Wei Ting seemed much more energetic today than yesterday. He didn’t know what Old Master Li had told him yesterday. When he looked at Su Chenghui again, his eyes were full of smugness.
“Excuse me.”
He was holding a big bouquet of roses in one hand and a big bag in the other. Su Chenghui recognized the logo on the bag.
It was a very famous hotel in Lin City. There was breakfast in it.
He stood there and didn’t intend to give in to Wei Ting.
“President Wei, Qianxue just woke up. It’s not convenient.”
“What’s not convenient?” Wei Ting wasn’t polite. “Qianxue just woke up, so she should be hungry. Can’t you see I brought her breakfast?”
He shook the box in his hand and moved closer to Su Chenghui. “But don’t worry, it’s not for you.”
He said this very softly. Seeing the slight change in Su Chenghui’s expression, he directly squeezed past him and went into the ward.
It was not that Su Chenghui couldn’t stop him, but Li Qianxue had already heard the sound of him entering the ward.
“Qianxue, how are you?” When Wei Ting saw that Li Qianxue had already woken up, the smile on his face became even brighter.
“Wei Ting?” When Li Qianxue saw him, her expression was a little ambiguous.
She thought that when Old Master Li brought Wei Ting home yesterday, it was to convince him. What on earth was father doing?
“I brought you breakfast.” Wei Ting looked at Li Qianxue and smiled gently. “Try it. I specially queued to buy it. They’re very exquisite breakfast pastries.”
Li Qianxue did not answer, but Wei Ting was quick. He first put the flowers aside. Then, he took the breakfast out.
There was a small table on the bed, and the breakfast was placed on the table. The portion wasn’t much, but each pastry looked delicious.
“Here, have a taste. It’s still warm. I specially asked the waiter to bring two layers of insulated box.”
Li Qianxue, not knowing what expression to put on for a moment, looked at the chopsticks in his hand. Su Chenghui stood not far behind Wei Ting and stared at him coldly.
When Wei Ting handed the chopsticks to Li Qianxue, his eyes flashed. He took a few steps forward and took the chopsticks in his hand.
“You –”
Wei Ting turned to look at him. Su Chenghui’s expression did not change, he looked at Li Qianxue gently. “Qianxue, Yuxin will be here soon to deliver breakfast. Mother Zhang’s dishes are hygienic and nutritious. As for these, we don’t know where they were packed. You Don’t have to eat them.”
“Su Chenghui, what do you mean?”
Wei Ting was still young after all. Because of Su Chenghui’s actions, he could not keep his cool. “Can’t you see clearly? Look a little more clearly. These are the breakfast pastries that Jin Meixuan came out with.”
“Really?” Su Chenghui looked at his exasperated face, and his expression became more confident than before. “Then I should try it, right?”
“President Wei.” Su Chenghui raised his eyebrows and looked at him. “You don’t mind, right?”
“Of course I do –” mind. Wei Ting’s last two words were interrupted by Su Chenghui. “Of course you don’t mind. I know. Then I’ll thank you for breakfast in advance.”
“Qianxue.” Su Chenghui looked at Li Qianxue. “This breakfast is actually a little greasy. Don’t eat it.”
Greasy? Wei Ting was furious. How was it greasy? How was it greasy?
He was still talking, but Su Chenghui had already eaten. He was so fast that he didn’t have time to stop him.
Li Qianxue sat there and watched the two men’s childish behavior. She didn’t want to talk anymore.
“President Su?” Wei Ting gritted his teeth. He really felt that the back of his teeth hurt. “You don’t have to eat so fast, do you?”
“Of course I have to eat faster.” Even if Su Chenghui’s eating actions were fast, it couldn’t hide his current elegance. After so many years in the business world, his steadiness had surpassed Wei Ting’s.
“After all, Yuxin will send breakfast over later. I still have to help Qianxue eat.”
“It’s okay. I will be happy to take care of Qianxue.”
“It’s useless for you to be happy, because Qianxue won’t be happy.” Su Chenghui slowly picked up a dumpling and put it into his mouth.
Wei Ting glared at him. When he turned to look at Li Qianxue, he couldn’t help but look a little aggrieved.
“Qianxue, you won’t mind, right?”
Li Qianxue frowned. Let Wei Ting take care of her?
“Wei Ting, it doesn’t seem like the weekend today, does it?”
Was this an order to leave? Wei Ting’s expression became more and more depressed. “I’m fine. Qianxue, it’s fine if I don’t go to work. I like to accompany you.”
