On the hospital bed, the woman was sleeping with a pale face and a slight scratch on her forehead, but it did not affect her beauty.
Leng Anyen watched quietly, maintaining this posture for a long time, like a petrified sculpture, but his heart was not as calm as his appearance, and his past experiences were as clear as an old movie.
It replayed before his eyes.
"Qiongqiong, if I were a pauper, would you marry me?" The young man's voice was like the crisp sound of silver porcelain, which sounded particularly pleasant.
"No," the girl raised her face, "I don't want to marry a pauper!"
"Then I know. I will work harder to become a rich man in the future. You must marry me then!" When the young man made the promise, his dark eyes flashed with determination.
"Then let's wait until you become a rich man!" The girl is always so sunny and her smile is like a flower that will never wither.
…
"Qiongqiong, don't leave... I can give you everything you want now!" One day, when the boy finally fulfilled his promise, the girl wanted to leave with a middle-aged man.
"I'm sorry An Chen, it's too late for everything you gave me..." The girl Juejue pulled away his hand and walked away from him step by step, refusing to look back no matter how many times he called her.
There was a dull pain in his chest, as if a scar from many years ago had been uncovered. Indeed, after she left, he lost all hope, thinking that everything he had worked hard for was just a mirror and had no meaning at all.
That night, he took a lot of sleeping pills. If his family hadn't found him in time, he might have disappeared from this world.
When he thought of this, the anger and hatred that Leng Anyen had been immersed in for many years started to surge like an erupting volcano.
"Any Chen, Any Chen..." The woman's thin voice brought him back to his senses.
Looking towards the place where the sound came from, Leng Anyen realized that Qin Qiong had woken up at some point and was looking at him with a horrified look, as if there was something terrible on him.
"An Chen, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so scary?" Qin Qiong asked softly. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw his bloodthirsty eyes, and she was really frightened.
Taking a deep breath, Leng Anyen forced himself to loosen his clenched fists and said, "It's okay. How are you injured?"
Hearing this, Qin Qiong's dark eyes were immediately covered with a layer of moisture, revealing grievance, "An Chen, I didn't expect that she was so ruthless that she could..."
There was a chill in the air, and although Leng Anyen had tried very hard to control it, he still couldn't help it when he heard these words.
"She has been taken away by the police," Leng Anyen interrupted. He could not stand any slander against Duan Mumu.
He knows best what his wife is like, no one needs to tell him!
"Ah?" Qin Qiong made a surprised expression.
Seeing her like this, Leng Anyen took a step forward, "The police will find out the truth of the matter!"
Qin Qiong's expression changed slightly at these words, almost imperceptibly, but Leng Anyen still caught it.
"An Chen, she must hate me so much to do that... In the coffee shop, she even splashed water on her face," Qin Qiong continued.
"Then what are you going to do?" Leng Anyen spoke slowly, looking at her with his dark eyes, and said word by word, "Your testimony will determine the final outcome of the entire case."
"I..." Qin Qiong bit her thin lips, her jade-like teeth shining pearly white under the light, showing a tangled expression.
Leng Anyen remained silent, waiting for her to speak, but she asked, "What do you want me to do?"
It seemed that she was asking for his opinion, but only he knew that she was hinting to him. In the past two days, she had tried to coax him more than once, but he refused.
"An Chen, I just want to be with you. I said that I had no choice but to leave. I was ill at that time. I didn't want to drag you down. I had to find such a reason to make you give up. I thought I would die.
But God still took pity on me, and it turned out to be a misdiagnosis in the end..." Qin Qiong rested her head on his chest and wrapped her hands tightly around his waist.
"Then why don't you come back?" He didn't want to investigate whether her words were true or false, but he always felt that such rhetoric was too cliché and a bit like a bloody romance drama.
"I was afraid that you would not want me, and I had already heard that you and Lan Yiran were together." She was right. After Leng Anyen narrowly escaped death, he no longer believed in love, and women treated him badly.
