Chapter 2039
Mr. Ye's condition is very stable, and Ye Qingqiu stayed with him in the ward for two hours.
"There are people guarding here, you go back and rest."
Li Tingshen stayed by her side all the time, and after looking at his watch countless times, he finally spoke in a deep voice.
Ye Qingqiu shook his head and refused to leave.
The ward became quiet for a while, and the sound from the medical equipment became very clear.
After a long time, Li Tingshen got up from the sofa and walked to her side.
"Get up, I'll take you back."
An impatience flashed across Ye Qingqiu's face, "Are you finished?"
Li Ting stared deeply at the hair on the top of her head that was enclosed in a circle of light, with an indifferent expression, "Didn't you say you were going to Grandma Bo's house for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Ye Qingqiu's face froze suddenly.
The head exploded with a "boom".
Pro? !
Noticing her instantly stiff body, Li Ting closed his eyes deeply and his voice was hoarse.
"Grandpa is guarded here. You can rest assured. Since you promised to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with them, don't let people wait for you. It's not good."
After a pause, Li Tingshen slowly reached out and grabbed her shoulder.
"I'll take you there."
"Need not!"
Ye Qingqiu stood up suddenly as if he had been stabbed by something, and shook off Li Tingshen's hand.
Realizing that her reaction was too exaggerated, her eyes flickered and she took a breath.
"I mean... I'll go back by myself."
Li Ting pursed his lips deeply and locked her nervous face, and said in a hoarse voice after a moment of silence:
"...I'll just take you there without going in, can't I?"
Ye Qingqiu's eyes trembled suddenly, she felt that she had heard wrong.
From the first time she met Li Tingshen when she was young, she had never heard such pleading and consulting words from his mouth.
What's more, he has everything now, holds power in his hands, calls the wind and rain, and is domineering and powerful. This kind of low-key tone should not come out of his mouth.
But why?
Just because he wanted to send her home, he put on such a gesture.
"What if I say no?"
Li Ting closed his eyes deeply, and the voice in his throat seemed to be pulled out by him, "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival... let's go together... in a while."
"You didn't say you wouldn't go in."
"Don't go in." Li Tingshen stepped forward and held her arm, his black eyes locked tightly on her fair and bright face, and his hoarse voice seemed to come through thick fog, "...on the road."
Ye Qingqiu watched him silently for a while.
It took a long time before he calmly looked away, and then spoke again with a calm and indifferent voice.
"If I don't agree, are you going to spend the night with me?"
Li Ting pursed his lips deeply and said nothing.
Let it be.
*
After getting in the car, Ye Qingqiu sat in a corner, looking out of the car window expressionlessly from the side.
Li Tingshen got into the car from the other side, and there was a long distance between the two of them.
Halfway through the journey, there was silence.
Xiao Chu only felt that the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
The old man survived this hurdle, but did these two people always intend to continue this stalemate?
One is more stubborn than the other, how should it end?
Ye Qingqiu held the hand by his side tightly all the time.
He didn't believe in Li Tingshen, or perhaps he was even more afraid of "accidents".
Everything that happened three years ago was unexpected.
Including that she was outside the operating room today, and she was also worried about what might happen.
And now, even if Li Tingshen really can't go in as he said in the end, but he doesn't know if there will be any other things, as long as he steps into that door...
She couldn't imagine the consequences she was facing.
But she had to go back.
She promised Lin Lin that she would spend the holiday with him.
No matter how difficult it is, you can't break your promise to him.
Otherwise, she will be disappointed, sad, and sad when she comes to Linlin, and she may cry in a place where others can't see.
At the thought of this possibility, her heart shrank with pain.
Those days when I secretly hid and cried, it was so sad.
She doesn't want to.
The index finger around his mouth made a few obvious teeth marks. The further the car drove, the tighter the thread in his mind became.
There was a rustling sound coming from beside her, and she had no time to take care of it, but not long after, Li Ting stretched out his hand in front of her.
She lowered her eyes, and saw that the slender and well-defined knuckles were pinching a half-broken moon cake.
"You should eat more later, so let's eat half of it first."
A low-pitched voice in the carriage seemed to contain a hint of joy that was better than nothing. Ye Qingqiu paused, then turned to look at the man.
