The Genius Sweetheart of the Abstinent Goblin Boss

Chapter 350 Warming the Stone

"Let's pretend..." Ji Ran feigned sorrow, "that this is the last time we'll see each other..."

Qiu Lingyue suddenly raised her head, her voice trembling, "You...what did you say? He...he..."

A hint of helplessness flashed in Ji Ran's eyes. "The doctor said the impact was too severe, and he also has cerebral edema. He's only been saved temporarily, and his condition could change at any time. So... consider this a farewell, even if it's just a quick look from afar..."

Before Ji Ran could finish speaking, Qiu Lingyue suddenly stood up and rushed out of the house.

"Huh?" Ji Ran looked confused.

No... let's go tomorrow, it's the middle of the night...

Ji Ran got up and chased after her. Her mother, a naive middle-aged girl, was out in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere; what if she got lost again?

But when Ji Ran opened the gate of the mansion, he saw a silver GTR rush out of the garage and flash past his eyes.

"Huh?? Mom!!!" Ji Ran subconsciously took two steps after her, only to watch helplessly as the car's taillights were also swallowed by darkness.

Wow... So Mom's a really good driver!

Ji Ran ran her fingers through her hair helplessly, worried that her mother might not be familiar with the route, and torn between whether or not to drive after her...

But then I thought about it again. My mother even uses high technology to harm people. I suddenly remembered that the woman called Auntie said that my mother's parents were both scientists, so my mother herself must be very smart. She can implant intelligent viruses into cars, so using a navigation system must be a piece of cake for her.

Mainly, she felt that her complete family could be saved this time and didn't want to get involved and cause trouble.

She took the opportunity to tug at the hand of the man beside her.

"You think... Mom won't be upset that I lied to her?"

Qi Mu shrugged.

"Maybe……"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ran looked at him with a dejected expression.

"What should I do?! She won't abandon me, will she?!"

Qi Mu couldn't help but chuckle, "Very likely..."

"Huh??" Ji Ran's face was filled with despair. "I don't want to be an orphan anymore..."

Qi Mu's heart softened, and he reached out to pull her into his arms.

"Silly girl, she's going to date."

Ji Ran looked up at him, puzzled. What did being in a relationship have to do with abandoning her?

Whatever, I'm too lazy to think about it anymore. I'll deal with it later. I'm really tired today.

She yawned, took Qi Mu's arm, and walked into the courtyard.

"Go to sleep. Mom isn't here today, so you have to sleep with me."

Hearing this, Qi Mu shook his head helplessly, but looking at the girl's stubborn back of her head, he felt so cute that his heart melted, and he obediently let her pull him away.

hospital.

Yin Li leaned against the wall in the corridor, a smile playing on her lips as she tapped away at her phone screen.

Suddenly he heard footsteps at the end of the corridor. He looked up in confusion, thinking that it was already past midnight and no one should be coming. Moreover, there were guards on both floors of this building, and even if someone came, they would be notified first. Could it be that Professor Ji had returned?

Soon, a slender figure appeared at the end of the corridor.

Yin Li looked closely, and her eyes immediately lit up.

"Miss Qiu?? Why are you here so late..."

Qiu Lingyue didn't even glance at him, but instead reached out to grab the doorknob.

And naturally, no one dared to stop her; she was President Qin's precious treasure, lost and found again.

But she herself stopped moving, her hand on the doorknob, unable to press it down for a long time, her head down as if she were struggling with something.

Perhaps she was too ashamed to face him, or perhaps it was just an instinctive reluctance to see Qin Wenzhou so badly injured...

"Miss Qiu?" Yin Li asked tentatively.

Qiu Lingyue remained silent, which puzzled Yin Li. "Are you... here to see President Qin?"

As he spoke, he glanced behind Qiu Lingyue again, but there was no one there.

Huh? Did she come alone? So late at night...

Professor Ji is used to being wild, but Miss Qiu has been like a porcelain doll, out of touch with the world, ever since she woke up. It's so dangerous for her to be alone alone so late at night! If something happens to her, President Qin will turn Beijing upside down…

Qiu Lingyue seemed to pause for a moment.

"How is the situation now...?"

Her voice was low and carried a hint of hidden anxiety.

Yin Li paused, wondering why everyone was already here and didn't go in and take a look.

Professor Ji's face still showed obvious worry, but Miss Qiu's expression remained calm, and it was hard to tell whether she cared about President Qin or not.

At this moment, Yin Li was really afraid of saying the wrong thing. If she said that President Qin's condition was serious, it might frighten her. Of course, it would be even worse if she didn't care.

But what if President Qin's condition isn't serious, and she just turns around and leaves?

Qiu Lingyue seemed to have gleaned some kind of answer from Yin Li's silence.

"understood."

She said softly, then took a deep breath and pressed the doorknob.

Yin Li watched her walk in, and then watched the door close, her face blank with surprise.

No, what does she know? He didn't say anything.

Qiu Lingyue entered the ward and stood still, her feet feeling as if they were made of lead.

She looked at the man lying on the bed from a distance; his head and hands were wrapped up tightly.

Her eyes held a complex mix of emotions: guilt, regret, and something she herself was unaware of.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she finally mustered the courage to take a step and slowly approach.

The closer you get, the clearer you can see the scars on his face and the paleness of his complexion.

A bunch of instruments were connected to the bedside, and the sounds they made were truly anxiety-inducing.

She walked to Qin Wenzhou's bedside.

Until he was really about to disappear from this world, those memories suddenly started playing over and over again in her mind.

At that time, he was the esteemed third young master of the Qin family, while I was merely an orphan living in the Jiang family. Even though I grew up in a large family like the Jiang family, I knew very well that I was never a member of that social class, and I never imagined that I would have any interaction with people of that level.

At first, she was still young and naive, and she never took his pursuit to heart, thinking he was just a rich young master looking for fun.

But he was like that, as if it had become a habit; whenever she encountered difficulties, he would always appear. Whenever she was unhappy, he would do everything he could to make her laugh. Whenever she turned around, she was sure to see him…

For a full ten years, even if she were a stone, he would naturally warm her heart.

Sometimes she didn't understand what it was about her that attracted him, when he clearly had so many other options.

Even though his grandfather repeatedly forced him to marry into the Fu family, and even went so far as to come to her personally to openly and subtly mock her, forcing her to have the self-awareness to let go on her own initiative.

But he persevered, willing to give up all of Qin's shares, willing to leave the Qin family with nothing, and willing to drive his own grandfather half to death, all to resolutely protect her.
