At the entrance of the examination room, Lu Ziqian tugged at Lu Jinshen's sleeve and asked in a sobbing voice, "Dad, will Tong Qiao and the baby be okay?"
Lu Jinshen's large hands were in his trouser pockets, and the cigarette box in his palm was crushed out of shape. He looked down at Lu Ziqian and said, "They'll be fine. Tell me, why did Tong Qiao fall?"
Lu Ziqian pursed his lips and sobbed as he said, "It's all my fault … Tong Qiao fell because she wanted to help me vent my anger …"
Lu Jinshen did not understand. He held Lu Ziqian's hand and sat him down on the waiting chair. He pressed his small shoulders and frowned as he said sternly, "Wipe your tears. Don't cry. Tell me what happened clearly."
Lu Ziqian obediently wiped his tears and took a few deep breaths. He stopped crying, but he still hiccupped from time to time. He recounted the incident from beginning to end. Although his description was not very clear, he still gave a rough idea of what had happened.
Lu Jinshen fell silent.
Lu Ziqian saw that Lu Jinshen was sullen and did not speak. He gently tugged at his clothes and said, "Dad, are you punishing me?"
Lu Jinshen turned his head and saw that Lu Ziqian's eyes were full of self-blame and fear. He raised his hand and patted Lu Ziqian's small shoulders. "Don't be afraid. They'll be fine."
Not long after, the door of the examination room opened. Lu Jinshen hurried over and asked, "Doctor, how is my wife?"
The doctor said, "It's a close call. Both mother and child are safe. However, from now until the delivery, the pregnant woman must rest well. It's best if she can stay in bed and recuperate."
Lu Jinshen's tense nerves instantly relaxed. He nodded and said, "Thank you."
The doctor smiled and said, "You're welcome. This is part of my job. The pregnant woman needs to be hospitalized for a few days for observation. Will you come with me to settle the hospitalization procedures?"
Lu Jinshen said, "Okay."
Lu Ziqian looked up at the doctor in a white coat. "Uncle, can I go in and have a look?"
The doctor smiled and nodded. "Yes, you and the nurse can accompany your mother to the ward."
"Thank you, Uncle." Lu Ziqian ran into the examination room.
Lu Jinshen finished the admission procedures and went to the door of the ward. Tong Qiao and Lu Ziqian were talking in the room.
"Why are your eyes red and swollen?" Tong Qiao asked even though she already knew the answer.
"No way." Lu Ziqian refused to admit it.
If you don't believe me, go to the bathroom and look in the mirror. "
"If I say no, then no. Why are you so annoying?"
"If you care about me, so be it. It's not embarrassing. Why don't you admit it?"
"I don't care about you. I'm the most …" Lu Ziqian, who used to say "I hate you," couldn't bring himself to say it now.
"Most what?"
"Nothing?"
"You like me the most, right?"
"Of course not."
"You don't mean what you say."
"Tong Qiao, you're so annoying. Can't you be a little quieter when you're sick?"
"No, I have to take a picture of you like this. You're too cute."
When Lu Jinshen opened the door and entered, Tong Qiao was pretending to look for her phone. When she saw him, she stopped what she was doing and immediately turned her back to him.
The lively ward instantly quieted down.
Lu Ziqian turned around and saw Lu Jinshen. "Dad."
Lu Jinshen nodded and walked over to Lu Ziqian. "Go play in the corridor for a while."
"Okay." Lu Ziqian left the ward obediently.
Lu Jinshen sat down in the chair that Lu Ziqian had just sat in. He looked at Tong Qiao's back for a while and said, "Are you angry?"
Tong Qiao didn't make a sound.
Lu Jinshen's thin lips curved slightly. He deliberately lowered his voice and said, "You had the audacity to attend Ziqian's parent-child activity, and you still think you're in the right?"
Tong Qiao thought that Lu Jinshen would apologize. She didn't expect him to say this to her. The little flame in her heart rose.
You don't know how to appreciate my kindness.
Tong Qiao couldn't take it anymore. She turned around and glared at him. "Yes, I didn't do anything. Why would I attend your son's parent-child activity? I fell and got injured. I deserved it …"
"Qiao 'er," Lu Jinshen frowned and interrupted Tong Qiao. "I don't allow you to speak like this."
"Why should I listen to you just because you say so? Why should I listen to you? " Tong Qiao couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes. "Go away. Get out. I don't want to see you."
Lu Jinshen got up. He bent over and reached out to wipe Tong Qiao's tears.
Tong Qiao swatted his hand away. "I'm asking you to leave. Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
Lu Jinshen frowned slightly. "Qiao 'er, don't make a fuss …"
"I'm making a fuss?" Tong Qiao sneered. When people were angry, they would associate all the bad things about the other person. Tong Qiao was like that now. "Why didn't you say anything about your ex-wife coming to our house every few days to make a fuss? Lu Jinshen, I don't want to live with you anymore. I'm sick of this messy life. Once I'm discharged, I'll immediately move out of the Lu family. What bullsh * t agreement? I don't want to abide by it anymore. Just seeing you makes me annoyed, annoyed, annoyed … "
Lu Jinshen bent down and kissed her chattering little mouth. The voice in the ward that was full of complaints suddenly stopped.
Tong Qiao's eyes widened as she stared at the handsome face that suddenly approached her. She was so shocked that she completely forgot how to react.
Lu Jinshen took advantage of the moment when Tong Qiao's mouth was slightly agape in shock. He entered her mouth and sucked on the sweetness in her mouth. After that one night of indulgence, he had never tasted her taste again.
Tong Qiao only reacted when her tongue was numb from Lu Jinshen's entanglement. She pushed him away and raised her hand to give him a resounding slap across the face.
A few bright red handprints immediately appeared on Lu Jinshen's well-defined face. He looked deeply at Tong Qiao. "You really have the heart to do this."
"Who … Who allowed you to kiss me?"
Lu Jinshen stared at Tong Qiao for a few seconds. He raised his hand to wipe the tears from her temples.
Tong Qiao thought that Lu Jinshen wanted to hit her. She hurriedly covered her face with both hands. "What are you trying to do?"
Lu Jinshen grabbed Tong Qiao's wrist and removed her hands. "Do you think I want to hit you?"
Tong Qiao did not speak, but her eyes said everything.
"I'm not as heartless as you. I can't bring myself to do it, and I can't bear to do it." As Lu Jinshen spoke, his warm fingertips wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes.
"You deserve it." Tong Qiao turned her face away from his touch, but her voice was noticeably softer.
Lu Jinshen's hand paused in midair for a moment. He retracted his hand and pulled the chair behind him towards the bed. He sat down. "The doctor said that you have to stay in bed more in the future to recuperate."
Tong Qiao was speechless.
"Don't go out after you get home. Rest well at home. If there's anything, ask Auntie Lin to do it."
Tong Qiao turned to look at the man beside the bed. "Lu Jinshen, do you really not understand what I'm saying, or are you pretending to be dumb? I just said that I'm moving out of the Lu family after I'm discharged. "
Lu Jinshen furrowed his brows slightly. His gaze slid past Tong Qiao's eyes and landed on her lips.
Tong Qiao seemed to understand the meaning behind his gaze. She hurriedly covered her mouth. "Lu Jinshen, don't you dare kiss me again?"
"Don't you dare say that you're leaving again?" Lu Jinshen mimicked Tong Qiao's tone of voice as he spoke.