In the dimly lit carriage, only half of the man's side face could be vaguely seen, his black eyes quietly looking at her, purely wanting her to take the mooncake.
Putting her eyes on the mooncake again, her eyes flickered, and she raised her hand to take it.
He said that he wants to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together on the road...
Under his undiverted gaze, she took a light bite.
Seeing her eat it, Li Tingshen pulled his lips, glanced at the remaining half of the mooncake in his hand, and handed it to his mouth.
Xiao Chu, who was driving in front, also felt sore.
"It's...it's the first time I've seen President Li eating mooncakes."
But... is this also the Mid-Autumn Festival?
Forget it.
After all, in the past three years, no one spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with Mr. Li, no one ate moon cakes or reunion dinner with him.
Including other festivals, he has always been alone.
Ye Qingqiu felt a burst of soreness welling up, choked in his throat, the mooncake stuck in his mouth, unable to spit or swallow.
In the end, she took another bite of the mooncake, swallowed it whole, and swallowed the mooncake choked in her throat mixed with sourness.
The car soon heard that in front of Mrs. Bo's small villa, Li Tingshen had finished eating the mooncakes, and Ye Qingqiu still had some.
As soon as the car stopped, Ye Qingqiu couldn't wait to turn around and want to open the door.
Xiao Chu got out of the car first.
Ye Qingqiu was pulled back.
She froze and turned to look at Li Tingshen.
"you said before……"
"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival."
Li Tingshen opened his mouth lightly, and the four words instantly blocked Ye Qingqiu's blurted words, making her feel ashamed as if she was a villain.
"...Happy Mid-Autumn Festival."
She hesitated for a few seconds, then left four words coldly, then turned and opened the car door.
Li Ting let go of her hand and didn't keep her anymore.
Xiao Chu sent all the gifts prepared in the trunk to the villa, and ran three times alone before finishing them.
Wan Wan was playing with Lin Lin, when she saw a toy, she pulled Lin Lin and walked over from the side.
Xiao Chu put all the presents neatly aside, turned around and said Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to the people in the room, and suddenly saw the two children next to him, and his gaze was fixed directly on Lin Lin.
He instantly felt like a thunderbolt.
The expression gradually became shocked, and Ye Qingqiu turned to the side with his mouth wide open.
When Ye Qingqiu realized it, it was too late, so he had to step forward and block Lin Lin.
"looking at what?"
Xiao Chu withdrew his gaze, slowly closed his mouth, and shook his head, "No...no, I'm just leaving."
As for how he got out, he himself has no memory.
that child...
It wasn't until he got in the car for a long time that he rubbed his face hard.
Li Tingshen kept looking sideways at the brightly lit villa through the car window, with a trace of nostalgia deep in his eyes.
"Boss Li..."
Xiao Chu's somewhat stiff voice suddenly sounded.
Li Tingshen did not respond.
"I just saw... a little boy in the villa."
Only then did Li Ting's deep eyes move, and he glanced at the villa again, then slowly looked away.
"It looks like you... and I think Miss Ye is very wary of me, doesn't she..."
"drive."
Li Tingshen's calm reaction made Xiao Chu pause, but within a few seconds, he came to his senses.
Mr. Li, this is... already known.
On the way back, Xiao Chu was silent all the way, after thinking about it, he gradually sorted out the messy things in his head.
"President Li, why don't you expose it?"
The sweetness of the mooncakes still remained in his mouth, Li Tingshen slowly opened his long eyes, and was silent for a while.
"She doesn't even want me to send her off now."
If she finds out, will she take the child and try her best to hide together.
Xiao Chu pursed her lips, "But you can't always pretend you don't know."
"Look how long she wants to hide from me."
He promised Shen Fanxing not to use the child as a bargaining chip.
He used the wrong method back then, and he couldn't repeat the same mistakes and hurt them again.
Xiao Chu really felt that there was a suffocation in his heart, which was terribly suffocated.
Even he, a bystander, felt this way. He couldn't imagine what the overly calm man behind him was enduring.
*
When it was finally confirmed that Li Tingshen's car had finally left, Ye Qingqiu bent over and hugged Lin Lin tightly in his arms.
"Linlin, I'm sorry... Mom is late."
Linlin pursed her mouth tightly, her eyes were flushed, and tears rolled in her eyes.
