Two hours later, Qu Biao's anesthetic was over and his wounds started to hurt.
But he endured it and asked Shi Xingcan in a small voice, "Have we been brought out by the Uncle Qin?"
Shi Xingcan smiled and nodded: "We will temporarily stay at Uncle Qin's home."
"Temporarily?" Qu Biao looked at her doubtfully, and thought for a while, "Can we only stay for a short period of time?"
Shi Xingcan nodded: "After you recover, we'll have to go live somewhere else."
"Where to?"
"Let's go to a new place, we'll go together."
Qu Biao nodded obediently as he looked at the ceiling in confusion.
Shi Xingcan suddenly felt her heart ache. It was obvious that she was the one who wanted to snatch the child from Qu Zhong's hands without a care, but she couldn't give the child a better life than before.
She held Qu Biao's hand and asked: "Do you miss your mother?"
Qu Biao looked at her eyebrows, which were slightly lowered due to guilt and sadness, and shook his head. "I just want father."
Shi Xingcan's heart suddenly softened. "Do you want to give daddy a call?"
Qu Biao shook his head: "I don't have the strength to talk right now."
Shi Xingcan held onto his soft little hand, her heart a mess of softness.
After pacifying Qu Biao, Shi Xingcan went downstairs to eat dinner with Qin Yanmo.
The atmosphere was much better than what she had imagined. Qin Yanmo did not take the opportunity to tease her, nor did he reveal any belittling or complacent look. He looked at her as if he was looking at a friend worthy of respect, or … Partner?
Shi Xingcan did not want to think too much into it. After hurriedly taking a bath, she wore a blue robe and wiped her hair as she walked out of her room. She then met Qin Yanmo who had also came out from his bedroom.
Shi Xingcan blushed so much that she avoided his gaze and asked: "Why did you come out?"
Qin Yanmo stared intently at Shi Xingcan. It was unknown whether her face was covered with sweat or water, but the sweat flowed down her neck all the way to her thin clothes. Her originally loose clothes were now sticking to her body due to the moisture, revealing a beautiful curve.
Looking at the faintly discernible exquisite collarbone, Qin Yanmo's gaze grew a little deeper.
Although Shi Xingcan didn't know what the meaning of his gaze was, she could still feel the danger within and was slightly afraid, so she shrunk back a little.
Qin Yanmo quickly adjusted his eyes, he couldn't let a moment of impatience destroy his efforts for so long.
He lowered his gaze and said, "There's something I need to take care of."
"You're going out?" Shi Xingcan looked at his grey housedress as if he was about to go out.
"Just go to the study room for a video conference," Qin Yanmo explained. "There's a small problem with the companies overseas."
Shi Xingcan nodded, and said with some admiration: "You're really amazing."
Qin Yanmo had heard many praises in the past, but none of them could make him as happy as he was today.
Even the expression in her eyes had become much gentler than usual. Qin Yanmo smiled and asked her: "Are you going to take a look?"
Shi Xingcan was a little surprised and asked: "Can I go?"
There must be a lot of secrets in the study and bedroom, right?
Qin Yanmo smiled and said, "I've already invited you, why not?"
Qin Yanmo's study was very big, even bigger than Qu Zhong's master bedroom. Several bookshelves made of red sandalwood occupied an entire wall's worth of seats, a computer was placed on the desk, and there was even a sofa.
Other than that, there was nothing else. It was much simpler than what Shi Xingcan had imagined.
Seeing her distracted expression, Qin Yanmo smiled and asked: "Is it different from what you imagined?"
Shi Xingcan nodded, "I thought it would be the same as the science fiction films."
She walked up to the well-lit French windows. She could not see much of the scenery at night, and by the light of the moon, she could see that there were a lot of vegetation outside.
Shi Xingcan touched the Tigerskin Orchid by the window, and was immediately lost in thought.
Qin Yanmo sat in front of his computer, his back was ramrod straight. Even the gray household uniform could not conceal the aura he was emitting.
A voice quickly came over from the computer as if it was very anxious.
Qin Yanmo replied in a calm manner, his calm voice seemed to have the effect of pacifying people's hearts, causing the people on the other side of the video to quickly quieten down.
Shi Xingcan stood by the window and listened quietly. Their words were not English, but a little language.
Qin Yanmo's voice was originally low and magnetic, it sounded like an elegant cello when she chatted with them.
Shi Xingcan stood in the middle of the room and looked at Qin Yanmo with some curiosity.
Qin Yanmo waved at her. Shi Xingcan hesitated for a moment, then walked to his side.
Shi Xingcan stared at his cold face, the back of his warm hands suddenly covered up.
Her body trembled in fear and she subconsciously wanted to retract her hand, but Qin Yanmo was even faster, his strength was so strong that she could almost break his hand bones.
As if a century had passed, Qin Yanmo ended the meeting, pressed the video screen, went close to Shi Xingcan's ear and whispered: "You have been waiting for a long time now, right?"
When the warm breath landed on his ears, Shi Xingcan was startled, but immediately after, his entire body shivered, and his hair stood on end.
Qin Yanmo was so amused by her reaction that he turned off the computer while smiling.
Just as Shi Xingcan reacted, her breath went from her ears to her mouth.
For a time, her world was left with only his eyes that were even darker than ink, accepting his request in a daze.
After a kiss, Qin Yanmo wrapped his arms around her waist and asked: "Can I?"
Of course Shi Xingcan knew what he meant, and looked at him with some hesitation.
There were raging waves rolling in Qin Yanmo's eyes, but his expression was calm and patient.
