"With me, you don't need to be sober. Living in a haze is actually more pleasant."
His words, each time, were so captivating.
Speaking was not like speaking, but more like reciting poetry.
Just listening to Qin Yusheng speak was a wonderfully comforting experience.
"Mr. Qin, you're so good to me, is it because you truly love me, or because you simply want to compensate for the guilt and regrets you have towards your first love, or perhaps you see me as your first love?"
In the end, she didn't ask the question aloud.
She, Su Qi, was never one to be so sentimental and conflicted.
If Qin Yusheng was good to her, she would be appreciative and accept it.
If Qin Yusheng was no longer good to her, she would quietly leave.
Su Qi smiled faintly, her radiance as bright as a chrysanthemum, "Being able to live in a haze is also a kind of luck and fortune."
"After marriage, this fortune and luck will all be yours. You will be the happiest, most carefree woman in the world. You can do what you love, you can sleep until you wake up naturally, eat what you want, do what you want, and see all the mountains and rivers."
How beautiful, like a dream, utterly unrealistic.
"Does the Qin family know about your intention to marry me?" Su Qi finally asked.
As soon as the words fell, she saw Qin Yusheng's expression stiffen, and Su Qi couldn't help but chuckle mischievously.
Just as she had guessed.
The Qin family must not know about Qin Yusheng's desire to marry her.
After all, the Qin family was a prominent and wealthy family in the capital, involved in heavy industry, with power and influence.
When she married into the Huo family, she was not well-received. She didn't believe Qin Yusheng could convince the entire Qin family to accept her as their daughter-in-law.
She had used Huo Tingyun's pity, which was morally questionable, but it had also gained her recognition and attention, and she had capitalized on it.
Wealthy families looked down upon women who acted this way, especially someone like her.
After all, she was Huo Tingyun's ex-wife and was carrying his child. Marrying into the Qin family like this would surely cause an uproar.
The current lack of reaction was probably because Qin Yusheng had acted on his own initiative without informing the Qin family.
"I am an adult, and my marriage is my own decision. It's not for my family to interfere. It's me marrying a wife and having children, not them. Moreover, they can't help me with this kind of matter."
Qin Yusheng chuckled helplessly and embraced Su Qi from behind.
Su Qi didn't struggle. As the cold wind blew, she felt a warmth spreading through her.
A scene from the morning flashed in her mind.
The man's face was so pale, as if he were ill. Despite looking the same, he seemed to have lost his soul.
She thought that after she left, he would be relieved and happy.
Why was Huo Tingyun's reaction different from what she had imagined?
Su Qi sighed softly.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Let's go inside for some hot porridge. The sea breeze at night can be quite cold."
Qin Yusheng led Su Qi into the ship's cabin.
The entire large ship had been chartered for them. There were only the two of them. Inside the cabin, a band was playing, the lighting was romantic, and the table was filled with her favorite dishes.
In Yang Tianhao's words, it was a case of hardship giving way to sweetness, escaping a sea of suffering and finding a precious love.
"If you have time, you should still inform the Qin family. I don't want to be your wife in obscurity."
Su Qi took a sip of warm milk and said faintly.
"Yes, I will resolve these matters. You don't need to worry too much. Your identity and circumstances cannot become a gulf that separates us."
So, when a man loves a woman, everything is not a problem.
Only when there is no love are there all sorts of difficulties and challenges.
To avoid loving her, Huo Tingyun had found countless excuses.
And the man before her, to love her, even crossed the boundaries of social status and family background without a second thought.
Su Qi chuckled.
"Thinking of something interesting?"
Su Qi smiled and shook her head, "It's all in the past, not worth mentioning."
Late at night, Qin Yusheng drove her home. The car stopped downstairs. Su Qi got out, and seeing Qin Yusheng also get out, she asked, "Do you want to come up with me?"
"Of course. It's so late, I'm worried about you."
Su Qi wrinkled her nose, "I'm not a child anymore."
Qin Yusheng chuckled and raised his hand, his finger lightly flicking her nose, "In my eyes, you are a child."
Qin Yusheng escorted her to the door and left like a gentleman, not even stepping inside for a glass of water.
Su Qi closed the door and took out her phone, only to see the text messages from Gu Tangxue.
Not only Gu Tangxue, but also Lin Te's calls.
It was so late, and Lin Te had called so many times. She had set her phone to silent, so there were many missed calls in her contacts that she hadn't seen.
Su Qi pursed her lips and put down her phone.
Never mind. Since they were divorced, it had nothing to do with her anymore.
Su Qi slid her screen and deleted the record of the missed calls.
She slept until the next morning. On the way to the company, Su Qi took a bite of toast while opening her phone.
There were several more missed calls.
They were all from Lin Te.
As Su Qi was contemplating, Li Caiyi's call came in.
The phone vibrated in her hand, and Su Qi's heart trembled.
She had a vague premonition of something bad.
Su Qi answered the phone, "Caiyi? Good morning. Why are you calling so early? What's wrong?"
"Sister Su Qi, good morning. Tingyun is sick..."
"He's sick, he should find a doctor. I'm not a doctor. You should look for him, not me."
Su Qi sighed. She wasn't a miracle doctor who could cure Huo Tingyun.
"Tingyun..." Li Caiyi hesitated for a moment before stammering, "Tingyun has been calling your name all night. Even with a high fever, he kept calling for you. The doctor said Tingyun's internal organs are damaged and his life might be in danger. Our wedding has also been postponed."
"I express my condolences. I hope Mr. Huo recovers soon."
Su Qi's attitude was extremely cold.
Li Caiyi was stunned for a long moment, disbelieving, "Sister Su Qi, why are you so cold-hearted?"
"I'm cold-hearted?"
Su Qi burst into laughter.
"I was married to Huo Tingyun for over a year. He rarely came home, and he said countless humiliating and abusive words to me. I made countless soups, I left countless lights on. I once had a heart full of passion and love, but what did I get? I received Huo Tingyun's indifference, his cold stares, his humiliation, and his scolding!"
"You blame me for being cold-blooded? I wish Huo Tingyun would die sooner. The only reason I'm not cursing him now is out of my own upbringing!"
"That's enough. Don't say another word!"
Su Qi hung up the phone abruptly. Her chest heaved, and her stomach ached faintly. She took several deep breaths before she calmed down.
Her fingertips were still trembling slightly.
She was already divorced. She wanted to escape the past pain and nightmares, so why was everyone nagging, preventing her from escaping this sea of suffering!
Was it that difficult to embrace a new life?!
Su Qi forcefully swallowed, suppressing the anger and unwillingness.
When she was in the sea of suffering, everyone watched with cold eyes.
When she finally escaped the sea of suffering, everyone called her cold-blooded.
No one had experienced what she had gone through, and no one had the right to judge her.
