In his complaining and aggrieved tone, Xia Tong finally couldn't help but laugh.
He is still the same as before - cute. It seems that he can face any problem with teasing and teasing. On the other hand, she herself is always in pain and can't get out of it.
When Xia Tong stood up, she accidentally touched the back of her hand where the needle hole was inserted, and she almost screamed out in pain.
Seeing this, Gu Haoran suddenly leaned over to the side where her intravenous drip was hanging, and smoothly pulled out the needle filled with nutrient solution on the back of her hand.
Xia Tong held his hand: "What are you doing?"
He smiled: "If you really want to live, you can survive without hitting this thing; if you want to die, wouldn't it be better to remove it?"
Xia Tong was speechless at his words.
He lifted her quilt and hugged her whole body. Xia Tong lost her balance and involuntarily hugged his neck, a little surprised: "What are you doing?"
"You haven't seen the sun for too long..." The corner of his mouth raised a nice curve: "As an ex-boyfriend, I feel it is my duty to save you..."
"..." Xia Tong: "Do you think you are the prince who saves Sleeping Beauty?"
He carried her out and walked out. Hearing this, he looked at her and said, "I must be the most miserable prince in history, because I am not saving Sleeping Beauty, but Sleeping Beauty's grandmother..."
"What grandmother...?" Xia Tong was a little confused. When he realized what he was doing, he couldn't help shouting: "You are Sleeping Beauty's grandmother! No, you are Sleeping Beauty's grandfather!"
He squinted and smiled: "This is a good relationship... Grandma and Grandpa of Sleeping Beauty are a perfect match. Xia Tong, is this a hidden confession?"
"……."
Outside the hospital, he carried her into the passenger seat of the car, then sat in the driver's seat, took out the keys and drove.
Her body was very weak after taking out the nutrient solution. Xia Tong was so tired that she couldn't breathe. She asked: "Where are we going?"
He blinked and said mysteriously: "It's secret."
****** *******
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the City A Museum. Xia Tong opened his eyes and looked at the majestic building in front of him, even more strange: "What are we doing here?"
He took her out and said, "You'll know when you get in."
Along the way, she was almost held in his arms, so tourists along the road occasionally cast curious looks at the two of them. Until later, Xia Tong couldn't help it anymore, struggled away and said, "Okay, I can go."
, you put me down."
He stopped: "Are you sure?"
"Yeah!" She nodded heavily, and then he put her down.
As soon as her toes touched the ground, Xia Tong almost lost her balance. Fortunately, with his support by her side, she managed to stand up. For the past few days, she had been lying on the hospital bed almost every day, and she suddenly had to stand up on her own.
, actually felt a little uncomfortable.
She never thought that one day, even standing would become a luxury for her, and she couldn't help but want to laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" He lowered his head and asked her.
Xia Tong immediately denied it: "Who is laughing? You must be an old woman!"
"……."
The two people walked into the museum hall with support. Looking at the huge promotional posters on the wall of the hall, Xia Tong was slightly startled: "French design master Alex's global tour..."
She paused and turned to look at him. He brought her here specially for this...?
Gu Haoran said: "I don't understand why Alex is so popular. Isn't he just a designer who is a little more advanced than a tailor? It's so hard to get a ticket. I spent a lot of effort to get it.
Two tickets. I didn’t know how to give them to you at first, but you happened to be seeking death, so I just happened to drag you here..."
"= =!" Xia Tong: "Do you think it's too late for me to seek death?"
He touched her head and smiled without saying a word.
"..." Xia Tong took the ticket and wondered: "But how do you know that I like Alex?"
"Did you say that?" He led her towards the ticket gate: "When we first met, didn't you tell my female companion with a proud face that the dress you were wearing was designed by the famous French designer Alex?
, it’s called ‘Dream Venus’, and it made her stunned for a while.”
Thinking of the past, Xia Tong felt a little emotional. At that time, she was still so passionate and wanted to have a place in the fashion industry through her own efforts. She didn't know why, less than a year later, she became what she is now.