Shi Xingcan was extremely conflicted. In the end, she gritted her teeth and nodded her head, because she was already single.
After getting her approval, Qin Yanmo could no longer tolerate it and quickly stripped her of her clothes.
Shi Xingcan resisted, pushing at Qin Yanmo's tight chest: "Are we going to stay here?"
Qin Yanmo really wanted to do this, but he didn't want to scare Shi Xingcan.
Seeing her slightly frightened face, Qin Yanmo still carried her and kicked open the bedroom door.
There was still a long way to go, and it wouldn't be too late for her to change positions after she got used to the bedroom.
In the darkness, Shi Xingcan could feel Qin Yanmo's deep desire.
He ran his long fingers through her hair, bringing with it a cool mint smell, the smell of her shampoo.
Shi Xingcan anxiously hugged onto his neck tightly, Qin Yanmo patted her bottom and laughed lowly: "Let go of me first, I won't be able to stretch out this way."
Shi Xingcan didn't know what he meant by unable to extend her arms, and only let go as she said.
Next, she regretted listening to him.
Qin Yanmo who was stretched out was too terrifying, Shi Xingcan felt as though her bones were going to shatter, she was unable to even say a single word.
Last time, Qin Yanmo was wary of her for the first time, so his movements were restrained, but this time he ruthlessly attacked fiercely.
But no matter how she cried and begged, Qin Yanmo still went crazy as if he had been drugged.
When the sky was bright, Shi Xingcan finally woke up. Her body was in a terrifyingly painful pain, and it was even worse than the first time.
She took out her phone and checked, only to find that there were nearly 30 missed calls, all from time home.
Shi Xingcan had a bad premonition. She relaxed her body and laid on the soft bed as she dialed Shi Jun's number.
"Xingcan, where are you?" Shi Jun talked to her in a tone that rarely resembled a father.
"Sleep in the hotel." Shi Xingcan didn't want to reveal the matter between her and Qin Yanmo, so she casually told a lie, "Do you have something to say?"
"Since you're divorced, then come back." Shi Jun advised sincerely, "Your mother also misses you, you should come back and accompany her."
Shi Xingcan didn't think that there would still be a day where Shi Jun wanted to return home for him. He was stunned for a few seconds and then asked: "Dad, did something happen at home?"
"What can happen to my family?" Shi Jun said, "I just wanted you to come back."
Before Shi Xingcan could think of how to respond, she saw Qin Yanmo coming out of the bathroom bare-chested when he raised his head. The words that she had thought of with much difficulty disappeared in an instant.
Shi Jun who had been waiting for a response looked at the phone strangely and asked: "Xingcan? Why aren't you saying anything? "
Looking at her dazed expression, Qin Yanmo laughed softly and mouthed, "Agree to his request."
Only now did Shi Xingcan realize that she was still on the phone, and immediately explained: "My signal isn't good, I didn't receive it just now."
Shi Jun 'oh', then said: "Are you coming back?"
"Yes, since you don't mind me, I'll go back and accompany Mom."
Shi Jun's tone was filled with the reproach of pampering, "Child, is father really that unbearable in your heart?"
Shi Xingcan really wanted to say 'yes', but her rationality suppressed her emotions, and she said, "I'll be buying a ticket now, I should be able to get there by tonight."
"After you buy a ticket, remember to tell dad to send someone to pick you up." Shi Jun's tone contained an uncontrollable excitement, and he believed that it was definitely not because of him.
After hanging up, Shi Xingcan asked Qin Yanmo: "Do you know why my father wants me to go home?"
Qin Yanmo sneered: "If you divorce Qu Zhong, wouldn't he use this opportunity to slaughter Qu Family?"
Shi Xingcan frowned: "But I already signed the divorce agreement."
"So what? The Qu Family's reputation has already fallen to the bottom, the judge will accept this case, and at that time, he will probably let you bring Qu Biao to testify. "
Shi Xingcan didn't want to disturb Qu Biao's growth so she said in a displeased tone: "What does this have to do with Qu Biao?"
"Qu Biao was the child you gave birth to when you married Qu Zhong. In other words, Qu Zhong gave birth to an illegitimate child after cheating and passed the illegitimate child to you to raise after the divorce. If you were a judge, how would you make the decision?"
"I took the initiative to ask for Qu Biao's custody rights from him."
"It's useless. As Qu Zhong's and Han Yue's children, Qu Biao must attend the court." Qin Yanmo explained, "But I will do my best to protect him, don't worry."
"I don't want him to return to Han Yue's side," Shi Xingcan said as she lifted her eyes, and bumped into his deep eyes without warning. She shifted her gaze away somewhat bashfully, and continued, "Han Yue is not good to him in the slightest."
"Don't worry, I won't be unable to protect a child." Qin Yanmo smiled at her, took a few steps forward, and leaned in closer, his hot breath blowing into his ears, "You don't believe me?"
There was nothing in Shi Xingcan's mind that she didn't believe in. She could only nod her head dumbly.
Qin Yanmo was so overjoyed by her reaction that he hugged and kissed her for a long time. Finally, he bit her face and said bitterly, "Quickly go home!"
Shi Xingcan worriedly asked back, "Will Qu Biao be okay here?"
"You think I'm going to let something happen to him?" Qin Yanmo raised his eyebrows and asked.
Shi Xingcan shook her head: "I'm just afraid that Qu Zhong will come to steal people."
Qin Yanmo scoffed, and said disdainfully: "Don't worry, he doesn't have that kind of guts."
