Epilogue Husband—really refers to the person who stays together for a lifetime
New York, "Lingtian" Branch.
There was a respectful knock on the door.
Ji Lingtian, who was watching the construction progress of the Tsol project played on the back projector, said calmly, "Come in."
The secretary came in from the outside with a slightly embarrassed tone, "President, Miss Ren, she..."
"Ling Tian!"
Before Ji Lingtian's secretary in New York could inform him, Ren Qingle, dressed elegantly, had already walked in.
Ji Lingtian gently shook the red wine glass in his hand, his eyes still on the huge set screen.
Ren Qingle waved to Ji Lingtian's secretary and motioned for her to go down.
The secretary looked at Ji Lingtian hesitantly.
Ji Lingtian said to his secretary, "Get out!"
The secretary nodded, then stepped back and closed the door for them.
Ren Qingle put down the bag in her hand and walked towards Ji Lingtian on her long and beautiful legs with high heels.
"Ling Tian..."
Ji Lingtian did not respond to Ren Qingle, but picked up the red wine glass in his hand and took a sip.
Ren Qingle quickly snatched the red wine glass from Ji Lingtian's hand and took an elegant sip. "The red wine produced by CL Winery in 1992 is the best red wine produced by CL Winery in the past ten years. It is no longer available on the market.
The vintage red wine...sure enough, tastes good."
Ji Lingtian raised his eyes and glanced at Ren Qingle. The darkness in his eyes was as hard to guess as his original expression.
Ren Qingle put down his wine glass, turned around seductively, and sat on Ji Lingtian's lap with his legs crossed.
Ji Lingtian looked at Ren Qingle, still pursed his thin lips.
Ren Qingle put her hand around Ji Lingtian's neck and said coquettishly, "Are you still angry with me?"
Ji Lingtian narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her as if sizing up.
Ren Qingle muttered aggrievedly, "We have been dating for more than two months, but even my closest friends don't know that I am with you... That day I really just wanted to introduce my friend to you.
, how did I know that what was originally a good private party would be joined one by one by friends of friends, and there would be so many people I didn’t know for no reason. I really didn’t mean to let the whole world know about our relationship.
"
Ji Lingtian's gloomy handsome face slowly relaxed, and there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
Ren Qingle frowned, "Why are you smiling so shamelessly?"
Ji Lingtian put his clean hands on Ren Qingle's slender waist and rubbed it carefully. There was still a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "There is a saying that there is no annihilation without negotiation!"
"Then why are you laughing?"
"I'm laughing. Is every woman a born liar?"
Ren Qingle's index finger, dyed with red nail polish, touched Ji Lingtian's lips, and spat out in embarrassment, "Okay, I admit that I know that my friend is a lively person, but I still drag you to participate in that semi-public event.
The private party was a little selfish, but did you notice that my vanity was greatly satisfied that night? My female friends were envious and jealous when they saw me with you.
Even though you already have a wife."
Ji Lingtian lifted Ren Qingle's beautiful chin, "Are you finally willing to tell the truth?"
Ren Qingle held Ji Lingtian Junsi's face with both hands, pursed his lips and kissed his face, and begged for mercy in a childish tone like a child who had made a mistake, "If I don't tell the truth, you will ignore me... so
, I’m sorry, please forgive me.”
"Have I ever told you that I don't like women lying to me the most."
Ji Lingtian stared at Ren Qingle. He had a smile on his face and did not look lethal at all, but his eyes were sinister.
Ren Qingle was not intimidated by Ji Lingtian's aura at the moment. Her soft body twisted gently on Ji Lingtian's legs, and her pleasant voice was sexy and charming, "Selfish and domineering men are like this... But they can never resist women.
You are confused." After saying this, she turned her head and kissed him.
Ji Lingtian watched her delicate face slowly approach, and suddenly he pushed her onto the sofa.
Ren Qingle put her hands on his lowered body, blinked her eyelids, and looked at him with playful eyes that pretended to be fearful, "You don't really want to punish me, do you?"
"Are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid...but if you really want to punish me, my little girl, I can only...I can only commit to you for the rest of my life."
"You little goblin..."
Pulling Ren Qingle's hand away from his chest, Ji Lingtian lowered his body and kissed her hard.
A faint moan could not be suppressed from his throat. Ren Qingle's hand gradually climbed up from his back to Ji Lingtian's neck, and his slender fingers were immersed in his thick black hair.
