Chapter 571   Once Cousin Falls in Love

At this moment, Beijing’s First People’s Hospital…

Because Tang Wangjin had to leave the next day, he specially set aside time to treat Qiao Xiyan and Song Fengwan to a meal today. Tang Jingci had a follow-up checkup at the hospital, so Song Fengwan took two bus stops and went straight to the hospital.

At this moment, there were many people in the hospital, so she sat quietly in the lobby and waited. It was already the flu season, so she was wearing a mask and even sneezed a few times.

She was a little impatient from waiting, so she thought about going upstairs to take a look.

While waiting for the elevator, she met the He family again. It was He Shiqing and He Maozhen.

Because her hair was loose, she was wearing a mask, and she was squeezed into the crowd, they didn’t seem to notice her.

“Your grandmother will be discharged today. In the future, you don’t have to work so hard. Just focus on accompanying your mother.” The first time Song Fengwan saw He Maozhen was at the He family’s filiation banquet last year.

He had been obese and had a big belly. At this moment, he had lost a lot of weight, but he was in high spirits, and his face was glowing. Clearly, something happy was about to happen.

“Your mother is old. Since she’s pregnant, you have to pay more attention.”

He Shiqing felt as if a raging fire was devouring her internal organs and burning her heart. She cursed in her heart but still had to smile on the surface as she responded.

“But Dad, I haven’t been to work in a long time. Mom has already hired a lot of nurses…” She tried her best to sound calm.

“Shiqing, you’re a girl, and you’ll get married in the future. Don’t be busy with work all day. You entered the company as soon as you graduated. Just like your grandmother said, don’t let work affect your marriage.

“Girls still have to prioritize their family. It’s not good to keep running around outside.

“When your younger brother grows up and takes over the company, I’ll be at ease. But you’re the older sister. Your mother and I are getting old, so we still have to count on you to take care of him more in the future.”

Younger brother? He Shiqing tightened her grip on her bag. How big is her stomach? How can he already confirm the gender now?

All these years, she had been working hard in the company. Even if she didn’t make any contributions, she had worked hard. Now that he had a son, he wanted to kick her away?

Song Fengwan glanced at the father and daughter not far away from the corner of her eye.

He Shiqing smiled. “Of course. I’ll take good care of my brother.”

But her fingers holding her handbag were blue and white, and her fingertips were digging into her palm.

Tere

“Do you really think so?” He Maozhen raised his eyebrows.

“Yes, I’ve always wanted a younger brother. When he grows up, we can be companions. When I encounter issues in the future, I can also have someone to discuss them with. How good would that be?” He Shiqing smiled gently and magnanimously without the slightest displeasure.

He Maozhen nodded in satisfaction. “Okay, stay at home in the future and take care of your mother more. At the same time, settle your marriage properly. You’re not young anymore. You can’t delay it any longer.”

He Shiqing’s back stiffened. He hadn’t urged her to get married before, but now he couldn’t wait to marry her off. He was obviously worried that she would bully his son at home and snatch the assets.

This child hasn’t even formed, and the gender is unknown, yet he’s already paving the way for the child. He’s really a loving father.

Heh…

How ridiculous!

After the elevator arrived, a group of people crowded in. Song Fengwan stood by the door and watched coldly.

Back then, family planning had been very strict, and it had been too difficult to have a second child. He Shiqing had thought that by chasing away her biological sister, Yu Manxi, she could monopolize everything.

Who knew that her mother would become pregnant at this time? She had also fallen into a situation where she was about to be abandoned. The heavens were clear. There would be retribution for everything one did…

***

After Song Fengwan arrived at the floor for the checkup, she saw Tang Wangjin and Duan Linbai at the nurses’ station from afar. There were many medical stafff and patients gathered around them, seemingly asking for autographs.

“Little Sister…” The moment Duan Linbai saw Song Fengwan, he wanted to call her Sister-in-Law, but he closed his mouth. Getting used to this is terrible.

Fortunately, the surroundings were chaotic, so no one noticed what he said.

“Wanwan, you’re here.” Tang Wangjin greeted her across the crowd.

Song Fengwan stood quietly at the side and looked around, but she didn’t see Tang Jingci and Qiao Xiyan.

Not long later, Tang Jingci came out of a room. Just as she was about to call her, she saw her looking around and walking toward the opposite side of the corridor with a guilty conscience.

