Chapter 998 Since we can't leave, let's stay!
"..."
Chi Yingzhou sat on the sofa, and Qu Qingli sat in his lap.
The process was very careful to ensure that her stomach was not touched.
Are you alright?
Fearing he might faint again, Qu Qingli looked at him with concern and asked.
"fine."
Chi Yingzhou wrapped his arms around Qu Qingli's waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and took a deep breath of her fresh and pleasant scent: "I'm just a little dizzy, my legs are a little weak, and my heart is beating a little fast."
"..."
Qu Qingli felt that his words were half true and half false.
There will definitely be some discomfort, but it certainly won't be that bad.
Chi Yingzhou is a cunning fox; his schemes and tricks are more numerous than the hairs on his head.
"Ah Li, what's in the drawer..."
"It's with me." Qu Qingli interrupted him, her calm voice ringing out: "Assistant Zhou told me everything."
"all?"
Chi Yingzhou swallowed hard, his eyes revealing his guilt.
"all!"
Qu Qingli lifted her eyelids, staring intently at the man, and pursed her red lips: "Chi Yingzhou, what is it about me that makes you want to do this?"
“It’s worth it anywhere.” Chi Yingzhou’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his voice hoarse: “Ah Li, I wanted to commit suicide that day.”
"What?" Qu Qingli exclaimed in surprise. Assistant Zhou hadn't told her about this.
"If it weren't for you, I might be dead."
Chi Yingzhou approached Qu Qingli, his eyes bloodshot, his gaze filled with pain and deep affection: "Besides Grandpa, you are the only warmth I have ever felt in this world."
"You gave me this life, so I'm willing to do anything for you."
"Including paving the way for me and Liang Mu?" Qu Qingli's throat was dry, and her eyes were so sore that she could barely open them.
What would it feel like to let the person you love be with another man?
"You're happy with him." Chi Yingzhou didn't deny it, a faint smile playing on his lips. "As long as you're happy, that's enough."
"Even if I like Liang Muye now and don't like you, do you not care?" Qu Qingli stared at him.
"Don't you like me?" Chi Yingzhou squeezed her hand, his smile widening, his tone certain: "Ali, you like me, right?"
There was no coercion.
There was no pressure.
He "tried" for more than three years, wasn't it all just to make her willingly fall in love with him?
“I know you still have feelings for Liang Muye, and I’ve never wanted to compete with him for anything.” Chi Yingzhou’s gaze was incredibly deep. “Fortunately, you also have feelings for me.”
Not only him, but also his baby.
Liang Mu also had her for more than ten years.
But he—
She will have many decades of her life.
How could I be angry!
It is his honor!
After hearing his words, Qu Qingli remained stunned for a long time.
Does she still like Liang Muye?
I'm not sure if this feeling is youthful dependence or guilt.
But she was absolutely certain about Chi Yingzhou.
She liked him.
I really like it.
"Ah Li, I've finished speaking." Seeing that she remained silent, Chi Yingzhou spoke softly, feeling very uncertain.
This was his last resort; if Ali still didn't forgive him...
"oh."
Qu Qingli licked her dry lips, her expression calm: "Let's eat after we're done talking, the food's getting cold."
Have a meal?
After all he's said, isn't he going to give any response?
Will I forgive him?
But since he was invited to stay for dinner, he probably wasn't too angry, right?
Chi Yingzhou obediently walked over, sat down, and habitually peeled shrimp for her.
Qu Qingli glanced at him, noticing the bruises and needle marks on the back of his hand: "No need, eat your own."
“Shrimp can prick your hands…” Chi Yingzhou pursed his lips. Ah Li likes to eat shrimp, but she doesn’t know how to peel them, so he always helps her.
If you ignore what I say again, you can leave.
"Thud—"
The shrimp was immediately put back on the plate, and Chi Yingzhou lowered his head to drink his porridge.
Qu Qingli's complexion improved considerably, and she picked up a spoon as well.
The two faced each other, and neither spoke.
While eating...
Chi Yingzhou suddenly smiled slightly.
"?"
Qu Qingli, biting into her egg pancake, looked up at him with a puzzled expression: "What are you laughing at?"
Did they put laughing pills in the takeout?
"Happy."
Chi Yingzhou tightened his grip on his chopsticks, his Adam's apple bobbing as he said earnestly, "I get to eat at the same table with Miss again."
"..."
Qu Qingli pursed her lips and ignored him.
After finishing the meal.
Chi Yingzhou was sent back to his bedroom to rest by Qu Qingli.
Dr. Lin said he was too weak and needed to rest for at least two days.
Chi Yingzhou lay obediently in bed as Dr. Lin re-administered the IV drip to him.
When Qu Qingli returned to the bedroom, Dr. Lin had already disappeared.
The IV drip needs to be changed midway through, so you have to keep a close eye on it.
Okay.
She has an obligation to take care of anyone who falls ill while working on her project.
"Go to sleep." Qu Qingli moved a chair over and sat down next to her. "I'll watch the medicine."
“It will be very tiring.” Chi Yingzhou looked at her stomach, his brows furrowed. “I’ll call Assistant Zhou back.”
"Assistant Zhou said he had some documents to process and went back first."
"Dr. Lin..."
"Him?" Qu Qingli sneered. "He left a note saying that his dog was about to have a second litter and he had to go back to help deliver the puppies."
"..."
Chi Yingzhou was speechless; he didn't know when to play peacemaker.
Why did they let Ali, a pregnant woman, take care of her for so long?
What were you thinking?!
"Come up and lie down with me for a while." Chi Yingzhou moved to the side.
She was pregnant and looked quite tired.
"I'm not sleepy."
Qu Qingli refused and sat down next to him, falling asleep without anyone noticing.
Pregnant women really do sleep a lot!
Chi Yingzhou was helpless; in reality, he had no other options.
He got out of bed, picked the person up with one hand, and gently placed them on the bed.
Qu Qingli opened her eyes briefly midway through, perhaps not being able to distinguish between reality and a dream.
After muttering, "Chi Yingzhou, it's you again."
I closed my eyes and fell asleep again.
The two were very close, and Chi Yingzhou gently placed his palm on her stomach.
The little one felt its father's warmth and gently wriggled.
It's been five months...
For the first time, Chi Yingzhou truly felt the presence of a child.
"Son, from now on, you and Dad will protect Mom together, okay?"
The little guy moved again.
"Good boy/girl."
Chi Yingzhou smiled with satisfaction and leaned down to kiss Qu Qingli's forehead.
He hugged her even tighter.
——
I don't know how long I slept.
Qu Qingli suddenly woke up and subconsciously looked at the medicine bottle.
Chi Yingzhou has finished the IV infusion, the needle has been removed, and only the indwelling needle remains.
Wasn't she sitting in a chair? How did she get onto the bed?
It's highly likely that Chi Yingzhou carried her up here!
She gained some weight after becoming pregnant.
Chi Yingzhou was on an IV drip and still dared to hug her; he's really courting death!
Qu Qingli turned her head and looked at the man beside her.
Chi Yingzhou rested his cheek on her chest, his hand on her stomach, and slept soundly.
Qu Qingli stared at his gaunt face, then recalled Assistant Zhou's words:
"The governor plans to commit suicide once you and Liang Mu have gone abroad!"
"The governor has loved you unconditionally for over ten years!"
"He can't live without you!"
"..."
Qu Qingli gently traced the man's outline, a surge of impulse welling up within her.
Forget the past, cherish the people in front of you.
perhaps.
She can give it a try.
Since Chi Yingzhou would die if he left her, he might as well stay!
——
There will be more updates.
