Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Don’t want to eat? Then don’t leave.

"Mom, keep your voice down."

Madam Qi’s sudden raise in voice caused Qi Yunqian to frown displeasedly, and he instinctively glanced at Song Shiwei on the hospital bed.

Fortunately, she hadn’t woken up.

Qi Yunqian, with some headache, stepped forward and gently pushed Madam Qi’s shoulder, "Mom, let’s talk outside."

Madam Qi was disgruntled but knew she couldn’t start arguing with him here, so she let herself be pushed out with a stern face.

Out in the hallway.

Madam Qi took a deep breath and asked him coldly, "Tell me, what’s going on?"

"Shiwei was injured, I brought her to the hospital," Qi Yunqian said, his face showing a trace of fatigue as he briefly explained.

Madam Qi’s brows furrowed even more tightly, "She’s injured, there’s 120, there are doctors, there are nurses, what does it have to do with you?"

Madam Qi looked at him with suspicion, "She wouldn’t still have feelings for you and want to remarry with you, would she?"

After all, she knew how much the young girl Song Shiwei had liked her son in the past.

A bitter taste filled Qi Yunqian’s mouth as he murmured softly, "If she really still had feelings for me, that would be good..."

But the reality was.

Song Shiwei would rather die than stay by his side.

Upon hearing Qi Yunqian’s low murmur, Madam Qi’s face darkened instantly, and she held him, earnestly saying, "Yunqian, don’t forget, we’ve already set an engagement with the Jiang Family!"

"You’re now a man with a fiancée, and you’re going to marry the Jiang family’s daughter! You can’t keep entangled with Song Shiwei! If the Jiang family finds out, where would the Qi family put their face?"

"I know, I haven’t forgotten," Qi Yunqian felt stifled, as if a huge stone was stuck in his chest, heavy, making it hard for him to breathe.

Almost everyone was reminding him, his fate with Song Shiwei had ended.

He and she have no future together anymore.

This made Qi Yunqian feel panicked and unwilling, and all the more eager to hold on to Song Shiwei.

Madam Qi sighed with relief, "It’s good that you haven’t forgotten."

She gently patted the back of Qi Yunqian’s hand and sighed, "I know that Shiwei has always been a good child, but you and she are simply not meant to be."

Qi Yunqian felt a pain in his chest, his whole body almost numb with agony. He closed his eyes, concealing the pain in his gaze, and after a long silence, he said slowly, "Mom, cancel the engagement with the Jiang family."

Madam Qi was stunned, "What did you say?"

"Cancel the engagement with the Jiang family," Qi Yunqian’s face was pale, but there was no sign of emotion on his handsome face, "In my heart, I still have Shiwei. In this lifetime, besides Shiwei, I don’t want to marry anyone else."

"As for any losses incurred by the Jiang family, I will compensate."

"Qi Yunqian, do you know what you are saying!" Madam Qi suddenly stood up, her face incredulous, "The engagement banquet between Qi family and Jiang family is about to take place, and now you’re telling me you want to cancel the engagement with the Jiang family?!"

Furiously, she pointed at the hospital room, "Is it that little bitch Song Shiwei behind this, egging you on? This is outrageous! I should go ask her myself! What kind of love potion has she given you that you’re so fixated on her?!"

With that, Madam Qi was ready to storm into the hospital room.

She had barely taken a step when her arm was grabbed by Qi Yunqian, his voice cold, "It has nothing to do with her, it’s my own decision."

Madam Qi grew even more furious, her head buzzing.

Trembling, she pointed at Qi Yunqian, her teeth gritted as she asked, "Have you gone mad? You’re passing up the well-matched daughter of the Jiang family and instead you want to remarry Song Shiwei? Do you think marriage is a child’s play?"

"I don’t treat marriage as child’s play," Qi Yunqian lowered his gaze, expressionless, and said, "I just... in this lifetime, I only want to marry Song Shiwei."

Madam Qi felt her blood pressure rising with anger, pointing at him, unable to speak for a moment.

Qi Yunqian was also afraid that she would get too angry and hurt herself, his lips pressed into a thin line as he said, "Mom, I’ll handle the matter with the Jiang family properly, so you don’t need to worry."

Having said that, he waved to his assistant standing not far down the corridor, "Come here, take the old madam back home."

Assistant: "Yes."

The assistant stepped forward, "Old madam, let me take you back."

Madam Qi’s face turned ashen, her chest heaving violently. She knew well that some matters were better not discussed in the hospital.

With a glare that conveyed her disappointment, she got up with the aid of the assistant, "Come home tonight, I need to talk this over with you properly."

Qi Yunqian lowered his eyes, responding faintly.

Madam Qi felt a suffocating frustration, and before leaving, she gave a fierce glare at the hospital room door. Although she resented Song Shiwei in her heart, she said nothing and left with the assistant.

Qi Yunqian stood quietly at the door of the hospital room for a while. He looked down at his clothes stained with blood stains, let out a sigh, and made a call to his life assistant to bring over some clean clothes.

Song Shiwei did not wake up until the evening.

She blinked her eyes, adjusting to the dim light in the room, and gradually let her gaze fall on the tall figure bent over by the bedside.

Her hand was held in his.

Song Shiwei’s brows furrowed slightly, a flicker of disgust crossing the depths of her eyes as she indifferently withdrew her hand.

As she moved, Qi Yunqian, who had been watching over her all day, sensed it.

He suddenly opened his eyes, looking at Song Shiwei with a hint of joy, "Shiwei, are you awake? Does the wound hurt? Are you hungry?"

Song Shiwei did not answer his questions, just stared straight at him, her voice weak and hoarse, "You said you would let me go."

Qi Yunqian’s heart clenched painfully, whitening his already pale face. He hummed softly and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t go back on my word. Once your wound is healed, I will let you go."

"Otherwise, I won’t have peace of mind."

Receiving his promise, Song Shiwei’s tense nerves finally completely relaxed. She said coldly, "I will handle my wound myself, someone will come to take care of me."

"I don’t want to see you now, please leave my hospital room."

As soon as these words fell, Song Shiwei stopped talking and closed her eyes, expressing two words to Qi Yunqian with her whole being.

Resistance.

She was resisting him.

She was disgusted with him.

She wouldn’t even grant him the last few days of closeness.

Qi Yunqian’s breathing grew heavier, his hand falling to his side clenched into a fist, his forehead straining with visible veins.

But he said nothing, just took a deep look at Song Shiwei and left the hospital room.

Song Shiwei had thought that her harsh words would be too much for Qi Yunqian to bear, and he would have left straight away.

But to her surprise, Qi Yunqian returned in less than ten minutes, holding a thermos in his hand.

Song Shiwei frowned and opened her eyes to see.

Qi Yunqian was placing the thermos on the bedside table, opening the lid to reveal the fragrant black rice porridge inside.

Feeling her gaze, he glanced at her indifferently and said, "The doctor advised that since you’ve had an abdominal injury, you can have some black rice porridge."

"You haven’t eaten all day, you must be hungry, I’ll feed you the porridge in a moment..."

"Take it away," Song Shiwei interrupted him with a face full of annoyance, "I’m not eating."

Qi Yunqian’s eyes flickered as he replied coldly, "If you don’t eat, then don’t even think about leaving."
