"What's wrong?" Shen Zhi Qiu didn't notice Rong Mo not far away and looked at Lu Jia with a blank expression.
Lu Jia disregarded everything else and quickly retreated to the doorway, whispering, "The Rong family is here, Zhi Qiu, be prepared."
Shen Zhi Qiu's body stiffened.
After speaking, Lu Jia stepped back slightly and tilted her head to indicate that Shen Zhi Qiu should look at Rong Mo, who was not far away in the corridor.
The light was slightly dim. Shen Zhi Qiu squinted and frowned as she looked closely. A tall and slender figure was faintly visible.
The next second, Rong Mo lifted his foot and walked over.
Fearing that a sudden movement might frighten Shen Zhi Qiu, Rong Mo slowed his pace and walked slowly, but his eyes never left Shen Zhi Qiu for a moment.
Those few seconds felt like an eternity to Rong Mo. He suppressed his eagerness and gazed tenderly at Shen Zhi Qiu.
Suddenly, Gu Qingyan stepped forward, blocking Shen Zhi Qiu's path, and said to Rong Mo in an extremely cold tone, "I have said what I needed to say, please leave."
Rong Mo's lips curled into a mocking smile. He was slightly taller than Gu Qingyan, and with years of muscle training, his physique was stronger than Gu Qingyan's.
He glanced at Gu Qingyan, showing him no respect whatsoever, "I'll say it again, I'm here to pick up my sister, you have no right to say a word."
Shen Zhi Qiu stared blankly at the face that resembled her own, and remained silent for a long time after hearing his words.
Surprise? Shock? And a strange mix of emotions tugs at my heart.
Looking at her, Rong Mo felt a sharp pang in his heart. He smiled gently and reached out to pat Shen Zhi Qiu's head with a touch of affection.
But fearing that his abruptness might frighten her, he froze in mid-air for a second before gently lowering his hand, looking down at Shen Zhi Qiu, and softly said, "Zhi Qiu, I'm sorry, I'm late."
Everything happened so suddenly and unexpectedly. Shen Zhi Qiu rubbed her eyes in disbelief, then carefully examined the face in front of her. Excessive tension made her body tense, her neck stiff, and her heart pounding so hard that she couldn't help but put her hand down on her chest to catch her breath.
Lu Jia looked at her with some concern, but didn't know what to do, so he could only call her name softly.
Gu Qingyan then came to his senses and looked back at Shen Zhi Qiu's slightly flushed face, feeling a little worried. He quickly went behind Shen Zhi Qiu, wanting to pat her back to help her calm down.
Shen Zhi Qiu sensed his intention. Just as his hand was about to touch Shen Zhi Qiu's back, Shen Zhi Qiu stepped aside. Gu Qing Yan's hand missed, and he looked at Shen Zhi Qiu with some surprise.
Shen Zhi Qiu said calmly, "No need. I appreciate your kindness, but it's not necessary."
Gu Qingyan's face instantly darkened. His eyes stung slightly, and a strong bitterness began to spread in his heart.
"Zhi Qiu." Rong Mo watched this scene calmly, saying nothing, but gently calling her name.
Shen Zhi Qiu pursed her lips before turning her gaze back to Rong Mo.
Rong Mo smiled and turned around to call over Wei Qiao, who was still waiting at the elevator entrance.
Wei Qiao jogged over and handed a file folder to Shen Zhi Qiu with both hands.
"Open it and take a look." Rong Mo's eyes were clear, and he smiled gently, encouraging Shen Zhi Qiu to open it.
Shen Zhi Qiu hesitated for a moment, but still took it.
She opened the file bag very slowly, but she had a rough idea of what was inside.
Sure enough, a hospital examination report appeared in front of me.
She handed the file bag to Lu Jia, who was standing next to her, and then opened the inspection report.
Her hands trembled slightly as she slowly raised her head to look at Rong Mo.
Rong Mo didn't speak, but gazed at her intently, his eyes full of expectation.
"So, you really are my brother?" Shen Zhi Qiu was still a little uncertain and asked tentatively.
"Absolutely genuine." Rong Mo looked at her with gentle eyes and a smile on his lips as he spoke with certainty.
Seeing that Shen Zhi Qiu didn't speak, Rong Mo said softly again, "Zhi Qiu, come back to the capital with me. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one can bully you anymore. Whatever you want to do, I'll give it to you."
Shen Zhi Qiu pursed her lips, her hand unconsciously stroking her stomach.
Rong Mo frowned, looking at her with some heartache, and still gently comforted her, "Don't worry, there are the best hospitals in the capital. We will take good care of you and your child. The Rong family's child will definitely grow up safely and healthily."
Hearing Rong Mo's words, Shen Zhi Qiu felt conflicted. Her life had undergone a complete transformation recently, involving family, lovers, and friends. She was finding it difficult to make a decision, but she knew very well that she didn't want to stay here, or stay by Gu Qing Yan's side.
“But…” Shen Zhi Qiu thought of Lin Yun Jin, whose whereabouts were unknown, and Zhou Xiao Ran, who was still in danger, and a sense of guilt welled up in her heart again.
