After rebirth, Mrs. Huo only wanted a divorce

Qiao Shinian was ill, and the illness came on suddenly and inexplicably.

Even Li Boting and Fu Tiantian in China received the news.

Huo Yushan was even more anxious. After all, it was during her video call with Qiao Shinian that Qiao Shinian suddenly became abnormal.

After comforting Huo Yushan, Fu Tiantian accompanied Li Boting to Country F.

In the hospital, the thin Qiao Shinian was lying on the bed, his face slightly haggard and in very bad spirits.

"Niannian, what's wrong with you? Why did you fall ill when you were fine?" Li Boting was extremely anxious.

Fu Tiantian also stepped forward and held Qiao Shinian's hand. "What did the doctor say?"

Before Qiao Shinian could say anything, Mo Xiuyuan walked in from outside.

He was not surprised to see Li Boting and Fu Tiantian, and took the initiative to tell them: The doctor had given Qiao Shinian a detailed full-body examination.

Qiao Shinian has been too tired recently and his body can't take it, and he caught a cold at night, so he fell ill. He will be fine as long as he rests well for a few days.

Hearing this, Li Boting and Fu Tiantian felt a little relieved.

Fu Tiantian had heard Qiao Shinian mention Mo Xiuyuan in Country F over the phone.

But this was the first time Li Boting had officially met Mo Xiuyuan. Seeing his handsome appearance, Li Boting was a little confused, "Who are you?"

Mo Xiuyuan already knew the relationship between Li Boting and Qiao Shinian, so he said politely, "Uncle Li, I'm Mo Xiuyuan."

Hearing the name, Li Boting nodded and said gently: "I know you, thank you for your concern and care for Nian Nian."

Mo Xiuyuan politely replied, "You're welcome. This is what I should do."

Seeing the conversation gradually becoming strange, Qiao Shi said, "Mo Xiuyuan, you still have a lot of things to do, you go ahead and do it, I'm fine here."

Mo Xiuyuan didn't say much. He just nodded and left the ward.

Although Mo Xiuyuan said that there was nothing serious wrong with Qiao Shinian, Li Boting was still a little worried. After examining Qiao Shinian carefully, he went to see a doctor in person.

"I've already told you that it's just a minor illness and you don't need to come. You're making it seem like it's something serious." Qiao Shinian said to Fu Tiantian.

Fu Tiantian looked at Qiao Shinian's frail appearance and asked directly: "Niannian, why did you suddenly fall ill? The symptoms that Mo Xiuyuan just described made me feel that you were suffering from a mental illness? Even though you have been hiding abroad, you still can't forget Huo Yanci?"

Hearing the three words "Huo Yanci", Qiao Shinian's heart was filled with pain again. She did not deny it: "I thought time could heal everything, but it's so difficult. Tiantian, until now, I still can't believe that Huo Yanci is really gone..."

Hearing this, Fu Tiantian hugged Qiao Shinian and patted her back distressedly, "It's hard for anyone to accept this. You're already very strong. Don't push yourself too hard. Cry if you want to, be sad if you want to. You're not wrong."

Qiao Shinian leaned on Fu Tiantian's shoulder and couldn't help choking up.

No one noticed that Mo Xiu walked away and came back. He stayed at the door for a few seconds and then left again.

……

That night, Qiao Shinian finally persuaded Fu Tiantian and Li Boting to go back to the hotel, and she lay down on the hospital bed alone.

Looking at the moonlight outside, she went downstairs to get some fresh air.

Just as she got downstairs, Qiao Shinian saw Mo Xiuyuan.

He stood in the moonlight, his tall figure cast a long shadow in the moonlight, and he put his hands in his pockets, as if he had encountered something difficult to decide, with a hint of hesitation in his expression.

"Mo Xiuyuan, why did you come here so late? Do you have something to talk to me about?" Qiao Shinian asked.

