The boss is chasing after the chaebol’s ex-wife, but you can’t afford it

"Shen..."

Tang Qiaoer looked at him in a trance, her consciousness was floating and blurry, and her breath was weak.

"It's me, Shen Jingjue!"

Shen was shocked to see that her little face had lost all color and her delicate body was shaking like a sieve. She looked very much like the little kitten that was about to freeze to death that he rescued in a dark alley on a winter night when he was a child.

An intense feeling of sadness was churning and burning in my chest.

"Shen...Jing...Jue..." Tang Qiaoer was so cold that even the tip of her tongue was stiff, and she struggled to pronounce the man's name.

Then she pulled her lips lightly, tears streaming down her face, and laughed at herself, "It seems... I'm going to freeze to death... How could it be him...

He’s not coming back… He doesn’t want me anymore…”

Tang Qiaoer murmured to herself, and gradually, her moist pupils began to lose focus, and her body lost weight and fell to the side.

"Tang Qiaoer! You are not allowed to sleep!"

Seeing her unrecognizable expression, Shen Jingjue felt as if his heart was pierced by an ice spike. He endured the pain and opened his arms to hug her, "I am Shen Jingjue! Open your eyes and look at me!"

The most frightening thing for people who are frozen and hypothermic is losing the will to live and falling into a complete coma.

He was afraid that if she closed her eyes at this moment, she would never wake up again!

There was desperate darkness all around.

Tang Qiaoer looked at the man in front of her with tears in her eyes. Her eye sockets became bigger and bigger, and her heart wrapped in cold blood trembled uncontrollably.

It had been a long time since she saw the light in his eyes.

Ever since he woke up from his coma, those sparkling starry eyes had sunk into a darkness that was darker than the night and colder than the snow.

Unfortunately……

At this moment, the person she least wanted to see was him.

Tang Qiaoer laughed, closed her red eyelids, and used the last bit of strength in her body to push away his embrace:

"You are Shen Jingjue...but...I don't need you anymore..."

Shen Jingjue's brows were tightly knitted, and his heart was also tightly knitted.

He could think she was freezing and talking nonsense.

But as each word was stabbed, he still felt a dull pain, causing the piece of flesh in his chest to clench uncontrollably.

Shen Jingjue ignored her almost negligible resistance and forcefully reached out to take off her shirt which was soaked in ice and snow.

"Don't touch me...don't touch me..." Tang Qiaoer's eyes were red and wet. Except for resisting with her mouth, she could not resist anywhere else.

The man had a gloomy brow and silently took off his coat which was warm from his body temperature and wrapped her cold and weak body tightly. He then took out a thermos from his backpack, soaked Tang Qiaoer's scarf with hot water, and held it against her atrium to provide heat to her heart.

After some skilled first aid, Tang Qiaoer's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her pale complexion eased a little.

But she was still frozen and in danger!

Regardless of the biting coldness on his body, Shen Jingjue picked up Tang Qiaoer and walked forward with difficulty, step by step.

"Shen...Jingjue..." Tang Qiaoer leaned on him weakly, her voice so light that it was blown away by the wind.

"I'm here." The man heard her and responded quickly.

"Before... I was stubborn and didn't know what I was capable of..."

Tang Qiaoer's eyes were filled with tears, and the last bit of strength in her heart also collapsed. "Now, I really... don't want to love you anymore..."

Shen Jingjue's steps suddenly paused, the arm holding her trembled, and he continued to move forward.

The voice was deep but dry. "I'll take you away from here first. We can talk about the rest later."

"There will be no future."

Tang Qiaoer burst into tears, her bitter tears soaking his clothes again and again, "Shen Jingjue... I'm so tired... Sometimes, I even think that you might as well forget me.

Better than the current situation...

Every time I have high hopes for you, I am always disappointed..."

Shen Jingjue's eyes were red. Listening to her calm voice, he felt a huge wave stirring in his heart, surging and rolling, rushing into his throat.

……

Fortunately, Shen Jingjue found Tang Qiaoer in time and gave her emergency treatment. After being sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, Tang Qiaoer fell into a coma, but fortunately she was out of danger.

However, she still needs to be kept under observation in the ICU. In addition to treating her frostbite wounds, her organs and brain must also be checked to see if they are affected.

How could Lin Su dare to hide the fact that such a big thing had happened to the eldest lady? He immediately notified Tang Wanting, Tang Xu and Tang Feng in Shengjing, and Tang Yue, who was looking for Liu Suifeng abroad and had been silent for a long time, and also called to inform them.

The Tang family rushed to Shengjing Hospital. This was destined to be a sleepless night.

Shen Jingjue also quietly went to treat the gunshot wound. The doctor said that if he delayed any further, his right arm would definitely be disabled.

When Han Xian rushed into the ward, the nurse had just bandaged Shen Jingjue's wound. The snow-white gauze wrapped around his forehead, his arms, his shoulders, and his strong waist and abdomen.

The spots of blood seeping out and seeping in were shocking.

And his spine was not bent, not even half an inch.

"Mr. Shen!" Han Xian's throat choked and tears welled up in his eyes.

