Gu Qingyan couldn't stand being insulted to his face, and angrily turned and walked towards the door of the ward.
Hearing the door open, Rong Mo couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, thinking that he had finally gotten rid of this persistent ghost.
Unexpectedly, the footsteps stopped at that moment.
Rong Mo frowned, turned around and looked at Gu Qingyan before closing the door again.
Gu Qingyan calmly walked back, as if nothing had happened.
"Let's go," Gu Qingyan said to everyone, his tone extremely natural.
Shen Zhi Qiu was speechless and ignored Gu Qing Yan. She turned to Lu Jia with concern and asked, "Are you feeling unwell today?"
Lu Jia smiled and shook her head. "Everything is fine, don't worry."
Shen Zhi Qiu was still a little worried. Although the gauze on Lu Jia's head had been removed a few days ago and the doctor had done several examinations to confirm that she could be discharged, she was still not at ease.
Shen Zhi Qiu frowned and reached out to touch the back of Lu Jia's head to check. Lu Jia smiled and gently grabbed her hand, saying with a relaxed expression, "What? Are you still worried? The doctor has checked multiple times. Listen to me, don't worry anymore."
Seeing the two's intimate actions, Gu Qingyan's face immediately darkened.
"You'll get used to it eventually." Rong Mo stood next to Gu Qingyan, glanced at her, and said in a low voice.
Gu Qingyan pursed his lips and didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he was trying his best to restrain himself.
Before leaving, the doctor came again and gave a long list of precautions. Shen Zhi Qiu listened attentively, afraid of missing a single detail.
Gu Qingyan stood not far away like a stone, watching Shen Zhi Qiu without speaking or moving, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Only after everyone had packed up their belongings and was preparing to leave did Gu Qingyan step forward and silently follow behind.
Perhaps because she had been standing for a while, Shen Zhi Qiu was a little tired and rubbed her lower back with her hand.
Rong Mo walked in front, while Lu Jia walked alongside Shen Zhi Qiu on his right, so neither of them noticed this small detail.
Only Gu Qingyan, who was walking behind, saw it. He immediately stepped forward and walked to Shen Zhiqiu's left. Then he reached out his right hand and put it on Shen Zhiqiu's waist from behind, and whispered, "Are you tired? Let me support you a little."
Lu Jia was taken aback for a moment, feeling a little guilty for not noticing. She lowered her head, looked at the chairs at the front of the corridor, and asked softly, "Should we sit down for a bit before we go? We're not in a hurry to go back anyway."
Shen Zhi Qiu nodded, indeed a little tired, and it would be good to rest for a while. Then, she reached out and pried Gu Qing Yan's hand away, saying coldly, "I can do it myself. We're divorced, so please don't touch me, it's impolite."
"I didn't do well before, I didn't care enough about you, it was my fault. I didn't mean anything by it, I was just worried that you were having a hard time while pregnant, and that you might fall and hurt yourself," Gu Qingyan said dejectedly.
"It's too late." Shen Zhi Qiu rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "When I needed you before, did you ever care if I was pregnant? Your eyes and heart were only for Xiao Wan Qing. Now look at you, we're divorced, legally speaking, we're strangers. What are you trying to do now?"
"Can we not argue?" Gu Qingyan lowered her eyes, her tone pleading.
"You should leave. If you keep acting like this, people will think I'm being unreasonable and bullying you." Shen Zhi Qiu sat in the chair, not looking at him.
"I'm not leaving." Gu Qingyan's stubbornness kicked in, and she stood there guarding him.
Lu Jia sighed. He knew very well that Gu Qingyan was clearly regretting his actions. However, for so many years, he had been in a high position and had always been treated like a star, so it was difficult for him to truly lower his head and humble himself to understand what Shen Zhi Qiu needed. He simply followed his own ideas.
But he forgot how resolute Shen Zhi Qiu was; once she made up her mind, she would never turn back.
Seeing that Shen Zhi Qiu had not come out for a long time, Rong Mo brought Wei Qiao back.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Rong Mo walked to Shen Zhi Qiu's side, bent down, and looked at her with concern.
"I'm fine, just a little tired and want to rest." Shen Zhi Qiu smiled weakly. "Maybe it's because I'm more pregnant, standing for a long time really makes me tired."
"Wei Qiao, go borrow a wheelchair," Rong Mo said to Wei Qiao.
“No need,” Shen Zhi Qiu grabbed Rong Mo’s arm. “Brother, have you forgotten? The doctor told me to exercise more, as sitting for too long isn’t good. I was just standing for too long and I’m a little hungry. I’ll be fine after ten minutes of rest.”
Rong Mo nodded, stopping Wei Qiao who had already taken a few steps away. Then, looking at Shen Zhi Qiu, he smiled and said, "Looks like you're hungry. How about we go eat first? It's almost lunchtime anyway."
After leaving the hospital, Rong Mo helped Shen Zhi Qiu into the car and then sat down on either side of her with Lu Jia.
Wei Qiao opened the driver's side door and sat down, while Gu Qingyan also opened the passenger side door, sat down, and fastened his seatbelt.
"Gu Qingyan, are you crazy? Get down." Shen Zhi Qiu looked at him so familiarly and said with a straight face. She really thought he was going insane.
"I'm not getting off." Gu Qingyan fastened her seatbelt and looked straight ahead. "I promise I won't bother you."
Rong Mo glanced at the time, worried that Shen Zhi Qiu might be hungry, and didn't want to waste time with Gu Qing Yan here, so he instructed Wei Qiao to drive.
Shen Zhi Qiu leaned forward, wanting to retort to Gu Qing Yan again. But Lu Jia placed his hand on hers at the right moment, gently shook his head, and whispered comfortingly in her ear, "Don't get upset. Your brother has his reasons for doing this."
Shen Zhi Qiu glanced at Rong Mo, who gave her a reassuring look with a smile.
"Wei Qiao, let's go to Lizhuang. Zhi Qiu loves the food there."
Shen Zhi Qiu frowned. She had never been to this restaurant before, nor had she ever eaten their food. How could she possibly like it?
Shen Zhi Qiu was about to speak when Rong Mo subtly gestured to her with his eyes not to ask.
A dozen minutes later, their car came to a smooth stop in front of the Lizhuang Restaurant.
"Let's go." Rong Mo glanced at Gu Qingyan. "You get out of the car first, and help support Zhi Qiu later. Lu Jia's injury has just healed, and I'm afraid he won't have the strength. It would be troublesome if he couldn't support Zhi Qiu and she fell."
Gu Qingyan nodded, opened the car door, and got out.
"Wei Qiao, let's go quickly," Rong Mo said in a low voice.
Gu Qingyan was waiting for Lu Jia to get out of the car, but he watched helplessly as the car drove away in front of him.
Gu Qingyan's face turned pale with anger, her expression a mixture of rage and helplessness.
