The two of them remained silent until Tong Qiao finished bandaging Lu Jinshen's wound. Lu Jinshen suddenly said, "Do you know why I've been angry these few days?"
Tong Qiao packed the first-aid kit and said, "I hurt your sister."
"I know Leilei's temper, and I know your personality too. She must've taken the initiative to offend you, and that's why you retaliated."
Tong Qiao was a little surprised that Lu Jinshen had thought it through so thoroughly. But … "Since you know, why did you still ask me to explain?"
"I didn't see it with my own eyes. I only guessed it based on my understanding of you. Leilei is my sister, and I can't blindly side with you. That day, Leilei was injured, and I asked you to explain. Is that too much?"
"To put it bluntly, you just don't believe me."
"If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have asked you to explain. I would've asked you to apologize. But you weren't even willing to explain. Is it because in your heart, you don't care what I think about anything? "Lu Jinshen looked deeply at Tong Qiao.
Tong Qiao didn't expect Lu Jinshen to be angry because of this. She instantly lost her confidence. Indeed, she didn't care about Lu Jinshen's feelings.
However, when she thought about how Lu Jinshen and Ji Ji had colluded to lie to her and caused her to shed so many tears, the fire in her heart burned again. "Lu Jinshen, don't change the topic. I won't forgive you easily for lying to me just now."
"I lied to you because I wanted to know if you cared about me or not."
"Don't find excuses for me. I don't buy it." Tong Qiao suddenly stood up and looked down at Lu Jinshen. Her tone was solemn. "After the confinement, I'll leave with the child. I hope you'll keep your promise then."
Lu Jinshen looked at Tong Qiao, who was walking to the door, and asked, "When we agreed, you said something. Do you remember?"
Tong Qiao stopped in her tracks. "What did I say?"
Lu Jinshen stood up and slowly walked to the door. "You said that for the sake of the child, you'll work hard to like me. But you're always thinking about leaving. Do you really treat this place as your home? You don't. "
Tong Qiao turned around angrily. "What right do you have to say that I don't? I want to leave because I'm not happy here. Your ex-wife is trying to make her presence known here every day. Your sister is also on her side now, thinking of how to chase me out of the Lu family. This was not the home I wanted. A family should be warm and comfortable, not a home where I would wake up every day and wonder if Sheng Yufei would come today. What kind of tricks will your sister come up with to mess with me? "
Also, she's going overseas after the New Year. Don't be calculative with her. As for Yufei … "Lu Jinshen paused for a moment." She's Ziqian's mother. That's all. Actually, you don't have to care if other people like you. As long as I like you, it's fine. The person who will spend the rest of your life with you is me, not them. "
Tong Qiao's heart raced uncontrollably. She blinked twice. "You like me?"
Lu Jinshen held Tong Qiao's hand and looked gentle. "I'm not the only one who likes you. Auntie Lin and my mother like you too. Ziqian too. Although he says that he hates you, he actually likes you very much. When you were injured and went to the operating room last time, he cried very sadly. Think about the good things about this family and stay, okay?"
Tong Qiao thought about Auntie Lin's meticulous care for her, Lu Meihua's occasional concern, and Lu Ziqian's look of disdain and concern for her. Her heart felt warm. If she really left, would she bear to do all these?
Also, this man in front of her. No matter what tricks Sheng Yufei played, no matter how Fu Zhilei threw a tantrum, his heart would always be with her. Also, when she found out that he might not wake up from his injury, she clearly felt her heart ache.
She cared about him very much. Although this concern might not be love, she cared about him. There was no doubt about that.
Perhaps she had already blended into this family unknowingly.
All of a sudden, Lu Jinshen pulled Tong Qiao into his arms.
Tong Qiao struggled. "What are you doing?"
"Don't move. You'll touch my wound."
Tong Qiao immediately stopped struggling. Her pretty face was flushed. "Let go of me."
Lu Jinshen didn't let go of her. Instead, he leaned closer to her. "Stay by my side, okay?"
His eyes seemed to be filled with affection, making Tong Qiao feel a little intoxicated.
"Give An 'an a complete family, okay? I'll use my life to protect both of you. "Lu Jinshen leaned closer to Tong Qiao. Their faces were just inches apart.
The man's warm breath hit Tong Qiao's face. She felt that her face was burning. His words of using his life to protect them moved her. "I … I promise you … Don't … Don't come so close to me."
Lu Jinshen's smile was like a blooming flower from the corner of his mouth to the tip of his brows.
Tong Qiao was mesmerized by Lu Jinshen's smile. She actually forgot to avoid him when he leaned closer to her lips.
Their lips had just touched when there was a knock on the door. Following that, Auntie Lin's voice was heard. "Qiao 'er, have you finished your breakfast?"
Tong Qiao hurriedly pushed Lu Jinshen away. Her face was flushed from being caught red-handed. She hurriedly walked to the bedside and sat down. She picked up the porridge on the tray and lowered her head to take a big gulp.
She drank too quickly and choked. She kept coughing.
"Drink slowly. No one's going to snatch it from you," Lu Jinshen said as he walked toward Tong Qiao.
Tong Qiao hurriedly gestured for him to stop. "Don't come over. Auntie Lin … is still at the door."
Lu Jinshen's eyes were smiling. "Okay, take your time. I'll have a good chat with Auntie Lin."
Why did the last sentence sound like he was gritting his teeth?
…
As Lu Jinshen was injured, his superiors gave him a break to recuperate at home.
It was rare for a busy man to have some free time. Apart from his daily exercise, he spent almost all his time with Tong Qiao.
Because of that conversation, the two of them became much closer.
Auntie Lin saw this and was overjoyed.
Ever since Tong Qiao gave birth, Auntie Lin was busy taking care of An 'an. Sheng Yufei would pick Lu Ziqian up from school most of the time. Occasionally, she would bring Lu Ziqian back to her place, but most of the time, she would send him back to the Lu residence.
Recently, it had been raining continuously for the past few days. When Sheng Yufei picked Lu Ziqian up from school and sent him back to the Lu residence, Lu Ziqian started coughing. He seemed to be sick.
Tong Qiao was still in confinement, so it wasn't easy for her to catch a cold. She couldn't take care of Lu Ziqian.
Auntie Lin took care of An 'an, so she didn't have time to take care of Lu Ziqian.
Lu Jinshen had time to recuperate at home, but he was a rough man and didn't know how to take care of a sick child.
The nanny at home was taking care of him, but Sheng Yufei said she was worried. In the end, Sheng Yufei stayed behind to take care of Lu Ziqian.
Lu Jinshen even specially asked Tong Qiao about this.
