They had been living together for three years, and he knew only too well what this kind of attitude meant.
So all of a sudden, his heart ached terribly, which even surprised himself.
Then, in the room, Qi Ruixi actually said that she would help her run away.
Oh, this naughty girl. How dared she incite his wife to escape here?
He didn't care about the pain in his heart nor take the time to sort out his emotions. He just pushed the door open.
Now, Xu Tingyu didn't even try to hide her dislike and aversion towards him.
He had never been so embarrassed.
"I'm sorry. I failed to come in time that day. It's my fault."
He turned her body around and for the first time apologized to her.
Xu Tingyu was stunned, suspecting that she had misheard.
How could this man apologize to her?
Before she could react, Qi Shifeng suddenly hugged her, pressing his cold cheek against her neck.
Xu Tingyu shivered from the cold, but he wouldn't allow her to shrink back.
He hugged her tightly, but arched his stomach as if afraid of squeezing the baby.
His whole posture was extremely strange.
It made Xu Tingyu feel extremely strange too.
She still struggled to get out of his embrace. "Let go of me."
But he refused. Instead, he turned his head and kissed the corner of her mouth.
"I know you're sad about Xu Jia's death, but at least be kind to the baby."
Xu Tingyu felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
So, all his comfort, concern, and keeping her here were all because of the baby in her belly.
He didn't care about her at all.
She laughed. As she laughed, tears welled up and dripped onto Qi Shifeng's face.
He looked up at her, his eyes filled with unprecedented tenderness.
But Xu Tingyu only felt it was hypocritical.
The Qi family had plotted a huge conspiracy against the Xu family.
They had torn the Xu family apart and swallowed it up.
Now, as the person in power of the Qi family, how dared he ask her to be kind to the baby?
She hated him to the core. She almost roared hysterically.
"I hate you, Qi Shifeng. I wish I had never met you. Get out of here. I never want to see you again."
She struggled violently, not caring about herself at all.
Surprise flashed across Qi Shifeng's eyes. The next second, he grabbed her hand. "Are you crazy?"
How dared she say she never wanted to see him again?
How dared she say she wished she had never met him?
Had she taken Qi Ruixi's suggestion to heart?
Was she going to take their baby and run away where he couldn't find them?
Anger flashed in Qi Shifeng's eyes. He wrapped her in the quilt to prevent her from hurting herself.
At the same time, he suddenly shouted for Jiang Li outside.
When Jiang Li came in, he saw Xu Tingyu with tear - stained face, wrapped up like a chrysalis.
And Qi Shifeng with red eyes and a terrifying expression.
He didn't know what had happened between the two.
But he was terrified just looking at them.
"Transfer Madam to another hospital immediately."
This hospital was too dangerous. She might really run away at any time.
He absolutely couldn't accept that.
So he was going to hide her in a place where no one could find her.
Before Jiang Li could respond, Xu Tingyu's face suddenly changed.
She suddenly remembered that during her previous hospitalization, Chen Chunyao had said that she had overheard him contacting a mental hospital.
Was he really going to send her there this time?
If so, no one would ever know about the heinous crimes the Qi family had committed against the Xu family.
In panic, she struggled violently. Qi Shifeng was afraid of hurting her and dodged a lot. She actually managed to break free.
Then she took the opportunity to slap him hard.
Before he could react, she scratched his neck, leaving a long bloodstain.
The accident happened so suddenly that even Jiang Li didn't react.
But Qi Shifeng didn't even grunt. He just hugged her again and comforted her softly, "It's okay, Tingyu. It's okay."
He had never called her so tenderly before.
But Xu Tingyu couldn't hear anything.
She only knew that there was an insurmountable gap between her and this man.
It was completely over between them.
Maybe because she was too excited and hadn't eaten properly for a long time, she struggled a few more times in his arms and then suddenly fainted.
This really shocked Qi Shifeng. He immediately asked someone to call the doctor.
Everything was in a mess.
Qi Ruixi had been hiding nearby and didn't leave. Seeing this chaotic scene, she summoned up the courage to enter the ward again.
Xu Tingyu was lying in Qi Shifeng's arms like a delicate but lifeless doll.
Qi Shifeng was also in a state of panic she had never seen before.
But just now, her sister - in - law had been quite calm.
Qi Ruixi gritted her teeth. After the doctor had driven everyone out, she said to Qi Shifeng, "Brother, maybe you should separate from sister - in - law for a while."
It was obvious that Xu Tingyu didn't want to see him now.
Qi Shifeng's eyes were red, his neck was bleeding, and his face looked terrible.
He was extremely embarrassed.
Just when Qi Ruixi thought he was going to get angry at her, he suddenly said, "She is my wife."
Last time when she said she didn't want to see him, he had given her a month.
They were husband and wife. Were they going to never see each other for the rest of their lives?
"But she's in pain whenever she sees you. If you really care about her, you shouldn't be entangled with other women."
"You shouldn't be absent when she needs you the most."
"Brother, let sister - in - law go. She's already very pitiful. You don't love her or care about her at all. If you insist on tying her down, she'll die."
It was unknown which word touched Qi Shifeng.
His body trembled violently.
But he quickly calmed down.
The imposing aura of a superior spread out.
"I won't let her die."
This woman had a very good fate. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been chosen by the old man.
With such a good fate, she was destined to live a long life. How could she not survive?
He didn't want to listen to Qi Ruixi's "nonsense" anymore. He also refused to admit that she would be better off without him.
He was terribly stubborn.
When Xu Tingyu woke up again, she was in a sanatorium.
The environment here was extremely good and very quiet.
She received the highest - level of care. Even Aunt Zhang came to take care of her diet.
When she learned that this wasn't a mental hospital, Xu Tingyu let out a slight sigh of relief.
But soon she found that there was no difference from a mental hospital.
She couldn't contact anyone else, nor could she find any way to connect with the outside world.
Even the medical staff here were like robots with pre - set programs. They wouldn't answer any of her questions except those related to her physical condition.
Even Aunt Zhang didn't dare to say anything other than delivering meals to her.
She was like a prisoner, locked up here, not knowing how long her "sentence" would be.
The only difference from a prisoner was that she would be arranged to take mother - baby classes in the afternoon.
These classes were all about parenting knowledge, aiming to train novice mothers.
There were a bunch of teachers, but she was the only student.
She knew that after the baby was born, she didn't actually need to take care of it herself.
These classes were just to cultivate the bond between her and the baby and make her love the baby more.
