The atmosphere in the ward was indescribably strange.
Li Qianxue’s hand was injured. When Wei Ting brought in the roses, she had no way to reach out to receive them.
After all, Wei Ting had always been dramatic. Every time he sent flowers, he would always send a large bouquet of roses.
Wei Ting was still holding a large bouquet of roses in his hand. His body was half-bent. It was obvious that he wanted Li Qianxue to receive the flowers.
Li Qianxue didn’t have the ability to take such a large bouquet with one hand. Just when she didn’t know how to refuse, Su Chenghui came in.
Su Chenghui saw the large bouquet of roses as soon as he came in. He narrowed his eyes and his expression didn’t change. He walked up to Wei Ting calmly.
Taking the bouquet of roses from his hand, Su Chenghui casually placed the flowers on the bedside table at the side. However, when he found that there were fruits and cups on it, he turned around and casually placed the flowers on the coffee table in the ward.
Only then did he walk to the other side of the bed and stand beside Li Qianxue. He placed a hand on Li Qianxue’s shoulder, and then he looked at Wei Ting.
“President Wei, you are thoughtful. Thank you for coming to see Qianxue.”
Wei Ting’s expression was a little bad. From the moment he saw Su Chenghui to when he took away the roses in her hand, his expression was unsightly.
“President Su, you’re too kind. I just don’t know what you’re –”
“Qianxue is injured. Of course, I’m here to take care of her.”
Su Chenghui smiled faintly. When he saw the worry on Wei Ting’s face, his expression immediately relaxed.
Ever since Wei Ting was rejected by Li Qianxue last time, he had been very depressed. Besides being depressed, there was nothing else he could do.
After all, Li Qianxue was not a young girl who had just stepped out of society, nor was she a foolish romantic. She was calm, rational, and mature.
She had her own set of rules. If he accidentally stepped on her line, she would definitely not give him the slightest chance.
This was also the reason he stubbornly appeared even though he knew that if he did not appear for a period of time, Li Qianxue would completely forget about him.
However, he did not expect that he only wanted Li Qianxue to calm down for a few days to give her a buffer period, and he also wanted to think of a way to approach Li Qianxue, but Su Chenghui was already a step ahead of him?
“President Su, aren’t you taking advantage of her?”
Taking advantage of her? Su Chenghui smiled. “What does it have to do with you?”
As he spoke, he placed his hands on Li Qianxue’s shoulders to declare his sovereignty.
“You –”
Wei Ting gritted his teeth and turned to look at Li Qianxue. “Qianxue?”
His voice was full of grievance, but Li Qianxue only felt a headache. She really didn’t have any feelings for Wei Ting. The most she thought about was that this man was like a little brother.
After all, she was an only child and had no other siblings.
“Wei Ting, thank you for coming to see me. I’ll look for you when I’m free, okay?” Li Qianxue clearly felt the hand on her shoulder tighten.
Su Chenghui… that’s enough.
“Qianxue?” Wei Ting didn’t want to. “I don’t want to leave. I want to stay and take care of you.”
“Wei Ting, stop fooling around.”
She could make Su Chenghui stay because she was impulsive, but how could Wei Ting also stay behind?
“I’m not fooling around.” Wei Ting was arguing with Su Chenghui. “Why can he stay and take care of you? Why Can’t I? I don’t care. I want to stay and take care of you.”
“President Wei, you seem to have misunderstood something.” Su Chenghui had already let go. He wrapped his arms around Li Qianxue’s shoulders. “Qianxue is my wife and the mother of my child. It’s my duty to take care of her. What’s your identity?”
“What’s my identity? I’m Qianxue’s suitor, but you and Qianxue are divorced. Why? Do you think you can tie Qianxue up? Don’t dream about it. Qianxue told me that she won’t get back together with you. It’s useless for you to pretend here.”
“It has nothing to do with President Wei. As for whether Qianxue will get back together with me, that’s not important. What’s important is that she has promised to let me stay and take care of her today.”
Turning his head to the side, he looked at Li Qianxue affectionately. “Qianxue, didn’t you agree?”
