190 Family vs Love (7)
What a simple five-word sentence, but it Qi Yuxuan repeated over and over again, hitting it countless times.
His mind wandered back to the ward.
The Old Xu lying on the bed had a yellow face, a breathing apparatus inserted in his mouth, and a heart pulse on his body. When he heard the beeping machine, Qi Yuxuan's resentment towards Old Xu disappeared.
This time, he didn't dare to leave so easily. He was afraid that after he left, his grandfather would n' t be able to see another person and something unexpected would happen.
He decided to stay by the bed and wait for his only grandfather to wake up.
Inform his secretary, Xiao Li, to bring over the documents and some articles for daily use.
Qi Yuxuan efficiency was very high, just when Xiao Li wasn't there. He even interviewed a few nurses in the ward.
Perhaps Qi Yuxuan was too picky and the few nurses in the interview failed to satisfy him.
When Xiao Li arrived, he first instructed Xiao Li to find a few more reliable guards.
Suddenly, he thought of a suitable candidate. He called back Xiao Li, who was about to leave, and told him the person he had in mind to bring him over as soon as possible.
Qi Yuxuan buried himself in his work and finished half of the work. He raised his head and shook his neck a few times. Then, he stretched and moved his exhausted limbs.
He got up and walked to the bed, tucked in the blanket that Old Xu was covering.
"Grandfather, hurry up and wake up. Otherwise, your grandson's wife will run away. Your grandson will have no choice but to be single."
After saying that, Qi Yuxuan returned to his original seat. He didn't continue working. Instead, he took out his phone and opened the screen.
Unfortunately, there wasn't a single unread message.
He sighed helplessly. Then, he called Xiao Li and instructed her to take back the documents that had been processed.
In the hospital ward, a video conference was held.
He closed his laptop and it was already ten o'clock in the evening. He walked to the bed again and reached out to touch Old Xu forehead. Fortunately, he did not have a fever.
As long as he survived this night, Old Xu would be considered to be out of danger.
This scene couldn't help but remind Qi Yuxuan of her youth. At that time, every time he got sick and had a fever, his grandfather would always stay by his side, afraid that he would lose something.
And how did he repay his grandfather?
He let out a long sigh and could not help but blame himself in his heart.
If he had known about his grandfather and father, he would have worked together to scheme against him. It wasn't to escape, but to patiently explain to his grandfather. According to his grandfather's love for him, it was impossible for him to make things difficult for Xiao Qing. It was even more unlikely that so many things would happen later.
It wasn't all his grandfather's fault that things had happened to this extent. He Qi Yuxuan had an unshirkable responsibility.
"Grandfather, you must get better quickly."
Su Xunqing didn't want to leave at first. She walked to the bathroom and cleaned the tears on her face before turning back.
At this moment, the phone rang. Su Xunqing glanced at the incoming call and his pupils constricted. After a moment of hesitation, he answered the call.
"Hello."
"I heard from Ning Ning that she saved you."
"Yes."
There was a moment of silence on both ends of the phone. She suggested," I have something else to do. How about I hang up first?"
"Don't... "Don't hang up. Where are you? I' ll go find you."
"Alright, I'll send you the address."
Su Xunqing naturally didn't plan on letting Xia Shize come to the hospital. Who knew what would happen if the two men met.
So, after some thought, he casually reported it to a dessert shop near the hospital.
When she came out of the bathroom, she was like a thief who had committed a crime. First, he poked out a little bit of his head and glanced at the Qi Yuxuan sitting in the chair. Then, he quickly left and fled towards the elevator.
Previously, on the Qi Yuxuan sports car, the Su Xunqing who pretended to look at the scenery caught a glimpse of a dessert shop.
The words "go to the Worry Room" seemed to be very eye-catching. It sounded more like the name of a laundry, so it was still fresh in her memory.
He walked along the path in his memory and headed towards his destination. He didn't expect that the store was n' t as close to the hospital as he thought.
This made her regret her decision. It seemed like he might as well find a nearby shop.
Walking so far, his legs were so sore!
When she found the shop, her face was already covered in sweat. She thought angrily. She was probably a little cat again.
He did not know how long it would take Xia Shize to arrive. Su Xunqing ordered only one serving of mango-flavored ice cream, then found a seat by the window and sat down.
Not long after she sat down, the ice cream was brought over.
Her gaze fell on the passers-by outside the window. She didn't want to take the spoon and dig a mouthful of ice cream into her mouth.
A smiling male voice suddenly came from behind." Xiao Qing, you're really a foodie."
At that moment, the phone rang and footsteps came from behind.
Su Xunqing heart suddenly tightened and an inexplicable panic and fear rose. She refused to answer the phone and quickly organized a reasonable excuse in her mind.
Then she suddenly turned around and realized that Xia Shi Ze, who had been in the corner for an unknown amount of time, had already walked to her side.
He didn't know if he had been spying on her editor.
She suddenly placed her phone on the table and rebuked," Xia Shi Ze, since you're here, why do n' t you tell me!"
As for him, he didn't say anything and just smiled. He pulled Su Xunqing chair across from him and sat down." I do n' t think you're looking for me, so I' m embarrassed to come out."
"No, I thought you hadn't arrived yet!"
He looked at the ice cream and smiled at Su Xunqing. That expression clearly said," I don't believe it."
She reflexively grabbed the ice cream in her direction. When he realized this, his face turned red.
What was wrong with her? Why did she become so protective?
The smile on Xia Shi Ze's face grew stronger, and she could only bow her head in shame.
At this moment, he heard his voice and said," Waiter, please bring two more ice cream. Thank you."
She slowly raised her head and smiled awkwardly, trying to explain but not knowing what to say.
Soon, the waiter brought the two mango ice cream balls onto the tray.
Xia Shize stretched out his hand and pushed one of them in front of Su Xunqing. The other was placed in front of him and picked up a spoon to eat. 1
This made Su Xunqing feel even more ashamed.
"Wow, it's really delicious. Xiao Qing, the restaurant you chose is really delicious."
He seemed to have a point, but she could only hear one.
She couldn't help but smile awkwardly. She was saying that she was a glutton, right? Hmph.
Seeing that Su Xunqing didn't move, Xia Shi Ze said again," Xiao Qing, why do n' t you eat?" "If you don't eat it, I' ll eat it myself."
She hesitated for a moment before she saw Xia Shize scooping up a spoonful of ice cream to her lips.
"Eat it. It's really delicious."
Su Xunqing reflexively turned his head sideways." No need, thank you."
The scene was a little awkward for a moment, and he stretched forward again. She only felt a slight chill on the corner of her lips. Then, he put the spoon back into his mouth.
"By the way, why did you come to me?"
After speaking, Su Xunqing took out a tissue and wiped the ice cream on the corner of his mouth.
"Yes, it's about you being locked up in the IELTS mental hospital."
Her body suddenly stiffened, and then she stared unblinkingly at him.
"What do you know?"
