Chapter 547: Chapter 546: He Won’t Come Back (First Update)
In the hospital room.
Qin Keqin was very active about Joe and Luo Xiaolang’s marriage.
Joe laughed, “Thank you Auntie, I will try my best to manage my relationship with Xiaolang when it comes to my parents, but if I really need help, I will ask for your intervention.”
“You can reach out to me anytime.” Qin Keqin said straightforwardly.
“Hmm.”
“By the way, what are your plans now? There is another competition coming soon, isn’t there?” Qin Keqin asked with concern.
“Xiaolang’s health matters the most. We have withdrawn from this competition.”
“Joe, you’re a real man!” Qin Keqin praised openly and genuinely, “A hundred times better than some people.”
“You flatter me, Auntie. I just want to take care of Xiaolang more. As for medals and honors, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”
“This is what a good man does. Joe, I feel very relieved entrusting Xiaolang to you.”
“Thank you, Auntie.”
Qin Keqin smiled.
At that moment, she truly felt that Luo Xiaolang and Joe were the best choices.
As for her son.
Qin Keqin turned to look at Yin Qin.
Yin Qin had been nibbling an apple relentlessly, down to the core. He was clearly preoccupied, his mind heavy.
If he regretted it now, it was all his own fault.
Yin Qin seemed to feel her gaze. He turned to look at his mother. A second later, he realized he was still gnawing on an apple core. He quickly tossed it away, stood up from the sofa, and said jokingly, “My whole body aches, Xiaolang, you really want to beat me to death!”
Luo Xiaolang turned to look at Yin Qin.
His face was a comedy of bruises.
Yin Qin seemed to have let it go. He laughed and walked towards Joe, “Don’t upset her in the future, beware of domestic violence.”
Joe quickly responded, “Of course not. Xiaolang’s power really scared me yesterday, so I will only pamper her, not upset her.”
The tone was joking, but the affection was real.
Yin Qin’s smile became strained. He patted Joe on the shoulder, “I wish you a happy marriage. I’m going back to my room to lie down. The doctor said it would take ten days to a month for me to fully recover.”
Joe nodded.
Yin Qin walked away calmly.
Left the hospital room where Luo Xiaolang was no longer there, and returned to his own room.
He lay there on the bed.
His mind was filled with images of Joe and Luo Xiaolang together.
His vision blurred.
He lost her.
He lost Luo Xiaolang.
Tears streamed uncontrollably down his face.
The nurse came in to tidy his room and saw Yin Qin crying continuously while lying on the bed, his eyes intensely red. The sight was pitiful.
“Mr. Yin, what’s wrong? Are you in pain? Shall I call the doctor for you?” The nurse asked hastily.
“My heart hurts.” Yin Qin said, tears falling even harder.
“Ah?”
“What should I do if I’m heartbroken?” Yin Qin asked.
“...” The nurse, being in her 40s or 50s, didn’t know how to comfort Yin Qin at the moment. But it was unbearable to see such a big boy crying so heartbreakingly. She sat next to him and said calmly, “Mr. Yin, time heals all wounds. If this girl is gone, there will be another one. You are young, handsome, and wealthy. There are plenty of girls who like you.”
“Am I very handsome?” Yin Qin, who was crying all over his face, asked.
The nurse was taken aback.
Was that the point here?
“Handsome.” The nurse quickly replied.
“I’m all swollen up, yet you still tell me I’m handsome. You must be lying to me...” his crying intensified.
The nurse was completely at a loss with how to deal with Yin Qin.
“You can leave, let me cry for a while on my own.”
“Then I’ll be leaving. Just don’t do anything foolish.”
“No.”
“Are you really sure?” The nurse asked uneasily.
She was really afraid that he might jump from the building out of desperation while crying as if he had lost his wife.
“I belong to a distinguished family with a huge business. It would be a waste if I die.”
“...” If he could think like this, then probably there weren’t any major problems.
The nurse left.
Yin Qin felt even more miserable at that moment.
He felt like everyone didn’t want to deal with him anymore.
He felt like he would spend the rest of his life alone.
And so, a week passed like this.
“You mean...” Ji Baili was a little nervous.
“Well, no. Maybe he really is busy.” Yin Qin didn’t want Ji Baili to be too worried.
“Should we go look for him now or call the cops?” Ji Baili quickly asked.
“Not for now. After work, I will go to his place and check, or I will ask Song Zhizhi.”
“Hmm, let me know if there’s any news.”
“Alright.”
Ji Baili left.
After he left, Yin Qin became restless himself.
He felt like something had happened.
He left Milky Way immediately, dialed Song Zhizhi’s number while driving.
She simply hung up on his call.
Fuck!
What the hell is going on?!
Yin Qin didn’t care about anything else, he drove straight to Ji Baijian’s apartment.
He knocked on the door.
There was no answer from inside.
After thinking for a bit, he decided to wait by the door.
He just didn’t believe that they wouldn’t come back if he waited.
There he was, a lone man sitting at the door, looking like he’d been abandoned.
Who knew how much time had passed.
The elevator opened.
Yin Qin saw Song Zhizhi exiting the elevator.
When Yin Qin saw Song Zhizhi, he rose to his feet with a start, even excited.
Song Zhizhi seriously felt that Yin Qin was just like the Tank in her home.
Yin Qin was quite excited, “Why didn’t you answer my call!”
“I was in a meeting.”
“You didn’t call me back after the meetings?”
“I forgot. I was too busy.”
“...” Yin Qin glared at Song Zhizhi.
Song Zhizhi opened her home’s door and entered.
Yin Qin followed her in.
Tank, wagging its tail excitedly, ran over. The moment it arrived, it looked around. Not seeing Ji Baijian, it seemed a little disappointed and stayed around Song Zhizhi
Yin Qin couldn’t hold back anymore, “Where is Ji Baijian? Where did Ji Baijian go? What is he doing?!”
Song Zhizhi didn’t answer.
Yin Qin was quite angry, “Song Zhizhi, where is Ji Baijian!”
“Have you eaten dinner yet?” Song Zhizhi asked.
Yin Qin just looked at her.
At that moment, he felt like he was going to be driven mad by Song Zhizhi.
“I can only cook noodles. Would you like to eat together?” Song Zhizhi asked him.
Yin Qin hesitated for a while.
“Eat.”
Song Zhizhi smiled and then went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Yin Qin sat on the sofa, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
He immediately ran into the kitchen and saw the chaos Song Zhizhi had caused.
He swallowed the words at the tip of his tongue, seething with anger, “Tell me Song Zhizhi, can you really cook or not.”
“No.” Song Zhizhi directly answered.
“Fuck, I must have owed you in my previous life!” Yin Qin rolled up his sleeves, “I’ll do it!”
“You can?” Song Zhizhi didn’t quite believe it.
“I can’t either, but I don’t think I’m as dumb as you.”
“...”
As a result...
The two messed up the kitchen creating a hot and smoky scene, in the end, no one got to eat.
There was an awkward atmosphere in the room.
Yin Qin, feeling frustrated, demanded, “Bring Ji Baijian back!”
Without him...
Both were helpless in their lives.
Song Zhizhi said, murmuring, “He will not come back.”
Yin Qin was staring at Song Zhizhi.
He will not come back... what does that mean?!
