Ling Qiao was wholeheartedly peeling an apple in Tang Chuqing's ward. Seeing her son's attentive and considerate appearance, he wore a smile on his face and looked a lot better.

His phone rang. He looked at the screen and saw "Wife". He put down the apple and said, "I'm going out to take a call. It's a job matter."

"Yes." He came in the morning to feed her congee, then brought her lunch at noon. After getting off work, he even came to accompany her, she was very satisfied.

Ling Qiao walked to the corridor and picked up the phone. "Hey, wife, you miss me?"

Shu Shu suppressed the discomfort in her heart and asked, "En, I missed you. Hubby, when are you off work?"

"Soon, we have a document to look at. If you're tired, then go to sleep first."

"No, I'll wait for you!" Did he really take her for a three-and-a-half year old child? Did he really think she was so easily deceived?!

"Alright, alright. I'll be back soon."

After hanging up the phone, Ling Qiao furrowed his brows as he blamed himself in his heart. To use a hundred lies to make a single lie, he had truly understood the meaning of that sentence.

Ling Qiao had returned very quickly, but Shu Shu had already fallen asleep while waiting for him. He lowered his head to kiss her forehead, sleeping beside her.

Shu Shu slowly opened her eyes. His arms were wrapped around his waist, and her breathing could be heard. The moment he arrived, the bed became warm.

She didn't want to ask, didn't want to expose, and she thought he could tell her.

The next day, when Shu Shu woke up, Ling Qiao was already no longer on the bed. Reaching out his hand to touch him, she found that his pillow was still warm.

Ling Qiao hurriedly put on his clothes and headed downstairs. He found Ling Qiao preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

"Wife, I didn't even wake you up. Did you smell the fragrance? "Good girl, hurry up and wash your face and brush your teeth, then come over and eat the Love Lotus Egg."

On the dining table, two heart-shaped poached eggs, hot milk, hot sausages, and the fragrance of meat and milk permeated the air.

"Eat quickly, you can't fill your stomach just by looking at it."

ShuShu's heart was filled with mixed emotions. Seeing Ling Qiao spoiling her like this, she was truly troubled. She was truly puzzled, and also truly perplexed.

"I was touched." She smiled, forked up the sausage, and bit into it, filling her mouth with food so she wouldn't talk.

Ling Qiao shook her head and said with a smile, "Look at you. I know you're a carnivorous animal, but you don't need to like eating meat that much. You need to eat more miscellaneous food." Ling Qiao gave her a few slices of bread.

ShuShu picked it up and ate it, swallowing everything in sight.

Sitting in her office, she could not sit still any longer. This was a television station, what news did she need? Any news, the reporters would be the first to find out.

The news of Tang Family's daughter, Tang Zuoqing, returning home had surfaced. There was also the news of her falling down and being injured on the stage of the Lincoln Center in the United States, as well as the fact that she was currently recuperating in a hospital.

"ShuShu, we have a mission. Let's go, we're all heading to the hospital, we can't afford to stay here any longer."

"Sister Su Man, why are we going to the hospital?"

"Tang Shuqing is at the hospital. Let's go squat for a bit and see if her old flame Ling Qiao will go visit her. If she does, then it will be big news."

"Huh?" Isn't this too ironic?!

"Ah what? Let's go."

When they arrived at the hospital, Shu and Su Manjun split up and went their separate ways.

In the hospital, there were many reporters lurking around. Their thoughts were all the same, everyone was here to wait for them.

ShuShu had seen Ling Qiao's way of dodging the reporters. The hospital's VIP ward was a place where even ordinary doctors and nurses could not enter, much less a reporter. If it really was Ling Qiao who had arranged Tang Moqing to stay here, then he would definitely be in that VIP ward.

ShuShu bought a fruit basket and went to the VIP ward. "Head nurse, do you still recognize me?"

When the head nurse saw ShuShu, she smiled and said, "Mrs. Ling, I know you."

"Head nurse, my husband asked me to come visit an old friend of his called Tang and Qing. Can you let me in?"

"Sure." The matron let her in without any doubt.

Upon stepping into this place, Shu Shu's heart became heavier and heavier. Her guess was right. Ling Qiao had protected Tang Shuiqing well.

He knocked on the door and heard a soft female voice say, "Come in."

When Shu Shu pushed open the door, she saw Tang Thirty-Six sitting quietly in a wheelchair, facing the window. She was carefully watering the small potted plants on the windowsill. She remembered that when Ling Qiao had been hospitalized, there had been no potted plants on the windowsill.

Tang Rou Qing put down the kettle and turned the wheelchair. "Shu Shu, why is it you?" Her face was full of surprise.

"Is it strange?" ShuShu put the fruit basket on the bedside table. "Your foot is injured and you have undergone surgery. It is only right that I come to see you."

"Hehe, the operation was a success. It was nothing major. I have to thank Ling Qiao. Fortunately, he was here." She was also very thoughtful when she spoke.

Shu Shu pursed her lips into a smile. She walked to the window and saw the white jasmine blooming. Leaning over to smell it, she exclaimed, "It smells so good."

Jasmine's blooming period had ended in November, but now that it was the end of December, her Jasmine was blooming and flourishing.

"Mm, I also feel that it smells good. Ling Qiao brought this back from abroad on purpose. He knows that I like it."