At the moment when passion was about to explode, a harsh vibration suddenly penetrated each other's eardrums.
Ji Lingtian ignored it at first, but the vibration continued...
Finally, Ji Lingtian let go of Ren Qingle underneath him, took out his cell phone, and glanced at the number displayed on the phone.
Seeing the number, Ji Lingtian pressed the answer button without any consideration.
However, Ren Qingle snatched the phone away and threw it aside casually, while his hands continued to hook Ji Lingtian's neck downward.
Ji Lingtian lowered his body and said to Ren Qingle, who had charming eyes below him, "I have to answer the phone."
Ren Qingle saw the warning in Ji Lingtian's eyes, and his hand slowly loosened its grip like a vine.
Ji Lingtian zipped up his suit, picked up the cell phone beside him, stood up, and pressed the answer button. "Hello."
"Daddy, why did you answer the phone..." Qian Qian's anxious voice came from the phone.
"I'm sorry, Daddy..."
"Daddy, Mommy is gone, I can't find Mommy..."
"What?" Ji Lingtian frowned.
Qin Ziqian cried out, "I don't know where Mommy is. I couldn't get through when I called her. It's already nine o'clock in the evening..."
"Have you asked the servants at home?"
"They all said Mommy went out... But Mommy usually comes back very early even if she goes out. She has never stayed out until dark before coming home..."
"Didn't you see her when you came back from school today?"
"Uh-huh."
"Don't worry, listen to daddy, go back to your room and do your homework now, your mommy will be fine."
"But I'm so scared..."
"There are so many servants at home. If you are really afraid, daddy can call the contact person to find your mommy, and then call and chat with you, okay?"
"Okay...Daddy, you have to find mommy quickly, I miss mommy..."
"Well, be good, go back to your room and do your homework first."
…
After finishing the call with Qian Qian, the wrinkles between Ji Lingtian's brows deepened.
Ren Qingle stood next to Ji Lingtian with his arms folded and asked curiously, "Why, your wife is missing?"
You'd better not interfere with my private affairs." Ji Lingtian said this indifferently, and put the phone he was dialing to his ear.
Sure enough, Qin Zixin's mobile phone was turned off.
Ji Lingtian cursed impatiently and dialed another number.
After the phone was connected, he coldly ordered the person on the phone, "Check Qin Zixin's whereabouts."
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
City y, xx hospital.
Qin Zixin stared blankly at the ceiling of the ward, her face so pale that there was no trace of blood.
Gu Yuchen sat on the edge of the bed, clenching his fists tightly, his eyes moist.
Doctor, is there anything you can do?
I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, because Miss Qin has already had a heart transplant operation before, but the effect was not satisfactory. This only means that her body cannot accept the transplanted organ. Therefore, even if Miss Qin undergoes the operation, it will be in vain...
I don’t care, no matter how much it costs, I still want you to cure her!!
Sorry, I don’t think hospitals around the world can do anything...
The doctor's words were repeated in Gu Yuchen's ears over and over again. His eyes were filled with tears, but he could only grit his teeth tightly.
"Imperial minister, what time is it now?" Qin Zixin suddenly asked.
Gu Yuchen shouted angrily, "At this time, you are still asking these irrelevant questions. Do you know that you are about to die?"
Qin Zixin spit out calmly, "The doctor told me more than two months ago that my body would not last a year... I just didn't expect that the situation would deteriorate so quickly, with only three months left!"
Gu Yuchen punched the white wall beside him with his fist, gritted his teeth and said, "You should stay in the hospital, why do you still have time to hang around outside for more than two months?"
"Imperial minister, don't feel sorry for me... In fact, it's a miracle that I can survive to this day."
"No..." Gu Yuchen pressed forward and held Qin Zixin's hand, covering her cold hand with his warm palm, and said resolutely, "Your life will never stop here, I will never allow it!"
!”
"Imperial minister..."
"Damn it, stop talking, just lie down for me... I swear, you will live a long life."
Qin Zixin had always told herself not to cry, but at this moment when she saw Gu Yuchen crying like a big boy, tears gathered in her eyes uncontrollably. She tried her best to suppress the lump in her throat and answered with a chuckle,
Qin Zixin smiled and said, "I just said don't contact Ruoying, otherwise that girl will definitely be like you now..."
"Zi Xin..."
Gu Yuchen looked at Qin Zixin with eyes filled with self-blame and guilt.
