Before Xu Tingyu could answer, she saw Qi Shifeng coming.
She sobered up completely and put away all her superfluous expressions.
Seeing Qi Shifeng, Qi Ye, who had been gentle just now, also darkened his face. "Tingyu, go back first. I have something to talk to Shifeng about."
Xu Tingyu saw that both of them looked unhappy. She didn't know what had happened, but she didn't say much. She just turned around and left.
Back in the ward, a group of people came in a grand manner, carrying so many things that the ward was almost filled.
"Miss Xu, these are from the eldest young master Qi. We'll leave them here for you."
After those people put down the things, they left immediately.
Xu Tingyu stared blankly at the things in the room.
They were all top - luxury brands, including bags, flowers, jewelry, and even clothes and shoes.
There were so many that they filled almost the whole room.
Xu Tingyu was in a daze for a long time.
Why did Qi Ye buy these for her?
And make such a big show of it.
Qi Shifeng, who was so concerned about his face, would surely be angry.
She didn't look at the gifts anymore and turned around to walk out in a hurry.
For all reasons, she couldn't accept these things.
But her due date was less than a month away. Her belly wasn't extremely big, but it still made her move inconveniently and look clumsy.
So it took her a long time to walk from the ward to the garden downstairs.
By the time she arrived, Qi Ye had already left.
Qi Shifeng was on the phone. When he caught a glimpse of Xu Tingyu rushing over from the corner of his eye, he quickly hung up the phone.
"Why did you come down?"
He walked over and supported her.
Xu Tingyu looked around but didn't see Qi Ye. Then she asked, "Has Big Brother left?"
The man tightened his grip on her hand for a moment.
"Are you looking for him?"
The setting sun shone behind him, and the tall and lush branches cast a thick shadow on him.
It made his eye sockets look deeper, and his eyes were sharp and cold in this depth, piercing into people's hearts.
They had gotten along peacefully during this period. This man had treated her with unprecedented patience.
These gentle illusions made her a bit slack. She nodded. "Yes, I'm looking for him..."
Before she could finish, the man's gaze suddenly turned sinister.
"You still haven't given up? Xu Tingyu, you're carrying my child, but you're looking for another man?"
Their eyes met, like knives stabbing.
Xu Tingyu swallowed the rest of her words. Frowning, she retorted, "But even if I'm pregnant, I'm not your private property."
Neither of them looked good.
Qi Shifeng looked even worse.
Sure enough, as soon as Qi Ye came back, she felt like she had a backbone. She put away her false obedience during this period and started to cause trouble.
"You are," his voice was as cold as ice, warning her with a chill. "Don't have any other thoughts. The child is mine, and you are mine too."
Xu Tingyu was speechless.
His private property?
Now, in his heart, wasn't she even considered a thinking person?
No, she couldn't have another direct conflict.
She warned herself again and again. Finally, with a sad smile, she lowered her head. "Sorry, I understand."
She was clearly red - eyed with anger, but in the end, she chose to apologize. This was very unusual.
Qi Shifeng was stunned for a moment. He tightened his grip on her hand and wanted to look at her expression.
But she had already turned around. "I'm tired. I'll go back first."
After saying that, she finally had an excuse to shake off his hand and walked towards the ward.
The spring breeze was gentle, but for some reason, she felt like she was in an ice cave, shivering so hard that her teeth were chattering.
Back in the ward, she didn't even look at the things that had been sent. She just lay down on the bed.
Qi Shifeng quickly followed up, but he didn't come in immediately. Instead, he stood at the door and listened to the bodyguard's report.
The bodyguard reported truthfully that Qi Ye had sent a lot of things. After hearing this, Qi Shifeng immediately looked into the room.
All kinds of high - end gift bags almost filled the whole room.
He frowned imperceptibly, took a half - step back, and said to the bodyguard, "Take them all back."
Several bodyguards came in as told and quickly took all the things away.
The ward became empty and quiet again.
During this period, Xu Tingyu remained silent.
After everyone had left, Qi Shifeng walked in and closed the door behind him.
He sat on the sofa and looked at Xu Tingyu lying on the bed with her back to him.
He knew she wasn't asleep.
Her breathing rate was wrong.
He sneered and said, "Is he really that good that you can't forget about him?"
It was obvious what he meant. He thought that there was an ambiguous relationship between Xu Tingyu and Qi Ye.
If it had been before, Xu Tingyu would surely have argued.
But now she just wanted to sneer.
She didn't know where he got the nerve to ask if she couldn't forget another man.
Or did he know that the news about him and Xie Yu had gone too far, so he was trying to pour dirty water on her to achieve so - called balance?
She didn't want to talk to him, so she didn't say a word.
After dozens of seconds of silence, she heard Qi Shifeng sneer.
Then, he stood up from the sofa, took a few steps, and came to the bedside. He turned her body around to face him.
When he was angry, he had a thunderous威慑力.
Although he was handsome and would never look hideous even when extremely angry.
But the cold and stern anger on him, diffusing from his deep eyes, could freeze every part of a person's body.
Xu Tingyu was forced to meet his gaze and instinctively began to tremble.
His hand moved along her shoulder and touched her face.
His slightly rough fingertips circled around her lips.
"Xu Tingyu, he's back safely. Are you very happy?"
He leaned over, examining her up close with cold eyes.
Xu Tingyu was startled. She didn't miss the subtlety when he said the word "safely".
Did this man think that Qi Ye shouldn't have come back safely?
As brothers, it was fine that he didn't care about Qi Ye at all, but he even thought that Qi Ye shouldn't have come back?
In other words, if he treated his own brother like this, how much mercy would he show to her, the person he already disliked?
She looked at the sharpness between his eyebrows and easily felt a cut in her heart.
She adjusted herself for a long time and tried to make her expression look sincere.
"Qi Shifeng, I only regard him as my big brother. It's because we're married that I have an intersection with him. Do you understand?"
She had suffered such a big setback because of him. How could she like another Qi family member?
"Only as a big brother?" He smiled, but there was no trace of warmth in his eyes. "Then why didn't you tell me the first time he came back?"
It was the bodyguard who sent him the photos.
In the garden, the two of them were sitting on the swing chair, looking into each other's eyes affectionately.
They looked like the protagonists in a movie poster, extremely well - matched.
"I have a clear conscience. Why should I tell you everything? Moreover, he has the surname Qi. It shouldn't be my job to inform you when he comes back."
After a pause, she raised her voice. "Besides, even if I didn't tell you, you still found out, didn't you?"
The bodyguards would tell him everything she did, wouldn't they?
