Chapter 454 Qi Mingxuan Receives Anonymous Email
Han Mingyu paused, a chilling murderous intent flashing in his eyes. "Lin Xiaoyue, you're courting death!"
"I'm barefoot anyway, so I'm not afraid of people wearing shoes!"
Han Mingyu gritted his teeth, his anger causing bruises to bulge on his forehead: "What exactly do you want in order to hand over the things!"
Lin Xiaoyue stared at him, "I want you, I want to be with you!"
"You're dreaming!"
"Han Mingyu, I'm serious! As long as you agree to be with me, I'll hand over all those things!"
"Do you think I'm a fool?" Han Mingyu grabbed her chin. "Are you worthy of being my woman?"
Lin Xiaoyue looked at him, tears streaming silently down her face.
"Over the years, I haven't been with anyone else. I don't ask for any title or status. I'd even be your lover for life. You sent me abroad to please Qi Mingxuan, and I accepted that! You promised to open a company for me to shut down to appease netizens in China, and you didn't! I accepted that too! Now, you've even confiscated my documents. I'm all alone here, living in fear every day. I accept all of that!"
"I love you. I really didn't mean to threaten you. I originally wanted to get back at Qi Mingxuan myself, but because you love her, and because she's Mrs. Han now, I didn't want to drag you into that unspeakable public opinion storm... Han Mingyu, I've liked you since I was 18, and my love for you is no less than Qi Mingxuan's. I only risked using those things to negotiate with you because I wanted to be with you!"
"After saying all that, are you getting all emotional?" Han Mingyu sneered. "Lin Xiaoyue, I'm saying this one last time: hand over the stuff!"
"Why……"
Lin Xiaoyue felt all her strength drain away at that moment. "I really can't understand why you still want Qi Mingxuan even after she's like that, but you just won't have me? I'll be very obedient, I'll be very well-behaved. I'll be content if you just spend a few days with me each month."
Despite her eloquent words, Han Mingyu remained unmoved. "All I can tell you is that the only thing I can offer you is money."
Han Mingyu released her hand, stood up, and looked down at her. "Lin Xiaoyue, this is your last chance."
Lin Xiaoyue lowered her head, her shoulders shrugging.
She was laughing and crying at the same time, her white skirt stained with dust from the ground.
"I understand, I will give the things to you."
Lin Xiaoyue pushed herself up to stand, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at him. "Han Mingyu, since you love her so much, I'll grant your wish, but I have one condition."
"What are the conditions?"
"Buy me a house. I don't want to live here. There are so many different kinds of people coming and going. I'm scared every day. The other day, a foreigner harassed me... Is that okay?"
Han Mingyu frowned. "No problem."
“I can’t go back to China. I know that even if you get the things, you’ll have someone monitor me. I know I’ll never really be free again in this life, but I don’t want to be idle for the rest of my life. I want to open a dance class. Can you help me?”
Han Mingyu pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then agreed.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and said, "I know you're wary of me. Come up with Guan Shuo. I'd rather hand that kind of thing to you myself."
Han Mingyu glanced at Guan Shuo.
Guan Shuo walked over and said to Lin Xiaoyue, "Miss Lin, please lead the way."
Lin Xiaoyue raised her hand to wipe away her tears, then turned and walked into the apartment building.
Guan Shuo and Han Mingyu followed behind her.
Upon reaching the third floor, Lin Xiaoyue opened the front door.
The small studio apartment, only a few dozen square meters, was filled with a faint floral fragrance.
Guan Shuo glanced at Han Mingyu.
Han Mingyu stood in the entryway, one hand in his pocket, and raised an eyebrow slightly at him.
Guan Shuo nodded and looked at Lin Xiaoyue: "Miss Lin, go get your things. Mr. Han and I will wait here."
Lin Xiaoyue looked at them and smiled helplessly, "Okay."
She entered the room, the door slightly ajar.
Guan Shuo and Han Mingyu were waiting in the living room.
Time passed slowly, but Lin Xiaoyue still hadn't come out of the room.
Han Mingyu was a little annoyed. He glanced at the time and saw that five minutes had passed.
"Go and take a look."
Guan Shuo nodded and walked outside the door.
The door was ajar, and Guan Shuo called out to the inside, "Miss Lin?"
