Chapter 444: The Rural Woman in Power Coveted by the Rich and Powerful (8)
Qingwu already had such thoughts, and Yan Lili's words were like rubbing salt into her wounds.
At this moment, the contrast made by the stranger Yan Lili made the pain in Qingwu's heart even more obvious.
She couldn't help but think of every little thing between her and Gu Chenzhou. All the sweetness and warmth that once existed have now vanished into thin air.
Yan Lili was overwhelmed by a strong possessive desire. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that all this was Gu Chenzhou's fault. As a husband, he not only failed to protect his wife, but also let her be dragged into the dispute between him and his family.
In a wealthy family like the Gu family, only after going through a formal ancestor worship ceremony and having her name entered into the family tree can one be considered the true mistress of the Gu family.
However, Qingwu silently endured all this uneasiness and anxiety alone.
He now even feels that Gu Chenzhou himself should bear part of the responsibility for the car accident.
He clearly knew that he had a wife who needed protection, so he should have been extra cautious instead of just caring about himself and being indifferent.
He has a wife and daughter. What will happen to his wife and daughter if something happens to him?
Now, his negligence has caused Qingwu to be so sad...
Once this thought came into being, it grew rapidly and wildly like poison ivy, tightly wrapping around his heart and mercilessly strangling the last bit of guilt he had towards his uncle.
He also learned from his mother that Gu Chenzhou's wife was a woman who would do anything to get ahead, a rural woman who relied on her child to get ahead.
But now after meeting Qingwu, he realized that they were all wrong.
Qingwu's pair of peach blossom eyes that could squeeze out water, and her back that remained straight even when soaked by the rain, were completely inconsistent with the image of the scheming woman described by her mother.
Instead, she is more like an egret trapped in a canary cage, pure and innocent.
And what about Gu Chenzhou?
He began to suspect that with Gu Chenzhou's scheming and means, it was very likely that he had used some improper methods, such as robbery, coercion and inducement, to force Qingwu to marry him.
We are all thousand-year-old foxes, so why bother pretending to be like Liao Zhai?
His mother and grandmother may have had some filters for Gu Chenzhou, and only after he broke through these filters was he able to see some clues.
Otherwise, how could he have such a good wife?
I still don't know how to cherish...
The more Yan Lili thought about it, the more logical he felt. Every detail could confirm each other, as if this was the fact.
He even began to picture in his mind how Gu Chenzhou relied on his power and status to force Qing Wu to submit to him.
After such rational analysis and inference...
A crazy and absurd idea suddenly sprouted in Yan Lili's heart—
If Gu Chenzhou never wakes up, then it seems natural for him to replace his uncle and become the support of the mother and daughter.
It's not considered taking advantage of the situation.
......
When the Maybach stopped at the VIP channel of Yan's Hospital, the medical staff who had been waiting on the side saw it and quickly pushed the stretcher forward.
Yan Lili took a deep breath, calmed himself down, then bent down and carefully handed the treasure in his arms to the nurse.
His eyes never left Qingwu——
She was standing under the awning at the moment, wrapped only in a thin blanket and his coat. Her hair, wet by the rain, stuck to her cheeks, making her look a little messy.
When Yan Lili's suit cuff accidentally brushed against Qingwu's exposed arm, he clearly felt the coldness of that skin, like jade soaked in well water.
He had an idea and took off his cashmere suit and gently draped it over Qingwu's shoulders.
During this process, his fingertips slowly slid down along the curve of her shoulder blades, and finally paused for half a second on the soft flesh of her waist.
—— Feeling her body suddenly tense up and shiver like a frightened sparrow, Yan Lili's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible satisfaction.
"Come with me."
Qing Wu wanted to refuse his kindness. She opened her mouth, but stopped when she met Yan Lili's unquestionable gaze.
In the end, she could only follow Yan Lili silently into the pediatric emergency intensive care unit.
Through the glass, Qingwu saw the nurse putting a fever-reducing patch on Zhenbao. The little guy seemed a little uncomfortable, frowning and whimpering.
Qingwu's back looked particularly frail at this moment, like a leaf that could be blown away by the wind at any time, which made people feel pity for her.
Yan Lili's face was calm, and he calmly asked his assistant to quickly bring a cup of steaming ginger soup.
His fingertips tapped Qingwu's back twice. The action was a little awkward, but it contained a hint of soothing meaning.
"Don't worry, they are all top experts, the child will be fine."
When the doctor finally came out, Qingwu rushed forward immediately. Due to excessive tension and worry, her legs suddenly became weak, and she staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Yan Lili quickly supported her, and when he put his arms around her waist, he could clearly feel the slight trembling of her body.
"The child is fine. He just had a high fever caused by acute pneumonia, but the fever has subsided."
The experts who were urgently called in to work overtime were also speechless, thinking it was a big deal.
It turned out to be just a high fever caused by common acute pneumonia in children, and now the child's fever has subsided and he is fine.
If this wasn't the prince...
But why does the prince attach so much importance to this child?
and......
It was the first time that I saw a woman next to the aloof and unparalleled Yan Lili.
She's a woman with a child.
A thoughtful look flashed across the doctor's eyes.
The prince of the Yan family, who is known for his mysophobia, is now so out of control that it is really too eye-catching.
The originally straight suit was now wrinkled on the woman, the tie hung loosely around her neck, and there were unknown stains on the cuffs.
The doctor's words made Qing Wu relax instantly, and she subconsciously collapsed in the arms of Yan Lili beside her. Tears of relief burst out, soaking the shirt on his chest and leaving dark marks on the high-end custom-made fabric.
Yan Lili looked down at Qingwu in his arms. Her shoulders were trembling slightly because of crying.
He could smell the scent of rain and soapberries mixed in her hair. The faint fragrance lingered around his nose, making him a little intoxicated.
Qingwu in his arms was so warm and soft that Yan Lili's heart beat faster involuntarily.
An unprecedented sense of fulfillment surged in his heart, as if the frozen soil that had been barren for many years suddenly gushed out a gurgling spring, nourishing his dry heart.
Yan Lili lowered his head, gently sniffed the moisture in Qingwu's hair, and felt her trembling as she buried herself in his chest.