Shu Shu couldn't bear it any longer, "Tang Congqing, stop saying that you're Ling Qiao's friend. Even if it's just an ordinary friend, with your leg injured, you would still help."

There were a lot of lavender. She took out a few stalks of them from the vase and said, "These were all inserted by Ling Qiao, he didn't even tidy them up before putting them in. He didn't even look at how big this vase is."

This vase looked very familiar. Wasn't it the crystal vase that was placed at the entrance of their house? It had originally been placed on the dining table, but she found it to be occupied so she placed it at the entrance.

The central air-conditioner on the ceiling was slowly blowing the heater. The pages were turned towards the windowsill. The warm wind brought a comfortable feeling, but a string of melodious wind chimes rang in his ears.

He raised his head and saw the string of wind chimes on the windowsill. This was also their home.

"Shu Shu, there are some things I don't want to force you on, much less hide from you. I know you're innocent. Ling Qiao, he also doesn't want to hurt you. So, let me be the villain. "

Shu Shu couldn't stand any longer, she took a step back and leaned on the window sill. Since she was here, she had the courage to face her provocation.

"I've already lost my ballet. I don't want to lose Ling Qiao any more. I know he still loves me, but his marriage to you is between us. He's a very responsible man, and he feels sorry for you."

"Stop talking …" Shu Shu interrupted her with a faint smile. "He was the one who married me into the family. If you want to say it, you can leave it to him to tell me personally." She strode toward the door.

When she came out, a nurse recognized her and came up to greet her, but she couldn't hear her and walked faster and faster until she ran out of the ward.

I met Summan in the lobby of the hospital. She looked pale and worriedly asked, "Where did you go?" Are you not feeling well? "

"No, I saw a man who looked like Ling Qiao just now. He was in a hurry to catch up, but he wasn't. It was all a waste of time."

"You really want to snatch the news? We are just waiting for you. We don't even know if Ling Qiao will come. Let's just sit down for a while."

"No, I want to go over there and take a look. Maybe Ling Qiao came in through the back door." After saying that, she ran towards the back.

It was somewhat ironic to say that she was a reporter. Her job was to take a photo of Ling Qiao visiting Tang Yuanqing's illness. Her mission was to make up a story about the rekindling of their old relationship after taking Ling Qiao's picture.

Unknowingly, he had walked to the underground parking lot. A familiar sapphire blue Mercedes-Benz entered his sight. He was unwilling to give up as he walked into the garage to check his license plate.

It was indeed Ling Qiao's car. So it turned out that he had really come.

No, no, no. In the morning, he was still so considerate towards her. She did not believe that it was all because of the guilt in his heart.

Shushu stood dumbly in front of the car as the "Access Safety" jade pendant hung on the mirror. She had personally hung it, and on the front of the car, there were also a few thin drills that she had stuck to the back of her phone. She would break them when she was bored, and some of them would even fall off and stick to the car.

Shu Shu took out her cell phone, her hand unconsciously trembling. She dialed the familiar number, forcing herself to calm down.

Ling Qiao had just arrived at the ward. He had come from the emergency passage of the hospital as Doctor Lin had opened the back door to lead him out in order to prevent him from being followed by reporters.

Seeing that it was Shu Shu calling, Ling Qiao retracted his hand that was pushing open the door, and stood still. "Hello wife, what's the matter?"

"Hubby, it's nothing, I just suddenly thought of you." ShuShu reached out to cover her chest, then calmly asked, "Are you in the company?"

"Yeah, I'm a bit busy today." Ling Qiao felt a little guilty, afraid that she would say that she was downstairs.

"Oh, no matter how busy you are, you have to take care of your body. Hubby, are you still working overtime today?"

"I'll try to get back as soon as possible, okay?"

"Alright, I'll wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, Shu Shu finally couldn't hold back her tears. She understood that he was busy with work and didn't have time to accompany her. She could understand why he helped her, but even if he hadn't forgotten her, she could still understand.

Deceit was the most important thing. The moment there was deception, it would be extremely difficult for one to understand him. It would also be extremely difficult for one to believe him.

Ling Qiao silently put the phone in his pocket, feeling a faint uneasiness in his heart.

A nurse passed by and greeted him, "President Ling, your wife came over just now. The two of you even took turns to come over."

Ling Qiao's brows creased deeper and deeper. Shu Shu had come here before, so she knew about it?

Feeling for the phone in his pocket, Ling Qiao really wanted to slap himself twice. Without saying anything further, he turned around and left.

When he reached the underground parking lot, he could hear ShuShu crying from afar. She was squatting in front of his car, sobbing nonstop.

He blamed himself, and his heart ached. If he didn't see her crying so miserably, he wouldn't have known that she was even heavier in his heart than he imagined.

"Wife." he cried, running over.

Shu Shu looked up in surprise. Seeing Ling Qiao running towards her, she instinctively wanted to dodge, but her legs that had been squatting there for a long time had already become numb.

She didn't want to be embarrassed like this in front of him. If she couldn't stand up, then she would wipe her tears away.

Ling Qiao ran forward in quick steps to help her up before reaching out to wipe her tears. He did not want her to cry and from the start, he did not want her to think too much before lying.

Shushu shrank back, holding back her tears and not letting him touch her.
