Li Qianxue wasn't very awake. After being kissed by Su Chenghui like this, she woke up even if she didn't want to.
The force was very strong and painful. She was a little out of breath.
Not only did Su Chenghui kiss her, but he also held her waist tightly and held her in his arms.
After the kiss ended, Li Qianxue found that his eyes were actually red.
"Li Qianxue. Let me tell you, in this life, I won't go anywhere other than by your side. "
Li Qianxue looked at his red eyes, and the words she was about to say became self-deprecating. "Don't think too much. Who knows if I have a next life?"
"It'll be fine. Do you hear me? You'll be fine. "
He hugged her tightly with almost the strength to rub her into his body. "You'll be fine. Even if it's a tumor, with how advanced medicine is now, it will be cured. Don't think too much, you – "
"You're the one who thinks too much, right?" Li Qianxue was a little hurt by his hug. She struggled a little. "Let go of me. I can't breathe."
"No." Su Chenghui rarely showed such a childish side. "I won't let go, and I won't let anything happen to you. Qianxue, don't think too much. I believe you'll be fine. You'll definitely be fine. "
He repeated these words over and over again. It was unknown whether he was convincing Li Qianxue or himself.
"Su Chenghui, let go."
She had always been self-disciplined, but she was a little shocked to find that there was something wrong with her body. At this moment, she had already recovered. "I know I'll be fine. Let go of me first."
Wasn't it just a tumor? She could just have an operation to remove it. Seeing that she didn't have any reaction like this, it probably wasn't serious.
Su Chenghui didn't move away. He still held her hand tightly and looked at her as if she would disappear from his eyes in the next second.
"Qianxue. Let's go to the hospital for another checkup. Check it a few more times. I know an expert in the United States. I'll ask him to come back and operate on you. "
"Su Chenghui." Li Qianxue couldn't stand him like this. "Where's Su Peizhen? How is she? "
"…" Su Chenghui was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"I don't know." When Su Chenghui said this, he looked a little embarrassed. "I heard that you were sick, so I came back without stopping."
"Then, you …" Li Qianxue was stunned. "Didn't you come back after the audit?"
As she spoke, she picked up her phone and looked at the time. She went home from the physical examination to sleep. It had only been five hours.
Su Chenghui had to rush to the airport from Rong City. Even if he took the fastest plane back, it would still take a long time.
It was equivalent to him rushing all the way back without stopping. Li Qianxue looked at him in shock.
"I'm not in the mood." Su Chenghui had been thinking about Li Qianxue's illness along the way. A tumor could be big or small. If it was not treated well, it could lead to the worst outcome.
Su Chenghui couldn't think rationally the whole way. There was only one thought in his mind — nothing could happen to Li Qianxue.
Now that Li Qianxue asked about it, he realized that he hadn't even paid attention to the final outcome of Su Peizhen's trial. As a father, he had failed in his duty.
"I'll call and ask now."
As Su Chenghui spoke, his phone rang. It was the lawyer he had hired for Su Peizhen.
"Mr. Su, the result of the trial is out."
"How is it?" Su Chenghui only felt a little nervous at this moment. He glanced at Li Qianxue, not sure what the result would be if she knew.
"The appeal was successful. The previous first trial was rejected. The second trial changed the sentence to two years in prison, suspended for two years. "
The lawyer's words made Su Chenghui breathe a sigh of relief. This result was more or less good. Suspended for two years. As long as Su Peizhen didn't do anything wrong in these two years, she would basically be a free person.
"Good, very good. Thank you. Lawyer Jiang. "
"You're welcome." Lawyer Jiang also breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, this matter was because of Su Qingsang.
She knew that Su Chenghui had been running around because of Su Peizhen recently, so she didn't want to be nosy. But after all, that person was still her biological father.
Especially Su Chenghui's recent performance, it touched her a lot. After thinking about it, she still greeted Huo Jinyao.
