Chapter 733 Something Happened
It got dark.
When Qi Yue returned to the hospital, Shen Anning had just finished her IV drip, and the nurse was removing the needle.
Upon seeing Qi Yue return, the nurse smiled and said, "Mr. Qi is here."
Qi Yue nodded slightly to the nurse and asked, "How is my wife this afternoon?"
The nurse said, "Everything is fine. You just finished an IV drip of anti-inflammatory medicine, and you'll have another IV fluid tonight. I'll give you some more after dinner."
"Okay, thank you," Qi Yue said calmly.
"No, it's our duty." The nurse finished packing and pushed the medical cart out of the ward.
The ward door closed.
Qi Yue walked over and sat down next to Shen Anning, gently touching her face with his large hand. "Sorry, am I too late?"
"No, it's only natural that you're busy with work." Shen Anning looked at him calmly. "I have nurses taking care of me here, so it wouldn't have mattered if you hadn't come."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Qi Yue frowned, strongly disagreeing with her words. "You're my wife, how could I not come to take care of you when you're sick?"
Shen Anning looked at Qi Yue.
Looking at his familiar face, and seeing the concern in his eyes.
The fear in my heart was spreading little by little.
In the four years of their marriage, she had been living such a smooth and sweet life that she had almost forgotten the dark days they had each gone through.
"Qi Yue, no matter what happens, you won't leave me and the child, right?"
Qi Yue was taken aback. A few seconds later, he looked up at Shen Anning and saw that she had a serious expression on her face.
He smiled helplessly, "Why are you suddenly asking this? Anning, we've been married for so long, do you still doubt my feelings for you?"
"That's not what I meant." Shen Anning pursed her lips, her mind a jumble, unsure how to explain herself.
Qi Yue, however, thought that it was because she was sick and that people tend to overthink when they look haggard.
He gently stroked her hair with his large hand, then hugged her and lowered his head to kiss her forehead: "Don't overthink it. No matter what happens, I will always be with you and the baby."
Shen Anning leaned her head against his chest and whispered, "I believe in you, Qi Yue. Remember, I believe in you, now and in the future, I will always believe in you! So I hope you will promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you must remember that I believe in you."
Qi Yue stroked her slender back with his large hand, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, and replied in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll remember."
Shen Anning reached out and hugged him, closed her eyes, and made a decision in her heart.
...
That night, Qi Yue stayed with Shen Anning at the hospital as usual.
Fu Siyan and Shen Qingshu called, intending to visit Shen Anning, but Shen Anning said there were many germs in the hospital and she was worried that they might bring germs back and infect the two children, so she only made a phone call and video chatted for a few minutes.
Since falling ill, Shen Anning has visibly lost weight.
Fu Siyan felt sorry for her and told her to reduce her workload appropriately and take care of her health first.
Shen Anning verbally agreed, hung up the video call, and immediately turned to open her laptop to continue working.
The court hearing is tomorrow morning, so she has to go through all the documents and evidence again tonight.
Qi Yue couldn't persuade her, so he simply became her assistant.
The couple didn't finish work until after 10 p.m.
Shen Anning rubbed her sore eyes.
Qi Yue got up and went into the bathroom, filled a basin with warm water, and placed it by the bedside.
Then, she knelt down, looked up at Shen Anning sitting on the bed, and said gently, "Soaking your feet will make you sleep more comfortably."
During her postpartum period, Qi Yue often washed Shen Anning's feet.
They were both very familiar with this kind of thing.
Shen Anning naturally stretched her feet out from under the covers, her two fair little feet gently stepping on the man's legs.
She was still holding the documents in her hand, checking them one by one in order.
Qi Yue held her foot in his large hand and gently placed it into the warm water.
Is the water temperature okay?
“Okay.” Shen Anning looked at him intently without raising her eyes.
Qi Yue gently stroked the soles of her feet with his fingertips.
It tickled a little, and Shen Anning flinched, only to have the man's large hand grip her tightly.
