When Qi Shifeng found this piece of clothing, he stubbornly believed that no straight man would wear it.
And he was as straight as they come, a real straight man. He would never wear it in his life. He told her to give up on that idea.
Of course, she was also not allowed to let anyone else wear it, and she wasn't allowed to buy such things in the future.
Xu Tingyu thought he looked kinda cute at that time, so she deliberately teased him, "Really not going to give it a try? What if you actually like it?"
Qi Shifeng carried her onto the bed with a scowling face and firmly declared, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. A decent person doesn't wear this."
But now, this "decent person" was proven wrong.
Actually, Xu Tingyu didn't really care about such things. After all, Qi Shifeng was already so charming that she could hardly resist him on a normal day.
She didn't really need such things to spice things up.
But now, when this man actually showed up in such attire in front of her, she realized she had been too naive before.
No wonder some things were necessary.
No wonder Qi Ruixi had such a sly smile when giving the gift.
The visual impact was truly something.
Qi Shifeng was initially resistant to wearing this. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken so long to get dressed.
But now, seeing Xu Tingyu's reaction, he suddenly felt it was all worth it.
As long as his wife liked it, he was willing.
Just as he was about to lean down and kiss her, Xu Tingyu suddenly sat up and pulled his bathrobe back up.
She even tied a tight knot.
"Mr. Qi, remember your male virtue," she said.
"The hospital ward is a public place. If someone sees this, you may not care about your reputation, but I do."
She gave him a sideways glance and sat back on the bed.
If it weren't for her still blushing face, Qi Shifeng would really have suspected that his charm wasn't enough.
Even in this situation, she could still "remain unmoved."
"I locked the door. No one will come in. All the bed sheets and quilts are from home, not the hospital's stuff," he said.
"Moreover, I didn't say I was going to do anything. What are you thinking?"
Qi Shifeng shifted the blame.
To make Xu Tingyu more comfortable in the ward, he had replaced all the things in it.
If it weren't for Xu Tingyu's worry that going home would make Youyou nervous, he would have taken her home long ago.
Xu Tingyu reached into his bathrobe and pinched his chest muscle. "Qi Shifeng, I don't think you really know where you went wrong."
Daring to dress like this to tease her. This didn't look like someone who knew they were wrong.
But Qi Shifeng immediately said, "I really know I was wrong."
Xu Tingyu didn't say anything. She just looked at him, signaling him to continue.
He let out a soft sigh, hugged her, and sincerely admitted his mistake.
"I shouldn't have doubted your sincerity, and I shouldn't have made decisions on my own."
"Since you were willing to give me a chance, it mustn't have just been because of Youyou."
The more he spoke, the softer his voice became, and the more guilty he felt.
A smart person like Xu Tingyu would never stay with someone she didn't love just because of a child.
But he had been blinded by guilt for so long. So when Qi Ye "stirred things up," he really panicked.
Seeing him with his head down, looking like a scolded child, Xu Tingyu finally relaxed her expression.
She let him sit down on the edge of the bed, held his face in her hands, and looked seriously into his eyes.
"Finally understood? Qi Shifeng, you have to trust me. If I didn't have feelings for you, I would never have given you a chance."
"I like you. I've liked you since the first time I saw you years ago, and you're the only one I've ever liked. Do you understand?"
After this amnesia incident, she had also thought things through.
No one knew what the future held. There might be an accident any day.
At least, Qi Shifeng should know that when she married him back then, it wasn't out of reluctance.
In that seemingly conflict - filled and tragic marriage, she had loved him passionately.
Qi Shifeng's eyes instantly turned red. "I love you too. You're the only one I've ever loved, and I'll love you more and more in the future. I'll love you more every tomorrow than today."
He was a man who didn't know how to express his feelings.
When Xu Tingyu went abroad, when he saw a psychologist, the doctor told him not to be stingy with expressing his love.
It wasn't something to be ashamed of.
He knew it wasn't shameful, but no one really loved him.
Everyone liked him because of his status or because of his noble and cold - looking self.
But that wasn't the whole him. He was the tool created by the old man, wearing the shackles.
They didn't know that he was timid, clumsy with words, and like a monster, only peeping at others' happiness in the dark.
So at that time, he had so easily believed that Xu Tingyu liked Qi Ye.
Xu Tingyu had lived under the same roof as him. No matter how well he concealed himself, there were bound to be times when he showed his flaws.
How could she like a monster like him who didn't know how to love?
But now, she said she liked him.
She had only ever liked him.
The cracks in his heart seemed to be slowly filled up.
Words were pale in this situation.
But he still stubbornly asked, "Are you still angry?"
Xu Tingyu stroked his face. "I'm not angry. I'm just heart - broken. Heart - broken for you and for Youyou."
These three months had truly been an undeserved disaster.
Qi Shifeng hugged her tighter, his heart aching. "I know, I know everything."
He would spend his whole life making it up to her, and he would make Qi Ye pay the price.
The two of them were finally reconciled.
The next day, Jiang Li brought good news early in the morning.
The motorcycle that hit Xu Tingyu had been found.
Before, the police had been following the surveillance footage, and their side had also put in money and effort, offering a large reward.
They had released the photos of the perpetrator and the motorcycle, promising a direct reward of 100,000 yuan for anyone who provided clues.
If someone could provide the exact information of the perpetrator, the reward would be 500,000 yuan.
If someone directly caught the perpetrator, the reward would be 5 million yuan.
Five million yuan! Who wouldn't be tempted?
So for a while, there were many people providing information.
One of the tips was provided by the owner of a motorcycle shop.
"A month ago, this motorcycle was sold from my shop," he said.
Jiang Li and his team had to deal with a lot of such tip - offs every day, so they were quite calm.
They just asked him routinely, "You run a motorcycle shop. You sell so many motorcycles every day. How can you be sure this one was sold by you?"
The shop owner spoke quickly. "This motorcycle is very ordinary and can be seen everywhere. But look at the rear wheel hub. It's been modified."
The perpetrator was also very cunning. He deliberately chose a common motorcycle, probably thinking that it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack if they tried to trace it.
But he had overlooked one thing, or maybe he just didn't know.
"This motorcycle was sold to my shop two months ago. Someone came to buy it a month ago. That person said he didn't have high requirements for the performance of the motorcycle. As long as it could run, it was okay."
"So he bought this second - hand motorcycle for 5,300 yuan. The rear wheel hub of this motorcycle was modified by the previous owner. It's not the original one."
"I'm sure this motorcycle came from my shop because there are two friction - like marks on this modified wheel hub. Actually, it's an 'X' letter."
"It's the surname of the previous owner. If the previous owner hadn't been in urgent need of money, he wouldn't have sold this motorcycle."
