Hearing Qi Ruixi's words, Xu Tingyu didn't say anything more.
She silently finished a small piece of cake and looked at Qi Ruixi again. "By the way, how's the matter with Xie Yu?"
She stayed up all night last night, replaying the whole thing in her mind.
Was it really because Xie Yu had tied him up that Qi Shifeng couldn't come to the hospital at that time?
She believed that Qi Shifeng would help Xie Yu solve the problem, but she didn't believe that the always calm and noble him would fight someone with his own hands.
Even if he did fight, how could these news stories have leaked out?
She wasn't stupid, nor was she still harboring any illusions about this man.
She just wanted to know what role this man had been playing in all these things.
Hearing this, Qi Ruixi's expression faltered for a moment.
But after carefully observing Xu Tingyu's expression and finding that she didn't seem too angry, she let out a soft sigh of relief.
"Actually, it was all a misunderstanding. The news has already been deleted."
She explained, but there was still a hint of guilt in her voice.
"Actually, my brother was on his way to the hospital that day, but halfway there, his phone kept ringing."
"I don't know what happened to that Xie Yu. She said that her agent had sent her to a big shot's dinner table and that she was going to be sexually harassed."
"My brother had no choice but to go and solve this matter, but he definitely didn't beat anyone."
"The news that said he was arrested for beating someone is definitely a rumor. My brother would never do something so stupid."
After saying all this, Qi Ruixi carefully glanced at Xu Tingyu's expression again.
Seeing that she was just in a daze, not looking heart - broken or angry, Qi Ruixi felt a strange feeling in her heart.
She had always been outspoken in front of Xu Tingyu, so the next second, she said, "Hey, actually, sister - in - law, if you ask me, you might as well keep the child and leave the father."
Even as an onlooker, she couldn't stand it anymore.
Her brother was really going too far.
Not only did he accompany Xie Yu both times when something happened to the Xu family,
but now he also ignored his sister - in - law and only knew to focus on his career.
Would the Qi Group stop running without him?
It was all just an excuse.
It was just proof that he didn't love her.
Hearing this, Xu Tingyu looked at her, her eyes full of confusion.
Qi Ruixi gritted her teeth and continued.
"What I mean is, sister - in - law, have you read those domineering CEO novels? You should run away with the baby. Maybe after you leave him, he'll realize how good you are."
Wasn't that how it was in novels?
Only when you lost something would you know how to cherish it.
These words successfully made Xu Tingyu burst out laughing.
"Xixi, you're too naive."
Wasn't she just too naive?
Not to mention whether she could escape Qi Shifeng's surveillance, even if she did, so what?
The Qi family wouldn't allow their own blood to be left outside.
In this era of big data, how could it be hidden?
Even if she managed to run away successfully, she would soon be caught back.
By then, she would be in an even more passive position.
"No, I'm serious, sister - in - law. If you want to go abroad, if you want to leave, I can give you money. I have some savings. It's enough for you and the baby..."
She didn't want to see such a beautiful and gentle sister - in - law wither away gradually by her brother's side.
Xu Tingyu should be a gorgeous and vibrant rose, blooming under the spotlight.
Hearing her words, Xu Tingyu was also a little lost in thought.
Could she run away?
Maybe she could. The Qi family didn't like her, and maybe they didn't like the baby in her belly either...
Just then, a cold and sharp voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Qi Ruixi, I didn't ask you to come here to instigate her to run away."
The door of the ward was pushed open, and Qi Shifeng, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, appeared at the door.
He had lost a lot of weight and looked exhausted, but his eyes were incredibly bright.
Qi Ruixi's face turned pale with fright. She immediately stood up and explained timidly, "I... I didn't mean that."
Qi Shifeng didn't want to hear what she meant. He just told Jiang Li behind him to take her away.
When Qi Ruixi left, she was still shouting, "I'm the one who said those words. It has nothing to do with sister - in - law. Don't make things difficult for her."
Qi Shifeng didn't even look at her. He just locked the ward door from the inside and then strode up to Xu Tingyu.
The two of them hadn't seen each other for a month, but it felt like an entire century had passed.
When Xu Tingyu looked up at him, she even felt a sense of strangeness.
There was a rare hint of tiredness on his cold face. When he looked down at her with drooping eyes, there was a thick fog in the depths of his eyes.
The two of them stared at each other silently for a few seconds.
It was Qi Shifeng who spoke first. "How do you feel today?"
He sat down beside her bed and unceremoniously reached his hand into her quilt. Through the hospital gown, he placed his hand on her belly.
It was already deep winter.
It was damp and cold in Kyoto, and there seemed to be the cold air from outside on his body.
Xu Tingyu shrank back from the cold.
This resistant gesture fell into Qi Shifeng's eyes, making his expression even darker.
"The doctor said you haven't been eating properly. Why, don't you want this baby?"
She tried to avoid him, but he leaned closer until he trapped her whole body in his arms.
Xu Tingyu had nowhere to hide. She frowned slightly and smelled a faint fragrance on his clothes that didn't belong to him.
It was the smell of jasmine.
She had smelled it on Xie Yu a few times.
It seemed that her husband had gone to see his white moonlight before coming to see her.
After having enough tenderness with his white moonlight, he finally remembered his wife.
She couldn't help feeling nauseous. She pushed him away and ran to the bathroom, vomiting out all the cake she had just eaten.
Qi Shifeng followed her in. Seeing her kneeling in front of the toilet and vomiting, he couldn't help but want to step forward to comfort her.
Who would have thought that before he could get close, he heard a sharp rebuke.
"Don't come near!"
Her rejection was too obvious.
It was so obvious that Qi Shifeng couldn't deny that she was vomiting because of him.
The always high - and - mighty President Qi found that his wife actually hated him to such an extent.
For a moment, he just stood there stupidly, not knowing what to feel.
Xu Tingyu didn't look at him. After vomiting, she silently washed her face and then looked at him coldly. "Get out of the way."
Actually, he wasn't blocking the door, but the bathroom was just so small. If she wanted to pass by, she would definitely bump into him.
She didn't want to bump into him.
Qi Shifeng's face turned even darker, but he didn't say anything and silently stepped aside.
Xu Tingyu returned to the bed and turned her back to him, saying nothing.
Qi Shifeng also followed her out. Seeing her resistant gesture, he finally couldn't help it.
He reached out his hand and turned her around so that she was facing him.
"Xu Tingyu, no matter what, don't abuse yourself."
He knew every detail of her life in the hospital this past month.
Not eating, not communicating, showing no reaction, being indifferent to the baby in her belly.
She was using her own way to tell the whole world that she hated him, and by extension, the baby in her belly.
And he had clearly heard Qi Ruixi's words "keep the child and leave the father" just now.
He had stood at the door without going in, just wanting to hear how she would answer.
Would she refute, complain, or cry?
He had guessed all sorts of possibilities.
But he never expected that she would say so heartlessly, sarcastically, and casually, "You're too naive."