Li Qianxue looked at him and saw that he had made Wei Ting’s face turn livid, but in her heart, she did not want to give him this face.
Just as she wanted to retort, the door of the ward opened again. The person who came in this time was Old Master Li.
He had already gone to see Xiao Zhao and had even hired two nurses to take care of Xiao Zhao. He also asked someone to keep an eye on Xiao Zhao and to inform him as soon as he woke up.
Old Master Li was very attentive to the people working in the Li family. After all the instructions were given, Xiao Zhao’s family also rushed over.
Xiao Zhao worked in Lin City, and his family was out of town. Old Master Li spoke to Xiao Zhao’s wife before he came over.
He didn’t expect to see a young man the moment he arrived. He took a look and felt that this young man looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
“Dad, you haven’t gone back yet?” Li Qianxue thought that Old Master Li had already gone home. She didn’t expect that he hadn’t.
“I haven’t gone back.” Old Master Li shook his head. “I went to see Xiao Zhao and was planning to go back.”
“Hello, Uncle.” Wei Ting heard that he was Li Qianxue’s father and immediately straightened his body. “I’m Wei Ting. I’m here to see Qianxue. By the way, I’m Qianxue’s pursuer.”
When he said this, Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue, who were present, showed ambiguous looks on their faces at the same time.
Old Master Li was already old, but he did not lose his shrewdness. Because of Wei Ting’s words, he sized him up.
“You’re Wei Ting?”
“Yes.”
“I remember you. You’ve worked with Li Corporation before, right?”
“Yes. We’ve been working together since last year.” Wei Ting did not expect Old Master Li to remember him and take the initiative to talk to him. He was emboldened.
Old Master Li nodded but didn’t respond to Wei Ting’s words. “Are you pursuing Qianxue?”
“Yes.” Wei Ting answered particularly loudly.
“Ah, young man. Do you really know what you are doing? After all, Qianxue is –”
“Uncle, in my heart, Qianxue is perfect. She is the most perfect woman. I know what I am doing, and I don’t care if she has children or if she is divorced. I don’t care if she is a grandmother either.”
Old Master Li hadn’t finished his words, but Wei Ting had already said so much.
He didn’t need to say the rest. Waving his hand, Old Master Li looked at him and laughed. “You have thought it through.”
“Of course I have thought it through.”
Old Master Li nodded. He looked at Wei Ting, and then at Su Chenghui. Finally, he waved his hand. “Okay. Since you are so determined, I will test you. Come with me.”
“Uh…” Wei Ting pointed at his nose. “Me?”
“What? Don’t you want to marry my daughter? Are you afraid to accept my test?”
“Of course not.” Wei Ting was suddenly energized. He stood even straighter than before. “Uncle, just tell me what your test is.”
“Let’s go.”
Old Master Li had already started to walk out as he spoke. Before he left, he didn’t forget to say goodbye to Li Qianxue, and said that he would be going home first.
In any case, there were nurses here, and Su Chenghui as well. He wouldn’t be of much use even if he stayed.
Wei Ting took a step behind and suddenly turned around.
He ignored Su Chenghui’s gloomy expression and Li Qianxue’s stunned reaction.
He reached out and pinched Li Qianxue’s hand. His face was full of anticipation and excitement. “Qianxue, Qianxue, did you hear that? Your father has recognized me. Hahahaha. Don’t worry, I will definitely pass your father’s test.”
“…” Li Qianxue’s lips moved. Before she could say anything, Wei Ting let go of her hand. “Qianxue, wait for me. I will definitely pass the test.”
After saying this, he looked at Su Chenghui provocatively. Then, he hurriedly left the ward and followed Old Master Li.
The ward was quiet again. Su Chenghui’s facial expression was very ugly. Li Qianxue was also confused by this sudden change.
What was Old Master doing? What kind of test was this? Really, when did she say that she wanted to develop a relationship with Wei Ting?
Li Qianxue suddenly turned her body. He looked at her with a serious expression. “Li Qianxue, you don’t really want to give Wei Ting a chance, do you?”
