Qin He returned to the hospital ward building and first went to the public restroom in the corridor. She tore the paper into pieces and flushed it down.
Then, she returned to the ward with Qin Yun's lab report.
In the ward, her mother had arrived at some point. Seeing her come in, she waved her over: "I heard your brother say you were going to get the report. Why did it take so long?"
Qin He forced a smile onto her face: "The queue was too long."
"Alright, you've stayed with your brother for a night. Go home and rest. I'll stay with him during the day, and there are two caregivers. You don't need to worry."
With her mother's words, Qin He did feel tired.
With something on her mind, she gave a few careful instructions and left.
Driving all the way towards the Qin family home, Qin He's brow gradually furrowed.
As she stopped at a traffic light, she looked down at her flat abdomen.
A little life was growing there—
Back home, Qin He sat in her room and pondered for a long time, finally making a decision.
She would have this child!
No matter what kind of scumbag Gu Qichen was, the child was in her belly, and it was hers!
She believed she could raise a child perfectly on her own!
With her decision made, Qin He felt a bit calmer. The first thing to do was to control the information and prevent Gu Qichen from finding out.
Fortunately, her belly wasn't showing yet, so there was still time.
After a night in the hospital, Qin He took a shower and got into bed to catch up on sleep.
Before sleeping, she glanced at her WeChat. With the sudden emergency yesterday, she hadn't been in the mood to chat with anyone.
Upon opening it, she saw a message from Shen Yilin.
Shen Yilin: Sis, I'm here, why weren't you home.
Shen Yilin: Sis, are you okay? Are you not streaming today?
...
Shen Yilin: Sis, are you okay?!
Message after message came through, showing increasing worry and panic.
Qin He replied to Shen Yilin.
The next message was from Xu Wanwan. Qin He clicked on it to see.
It was a screenshot of Song Nuan's Weibo.
Song Nuan: I was too careless about what happened before. I was afraid everyone would be disappointed in me, so I said it was the investors' request to change people without thinking. I didn't expect it to cause so many problems. I'm very sorry.
A long paragraph. Qin He only scanned the first sentence and lost interest.
She could guess that the comments below would be from those crazy "Pine Nuts" (fans of Song Nuan).
Qin He stared at Xu Wanwan's WeChat and fell into thought.
When her brother was unconscious, he was still calling out for Wanwan. During the time she had lost her memory, there must have been a story between them.
Qin He knew her brother well. He was usually casual with his friends like Lu Mingxi but was a gentle elder brother to her.
However, he was the CEO of Qin Corporation, having supported it for so many years. He was ruthless and decisive, and few people could get close to him.
In his heart, there must be a place for Wanwan, otherwise, he wouldn't have called out her name when he was most unguarded after the anesthesia.
Starting tomorrow, she would be taking over the management at Qin Corporation.
Her mother was looking after her brother at the hospital, but she couldn't do it day and night.
Qin He frowned, thinking again about the car accident. This matter was also not simple, and she needed to find time to investigate.
However, this meant her brother would be short-handed.
Perhaps, this was an opportunity?
Qin He composed a message and sent it: Wanwan, my brother was in a car accident.
She was just testing to see Xu Wanwan's reaction.
Within a few minutes, a video call popped up directly.
Qin He accepted the call. On the other end, Xu Wanwan's usually cheerful face was pale, and her voice trembled: "What happened to Qin Yun?"
She hadn't expected her best friend to react so strongly. Qin He looked at the person on the screen and felt a surge of guilt.
She quickly comforted her: "He was injured in a car accident, but he's out of danger now."
Seeing Xu Wanwan's complexion slightly improve, but still looking anxious, Qin He said gently, "Wanwan, there's something I need to ask for your help with."
Qin He's plan was for Xu Wanwan and her mother to take turns looking after her brother.
Actually, she could also ask Lu Mingxi for help with this, but she wanted to try and set up her brother with Xu Wanwan.
On the other end, Xu Wanwan agreed without hesitation. She urgently asked for Qin Yun's room number and hung up.
Qin He let out a small laugh. She hadn't slept much all night, and drowsiness washed over her.
...
At 4:30 PM, she was woken by a servant.
Shen Yilin had arrived.
He had a fine sheen of sweat on his forehead, looking like he had run from the main gate.
Qin He looked at the young man's appearance and felt a warmth in her heart: "Sit down. I have something to tell you."
Shen Yilin's gaze was fixed on Qin He, looking her up and down: "Sis, I'm glad you're okay!"
Saying that, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't slept at all last night, worrying.
They sat down, and Qin He got straight to the point: "Yilin, you don't need to come to my house every day anymore. Just come on weekends from now on."
Shen Yilin looked a bit anxious: "Why? Is it because of the online attacks from those crazy people that's affecting your mood?"
"No, my brother has some things going on, and I need to manage Qin Corporation for a while. I won't have enough time to film videos and stream every day."
Shen Yilin pursed his lips, his hand at his side subtly tightening: "Then, can I help you with anything else? You've already paid me. I can't just work weekends!"
Qin He thought for a moment. After she took over Qin Corporation, with the help of her brother's assistant Zhou Yang, she wouldn't need anyone else.
"Just think of it as me giving you a vacation," Qin He smiled. "You're at an age where you should be making friends. Use this extra time to hang out with friends, find a girlfriend, and go on dates."
She said it casually, but Shen Yilin turned his face away, looking dejected.
His voice became a bit stiff: "I don't want to find a girlfriend."
Qin He assumed he was just shy as a child and smiled: "But since you're here today, let's film a video."
Shen Yilin clenched his fist and got up to follow.
His sister's gaze was tolerant, and her tone carried a hint of understanding.
But that attitude was clearly like an adult coaxing a child!
Shen Yilin pursed his lips tightly, his eyes struggling with dejection.
He was only three years younger than his sister, but she always looked at him like he belonged to a different generation!
How could this perception be corrected?
How could he make his sister understand that he was already a man!
Qin He hadn't streamed yesterday, but today, some old fans flooded in.
Below, there were all sorts of chatter.
— Little He, you skipped work yesterday! Were you on a date!
— Little He is slacking off, I'm reporting you!
All sorts of playful and concerned comments popped up, and Qin He's mood improved considerably.
Today, she chose very mild makeup products. Sitting in front of the camera, Qin He began today's makeup tutorial.
While giving the tutorial, she discussed some health and wellness knowledge with her viewers.
Qin He's knowledge base amazed the viewers. No matter what topic came up, it seemed she knew everything about it.
She analyzed the pharmacological principles of Chinese herbal medicine with great clarity.
A TCM practitioner commented: "Little He, do you study traditional Chinese medicine?"
Qin He, applying dramatic false eyelashes, smiled: "No, but it's related to medicine."
Immediately, people on the screen began to guess, but none hit the mark.
Qin He smiled and said: "I studied forensic medicine."
