In the dark, the atmosphere between them was sweet. Initially, Shen Qi wanted to ask him if he was going to tell her what was going on with him and Han Xueyou, but after being distracted by him, she had forgotten about it and squabbled with him for a while. Ye Moxuan touched the back of her head and said, “Well, pregnant women should rest early. We will chat later.”
Shen Qi also felt a little tired, so she closed her eyes groggily as she replied, “Alright.”
After a while, one of them started breathing evenly in the dark, and the other person followed suit as well.
The next day, when Ye Moxuan went to the company again, Shen Qi woke up in bed alone.
She should have been used to this.
But when she saw the empty bed, she was still a little disappointed.
Ye Moxuan seemed to be very busy, leaving early and returning late. Basically, the two of them could only chat for a bit at night.
Not long after Shen Qi woke up and freshened up, Han Xueyou called.
“Qi…” Han Xueyou’s voice was soft and weak, with a lack of power.
Hearing her voice, a lump was formed in Shen Qi’s throat involuntarily, and her eyes turned red in an instant. She didn’t answer her but just sat there quietly holding the phone.
Han Xueyou sighed heavily on the other end of the phone and said softly, “Are you angry with me because I didn’t want to see you yesterday? Or do you blame me? I’m sorry, Qi. I was really in a bad mood yesterday. I-I didn’t want to stay alive, but—”
“But what?” Shen Qi’s voice was cold. “But I saved you, so you blame me?”
“I-I’m sorry, Qi.” Han Xueyou whimpered and sobbed out loud. “Will you forgive me this time? I want to see you today. Can you come to the hospital to see me? I have a lot to tell you.”
“Go to the hospital to see you?” Shen Qi’s temper flared up, and she sneered. “Are you sure I won’t be turned away by you again?”
Do you know how much it hurt to hear you say that you didn’t want to see me yesterday?
“No, Qi. It was my fault yesterday. I promise you that it won’t happen again today. Will you come over today? If you don’t want to, just tell me where you are. I will come to you.”
With that, Han Xueyou actually got out of her bed directly. Shen Qi heard the sound on the other side of the phone and couldn’t bear her doing that. “Forget it and just lay on the bed. You are too weak now. After losing so much blood, where do you want to go when you’re supposed to be resting on the bed?”
Hearing that, Han Xueyou broke into a grin. “Qi, I know you still care about me. I’ll just wait for you here.”
After hanging up, Shen Qi glanced at the phone with mixed feelings. She was really too soft-hearted—she was persuaded by Han Xueyou simply by a few sentences.
Forget it. I’ll just visit her. After all, she almost lost her life this time.
Hearing that Shen Qi was going out, Zhu Yun and Mr. Jin followed her again.
It was quiet in the ward today; only Su Jiu accompanied Han Xueyou.
When Shen Qi knocked on the door, Su Jiu came to open it, and she looked a little surprised to see her. “Miss Shen, what are you doing here?”
Shen Qi nodded to Su Jiu as a greeting. But before she could even speak, she heard Han Xueyou’s voice coming from inside. “Secretary Su, let Qi come in. I want to talk to her alone. The rest of the people, please stay outside.”
Su Jiu was taken aback by her instructions, but she nodded clearly after a moment.
Then, she turned her body sideways. “Miss Shen, please.”
Zhu Yun wanted to follow along, but Shen Qi told her, “I also have something to tell her alone. Just wait for me outside. I will come out soon.”
Although Zhu Yun was a little worried, Han Xueyou was Shen Qi’s friend after all, so she didn’t think too much about it and nodded in agreement.
After Shen Qi entered, Su Jiu closed the door of the ward, and she then sat down beside Zhu Yun and Mr. Jin after greeting them.
It was quiet in the ward. After Shen Qi entered, she saw Han Xueyou sitting on the hospital bed pitifully, hugging her knees with both hands while looking at her.
“Qi, you are finally here…”
There was still a thick bandage on her wrist with some faint blood stains on it. It was obvious that her wounds had not fully recovered.
Shen Qi frowned. “Didn’t I tell you to lay down? Why are you sitting up?”
“I was waiting for you, Qi,” Han Xueyou answered with red eyes.
Shen Qi replied, “I told you that I will come today, didn’t I?”
She walked to the chair not far from the bed and sat down. Then, she pursed her lips and took a sharp breath. “So, what do you want to tell me?”
“I’m sorry…” Han Xueyou looked at her for a long while and suddenly bit her lower lip as she sobbed. “Qi, I’m sorry. Did I scare you yesterday or caused you any trouble?”
Shen Qi frowned and did not answer her.
“Actually, I have been thinking about suicide for a long time, but I have never acted on it because I was afraid. I was so afraid of pain, Qi. But… when I thought of you ignoring me, I felt uncomfortable. I think I really deserve to die. Ye Moxuan is obviously your husband, but I actually fell for the man you love.”
Hearing that, Shen Qi was moved by her. Is she regretting it and apologizing to me?
If that’s the case, should I forgive her?
Before having any more time to think about it, Shen Qi heard Han Xueyou continue, “Actually, I fell in love with Young Master Ye the first time I saw him. I couldn’t help myself after laying my eyes on him. As you could see later, I took the initiative to approach him on many occasions, and since he didn’t reject me, I was so glad. But do you know why I even dared to approach him, Qi? It was because I thought you would surely be together with the child’s father in the end, so I have never minded about my feelings for Young Master Ye, resulting in everything that has happened today.”
“Qi, originally, I didn’t want to let you know about this matter. I wanted to tell you in person after I have taken care of everything. But I didn’t expect you to know it so soon. I’m really sorry about it.”
Shen Qi asked, “So you chose to commit suicide and end your life like this?”
“I’m sorry.” Han Xueyou bit her lower lip tightly. “Qi, I’m really sorry, but I really love Young Master Ye. As long as I’m alive, I can’t bear watching him with another woman. So, I came to the conclusion that if I died, I would not separate you and him. But why did you save me?”
Shen Qi’s eyes became cold. “Didn’t you send me a message asking me to see you? You said that you had something to tell me. Xueyou, there are many men in the world, but why did you fall for Ye Moxuan?”
“What about you?” Han Xueyou raised her eyes and looked at Shen Qi with tears in her eyes. “You are pregnant with Ye Linhan’s child, so why are you holding onto Ye Moxuan? Do you think this is fair to Ye Moxuan?”