A dejected look.
After checking the tickets, the two of them walked into the exhibition hall. He suddenly whispered beside her: "And I was attracted by your confident look at that time, as if you were not afraid of anything..."
****** ******
As soon as she entered the exhibition hall, Xia Tong's gloomy eyes suddenly shone like a bright spark injected into her eyes. Like a child with great thirst for knowledge, she walked from the beginning to the end of the exhibition hall, and then from the end again.
At the end, I looked at it carefully and sighed in admiration from time to time.
After watching for three hours, the two of them found a corner and sat down. He handed her a bottle of energy drink: "Drink a little."
Xia Tong was also very thirsty and drank several sips immediately.
"Are you happy?" He sat down next to her.
Xia Tong nodded immediately: "You don't know, I have been looking forward to this exhibition for a long time, but Alex has always been very low-key and mysterious. Since he became famous, he has only stayed in his studio to draw sketches, neither accepting invitations from powerful people nor
Holding an exhibition makes fans like me very helpless. I used to follow his news every day, for fear that I would miss some of his updates, but I didn’t expect that I would be completely unaware of such an important event as his global tour this time!”
Suddenly her expression dimmed again: "It's no wonder. After I got married, I've been around the kitchen almost every day, and my children and -" She paused: "It's not surprising that I don't know."
Seeing that her cheerful expression had dropped again, Gu Haoran said with a smile: "Let me tell you a story..."
Xia Tong looked at him, he thought for a while and said: "It is said that Alex was once very depressed before he became famous. He has been traveling around various clothing brand companies, but was not appreciated by others. In the most difficult time, he
There was only fifty francs left in his pocket. At that time, he saw a fashion design competition held by a well-known big-name company. Anyone who won the competition could receive a reward of 5,000 francs, and
You can sign a contract with this company and become its designer, but the registration fee alone costs 40 francs."
Xia Tong was a little fascinated when he heard this: "Then what?"
"Alex was already disillusioned with being a designer and planned to use the remaining 50 francs to buy a ticket home. But after seeing this competition, he resolutely participated, planning to give it a try one last time!
"
"……."
"A month after the competition, Alex had no place to live, so he had to beg his previous landlord. Seeing that he was really pitiful, the landlady moved a small utility room for him to stay temporarily. He stayed in that small utility room every night.
In the room, the street lamp drawings outside the window were reflected. And because he only had ten francs left on him, he had to eat the cheapest bread sticks every day. He did not dare to eat more, but only took a few bites when he was hungry. This state continued.
A whole month…”
Xia Tong was a little touched: "I didn't expect that a master like Alex would experience such a low ebb. What was the final result?"
He looked at her with a half-smile but said, "He is putting all his money on the line. If he didn't win in the end, would this design exhibition still exist today?"
"That's right!" Xia Tong suddenly patted his head: "Why was I confused again at this critical moment?"
He grabbed her hand and his expression suddenly became determined: "Xia Tong, Master Alex can persist in such difficult situations and work hard for his dreams, why can't you?"
She was stunned and speechless.
"There is no difficulty in this world that cannot be overcome. It is the stupidest behavior to abuse one's body for some unimportant things and people. Maybe you should be grateful that this child is gone, because without him, you will have
More power and opportunities to determine your own life development.”
"……."
"If this child is forced to be placed in a loveless family and the pain of the parents is extended to the child, do you think it is fair to him?"
Xia Tong pulled his hand away, was silent for a while and said: "You are right, this child did not come by chance. Originally, I thought he and I could work hard to create a good environment for him, but after what happened these days,
I discovered that we can't. The emotional foundation between Qin Mushi and I is very weak. It's like a multi-stranded domino. It seems solid, but it collapses instantly with a slight push... Now that I've tried hard,
If it doesn't work for so long, why not change the direction and choose another life..." She raised her head: "Gu Haoran, thank you, maybe I know what to do next..."
He laughed: "Now that you've figured it out, you should know what to do next, right?"