It's just a tool for entertainment and venting.
"You are such a proud person. I also heard that you were in danger because of me... I know your temper, how could you forgive me so easily?" Qin Qiong shed tears, which soaked into his shirt and stained his skin.
There was a coolness on his skin, all the way to his heart.
If it weren't for his repeated forbearance, he almost pushed her away, but he didn't.
"Since you know, why are you coming back now?" Since she knew that he would not forgive her easily, he would not forgive her a few years ago, and he will not forgive her now.
Qin Qiong raised her face, her long eyelashes were stained with glistening tears, and her black eyes were washed clearer by the tears, "I really couldn't help it this time, and I used up all my savings perfectly. If I mess up again this time
, I can’t pay off my debt even if I die, so I can only come here to ask for your help!”
"I've already helped you," Leng Anyen kept looking out the window, with no emotion in his dark eyes.
"I know, so I'm very grateful, but after An Chen saw you, I realized that I couldn't forget you at all. I still love you so much..." She hugged him tighter, so tight that he felt suffocated.
.
"Qin Qiong, I'm married. You know that I am a person who keeps my word. Marriage is a promise that will never be betrayed." Leng Anyhen's words were like a hammer falling on Qin Qiong's heart, and she hugged him around the waist.
My fingernails dug into my flesh.
"I understand, I don't ask you for anything else, I just ask you to let me stay by your side," Qin Qiong said softly, "I don't want a reputation, I don't want to live day and night, I just want to be able to see you when I think about you.
You, as long as I can hold you like this sometimes."
Suddenly, Leng Anyen pulled her away, "Why are you doing this?"
His cold look shocked her, "An Chen..."
"You can compromise like this, but I can't. I will not betray my wife, never!" Leng Anyen spoke in a low voice, his words clear.
"An Chen..." She didn't expect him to say this at all. While Qin Qiong was shocked, she was even more heartbroken.
"Qin Qiong, the past is in the past, do you understand?" Leng Anyen slowly let go of her, but was grabbed by her.
"Any Chen, are you really unwilling to give me a chance?" She was unwilling to give up.
Leng Anyen put her aside again, turned around and walked out. At this moment, he heard the person behind him say, "If she is gone, will you come back to me?"
He paused, and then his cell phone rang. It was lawyer Wang Mingtao calling.
When the call was connected, Wang Mingtao's voice was a little anxious, "Mr. Leng, the people at the police station said that people from the coffee shop have come forward to testify that before Mrs. Leng hit the person, she had a fierce conflict with the injured person, and even poured water on him.
Face soda…”
Leng Anyhen's heart dropped when she heard Wang Mingtao say again, "Now all the evidence is against Mrs. Leng."
"Is there no other way?" Leng Anyen frowned and took out a cigarette from his pocket with trembling hands, but he didn't light it for a long time.
"Yes, only if the injured person takes the initiative to clarify and then withdraws the lawsuit," Wang Mingtao's words made Leng Anyhen feel cold.
After taking two puffs of cigarette, he felt unwilling and asked in a low voice, "Are there no witnesses passing by?"
"No, everyone was taking a lunch break at that time, and the area was remote and few people passed by," Wang Mingtao finished speaking, then paused and spoke again, "All of this seemed to have been planned in advance...
"
Leng Anyen's hand holding the phone trembled, and she looked out the window at the dark night, only to see that the night suddenly became much darker.
Premeditated! Premeditated...
Duanmumu, this idiot, fell into someone else's trap so easily!
The phone was hung up, but he still maintained the posture of calling. It wasn't until the cigarette butts between his fingers burned him that the burning pain woke him up. Looking back, he looked at the woman lying on the hospital bed through the small window.
I feel that that beautiful face has become as scary as a snake demon.
In order to get him, she would do anything to get him, and even resort to such self-harming methods. She must be desperate!
——If she is gone, will you come back to me?
When he left the ward just now, Qin Qiong's words rang in his ears. They were Chi Guoguo's threats.