The nurse left the ward. Shen Jingjue glanced at Han Xian indifferently, then tried hard to put on his hospital gown.

However, saving Tang Qiaoer almost cost him half his life, and now he didn't even have the strength to put on his clothes.

"Boss Shen, don't move! I'll do it!"

Han Xian hurried forward, carefully helped him dress, and helped him lean against the head of the bed.

Seeing the man covered in bruises, one by one, was unforgettable, all because of Tang Qiaoer.

Han Xian couldn't help crying, "Boss Shen... please! Don't scare me... If anything goes wrong again, I won't live anymore!"

Shen Jingjue looked at him calmly, "Why, do you want to commit suicide for love?"

Han Xian sniffed: "..."

"Your infatuation should be for the one you love, not me."

The man drooped his eyelashes, his face full of fatigue, "You are just my secretary. You don't need to worry about me for things other than work."

These words may sound inhumane, but they are actually a warm expression of affection.

No matter what, it’s because I’m worried that the people around me are suffering and worried.

However, his way of expressing himself always seems cold and chilling.

"Who attacked you? I'll go check. I'm going to kill the person who seriously injured you!" Han Xian wiped his nose, his eyes furious with hatred.

"Revenge? He lets you use both hands, and he can kick you down with both hands."

Shen Jingjue closed his eyes, and the image of Li Huan, as straight as a knife blade, appeared in his mind when he left.

And the man's sudden change in expression when he casually mentioned Shen Jingzhe.

All of this made him suspicious of his elder brother who was so approachable and always exuded an angelic aura.

"Li Huan..." His eyes darkened and he pondered.

Han Xian: "Who are you talking about?"

Li Huan didn't want his life, but he wanted to stop him from looking for Tang Qiaoer by any means.

Even without him, I believe the Tang family and the rescue team can rescue her.

Therefore, the purpose of the person who used Li Huan behind the scenes has become obvious!

But why, at the critical moment, did Li Huan let him go?

Did he suddenly change his personality, or is he really Tang Qiaoer's fifth brother?

Thousands of thoughts come flooding in.

Before Shen Jingjue had time to think deeply, there was a knock on the door.

Han Xian hurried over, opened the door, and was startled:

"Tang, Mr. Tang?!"

Tang Wanting was supported by his second son Tang Xu, standing outside the door, and spoke with an obscure look in his eyes:

"Is Mr. Shen in there? Can I talk to him?"

Han Xian quickly stepped aside and respectfully invited the Tang father and son in.

Shen Jingjue was shocked to see the respected elder suddenly come to visit. Even though he was exhausted, he still struggled to get up:

"Dr. Tang..."

"You are injured, don't move!" Tang Wanting hurried forward and put his hand on his arm.

Seeing the man tortured into this broken state in order to save her sister, Tang Xu felt distressed, guilty, and a complex mixture of emotions that were difficult to describe.

"Mr. Tang... I'm sorry." Shen Jingjue's pale thin lips slightly opened, and his voice was deep and bitter.

He didn't know what to say, but he felt that he should apologize to Tang Qiaoer's father.

You should also apologize to Tang Qiaoer.

"Jing Jue, there's nothing to say. I don't blame you."

Tang Wanting looked at Shen Jingjue deeply, his throat choked, "My daughter is willful and spoiled. Thanks to you for protecting her and helping her along the way, she has been safe until now.

It is our Tang family that owes you, and I should be the one to say sorry to you."

Shen Jing felt his eyes getting hot, as if a pair of sharp tweezers were pinching the tip of his heart and pulling it upwards, causing a sharp pain in his chest.

"In fact, I have acknowledged you from a long time ago. In my eyes, you are my child just like Ah Yue and Ah Xu. I treat you like my own son."

Tang Wanting's eyes were gentle, with tears in them. "Although you and Qiaoqiao broke up, I won't be angry with you for that. If you have any troubles in Shen's company in the future, feel free to come to me and I will definitely lend a hand. After all, you helped me many times in the past, and I should repay you for that kindness."

Tang Xu couldn't help but be stunned.

He was still nervous when he came, fearing that his father would be angry with Shen Jingjue because of the breakup of the young couple and Qiaoqiao's frostbite and coma. Unexpectedly, his father was so insightful and understood the greater good.

No wonder this underworld gangster has so many people willing to follow him and has remained popular for decades.

Shen Jing felt his throat was torn in pain and he couldn't speak.

Thinking of Tang Qiao'er's disheartening words to him, his heart ached, "Director Tang, I..."

"I no longer force you to be with Qiaoqiao. No matter what choice you make, we respect you."

Tang Wanting's nose was sore. "Before, you loved Qiaoqiao, and you were willing to sacrifice for her. It was human nature. But now... since there is no love, I won't let her bother you again. I don't want Qiaoqiao to become a burden or a nuisance to you."

No, it's not!

Shen Jingjue's breathing became heavy. He raised his injured body with great effort and was about to say something.

At this moment, the door of the ward suddenly opened——

Shen Jingzhe was sitting alone in a wheelchair, entering the sight of the three people.
