Chapter 97

Surgery is more difficult Qing Li stayed in the hospital for five days and was discharged, Liang Jin but still have to continue to be hospitalized because of heart problems.

Since she came to her senses from the anesthesia, Yue Zhi has been almost inseparable from her side, she said that time is not to say anything, did not ask Gano really after the incident, also did not ask Liang Jin’s situation.

Until the day she was discharged from the hospital, Yue Zhi came to take her out of the hospital, she stood in front of the window and suddenly spoke out, “The wedding is still a few days?”

She suddenly asked Yue Zhi do not know whether to be happy or sad, “It is already September 30th, from October 10th there are 10 days, we eight in the afternoon on the past, nine final confirmation of the scene layout and process.”

“Uh-huh.” Qing Li eyes some obsessive looking at the hospital outside, “after the wedding have to go to Indonesia, Martha sister’s ashes are still enshrined in a temple in Jakarta, to bring her and Gano really buried together or enshrined together also can.”

“I have already bought two adjoining cemeteries next to the Pure Land Temple in Johor, Malay, after which I will properly bury the siblings and let them pass on to the next life.” Yue Zhi walked to the window, straightened her hair, gently grabbed her wrist and took her hand up to look at it, “Even if I’m not here, I’ll still arrange for a good person to handle it, don’t you worry.”

Qingli slowly raised her head to look at him, “You’re not here, where are you going?”

Her dark gray eyes reflect the light outside the window, appearing transparent and bright, her eyes seem to return to the beginning of time, there is a kind of innocent pure child and childish, she asked Yue Qi in a sincere where she would go.

Yue Zhi was looked at by her heart is soft into a puddle of water, he wanted to say he does not go anywhere, but he finally did not say, just like before, unlimited attachment and tenderly rubbing the corners of her eyes, “you really are, you go to see Vito when I said you, the surface is strong, too soft will be hurt all the time.”

Qing Li mockingly skimmed her mouth, the corners of her eyes drooping, rarely revealing a look of an aggravated little daughter-in-law, “You have a hard heart, the hardest of all, almost all of those cuts on my heart were scratched by you, who can compare to you.”

Yue Zhi smiled and hugged her and shook her, “I’m sorry, I promise I won’t, when the wedding is over, no one will really be able to hurt you anymore, how can I afford to hurt you again now.”

This kind of embrace with a bit of warmth seems like a lifetime ago, Qing Li sniffled, “I heard you say let Gano really don’t get in the car, otherwise I really …… I’ll die with you and forget about it.”

Yue Zhi rubbed her forehead corner with his jaw, “I really wanted to before, but I really can’t let go, you have to be good, good ……”

After that, they didn’t go back to the manor, and simply stayed in the mansion on the Singapore side.

Yue Zhi’s work was so busy that he almost had to live in the company, the tit-for-tat between him and Li Chaoke had almost reached the point where they were in a state of flames, the two oil tankers had been blocked, and the accumulated cargo had to be paid out millions of dollars every day in insurance alone.

The members of Li Chaoke’s political party were constantly exposed as shady, the party’s support rate fell to a record low, not only Yunsheng, but also several associated entities have been affected.

It can be said that in addition to the final fatal blow to the other side, the two people have been red-eyed and unscrupulous.

Qing Li almost do not go out, every day is to stay in the mansion, there are Menggema and Thomas special to protect her, live in the hospital for a few days, her mental state, but a lot better, like a lot of things have been put aside, and do not want to think about it, and even very leisurely began to learn to cook, up is difficult desserts, a day to do a good job of several kinds.

Only she in this area is really no talent, try to work all to Menggema and Thomas to eat, causing the two people every day calorie intake burst, take turns to soak in the gym downstairs.

Yue Zhi said very envious, because he wanted to eat also can not eat, Qing Li said will not do the failure to him to eat, must make their own taste can also be qualified to give him to eat.

As a result, it dragged on until the afternoon of the eighth, before and after a total of ten cars, almost all of the people in the base who were free went out, they went to the coastal hotel that had been booked.