Although Leng Anyen has never been cannibalistic, this time he wanted to see what other tricks she could pull off.
Taking a deep breath, he threw away the cigarette butt on his fingertips, then kicked hard and pushed open the door of the ward.
*
A beam of bright light entered the small room, and Duanmu Mu slowly opened her eyes. She didn't expect that she could fall asleep in such an environment. It seemed that taking things easy, this sentence still applied to her.
Is it really safe? No one knows how she spent this night. It seems that this is the longest night in her life.
She stood up holding on to the wall. Her whole body was sore. She looked at the sunshine outside the window. Suddenly, she no longer had such a strong desire to get out of here.
Leng Anyen actually allowed her to be locked up here for a night. Although he didn't dare to say that he had great abilities, he still had the ability to bail a person out, but he didn't.
Was he angry that she had harmed the woman he loved most, and was he deliberately punishing her like this?
Duanmumu took a deep breath of air, but found that his chest was so tight, as if he had been punched!
These feelings between him and her are ultimately not worth the beauty of first love. Men are so ruthless!
If that's the case, then she can stay here for the rest of her life! She has a carved forehead.
It's just that she is a little reluctant to leave her two children, especially Xunxun. Although his inner fear has decreased a lot in the past six months, he can feel that he is still very attached to her.
Without her by his side, did he and Xiaotangxin sleep well last night?
Did you kick the quilt off?
What would they ask if they couldn't see her this morning?
A series of questions flooded into her mind, and she realized that once a woman becomes a mother, she will have too many worries!
There was the sound of footsteps walking at the door, and then someone called her name. She turned around in a daze, only to find that her face was cold, and when she reached out to touch it, there were tears.
I just don’t know if these tears are because I miss my child too much, or if I am sad for that person’s indifference?
She was carried away in a daze all the way, until she saw the sun in the sky, she felt as if she had just woken up from a dream. Wang Mingtao's voice sounded beside her, "Mrs. Leng, you are fine now, I will take you home first!"
It's the lawyer again, not him!
Duanmumu looked at this strange man. When she was at her lowest, he appeared in front of her repeatedly, and the person she shared the bed with didn't even look at her when she came out. He was embarrassed by her.
Are you afraid of being photographed by reporters, or are you always caring and guarding the woman you love the most?
"Is she okay?" Duanmumu couldn't help but ask.
Wang Mingtao was stunned, wondering who this person was referring to?
"Was she hit hard?" Duanmumu added, and Wang Mingtao finally realized what he was doing.
"Oh, I'm awake now. It's nothing serious. I have some skin scratches and a slight concussion." Wang Mingtao said, looking at Duanmumu's expression carefully, "Mr. Leng asked me to take you home first."
, let you take a bath and then go to the hospital."
Go to the hospital?
Duanmumu obviously didn't expect it, so he heard Wang Mingtao say again, "Mr. Leng said there are some misunderstandings that you and Miss Qin should resolve in person."
So that’s it!
As expected, he was in the hospital, accompanying his most beloved woman, and allowed her, his newlywed wife, to stay in his mind all night.
A chill began to spread from the top of her heart, cooling her limbs.
Duanmumu looked at herself up and down. She still had the same clothes as yesterday. She had specially dressed them up when she went to see Qin Qiong. Although there were some wrinkles after a night, it was not too bad, so she smiled and said, "There's no need to go home, just go straight."
Go to the hospital!"
Wang Mingtao was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect her to agree so readily, but then he added, "It would be better for Mrs. Leng to go home and wash up."
"Are you afraid that my bad luck will affect Miss Qin?" Duanmumu sneered, "She is in the hospital now, so she should have no less bad luck than me!"
After saying this, if Wang Mingtao persisted, he would be ignorant. He shook his head helplessly and opened the car door for Duanmumu.
