940 Family Affection Is Gone, but Love Remains (Part 2)
Qiqi just listened to Qiyu's accusation quietly without saying anything. Qiyu felt inexplicably bitter, and tears flowed from her eyes, "I blame you, it's true. But, compared to blaming you for being with Tang Jue, I blame you for not caring about my feelings at all, and for not treating me as your own sister. But... even so, Qiqi, I never thought of killing you..."
"Yuan Li just said that he wanted to use you to make connections. I was deceived by him. If I knew he wanted to kidnap you and hurt you..." Qiyu's tears flowed more and more, "I wouldn't do it. Definitely not."
She was jealous and resentful. But she was not so crazy that she hoped she would be kidnapped and killed by bad guys.
She couldn't bear to hurt someone's life. So, when she knew that her father was a murderer, her world seemed to collapse, and she couldn't bear it.
Qiqi never said anything else. She believed Qiyu's words. She believed her just because she was ignorant.
This is the best way...
"Qiqi, auntie came here today, first to apologize to you. Second..." Jiang Shao paused for a moment, and suddenly knelt down beside the bed with a "thump". Qiqi was not surprised by their pleading, but she was surprised by Jiang Shao's kneeling. This kneeling was unfamiliar, and also the departure of family affection. Qiqi felt like a needle piercing her heart, but she didn't say anything.
"Your uncle is already a seriously ill person, Qiqi, please... let him go once. Once he goes to prison, his body will never be saved..."
Qiqi's eyes were full of tears, "Auntie, now everything is a foregone conclusion, Tang Jue has submitted the evidence, there is no hope..."
What's more, how can she save him? If she lets them go, who will come to comfort her tragically dead father?
When Jiang Shao heard this, her body collapsed, her face turned pale, and she almost fainted.
"Mom." Qiyu squatted down and hugged Jiang Shao. With lips pressed against Jiang Shao's face, he pleaded and murmured with tears in his voice: "Mom, Dad is already like this, you must not be in trouble... You must not be in trouble..."
Qiqi looked at the scene in front of her with some envy. At least, they are not alone. They still have each other...
The feeling of loneliness of being the only one left in the world, those who have not truly experienced it will never be able to empathize.
It's like standing in a dead end, you can clearly see, but someone has taken away the light above your head inch by inch, and there is only darkness without light, despair and confusion.
"Jian Qing,
Take them away." The door was pushed open, and Tang Jue ordered.
Jian Qing said "um", and after a gesture, someone came in and took Jiang Shao and her daughter away.
————
The ward fell into silence again.
Qiqi curled up on the bed, her tears wet the pillowcase. If you say it doesn't hurt, you are lying. How can the withdrawal of family affection not hurt?
Tang Jue lay on the bed with clothes on, and hugged her from behind.
"Good, baby, don't cry... I'm here." Tang Jue's voice was very soft, and she was more gentle than ever before.
Qiqi held his hand tightly and pressed it against her chest. Tang Jue could feel the thumping heartbeat there, and could also clearly feel her despair.
"Tang Tang..." Qiqi called him.
She rarely called herself like this. Tang Jue leaned closer, and his lips pressed against her earlobe from behind, "Hmm?"
"From now on... I really only have you..." Apart from him, I have nothing.
"I'm honored to have you all to myself."
Qiqi smiled bitterly.
The next moment, she heard him speak earnestly: "Qiqi, let's get married."
Qiqi's eyelashes trembled, and her nose became sore again. She didn't say yes or no, but just turned over and buried herself deeply in his arms, listening to his heartbeat.
————
Qiqi became more dependent on Tang Jue. Or maybe, after this incident, she felt even less secure.
When she opened her eyes in the morning, the first thing she did was to look for him. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him shaving in the bathroom.
For more than a month, even breakfast was very rich on the table. Not to mention lunch and dinner.
Tang Song personally prepared a nutritious menu, with all kinds of nutritious soups to replenish the body. Qiqi had to drink it even if she didn't want to. Tang Jue doted on her, but when he was domineering, he was often unreasonable.
In the morning, it was milk and chicken soup again.
"Mengmeng said I've gained a lot of weight in the past month." Qiqi looked at Tang Jue pleadingly and asked flatteringly, "Can I just drink a glass of milk?"
"Where are you fat?" Tang Jue pinched her arm with one hand, "Drink it quickly."
The implication was, no!
That's right. In his eyes, she would be better if she was fatter.
"It works if you drink it. Sister-in-law, didn't your colleagues praise you for looking better and more beautiful recently?" Tang Song yawned and came out of the room. Since that incident, he was urgently summoned back to nourish Qiqi. Of course, there was another big reason why he was willing to come back because...
A woman's figure flashed in his mind. But soon, he was upset and threw the figure away. He pulled out a chair and sat down in front of Qiqi, smiling and said, "Sister-in-law, you can give birth to a baby for my third brother after you get well."
When it comes to babies, Qiqi smiled. She glanced at Tang Jue with a sidelong smile, and her face was shining. Since then, she has been obedient, drinking whatever is available, and never said a word of refusal.
She wants a child.
She wants a child with Tang Jue.
She wants it very much.
She was willing to devote all her love to her child and would never let her child be lonely like herself.
At night, when Tang Jue entered the room, he saw Qiqi sitting on the bed fiddling with her phone. The medicine was still on the bedside, untouched. The water was placed aside and had already cooled down.
"Are you looking at your new photos again?" Tang Jue lifted the quilt and lay on his side. With one hand behind his head, he squinted at her seductively, "Baby, come here."
Qiqi lay on his chest. Tang Jue lifted her scattered hair and glanced at the pills on the bedside, "Why didn't you take them?"
Qiqi didn't answer, but just handed the phone to her. Tang Jue took a look and saw that she was fiddling with an app, colorful, with many tables and words.
"What?"
"To measure the date."
"What date?"
Qiqi's cheeks were flushed, "Ovulation period."
Tang Jue understood. He was a little annoyed with Tang Song. Why did he mention the child for no reason?
Qiqi saw that he hadn't spoken for a while, so she lowered her head and looked at him with some disappointment, "Don't you want a child?"
Tang Jue combed her hair, "It won't be too late to have a child after we get married. It's not easy to have you all to myself, and it's better to live in a world of two people, isn't it?"