No one responded.
Guan Shuo turned to look at Han Mingyu.
Han Mingyu frowned. "Let's go in and take a look."
"Miss Lin, I apologize for the intrusion." Guan Shuo turned around and pushed open the door—
There was no one in the room.
The bathroom door was open.
The sound of running water could be heard.
A faint fishy smell could still be detected in the air...
Guan Shuo's eyebrows twitched, and he rushed into the bathroom!
"Miss Lin!"
Han Mingyu had just lit a cigarette when he heard Guan Shuo's startled cry from inside the room—
"Mr. Han, Miss Lin has attempted suicide by cutting her wrists!"
The cigarette fell to the ground, and Han Mingyu strode into the room.
Around 5 a.m., the sky gradually began to lighten.
Guan Shuo opened the apartment building's main entrance door.
Han Mingyu carried the unconscious Lin Xiaoyue out of the apartment in a hurry.
Guan Shuo ran over and opened the back door.
Han Mingyu carried the person and bent down to get into the car.
The Maybach sped forward and disappeared into the road ahead.
…
Han Mingyu called Qi Mingxuan every day during his three-day trip abroad.
On the phone, Han Mingyu's voice was hoarse and sounded tired.
Qi Mingxuan asked him if the project was not going well.
Han Mingyu said yes, it might take a few more days before he can come back.
Qi Mingxuan understood him; that's how things are sometimes with overseas collaborations.
She reassured Han Mingyu that everything was fine at home and he shouldn't worry.
Han Mingyu listened on the other end of the phone, his tone becoming even gentler: "Wife, you need to take good care of yourself. I saw the weather forecast, and it says it will snow in Beicheng in the next couple of days. You need to keep warm. Your 20th week prenatal checkup is the day after tomorrow, and I can't go back yet. You can ask Mom to go with you."
Qi Mingxuan touched her belly and smiled, "Don't worry, Mom knows you're going abroad. She's been staying with me at Mingyuan every day these past few days. She just told me this morning that if you can't make it back, she'll come with me herself."
"That's good." Han Mingyu paused for a few seconds, then suddenly said, "Wife, I love you."
Qi Mingxuan smiled slightly and said, "I understand."
"And you?" Han Mingyu asked in a low voice, "We've been married for so long, and you've never seriously confessed your feelings to me."
Qi Mingxuan's face flushed. "I've said that before."
"The past is the past, the present is the present," Han Mingyu said. "The past doesn't count. Now we're together, and I want to hear you say you love me now."
"Don't be unreasonable."
“You won’t tell me,” Han Mingyu sighed, “or is it that you really don’t love me as much as before? Or has your heart changed?”
"..."
Qi Mingxuan felt that Han Mingyu was acting a bit strange today.
However, she didn't think much of it, assuming he was just too tired from work and wanted some comfort from her.
"My two children and I are waiting for you to come home," Qi Mingxuan said gently. "When you come back, I'll tell you."
"You've even learned to tease me now." Han Mingyu smiled helplessly. "Alright, it's getting late. You should go to sleep early. Before you go to sleep, you should play the prenatal education stories I recorded for the baby. Remember to listen to them every day, otherwise the baby won't recognize my voice when I get back."
Qi Mingxuan was both amused and exasperated. "It's only been a few days since I left home, how could it be so exaggerated!"
Remember that.
"Okay, I'll remember!" Qi Mingxuan yawned. "I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep now."
Okay, good night.
"good evening."
After hanging up the phone, Qi Mingxuan took out the prenatal education story that Han Mingyu had recorded in advance from her phone.
Click to play.
In the quiet master bedroom, the man's deep, magnetic voice slowly rose.
Qi Mingxuan, using a pregnancy pillow as a pillow, closed her eyes and fell asleep to the sound of the man reading aloud.
…
Country F.
It's late at night in China.
But it was a little after nine in the morning in Country F.
A private hospital in the capital, with VIP wards on the 20th floor.
Han Mingyu's tall figure stood in front of the window at the end of the corridor.
He had just ended a call with Qi Mingxuan, his feelings were mixed, and he raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose.
Anxious footsteps came from behind. "Mr. Han, Miss Lin is awake!"
