Chapter 244 Amazing Arm Strength
Yu Li replied, "But I believe in the light."
She said in a soft, gentle voice, "Because you are my light."
If it weren't for the light, why would Qi Chenyan always appear so timely, always bringing light and allowing her, who was trapped in darkness, to regain her sight?
Jiang Donglin, who was standing not far away, watched this scene unfold silently.
He felt like he was watching "Autumn in My Heart".
It was clearly just an accident, and Yu Li would be rescued soon, but the man in front of her seemed afraid that she would be scared at all, so he tried his best to distract her with all sorts of coaxing tones.
Jiang Donglin, who prided himself on being a womanizer but considerate to every lover, now felt that his previous pride in his thoughtfulness was a joke in front of the person in front of him.
In fact, Jiang Donglin was completely stunned when he saw Qi Chenyan appear.
After all, seeing your junior sister's sweetheart in a place like this is less likely than winning the lottery.
But then, Qi Chenyan got into the car and made Jiang Donglin realize that something was wrong with a soft "Lili".
So, it was Qi Chenyan who had been keeping in touch with Yu Li?
No wonder he thought the voice sounded familiar. It belonged to a government official who appeared on the news every day. His voice represented the image of the country, and surely every Chinese person would recognize him.
Looking at his intimate actions with Yu Li, and the way Yu Li showed him, it was completely different from the dependence and trust she showed to others.
At that moment, Jiang Donglin clearly realized that he had lost.
After all, even someone as proud as him had to admit defeat in front of Qi Chenyan.
No wonder Yu Li didn't react to his hints at all during this period of contact.
Given that there is a better option like Qi Chenyan, it is not surprising that people would choose the former.
Strangely, Jiang Donglin knew perfectly well that he had no chance of winning, but he felt inexplicably uncomfortable and jealous.
This kind of mentality shouldn't exist in someone who is usually so carefree about any relationship.
Jiang Donglin forced himself to look away and not look.
But his gaze kept drifting back to his original position, uncontrollably.
He had to watch Yu Li and Qi Chenyan's intimate behavior in a self-torturing way.
Suddenly, the darkness before their eyes was replaced by light. As Yu Li's eyes were still half-closed in discomfort, Qi Chenyan bent down and leaned in to place a kiss on her forehead.
"Lili, you are my light too."
The dashboard had been cut off, and Yu Li's right foot was finally freed.
When Qi Chenyan leaned over and picked her up, Yu Li naturally placed her hands on the back of his neck.
Does your right foot hurt?
Qi Chenyan lowered his eyes and first inquired about her current situation.
Yu Li tried to move her ankle, but immediately felt a sharp pain. "It seems like I've injured my tendons and bones; I can't move it much."
"Don't move around, let's go to the hospital now, okay?"
Yu Li rested her head on his shoulder and nodded.
Fearing she might catch a cold, Qi Chenyan wrapped his coat around her, covering most of her body.
After thanking the police and asking his secretary to stay and handle the aftermath, Qi Chenyan looked at Jiang Donglin.
"So you were the guest my wife invited this time. No wonder your voice sounded familiar on the other end of the phone. But in the end, I still want to thank you."
"When we have some free time in the future, my wife and I will invite you to a simple meal to express our gratitude."
After all, Jiang Donglin was Tang Shi's senior, and he had also visited Tang Zhongyi's home. He was also a nodding acquaintance of Qi Chenyan.
Of course, Jiang Donglin wanted to befriend Qi Chenyan, but Qi Chenyan had no such intention and remained distant.
Jiang Donglin was a smart man. Since the other party didn't seem interested, he naturally stopped trying to get closer to them.
He simply assumed that Qi Chenyan and Yu Li were at most lovers because of their close relationship.
The word "wife" left Jiang Donglin stunned on the spot.
"Director Qi, you're too kind. It's my honor to participate in Miss Yu's program. It just so happens that we bumped into each other on the road. I think anyone would have helped, no matter who it was."
Qi Chenyan simply nodded in acknowledgment, and Yu Li also said thank you. Then Qi Chenyan didn't linger any longer, picked up Yu Li, got into the car, and left.
After all that work, Jiang Donglin ended up with nothing but... no, more accurately, he witnessed firsthand that Yu Li was already married.
He felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart, making him feel suffocated and unable to move forward or backward.

Qi Chenyan drove to a private hospital, which is also the hospital where Yu Li now regularly goes for prenatal checkups.
Before the doctor's examination, Qi Chenyan explained Yu Li's condition in one breath.
Because Qi Chenyan said what Yu Li wanted to say, her final concern was: "Doctor, has my baby been affected in any way?"
"We need to do an ultrasound to confirm this. But Ms. Yu, do you feel any discomfort in your abdomen right now?"
Yu Li shook her head, feeling that apart from her right foot and the psychological shock, everything else seemed fine.
After a thorough examination, it was fortunate that Yu Li's right foot was only injured by the compression of the tendons and ligaments, and the bone was not damaged.
As long as you don't put weight on your right foot, you should be fully recovered in about two weeks.
The ultrasound showed that the baby was healthy and had not been affected in any way.
Yu Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. After confirming that everything was alright, she expressed her desire to be discharged from the hospital as soon as Qi Chenyan returned with the medicine.
"Qi Chenyan, I want to go home. I don't like the smell of disinfectant in the hospital."
As she spoke, Yu Li took the initiative to extend her hands towards Qi Chenyan.
It's a gesture that looks like you want a hug.
Qi Chenyan smiled, perhaps without even his wife noticing.
Her physical contact with him has evolved from initial awkwardness to now being proactive in touching him, a sign of dependence and trust that stems from both body and soul.
Qi Chenyan hung the medicine bag on his wrist, then bent down and picked the person up.
Yu Li reminded him, "And my shoes, don't forget."
Qi Chenyan's arm strength is truly impressive. He can hold her with one arm and still have his other hand free to bend down and lift up her shoes.
Yu Li exclaimed "Wow!" and then kissed him on the cheek.
"My husband has amazing arm strength. Does he often secretly lift weights behind my back?"
Qi Chenyan laughed out loud: "Then how about I lift weights in front of Mrs. Qi from now on?"
Involuntarily, Yu Li's mind conjured up an image of Qi Chenyan taking off his shirt, revealing his well-defined eight-pack abs...
No! Stop!
Yu Li immediately covered her lower abdomen.
Qi Chenyan paused, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
He was about to turn back when he said that.
But then he heard his wife lower her head and speak to the baby in her belly as if chanting a mantra.
"Don't listen, baby, you have to forget everything Mommy just said."