“The scenery is still very good.” Yue Zhi said as he looked out the window.

They stayed in a coastal villa closest to the main building of the three-story hotel, and there was a large terrace on the roof of the building, which allowed them to have a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery.

This place was not like other relaxing beaches of the kind with soft sand and hot sunshine, the entire several kilometers of coastline was almost all cliffs and rocks, with the waves constantly lapping at it over and over again, washing the cliffs and shores to a jagged and magnificent state.

The main building was built on an entire cliff face, half of it sticking out seven or eight meters above the cliff bank, the white outer wall very much in the style of a medieval stone castle went down, and they could even see so many strong and stout load-bearing pillars deep into the seawater below, firmly rooted to the bottom of the sea.

“It doesn’t look too soft, but it’s quite emotional.” Yue Zhi finished and turned back to see Qing Li on the bed rustily tapping the hotel equipped tablet with her left hand, “What are you doing, hungry?”

“I’m ordering some ingredients to make a cake.” Qing Li said without lifting her head.

“Addicted to making it? Let Xiji enroll you in a baking class when the wedding is over, okay.” Yue Zhi carefully took out his right hand, which was half-pressed by her body, and checked the gauze on it.

“Why Xiji?” She stopped asking even if Yue Zhi didn’t say anything.

In the evening, Qing Li finally made a cupcake that could still be looked at, and put it in the pink and white and skeletonized lace provided by the hotel, with a white lace bow tie tied on top.

She looked very happy, inserted a candle and took it upstairs.

Yue Zhi had just finished his shower, rubbing his hair and coming out of the bathroom, “Shall I help you take a shower?”

Although the surface of the wound on Qingli’s hand had basically healed, she could barely make any movements, and had to keep her hand weighed flat with a bandage fixation and her fingers stretched out to prevent contractures and deformities.

“Later, see, I did it.” Qing Li sat cross-legged on the bed and patted the opposite side, “Come and sit.”

Yue Zhi sat cross-legged across from her, “Why are you still sticking a candle in?”

“Isn’t the day after tomorrow my birthday, but I want to organize a wedding, so let’s celebrate a little in advance, I’ll make a birthday wish first, okay?” Qingli said.

Yue Zhi rarely saw such a childish moment from her, and nodded happily, “Good.”

Qingli lit the candles, he then tenderly sang a happy birthday song for her, his voice was low and nice, although a little out of tune, but his English pronunciation with an accent was very standard, the whole song was very moving.

The light was dim and they looked at each other through the tiny flames of the candles.

“Make a wish.” Yue Zhi held her hand and softly said.

Qingli closed her eyes and reverently made a wish, then blew out the candle.

Yue Zhi used the remote control to turn on the lights, “What did you wish for?”

Qing Li snuggled into his embrace, leaning on his shoulder across his waist, nudging the knot of his throat, her voice calm and docile, “In my next life, if life is still like this, I hope I can meet you earlier, you save me, I’ll save you too, let’s be good and stay together for a long time, okay?”

Yue Zhi’s chest rose and fell violently for a moment, the pain in his heart in that instant made it hard for him to breathe, his body trembled slightly, almost wanting to abandon his armor and surrender, taking her far away, going to a place where no one knew her, never to return.

“Good.” His voice was hard and choked, “Definitely, in my next life I’ll wait, early on I’ll go find you, make you happy since you were a child, and not let you suffer.”

Qingli pursed her lips, swallowed the sour tears, wiped her face and sat up, took a spoon, “Taste the cake, this is the best I’ve done.”

In fact, it still wasn’t good enough, the cake blank was on the hard side, and the cream wasn’t whipped enough, it was a bit thin, and it was already not molded, but they were still very serious about eating this cupcake cleanly.

Yue Zhi gave Qing Li a bath, the two embraced each other and lay on the bed, Qing Li peeled open the neckline of his robe and touched a round wound on his shoulder, this she knew, Li Chaoke once shot him with a single shot with his own hand.

“Where did this wound come from?” She hadn’t asked before, but today she was curious to know where all those wounds on Yue Zhi’s body actually came from.

