Chapter 98 He Wants Her to Hate Him
"Where is he?"
Qu Ge asked without turning his head.
The assistant paused and replied quietly, "He...is dead."
Upon hearing this, Qu Ge's whole body suddenly stiffened.
It was like an ice pick piercing her spine, causing her to tense up all the nerves in her body and even her breathing to stagnate in her chest.
"Dead?" She raised her head stiffly, asking for confirmation in disbelief.
The assistant nodded and handed her the envelope.
"Ten minutes ago, the police found his body by the canal. The initial conclusion is suicide. We found this letter where he fell into the river."
Qu Ge reached out his hand heavily and took the envelope.
The moment it was opened, a ring slipped out of the envelope.
This was the ring that Joshien used when he proposed to her for the first time, and she later threw it into the trash.
She didn't even know when he picked up the ring.
After hesitating for a moment, she opened the letter.
Qiao Xian is not good at long speeches.
There are only a few short sentences on the paper——
"I hope you're happy."
"But I can't stand you being with another man."
"Hate me?"
"Hate me."
"At least, you will never forget me."
Qiao Xuan...
That man was so selfish until his death!
He knew that she no longer loved him.
He also knew that after going through so much, she no longer hated him as much.
He is about to die.
After he dies, sooner or later, she will forget him.
He didn't want her to forget him.
So, he chose to kill her lover before he died!
He just wanted her to hate him, preferably to the core!
This way, she will remember him for the rest of her life...
Looking at these lines of handwriting that almost penetrated the back of the paper, Qu Ge clenched his teeth so hard that it hurt.
She suddenly crumpled the letter in her hand into a ball and trembled uncontrollably.
She rushed into the bathroom and locked the door.
The woman in the mirror had bloodshot eyes and her lips had been bitten by herself.
I turned on the faucet, and the long-suppressed sobs burst out mixed with the sound of running water.
She covered her mouth and squatted down, her shoulders shaking violently.
Under the cover of the sound of water, she finally allowed herself to break down briefly...
…
A few hours later.
The morning light fell into the ward through the gaps in the curtains.
Qu Ge frowned and became more nervous.
The doctor said that Rong Zhoubai only had one night left.
If he still hasn't woken up by dawn...
Suddenly, there was a faint tremor at the fingertips, which startled people.
Qu Ge quickly looked down——
Rong Zhubai's eyelids moved slightly, and the fingers that she held tightly in her hand also flicked in her palm!
Qu Ge's breathing stopped for a moment.
The next second, she stood up suddenly, not caring about the chair that was knocked over, and shouted urgently towards the door: "Doctor! He's awake... He's awake!"
Her voice was hoarse and tears of joy were rolling down her face uncontrollably.
Medical staff rushed in to check on her. She clenched her hands tightly, her palms pinched so hard with her nails that they hurt.
Until the attending doctor took off his stethoscope and said to her with a smile: "Congratulations! The patient has successfully passed the critical period and is no longer in danger of death!"
With a thud.
The person who hadn't slept all night slid down to the ground exhausted, tears already blurring everything in sight...
…
Half a month later.
Rong Zhubai was finally discharged from the hospital after recovering from his injuries.
The first thing he did after being discharged from the hospital was to prepare a romantic candlelight dinner for Qu Ge.
As soon as Qu Ge went downstairs, he smelled the aroma of food.
The candlelight flickered gently on the candlestick, lengthening the shadows of the two people on the ground.
"What day is it today? Why is it so grand?" Qu Ge raised his eyebrows.
Rong Zhoubai pulled out a chair for her: "Please sit down first. I have something to tell you."
"Um?"
This man always likes to be mysterious, and Qu Ge has long been accustomed to it.
She sat down and saw the shiny plate lid on the table was tightly closed, and she wondered what was hidden underneath.
"This is……"
"I remember you said that your favorite food is the tomato and egg noodles made by your mother."
Rong Zhoubai opened the lid of the dinner plate.
Inside, there was actually a bowl of steaming tomato and egg noodles!
Qu Ge's eyebrows widened in surprise: "Where did you find a chef who can cook this?"
During her time in Canada, she ate bread, steak and salad every day and almost vomited.
She thought Rong Zhoubai had specially visited the chef from Jiangzhou City, and she couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks to taste it.
However, Rong Zhoubai said, "I made this myself. I'm not very good at cooking, and it took me a long time to learn. It definitely won't taste as good as your mom's, but it should be edible."
"You did this yourself?!"
Qu Ge widened his eyes in surprise.
She really couldn't believe that this noble young man who had never touched housework could actually make such a delicious-looking bowl of tomato and egg noodles!
I felt a warm feeling in my heart.
She picked up the noodles carefully and put them into her mouth.
The familiar taste exploded in the taste buds, instantly making people's eyes red.
"How is it possible..."
The bowl of noodles in front of me tastes almost exactly the same as the ones made by Qu Shunzhi!
I don't understand the song.
After Qu Shunzhi passed away, she tried to make this bowl of noodles many times herself.
But she couldn't replicate the same taste every time.
Rong Zhoubai had clearly never eaten noodles made by Qu Shunzhi, so how could he possibly make them taste like this...
"I asked Mr. He to teach me." Rong Zhoubai explained.
"Is it him?"
Hearing this, Qu Ge was stunned for a moment, then he understood.
It turns out that this is not what Qu Shunzhi himself likes to eat.
But it’s the taste that He Qing likes.
Perhaps, when they were together, He Qing always made this dish for Qu Shunzhi.
After he left, she would cook this dish for herself again and again, recalling the taste that belonged to him...
Thinking of this, Qu Ge looked at the tomato and egg noodles in front of him, feeling a little melancholy.
At this time, Rong Zhubai suddenly took out a small brocade box from his arms.
He knelt on one knee and handed her a ring the size of a pigeon egg.
"Qu Ge, marry me, okay?"
"you……"
Qu Ge didn't expect Rong Zhoubai to propose to her so suddenly.
Although they have been through so much together, if you think about it, they have only known each other for a few months.
Just a few months of getting along can determine a lifetime relationship.
This was indeed a bit too fast for Qu Ge.
Rong Zhoubai could still easily see through her thoughts.
"I know we haven't been together for a long time. But, during this time, we've experienced life and death together. No one understands everything about me better than you."
"I didn't make this decision on impulse today. I thought a lot during this time lying in the hospital."
"Qu Ge, I really want to be with you."
Every word written by Rong Zhoubai is sincere.
This was the first time Qu Ge saw him so serious since he met him.
But she hesitated again and again and still didn't nod.
"I'm sorry, I can't promise you."
