A nurse hurriedly followed Shen Mubei. “Mr. Shen, right? I met a patient called Xiao Qing just now. She asked me to pa.s.s this to you.”
“Where is she?”
“She was standing there just now. She’s gone now.” The nurse pointed in that direction.
Shen Mubei looked at the empty place, and his heart felt empty. He held the brocade box tightly.
The box contained the necklace he had chosen. It was a wedding gift for her.
She said that she wanted Qiao Weiyang to design the wedding ring and wedding dress, so he had no time to work on the two most important things. He could only buy this necklace for her.
However… she did not want to marry him. Even with the child, she didn’t like the idea of it.
How ironic!
When Qiao Weiyang and Su Zhuoqian drove to the hospital, it had already started to rain.
They had just parked her car when they saw Xiao Qing running out in the rain toward her own car.
“I’ll go over and take a look,” Qiao Weiyang said. Seeing the worry on Su Zhuoqian’s face, she said, “I’ll settle Xiao Qing’s matter. It’s inconvenient with you around. Trust me.”
Su Zhuoqian let go and opened the car door for her.
Qiao Weiyang rushed over with an umbrella and knocked on Xiao Qing’s car door.
When Xiao Qing saw that it was Qiao Weiyang, she opened the car lock.
Qiao Weiyang got into the car and said angrily, “Xiao Qing, look at yourself. Do you know what kind of situation you’re in? Why did you run to your car in the rain?”
“Weiyang…” Xiao Qing’s voice was hoa.r.s.e. “I’m just too uncomfortable.”
“No matter how uncomfortable you are, you can’t joke around when it comes to your health.” Qiao Weiyang found a towel and wrapped it around her head. She wiped the rain off her head somewhat aggressively. In the end, Qiao Weiyang still turned gentle. “Xiao Qing, no matter what, don’t hurt yourself.”
“Shen Mubei came over,” Xiao Qing said nasally. “He came to see Zhao Xinshu’s mother. She got into a car accident. Then, he came to see me and found out that I had aborted the child. He didn’t ask me why and immediately reprimanded me.”
Qiao Weiyang now understood why Xiao Qing had broken down.
She loved Shen Mubei too much. She loved him to the bone, but because she did not get all his love, she found it hard to accept. Coupled with her strong sense of morality, her pain was obviously stronger than others.
Qiao Weiyang slowly wiped her hair. She knew that what Xiao Qing needed at this moment was not admonishment, but a confession from Shen Mubei.
“I also think that this is quite good. We don’t have a child anymore, so we don’t have to be tied to each other like this. He can return to Zhao Xinshu’s side and be with her. I don’t have to be condemned by my conscience, and I don’t have to be forced to get what I can’t get for this child.”
“Well, that’s good. Don’t be too sad.” Qiao Weiyang could only go along with her words.
However, how could she not know how much Xiao Qing could not bear to part with Shen Mubei? She had loved him for so long. How could she let it go so easily?
To let go of him in such a painful way was undoubtedly to cut away all her past memories and all the feelings she had given him.
Qiao Weiyang could understand Xiao Qing’s feelings and her pain.
However, the price Xiao Qing had to pay was too painful.
“I want to go for a ride,” Xiao Qing said.
“Okay, I’ll accompany you.” Qiao Weiyang didn’t refuse.
Xiao Qing drove the car out.
The rain got heavier and heavier, and the visibility on the road was not high. However, Qiao Weiyang did not say anything. If Xiao Qing did not vent out the frustrations in her heart, she was afraid that something would happen to Xiao Qing.
At most, she would risk her life to accompany her.
Xiao Qing’s car was getting faster and faster. Fortunately, Qiao Weiyang would occasionally help her stabilize the car and even remind her to avoid other cars on the road.
The car drove all the way to the suburbs.
Xiao Qing was exhausted. Her hands were trembling as she held the steering wheel.
“Qing Qing, let me do it. This isn’t good for you and others,” Qiao Weiyang said in a low voice.
Xiao Qing looked at her weakly and switched places with her.
After Qiao Weiyang took control of the steering wheel, it was obvious that the car was driving much more steadily. The rain and wind were strong, but she finally parked the car successfully in Xiao Qing’s neighborhood.
“Do you want to go on another ride?” Qiao Weiyang asked.
Xiao Qing slowly recovered from her hysteria and said apologetically, “No.”
“Do you want to go home? If you don’t want to, I’ll drive you to my apartment. It’s been redecorated and is livable.”
Xiao Qing forced a smile. “I won’t go over for the time being. I have to face all of this. Weiyang, I’ll go back and have a good talk with my mother. It’s better for her to hear this from me than from other people.”
“Okay. Then you go up. Give me a call after you’re done talking.” Qiao Weiyang took the umbrella and sent her through the building’s door, watching her go upstairs.
Rain pattered on the umbrella.
Qiao Weiyang felt that the rain above her had lessened. She looked up and saw Su Zhuoqian standing beside her. Her thoughts were on Xiao Qing just now, and she did not notice Su Zhuoqian coming over.
She had not contacted him in the process, and now that he was standing here, it could only mean one thing. He had been following her and Xiao Qing just now.
An indescribable feeling of grat.i.tude and guilt filled Qiao Weiyang’s eyes. “It’s raining so heavily. Why didn’t you stay in the hospital and wait for me?”
“I was worried about you,” Su Zhuoqian said softly. He took her umbrella and put it away. Then, they got under the umbrella in his hand together and entered the car.
Qiao Weiyang’s eyes were a little moist. He was worried about her, but he did not rush her, nor did he call her to say anything else to her. He just followed her silently.
She could clearly feel his respect and love for her.
Qiao Weiyang pounced over, grabbed his tie, and bit his Adam’s apple.
Su Zhuoqian hugged her waist and felt the beauty of the moment.
About an hour later, Xiao Qing called. “Weiyang, I’ve already told my mother. Thank you for today. Rest early.”
Qiao Weiyang could tell that she had spent a lot of effort communicating with Mrs. Xiao. She should be very tired now.
“You should rest early too. Don’t think about the past anymore,” Qiao Weiyang comforted her softly.
After returning to Zhuojing Villa with Su Zhuoqian, Qiao Weiyang’s fatigue gradually washed away.
The next day, Song Hanzhi called her.
“I’ve already checked Xiao Qing’s embryo. It should indeed be a miscarriage caused by congenital deficiency. There’s actually no point in keeping such an embryo. Fortunately, Xiao Qing and Shen Mubei don’t have any other genetic problems. It won’t be a problem for them to have children in the future. This time, there’s a high chance that it’s as you said—the root cause was because they had the child while drunk.”