Han Mingyu was startled, then realized what was happening, turned around and strode towards the ward!
That night, Lin Xiaoyue attempted suicide by cutting her wrists, severing her major artery. When she was taken to the hospital, she was already in shock. Han Mingyu was afraid that she would die like that, and that those things would really be leaked if she died. So he spent a lot of money to have the doctors snatch her back from the jaws of death!
Although Lin Xiaoyue is out of danger these past three days, the doctor said her will to live is very weak and it is still unknown whether she will wake up.
Han Mingyu had to wake her up; she hadn't handed over those things yet, how could she die!
Fortunately, the person has finally woken up.
…
The day of my 20-week prenatal checkup.
Han's mother accompanied Qi Mingxuan to Kangji Hospital for a prenatal checkup.
Everything went smoothly.
Qi Mingxuan and Han's mother were leaving the obstetrics and gynecology department when they ran into Ji Lin on the way.
Ji Lin first greeted Han's mother, then glanced at Qi Mingxuan's slightly protruding pregnant body, and then looked at Qi Mingxuan with a gentle expression, asking how the examination went.
Qi Mingxuan touched her belly and said with a smile that everything was fine.
Ji Lin nodded, "You look much better now than last time."
Han's mother laughed from the side, "A good complexion must mean it's a girl. They say girls are caring, and since Xiaoxuan got pregnant, her complexion has been visibly improving day by day. Director Li just praised her, saying that Xiaoxuan has also caught up in weight this time."
"That's great." Ji Lin smiled gently. "Just let me know if you need any help. We're all acquaintances."
Han's mother laughed and said, "Your dad already gave us a fast track, otherwise the check-up wouldn't have been completed so quickly!"
"Well then, Auntie, Xiaoxuan, I won't see you off. I have patients waiting for me."
"No need to see me off, you're busy, go quickly. We're all family, no need to be so polite," Han's mother waved to him.
Ji Lin nodded slightly, then turned and left.
Looking at Ji Lin's tall and slender figure, Han's mother couldn't help but sigh, "Ji Lin is such a worry-free boy. He's handsome and refined, and his medical skills are excellent. He's such a good young man. It's just strange, though, why hasn't he had a girlfriend yet?"
"Maybe I haven't met the right person yet?"
"Last time Mrs. Ji invited me to afternoon tea, she was also worried. The main reason is that Ji Lin spent eight years abroad, and you know how it is abroad, it's more open. Mrs. Ji is afraid that Ji Lin might be..."
Han's mother looked at Qi Mingxuan, her words unfinished, but her expression said it all.
"..." Qi Mingxuan was a little embarrassed. "Mom, Ji Lin probably isn't him, but it's a matter of personal privacy, so let's not speculate."
"That's true, there are so many young people who don't want to get married these days." Mother Han took Qi Mingxuan's arm and walked towards the elevator. "I was worried about Mingyu before, but thankfully, we met you, Xiaoxuan. You are simply the best gift God has given to our Han family!"
Qi Mingxuan was already used to Han's mother's flattery.
Since she became pregnant, Han's mother seemed to be afraid that she would be emotionally sensitive during pregnancy, so she took great care of her and always used her child to comfort her.
She felt helpless, but at the same time, she was very touched.
With her mother, Han once again felt her mother's love.
Qi Mingxuan cherishes the life she has now.
...
It was already noon when I got back to Mingyuan from the hospital.
After having lunch with Qi Mingxuan, Han's mother returned to Hanlou to rest.
Qi Mingxuan also went back to her room to prepare for a midday rest.
She lay in bed, took out her phone, and habitually checked whether Han Mingyu had sent her any messages.
Just then, WeChat notified me of an email.
She thought it was a work email and clicked on it instinctively.
Unexpectedly, it was an anonymous email.
It's full of photos.
The photo was taken from a candid angle.
The background is a hospital, and the man is holding a woman in a hospital gown in his arms.
The photo wasn't very clear, but Qi Mingxuan recognized him immediately; the man in the photo was Han Mingyu.
With slightly trembling fingertips, she tapped one of the photos, zoomed in, and focused on the man's face.
She observed carefully, not missing a single detail.
I searched carefully, but I couldn't find it.
There's not a single trace of photo editing...