This result was also the best for her. Two years in prison. Including the time Su Peizhen had served before, she still had six months in prison.
Two years of probation, and she would be released. If she caused trouble again, she would be locked up again. If she really repented, Su Chenghui could also breathe a sigh of relief.
"What about Zhenren Pei?"
"Miss Su was released after the trial. Now she is home with her mother, Ms. Xiang."
Su Peizhen's second trial was such a big matter, so naturally, she had to tell Xiang Caiping. Even though Xiang Caiping didn't like Su Chenghui, he could help Su Peizhen come back earlier, so Xiang Caiping felt a little better.
Su Chenghui spoke a few more words with Lawyer Jiang and finally hung up. Then, he called Su Peizhen.
Su Peizhen had just come out and didn't have a phone. Su Chenghui contacted Xiang Caiping first, so they should be together at this time.
"Dad?"
"Yes. Peizhen. How are you? "
"Not bad." Su Peizhen wanted to come out earlier, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.
"I'm sorry. Peizhen, Dad had something to do today, so I couldn't accompany you – "
"Dad, it doesn't matter. I'm already out anyway. "Su Peizhen didn't care about the process.
She could also see that in Su Chenghui's heart, her position had probably fallen again and again.
If it was in the past, she would definitely be indignant. But now, after more than a year in prison, she was more open-minded than before.
"It's good that you're out, it's good that you're out." Su Chenghui's feelings were a little complicated. He thought for a moment and said, "I've already asked someone to clean up your house in Lin City. You –"
"Dad," Su Peizhen interrupted him. "I won't go back to Lin City."
"Peizhen?"
"I still have to take care of my mother." The mother here was naturally referring to Xiang Caiping. "She's old. I don't feel at ease leaving her alone."
Su Chenghui didn't know what to say. Su Peizhen knew what he was thinking.
"Dad, don't worry. I won't make the same mistake again. I won't be stupid again. Don't worry. "
"I believe you. I just don't want you to suffer anymore. If you go back to Lin City, I can take care of you. "
"No need. I can take care of myself. "Su Peizhen looked in Xiang Caiping's direction as she spoke." Dad, don't worry. I'm not the Su Peizhen I used to be. "
Su Chenghui couldn't persuade her. He hung up the phone, unable to hide the sadness on his face.
However, the sadness turned into worry when he saw Li Qianxue's face. "Are you sure you don't want to go for another checkup? Why don't I arrange for you to go to the big hospitals in Hu City and the capital for another checkup? "
"No need." The medical care in Lin City was considered one of the best. She didn't think there was any possibility of misdiagnosis.
"Why don't we find an American specialist –"
"Su Peizhen doesn't want to go back to Lin City?"
She changed the topic too quickly. Su Chenghui had to change the topic. "Yes, she said she wants to stay in Rong City."
Li Qianxue didn't speak. She actually heard Su Chenghui's call just now.
She wasn't surprised by Su Peizhen's choice. In fact, it was best for her to stay in Rong City. After all, she could start over in Rong City. If she came back, it might not be the same.
"Qianxue, I'm really worried about you. Just listen to me and go for another checkup, okay?"
"We'll see." Li Qianxue definitely had to go for another checkup, but she wasn't in the mood now.
She needed some time to think about two possibilities in the future. One was that the tumor was benign and there was nothing wrong with it.
The other was that the tumor was malignant. If that was the case, she might have to prepare for some things in advance –
"Qianxue, what are you thinking about?"
Su Chenghui had been married to her for many years. He knew what she was thinking when he saw her expression. He held her hand tightly.
"Don't think about it in that direction. You'll definitely recover. Do you hear me? "
Compared to his excitement, Li Qianxue was much calmer. "Su Chenghui, if, I mean if, what if there's something wrong with me –"
"There will be no ifs. There will be no what-ifs. "
Su Chenghui didn't want to listen to her at all. He kissed her again, fiercely, forcefully, and with a hint of urgency.
