Chapter 326 He almost lost an arm saving you.
Shen Qingshu had no appetite, and she shook her head.
Fu Siyan looked at her pale and thin face and felt heartbroken, but he also knew that she was sick and had no appetite, so he couldn't bear to force her.
Fu Siyan took care of all the caregiving duties. After the nurse finished reconnecting the IV drip, she gave a few instructions and left.
The ward was quiet.
Fu Siyan sat by the hospital bed, silently gazing at Shen Qingshu.
Shen Qingshu felt somewhat uncomfortable being stared at like that.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Shen Qingshu cleared her throat and asked, "How long have I been asleep?"
Fu Siyan sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at her with gentle eyes, and said, "You can sleep for a day and a night."
She then asked, "The two children didn't cause any trouble, did they?"
"No, they are very understanding. I also video chatted with them and told them that I might not be able to go home for the next few days while I was working. They even reminded me to remind you to eat."
Shen Qingshu felt a warm feeling in her heart.
Both children have always been angels, so sensible that it breaks your heart.
Shen Qingshu glanced around and found that this ward was very different from the other wards.
Which hospital is this?
"This is Qin's Hospital, arranged by Qin Yancheng. Your current physical condition requires some peace and quiet. The equipment and medical care here are one-on-one, so you can focus on getting better here."
Shen Qingshu nodded.
The two stared at each other, speechless for a moment.
Although they have reconciled and agreed to live peacefully together and raise their child together, they have not yet reached an agreement.
But as her ex-husband, Shen Qingshu felt that Fu Siyan didn't need to go to such lengths.
"Have you never left?"
Fu Siyan nodded, "You're still sick, and I'm worried about you."
“There are doctors and nurses here, you don’t actually need to stay with me all the time.” Shen Qingshu looked at him, her voice gentle. “I don’t mean to send you away, I just think it’s too much trouble for you. You probably have your own things to do…”
“You know what happened to me. Now that the mission is complete, I’m free.” Fu Siyan said earnestly, as if afraid she wouldn’t believe him, his tone even a little urgent: “A-Shu, don’t worry, no one will hurt you and the child anymore.”
Shen Qingshu was slightly taken aback. "That's not what I meant."
"So you think it's annoying for you that I'm watching over you?"
Shen Qingshu looked at him.
After a moment of silence, she sighed, seemingly helplessly.
“Fu Siyan, didn’t we agree that from now on we would just be parents of two children, and we would only need to raise the children together? As for taking care of me, I don’t think you have that obligation, and I don’t want to owe you any favors.”
"Ah Shu, don't worry, I'm taking care of you voluntarily. I'll leave once you've recovered."
Fu Siyan looked at her with a firm expression, "But at least let me do my part now. I owe you too much in the past, and I know I can't make up for it. But now you are sick and hospitalized, which is the time when you need someone to take care of you. If I stand idly by, how can I feel at ease?"
“Fu Siyan, I have my own pride, and I don’t need your sympathy.”
“It’s not pity!” Fu Siyan said urgently, “I’m the one who owes you something in the end, so whatever I do now is only right.”
“But I don’t necessarily need you to take care of me.” Shen Qingshu looked at him, her tone indifferent. “Xiao Wen and Qiao Xingjia are here too…”
“Qiao Xingjia has her own family, and Xiao Xingchen is still young and needs her mother’s company. How can she have time to be on call 24 hours a day like I do? As for Wen Jingxi, I know you two are like siblings, but he also has his own job. Besides, when you’re not around, the two children need him to take care of them. As for Teacher Bai and Teacher Jiang, they are getting old. Are you willing to let them suffer?”
Shen Qingshu frowned, "I can hire a caregiver..."
“We need to hire a caregiver, a female caregiver, because there are some things that are really inconvenient for me, an ex-husband, to do.”
Shen Qingshu: "..."
Fu Siyan sighed and softened his tone, "A-Shu, think about it from another perspective. I am the child's father. If I take good care of you, you will be able to better accompany the child when you recover your health. Taking care of you is actually helping myself as well. So, you don't need to feel embarrassed."
Shen Qingshu: "..."
As expected of a lawyer, if it really came down to a debate, Shen Qingshu would find herself unable to argue with him, no matter how logical or absurd his reasoning was!
Just as the two were at an impasse, there was a knock on the ward door.
Fu Siyan immediately got up to open the door.
Qiao Xingjia was standing outside the door.
"Is Ah Shu awake?"
Fu Siyan stepped aside to let her pass, "She just woke up and hasn't eaten anything yet. I'll go downstairs and make some porridge. You can keep her company."
Qiao Xingjia responded faintly.
Fu Siyan strode away.
The figure walked away in a hurry, which amused Qiao Xingjia.
“When I came to see you before, Fu Siyan wasn’t this eager to leave. What? Do I look like I have ‘murderous intent’ written all over my face today?”
Qiao Xingjia closed the door and sat down on Shen Qingshu's bedside.