The car drove into the hospital. Duanmumu got out of the car with Wang Mingtao and walked all the way to the door of the ward. Wang Mingtao stretched out his hand to knock on the door, but Duanmumu stopped him. She watched quietly——
At this moment, Qin Qiong was lying in Leng Anyen's arms on the hospital bed. The two of them were holding a book. From time to time, Qin Qiong would say something, and Leng Anyen would smile lightly.
Such a scene was warm and sweet, making Duan Mumu feel soft-hearted just looking at it. On the other hand, Wang Mingtao broke into a cold sweat on his back. He never expected that such a scene would happen in the ward.
Although he didn't know some things clearly, he could feel Leng Anyen's concern for Duan Mumu, but looking at such a scene at this moment, even Wang Mingtao felt confused.
"Excuse me, please," a nurse came over. Her low voice alarmed Duanmumu and everyone in the room.
The door of the room was suddenly pushed open by the little nurse, and the people inside and outside looked at each other without any barrier. The moment Leng Anyen saw Duanmu Mu, he visibly stiffened. He did not expect that she would come directly to the hospital, and even thought that she would come directly to the hospital.
With her temper, it might be normal for her not to come at all.
Leng Anyen moved his eyes away from Duanmumu's face and looked at Wang Mingtao. With just one glance, Wang Mingtao lowered his eyes. This action told him all the answers. They must have seen everything.
Duanmumu walked in, and Leng Anyen let go of Qin Qiong, stood aside, and asked, "Why didn't you go home?"
She looked at him, her dark eyes seemed to be covered with haze, and her emotions could not be clearly seen. She could only see the corners of her lips raised slightly, "Didn't you ask me to come to the hospital to resolve the misunderstanding face to face?"
A rhetorical question left Leng Anyen speechless.
Duanmu didn't look at Leng Anyen's expression, but fixed his gaze on Qin Qiong's face. She was also looking at her, their eyes intertwined, with a look of astonishment that no one wanted to admit defeat.
"Mrs. Leng, I didn't mean to ruin your marriage with An Chen, but how could you be so cruel to me?" Unexpectedly, Qin Qiong spoke first, and she opened her mouth with accusations.
Clear tears fell down the cheeks, formed two streams on the cheeks, meandered through the pink cheeks, and finally stopped for a moment on the chin before falling.
That voice, that expression, and those tears were so pitiful. At this moment, even Duanmu Mu felt like he was a heinous sinner.
However, the person who was really wrong was not her, but the crying woman in front of her.
She must have performed this trick for Leng Anyen to see, because except for him, no one would feel sorry for such false tears.
"Apologise!" Just when Duanmumu was laughing at all this in his heart, suddenly, a cold voice broke everything.
Duanmu looked at the source of the sound as if he was hallucinating, and saw that his face was cold, but there was clearly an incomprehensible pain in his eyes.
"Mr. Leng..." Wang Mingtao was on the side and seemed to be shocked by those two words.
"I asked you to apologize, didn't you hear me?" Leng Anyen spoke again. His tall body was already standing in front of Duanmumu, and the cold air on his body seemed to freeze him to death.
Before, he felt that he had heard wrongly, but now Duanmumu finally understood that his so-called resolution of the misunderstanding was just to ask her to say sorry to the woman he loved.
It's a pity that she can't!
Don't say she's right, even if she's wrong, she won't say it!
Everyone has their own dignity and bottom line, but this woman robbed her husband and yet asked her to apologize again. There is no such cheap thing in this world!
A cold smile slowly rose at the corner of her lips, like an injured butterfly. Even though she knew that flapping her wings would only pull the wound and aggravate the pain, she still stubbornly flapped her wings...
"What if I don't?" she said softly.
Snapped!
The next second, a crisp sound fell on her face!
Everything came to a sudden stop, it seemed that even the world stopped at this second.
She heard the sound of the air flowing, the sound of her heart breaking, and Qin Qiong's sobs of grievance, but she could not hear his heartbeat, as if the man standing in front of her was a heartless stone sculpture.