“I don’t need your company.” Li Qianxue rejected him curtly. “You should go to work.”
“If you don’t want me to accompany you, but you want him to accompany you?” Wei Ting pointed at Su Chenghui. The expression on his face was not only aggrieved, but also that of shock and disbelief.
“Wei Ting.” Unfortunately, Li Qianxue did not like his tone. “This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you, does it?”
“Of course it has something to do with me.” Wei Ting looked at the person who had eaten more than half of the pastries, and felt depressed. “How can he be worthy of you? Look at him, look at him –”
“President Wei.” Su Chenghui put down the chopsticks in his hand and slowly took out a tissue to wipe the corner of his mouth.
“Whether I’m worthy or not, it doesn’t seem to be up to you.” He looked at Li Qianxue with a burning gaze. “It’s up to Qianxue.”
Su Chenghui could not be blamed for being so sure. He had been married to Li Qianxue for many years. Even if they got divorced, even if they broke up. With Li Qianxue’s personality, she would not do anything that would tarnish his reputation.
Li Qianxue would definitely not say anything that would belittle him like this.
“Qianxue.” Wei Ting looked at Li Qianxue and waited for her to stand up for him. “You can’t really think that way, right?”
How could a person like Su Chenghui be worthy of Li Qianxue? What kind of joke was this?
“Wei Ting.” Li Qianxue was having a headache. She was not in the mood to continue arguing with Wei Ting. “You should go to work. We really don’t need you here.”
“Qianxue?” Wei Ting’s eyes widened. He could not believe that Li Qianxue would rather choose Su Chenghui than him.
“Mom.” He was still in disbelief when Su Yuxin arrived.
He saw Wei Ting the moment he entered the room. Naturally, he knew this man. He was a tech upstart from Lin City. He was pursuing his mother.
Su Yuxin’s feelings were a little complicated. On one hand, he was naturally happy that Li Qianxue had such charisma at her age.
On the other hand, he felt a little uncomfortable. His mother was being pursued by a man so much younger than her?
Regardless of whether it would work out, he only hoped that Li Qianxue would not get hurt.
“I brought you some soup.” In fact, the hospital had nutritious meals, but Su Chenghui insisted that the nutritious meals in the hospital were not delicious.
Even Old Master Li thought the same. It was really because the Li Corporation had shares in this hospital. How could ordinary patients have such treatment?
Su Yuxin walked forward and saw the breakfast that looked like it had already been eaten placed on the bed table.
“Mom, this is –”
“It’s nothing.” Su Chenghui would not let Wei Ting make a good impression in front of his son. “President Wei is my friend. He saw how hard I took care of your mother, so he brought me breakfast.”
Wei Ting stared at Su Chenghui and felt like he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
What did Su Chenghui mean? Who brought him here?
“Thank you, Mr. Wei.” Su Yuxin put down the lunch box politely. “Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Wei. Is there anything else?”
Wei Ting’s face turned livid. He didn’t expect Li Qianxue and Su Yuxin to chase him away in such a short period of time?
This feeling was really new. It was very fresh.
He couldn’t help but look at Li Qianxue again. “Qianxue –”
Did you see that? Your ex-husband bullied me, and your son bullied me? Everyone bullied me.
“Wei Ting, you should go back first. Yuxin and the nurses are here. I’m fine.”
“Qianxue, I just –“I want to take care of you.
“I really don’t need you to take care of me. The nurses and Yuxin are all here.”
Wei Ting couldn’t win. In the end, no matter how reluctant he was, he still walked out of the ward.
After he left, Su Chenghui was happy, and Li Qianxue was more or less at ease. Between Su Chenghui and Wei Ting, she chose Su Chenghui. It didn’t mean that she forgave Su Chenghui.
But under such circumstances, she was more willing to keep someone she felt she could control and not make her feel so uncomfortable.
Just like yesterday, Su Yuxin prepared soup for Li Qianxue and was about to feed her. Su Chenghui took the bowl away again.
“I’ll do it. You can go ask the nurse to take away the food on this table.”
How could Su Yuxin not know what Su Chenghui wanted to do? He glanced at him and went to clean it up himself.
Now, he could only hope that Su Chenghui would quickly take care of Li Qianxue on account of how tactful and quick he was.
Li Qianxue had nothing to say to Su Chenghui. Although she cooperated with Su Chenghui by opening her mouth, she kept silent and didn’t speak.
