Si Yuanqi turned his head and looked through the light from the corridor. His eyes were like the tiny stars in the night sky. "Bao'er..."
Tao Bao regained his dazed mind, walked over, and stood in front of him, slightly looking up.
Si Yuanqi's face was still pale, and he asked helplessly, "Aren't you ready for your injury? Why are you running here instead of lying down in the hospital?"
"You didn't?"
"You came here to see if I'm okay? You didn't answer my calls or text messages. Don't you know what I'm thinking? You understand me." Tao Bao looked at him calmly. "Si Yuanqi, what should I do with you?"
"I'm sorry to trouble you..." Si Yuanqi said, "If you don't have it, forget it."
After saying that, he left.
However, he waited here for a long time, leaning against the wall without changing his posture. When he exerted force, his abdomen hurt. He supported himself on the wall with one hand, groaned, and his face became paler!
"Si Yuanqi..." Tao Bao supported him, feeling upset. "How are you?"
Si Yuanqi was speechless and just shook his head.
Tao Bao didn't know how long he had been standing here, his body definitely couldn't take it!
"Let me help you into the room first," Tao Bao said.
He opened the door with the key, helped Si Yuanqi into the house, and closed the door.
Let Si Yuanqi sit on the sofa, "You can take a rest before leaving."
Tao Bao turned around and poured a cup of hot water for Si Yuanqi. Looking at his pale face, even his lips had lost their original color. He looked more miserable than she had ever seen him.
Si Yuanqi drank some hot water. Tao Bao asked, "How are you now? Is it serious? If not, I'll call an ambulance!"
"Why do we need an ambulance..." Si Yuanqi smiled bitterly.
"How did you get here?" Tao Bao asked. Seeing Si Yuanqi didn't say anything, he couldn't believe it. "You drove here by yourself? Si Yuanqi, do you still want to get better? Are you going to die?"
Si Yuanqi raised his eyes and looked at her, "It's okay."
Tao Bao was so confused by his "it doesn't matter" that she didn't know how to respond. If his life didn't matter, what else did matter? Was it... her?
Just because you want to see if she has any, you run here without caring about your own health?
"Si Yuanqi, Si Minghan won't do anything to me. I'm Xiaozhi's mother, and no matter how angry he is, he will always take the child into consideration," Tao Bao told him. "If I hadn't always gone against him, I'd have been reborn countless times!"
Si Yuanqi looked around the room. "Have you always lived here alone?"
"Well, it's Aunt Qiu's house. She has no relatives." Tao Bao sat cross-legged on the foam board.
Si Yuanqi looked at her sitting posture, his expression warming. "Didn't I tell you that girls shouldn't sit like this, or it would give me bad thoughts?"
"..." Tao Bao's face froze, and he couldn't help but blush. He squinted his eyes and put his legs together, clasping them with his hands. He immediately changed the subject to ease the awkward atmosphere. "How are your injuries? Are your ribs...serious?"
"Two of them are broken."
Tao Bao's heart sank and she bit her lips tightly. She knew it wouldn't be good. Si Minghan's fist was so hard!
"Then you shouldn't come to me. You should know Si Minghan better than me..." Tao Bao said.
"Give me a reason..."
"What's the reason?"
"Don't make excuses."
Tao Bao turned his head and looked across the balcony at the dark night.
The reason? Her reason was that she didn't want Si Yuanqi to be harmed by Si Minghan, and she wanted him to find his own happiness...
But can you say such words? The more you say it, the more Si Yuanqi can't get out of it!
"I... have fallen in love with Si Minghan." Tao Bao's low voice seemed to be spoken to himself, but in the silent room, it suddenly hit Si Yuanqi's heart hard.
"What did you say?" Si Yuanqi stood up and rushed towards Tao Bao, kneeling in front of her on one knee and holding her face. "You are lying! Look at me!"
Tao Bao and Si Yuanqi looked at each other, "I like Si Minghan, so it's impossible for me to be with you..."
"How could you possibly like him? What is it about Si Minghan that you would like?"
"I don't know. Feelings like this come unexpectedly. Maybe it's because I'm with him so often and have developed feelings for him over time. Or maybe he's the father of my children, and I just want my children to have a complete family when they are young..."
"Si Minghan will never give you a complete family!" Si Yuanqi almost growled, his voice trembling violently! "You can like anyone, but you can't like him, understand!"
Tao Bao's eyes trembled slightly. Everyone around her was telling her not to be wishful thinking and not to have a relationship with Si Minghan... Even if they just wanted Si Yuanqi to give up, her heart tightened when she heard it.
"I know, so I just said 'hope'. Do you want me to be with you while I still like Si Minghan? Si Yuanqi, you know me, I won't do that..." Tao Bao said.
Si Yuanqi's hands, which were holding her face, were shaking with restraint. "I don't believe you like him. It's impossible!"
"Si Yuanqi, we've already passed the time! Forget it..." Tao Bao pushed Si Yuanqi away and stood up to get his phone. "I'll call Qin Yue and ask her to pick you up..."
"I have nothing to do with her!" Si Yuanqi sat dejectedly on the foam board, "Don't call her, I don't need..."
Tao Bao turned around to look at him, and Si Yuanqi's face was even paler than before.
He couldn't bear it, but he couldn't stay here!
"Yes! You will cause trouble to me here! Si Minghan will not let you go, nor will he let me go! Si Yuanqi, don't you understand yet?" Tao Bao was so angry that he lost his calm!
"Heh..." Si Yuanqi chuckled, mocking himself. He felt embarrassed, and all his self-esteem was gone.
Seeing this, Tao Bao's eyes became hot. "Si Yuanqi, what do you want me to do? How can I give up the child for you? Even if I really do that, I will live in guilt and pain for the rest of my life! Is this what you want? If so, I can go with you now!"
Si Yuanqi remained silent, his entire body seemingly bathed in darkness, unable to extricate himself...
Tao Bao's phone rang, bringing her back to reality. She froze when she saw the incoming call. It was Si Minghan...
At this moment, Si Minghan was sitting in the office of KING Group, holding his mobile phone in one hand and putting on his suit jacket in the other.
After a few rings, the call was connected. Si Minghan's deep voice penetrated the room, "Busy?"
"not busy."
"I'll pick you up from here. Do you want anything to eat?"
"Do you think I'm a child?" Tao Bao asked. "I'm not at the TV station anymore. I'm at my apartment."
She couldn't even lie. Looking at the security guard at the gate of the complex, he must have been monitoring her for Si Minghan for a long time! She just didn't know when it started.
And the driver.
Such a lie can be easily exposed. Even Tao Bao himself cannot convince himself, not to mention that the person he is facing is Si Minghan!