“Why not?”
Su Chenghui looked at the provocation that flashed across her face. He lowered his head and kissed her lips.
“…”Li Qianxue’s eyes widened, as if she couldn’t believe Su Chenghui’s actions.
He didn’t count after kissing her. One hand was placed on her lower back, and the other hand was placed on the back of her head. He turned her entire body around and deepened the kiss.
Every time he kissed Li Qianxue, his heart would be greatly shaken.
They had such compatibility and it was so satisfying.
He regretted it more than once. He must have been a fool for the past twenty years. Otherwise, how could he ignore such sweet lips, and such a beautiful and charming wife?
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he could not help but feel anxious. The kiss also became more passionate.
After Li Qianxue’s initial surprise, she was unable to push the person in front of her away.
One of her hands was injured, and the other hand was tightly wrapped around her hand because Su Chenghui was hugging her. She was injured and could not exert much strength. She could not push Su Chenghui away, so she could only let him kiss her.
At first, she was a little resistant, but later, she found that she slowly relaxed. Her body leaned weakly in his arms, and she allowed him to kiss her.
No matter how many years it had been, it was always like this. In his arms, she was not the strong woman in the business world, nor was she the calm and self-controlled Li Qianxue.
Her gentleness made Su Chenghui more and more unable to stop. If it were not for the fact that she was injured, he would not have doubted that he would have taken a step further.
However, this was already very good. He still knew what it meant to know when to stop.
“Qianxue, Qianxue.” He stopped the kiss but didn’t let go of her. He hugged her with a gentle yet irresistible force.
“I know I don’t have the right, but I really hope that you don’t give other men a chance. Call me selfish or call me a jerk. These are all my hopes.”
“I hope that you are mine, only mine.”
I also hope that if possible, you will give me this opportunity. I will prove that I can do it.
Before he could finish her sentence, Li Qianxue suddenly pushed him away gently.
Her face was half-tilted, and her lips were still a little flirtatious. She stared straight at Su Chenghui’s face.
“Su Chenghui, what if I’m with another man?”
Su Chenghui was suddenly stunned.
“Who are you to me? We’re already divorced. You and I have nothing to do with each other, so why should I have to listen to you?”
“What does your hope have to do with me? You have the right to redeem yourself, and I have the freedom to refuse. I let you appear here, not because I’ve forgiven you, but because I don’t have the energy now.”
“So, if I really decide to give Wei Ting a chance, or even to be with him, what can you do?”
She kept asking questions, and Su Chenghui was almost speechless. He just looked at Li Qianxue.
“Su Chenghui, what can you do at that time?”
Su Chenghui was silent. He looked at Li Qianxue with a pale face. He wanted to tell her not to do it. He wanted to say that he could actually do it well. He had a lot of things he wanted to say, but at this moment, he couldn’t say a word.
Li Qianxue giving another man a chance? Li Qianxue being with another man?
When he thought of this, he couldn’t accept it. But he knew that what Li Qianxue said was right.
He had no right to object. They had already divorced.
“Qianxue?”
“You can go ahead.” Li Qianxue had just laid down not long ago when Wei Ting woke her up. She hadn’t had much rest yet. “I’m going to sleep.”
She didn’t use Su Chenghui’s strength, and carefully moved down. She avoided the injuries on her hands and feet, then slowly laid down.
Just as she was about to close her eyes, she heard Su Chenghui’s unstable breath and a voice that sounded even deeper than before.
“If you really want to be with another man, I won’t do anything. However, I will still stay by your side and look at you. I will always accompany and touch you and witness your happiness with my own eyes.”
Li Qianxue did not move. Her eyes rolled around, but she did not open them.
“Although that will make me suffer a lot, as long as you are happy it will be fine.”
She felt her hand being held by someone. She resisted the urge to open her eyes to look at Su Chenghui. She felt his lips on the back of her hand.
“Qianxue, I hope you’re happy. I also hope that your happiness is given by me. If it really doesn’t work, I can only wish you the best.”
“Qianxue, I only hope that you don’t make a decision in a hurry. No matter what, you’re still injured. Just let me take care of you.”