"It's okay... Linlin knows that mom will definitely come..."
He buried his head in Ye Qingqiu's arms, hugged her neck tightly with both hands, and still couldn't help sobbing in a low voice.
Ye Qingqiu felt like his heart was broken.
If Li Tingshen hadn't reminded her, tonight...she would really disappoint Lin Lin.
He trusted her so much...
The old lady Bo had tears in the corners of her eyes.
"This child doesn't cry or make trouble, just waiting for you to come back. I have never seen such an obedient and sensible child."
Ye Qingqiu nodded, stood up holding Linlin in his arms, "Grandma Bo, I'm... bothering you today."
"Don't bother me! I'm old and I wish there would be more excitement. I just like being with you kids! Lin Lin is so cute."
"Linlin also likes Grandma too."
"Grandma... ouch, this little mouth is so sweet..."
Linlin's voice was still a little crying, and the hearts of those who listened were soft.
"Didn't you wait for mom to eat mooncakes together? Hurry up and let mom have a bite. This child, I have to wait for you to come back to eat mooncakes..."
Ye Qingqiu hugged Linlin and sat down on the sofa. Hearing what the old lady said, he looked down at Linlin.
Hearing this, Linlin moved his body and wanted to get off Ye Qingqiu's body, a pair of dark eyes glanced anxiously and blankly, and raised his hands to feel in the air.
"Aunt Shen... Linlin's mooncakes..."
Aunt Shen said to help him put it away, but he didn't know where it was put.
Everyone's mind was caught by this scene.
Such a small child is just beginning to explore this world, and is curious about everything in this world...
The obviously beautiful but lifeless eyes, those two forwards rubbing their arms blankly, and the eagerness and helplessness on that face, tied everyone's heartstrings.
Tears rolled in Ye Qingqiu's eyes, he stretched out his hand to hold Lin Lin's hand, and kissed it on his lips.
"Linlin, mom... Mom has prepared mooncakes for you too..."
Linlin instantly calmed down, and turned to face Ye Qingqiu, with deep anticipation in his eyes.
"Where?"
Ye Qingqiu looked at the half moon cake left in his hand, it was just given to her by Li Tingshen, she took two bites and didn't finish it.
"here……"
Her mind moved slightly, she swallowed the sourness that came up, and handed the mooncake to Lin Lin's mouth.
"Mom has already eaten it, it's delicious, Linlin will try it too..."
Linlin blinked his eyes, took Ye Qingqiu's hand with both hands, opened his mouth and took a bite.
"Is it tasty?"
Lin Lin nodded and smiled happily, "It's delicious."
Ye Qingqiu pulled his lips, his smile was bitter.
Linlin soon finished eating the mooncakes.
Shen Fanxing didn't give Linlin the one he gave him before, "It's time to eat soon, and we'll eat after dinner."
Lin Lin "looked" at Ye Qingqiu, and Ye Qingqiu gently kissed his cheek.
"Eat a little more for dinner later, okay?"
Lin Lin nodded, "Okay."
Bao Jingchuan sat on the sofa in silence from the beginning to the end, occasionally glancing at his phone, as if he had nothing to do with him.
Wan Wan lay down next to Ye Qingqiu's legs, and reached out to touch Lin Lin's pretty face.
"Auntie, Linlin looks so beautiful...he's also very obedient, his forehead was hot yesterday, and he didn't even cry..."
Ye Qingqiu paused slightly, "Your forehead is hot?"
Shen Fanxing didn't intend to hide it, "I had a high fever yesterday afternoon, so I didn't get in touch with you."
Ye Qingqiu remembered the missed call reminder on her mobile phone.
"The dean said that he didn't sleep much all night before he came out, and he should have been feeling unwell the next day, probably... because he was afraid that if others knew he was sick, he would not be allowed to come out."
No one can understand Ye Qingqiu's mood at this moment.
If possible, she is willing to bear all the hardships and pains for Linlin.
She is sick, and she is blind.
But even when he was sick yesterday, she didn't stay by his side.
*
Grandma Bo ordered the kitchen to cook a lot of dishes, and there were seven or eight dishes that the child liked to eat alone.
Ye Qingqiu has been feeding Linlin the whole time, although she doesn't do much of this kind of thing, it seems to be a mother's instinct.