She couldn't say the rest of the words. She looked at his expression and didn't quite understand. Why was he the one who couldn't accept reality at this time?
She let him kiss her. She didn't push him away. She even pandered to him.
She didn't want to think of things in a bad direction, but her personality was like this. She always liked to make the best preparations, but she also liked to plan for the worst.
"Qianxue –"
Her response was almost the best stimulant for him. Su Chenghui almost couldn't control himself.
However, thinking of her illness and her physical condition, he forced himself to retract his hand. He propped up a palm and stared at her face.
"Qianxue. Don't say ominous words, and don't think in a pessimistic direction. There will be no ifs, and there will be no what-ifs. "
He didn't allow it.
Li Qianxue looked into his eyes. Her heart, which had been wavering, suddenly felt a little moved at this moment.
She used to hate him. She really hated him. She hated him for being heartless and preparing.
Later, she hated him for being hypocritical. She hated him for changing the child and breaking her heart.
Later, she didn't hate him anymore, but she couldn't let it go.
When she knew that she might die today, the first thought that came to her heart was unwillingness.
Unwillingness. She hadn't had enough. She hadn't completely made this man hers yet.
What was even more unwillingness was that she found that she still couldn't let it go. She went to sleep as soon as she came back. It might have been because she wanted to escape from reality.
She once read an article that said that when people reached middle age, they were most afraid of illness and death. There were old people and young people.
She didn't think much of it before. But today, he really felt that way. If something happened to her, what would Old Master Li do? What about Su Yuxin?
What about Su Qingsang? How long had it been since she and her daughter met? Were they going to be separated forever? She couldn't accept it.
The one who couldn't accept it the most was Su Chenghui. She had just driven him away, but she hadn't let him understand that everything she said that day didn't come from the bottom of her heart.
She didn't really want to torture him, and it wasn't that she really didn't love him anymore. It was just that she didn't have the chance to say those words.
But he came back. He left his once beloved daughter and came to her side.
The moment she saw him, Li Qianxue found that her heart had calmed down a lot. It was just like when Old Master Li officially put the burden of the Li family on her shoulders.
She had also been nervous and worried for a period of time. She was always afraid that she couldn't do her best. She was always worried that she couldn't be like Old Master Li and make everyone believe in her.
But Su Chenghui had been by her side during that period of time.
Yes, that period of time was one of the few times when they didn't oppose each other. Instead, they united against the outside world.
No, it should be said that in terms of business, Su Chenghui's position had always been the same as hers. During that period of time, he had given her the greatest help.
It was also because of this that her marriage with Su Chenghui for more than twenty years could continue.
Regardless of how they got along in private, in terms of business, Su Chenghui was definitely her strongest supporter and fan.
He let her know how capable she was, let her know that one day, she could do better than Old Master Li.
Her heart was more or less at ease. Although it hadn't been put into practice yet, at least it wasn't like when she first received the report.
"Su Chenghui, anything is possible in this world."
"Qianxue, you don't –"
"Listen to me." Li Qianxue insisted. "I know that this is just a small surgery. I also know that I might be fine. However, I still have to say that if I have anything. I'll leave the Li Corporation to you. "
"Qianxue. I – "
"At least, before Yuxin can take charge of things on his own, you have to run the Li Corporation well. You have to give a more glorious and powerful Li Corporation to Yuxin. "
"Qianxue." Su Chenghui felt a little sore in his throat, and the tip of his nose was slightly sore. He held her hand and buried his face in her palm. "Don't be like this. I can't hear this. Really. You can do it yourself. "
"Promise me."
"Qianxue." Su Chenghui looked up at her. "Do you know? You're making things difficult for me. "
"Yes. I'm making things difficult for you. " Li Qianxue nodded and admitted it openly. "But you've made things difficult for me for so many years. I'm just making things difficult for you a little now. It's not too much, is it?"