Yue Zhi had lost a lot of weight during this period of time, instead, it gave him some weak and elegant temperament, and the beautiful lines of his muscles were more pronounced, Qing Li scratched at his body, and he itched some more, but he still endured it.

“South Africa when left, in order to Liang Jin fight a bottle of penicillin, and people duel, was cut by the knife.”

But more almost all related to Li Chaoke, she listened and also more clearly pieced together Yue Zhi’s childhood, is on the legal news will be hair-raising degree.

“It’s okay, I’ll be there later.” She patted Yue Zhi’s back and nestled herself into his arms, “Come and do it, okay.”

Yue Zhi had long been unable to hold back, but he was concerned about Qing Li’s right hand, hearing this, he raised his head with red eyes in difficulty, looked at her right hand, grabbed hold of it and bullied his way up, kissing her neck.

The air became humid and sticky, and the sound of waves hitting the cliff wall one by one came from outside the window.

Qing Li felt like she was in the sea, being propelled by the waves over and over again.

She climbed onto Yue Zhi’s shoulders with one hand, not caring if the other party was listening or not, and murmured, “In the drawer of my bedroom desk, there’s something very important, you must remember to look at it.”

Yue Zhi stifled a grunt and held her lips, not letting her speak.

The night got deeper and deeper, and there was no moon.

The next day, Yue Zhi was woken up by the movement around him, last night was too good, he was even reminiscing in his dreams, opening his eyes were rare some haze, “Ah Li ……”

Qing Li in the bedside has been dressed, habitual all black, seaside windy, but also added a black jacket, the only hand a touch of white.

That is Yue Zhi specially ordered from France, craftsmen rushed out overnight, a few meters of pure handmade six or seven centimeters wide white lace, is to replace the white gloves, in her wearing a wedding dress when wrapped around the outside of the bandages on her hands.

She had practiced several times, and was already able to skillfully wrap it around herself and tie it in a reasonably good bow.

“So early? Come over and sleep a little longer.” Yue Zhi looked at Qing Li who had gotten dressed and was tying the lace, patting the quilt, not wanting to lose her body heat, “The venue is still being set up, and the rehearsal is until the afternoon.”

“I’m going ahead to confirm the venue.” Qing Li rolled up her cuffs, and smoothly inserted the knife clasp on her back waist that had been following her, the military knife Yue Zhi had given her, and looked back at Yue Zhi, “Sir, goodbye.”

Yue Zhi had never been so sleepless before, he didn’t even hear what Qing Li said, waiting until the sound of the door closing, he only seemed to instantly wake up and sat up from the bed.

After thinking about it, he called Mongoma, “Ah Li went out?”

“Well, right here, just came up and was over there looking at the roses that had just been delivered …… and went out again, seems to have gone to the lounge next door.” Montgomery said.

“Well, watch her a little, I will go up immediately.” Yue Zhi rolled over and got out of bed, just as he put on his pants, the door was knocked on, he went over and pulled the door open, his brows immediately frowned, “Who let you come here, don’t you know what’s going on with your body? Xiji let you out of the hospital?”

Liang Jin’s face was ugly, a look of a long time illness, he looked over Yue Zhi’s shoulder to the inside of the room, “Just came, where’s Qing Li?”

“Went to the wedding venue on the third floor over the main building, what’s wrong?” Yue Zhi was puzzled.

Liang Jin turned back and left, “I’ll go find her.”

“Liang Jin!” Yue Zhi shouted to see that he didn’t respond, casually grabbed a black shirt and chased after him while wearing it.

On the way, how he asked, Liang Jin didn’t say a word, just so until he reached the third floor of the main building, the lounge next to the venue.

Qing Li stood in front of the window, holding her cell phone in her hand and not knowing what she was looking at.

Yue Qi said, “I thought you were next door, what are you doing here?”

It was the bride’s lounge next door, which was much larger and the wedding dress had just been delivered.

“Because I don’t want to dirty my wedding dress.” Aonashi whispered, moving her finger over the screen of her cell phone.

“Don’t move!” Liang Jin droned, raising the gun in his hand at her.