Mo Xiuyuan seemed to be surprised that she would come down. He quickly stepped forward and held her hand. "Nothing, I just wanted to come and see you. Why did you come down?"

"Breathable."

The night was quiet and the grass in the garden smelled pleasant. Mo Xiuyuan helped Qiao Shinian sit on the bench in front of the grass. Afraid that she would be cold, Mo Xiuyuan took off his coat and put it on her.

"I'm not cold, you don't catch a cold." Qiao Shinian said.

Mo Xiuyuan still put his coat on her, sat next to her, and asked with a slightly uncertain tone: "Niannian, you didn't lie to me, did you? My sister had coffee with you two days ago, and she really didn't say anything bad to make you sad?"

Qiao Shinian confirmed, "No, she was very polite to me and even apologized to me for what happened in the past."

"The doctor said that a big part of the reason you fell ill this time was caused by heart disease. Are you thinking of Huo Yanci and feeling sad because of him?" Mo Xiuyuan asked.

Qiao Shinian looked at Mo Xiuyuan with a little surprise. During the past few months in Country F, Mo Xiuyuan never mentioned anything related to relationships, let alone asked her directly about Huo Yanci.

"Mo Xiuyuan, I don't want to hide it from you. I am really upset. I know how much you have sacrificed for me, and I am very grateful to you, but I can't accept anyone's feelings calmly right now."

Mo Xiuyuan traced the outline of Qiao Shinian's pale face with his eyes, as if he had made some decision.

"Nian Nian, I can wait. But do you intend to keep yourself trapped in the past?"

Mo Xiuyuan said, "You blamed yourself for my amnesia in the car accident and tried every way to repay my kindness. But I never need you to repay me. As long as you are safe, I am very happy. I believe Huo Yanci has the same idea."

"So, don't torture yourself with faults that don't belong to you."

Mo Xiuyuan held Qiao Shinian's hand and said, "Niannian, before I lost my memory, you promised me that you would give me a chance when your career became stable."

Qiao Shinian met Mo Xiuyuan's affectionate peach blossom eyes and listened to him continue, "My family will no longer interfere with my feelings. They all support me in finding someone I like. So, do you still count?"

Qiao Shinian paused, "I..."

She didn't say anything before she heard a "whoosh" sound as if something fell not far behind her.

Qiao Shinian looked at the green bushes behind him and saw a wild cat running away.

Mo Xiuyuan ignored this little episode. He said, "Niannian, I don't ask you to agree to me now, nor do I ask you to completely forget Huo Yanci. You have been through so much. If you can really forget it in such a short time, you are not yourself anymore."

"I want to formally ask you for this opportunity in half a year. We will continue to maintain a relationship of friends and partners in the next six months. I promise not to put any pressure on you. But in half a year, you give me a definite answer, okay?"

Qiao Shinian looked at Mo Xiuyuan's hopeful eyes, then lowered her eyes to glance at the Buddhist beads on his wrist, but ultimately did not refuse.

"Then let's make a deal. It's getting late. I'll take you back to the ward." Mo Xiuyuan stood up and supported Qiao Shinian.

Qiao Shinian and Mo Xiuyuan went to the inpatient building.

Before entering the elevator, she glanced outside casually and seemed to see a person in a wheelchair in the garden.

However, the distance was too far and the shadows of the trees were too heavy for Qiao Shinian to see clearly. Just as the elevator arrived, she and Mo Xiuyuan walked in.

……

Time flies, and the half-year period soon arrives.

In the past six months, Mo Xiuyuan kept his promise, did not overstep the line, and did not mention anything related to his relationship with Qiao Shinian.

Qiao Shinian followed Fu Tiantian's advice and stopped suppressing his emotions. When he felt sad, he would stop what he was doing and rest for a day or two. When he felt heartbroken, he would cry, and his mood gradually calmed down.

The next day is Chinese Valentine’s Day, which is Valentine’s Day in China.