“What is she doing? The restroom isn’t over there,” Song Fengwan muttered and followed.

When Tang Jingci had her follow-up examination, Tang Wangjin and Duan Linbai were surrounded by people asking for autographs. Other than the doctor, there were only her and Qiao Xiyan in the doctor’s office.

“Please roll up your sleeve. I’ll check you.” The doctor stared at the screen and checked Tang Jingci’s electronic medical record.

When Tang Jingci lowered her head and rolled up her sleeve, Qiao Xiyan suddenly leaned over and whispered into her ear, “After the checkup, look for me in the left corridor…”

The man’s breathing was clear, and his deep voice lingered in her ears, making her heart tremble.

“I have something to say to you alone.” Qiao Xiyan turned around and went out.

This caused Tang Jingci to walk to the other side after seeing the doctor.

***

At the end of the left corridor, there was a small, concave space. Opposite it was a large expanse of windows. Qiao Xiyan was dressed casually today. He looked cold and upright like a pine tree, tall and slender. He was leaning against the wall while smoking, and the smoke was suffocating.

From his side profile, Qiao Xiyan was truly not a cold and severe person. Even his jawline was well-defined. When he looked at her, his eyes narrowed, and he looked serious and slightly angry.

He raised his hand and extinguished the cigarette in the trash can on the inside. At this moment, a warm breeze blew in from the window…

The smoke dispersed and rushed toward Tang Jingci.

She subconsciously squinted to avoid the smoke, and her vision was full of grayish-white smoke…

“Mmm.” She frowned.

“Tang Jingci…” His voice was hoarse and low. “Did you have a good chat with Duan Linbai just now?”

“We’re just ordinary business partners…” Tang Jingci bit her lip. “I don’t have any feelings for him, but…

“But I like you.”

Qiao Xiyan couldn’t describe how he felt. He was probably very happy.

“What did Uncle-Master say last time? You even wrote a love letter to someone else?” Qiao Xiyan knew very well that it was before they interacted, but…

It was uncomfortable.

“It was in junior high. Everyone makes errors in judgment. At the time, my standards weren’t good, and that person seemed to be quite a scumbag,” Tang Jingci said softly.

“Are your standards better now?” Qiao Xiyan stared at the person with her head lowered.

“Yes.”

“Raise your head…”

Tang Jingci obediently raised her head…

“Do you see who the person in front of you is?”

“Yes.”

“Do you like him?” His voice became deeper.

“Like…”

“Then keep looking at me. Don’t look away from me. Just look at me.”

It was a warm morning in early spring, and the wind was gently blowing in from the window. The sun was warm on her back, and when the sunlight landed on the glass, it reflected a colorful glaze. When Song Fengwan walked over, she saw two people hugging…

My ascetic and aloof cousin actually took Big Sister Tang…

Qiao Xiyan really wasn’t interested in love, but he was stubborn and determined, just like how he devoted himself to the jade industry.

Once he fell in love, it was until death.

The first person to see Song Fengwan was Tang Jingci.

Qiao Xiyan felt her abnormality and turned his head to look. He saw his dumbfounded cousin.

Song Fengwan thought that the two of them might have gotten together, but when she saw them being intimate with her own eyes, her mind went blank from shock!

This man who is full of silly talk and flirting is definitely not my cold and arrogant cousin.

What fear of heights? What hugging? When it comes to sweet nothings, he’s even comparable to Third Brother. He can simply kill people.

Song Fengwan blushed after hearing what he said, and her head was in a daze.

I must have gone to the wrong place. This person full of sweet nothings is definitely not my cousin. Besides…

This is a hospital, a public place. Can’t you pay attention to your image?

“Erm… You guys continue. Hehe…” Song Fengwan turned around stiffly and tried to leave this troublesome place. But the next second, someone grabbed the backpack back.

Seu

meo

Then…

She was dragged into the small space.

“Song Fengwan, let’s talk…” Qiao Xiyan loosened his fingers and let go of her backpack.

“Talk… talk about what?” Song Fengwan smiled bitterly. It turned out that breaking people’s good deeds was such an awkward thing.

Indeed, retribution would come no matter what you did. In the past, she and Fu Chen had always been the ones to scare others. This time, it was finally her turn.

The heavens are indeed clear. What should come will come…
