With that, Jiang Xiaobai turned around and left without hesitation as if she had made up her mind; she did not even look back or give Xiao Su another glance.
Xiao Su couldn’t stop his hands from clenching into fists by his sides as he looked at her disappearing back.
He felt a feeling of helplessness; it was as though something had left him and was no longer in his reach. The rational part of him told him that he should run up to Jiang Xiaobai and explain himself, yet he did not take a step forward until the very end.
Xiaobai isn’t a contrived person, and the situation is different right now. As soon as I finish dealing with the matters here, I’ll go back and explain everything to her; she’ll surely understand me by then, he thought to himself afterward.
Xiao Su put his mind at rest as the thought occurred to him.
When he came back by himself later, Han Muzi took another glance at him and knitted her brows.
It was a good thing that Xiao Su cared about Yan, but he shouldn’t have come back alone. After all, Xiao Su had been badly wounded, and the two of them did not seem to be just friends.
However, Xiao Su was the only one who came back.
Has the lady left?
As Han Muzi pondered over it, the door to the emergency room opened up suddenly, revealing the team of medical staff as they appeared in front of them.
Han Qing was the first to approach the medical staff while Xiao Su followed him closely; Han Muzi, Ye Moxuan, and the others proceeded to stand behind them.
“Doctor, how is my wife?”
“How is she, doctor?”
Both Han Qing and Xiao Su questioned the doctor at the same time.
The doctor glanced at the two disabled patients in front of him before he subconsciously furrowed his brows, looking like he was in disapproval. The medical staff beside them immediately explained, “We weren’t able to talk them into staying in their own beds—perhaps they are deeply worried about the patient inside.”
“What sort of nonsense are the both of you doing?!” said the doctor before he quickly calmed down. He then asked directly, “Among the both of you, who is the patient’s family?”
Xiao Su, who couldn’t answer that question, opened his mouth without saying a word.
“It’s me,” Han Qing answered with his usual expression. “I am her husband.”
“You’re her husband? Do you know that your wife is pregnant?”
Han Qing felt as though something had flown at him from the front and hit him right on his forehead. Stunned, he was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
P-Pregnant? Yan is pregnant?
The couple had kissed and hugged each other when they were together, but Han Qing always restrained himself. What was more, Yan had turned him down when he wanted to make out with her the last time because she was on her period.
Therefore, the only possible chance for her to get pregnant was the time they went on a trip.
Although he was drugged at that time, he could still restrain himself from doing it, but Yan…
Thinking back to what had happened that night, Han Qing still felt that he was too reckless at that time. Because of that incident, he began to plan for their wedding, their engagement rings, and Yan’s wedding dress after coming back from the trip.
However, he never imagined that something would go wrong at their wedding this time.
However, before Han Qing could bury himself in the bliss of becoming an expectant father, what the doctor said next dampened his spirits. “Your wife is very weak right now, so she might miscarry her baby. Since she inhaled a lot of smoke during the fire, she must be put under further observation for now. We’ll try our best to treat your wife and keep your baby, but you’ll have to sign a declarative statement first.”
Almost instantly, a staff member handed Han Qing a declarative statement.
Han Qing looked at the declarative statement. After a moment’s hesitation, he quickly took the document and signed his name on it before saying, “Thank you. Please ensure my wife’s safety as best as you can.”
The medical staff seemed to be surprised as they nodded. With that, the emergency room’s door was closed again.
The corridor was filled with dead silence at the moment; none of them were saying anything due to the incident just now.
Suddenly, Xiao Su reached out to grab Han Qing’s collar before he threw a ferocious punch at the latter!
Smack!
After being punched in the jaw, Han Qing staggered a few steps back before he steadied himself.
Han Muzi was taken aback by this. She cried out in alarm and wanted to step forward, but Ye Moxuan—who was standing next to her—seized her around the waist and stopped her from doing so. On the contrary, Ye Moxuan looked indifferent as though he had long expected the brawl to happen.
“Are you even a man, Han Qing? How could you possibly let such an incident happen at the wedding?” Still unappeased after giving Han Qing a punch, Xiao Su stepped forward to grab his collars before throwing another punch at him. With that, he continued to punch Han Qing in the face repeatedly.
Han Qing let Xiao Su beat him without hitting back as though he was in the wrong.
Han Muzi’s heart ached a lot as she looked on. However, when she thought of the incident and Yan—who was still lying unconscious inside—she could only stand in place while biting her lip.
Men had their own ways of solving problems; even though it wasn’t right to get into a fight, it seemed that the two of them couldn’t possibly speak amicably to each other right now. Therefore, the only thing everyone else could do was to wait.
As she expected, after Xiao Su had punched Han Qing several times to vent his anger, Han Qing caught his fist and said, “It’s my fault for failing to keep her safe.”
“It turns out that you do know you failed to keep her safe! It’s fine that you hurt her before; now that you want to be together with Yan, you should take good care of her. How could there be such a big slip-up at the wedding? Will you take the responsibility if something happens to her?”
Just then, Yan’s parents arrived in a hurry as the two of them were fighting.
They were deeply worried about their daughter before, but when Han Qing and Yan were loaded into the ambulance, Mr. Zhou felt that it would be inappropriate for them to leave before the guests did as the wedding’s hosts. Since Han Qing and their daughter had been rushed to the hospital, Mr. Zhou decided to deal with the ensuing troubles with Luo Huimei first while asking Han Muzi to go to the hospital with Little Bean.
They hurried to the hospital as soon as they finished dealing with the matters. However, little did they expect to see Xiao Su and Han Qing fighting when they arrived. Yan’s parents immediately stepped forward to mediate between the two men. “What’s wrong with the both of you? Why are you two fighting with each other when both of you are so badly wounded? Do you think that your wounds are not painful enough?”
Xiao Su stopped being rash upon meeting Yan’s parents. Furthermore, he had already calmed down at the moment, for Han Qing did not hit him back after he punched the latter several times.
He was initially on the verge of exploding when he heard that Yan’s life was in danger because she had breathed in a lot of smoke despite being pregnant.
Luo Huimei pulled the two of them apart to discover that Han Qing’s face was full of bruises. She felt deeply sorry for him immediately as she asked, “Are you alright? Let me call the doctor to treat your wounds.”
“I’m fine, Mom.”
Luo Huimei was stunned when Han Qing called her ‘Mom,’ but she soon recollected herself. Indeed, Han Qing would have been her son-in-law if the wedding had gone smoothly, so it was only normal for him to call her ‘Mom’ as Yan did.
Even though an incident had broken out this time, she was quite moved deep down inside when she saw how Han Qing had plunged into the fire recklessly to save her daughter. After all, her daughter married a person who considered her life more important than his own. Therefore, she was truly not worried about her daughter’s future.
Although she was still panic-stricken after surviving the fire, on the flip side, she would’ve never known how much this man would give for her daughter until such things happened.
“Stop fighting, the both of you. Now that the matter has come to this, you should go back to your wards—not to mention that the both of you have been so badly wounded. We’ll be staying here.”
Mr. Zhou’s tongue wasn’t as smooth as Luo Huimei’s. Preoccupied with his daughter’s condition right now, he asked frankly, “How is Yan? Is she alright?”
