After the betrothal gift negotiation collapsed, I turned around and married a wealthy man.

Grandpa Qin and Qiao Xing both entered the ward.

Grandpa Qin couldn't help but tear up when he saw Qin Ce, who had lost a lot of weight in less than a month.

"You little brat! You're lucky this time!"

Qin Ce's voice was weak and hoarse. "I haven't even seen your great-grandson being born yet. How could you bear to lose your life?"

"Okay, don't say such things at a time like this, as long as you wake up."

Grandpa Qin spoke briefly to Qin Ce, and after confirming that he was fine, he did not disturb the young couple.

"You two go ahead and talk, I'm going back."

Only after Grandpa Qin left did Qiao Xing walk to the bedside.

Qin Ce looked at Qiao Xing quietly. After they looked at each other for a few seconds, Qiao Xing pinched Qin Ce's arm lightly.

"I let you scare me!"

Her tone was accusatory, but her voice was tearful.

Qin Ce saw this and felt extremely uncomfortable.

He knew what Qiao Xing had been through during the time he was unconscious.

What's more, she is pregnant.

Qin Ce said, "I'm sorry."

Qiao Xing said with a heavy nasal voice, "Who wants your apology? Besides, how have you ever been sorry to me? I don't know how well I lived during the time you were unconscious!"

Qiao Xing deliberately spoke toughly to irritate Qin Ce.

Although she knew that Qin Ce's coma was not his fault, the fear and worry she had suffered these days caused Qiao Xing to have complicated emotions.

Qin Ce smiled softly, "Yes, I know that you can live well without me, so why are you crying?"

Qiao Xing said stubbornly, "Who is crying? It's obvious that there is sand in the eyes."

"Oh." Qin Ce compromised, "Okay then."

Qin Ce wanted to say something again, but just as the words came to his lips, he suddenly started coughing violently.

Qiao Xing suddenly asked nervously, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable again? Why are you coughing so hard?"

She subconsciously wanted to call a doctor, but Qin Ce grabbed her arm and said, "Don't you care about me?"

Qiao Xing was stunned and wanted to hit him angrily.

Qin Ce pulled her to sit on the bed. He wanted to get up and hug Qiao Xing, but he had no strength.

I can only hold Qiao Xing's hand tightly in my own, "I miss you."

When Qiao Xing felt the warmth of his palm, she truly realized that Qin Ce waking up was not a dream.

She lowered her eyes and said softly, "Me too."

Qin Ce looked at Qiao Xing's belly. He reached out and touched it, as if he could feel the baby responding to him.

Qin Ce asked, "Is the child okay?"

Qiao Xing nodded, "It's fine. I went for a prenatal checkup last week and the doctor said there's no problem. The due date is around the Spring Festival."

It is less than two months away from the Spring Festival, and this year's Spring Festival is earlier than in previous years.

Grandpa Qin’s treatment just happened to be over. If all goes well, they should be able to return to Yucheng to celebrate the New Year.

Qiao Xing said, "When you get better and grandpa's treatment is finished, we will go back. I don't want to stay here anymore."

Qin Ce said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Qiao Xing lowered his head and said, "This is the last time."

Qin Ce asked, "What's the last time?"

"This is the last time you lie to me."

Qin Ce said helplessly, "I never thought of lying to you, but I can't tell you this. You are pregnant now, and it will be bad for both you and the child if you know."

Qiao Xing said, "I don't want to hear this. Since I'm married to you, your business is my business. I can't help it, and it's impossible for me to know nothing."

Qiao Xing looked up at Qin Ce, "Or did you never believe me from the beginning to the end?"

"How could that be? If I don't believe your grandfather, he will be the first one to not let me go. Besides, you are my wife. If I don't trust you, who else can I trust?"

Qiao Xing said, "Who knows? After all, someone never believed me from the beginning."

Qin Ce understood what Qiao Xing meant. He felt that Qiao Xing would probably keep this "handle" of his in his hand for the rest of his life.

He assured Qiao Xing, "The past is the past, and the present is the present. Don't worry, such things will never happen again."

After all, the instigator of these things may never appear in the capital again.

When Wang Yu arrived at the hospital, he saw Xing Jiu at the door of the ward.

Xing Jiu was originally sitting on a chair. When he saw Wang Yu coming, he stood up and his expression became serious.

Wang Yu asked, "I heard that Xiao Ce woke up, so I came to see him."

Xing Jiu said, "Yes, Mr. Qin is awake."

Wang Yu looked very happy. "He's awake. That's good."

After she finished speaking, she was about to go in, but just as she took a step forward, she was stopped by Xing Jiu.

Wang Yu looked confused.

Logically speaking, although Xing Jiu is Qin Ce's person, Wang Yu is still the chairman's wife, so Xing Jiu has no right to stop her.

But Xing Jiu stood in front of Wang Yu without moving.

Wang Yu asked him, "What's wrong? I can't go in?"

Xing Jiu said, "The doctor said that no outside visitors are allowed for the time being."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of chatting was heard in the ward. Although the voices were low, Wang Yu could tell that they were the voices of Qiao Xing and Qin Ce.

Wang Yu's face turned a little ugly at that time.

Xing Jiu, however, stood motionless in front of Wang Yu, as if he had seen nothing.

Wang Yu looked at him for a few seconds and said nothing, but turned and left.

After she disappeared from Xingjiu's sight, she suddenly stood still, and her originally ugly expression turned into anger.

Xing Jiu dared to do this, he must have listened to Qin Ce's words.

Qin Ce actually knew from the beginning that she would come, so he asked Xing Jiu to block the door.

Wang Yu even doubted whether Qin Ce's coma was real or not.

If it was fake, he had no reason not to see her. If it was true, what was her purpose in doing so?

Tomorrow is the day Qin Ji is officially appointed, and she will never allow any problems to occur at this critical moment.

Just then, Wang Yu saw a familiar figure.

She squeezed the bag in her hand and walked towards the man.

"Hello, Mr. Shen, do you have time? I want to talk to you."

……

When Qin Yi learned that Qin Ce had woken up, he rushed to the hospital.

At that time, Qin Ce's complexion had improved a lot. Qiao Xing was sitting beside the bed, peeling oranges for Qin Ce.

Qin Yi pushed open the door of the ward without any warning and walked in. When he saw Qin Ce, he almost cried for joy.

"Brother, you finally woke up."

He rushed over and tried to hug Qin Ce, but Qin Ce avoided him with disgust.

"That's enough. People who don't know would think you're crying."

Qiao Xing also felt that Qin Yi’s role was a bit too much.

Qin Yi looked for nothing, touched his nose awkwardly, and found a chair to sit down next to him.