Yue Zhi finally experienced a handful of what it meant to be head over heels, he grabbed Liang Jin’s hand and tried to unload the gun, “Liang Jin, what are you doing, are you crazy?!”

“That video is in her hands, and it’s the original video, she’s going to send it out now!” Liang Jin struggled to push Yue Zhi away.

Yue Zhi’s entire body froze instantly, “What do you mean that video is in Ah Li’s hands?”

“The last time she was captured by Li Chaoke, it was me and her who set it up, she infiltrated Li Chaoke’s mansion, collected evidence of Li Chaoke’s crimes, and got the original copy of that video, she’s now going to send it out to the media and Li Chaoke’s political opponents.” Liang Jin couldn’t care less and directly showed his cards.

Yue Zhi no longer knew exactly which sentence in this paragraph to question, he looked at his favorite person and the person he had nursed as his younger brother since childhood, creating an unprecedented strangeness, but soon he reacted to what was the most important thing right now.

He stared at Qing Li, the knots in his throat rolled a few times, and only after a long time did he say, “Ah Li, no, that video is absolutely not to be circulated, don’t be capricious, you give me the things first, and we’ll discuss what’s going on.”

Qing Li held up her cell phone and shook her head, “No, I can’t give it to you, it’s this that has bound you for twenty years, if it’s no longer a secret, then you don’t have to be afraid of it anymore, and even less need to be held and controlled by Li Chaoke.”

“No, I can’t, I will find a way, but this video can’t be circulated.” Yue Zhi paranoid and stubbornly refused.

“What way do you want, after so many years you didn’t rush up to kill Li Chaoke, isn’t it because you are afraid of this, you have a way you used it long ago, you won’t wait until now, you are just afraid that if he dies this video will no longer be under control, that’s why you endured for so many years isn’t it?” Qing Li smiled, “Let me help you make up your mind about this.”

She glanced at the cell phone screen and tapped her finger twice, “Very soon.”

Yue Zhi took the gun in Liang Jin’s hand and aimed it at Qing Li, his expression numb and blank, muttering, “Don’t force me, Ah Li, give me the phone.”

Qing Li sighed, shaking her head with the corners of her red eyes, “No, this is the last thing I can do for you.”

“I don’t need to! You let go!” Yue Zhi yelled lowly, also red-eyed, like a trapped beast, “You’ve been planning this for a long time haven’t you, all this time you’ve been paralyzing me, making me think that we’ve already made up, this is what you’re waiting for, do you know what will happen if this video is sent out?”

“I know you’re not doing it for yourself, you’re doing it for your mom, for your grandparents.” Qing Li said gently.

“Then it’s all the more reason why you shouldn’t be like this, Ah Li, Ah Li!” Yue Zhi stared at her hand, almost breaking down.

“It’s too late.” Qing Li had been waiting for this day for a long time.

The sound of a finger lightly touching the screen sounded almost simultaneously with the sound of a gunshot.

The bullet went through Qing Li’s shoulder, the pain twisting her face, but she managed to use her inertia to throw the phone in her hand out the window and into the sea before she fell to the ground from the impact.

Yue Zhi couldn’t believe that he actually did shoot, and when he pounced to catch Qing Li, the video or whatever no longer mattered.

“Ah Li, Ah Li, I’m sorry I’m sorry.” He pressed his hand against her wound, trying to stop the gurgling blood, panicking his hands and feet, “Don’t be like this, don’t be like this …… Go find someone ah! Call the woodpecker!” He yelled at Liang Jin.

Qing Li looked at him calm and flat, no emotion, like he had long expected this moment, the corners of his mouth even with a light smile, she held the hand that he pressed on his shoulder blood blurred, “I’m not angry.”

She looked at his face and couldn’t give up her eyes, from the first face she felt that this face was good looking, and now she still feels this way, how can she not see enough.

When the explosion came, she watched Yue Zhi take herself into his arms to protect her, sighing again.

“I’m the one who should be sorry.”

I’m sorry for not being able to pull off the wedding you always wanted.
