Qin Sheng slept soundly the whole night. She didn't know if the grape juice had had a calming effect. When she opened her eyes and looked at the clock on the wall, she saw that it was already nine o'clock in the morning.
She turned around and sat up. "Ha Siqi, let's go find my uncle! Go and tell him that I agree to marry you!"
Ha Siqi stood up. "Okay, let's go."
He walked to the door of the room, opened it, and told the bodyguard outside that he wanted to see Gong Mochen. The bodyguard told him to go back to the room and wait.
Not long after, Gong Mochen walked into the room.
Qin Sheng was a little surprised that Gong Mochen would come in person. She threw herself into Ha Siqi's arms. "Didn't you ask me to marry Ha Siqi? Well, I agreed!"
Ha Siqi obediently cooperated with the girl and said, "Yes, Qin Sheng agreed. We, we did it yesterday!"
He'd spoken with a guilty conscience.
Gong Mochen glanced at Ha Siqi's guilty face. How could Ha Siqi's personality win over Qin Sheng?
He was sure that Qin Sheng wouldn't fall in love with a boy with Ha Siqi's personality.
He turned to look at the big bed, his expression deliberately tense.
Qin Sheng stared at the man's changing face. "You asked me to marry Ha Siqi. I'm now his. Can you let us go?"
Gong Mochen turned to Qin Sheng and said in a deep voice, "I agreed. Since you agreed, you can go with Ha Siqi. Nie Feng, take them back to the Ha family."
The man's straightforward answer made Qin Sheng's heart palpitate. He didn't look angry at all.
Ha Siqi pulled the absent-minded Qin Sheng out of the door, and followed Nie Feng out of the low tunnel of the basement.
In the room, Gong Mochen sat on the bed, his hand touching the grape juice. Even if it was fake, his heart was still aching. If one day she really fell in love with another man and really married him, would he die from the pain?
He smiled bitterly. When that time came, she should be happy, and he would be long gone.
He shouldn't be so angry. He didn't want to scare his baby.
Tears welled up in his eyes. 'Baby, you will be happy. Even if I become a ghost, I will find someone better than me and bring him to love you!
'There is a kind of love called letting go.
'There is a kind of love called silence.
'There is a kind of love called silence.
'Silent love, silent love, silent love...'
***
When Qin Sheng returned to the Ha family, Ha Siqi's parents announced to the public that they were engaged. At the same time, they also announced the news of Qin Yunting's fake pregnancy.
The news also included a medical evaluation. Many authoritative doctors in the obstetrics and gynecology department had proved that it was not a fetus, but a sarcoma.
The news was in an uproar. Everyone blamed Qin Yunting for ruining the engagement. However, Qin Yunting, who was despised by the entire country, had disappeared. It was as if she had vanished from the face of the earth.
No one bothered about whether she was dead or alive. Soon, her name was forgotten.
Qin Sheng wasn't interested in Qin Yunting's news. It was fine if she just looked at it. Even now, she only cared about Gong Mochen's reaction.
"Will he be sad? Because I became your woman?" she murmured softly.
She clearly remembered that the man's face only darkened for a moment. He hadn't been angry at all.
Ha Siqi didn't know how to comfort the girl. Her hurt eyes made his heart ache. "Yes, he will definitely regret not cherishing you properly!"
Qin Sheng forced a smile. If Gong Mochen really had a little bit of her in his heart, he wouldn't have let Nie Feng send her back to the Ha family, right?
She just wanted to know if he really didn't love her... But why was it so difficult?
Tired... She was really tired.
Ever since she came to the Ha family, she had been ill. The Ha family had gotten a group of doctors from God knows where, and even famous doctors from abroad had come to treat her.
However, her illness had become a challenge to their medical skills. No matter who it was, they couldn't treat her, so she'd laid in bed for half a month.
Until one day, Chu Xia called.
"Qin Sheng! Get the f*ck up! Are you really going to die without that man's love? Do you want to pretend to be sick and stay in this country? Are all the men in the world dead to you? If you don't get up, I'll hire ten gigolos to go to the Ha family to see if you still need that man!" Chu Xia shouted, her voice booming through the phone.
No one understood Qin Sheng's thoughts better than Chu Xia. Gong Mochen was Qin Sheng's life. Without Gong Mochen, Qin Sheng was as good as dead. Even if she hired all the doctors in the world, they wouldn't be able to treat Qin Sheng's illness, unless someone could expose Qin Sheng's intention to pretend to be sick so she could stay in this country.
"Who said I'm going to die? I don't want a gigolo!" Qin Sheng said stubbornly.
"Well, get up! Come shopping with me! You promised to be my son's godmother! You can't go back on your promise!" Chu Xia said.
"Okay, okay. I'll live and help to raise your son!" Qin Sheng wiped the tears that silently flowed down her cheeks. What was she actually doing? Because of a man, she almost forgot her best friend!
Chu Xia and the baby still needed her. She didn't want to die... She also didn't want to pretend to be sick to stay in this country for the sake of that man!
She sat up. "Tell me, what do you want to buy?"
The nurse beside her was shocked. "Miss Qin, why are you up? What do you want?"
"I want to get up. I have an appointment with my friend to go shopping. Help me get my clothes," Qin Sheng instructed.
The sudden appearance of the spirited girl surprised everyone in the Ha family. They had been hanging their heads every day. They were afraid that if this daughter-in-law was not taken care of, Gong mochen would take their lives!
When the family received the news, they immediately prepared clothes for Qin Sheng, and they brought a car to send her to see Chu Xia.
It had been a long time since Qin Sheng had had a proper meal. Qin Sheng felt that her legs were weak as she walked. No matter if she'd lost her appetite, she would force herself to drink the nutritious porridge to revitalize her strength.
When the car arrived outside the shopping mall, she saw Chu Xia waiting for her.
Chu Xia ran towards Qin Sheng and pounced on her. "When I found out that you were sick, I was so scared! Fortunately, I wasn't an idiot and soon realised it was nothing serious!"
Qin Sheng pursed her lips. "How is my godson, anyway? I hope you're protecting him."
Chu Xia touched her slightly bulging belly "He's very good, very strong! Qin Sheng, I called you out because I have another matter to discuss with you... My belly is getting bigger and bigger. It's not convenient for me to stay in this country anymore. You know that Sikong Jue is also here."
Qin Sheng nodded. "I know. When do you plan to leave?"
"Well, I was thinking... If you want to leave, we can leave together," said Chu Xia.
Qin Sheng pursed her lips. "Okay... When do you want to leave?"
Chu Xia heaved a sigh of relief. She had finally completed the mission and persuaded Qin Sheng to leave. "We'll leave next Monday. Ha Siqi can come with you, okay?"