After saying that, he stood up in a hurry. Not caring about Li Qianxue’s reaction, he turned around and walked out with a thermo bottle. “I, I’ll go get some water.”
He couldn’t even bear to hear her reject him. Su Chenghui thought that he was becoming more and more useless.
Li Qianxue opened her eyes after he left. She stared at his back and the ward that was immediately closed. Her expression was ambiguous.
..
On this day, Li Qianxue’s ward was bustling with activity. At first, it was Wei Ting, then it was Yang Rong. There were also a few higher-ups in the company. When they heard that Li Qianxue had a car accident, they all came to see her.
Soon, the ward was filled with all kinds of gifts. Su Chenghui asked Mother Zhang to pack up all the things when she brought the food. He picked up the food himself and began to feed Li Qianxue.
Li Qianxue took a nap in the afternoon, but there were more people later on. She didn’t rest much either.
Although her injury wasn’t serious, it was also very exhausting. She was really hungry now. After taking a deep look at Su Chenghui, she didn’t refuse the food he fed her.
She ate very slowly, and Su Chenghui didn’t feed her quickly either.
After the morning, Su Chenghui became more skilled at doing these things. After eating, there was no need for a nurse to clean up the bowls and chopsticks.
Su Chenghui only needed to accompany Li Qianxue. He casually ate a few mouthfuls and put down the bowl.
Wei Ting never came back, and a great sense of crisis arose in his heart. Previously, Su Yuxin came over after work. He was going to stay, but he sent him home.
He wanted Su Yuxin to find out about Old Master Li. He shouldn’t be so worried, but his opponent was Wei Ting.
Wei Ting was younger and more vigorous than him. More importantly, Wei Ting was better than him because he had never hurt Li Qianxue.
He really didn’t have the slightest confidence against Wei Ting.
But he couldn’t show it, even if he was very anxious.
He felt that the situation in front of him was obviously very hopeful, but because of this sudden change, Su Chenghui fell into a wave of anxiety.
After clearing away the bowls and chopsticks, he saw that Li Qianxue did not seem to be in high spirits. He went to the small kitchen attached to the ward to wash the fruits, cut them, and brought them to the bedside.
“Eat some fruits. What do you want to eat?”
Li Qianxue didn’t say anything. He picked up an apple with a toothpick. “An apple?”
Seeing that she didn’t respond, he fed her a red grape. “Try it. I tasted it just now. It’s very sweet.”
“Qianxue?”
He looked at her and waited for her to open her mouth. Seeing Su Chenghui like this, Li Qianxue still opened her mouth and bit the red grape.
It was obviously a very simple thing, but Su Chenghui smiled. “Qianxue, it’s really sweet, isn’t it? This was bought by Yuxin. The older he is, the more sensible he is.”
Li Qianxue didn’t know because there were too many people here today. Everyone came in with gifts, so she didn’t notice.
However, because Su Chenghui said that this was bought by Su Yuxin, she ate a few more. This was the best for Su Chenghui.
He became more and more motivated. After feeding the grapes, he fed a few more cherries. Only when Li Qianxue said that she couldn’t eat anymore did he stop.
The fawning expression on his face was too obvious. Li Qianxue couldn’t bear to watch.
It was getting late. The nurse stuck her head in. She originally wanted to ask if she needed help. Seeing the two of them like this, the nurse shrank her head out again.
Su Chenghui took this opportunity to fetch water and wash Li Qianxue. “I know you like to be clean. It’s impossible to take a bath, but I can help wipe you.”
After he finished speaking, he unscrewed the towel and was about to make a move. However, the hand holding the towel stopped when he met Li Qianxue’s bright eyes.
Only then did he realize that something was wrong.
If he wiped Li Qianxue’s body, wouldn’t that mean helping her take off her clothes and then —
Just imagining that scene made Su Chenghui suddenly feel a little hot. His hand that was holding the towel tightened a little, and he even unconsciously swallowed his saliva.
Li Qianxue looked at the change in his expression and almost instantly understood what he was thinking.