In the afternoon, Mo Xiuyuan brought flowers to Qiao Shinian's office and asked her to meet him at the church the next morning.

When Qiao Shinian heard the word "church", he subconsciously felt a little nervous.

Before he could say anything, Mo Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Niannian, I just like the atmosphere there and want to take you there to experience it. I won't do anything to embarrass you."

If Mo Xiuyuan said no, then no, Qiao Shinian nodded with relief.

Mo Xiuyuan has been close to Qiao Shinian over the past year, and now he brings flowers. Soon, everyone in the company knows that Mo Xiuyuan and Qiao Shinian have a church date tomorrow morning.

Many of my colleagues in China also posted on their Moments, saying that they were about to witness a love story.

The next day, Qiao Shinian took a bus to the church that Mo Xiuyuan mentioned.

The towering spire outside the church stands like a guardian saint, with a golden statue of the Virgin Mary inlaid on the top, shining a soft and sacred light in the morning light.

Qiao Shinian took a deep breath and walked into the church.

A calm and solemn atmosphere blows over. Under the towering dome, rows of benches are quietly arranged. Every beam and every mural seems to be telling stories of the past.

The sunlight formed brilliant and dazzling spots of light on the ground, making the church mysterious and warm.

Mo Xiuyuan was wearing a very handsome white suit. With his slender figure, he was holding flowers in his hands, waiting for her like a prince charming.

At this moment, Qiao Shinian suddenly felt a strong urge to retreat. She was very afraid that she could not give Mo Xiuyuan her wholehearted love. She did not love him.

Even if Huo Yanci was gone, she could not accept Mo Xiuyuan's feelings and spend the rest of her life with him.

Mo Xiuyuan seemed to see her hesitation and walked towards her.

Qiao Shinian instinctively wanted to retreat, but Mo Xiuyuan said, "Niannian, don't be afraid."

Qiao Shinian paused and looked at Mo Xiuyuan's handsome face.

Mo Xiuyuan also looked at Qiao Shinian, with a bit of attachment and reluctance in his peach blossom eyes, "Niannian, I'm glad you came here as promised. I wish today was our wedding, you were wearing a wedding dress, and I came over to hold your hand and put the ring on your finger."

Qiao Shinian listened to Mo Xiuyuan's obviously sad tone and felt that it was not like a confession but rather a farewell.

"Mo Xiuyuan, I'm sorry..."

"Niannian," Mo Xiuyuan interrupted Qiao Shinian's apology and asked in a hoarse voice, "Before you reject me, can you agree to one of my requests first?"

"any request?"

"At the beginning, I was framed at Li Shuyan's house. I felt ashamed to see you and kept avoiding you. You found me in the club's box and dragged me out of the corridor. Do you remember?"

Qiao Shinian nodded and said hoarsely, "I remember."

"Can we now complete what we didn't complete last time?" Mo Xiuyuan said with a heavy nasal tone.

Looking at Mo Xiuyuan's red peach blossom eyes, Qiao Shinian tiptoed towards Mo Xiuyuan's lips.

Just when they were about to touch, Mo Xiuyuan held her face and kissed her forehead.

Qiao Shinian looked up at Mo Xiuyuan who was so close to him. His eyes were completely red and his throat was almost choked up, "You should still owe it."

Qiao Shinian wanted to say something.

"Nian Nian, you can't agree to him!"

Suddenly, the church door was pushed open and an anxious male voice sounded.

Hearing this familiar voice, Qiao Shinian's body suddenly stiffened and she turned her head——

A man with a cane stood at the door of the church.

The sunlight fell on the man through the colorful glazed windows. Qiao Shinian suddenly remembered the banquet many years ago. He was like a god, fighting off the wretched man for her, and the sunlight also shone all over his body.

Looking at the familiar face of the other person, Qiao Shinian's heart began to beat uncontrollably and tears blurred her eyes.

Huo Yanci, he is still here.
