"Damn it! Lu Qing, you actually ditched me again!"
Lu Qing glanced at her lightly: "Unhappy? Wanna fight?"
Jiaojiao angrily rolled up her sleeves: "Fight then! I’m afraid of you? I’m a black belt in karate, I don’t believe I can’t beat you!"
Qin Miaomiao said quietly: "He can take on ten people. Jiaojiao, are you sure you want to try?"
Jiaojiao’s face suddenly stiffened. Ten... ten people?
"You’re lucky this time. Next time, next time I’ll knock your teeth out. Xiaoxiao, let’s go."
Lin Xiaoxiao was a bit stunned. Just giving up like that? She was worried they’d really start fighting later.
Before she left, she turned back to look at Lu Qing, the man she had admired all these years. If some feelings were just one-sided, then she should let them go.
Even if giving up this love would feel like tearing her heart apart, she had to smile. Goodbye, Lu Qing.
She would find a man truly meant for her, someone whose eyes and heart would be entirely hers.
No matter when he comes, she would look forward to it. There had to be someone like that out there.
The two walked away, while Qin Miaomiao clutched her stomach in laughter. Lu Qing placed a hand on her shoulder:
Qin Miaomiao glared at him: "You ditched Jiaojiao again. You better watch out, Jin Jing will give you hell."
Lu Qing squinted his eyes: "Would he dare?"
Uh... actually, probably not.
"Jiaojiao’s a woman, are you jealous of even women now?"
Lu Qing snorted disdainfully: "What part of her looks like a woman?"
Jiaojiao, someone’s trash-talking you!
"You’re definitely jealous of how cool she looks. In my heart, my husband is the coolest, okay? Now, let’s be done here and check out. If we stay any longer, I’m gonna go crazy. No one stays in the hospital just because of period cramps! It’s embarrassing!"
Lu Qing stroked her hair: "The discharge paperwork is already being processed. Who would dare mock you?"
"Jiaojiao and Xiaoxiao found out. Your buddies definitely know too, not to mention Little Sixth and Little Seventh. What do you think they’ll say? My embarrassment will spread all the way to the Pacific Ocean."
Lu Qing suppressed his laughter, smoothed out her hair that had been turned into a bird’s nest, and patiently reassured her:
"Relax, they won’t laugh at you. At least, not openly."
That means behind her back, right?
This stain on her reputation, she probably wouldn’t be able to wash it off for the rest of her life.
Before leaving the hospital, she stopped to see Lu Lu, who was still guarded by Fang Li at her bedside.
Lu Lu’s arm was in a sling, her face looked pale and haggard. When she saw Qin Miaomiao, her expression turned complicated. Instead of losing her temper, she simply looked away. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel-fire.ɴet
Fang Li’s gaze, however, was full of hatred, as though Qin Miaomiao were her sworn enemy.
"What are you here for? Get out."
Qin Miaomiao understood instantly. It seemed reconciliation was out of the question, their enmity only grew deeper. Fine, if there’s no familial bond as in-law, there’s no need to force it.
"Alright then, take care and rest well. Goodbye."
Fang Li was livid and roared:
"You’re leaving just like that? My daughter ended up , you’re fully responsible!"
Lu Lu tugged at her sleeve: "Mom, stop talking."
Fang Li looked at her in disbelief: "Stop talking? After suffering such a loss, you won’t let me speak? What’s wrong with you? Qin Miaomiao, I never expected you to be so cruel! I, Fang Li, will never acknowledge you as my daughter-in-law!"
Qin Miaomiao indifferently raised an eyebrow: "Oh."
"Oh? Is that your attitude? I’m your elder! Someone like you, if it were ancient times, would’ve been thrown out of the family already!"
Qin Miaomiao let out a cold laugh: "Mother-in-law, as long as Lu Qing says the word, I’ll leave without complaint. Since you despise me so much, let’s avoid seeing each other from now on. Holidays and whatnot, Lu Qing can handle visiting on my behalf. Just act like I don’t exist as your daughter-in-law. That way, neither of us has to deal with the other. Wouldn’t that be perfect?"