Gentle and careful.
Shen Fanxing had seen Ye Qingqiu back then.
The arrogant, spoiled little princess of Pingcheng actually has such a completely different look.
Time always allows people to grow through tempering.
After dinner, Ye Qingqiu and Lin Lin ate the moon cakes that he had been thinking about, and then he was dragged by Wanwan to disassemble the toys.
Ye Qingqiu's eyes were locked on Linlin's body all the time, and Wanwan was opening presents there. Although he was very curious, he just sat there obediently, waiting for Wanwan to talk to him for a long time, and then stuffed the toy into Linlin's hand Come on, then grab his hand, point out the shape of the toy to him, and then the two of them figure out how to play together...
Every time I look at him, the pity and regret are always lingering in my heart.
How good would it be if Linlin could see it with his eyes?
"Is he the one who sent you back today?"
Shen Fanxing, who was sitting next to Bao Jingchuan, asked suddenly.
Ye Qingqiu withdrew his gaze and turned to look at her.
"……yes."
Shen Fanxing nodded, and pondered for a while, "Go through the formalities and pick up Linlin from the orphanage."
His body froze suddenly, and he shook his head after being stunned for a few seconds, "No..."
"Sorry." Shen Fanxing interrupted her, and looked at her calmly, "He has already met Linlin."
Ye Qingqiu's body froze, and the loose strings in his mind stretched and snapped in an instant.
Something exploded in his head, and the blood on his face seemed to be drained instantly.
Shen Fanxing's expression remained calm, "We took Linlin to the hospital and we happened to meet him."
"But you don't have to worry, he just sent you back tonight, didn't he?"
Ye Qingqiu's eyes trembled.
Yeah, so low down just to send her here.
"You can't hide it from him for the rest of your life. No one can deny the fact that he is Linlin's father. Don't try to deprive him of his rights and responsibilities as a father. This way you will all be more relaxed."
Ye Qingqiu was silent for a long time, and the whole person seemed to calm down.
"You're right, but I can't think of a way for me, him, and Linlin to live."
"I don't know either." Shen Fanxing said indifferently, she only had reason, and she felt that this matter should be done, but she couldn't put herself in the situation to perceive Ye Qingqiu's state of mind, the knife was not stuck in her body.
"I just think that since he already knows, there's no need for you and Linlin to separate. Besides, it's safer to keep Linlin by your side than in an orphanage. If he really wants to hit the child , the orphanage can't stop it."
Ye Qingqiu clasped his hands tightly together.
indeed.
Shen Fanxing was right.
But what is she going to do?
Li Tingshen refused to let her go, so must she bring Lin Lin to live with him?
No.
This kind of life is too deformed.
"I'll think about it later." Bao Jingchuan, who had been indifferent to his posture, suddenly spoke, and successfully attracted everyone's attention.
"The experts just came with the news that the operation will be performed in three days, so prepare and leave the day after tomorrow."
Ye Qingqiu's gaze was rigid. When she first heard the news, she felt her heart suddenly stopped beating.
The whole world is quiet.
Only Bao Jingchuan's voice kept repeating in his ears.
a long time……
"So... Linlin will see you soon, right?"
Bao Jingchuan glanced at her lightly, "No accident."
Ye Qingqiu nodded.
If Bao Jingchuan can't believe it, no one in this world can believe it.
She got up and walked to Lin Lin's side, reached out her hand to caress his face lovingly, and said softly:
"Linlin, will you live with your mother from now on?"
Lin Lin was taken aback.
Ye Qingqiu suppressed the soreness in his heart, "We won't be in the orphanage anymore, and we will follow our mother from now on."
Lin Lin's mouth was flattened, Ye Qingqiu could see that he was suppressing his emotions, but there was still a layer of mist in those dark eyes.
"Um!"
He nodded heavily, "Be with mom all the time..."
Ye Qingqiu couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes after all.
*
The next day, Ye Qingqiu got up early, dressed Linlin, had breakfast at Mrs. Bo's house, and went out with him in his arms.
"Mom...where are we going?"
Sitting in the car arranged by Shen Fanxing, Linlin sat obediently and asked.
"Take you to meet your great-grandfather."
"Great grandpa? Is it mother's grandpa?" He remembered this nursery rhyme on his smartphone.
