Qi Shaoze looked at Gu Qingcheng’s panicked and worried expression, his eyes brimming with tenderness, as if her concern was all that mattered to him, whether he lived or died seemed inconsequential.

He opened his mouth as if to respond to Gu Qingcheng, but coughed up a mouthful of fresh, bright red blood.

The blood spilled onto the pristine white sheets, instantly staining them with splatters of bright red, both beautiful and startling.

Gu Qingcheng was shocked and hurriedly looked towards the nurse: “Quickly, go find a doctor, hurry!”

Seeing this, the nurse ran out of the ward in a panic.

Gu Qingcheng frantically grabbed a tissue from the bedside table to wipe the blood from Qi Shaoze’s mouth.

“Qi Shaoze, what on earth is happening? You were fine when I left earlier,” she said, her heart racing. “Don’t you die in front of me. If you die, I can’t explain it to your grandfather.” 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Qi Shaoze tried to speak, but blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Gu Qingcheng wiped and wiped with the tissue, but the blood at Qi Shaoze’s mouth wouldn’t stop.

She commanded in a stern tone, “Qi Shaoze, you cannot die!”

If something happened to Qi Shaoze in her presence, she would never be able to explain it to his parents and the Qi family patriarch.

She had too much on her plate right now and couldn’t afford to be distracted by Qi Shaoze’s condition.

Even if she wasn’t involved, the Qi family would blame her if he died in front of her.

Of course, this was her worst-case scenario, but she couldn’t let Qi Shaoze die.

Doctors quickly entered the ward, and Gu Qingcheng hurriedly stepped away from the bedside.

“How could this happen? He was just examined and found to be fine,” said one doctor quickly, before adding, “Quickly, get him to the emergency room.”

“Qing… Qingcheng…” Qi Shaoze, as if afraid that Gu Qingcheng would leave, looked at her with all his strength. “Don’t go, don’t leave me…”

Hearing these words, Gu Qingcheng felt overwhelmed.

She wanted to leave, but she couldn’t just abandon Qi Shaoze in his half-dead state.

“Don’t worry, I will wait until you are safe and sound, rest assured…”

Hearing Gu Qingcheng’s firm response, Qi Shaoze seemed unable to hold on any longer and passed out.

Gu Qingcheng followed the doctors as they rushed Qi Shaoze to the emergency room, her heart pounding with nervousness.

Qi Shaoze absolutely must not have anything happen to him.

She paced nervously outside the emergency room, unable to fathom why Qi Shaoze suddenly seemed on the brink of death.

She had just heard the doctor say that Qi Shaoze had been examined and was fine, which meant he should have no internal injuries. How could he suddenly be spitting blood and close to sudden death?

She pondered for a long time but couldn’t understand it, her heart still tense for Qi Shaoze. But then she suddenly remembered her promise to Huo Sicheng to return home early tonight to be with their son.

Huo Xuan had prepared a surprise for her, but now she was stuck in the hospital.

This…

She checked her phone and was startled to see it was already half past midnight.

She hadn’t expected it to be nearly one in the morning, still in the hospital, and unable to return to the villa tonight.

She had thought it was no later than nine o’clock, not realizing how quickly time had passed.

By this time, Huo Xuan would surely have gone to bed, and even if he hadn’t, Huo Sicheng wouldn’t let him stay up late and would have forced him to bed.

Her son’s surprise seemed out of reach for tonight, and she feared disappointing him by not returning to the villa.

The thought of Huo Xuan’s disappointed and sad face made her heart ache.

The next moment, she opened her contacts and dialed Huo Sicheng’s mobile number.

The phone was answered immediately, with Huo Sicheng speaking first: “I’m here.”

Hearing Huo Sicheng’s deep, magnetic voice, Gu Qingcheng stiffened, feeling a mix of warmth and sadness.

She bit her lower lip and asked softly, “Is the baby asleep?”

Huo Sicheng replied, “Yes, he was waiting for you, but it got too late, so I forced him to bed.

Just as Gu Qingcheng had thought. After a moment, she said softly, “Sorry, I

was about to come back early after finishing my work, but something urgent came up and I couldn’t make it.”

Huo Sicheng spoke gently, “Don’t apologize, you did nothing wrong. You just had something urgent come up. Focus on your work; that’s more important.”

Listening to Huo Sicheng’s understanding and gentle words, Gu Qingcheng felt a pang in her heart, touched and sad at his consideration.

She took a moment to soothe her aching heart, then softly told him, “It’s almost midnight. Don’t wait for me. I won’t be returning to the villa tonight, and maybe not tomorrow either.”

There was silence on the other end of the line.

Seeing Huo Sicheng’s silence, Gu Qingcheng spoke again softly, “Don’t misunderstand, I’m not avoiding you because of a quarrel, I really have an urgent matter and can’t return.”

She paused, then decided there was no point in hiding it from Huo Sicheng. “Qi Shaoze is injured. He listed me as his emergency contact, and the hospital urged me to come. He’s currently in the emergency room for treatment, so I can’t return to the villa.”

Gu Qingcheng’s explanation didn’t help. On the other end of the phone, Huo Sicheng’s face froze.

Qi Shaoze—the name was like a knife to his heart.

Instantly, he felt a mix of sourness and discomfort, struggling to breathe.

He reached up to loosen his tie, the name ‘Qi Shaoze’ echoing in his ears.

Qi Shaoze was being treated in the hospital, and Gu Qingcheng was there with him.

Even worse, Qi Shaoze had listed Gu Qingcheng as his emergency contact!

On the day of the Peach Blossom Cup, Gu Qingcheng had firmly chosen him over Qi Shaoze. How could she now be at Qi Shaoze’s side?

Although Qi Shaoze’s parents were abroad, the Qi family patriarch lived in

Jiangcheng. It should be him dealing with this situation, not Gu Qingcheng!

He had specifically told her earlier that their son Huo Xuan had a surprise for her, and she had promised to come home early to see Huo Xuan.

Tonight, Huo Xuan had waited desperately for her to return home. As time ticked away, he watched his son’s growing disappointment and sadness, his heart aching.

He had believed Gu Qingcheng would come home to see their son. She could ignore him, but she wouldn’t let their son down.

As the night wore on, he couldn’t bear to let Huo Xuan wait any longer or see his son’s sad face, so he forced Huo Xuan to go to bed.

Fortunately, Huo Xuan went to bed; otherwise, the boy wouldn’t just have missed Gu Qingcheng’s return tonight but would have continued to be upset that he couldn’t comfort her.

“Huo Sicheng?” Gu Qingcheng, seeing Huo Sicheng’s silence and the prolonged silence, checked her phone to see it was still connected, then spoke again: “Are you still there?”

Huo Sicheng took a deep breath, his voice filled with bitterness, “Yes, I’m here.” Gu Qingcheng asked, “You heard what I just said, right?”

“Huo Sicheng?” Seeing Huo Sicheng’s continued silence, Gu Qingcheng checked her phone again, then repeated, “Are you still there?”

Huo Sicheng inhaled deeply, his voice soft but bitter, “Yes, I’m here.” Gu Qingcheng repeated, “You heard everything I just said, right?”
