Shen Qi nodded. She didn’t want to collapse, or all her effort would have gone to waste.
So, she began to walk toward them. However, she fell forward uncontrollably after taking a few steps.
With a thud, Shen Qi fell directly onto the cold ground.
The rain fell onto her face and body, and soon, her dress was drenched. Her hair was stuck together as well. It hurts..
But she had to get up. She had to take shelter from the rain and wait for Ye Moxuan to come out to see her.
She had a lot to say to Ye Moxuan. I want to believe him and want to love him without hesitation.
But why is he not coming out?
For a moment, Shen Qi felt something warm come out of her eyes, but it was soon mixed with the cold rain, so she couldn’t tell whether it was rainwater or tears on her face.
“Young Lady!”
They all screamed in shock as they saw her fall.
Before Xiao Su couldn’t react, Shen Qi blinked her eyes and tried to get up from the ground. A warm but angry voice rang above her head.
“Don’t go. There’s no need.”
“Uh…” The voice sounded so familiar that Shen Qi just wanted to see who it was, but before she could do anything, her body was lifted. A pair of big warm hands held her firmly by the shoulders.
Shen Qi was in a warm embrace.
“You have done enough.”
The warm voice rang above her head, and her body was surrounded by his warm arms. Shen Qi smelled a scent that was familiar, and it was mixed with a faint smell of blood.
“Come with me. You don’t have to stay here anymore. Since he doesn’t want to see you, save some of your pride.”
At the next second, Shen Qi’s feet left the ground as she was carried by someone. She instinctively reached out to hold the man’s neck and met Ye Linhan’s distressed gaze when she looked up.
“Ye Linhan?” Shen Qi was astounded to see him. Why is he here? Should he be in the hospital? It’s already midnight, yet he is still here and talking to me!
That means…
Instantly, tears filled Shen Qi’s eyes as she stared at him. “Why are you here?” she asked.
“Fool.” Ye Linhan put on a faint smile. “Didn’t I say that I would take you to him? How can I leave when you haven’t seen him yet?”
“I… He doesn’t want to see me.” Shen Qi bit her lower lip as her tears fell uncontrollably.
“It’s okay.” Ye Linhan resisted the temptation to wipe her tears away for her and just smiled. “It doesn’t matter anymore. Since Moxuan doesn’t want to see you, I’ll get you out of here.”
With that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Shen Qi’s face changed and grabbed his sleeve. “No, I can’t! I can’t leave. I’ll wait for him here. There’s so much I want to tell him!”
Ye Linhan’s steps froze. He looked down and seemed to be blaming her a little.
“Do you not understand? He doesn’t want to see you at all. If he had any feelings for you, he wouldn’t have left you here for so long. I kept stopping myself from getting out of the car so that I could make you understand that. Are you still going to be stubborn about it?”
Shen Qi couldn’t refute.
His words immediately hit her sore spot in the heart and made her speechless.
She stared at him blankly for a moment before weeping quietly.
“But tonight, it’s really my fault. I said I was coming, but I kept him waiting all night, and I didn’t show up. He is just taking revenge on me and wants me to know how it feels like to be waiting for someone. I should understand him.”
“Don’t overthink. It’s not your fault. We were involved in a car accident. If an accident was your fault, Ye Moxuan would be the worst. Qi, let me get you out of here. You are too weak, and you were injured today. You won’t be able to take it any longer.”
With that, Ye Linhan just carried her away whether she was willing or not.
Shen Qi reacted and struggled hard.
“No, I don’t want to! I said I would wait here until he came out! I can’t leave now!”
Ye Linhan hummed, and Shen Qi didn’t dare to struggle anymore. She knew Ye Linhan was seriously injured, and she must have touched his wounds when she was struggling.
Ye Linhan stopped and gave her a wry smile. “Why are you not struggling? You can push me away and go back to the door. However, I have to tell you this—I had been watching you just now, and now that I’ve decided to take you away, I won’t let you go easily. I will not let you go back and lose your dignity unless I collapse here.”
“Ye Linhan, why bother?”
“What about you? Why are you doing the same?”
Shen Qi couldn’t say a word and just bit her lip. “I know I owe you, and I should promise you, but I still want to beg you to let me down. This is between Ye Moxuan and me. I want to do this myself. No matter what it is, it’s my choice. Didn’t you always say that you are doing all this willingly as well? So, why can’t I do it willingly for once?”
“No matter what you say, I won’t let you go again today.” Ye Linhan held her close as he walked toward the car. The others were dumbstruck to see this. What is going on? Why is Young Master Linhan here? And did he carry her away just like that?
“Linhan, please. Let me down. I really want to wait for him here. I’ve promised him, so I can’t break my promise again. Lin…”
Shen Qi’s body couldn’t take it anymore. She still had the energy to argue with Ye Linhan just now, but at the next moment, her voice became quieter, and her head fell backward.
Ye Linhan was shocked and squinted his eyes. “Qi?”
“Linhan, let me… go back!” she blurted out unconsciously.
Damn it!
It must be because I’ve stood there way too long, and the wind has made my head spin.
Otherwise, why am I getting dizzier, and why is my sight getting blurrier.
The entire world is spinning.
It feels as if an earthquake has occurred.
No, I can’t pass out. I have to wait for Ye Moxuan.
I have so many things to ask Ye Moxuan. What happened? Why is he so mad? Why did he give me the divorce settlement agreement all of a sudden?
Oh, I forgot about the divorce settlement agreement.
“You are tired. Sleep. I will take you away now.”
“D-Don’t…”
Shen Qi could hear her voice trail off until it disappeared.
She then fell into complete darkness.
