Xue Qijing was brought back to his senses by Mingxi's cry of pain. He quickly reached out and hugged Mingxi's rapidly sliding body into his arms. He saw Xue Qiwei standing opposite him with red eyes. When he saw the countless blue veins on Xue Qiwei's clenched fist, his eyes immediately turned cold. Just by looking at his fist, he could tell how hard he had used.
Damn... He hit her so hard
“Xue Qiwei…” Holding Mingxi’s weak body, Xue Qijing yelled loudly, and then angrily wanted to fight back, but Mingxi suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm, shaking her head desperately, “Master, don’t!”
As soon as she moved, she felt a tearing pain in her back, and tears instantly welled up in Mingxi's eyes.
Xue Qiwei had already been stunned. He stood there dumbly, looking at his fist still in the air. In her heart, she could not defeat him, the man who had always hurt her. No matter how hard he tried, no matter how good he was to her, she could not defeat him.
"Master, don't..." Ming Xi frowned and collapsed weakly in Xue Qijing's arms. Her whole face turned pale in an instant, and was covered with a thin layer of cold sweat.
"Are you a fool? Why did you suddenly rush out? You are a woman, how can you compare with a grown man? Can you withstand such a heavy punch?" Xue Qijing roared angrily at Ming Xi. Thinking of the scene where she rushed out to help him as a fist, he couldn't help but get angry and broke out in cold sweat.
Mingxi shook her head and wanted to say something, but she suddenly felt dizzy. She just opened her mouth and before she could utter a word, her eyes suddenly went dark, her body went limp, and she knew nothing and passed out...
Seeing her faint, Xue Qi was panicked and shouted at the people standing nearby who were already stunned by the sudden situation: "Quick, call an ambulance!"
The entire Xue family was in a panic...
When I woke up again, it was already the next morning.
Mingxi slowly opened her eyes and saw Xue Qijing standing on the bedside with an expressionless face. Mingxi was so frightened by his expression that she almost screamed.
However, as soon as she moved, she felt a sudden sharp pain in her back, so she had to lie back down.
"Master?" Ming Xi frowned and called out softly. What happened before flashed through her mind like a movie.
"Han Mingxi!" Xue Qijing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mingxi wake up. He looked at her coldly before turning around and sitting down on the chair beside the bed.
"Hmm?" Mingxi didn't understand why he suddenly called her Mingxi.
"I don't need your pity!" Xue Qijing spat out these words indifferently. He thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure out why she suddenly rushed out to block the punch for him. The only thing he could think of was her sympathy and her pity. And he didn't need anyone's sympathy or pity at all.
"I don't feel sorry for you!" Ming Xi hurriedly explained after hearing Xue Qijing's words.
"If it's not pity, then what is it?" Xue Qi frowned in shock, then looked at her with a little expectation.
"I..." Ming Xi looked at Xue Qi's shocked face and didn't know what to say for a moment. The reason why she rushed out to help him block the fist was completely because she never knew that the extremely noble man who was high up and grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth would have such an unbearable past. His past must have been very sad, and he must have felt very lonely since he was a child. Although she was bullied since she was a child, at least her parents loved her very much. What about him? Besides grandma, who else? And the love of parents cannot be replaced by anyone.
She felt sorry for him.
Whenever she thought of the weak boy chasing after his mother and begging her not to leave, her heart ached even more.
She had experienced that kind of pain, although it was of a different nature from his, but she just knew it!
"What do you mean?" Xue Qi was surprised to see Ming Xi couldn't say anything, and smiled coldly. This woman really sympathized with him and pitied him!
"It's instinct!" Ming Xi suddenly blinked her big eyes and looked straight at Xue Qijing.
Xue Qi frowned in shock, not knowing what she meant by this.
"Because you are the young master, so when I see someone trying to hurt you, of course I have to protect you out of instinct!" Perhaps seeing Xue Qijing's confusion, Ming Xi hurriedly explained.
"Protect?" Xue Qijing was a little skeptical about the word. She protected him? Haha... Stop kidding, just her
"Yeah!" Mingxi nodded seriously.
Xue Qi looked at Ming Xi in shock, sneered, and stood up from his chair. "Protect yourself first! I have something else to do at the company, so I'll go to work first. Grandma will be with you later!"
"Oh!" Ming Xi said, and then watched Xue Qijing leave the ward, feeling inexplicably lost in her heart.
As soon as Xue Qijing left, Old Lady Xue came into the room, "Mingxi, my darling, are you awake? Does your back still hurt? I just heard from the doctor that if that brat had used a little more force, the bones in your back would have been broken. But fortunately, the doctor said that you will be fine after a few days of rest!"
"Nanny!" Mingxi saw Old Lady Xue laugh hurriedly, and she struggled to get up.
"Hey, don't move. The doctor has specifically instructed you to lie down and not stand up!" Old Mrs. Xue hurriedly stopped him nervously.
"Oh! Then I'll just lie down obediently!" Mingxi smiled sweetly at Old Mrs. Xue.
When Mrs. Xue saw Mingxi's smile, she immediately became sentimental. She sat on the edge of the bed, holding Mingxi's hand, and said distressedly but with a hint of reproach: "Why did you want to interfere in their affairs? If you get hurt, you're the one who suffers!"
""grandmother"!"
"Alright, alright! Don't be stupid next time! What's more, Qi Jing treated you like that, and you still protected him. Silly child, remember one thing, people who treat you well deserve your kindness!"
"Nanny, I've got it in mind!"
"If something like this happens again in the future, you must not do this again, understand?"
"Yeah!" Mingxi nodded obediently.
"You silly child!"
Just when the two were talking happily, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open and a nurse walked into the ward with a file bag.
"Excuse me, are you Miss Han Mingxi?"
Mingxi didn't quite understand why a nurse suddenly walked in.
"It is me!" Mingxi nodded quickly.
"Oh, that's right. This is the full-body examination form that our hospital prepared for you based on your family's request!" The doctor handed the file bag to Mingxi.
When she heard that it was a physical examination form, Mrs. Xue immediately asked nervously, "Miss Nurse, is my granddaughter-in-law okay? She injured her back, will there be any sequelae?"
The nurse smiled and said to Mrs. Xue: "Grandma, don't worry, your granddaughter-in-law is in good health!"
Hearing the nurse say this, Mrs. Xue breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled kindly, "Is that so? That's good. I'm relieved!"
"Grandma, you should be happy. Your granddaughter-in-law is not only healthy, but she is also pregnant with your great-grandson who is two months old!" said the nurse with a smile on her face.
Upon hearing what the nurse said, Old Mrs. Xue opened her mouth, picked her ears with her hands, and asked in a tone that didn't seem to have heard clearly: "Miss nurse, what did you say? Please say it again. I'm old, and my ears don't work well!"
Mingxi was so surprised that her jaw almost dropped to the ground. She stared at the nurse with wide eyes.
"Grandma, please listen carefully this time! Your granddaughter-in-law is not only in good health, but is also pregnant with your great-grandson who is two months old!" The nurse smiled sweetly.
