"Who do you want to be with?" Gong Chengjue narrowed his eyes; her words angered him.
"I don't know, but it certainly won't be you." Su Ziqing lowered her eyes. "Take care."
Then she turned and left.
"Ziqing, stop." This shouldn't have happened.
"Do you know what I was thinking when I was on the verge of death in the jungle?" Gong Chengjue gasped for breath before he could speak smoothly.
"I'm thinking about you, I'm thinking about the reason I broke up with you that I haven't explained yet, I'm thinking about..."
"Gong Chengjue, none of this matters." Su Ziqing interrupted his explanation calmly, afraid that if she listened for even a second longer, she would soften her heart.
He's done so much, even almost risked his life, we can't just give up halfway.
He was going to continue until... the Gong family achieved true peace.
She should no longer be included in their arena, nor should she become his weakness.
These are things I can't say to him, just like when he insisted on breaking up with her, I couldn't tell him the real reason.
And the best reason to convince someone of a cause is one that is not quite right or wrong.
She couldn't be as cold as Gong Chengjue had been back then. At this moment, she could only turn her back to him, interrupt his explanation, and pretend to be indifferent.
"The important thing is, you broke up with me. I tried to win you back, have you forgotten?" Su Ziqing sighed softly. "I've said it before, you started it, so it's my turn to end it. Now, I'm solemnly informing you, we're over!"
She paused briefly before speaking, her words so clear and distinct that there was no chance of anyone misunderstanding.
Silence finally came from behind.
Gong Chengjue stopped speaking.
I don't know if I accepted her explanation or for some other reason.
Su Ziqing didn't turn her head to look, so she couldn't see that Gong Chengjue's body was about to give way.
She strode away from the ward, step by step, without looking back.
Gong Changfan, who was outside the ward, did not eavesdrop on their conversation, but seeing that Su Ziqing came out so quickly and her face was not good, he wondered if they had not reached an agreement.
Isn't it normal for young people to argue, fight, and break up?
Breakups and makeups are inevitable; everyone has been young once.
“Miss Su…” Gong Changfan called softly.
Tears welled up in Su Ziqing's eyes, but she held them back, her voice trembling, but she still said, "Go see him, he's not doing well."
Then, without saying another word, she walked away.
Gu Mingyin pretended to come out of Gong Chengkun's ward and called out to Su Ziqing, who was passing by, "Ziqing..."
Su Ziqing did not respond.
She waited for the elevator, and then she saw Lu Linghong sitting in a wheelchair inside. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Lu Linghong didn't say anything, and as she stepped into the elevator, she had Lu Beibei press the close button.
The hospital elevator space is actually quite large, but it can feel oppressive.
Su Ziqing wasn't about to cry uncontrollably like a little girl. She took out a tissue from her bag, gently wiped away her tears, and offered no explanation, nor did she want to.
"Senior brother, what are you doing here?" Did you come to see Gong Chengjue? When did their relationship become so good?
Lu Linghong gave her a deep look. "Beibei said she saw you."
Lu Beibei, trying to make herself less noticeable: "..." Big brother, you probably don't know how unpleasant my relationship with Miss Su was while you were asleep.
Su Ziqing responded with an "oh".
Exhausted from the day, Su Ziqing finally couldn't hold on any longer. She braced herself heavily on the handlebars of her wheelchair to steady herself.
"Ziqing!!"
"Su Ziqing, don't mess with my brother."
Lu Linghong and Lu Beibei's voices rang out at the same time.
Su Ziqing smiled slightly and looked at Lu Beibei, "Yes, I know."
"Beibei, what are you saying?" Lu Linghong glared at his younger sister.
Lu Beibei, however, had her own principles: "You are a patient now!"
Lu Linghong ignored her and looked at Su Ziqing with concern, "How do you feel?"
"Ugh. Tired." Su Ziqing uttered two words, then forced a smile. "I want to rest."
……………………
Gong Changfan had already entered when he heard Su Ziqing say that Gong Chengjue was not in good condition. He barely managed to catch Gong Chengjue, who was about to faint, and cried out, "Chengjue!!"
Gong Chengjue has a fever again. The doctor said that he is prone to recurring fevers and needs to be taken very seriously.
While sending someone to fetch the doctor, they helped him back to bed.
Seeing that his forehead was soaked with cold sweat, Gong Changfan couldn't help but say, "The doctor said you can't get out of bed in your condition. You're still getting out of bed, and the wound has reopened."
He saw the blood staining his hospital gown.
Gong Chengjue ignored him and just stared at the ceiling.
He thought that after everything was over and he explained, she would understand and forgive him...
However, she said that she understood him and knew his good intentions, but she would not forgive him.
"Uncle, she won't forgive me," Gong Chengjue said in a low voice.
Gong Changfan didn't hear clearly, "What?"
Gong Chengjue chuckled softly and closed his tired eyes. "I forgot, she's actually not easy to coax at all."
"What do you mean by coaxing? Girls need to be coaxed. We'll coax you slowly when you're better." Gong Changfan still didn't hear what Gong Chengjue said clearly, but guessed that he and Su Ziqing must have had a fight.
That Su Ziqing is really something. Cheng Jue is already like this, and she still manages to upset him...
"Send someone to take Ziqing back to rest. She needs to rest well and recover in her current condition." Gong Chengjue opened his eyes. Although he felt unwell, he was still thinking about Su Ziqing.
"Could I trouble you, Auntie?" He didn't trust anyone else, and Gu Mingyin was directly removed from his list of considerations.
"Alright, alright, don't worry about that now, take care of your health first." The doctor arrived, and Gong Changfan told the doctor to quickly examine Gong Chengjue.
When he heard the doctor say that Gong Chengjue's wounds had reopened, he felt sorry for Gong Chengjue.
"Let's go now," Gong Chengjue insisted.
"Fine, fine, I'm scared of you." It's true that children are all debts. He has no children, so he'll find a nephew to pay off his debts.
Gong Changfan instructed the bodyguards that Su Ziqing should return the two bodyguards he had given her when she went back to the capital with him.
But at this point, the person shouldn't have gone far yet?
But what they heard was that Su Ziqing hadn't left; she had gone to Lu Linghong's place...
Gong Changfan thought it best not to tell Gong Chengjue this news.
…………………
Su Ziqing did need rest. She didn't return to City A, but went back to her home in the capital. However, she refused all the help from the Gong family, but she couldn't stop Xiang Liyi from bringing her tonics to her home every day.