Qin Zixin acted as if nothing had happened, "Hey, you haven't told me what time it is yet... It's already dark, and I have to rush back, otherwise my daughter will be home alone."
Gu Yuchen's low and hoarse voice was serious, "From now on you must stay in the hospital, you are not allowed to go anywhere!!"
"Imperial minister, you should know that even if I am hospitalized now, my body cannot..."
"Damn it, if you had been hospitalized earlier, at least your body would not have deteriorated so quickly, and I would have had more time to fight for the chance to cure you!!"
"Fool, if I were in the hospital, would you still be able to meet me?"
"Don't give me strong arguments...you are not allowed to go anywhere!!"
"Imperial minister..."
Just when Qin Zixin was begging Gu Yuchen, a nurse pushed in the door from outside and asked, "Has the patient contacted his family members? If he is going to be hospitalized, the doctor must talk to the patient's real relatives."
Qin Zixin answered the nurse, "I'm sorry, I'm not hospitalized. I'll be discharged now."
Gu Yuchen said to the nurse with a livid face, "What she said doesn't count!"
"I am a patient, and before my immediate family comes, I have the right to decide whether to leave the hospital!" Qin Zixin insisted.
"Zi Xin!!"
Looking at the tense atmosphere, the nurse dared to whisper, "If you want to be discharged from the hospital, please go through the discharge procedures now, because if you do it later, you will have to be hospitalized."
After the nurse finished speaking, she left.
"Imperial minister, can you bring my mobile phone? I want to make a call to my daughter."
Gu Yuchen took out the mobile phone from Qin Zixin's bag and handed it to her.
When Qin Zixin was about to make a call, she realized that her phone was out of battery. "Damn it, the phone is out of battery. Qianqian must be worried that it's broken..." She thought it was just dark, but she actually worked for several hours.
examine.
Qin Zixin turned over and prepared to get out of bed.
"Are you sure you want to be discharged?"
"I'm fine now. Of course I want to be discharged from the hospital."
Gu Yuchen angrily held Qin Zixin's weak shoulders, "Can you listen to my advice and stay in the hospital?"
Qin Zixin looked at Gu Yuchen with wide eyes, "Are you sure you want to spend the rest of my time in the hospital?"
Sadness rushed to Gu Yuchen's throat, and he could no longer speak.
Qin Zixin's weak face forced a smile, "Help me go through the discharge procedures..."
"I want to ask, does Ji Lingtian know about this?"
Qin Zixin took a deep breath and shook his head.
Gu Yuchen shouted, "He is your husband, but he doesn't even know that you are so seriously ill?"
For a moment, pain flashed across Qin Zixin's eyes, but it only passed away for a moment. She said, "He and I are just a little better than strangers. It's normal for him to not know my physical condition."
"But he is your husband!!"
"Stop talking...can you lend me your mobile phone and give me a call? I want to tell Qianqian that she is safe."
Gu Yuchen took out his cell phone.
Qin Zixin took the phone and hurriedly dialed the number. "Don't cry, don't cry... Silly daughter... Mommy is such a big person, how could she disappear? Little fool... Mommy is fine... Be good.
...Mommy will be home soon..."
After telling Qian Qian that she was safe, Qin Zixin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
…
Under Qin Zixin's repeated insistence, Gu Yuchen helped Qin Zixin to be discharged from the hospital.
This time, Qin Zixin could no longer refuse Gu Yuchen's request to send her home.
In the carriage, Gu Yuchen's suit jacket was draped over Qin Zixin's body, and her face regained some color due to her warm body.
"Imperial minister."
"What's wrong?"
Gu Yuchen nervously supported her.
Qin Zixin smiled lightly, "Don't be nervous, I mean you are going back to City T tomorrow morning? You should go home and rest early now."
"Do you think I will go to City T again?"
"Why not?"
"I said, I will cure you no matter what."
"You have your job..."
"Without you, what else would I have to do?"
Gu Yuchen's sudden roar startled the taxi driver.
Qin Zixin was also stunned for a second.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have spoken so loudly to you... My mood tonight... I'm sorry." Gu Yuchen clenched his fists and turned to look out the window.
Qin Zixin also fell silent.
After Gu Yuchen adjusted his mood, he turned around and said, "You just gave the hospital a sum of money."
"I don't want others to know about my physical condition." Qin Zixin said truthfully.