Shen Qingshu looked at her and sighed helplessly, "I was just talking to him, and you came before we finished talking."
Qiao Xingjia found it intriguing and asked, "What are you two talking about?"
“I just feel that he doesn’t need to stay at the hospital all the time. After all, we are divorced. As an ex-husband, he doesn’t need to do this.”
"Oh, I get it!" Qiao Xingjia stroked her chin. "You're afraid that while he's taking care of you, you might accidentally fall for him again and end up sleeping with him again?"
Shen Qingshu: "...Why don't you go back and buy two elementary school reading comprehension books to improve your comprehension skills?"
Qiao Xingjia laughed heartily, "Just kidding, I know what you're thinking!"
Shen Qingshu gave her a reproachful look, "You're so cheeky."
"But Ah Shu, he's the child's father. Even if he's taking care of you as a friend, it's only natural. Besides, he has resources, and I heard from Qin Yancheng that he's currently free. He has the time and wants to take care of you, so just accept it!"
"But I feel uncomfortable."
"Uncomfortable?" Qiao Xingjia raised an eyebrow. "How am I uncomfortable? I don't even need him to help me pee... Ouch! That hurts! Why are you hitting me!"
Shen Qingshu glared at her, "Your mouth is getting more and more uncontrollable."
Qiao Xingjia covered her slapped arm, looked at her, and after a moment of silence, sighed helplessly.
"Ah Shu, don't you really feel that Fu Siyan has changed?"
"I felt it."
"So you really don't plan to give him another chance?"
"I'll become a nun." Shen Qingshu looked up at the ceiling. "Why do you even have to ask me this kind of question?"
“Because you have a child!” Qiao Xingjia analyzed realistically: “Although I’m not so optimistic about Fu Siyan either, as a woman, and a new mother going through the pain of weaning, I think you and Fu Siyan must be connected because you have a child. Besides, you’ve been through life and death together! I heard that he almost lost one of his hands trying to save you!”
Shen Qingshu pursed her lips, and the scene from that day involuntarily resurfaced in her mind...
Qiao Xingjia observed Shen Qingshu's expression, but she was too calm.
As a sister, Qiao Xingjia also couldn't see through it.
“Ah Shu, if you two divorced amicably and both quickly found new partners, then I think there's absolutely no possibility between you two anymore, but…”
"Right now, you're only interested in money and not men, while Fu Siyan has clearly come to his senses for love. He's obviously positioned himself as a knight in shining armor. I can see that he won't force a reconciliation, but he wants to silently protect you as the father of your child. To say that there's no expectation in this protection is impossible! As long as there's love, there will be expectation. It's like boiling a frog in lukewarm water. Faced with such protection, you might be able to clearly reject him for a year, two years, or even five years, but if he doesn't give up, how long can you hold out? You might be able to firmly reject him now, but what about ten years from now? When you're old and frail, suffering from illness and hardship, and you have someone caring for you by your side, will you still be able to firmly reject him then?"
Shen Qingshu turned her head to look out the window.
Blue skies and white clouds—it's a very nice day.
She shook her head, her voice faint, "Old age is too far away."
Whether she can even survive this year is still unknown, so why would she think about something so far in the future?
Qiao Xingjia knew her concerns.
Perhaps it was because Shen Qingshu's illness was too sudden and too dangerous that Qiao Xingjia now only wants Shen Qingshu to live a little more selfishly and recklessly.
She added, "Ah Shu, if Fu Siyan is willing to stay by your side, then let him stay by your side. Why do you care what he thinks? The most important thing is that you can truly receive proper care. Besides, even if you do get back together with him in the end, I will still support you. You shouldn't think so much now. Wait until you're better and then dump him decisively. He deserves it!"
Shen Qingshu found it unbelievable.
She looked at Qiao Xingjia and said, "I've only been abroad for a little over two months, how come... you've suddenly come to understand so much?"
“Because…” Qiao Xingjia sighed, lay on the bed, and said listlessly, “I’ve been thinking about my life lately and have been reading a lot of books.”
Shen Qingshu teased her, "The domineering CEO's little wife?"
Qiao Xingjia glared at her.
"The CEO's Runaway Pregnant Wife?"
Qiao Xingjia glared at her again.
Shen Qingshu hesitated for a moment, "Those were...the years when I was secretly married to the movie star?"
"Shen Qingshu!" Qiao Xingjia roared, standing up. "I'm reading published books, philosophy books!"
Shen Qingshu was somewhat surprised, "For example?"
"To Live!"
Shen Qingshu: "...What triggered you?"
It's really unusual that someone with Qiao Xingjia's carefree personality would watch "To Live".
"I want a divorce."
Shen Qingshu was taken aback, thinking she was sick and hallucinating. "Xingxing, what did you just say?"
"Ah Shu, I'm serious, I want a divorce."
As Qiao Xingjia finished speaking, the ward door was pushed open.
They both turned their heads at the same time—
Qin Yancheng stood outside the door, one hand gripping the doorknob.
