All these benefits definitely have to be hers!
“Mom, he didn’t care about you crying and making a fuss. But if you don’t even want your life, would Dad still not care?
Xia Qingyang’s mind ticked and her face paled instantly, beads of cold sweat forming on her forehead. Looking at Lu Qi’s cold expression, she asked dryly, incredulously, “Don’t even want my life… You even want me to commit suicide?”
Lu Qi sighed. “I’m not asking you to commit suicide in real, what were you thinking? You’re my mother, why will I ever harm or hurt you?”
Xia Qingyang sighed in relief, and heard Lu Qi say, “You just need to put on a show, that’s all!”
Therefore, Lu Qiyuan received a phone call regarding her Xia Qingyang’s suicidal attempt from the maid.
Although he clearly knew that Xia Qingyang wouldn’t make a joke about her own life, Lu Qiyuan still had to return home.
“Where’s Madam?” Entering the house, Lu Qiyuan asked, his voice low and dark.
“Madam is lying in the bedroom.” Auntie Chen took Lu Qiyuan’s coat from him.
Lu Qiyuan’s face darkened even more when he went to the bedroom only to see Lu Qi staying by Xia Qingyang’s bed.
Xia Qingyang’s face was surprisingly really pale and devoid of any color. Her wrist was even covered in bandages.
Lu Qiyuan’s eyebrows jumped in surprise. Did Xia Qingyang really try to end her life?
Lu Qiyuan had never expected Xia Qingyang to really do something so extreme because of him.
Suddenly, an indescribable strange feeling rose in his chest, yet at the same time, he felt a little smug. Xia Qingyang really treated him like he was her whole world.
Seeing Lu Qiyuan return, Xia Qingyang hurriedly tried to sit up but was stopped by Lu Qi. “Mom, please lie down and try not to move about.”
Lu Qiyuan sighed and walked over to sit on the side of the bed. “Qi Qi is right, stop moving about. Why… why were you so foolish!”
Xia Qingyang’s broke into tears, her tears streaming endlessly down her face. “Isn’t it because I’m scared that you don’t want me anymore?”
Xia Qingyang’s hand trembled as she grabbed onto Lu Qiyuan’s hand as if she was holding onto her own life. “Qiyuan, I only have you, please don’t ever abandon me.”
Her words struck a chord with Lu Qiyuan and he sighed. “Why wouldn’t I want you? I didn’t go to find Xia Qingwei at all. It’s just that my mood wasn’t that great, so I wanted to just go out and take a stroll, relax a little. Don’t overthink it.”
“Mm.” Xia Qingyang nodded pitifully. “It’s all my fault. I foolishly suspected you without any reason. Qiyuan, can you forgive me?”
“Yes.” Lu Qiyuan patted Xia Qingwei’s shoulder lightly, thinking that she only did this because she cared for him, he couldn’t stay angry anymore. “You too, why did you mention Xia Qingwei for no reason? I’ve been married to you for so many years, yet why do you still care about what she does. It’s just I was already troubled by matters at work and you kept dragging the conversation to Xia Qingwei, I just couldn’t stand it anymore and so I wanted to go out.”
“Would… wouldn’t it be good if you could just explain it to me? You can tell me about what’s troubling you at work too. Even if I might not know anything, and can’t help you much, it will be good for you to just have a listening ear.” Xia Qingyang showed her meek demeanor. “Qiyuan, I won’t keep mentioning Xia Qingwei anymore, I know I was wrong. In the future, if anything is troubling you, just tell me, don’t bottle it up, it just makes my heart ache.”
“Alright.” Lu Qiyuan finally smiled.
This is what Xia Qingyang should be!
As expected, it was because Xia Qingyang cared too much about him that she overstepped her boundaries.
“Mom, Dad just got back. Because he was worried about you, he didn’t bother changing out of his clothes. Let Dad change first,” Lu Qi thoughtfully mentioned, standing at the side.
Xia Qingyang hurriedly let go of Lu Qiyuan’s arm. As if he was everything to her, she said, “Lu Qiyuan, don’t worry about me.”
“I’m already back, how could I not care about you?” Lu Qiyuan said.
“Dad, Mom, just now you didn’t even eat much for dinner. I’ll get Auntie Chen to prepare something.”
After Lu Qiyuan nodded to her, Lu Qi left the bedroom, leaving Lu Qiyuan and Xia Qingyang behind.
