Mrs. Yu generally ate little for dinner, and today she ate even less, putting down her chopsticks before long.
Seeing this, Chen Dong quickly asked, "Is it not to your taste?"
Mrs. Yu wasn't displeased with the food at all. She was just thinking that Qin Beiting and Nannan had just gone through life and death and needed some private space.
"No, I'm full. I suddenly remembered I forgot to feed Tiramisu. Nannan, I'm going back. Beiting, you stay here with Nannan."
Hearing that she was leaving, Qin Beiting felt a little happy, wishing they would leave quickly so the little girl would be his alone.
But then he suddenly remembered Skinner's reminder to control his possessiveness, not to be too overbearing with Yu He, to respect her, and to give her free time.
The words "have Chen Dong see you off" were on the tip of his tongue, but he changed them to, "It's fine if that pig stays hungry a little longer."
"Can you stay and keep me company for a while longer?" Yu He didn't want her grandmother to leave so soon. Although she said she had let go, she still secretly paid attention to any news about Shu Yun'er.
"It won't starve. If it gets hungry, it will rummage through things. The clinic is closed tomorrow, so I'll come over earlier to keep you company," Mrs. Yu found an excuse.
She had racked her brains to give the two of them some alone time.
Seeing that she couldn't be persuaded to stay, Qin Beiting had to say, "Chen Dong, take Grandma home."
"Okay." Chen Dong hadn't eaten his fill yet, so he quickly took a few more bites of rice, wiped his mouth, and got up to see her off.
As soon as the ward door closed, their eyes met, and sparks flew. Qin Beiting put down his bowl and kissed Yu He fiercely on the lips.
Yu He also stopped suppressing her emotions and responded passionately.
They clung to each other, inseparable.
Just as Yu He's hospital gown was halfway off, Qin Beiting suddenly stopped.
Yu He was so aroused by him that her body felt weak. When the passion was at its peak and he suddenly stopped, she felt a little restless. "What's wrong?"
"You still have injuries and need to take medicine. No strenuous exercise," Qin Beiting said, reluctantly helping her put on her hospital gown and rebutton it.
"..."
Yu He felt hot all over. In such matters, she wouldn't suppress herself too much. She grabbed his collar and whispered in his ear, "I won't move, you move."
Qin Beiting also felt unbearable. Hearing her words, he felt even more so, but he still forced himself to hold back, caressing her cheek. "Be good. When you've recovered, we can go all night."
"........."
Who wanted to go all night with him!
"Are you not able anymore?" Yu He gave him a sinister glance.
Qin Beiting hooked her chin and gave her a punishing, forceful kiss. "Don't question a man's ability so casually. Don't you know best if I'm capable? Hmm."
Yu He's breath was shallow from the kiss, her eyes hazy, making her exceptionally alluring. This made Qin Beiting's throat even drier.
He averted his gaze, picked up his bowl again, and said, "Alright, don't tease me. It's not that I don't want to, but your physical condition doesn't allow it. Come, take your medicinal soup first."
"..." Yu He ate somewhat dejectedly.
After drinking the medicinal soup, the blood in their bodies also calmed down a lot.
"You're not allowed to be so willful anymore!" Qin Beiting suddenly said.
Yu He knew he was referring to her reckless act of stopping the bomb. "If I hadn't done that, we all would have died! I didn't want you to die."
Qin Beiting's heart was touched by her words. He hated himself for not being able to protect her completely.
She was the second woman in this world willing to die for him. The first, his mother, was already dead.
He didn't want to lose her again.
"You still love me, right? Let's not break up anymore, okay?"
The man's magnetic voice lingered slightly, filled with deep pleading, making Yu He's heart flutter.
How could she say she never loved him? But between them, there was still the matter of her adoptive father.
Seeing that she didn't deny it, Qin Beiting took it as her default. "Baby, say you love me, okay? I want to hear it."
Yu He's lips moved, just about to speak, when she suddenly saw figures at the door. She looked up and saw that her grandmother and Chen Dong, who had just left, had returned at some point, with Lu Yiming and Chen Hao following behind them.
Yu He: "..."
As Mrs. Yu and Chen Dong walked out of the hospital building, they happened to meet Lu Yiming and Chen Hao, who were asking for Yu He's room number. Mrs. Yu turned around and decided to lead them directly there.
Who knew that when they returned, the two who had just been persuading her to stay had instantly changed.
Especially Qin Beiting's subservient, humble, and pleading tone, which she had never heard before. It completely refreshed her impression of him.
Was this really the Qin Qiye who always exuded an aura of coldness, making people afraid to approach him easily?
Before, Yu He had told her that Qin Beiting had made the first move, and she hadn't believed it, thinking it would only happen if Mars collided with Earth for such a bizarre event. Now, witnessing it firsthand, it truly was a Mars-and-Earth collision!
"Ahem, did we disturb you?" Lu Yiming coughed.
"Should we come back tomorrow?" Chen Hao asked.
"We can."
"No need."
Qin Beiting and Yu He spoke simultaneously. Yu He then glanced at Qin Beiting, who immediately asked Lu Yiming, "What is it?"
Lu Yiming thought, "Oh, Brother Ting, your will to survive is impressive."
"Sister-in-law, this was found in the broadcast room machine room at Di Yi Hotel while clearing the scene. Is it yours?" Lu Yiming said, taking a transparent bag from his briefcase and handing it to Yu He.
Inside the bag was a broken bracelet. Only two of the four conch pearls remained. It was the lucky bracelet Yu He had always treasured.
"Yes." She took it and poured it into her palm. The platinum chain connecting the conch pearls was broken into several sections, and one of the conch pearls was scorched.
Seeing her tenderly stroking the conch pearl with a look of reluctance in her eyes, Qin Beiting raised his hand, put the beads back in the bag, and said, "I'll get it repaired."
"Can it be repaired?" Yu He asked.
It was broken so badly, no matter how it was repaired, it wouldn't be the same as before.
"Yes!" Qin Beiting affirmed.
Even though she knew it was impossible to repair, Yu He still believed him.
"Xiao He, is it convenient to talk about something?" Chen Hao asked.
Yu He knew he was going to talk about the Huang Corporation case. She glanced at Qin Beiting, reluctant to let him hear, but then thought that Chen Hao was his subordinate, and if he wanted to know about the case, it wouldn't be difficult. So, she nodded.
"Huang Ying confessed. She admitted that she hired someone to kill Shu Yun'er twelve years ago. Here is her detailed confession transcript," Chen Hao said, taking an envelope from his briefcase and handing it to Yu He. "However, she refused to say a single word about the matter involving Third Master Qin back then."
Yu He's left hand was bandaged, and her right hand had an IV drip, making it inconvenient. Qin Beiting took it and opened it for her.
Yu He skimmed through it at lightning speed. The content of the transcript was the same as the interrogation video she had watched before. At the end, there was a stamp, Huang Shi's signature, and fingerprints. It couldn't be faked.
She passed the document to Mrs. Yu after reading it. After reading it, Mrs. Yu's eyes welled up.
The death of her daughter finally had a truth.
"If there are no further issues, the court will sentence her next week. Death penalty," Chen Hao reminded.
Yu He understood his meaning. If they didn't ask before the execution, they wouldn't be able to ask after. The dead would not speak.
"I want to see her tomorrow. Can you arrange it?" she asked.
Chen Hao was about to say yes when Qin Beiting interrupted him, "The day after tomorrow."