Even without knowing what a two-year-old should know, but looking back at her two-year-old... no impression.
"Yes, Linlin is amazing."
Linlin smiled happily.
He likes to be praised by his mother.
*
Open the old man's ward, and Li Tingshen is inside.
Seeing Ye Qingqiu appear with Linlin in his arms, he was stunned.
Ye Qingqiu walked into the ward with a blank face, stood in front of the bed, looked at the old man who was still sleeping on the bed, and bent over to let Lin Lin touch his hand.
"Linlin, call me grandpa."
Lin Lin's little hand rested on the back of the old man's hand, "Grandpa, my name is Lin Lin..."
Li Tingshen clenched his hands on both sides tightly, and his black eyes were tightly locked on the mother and child.
The heart in the chest was tightly restrained by a force, for fear that the beating sound would be too loud and the picture in front of him would be shattered.
Ye Qingqiu finally bent over and sat on the chair next to him, put Linlin on his lap, and watched over the old man quietly.
The atmosphere in the ward was not right.
Maybe it's because the eyes can't see, the nerves become more sensitive, Linlin stretched out his hand to grab the cloth on Ye Qingqiu's body, and asked suspiciously:
"Mom, is there anyone else in the room?"
"Um."
"Then...why doesn't he speak? Is it because he is afraid of waking up Grandpa?"
These words made Li Ting frowned slightly.
Ye Qingqiu's voice remained calm, "Maybe."
Linlin opened his mouth, and then spoke in a very low voice, "Then Linlin should be quieter, so as not to wake up grandpa."
Ye Qingqiu pursed his lips and smiled.
"good."
Linlin was silent for a while, then raised his head and "looked" at Ye Qingqiu, and stretched out his hand to feel for Ye Qingqiu's face.
"What is Linlin doing?"
"I wonder if my grandpa looks a lot like my mother... Mom, tell me, what do you look like?"
Ye Qingqiu paused for a moment, then looked at the old man, "Hmm...the nose should be very similar."
Linlin's small hand touched Ye Qingqiu's nose, and after a long time, he touched his own nose again, with a disappointed expression, "Hmm... Linlin's nose doesn't look like grandpa..."
Ye Qingqiu paused.
Is not like.
The most similar one is the one in the room, and the other person, not only the nose, eyes, eyebrows, and even the outline of the entire face, is exactly the same as that man.
A slight wind suddenly swept by.
By the time she realized it, Li Tingshen had already reached her and stretched out his hand. His bony fingers pinched Lin Lin's chin, forcing him to raise his head.
Those eyes, exactly the same as his, were dark but scattered, unfocused, dazed and frightened, like a deep pool.
There was a "snap".
Ye Qingqiu suddenly reached out and knocked off his hand, and stood up holding Linlin instead, looking at him angrily.
"what you do?"
Linlin hugged Ye Qingqiu's neck tightly with some fear, even if he couldn't see it, he could still clearly feel the forceful aura of the man opposite him.
Li Tingshen only felt a muffled thunder explode in his head.
The heart that had been calmed by restraint just now suddenly trembled, and the shock was accompanied by sharp pain, which instantly hit the whole body.
"What happened to his eyes?"
Ye Qingqiu didn't expect that he would not know about the child who had already met him, but this question... She paused, bit her lip and turned her gaze elsewhere.
"As you can see."
Li Tingshen clenched his hands into fists, his tense voice turned into a hoarse stumbling because of his disordered breathing.
"what happened?"
Although it was a perfectly reasonable question, Ye Qingqiu's emotions seemed to be crushed by a feather.
In the past few years, all the things have piled up on her body, she blamed herself and repented every day, how many days and nights she was awakened by what happened in those few days three years ago, she was worried about Linlin's body, Linlin's basic necessities of life Well, she was also worried, and Lin Lin's eyes were even more worried, she cried out that the ground was not working well and that Tian Tian should not...
"What's going on? If I know everything and know what's going on, do I still need to wait until now?!"
She didn't make too much noise subconsciously, but the tight body and low growl made Lin Lin's body stiffen, and the arms holding her neck tightened because of fear.
Ye Qingqiu realized his gaffe, and quickly walked out of the ward with Linlin in his arms.
As soon as I got out of the ward, I met a few people in uniforms walking towards me...