Su Chenghui liked to take care of Li Qianxue. Even the smallest things would make him feel happy and satisfied.
It didn’t matter whether Li Qianxue accepted him or not, but he had to do these things. He had to let Li Qianxue feel his love for her.
After breakfast, Su Yuxin went straight to the Li Corporation.
The Li Corporation didn’t have so many things for him to do. Everything was arranged by Li Qianxue previously. However, Su Yuxin obviously didn’t want to be a third wheel between his parents, so he could only leave.
After his son left, Su Chenghui felt even more at ease. “Qianxue, do you want to eat some fruit?”
“Qianxue, is it comfortable to sleep like this? Do you want me to adjust your pillow a little higher?”
“Qianxue, do you want to watch TV? I’ll turn on the TV for you to watch?”
“Qianxue, the latest issue of second financial magazine has arrived. Do you want me to read it to you?”
“Qianxue?”
Him repeatedly calling her name gave Li Qianxue a headache. She looked at Su Chenghui without much joy or emotion.
“You’re very noisy. I just want to have a quiet rest.”
“…”Su Chenghui looked at Li Qianxue’s cold face and couldn’t say anything else.
“Qianxue, then you can rest.”
Li Qianxue’s world was finally quiet, but this was not enough. Because Su Chenghui, staring at her with a burning gaze, was sitting on the edge of the bed.
That feeling was like a ray of light on her back. Even if she closed her eyes, she still couldn’t avoid it.
She gritted her teeth and couldn’t bear it anymore. She opened her eyes and glared at Su Chenghui. “Su Chenghui, are you done? Can you stop staring at me?”
Su Chenghui had no idea what he had done to provoke her and make her react so strongly.
“Qianxue?”
“Don’t you have anything to do? If you have nothing to do, I’ll have to trouble you to go out. I don’t want to see you.”
“Qianxue, I just –”
“I know. I just want to be alone, alright?” Li Qianxue’s tone was a little cold. “But I’m sorry, I don’t need anyone to accompany me now.”
“Qianxue?”
“Are you going or not? If you’re not going, I’m going.” It was just a transfer. She had the ability to do that.
Su Chenghui didn’t say anything else. He was also worried about her leaving just like that. After thinking for a while, he stood up. “Since you want to rest, you can rest. I’ll go get you a pot of water.”
Li Qianxue turned her face to the side. What did he mean by getting water? He was just looking for an excuse to stay.
She didn’t chase him away for two days. Perhaps it gave him some delusional hope.
Li Qianxue didn’t like this delusional hope. Seeing Su Chenghui go out with a hot water bottle and knowing that he would come back later, she was a little annoyed.
However, no matter how hard Su Chenghui tried, it was useless. As long as she was determined, Su Chenghui wouldn’t be able to shake her.
In the following time, Li Qianxue did her best to ignore Su Chenghui.
She tried his best to keep a distance from him.
She did not say anything more to provoke Su Chenghui. When a person reached a certain stage, these words were no longer useful.
Yesterday, she said something unpleasant, but Su Chenghui did not think of leaving. It was obvious that either he was thick-skinned, or he really wanted to be with her.
No matter what it was, Li Qianxue hated and disliked it.
There was a voice in the depths of her heart telling her that the feeling was not pure hate or dislike. It was that she was afraid that things would become like before, but this voice was suppressed by her.
She also thought about how she lost control when Su Chenghui wiped her body last night. She also thought about how she felt the throbbing in the depths of her heart ever since Su Chenghui hugged her.
Li Qianxue did not like these abnormal reactions. She was a very calm person. Perhaps, she could do something before Su Chenghui took a step forward.
She should think of an opportunity to completely drive Su Chenghui out of her life. As for those little things that went out of control, she would completely ignore them.
That’s right, it was just a momentary loss of control.
The door of the ward opened and closed, but after a while, it opened again. She thought that Su Chenghui had just come back and was thinking of how to properly explain it to him.
However, she saw that the person who came in was not Su Chenghui at all, but Luo Cheng.
“President Luo?”
Seeing Luo Cheng, Li Qianxue felt her drowsiness disappear. She didn’t quite understand why Luo Cheng was here.
“Qianxue, I heard that you had a car accident? I’m really sorry. I just received the news last night, so I only had time to visit you today.”
Luo Cheng smiled very amiably. He was also carrying a large pile of nutrition products.
“You are too kind, President Luo.” Li Qianxue looked at the ward and realized that only she and Luo Cheng were left in the ward.
