Her life was one of constant loss. Everyone left so suddenly that she didn't even have time to try to keep them.
"I was less than eight years old when my mother passed away..." Qiqi spoke softly, with a hint of sadness, "At that time, I was attending summer camp with my classmates and had a lot of fun. But when I returned... my mother was lying in the morgue, without a breath. Her whole body was swollen, and even her face was not clear... I heard from my father that she fell into a pond..."
In fact, Tang Jue already knew Qiqi's life story very well. However, whether it was eight years ago or eight years later, this was the first time she was so frank in front of him. It was like tearing off all the masks, and her pain and vulnerability were all exposed in front of him without any cover. And only in front of him.
"Later, when I was 12 years old..." Qiqi couldn't continue speaking at this point. Her voice choked and tears fell from her eyes, wetting the pillowcase.
Tang Jue kissed the top of her head and hugged her trembling body tighter, "Baby, I'm different from them... I've never disappeared from your world before, and I won't in the future."
Qiqi put her arms around his neck and looked at him with tears in her eyes, "My dad promised me this before..."
Tang Jue took Qiqi's hand and pressed it against his chest. "From today on, my life belongs to you. If anything happens to me in the future, I will never close my eyes unless you let me die..."
It was clearly a promise, but when Qiqi heard it, she didn't feel relieved, but was so angry that her eyes turned red. Especially the word "die", it was like a needle piercing her ears, making her eyelids twitch, and she subconsciously reached out and covered his thin lips.
"Take back what you said. I don't want anything to happen to you, and you can't get into trouble, let alone..." She couldn't even utter the word 'die'.
Seeing her angry and sad, Tang Jue felt sorry for her. He just smiled and took her hand in his. His life with her had just begun, how could he bear to let anything happen to him

Qiqi felt much better and got up to eat lunch. Tang Jue accompanied her and also ate with gusto.
In the afternoon, Qiqi still had to go to the hospital. Tang Jue wanted to go with her, but Qiqi refused to go no matter what. The results had just been received, and the ward must be very depressing. Qiyu must be there, and Qiqi didn't want to make things complicated for the time being. Tang Jue was sure of Qiyong's attitude, so if Qiqi didn't let him go, he didn't force it. However, the bodyguard still had to protect her. If there was any kneeling, he would not forgive Qiyong.
Tang Jue was in a very good mood, and Jian Qing noticed it, but didn't dare to ask more questions. However, unexpectedly, someone was in a particularly good mood today. While flipping through the documents, he took the initiative to ask: "Have you ever tasted the feeling of being relied on by your own woman?"
How could this be a question? That look of passion on her face was actually just a naked show-off. Jian Qing was afraid of spoiling someone's fun, so she just shook her head and said, "No."
In fact, who hasn't been relied on by his own woman? Is this a big deal? However, he also saw that Miss Qi could be sweet for ten days or half a month just by giving her a little sweetness. This is simply a sign of lack of love! Jian Qing felt a little sympathetic towards him.
Tang Jue had no idea that Jian Qing was thinking this way, and her face remained calm. "You know, she said today that she would not allow me to die or have any accidents. So..."
He paused, raised his head, and a gorgeous glow flashed across his face, "She has fallen in love with me too, hasn't she?"
Jian Qing was almost fascinated by his appearance. She coughed dryly and nodded.
Well~ He had to take back his sympathy. For a demon like the young master, who would he not want love from? How many people would he not want love from? So, how could he lack love? !

When Qiqi arrived at the ward again, she had prepared herself mentally to be locked out by her uncle again. However, to her surprise, not only was she not locked out, but Qi Yong was no longer so cold to her.
Qiqi thought that the condition had probably reached such a stage that it was meaningless to dwell on other things. Family love, after all, was still family love.
Thinking of this, Qiqi felt much more comforted.
But Qi Yu was completely different. When she came back from the doctor's office and saw Qi Qi, her originally unpleasant expression suddenly became even longer. "What are you doing here? Are you dissatisfied with my dad's health? Are you going to piss him off to death?"
"... You kid, is that how you talk?" Jiang Shao poked Qi Yu on the head, "Qi Qi is your sister."
"I don't have a sister like her!" Qi Yu said coldly. Glancing at Qi Qi, she said sarcastically, "She can even be with the man who killed her father. I..."
"Okay, Qiyu, shut up!" Qiyu's words were suddenly interrupted by Qi Yong. He stared at Qiyu and said, "Don't mention Tang Jue to me again in the future. As for Qiqi..."
He cast his eyes towards Qiqi, but his expression was not as fierce and stern as it was this morning. In fact, his attitude was much better than when he spoke to Qiyu. "Since things between you and Mo Xun have come to this, I can't do anything about it. You and Tang Jue..."
He sighed, "You young people have your own ideas. I... I support you."
As soon as Qi Yong finished speaking, the other three were stunned.
Qiqi thought she had misheard, and subconsciously exchanged a glance with Jiang Shao. Finally, Qiyu came to her senses, her eyes red with anger, "Dad, aren't you changing your attitude too quickly? Didn't you say that if she insisted on being with Tang Jue, you would break off relations with her? It's only been a few hours, how could you..."
Qi Yong stared at Qi Yu, "What's wrong with you? How did Qi Qi and him being together bother you? Why do you have to break them up?"
Qi Yu felt guilty when Qi Yong asked her this. In addition, Qi Yong's sharp eyes made her even more afraid that her thoughts would be seen through, so she bit her lip, stepped aside, and dared not say anything.
Qiqi remained silent. She glanced at her uncle quietly and saw that he looked unstable and had a lot on his mind.
If he had said before that his attitude towards her changed because he couldn't bear to give up the family relationship, Qiqi would have believed it. But now, she found that not only did her uncle's attitude towards her change, but also his attitude towards Tang Jue changed, and it was a 360-degree turn, and Qiqi had some doubts in her heart.
Is it because of what Tang Jue did
"I'm going to have surgery in two days. I want to be discharged from the hospital today." Qi Yong suddenly spoke, looking around at everyone, and finally paused at Qi Qi's face, "Qi Qi, you come back with me too."
