When the three children saw that Xu Qing’s face was indeed pale and she was clearly listless, they immediately didn’t dare to disturb their mother anymore. They hurriedly urged Qiao Yanhui to carry Xu Qing back to her room to rest. Their mother seemed to be about to pass out at any time. The children were still young, but they knew what separation, fear, and worry meant.

Qiao Yanhui didn’t have time to comfort the children. He turned around and closed the door before gently placing Xu Qing on the bed. Then, he stood by the bed and stared at Xu Qing. His eyes were filled with deep worry, as if he would lose her if he wasn’t careful enough.

Xu Qing knew that this was a sign of Qiao Yanhui’s anger. He was definitely furious.

“Little Hui, I’m sorry that I didn’t hold your hand tightly and got separated from you guys. I even got myself injured and made you and the children worry,” Xu Qing said in a low voice. Qiao Yanhui’s silence made her a little afraid.

In reality, Qiao Yanhui had always been a cold and heartless man. He was only willing to show his gentle side in front of Xu Qing! However, he was still aloof by nature.

“Little Hui… I’m really fine… Look, I’m already standing in front of you… Don’t be angry or blame yourself, okay?” Xu Qing wanted to pull Qiao Yanhui’s hand, but she tugged on her wound. She was in so much pain that she didn’t dare to move anymore.

Qiao Yanhui couldn’t bear to see her like this, so he reached out to hold her hand. His hoarse voice was filled with anger and self-reproach as he said, “Don’t leave my side again, okay? I was very worried about you!”

“Alright! I promise.” Xu Qing smiled gently.

Seeing Xu Qing like this, no matter how angry Qiao Yanhui was, he suppressed his anger. Moreover, he was only angry at himself. “Be good and get some rest.” Qiao Yanhui sat by the bed as he held Xu Qing’s hand. His gaze was filled with emotions that Xu Qing couldn’t discern clearly.

Xu Qing nodded obediently. She was really tired and her injuries made it inconvenient for her to move. With Qiao Yanhui beside her, Xu Qing quickly fell asleep.

Qiao Yanhui’s gaze was fixed on Xu Qing’s face. He touched her pale face, his eyes filled with pity. He didn’t know who had saved Xu Qing, nor did he know how many injuries she had suffered. However, it was fine as long as Xu Qing returned to his side. He wouldn’t let anyone who dared to hurt his wife and children off!

When Xu Qing woke up again, she saw a handsome face close in front of her. He looked a little tired and even had stubble. It could be seen that he hadn’t taken care of himself for a while. How big of a reaction would it cause if someone of his status didn’t pay attention to his appearance? One could imagine how worried and afraid Qiao Yanhui was when she was unconscious!

Xu Qing caressed Qiao Yanhui’s face with heartache and moved her body to kiss Qiao Yanhui’s pursed lips. Then, she wanted to leave, but a large hand grabbed the back of her head and deepened the kiss. Xu Qing felt a moist sensation on her lips, and the tip of Qiao Yanhui’s tongue entered her mouth forcefully, as if it wanted to devour her.

Xu Qing knew that Qiao Yanhui was afraid, so she could only comfort him gently with a kiss. Qiao Yanhui gradually became gentler as well.

Qiao Yanhui looked at the woman in his arms. She fell unconscious for another two days. He also knew who had saved her, and his expression darkened. How could that person send Xu Qing back just like that? There must be something between them that he didn’t know about! Thinking of this, Qiao Yanhui was filled with jealousy. He was jealous of that man getting close to Xu Qing when he wasn’t there, and jealous of that man appearing in time when Xu Qing was in danger…

“Little Hui… when I recover, we’ll…” Xu Qing’s voice was very soft. She could sense the change in Qiao Yanhui’s emotions and felt his forbearance. She was unwilling to let Qiao Yanhui continue to hold it in. The two of them were in love, so it was normal to make love. However, when she expressed this in words, Xu Qing still felt her face burn. No matter what, she really had very little experience in this area!

“Fool.” Qiao Yanhui hugged Xu Qing quietly and sighed when he thought about this silly woman. He was thinking about where Xu Qing had been for the past two days. For a moment, there was silence between the two of them.

“What’s wrong?” Xu Qing looked at Qiao Yanhui in confusion.

“Where did you go during those two days?” Qiao Yanhui didn’t like to be paranoid, especially with Xu Qing. Therefore, he chose to ask directly. He believed that Xu Qing was willing to tell him and wouldn’t hide anything.
