"Who are you looking for?" Yan Lin asked warily.
The man's gaze pierced through the courtyard gate, and he immediately saw the Ye family members in the courtyard. He smiled and stepped forward to extend his hand to Yan Lin, saying politely yet distantly, "Hello, my name is Zhou Meng, Ye Qiqi's fiancé."
fiancé? !
These three words struck Yan Lin's heart like a thunderbolt.
He had a feeling of being in another world.
"Are you sure?" Yan Lin's voice trembled slightly.
Zhou Meng couldn't help but laugh.
A meaningful look appeared on his handsome and masculine face: "Yes, when Qiqi was in the countryside, the old folks arranged a marriage for us when we were little. Six years ago, I proposed to her, and she agreed."
Yan Lin glanced back at Ye Qiqi.
A woman in a long white dress, looking somewhat bewildered, was catching butterflies under a tree, with two children following her on either side. Her eyes and brows were full of love for the children.
Instantly, his eyes sharpened: "You're lying! Qiqi has a five-year-old son, and you were completely unaware of it, yet you dare to claim to be her fiancé!"
"I know."
While Yan Lin was speechless, Zhou Meng readily admitted it.
He said, "I was participating in a research project in the north and completely lost contact with the outside world. By the time I got home, my family had already told me."
“I don’t mind. She must have suffered immense pain, pain that most people cannot bear. It was my fault for the long five-year journey to seek medical treatment. I missed a crucial part of her life. I will spend the rest of my life protecting her.”
Zhou Meng looked sincere.
"you--"
Yan Lin was deeply troubled.
He was speechless.
So, with a stern face, he took Zhou Meng to meet the Ye family.
Ye Ting was suddenly jolted.
He hurried down the steps, walked to Zhou Meng, and then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, led Zhou Meng outside. In a deep voice, he said, "Mengzi, where have you been these past few years? The last time you saw... Xiao, saw Qiqi, do you remember what happened?"
Zhou Meng was momentarily stunned.
But he quickly realized what had happened and slowly recalled the past: "The last time was when she took me to the science station. She told me that she was going to Haicheng to find a sister surnamed Xu. She also told me that if I couldn't find her in Beijing, I should come to Linyuan in Haicheng, where I would definitely be able to see her."
That year, he participated in scientific research and development, and was under complete closed management.
He hesitated a little, but Qiqi encouraged and supported him, saying that he could wait, even ten or eight years would be fine, because her heart was already with him, no longer concerned with being together day and night.
For the past six years, he has been filled with fear, unease, and worry, fearing that Qiqi would not be able to wait and would marry someone else early.
There were female scientists on the site who were interested in him, and several senior colleagues wanted to introduce him to potential partners, but he refused them all outright and even announced that Qiqi was his fiancée.
He heard as soon as he got home that Qiqi had an accident and had given birth...
This was a heavy blow to him.
He thought she couldn't wait and married someone else, until her family told him that Qiqi had fallen seriously ill and even gave birth to a son in a daze, and the man never showed up again.
At that moment, he understood.
Qiqi must have been cruelly hurt; nothing happened as she wished.
Therefore, he rushed to the Ye family in Beijing and learned from the eldest uncle of the Ye family that the Ye family had moved to Haicheng in order to treat Qiqi's illness.
Remembering the instructions he had given 776 years ago, he went straight to Lin Garden.
“…Alright.” Ye Ting sighed deeply.
He didn't know how to explain for a moment, so he patted Zhou Meng on the shoulder and reminded him, "Qi Qi is no longer your Qi Qi. You need to be prepared."
Zhou Meng said seriously, "Uncle, no matter what happens, no matter how many children Qiqi has, I am willing to accept it and want to take care of her for the rest of her life. In order to take care of her nearby, I have withdrawn from the new project and will teach at Haicheng University from now on."
"..." Ye Ting.
This silly child.
He had mixed feelings, and led Zhou Meng into the house.
When Zhou Meng saw Ye Qiqi, he was extremely surprised.
This isn't Qiqi.
His gaze shifted to the Ye family, but they were all silent, including Liu Zhaodi, and seemed somewhat at a loss for what to do.
"What, you can't accept that she has a child? You might as well give up sooner rather than later," Yan Lin said abruptly.
Ever since Zhou Meng appeared, he felt a strange sense of crisis and stayed close to Ye Qiqi, ready to rush over to her whenever she showed any signs of distress.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Meng squatted down, looked up at Ye Qiqi, his eyes filled with tears, and said apologetically, "Qiqi, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late, I couldn't protect you. It's all my fault for being selfish back then..."
At this moment, Ye Qiqi, who was lost in thought, had a flicker of emotion in her eyes when she saw Zhou Meng.
The next second, she reached out and grabbed his wrist. Two lines of tears silently streamed down her bright black eyes, the tears rolling down harder and harder, and her whole body began to convulse.
"Waaah—"
Ye Qiqi's body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.
"Seven Seven—"
Everyone panicked and turned pale with fright.
Yan Lin was faster than anyone else, getting a step ahead of Zhou Meng. He forcefully swung aside Zhou Meng's arms, picked up Ye Qiqi, and ran away.
"Seventh seven, seventh seven—"
Zhou Meng chased after him.
The Ye family members also ran around in a chaotic manner.
Chaos broke out on the street.
Yan Lin's large-scale actions disrupted things.
He carried Ye Qiqi all the way to the hospital, shouting, "Dai Chunying, Dai Chunying, I'm looking for Dr. Dai! Qiqi has fainted, she's fainted!"
When Dai Chunying arrived at the ward, she was almost frightened as well.
