The bright sunshine in the morning shone in through the car window and fell right on Xi Lanting's face. His face was too pale, his eyelashes were drooped, and were stained with gold powder by the scorching sun, making him even more sickly and sickly.
He spoke in a soft voice. He was obviously very weak, but he seemed lazy: "The Su family has only one son for three generations. He regards his son as his destiny. If you marry into the Su family, you might as well sell yourself into slavery."
Yun Qiao: "Oh."
"Who chose the person?" Xi Lanting spoke again.
Yun Qiao: "My mother."
She paused and then asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Xi Lanting raised his eyes, his eyes illuminated by the sun were a little shallow, but his gaze seemed to be captivating.
"I was harmed by someone." He said calmly, "A... cruel and cruel woman. Women are really unreasonable."
Yun Qiao: "...why are you being unreasonable?"
"It would take me more than a year and a half to finish this." Xi Lanting smiled and gently unbuttoned the collar with her fingers to make herself breathe easier.
Yun Qiao saw a little skin on his chest.
Cold and white, without any warmth, just like his hands.
"What are you looking at?" Xi Lanting turned his head and caught her eye-catching gaze. His weak eyes suddenly became more narrow-minded.
Yun Qiao: "You look good."
Xi Lanting: "Call me Uncle Qi. I don't care about you, no matter how big or small you are."
Yun Qiao: "..."
When we arrived at the hospital, the nurse was Chinese, but the doctors all had Western faces.
Xi Lanting's temples were covered in cold sweat. He tried to remain calm on the face, but in reality he was in terrible pain and walked very slowly.
He refused to let his attendants support him, only Yun Qiao could hold his hand.
His hands were still cold, even colder than before, as if they were holding ice cubes. His palms were wet and covered with cold sweat.
Following the lead, Yun Qiao slowly helped Xi Lanting into the last consulting room.
This time it's a Chinese face.
The young doctor hurriedly stood up and supported Xi Lanting: "Seventh Master!"
"It's okay, the old habit happened again." Xi Lanting was weak and his voice was hoarse and could not be heard clearly.
Yun Qiao and his entourage were driven out of the door by the doctor.
They both waited for a long time.
Yun Qiao was spinning three bronze coins around in her fingers, not knowing what she was calculating. She didn't know either, she was just spinning them around.
About half an hour later, the doctor came out.
There was a small lounge in the consulting room, and the doctor arranged for Xi Lanting to lie down temporarily.
"Give him an injection. He needs to sleep for a while." The doctor said to the attendant. "It will take about two hours of rest and another injection before he can go back. If you are bored, go for a walk."
After that, he saw Yun Qiao again and turned his eyes to her, "Are you...a relative of the Xi family?"
Why didn't you guess that I was his female companion when he said he was a relative?
The doctor seemed to understand Yun Qiao's expression and explained with a smile: "Master Qi has always been cautious and refused to have an affair with a woman. If he was not a relative, he would never have allowed you to send her here."
Yun Qiao: "..."
No one told her this.
"I am..." Yun Qiao didn't know how to describe her relationship with Xi Lanting, so she had to bite the bullet and said, "I am his niece, and my surname is Yun."
doctor:"……"
The Xi family came from a very well-established family, and the doctor didn't know quite what kind of niece this young lady was, so he didn't ask any more questions.
"Are you going out for a walk or going in to stay with Master Qi?" the doctor asked her.
Yun Qiao didn't even think about it: "I'll stay with him."
doctor:"……"
He let Yun Qiao go in and walked out, shaking his head helplessly: "Another poor sad person."
There have been too many women who have admired Master Qi over the years, some as beautiful as Miss Yun, but in the end they all ended up heartbroken.