Xia Tong was confused: "What?"
He tapped her forehead: "Stupid, of course it's time to eat... Do you really think you are the invincible female Vajra who can live forever without touching a grain of rice?"
Xia Tong held his head and said depressedly: "That's not a female Vajra, but a Maitreya Buddha, right?"
"..." Gu Haoran: "Ahem, it's all the same..."
After walking out of the museum, Xia Tong realized that what Gu Haoran was driving today was not the flashy Rolls-Royce in the past, but a calm and elegant Range Rover.
It is said that this car is a collector's edition launched to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the birth of the Land Rover Liansheng brand. The body of the new car is made of breathtaking Barolo black, and the 20-inch diamond gloss finish alloy wheels are novel and eye-catching. Xia Tong has only been in
I had read about it in a magazine, and it was the first time I came into close contact with this military vehicle that exuded a noble aura, and I couldn't help but be very curious.
"Why did you change the car?" she asked.
He walked to the driver's seat and sat down, taking out the key: "How is it? The new car is good, isn't it?"
"I feel much calmer than before."
"Of course." He raised his eyebrows.
Unexpectedly, Xia Tong said again: "Actually, I always think that men who drive Rolls-Royces are all pretty boys..."
His smile paused and he gritted his teeth: "It was really hard for you before, being with a pretty boy like me for so long..."
Xia Tong sat in the passenger seat and patted his shoulder: "Poverty alleviation is everyone's responsibility..."
"……."
An hour later, Xia Tong rolled out of the porridge shop with a round belly, very satisfied. It was the first time in so many days that I had a full meal, and it felt so good.
In the car, he suddenly said slowly: "What, poor girl, I forgot to tell you something."
"What?" Xia Tong put on his seat belt.
"Alex was actually born into a noble family and became famous very early..."
Xia Tong's smile froze: "Then..."
"So there's no talent, there's only 50 francs left, there's design competitions, there's breadsticks..." he said with a smile, "They're all lies to you..."
"..." Xia Tong: Damn it, Bai is so moved!

Conference room on the 21st floor of Disheng.
Qin Muzhen sat at the head of the table, and a group of shareholders and department directors sat up around the long table.
He was holding the pen and seemed to be looking at the pile of things in his hand seriously. His frown was as if he didn't want to open it, and he kept struggling with it intermittently. After a long while, he suddenly put down the Parker pen in his hand, which had been tense.
His face softened slightly.
He said: "Today's meeting will be held here first, and we can discuss anything tomorrow."
Director Tang, who was talking, was stunned, and the others also looked at each other. What happened to Mr. Qin today? The meeting just started and he said it was going to end?
"Master Mu——" Nie Sheng said hesitantly.
Qin Muzhen leaned on the back of the chair behind him: "It's all gone..."
Seeing that he looked tired and didn't seem to want to talk anymore, the shareholders got up reluctantly and walked out one by one with dissatisfied expressions.
"You can leave too," he said to Nie Sheng.
"Mu Shaoxin, do you need to take a rest? You don't look too good."
"Need not."
Nie Sheng thought for a while and then withdrew.
Qin Muzhe was leaning on the back chair behind him, meditating for a long time. His eyebrows were always fixed and never relaxed. After a long while, he finally sighed, stood up, unbuttoned his suit, turned and walked out the door.
go.

At Anxin Hospital, he walked straight to the front desk and asked, "Is there a patient named Xia Tong who has stayed here?"
The nurse at the front desk flipped through the information and finally said, "Yes, Xia Tong, she had an induced labor operation in our hospital a week ago and is currently recovering. What is your relationship with Miss Xia..."
Induction surgery. Hearing these four words, the man's hands clenched unconsciously, and his tight lips uttered two words: "Husband."
Husband? The nurse at the front desk couldn't help but look at him a few times, and her voice began to tremble: "Ms. Xia is in ward 507. Do you need me... do you need me to take you up?"
"No need." After he said that, he walked straight towards the elevator.
