Qiao Qiqi gritted her teeth and followed him into the kitchen. Seeing that dinner was ready, she went up to him and grabbed his shirt. "Can you give me a chance to explain?"
Qin Huai pulled his coat back up and said, "We can talk after dinner. Go inside and put the table down."
Qiao Qiqi frowned; she was someone who particularly disliked the silent treatment!
Back in modern times, her boyfriend would often give her the silent treatment, which was incredibly painful. So, the moment Qiao Qiqi decided to be with Qin Huai, she secretly resolved to resolve any issues on the spot.
Problems that cannot be resolved on the spot will absolutely not be left overnight!
In short, she must not repeat the same mistake.
I thought it was just a matter of a few words, and if we talked it out, the meal would be more enjoyable. But if we didn't clarify things, the meal would definitely feel unsettling...
"Give me three minutes, no, just two minutes, and I'll leave as soon as I'm done talking." Qiao Qiqi watched Qin Huai lift the pot lid. She wanted to stop him, but the man quickly propped the lid up in one corner and slammed the spatula around, clearly not wanting to hear her continue.
Qiao Qiqi didn't expect him to be so angry, so she decided not to explain for now and instead told him about how Fang Ke had persuaded Sun Shengli to take her and Xin Xin to Beijing for medical treatment.
Qin Huai paused for a moment before finally replying, "Chenchen has already told me."
Seeing that he was finally willing to talk to her, Qiao Qiqi immediately pressed her advantage: "At noon I..."
Qin Huai suddenly stood up.
Seeing that he seemed to be leaving, Qiao Qiqi immediately stepped forward and blocked his way.
"Even a death row inmate deserves a chance to defend himself, right? You can't just ignore me completely. If you don't listen to me, I'm going to cry."
Qin Huai frowned.
Seeing that she had gone to such lengths for Qin Huai, and even dared to try to force him to divorce her by crying, his heart ached more than if it were being stabbed with needles.
He couldn't imagine how heartbroken his parents would be if they knew he was divorced...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel guilty and regretted his impulsive marriage.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and finally made up his mind to say, "You don't need to explain, I understand..."
"You don't understand!" Qiao Qiqi saw that he was obviously wrong, so she immediately rushed up and threw herself into his arms, hugging his waist tightly.
Just then, Xin Xin appeared at the kitchen doorway. Seeing the two hugging, she immediately covered her mouth in surprise, laughing like a cat that had stolen some cream, and quickly turned and ran away.
When Qin Huai saw Xin Xin, he subconsciously reached out and put his hand on Qiao Qiqi's shoulder. "Let go, Xin Xin is watching."
Qiao Qiqi didn't turn around, but buried her head in her arms and said shamelessly, "Look if you want! I'm hugging my own husband, not some other man. Look all you want!"
"..." Qin Huai was already used to her unreasonable behavior, but when he heard her mention other men, his face still darkened, yet he was helpless against her.
Seeing that he finally stopped arguing, Qiao Qiqi lifted her head from the man's arms, looking somewhat aggrieved.
"I rode my bike almost all over the town today, but I still couldn't find you. My legs are still sore from exhaustion, and my knees hurt too. When I was riding my bike to town, I not only hurt my hands, but also my knees."
Qiao Qiqi became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and bent down to lift up her trouser leg, revealing her already bruised and purple knee to him.
It wasn't too serious when she fell, but after an afternoon, the bruise is now as big as her fist.
Qin Huai was startled. "Why didn't you say so when you were in the hospital?"
Seeing that he finally cared about her, Qiao Qiqi pouted, "At the time, I thought that since there was no broken skin, if I showed it to the nurse, she would definitely put medicine on it. I was afraid of the pain, and my leg didn't hurt at the time, so I didn't dare to say anything."
"..." Qin Huai had already witnessed her ability to avoid seeking medical treatment when she was in the hospital. She even forced the nurse to change the disinfectant to gentian violet. What else could he ask of her?
Qin Huai simply stopped talking and told her to stand there and wait. He went into the drawer in the house, took out the gentian violet, and then carried Qiao Qiqi to a chair in the yard. He lifted her trouser leg and applied the medicine to her.
Qiao Qiqi looked down and thought that this seemed to be useful for broken skin wounds. Hers was a sprain and contusion, so she should probably apply some wound medicine or Yunnan Baiyao.
Seeing how serious Qin Huai was, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
The commotion alerted Chenchen and Xinxin, who immediately rushed over upon seeing that Qiao Qiqi was injured.
Chenchen asked with a concerned look, "Sister, are you alright? Does it hurt?"
Qiao Qiqi felt a warmth in her heart, realizing that her love for these two little ones hadn't been in vain, and immediately smiled and said, "It just looks serious, but it doesn't hurt anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Huai lost control of his strength.
"Ouch!" Qiao Qiqi cried out in pain.
The slap in the face came too quickly. She immediately looked down at Qin Huai, seriously suspecting that the man had done it on purpose, but the man frowned and said, "Sorry, I lost my grip on the bottle."
Qiao Qiqi knew he definitely didn't mean it. Her eyes flashed, and she said to Chenchen, "Chenchen, take your sister back to the house first. Your brother Qin and I have a few words to say."
Chenchen obediently led Xinxin into the house.
After seeing this, Qiao Qiqi didn't need to force Qin Huai to listen this time, since she knew he definitely wouldn't run away now.
So he said directly, "Today, someone in the village brought me a message. He said that the Qin family boy was injured. I subconsciously thought it was you, so I rushed home, got on my bike and rode to town. On the way, I was so scared and lost my composure that I accidentally fell hard."
Qin Huai raised his eyes.
Qiao Qiqi started to feel wronged again, "When I got to the hospital, I pushed my way through the crowd to enter the ward, only to find Hou Yan and another person I didn't recognize inside. After asking around, I found out that the person I didn't recognize was also surnamed Qin and was related to you. The person who sent the message was him. I just didn't understand."
"So, you went to the hospital thinking I was the injured one, and that's why you came to find me?" Qin Huai understood, but was still somewhat unsure.
Qiao Qiqi rolled her eyes at him angrily when she realized that he was still asking her questions even though she had explained herself so clearly.
"Who else did you think it was? Could it be Hou Yan?!"
Qin Huai: "..."
Believe it or not, that's really what he thought.
After feeling down all afternoon, only to find it was all a misunderstanding, Hou Yan's feelings became... extremely complicated.
But at this moment, he was also happier than ever before.
It's as if I was previously bound by something, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable, but now, that thing that bound me has disappeared.
It gave him a feeling of having his clouds parted and the fog cleared.
