Gu Susu's heart trembled. She reached out to touch his face, only then realizing that Qin Tianyi had actually come to the hospital.
Qin Tianyi grabbed the hand she extended and asked coldly, "Where did you go? Do you know you're pregnant?"
Gu Susu dared not meet his gaze and said, "Yes, I just went out yesterday to look for the child."
"Knowing your physical condition, you still took the risk. Are you tired of living? You've miscarried now, and the child that's gone is mine, right?"
Gu Susu couldn't suppress the discomfort in her heart. She turned her head to the side and said, "I didn't know it would be like this."
Qin Tianyi asked again, "You knew you were pregnant, why didn't you tell me? Do you know how much I longed for a child of my own?"
"I'm sorry, I hadn't figured out how to tell you..." Gu Susu said, then suddenly looked at him and asked, "Do you know why I'm pregnant? I... I've actually been taking birth control pills."
Now that things had come to this, she had nothing to hide from him. She couldn't understand why her birth control pills had failed.
"I know, that's why I switched your birth control pills," Qin Tianyi said helplessly. "I know you have someone else in your heart and don't want to have a child for me. It seems I was wrong. Even if you got pregnant, you still wouldn't cherish the child in your womb."
"How could you secretly switch my birth control pills? You don't respect me at all. But this person never understood respect," Gu Susu couldn't quite articulate how upset she was. She didn't want to see him and turned her head away, tears already streaming down her face.
Qin Tianyi really wanted to ask her if deciding whether to use contraception or have a child wasn't something they should decide together. Did she respect him by hiding the fact that she was taking birth control pills?
Who didn't understand respect? But seeing how weak she was, he didn't want to argue with her about something that couldn't be undone.
He softened his tone and said, "Never mind, the most important thing now is for you to recover."
"I hope we can find Xiao Xingxing soon. He must not be harmed." After speaking, Gu Susu buried her head in the pillow, not wanting Qin Tianyi to see her sad face.
Qin Tianyi didn't want to tell her about the paternity test he had done with Xiao Xingxing. What she hoped for was also what he hoped for.
His child now was only Xiao Xingxing.
He sat quietly by the hospital bed, accompanying her, and said nothing more.
Gu Susu, thinking of these heartbreaking matters, also refused to look at him.
...
When Su Kangxi and the police handling the kidnapping case found the warehouse, they didn't find any children inside.
The person in charge of the warehouse insisted that no children had ever been kept there. However, the police also checked their warehouse qualifications and the goods stored inside, finding no legitimate materials.
Moreover, most of the goods were contraband private goods. Su Kangxi and his team notified customs and other relevant departments, and the warehouse was completely sealed.
Su Kangxi didn't tell Gu Susu the news, fearing she would be very disappointed. He returned to the police station to report to his superiors and then thought about how to tell Gu Susu at the hospital.
...
The next morning, Wei Yanan brought steaming hot breakfast to the ward, along with some information she had gathered, hoping it would help find Gu Susu's child.
But when she entered the ward, she saw a tall man leaning by Gu Susu's hospital bed, sleeping soundly.
Gu Susu was also sleeping on her side and hadn't woken up yet. Wei Yanan quietly placed the breakfast she was carrying aside. She saw that Gu Susu's face still had tear stains that hadn't dried.
She glanced at the man guarding Gu Susu's bed. Although she could only see his profile, it was enough to make her stunning.
Wow, the contours of these features were so handsome!
Could this man be the father of Gu Susu's child?
She was a little infatuated and momentarily didn't place the breakfast steadily. A takeout box almost fell to the ground.
She let out a low gasp, startling Qin Tianyi awake.
"Hello, I... I'm Gu Susu's friend, here to visit her." Wei Yanan quickly greeted Qin Tianyi.
Qin Tianyi glanced at her coldly, wondering when Gu Susu had such a friend.
Her attire was strange, and her makeup was exaggerated. She looked like no decent woman.
Wei Yanan was intimidated by Qin Tianyi's gaze. She thought the man was handsome, but his face was cold after opening his eyes, like an ice sculpture dug out of a frozen wasteland.
She quickly picked up the breakfast to ease the atmosphere and said, "You've been here all night, you haven't eaten breakfast yet, have you? I brought porridge and beef noodles, they're all delicious..."
"No need, I'll have someone send it over if I'm hungry." Qin Tianyi stopped looking at her and slightly got up, gently wiping the tear stains from Gu Susu's face with extreme tenderness.
At this moment, Wei Yanan's heart almost melted. Such a man was so charming when he was gentle.
She watched blankly from the side. Seeing that she hadn't left, Qin Tianyi frowned slightly and said, "My wife hasn't woken up yet. Do you have anything else?" His implication was that if she had nothing else, she could leave.
Just as Wei Yanan was about to leave, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She came to see Gu Susu not just for breakfast; she had important things to tell her.
She steadied herself in the ward and asked softly, "You say Gu Susu is your wife, why haven't I heard her mention you?"
Qin Tianyi retorted, "You say you're a good friend of my wife, but I haven't heard her mention you."
"That's because... because we met before you appeared, and we lost contact for five years..."
"Oh, that's called being a friend? At most, you've just met."
Wei Yanan didn't argue with him about these matters and said directly, "I need to wait for her to wake up. I have something important to tell her."
"What important thing?"
Wei Yanan also sized him up, thinking to herself, who knew what his relationship with Gu Susu was? If he said they were husband and wife, were they?
Who knew if he was lying, if he was really Susu's husband?
"I can only tell her. I'll wait here until she wakes up." Wei Yanan found a chair and sat down, refusing to leave.
Qin Tianyi swept her with his icy eyes.
Cold, extremely cold! Wei Yanan couldn't help but shiver. Was this man from the Arctic Ocean?
He seemed to have a built-in cooling function, as if he could freeze everything.
She sat with her arms crossed, enduring it until Gu Susu woke up.
Fortunately, when Qin Tianyi covered Gu Susu with the blanket, Gu Susu felt it and opened her eyes.
As soon as she saw Qin Tianyi's alluring face right in front of her, she said, "Why are you still at the hospital? I can move on my own, I don't need anyone to take care of me."
Hearing her say this, Qin Tianyi's expression clearly turned displeased, and he was looking for a reason.
But before he could speak, Wei Yanan rushed to the bedside and asked Gu Susu, "Is he your husband?"
"Yanan." Gu Susu finally noticed she was also in the ward and replied, "Ex-husband."
Qin Tianyi found the word coming from Gu Susu's mouth particularly jarring.
Wei Yanan showed an expression of understanding and glanced at both of them, asking with a hint of regret, "How did you get divorced?"
Gu Susu didn't want to talk about it and avoided the question, asking, "When did you arrive? Did you find out anything?"
