Destined with You

Chapter 2356: Chapter 2371: Do Me a Favor (1)

"Jingqing, you should understand me. Once I’ve made a decision, I won’t change it. I must ensure Xin’er and Baobao live." Beiming Han closed his eyes and stopped speaking.

Bai Jingqing hesitated to speak but ultimately had to respect his decision.

Lately, he’s been putting himself in his brother’s shoes, wondering what he would do if he had a terminal illness. Although it seems there are many paths to take, in reality, there’s only this one.

Bai Jingqing picked up the syringe and administered a shot to Beiming Han, covered him with a quilt, and left the ward to tend to some things.

Beiming Han opened his eyes, looking at the endless darkness outside. His body was trembling lightly. From being fearless, he now finally had a weakness, and that weakness was Gu Qingxin.

Some things he must do...

...

Gu Qingxin woke up in an unfamiliar environment, though it felt slightly familiar because this was Ye Qi’s room; she had been here before.

"Awake?"

Ever since she fell asleep, Ye Qi had brought her back and stayed by her side without doing anything else.

Looking at her now, he truly couldn’t be at ease. In just half a month without seeing her, she had grown so haggard.

"Ye Qi, have you found Ah Han?" Gu Qingxin sat up, looking at him anxiously.

"In the process of finding him, I promise you’ll have news by tomorrow." Ye Qi sat by the bedside. frёeωebɳovel.com

"Tomorrow... really?" Gu Qingxin was afraid now, scared of disappointment, and even more fearful that next time she saw Beiming Han, she’d be pushed into an even deeper abyss.

"There shouldn’t be a problem. You’ve slept for so long and should be hungry. I’ve arranged for food; can you go downstairs to eat?" Ye Qi tried his best to hide his feelings for her, only he knew how much his heart ached.

"I’m not hungry." Gu Qingxin shook her head, hugging her legs. She didn’t want to eat, not at all.

"Even if you’re not hungry, you need to eat something. If you don’t eat, Baobao has to eat. I’ve had the kitchen prepare your favorite seafood." Ye Qi couldn’t let her be anymore; she’d been sleeping since morning, and dinner time had passed.

Skipping two meals, and given that she was pregnant, her body definitely wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Indeed, the only thing motivating Gu Qingxin now was Baobao.

Gu Qingxin got out of bed, and Ye Qi quickly squatted to place a pair of soft plush slippers for her. She put them on and followed Ye Qi downstairs.

The dining room was already prepared with a lavish dinner. The two sat down, and Gu Qingxin looked at the table full of dishes, asking, "Is anyone else joining us?"

"No, just the two of us." Ye Qi handed the chopsticks to her and picked up a piece of meat for her.

"This is too much."

This table of food was enough for at least twenty people.

"Eat whatever you like." Ye Qi smiled casually.

Gu Qingxin ate the piece of meat he picked for her, and Ye Qi picked some other dishes for her, then brought over the shrimp and started peeling them for her.

He knew she loved shrimp but was reluctant to go through the trouble herself; at the North Garden, the young master would peel them for her.

Gu Qingxin watched Ye Qi’s actions and immediately stopped him, "Ye Qi, don’t peel them."

Ye Qi paused, looking at her in confusion. Gu Qingxin forced a smile and said, "I don’t want to eat shrimp."

"..."

"Can you pick some other dishes for me?" Gu Qingxin also picked some dishes for him and then looked at some dishes further away.