"Qin Zixin, let me tell you, I don't care why you didn't tell Ji Lingtian about your physical condition, but I am very sure that he has nothing to do with your body becoming what it is today... If your body is really
It cannot be cured, I swear, I will never let Ji Lingtian have an easy time in this life!"
Qin Zixin was about to say something to appease Gu Yuchen, when Gu Yuchen's cell phone suddenly rang.
Gu Yuchen took out his mobile phone and took a look at it, and saw that the words "Ji Lingtian" were displayed on it. Because of the Tsol project, they had already had each other's number.
Qin Zixin accidentally saw the number on Gu Yuchen's cell phone and gasped instantly.
After Gu Yuchen answered the call, he put it directly to his ear.
Qin Zixin could clearly hear their conversation in the narrow carriage.
"Let Qin Zixin answer the phone."
Ji Lingtian's cold and indifferent voice came from Gu Yuchen's cell phone.
Gu Yuchen was full of anger and was about to explode, but Qin Zixin took the mobile phone from Gu Yuchen's hand first and immediately put it to her ear, "I'm here." She couldn't let Gu Yuchen talk nonsense.
"Qin Zixin, is this how you become a guardian?" Ji Lingtian asked coldly on the phone.
Qin Zixin said calmly, "I know I'm late going home tonight, but I've already called Qianqian, and I'm on my way home now." Ji Lingtian would call Gu Yuchen's cell phone and ask her to answer it. Obviously
She has already investigated her whereabouts and knows that she came out with Gu Yuchen today, so she does not need to explain to him.
“The progress with old friends is really rapid!!”
"What do you want to say?"
Ji Lingtian burst out angrily, "Do you know that your daughter is crying for you at home, but you didn't come home until midnight after playing with a man?!"
"Ji Lingtian, please speak respectfully. It's only nine to ten o'clock now. This is not the middle of the night. Besides, I'm just going out to eat with my friend. Don't make it sound like he and I are shady."
After hearing Ji Lingtian's cynicism towards Qin Zixin on the phone, Gu Yuchen clenched his fists and wished he could punch Ji Lingtian right now.
"Just because I give you freedom doesn't mean you don't need to stay on your toes and don't let it happen again!!"
If it were in the past, Qin Zixin would definitely have a quarrel with Ji Lingtian at this moment, but today, she really didn't have much energy to argue with him.
At this moment, she leaned back on the chair tiredly, "Are you done?"
Without waiting for Ji Lingtian's answer, a young and sweet coquettish female voice came from the phone, "Lingtian, after you finish the call, there is no call. I'm so hungry. Let's go out to eat!"
Even through the phone call, Qin Zixin could hear that it was Ren Qingle's voice.
"Don't do anything that violates the tacit understanding between us. You should know that I can make you feel better now, or I can make it harder for you!"
Qin Zixin closed her eyes in pain and did not answer him again.
Toot——
The call finally ended at this moment.
"Imperial minister, return your cell phone to you."
Gu Yuchen's anger had covered the entire carriage, and he said hoarsely, "Is this how you and Ji Lingtian get along?"
Qin Zixin had no explanation, and could no longer hide her weakness as she spat out, "Please, let me lean on you quietly for a while."
Gu Yuchen temporarily put aside his anger and asked, "Are you cold?"
"It's not cold, your clothes are very warm."
"Okay, you can sleep for a while."
"Um."
…
Gu Yuchen sent Qin Zixin to the door of Ji Lingtian's villa in City Y.
The servant opened the door for Qin Zixin.
Qin Zixin, who seemed to be fine, did not forget to remind Gu Yuchen before saying goodbye to him, "You promised to keep my affairs secret, I hope you can do it."
"Zi Xin..."
"Okay, please leave quickly. If my daughter sees you, she will definitely misunderstand us."
"You can ask me to promise you, but you must also promise me a condition."
"you say."
"There must be a family doctor who knows first aid where you live."
"Um."
"I'm calling you, you have to answer it."
"good."
"besides……"
Qin Zixin smiled and took over what Gu Yuchen said, "I will take good care of myself. There will always be someone around me to follow me. I will never go anywhere alone. Also, I will definitely not fail to answer your calls or see you."
"Okay, take care of yourself."
"I know, go back quickly!"
Qin Zixin pushed Gu Yuchen into the taxi.
Watching the taxi leave, the smile on Qin Zixin's face finally faded away due to the weakness of her body.
After taking a deep breath, she turned around and walked into the villa.
ps: There will be two to three more updates today.