"Qianxue, you know that the situation is different now. If I lose you, I don't know if I can still live. "
"Even without me, you have to live."
Li Qianxue placed her hand on his shoulder. "Su Chenghui, even if it's for me, you have to live without me. You have to know that Dad and Yuxin both need you. Also, don't you want to compensate Qingsang? You think she's married. Can you forget about her and leave her alone when life is better? "
"Qianxue?"
"Okay." Li Qianxue retracted her hand and looked at him calmly. "I'm only talking about one possibility. It doesn't mean that anything will happen to me. In short, I want you to promise me. "
Su Chenghui calmed down. "Okay, I promise you."
"Let's go. Let's go downstairs for dinner. "
Li Qianxue looked at the time. If she didn't go downstairs, Old Master Li would become suspicious.
"Qianxue, when do you plan to go for a new physical examination?"
"I'll make another appointment with Doctor Zhong." Li Qianxue still trusted Doctor Zhong. If there were no accidents, she didn't want to change doctors.
"Okay. Then promise me to find a few more hospitals for a checkup? "
He was very persistent. Li Qianxue looked at him and finally nodded.
"Okay."
The two of them went downstairs together. When they arrived at the living room, their expressions were calm, and there was no trace of strangeness.
Old Master Li wanted to ask Li Qianxue what had happened, but seeing that Su Chenghui was also there, he didn't ask.
Instead, Su Chenghui took the initiative to tell Old Master Li that Su Peizhen had come out and the verdict.
Old Master Li immediately attributed Li Qianxue's reaction to the impact of Su Peizhen's incident.
That night, Su Chenghui didn't leave the Li family. Instead, he stayed at the Li family. If it were any other time, Li Qianxue would have asked someone to drive Su Chenghui out.
However, today was a special day, so she didn't think of driving Su Chenghui out.
Li Qianxue took a shower and came out of the bathroom. She saw Su Chenghui sitting on the sofa in the room waiting for her.
She didn't look at him and walked to the dresser to do some basic maintenance. At this time, Su Chenghui got up and walked behind her.
He placed his hands on her shoulders and used just the right amount of strength to massage her shoulders.
Li Qianxue didn't refuse him. She looked at Su Chenghui through the mirror. His usually elegant face still contained concern at this time, and the gaze he looked at her was very complicated.
But the easiest thing to see was worry. Li Qianxue, who felt uncomfortable under his gaze, retracted her gaze as she patted on the toner.
"It's getting late. Aren't you going home?"
"I'm not going back." Su Chenghui lowered his head and smelled the rose fragrance on her body. "Qianxue, from now on, you can't drive me away. I'll be wherever you are. "
Li Qianxue frowned slightly and looked at Su Chenghui. Her lips moved, but in the end, she pushed him away.
"Qianxue?" Su Chenghui's expression was hurt for a moment. Li Qianxue couldn't stand his gaze. "Go take a shower. You're so dirty. "
This meant that she tacitly agreed to let him stay. Su Chenghui couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek.
"Okay, I'll go take a shower."
Li Qianxue watched as his figure disappeared behind the bathroom. For a moment, she didn't know if her behavior was right or wrong.
She didn't wait for Su Chenghui. Instead, she took a book and went to bed. She turned on the bedside lamp on her side and opened the book. It was a short story by O 'Henry. She had always liked it, but now she couldn't quite get into it.
If she let Su Chenghui stay, what would happen next?
..
Su Chenghui soon came out. He just wrapped a bath towel around his waist and came out. Li Qianxue glanced at him from the corner of her eyes and then looked away.
She looked as if nothing had happened, but when Su Chenghui sat down beside her, her whole body stiffened.
They had been married for more than twenty years, but they had only had skin contact twice. Once before the wedding, and once after the wedding.
One time, there was Su Qingsang, and the other time, there was Su Yuxin.
Now, more than a year after their divorce, the couple was lying in the same bed again.