"Don't move."
Shen Anning put down the documents and looked at Qi Yue, "It's a little itchy..."
"Bear with it." Qi Yue looked at her, his dark eyebrows slightly raised.
Shen Anning knew he was doing it on purpose.
He knew perfectly well that the soles of her feet were her Achilles' heel!
"If you keep bothering me, I might splash your foot bath water all over you later!"
Such things have happened before.
The first time Qi Yue washed her feet, he accidentally touched the soles of her feet. Shen Anning reacted strongly, and in the struggle, she splashed water all over Qi Yue.
Qi Yue didn't mind, but he didn't have a second set of clothes to change into while he was in the hospital.
"I won't tease you anymore," Qi Yue surrendered. "You have to get up early tomorrow."
“I’ll have Xiaoxue pick me up from court tomorrow,” Shen Anning said. “You can go directly to the company; you don’t need to pick me up or drop me off.”
"No rush." Qi Yue took her feet out of the water, wrapped them in a dry towel, and gently wiped them.
After drying her feet, he put them under the covers. "I'm worried about you being sick. I'll go to court with you tomorrow, and we'll come right back after it's over."
"This will take a whole morning. I see you've been very busy at work lately. Are you sure it won't be a problem?"
"No," Qi Yue said. "I've got everything planned for this afternoon. Just listen to me, okay?"
Shen Anning felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
This was the first time Qi Yue had visited her during a lawsuit since she became a lawyer.
To be honest, she was a little excited and a little nervous.
I hope everything goes well tomorrow.
When Qi Yue went to Guanting for the first time, she wanted him to see her win!
…
The next morning, Qi Yue took Shen Anning to the attending physician to ask for leave.
Qi Yue drove Shen Anning directly to the court.
Upon arriving at the court, before the trial began, Qi Yue took Shen Anning's temperature, and thankfully she did not have a fever.
Because of the lawsuit, Shen Anning stopped taking her morning medication, fearing that some of the medications would make her sleepy and affect her performance.
When the court session began, Shen Anning put on her lawyer's coat and led Bai Xiaoxue into the courtroom...
...
This criminal case was heard in open court.
Qi Yue sat in the audience, watching Shen Anning calmly and sharply present her evidence, repeatedly and clearly refuting the opposing arguments...
His face, pale and haggard from illness, was resolute, showing no trace of sickness.
With the lawsuit halfway through, Qi Yue curled the corners of his mouth.
He knew that Shen Anning would win.
...
The court hearing ended at 11:30 a.m.
Shen Anning won.
Qi Yue sat in the audience the whole time, watching her shine.
After the court hearing ended, Shen Anning strode out.
In the corridor, Qi Yue stood there waiting for her.
Shen Anning smiled and ran towards him—
Qi Yue opened his arms and hugged her, then lowered his head to kiss her forehead: "Wonderful, amazing, my dear lawyer."
Shen Anning tilted her chin slightly as she looked at him, her eyes welling up with tears: "Do you know? Before the trial, neither the head of the prosecution department nor I expected the case to go so smoothly... Qi Yue, you are my lucky charm!"
Qi Yue was amused by her words and raised an eyebrow, jokingly saying, "Then I'll come often from now on?"
"No way! You should focus on managing your company and making money to support me and our two sons!"
Qi Yue was amused by her and put his arm around her as they walked out. "We won the case, let's go back to the hospital."
"good!"
...
After taking Shen Anning back to her ward, Qi Yue went to the company again.
This trip took most of the day.
Qi Yue didn't return to the hospital until 5 p.m.
But when he pushed open the ward door, it was empty; Shen Anning was gone.
A patient's gown lay on the hospital bed.
Her own clothes are missing.
Qi Yue's heart sank, and he immediately went to the nurses' station to inquire.
The nurse was very surprised to hear that Shen Anning was not in the ward. "She's gone? No... I just went in fifteen minutes ago to help her remove the needles?"
