Huo Tingyun frowned, "Heartbreak?"
Xu Linchuan exhaled a puff of smoke, "Your ex-wife is truly remarkable, picking on my sister."
Su Qi bullying Xu Linyun?
"She's an orphan, how could she bully a rich young lady?"
"My sister has a pure and kind nature. Your ex-wife, on the other hand, was an adopted daughter, living under someone else's roof since childhood. She's always been cunning. Didn't she scheme her way to your—"
*Thwack—*
Xu Linchuan was hit with a punch, staggering back half a step.
One side of his face instantly swelled.
He tasted blood in his mouth.
Xu Linchuan spat out a mouthful of blood and stared deeply at Huo Tingyun, "Tingyun, you've changed."
"Mind your own mouth. She's not someone you can lecture."
"Well said. But don't forget, she's your ex-wife now. Besides, Su Qi has another man in her heart. Tingyun, you're an adult. You'd better think clearly. My sister is waiting for you to marry her. You were the one who swore your love for her."
After speaking, Xu Linchuan slammed the door and left the ward.
Huo Tingyun rubbed his knuckles. His fingers had drawn blood from that punch.
By the time Su Qi left the hospital, it was late at night.
She drove back to the villa.
It was the weekend, and she had planned to pack up and move out of the villa.
She had already rented a small apartment near her company.
Although the conditions were vastly different from the villa, this was her home, and the home for the baby in her womb.
It was already eleven o'clock at night when she arrived at the villa. Sister Wu had kept hot food for her.
Su Qi ate a few bites before going upstairs to take a bath. After coming out of the bathroom, she quickly packed her luggage.
In the garden, the sound of a car engine turning off could be heard.
At this hour, who else could it be but that man.
Su Qi sped up her packing, zipped up her bag, and headed for the door.
At the top of the stairs, she ran into Huo Tingyun.
The man's cold and imposing face showed no trace of his recent hospital stay.
"Where are you going?"
Huo Tingyun glanced at Su Qi, who was holding a bag of luggage. While it wasn't much, it was clearly a sign of moving out.
Su Qi tightened her grip on the bag's handle, "I'm moving out."
This house never belonged to her.
Besides, she didn't want to be woken up in the middle of the night anymore.
"Moving out? Spreading your wings? Su Qi?"
The man pressed closer.
Even though Su Qi was on the stairs and he was below, she still felt an oppressive aura from him.
"We're getting a divorce. I don't want any of the assets, and I don't want to live here anymore."
Su Qi didn't understand what the problem was.
Why was this man reacting so strongly?
"What? Moving out to live with your young boyfriend?"
"He's not my boyfriend, just a colleague. And even if he were, it's none of your business!"
This man was too hypocritical!
Huo Tingyun and Xu Linyun were considered a perfect couple in the entertainment industry.
Even though Huo Tingyun and Xu Linyun had broken up three years ago, the public still believed they were meant to be.
As a result, after she married Huo Tingyun, there was no wedding, and they never appeared in public together.
Even when she saw paparazzi photos of their rumored hand-holding, she couldn't be jealous.
Why?
She had nothing with her colleague, yet this man was making a fuss.
"None of my business?" Huo Tingyun's handsome face instantly clouded over. He cornered Su Qi, "Say that again?"
"What do you want!"
This man was acting strangely tonight. Was he furious just because she was moving out?
"Linyun went to the hospital to visit Dad today. She meant well, why did you make things difficult for her?"
Su Qi just wanted to laugh, "I bullied her? What am I capable of? She's a rich young lady, doted on by her parents and spoiled by you. How could I possibly bully her?"
So, she had been overthinking it.
How could Huo Tingyun be angry just because she was moving out?
It turned out it was because Xu Linyun was wronged!
Xu Linyun was wronged, so she was blamed and used as a punching bag.
Then, what about the grievances she had endured for over a year? Who could she cry to?
That's right, he didn't care!
But it was no longer her concern!
Huo Tingyun, who did you think you were!
"Dad never liked Xu Linyun. She came looking for trouble, what does that have to do with me? Huo Tingyun, you can't always blame everything on me!"
Su Qi was completely exhausted!
She didn't want to argue with this man anymore. She shoved him away forcefully, abandoning her luggage, and walked straight towards the stairs.
"Did I give you permission to leave?!"
Huo Tingyun grabbed Su Qi's hand. Unexpectedly, Su Qi bit him. Huo Tingyun, in pain, let go. Su Qi lost her balance and tumbled straight down the stairs.
"Ah—"
A scream, followed by a dull pain.
By the time Huo Tingyun reacted, Su Qi had already rolled down the long staircase.
She finally hit the corner of the sofa and came to a complete stop.
Su Qi was wearing a linen dress, a light beige color. The blood seeping from beneath her soaked into the beige hem, a stark and painful sight.
"Su Qi—!"
*Beep! Beep!*
Su Qi opened her eyes to see an oxygen mask on her face and a expanse of white.
She quickly regained consciousness.
She was in the hospital before she passed out.
She had fallen down the stairs.
The baby...
Her baby...
Su Qi grabbed the doctor's hand, "My..."
Xu Linchuan, wearing a mask, said, "Your baby is fine. It's safe."
Su Qi couldn't believe it. She had fallen down such a high flight of stairs.
"Your baby is as strong as you are. Take good care of yourself. Next time, you might not be so lucky."
After Xu Linchuan spoke, he left the ward.
Back in his office, he removed his mask.
Even though he tried his best to control his shock, Xu Linchuan almost lost control.
Su Qi's face flashed before his eyes.
How could it be her—
How was it possible—
Anyone else, but why her?!
When the nurse knocked and entered the office, she found the entire room filled with smoke.
"Cough cough... Dr. Xu, are you heartbroken lately? Why are you smoking so much?"
It was the first time the nurse had seen Xu Linchuan smoke so heavily. He hadn't smoked in a long time, but he started again a couple of days ago, and today he had escalated dramatically, smoking with ferocious intensity. Even with the ventilation system on, it took a full ten minutes for the smoke smell to dissipate.
The ashtray on his desk was piled high with cigarette butts.
"This is Miss Su's examination report."
The nurse placed the report on the desk and turned to leave the office.
She couldn't help but mutter, could the number one heartthrob of Ren'ai Hospital also be heartbroken? No, Dr. Xu doesn't seem to have a girlfriend.
It's rumored that Dr. Xu fell in love at first sight with a young girl three years ago and searched for her for three years without success.
In these three years, Dr. Xu has had no other women around him.
After the nurse left, Xu Linchuan stared intently at the report on his desk.
Su Qi, twenty-three years old, graduated from Shencheng University...
That day was a scorching midsummer.
