Chapter 2050 : Do You Not Want Me Anymore? The old lady’s eyes widened. “Morning sickness? Young people nowadays don’t even know that they’re pregnant?” Ye Qingqiu was stunned for a long time before she shook her head. “No…”
The old lady frowned and took Ye Qingqiu’s arm, placing her fingers on it.
“I’ve been a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner all my life and I’ve given birth to six children. My son and daughter have given birth to more than ten grandchildren for me. I’ve also treated so many pregnant women. I’ve misjudged such a small matter. I’ve wasted my life… Look, it’s just a happy pulse. It’s only been 40 days. Your happy pulse is a little early.”
Ye Qingqiu was in a daze again as she caressed her flat stomach.
Pregnant…
She seemed to have lost her senses.
Why… did everything have to happen today…
Children…
The old lady had seen too many reactions when she heard that she was pregnant.
Ye Qingqiu’s appearance was not unfamiliar to her.
He chuckled and patted her shoulder. “Silly child, go and tell your family. If they don’t believe me, get them to accompany you for a detailed checkup… But they must be pregnant! Here, this is for you. Coincidentally, my naughty grandson bought it and wanted to trick me. He made me jealous… and gave me so much at once…”
As the old lady spoke, she took out a handful of sweets from her pocket and handed them to Ye Qingqiu.
Ye Qingqiu walked to the sink in a daze and rinsed her mouth.
Mechanically, she unwrapped a candy and placed it in her mouth.
It was sour.
She didn’t like it at first, but now… she felt that it was even more delicious than her favorite porridge.

She didn’t intend to rest. She went upstairs to the ward and found an apple from the fruit platter. She peeled it clumsily and ate it one bite at a time. Then, she lay on the bed with her hand on her abdomen. She curled up and closed her eyes.
Half an hour later, she returned to the emergency room.
Ye Ze had yet to come out.
Uncle Ye sat there with his head lowered. Ye Qingqiu walked silently and happened to see a drop of water by Uncle Ye’s feet.
Her heart ached and she blinked to hide the sadness in her eyes. Then, she bent down and sat on the seat beside her.
Only then did Uncle Ye notice her. He hurriedly stood up and wiped the tears off his face.
She turned to look at Ye Qingqiu. She didn’t look at him and looked up at the time in the emergency room.
Uncle Ye was glad that Ye Qingqiu didn’t see him just now. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, “She’s not out yet. Why don’t you rest more?”
“I slept for half an hour and ate an apple.”
The better she treated herself, the more these people would repay her.
Other than that, she didn’t know what else she could do.
Uncle Ye smiled happily. “It’s better to sleep a little longer.”
Ye Qingqiu couldn’t smile, but the corners of her lips curled up.
“When Brother Ye Ze comes out, I’ll definitely sleep longer than him.”
Ye Bo sighed. “As long as you’ve slept enough.”
Ye Qingqiu didn’t say anything. She took out a candy from her pocket and popped it into her mouth.
*
They waited from afternoon to evening and from evening to night.
A full eight hours.
The red light outside the emergency room was still on.
The nurses went in and out, and the doctors went in one after another.
As time passed, the despair in Ye Qingqiu’s heart increased.
As for Uncle Ye, his suppressed emotions were also on the verge of collapse.
*
Perhaps Ye Corporation’s situation was indeed very chaotic. Li Tingshen only rushed to the hospital at eight.
Ye Qingqiu was no different from a living corpse.
Uncle Ye couldn’t care less about her emotions. He sat there with a pale face, his hands trembling violently.
The door of the emergency room opened and closed as the doctors and nurses rushed back and forth. It was obvious that the surgery was at its most dangerous stage.
Ye Qingqiu’s mind was blank as she sat there motionlessly. The silence was terrifying.
Xiao Chu was also shocked by the scene in front of her. Her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
If Ye Ze really… didn’t survive, what would happen?
Just as he was feeling uneasy, the lights outside the emergency room dimmed.
…
The corridor was dead silent.
Uncle Ye stood up slowly, but his legs gave way and he fell to the ground. Xiao Chu hurried over to help him up.
The door to the emergency room opened and a few doctors appeared.
Uncle Ye staggered over. “Doctor… how’s my son…”
Ye Qingqiu clenched her fists tightly and slowly turned her gaze to the doctor standing at the door.
Then, she watched as the doctor took off his mask and shook his head regretfully. “Sorry, we tried our best…”
“Boom—”
Ye Qingqiu suddenly felt as if something had exploded in her head. Her body swayed and she almost fainted.
Li Tingshen’s face darkened and he strode over to hug her tightly.
“Qingqiu!”
The doctor continued, “The impact of the explosion was too strong. Most of his internal organs have ruptured… He has 48 hours at most. You can spend more time with him…”
Uncle Ye staggered a few steps and was supported by Xiao Chu with all her might.
“No… no, I don’t want, I don’t want… Brother Ye Ze… I don’t want…”
In Li Tingshen’s arms, Ye Qingqiu opened her empty eyes and shook her head.
His voice wasn’t loud, but Li Tingshen felt like his guts were about to split.
“Qingqiu, pull yourself together!”
At this moment, Ye Ze was pushed out. Ye Qingqiu turned around from Li Tingshen’s embrace and looked at the silent man lying on the hospital bed with tubes all over his body. She struggled to pounce on him.
“Brother Ye Ze… Don’t… Promise me that you’ll always be by my side… I’m afraid. I’m afraid alone, Brother Ye Ze… Don’t abandon me…”
“You haven’t worn the gown I gave you to attend my wedding… You haven’t seen me in the wedding gown… You said you would protect me for the rest of my life… Brother Ye Ze… Please don’t leave me… I’m afraid… Please…”
When Xiao Chu saw this scene, her eyes couldn’t help but turn red.
Li Tingshen hugged Ye Qingqiu tightly, his heart filled with unprecedented fear.
“Qingqiu, I’ll be there. I’m at…”
“Get lost!!!”
Ye Qingqiu watched as Ye Ze was pushed away. She turned around and slapped Li Tingshen.
Xiao Chu was shocked. “Madam!”
She turned her head to look at him in a sorry state. Tears covered her face and her eyes were filled with hatred. Every word she said seemed to have been cut by a knife.
There was no sharpness, no madness.
She seemed to come to a sudden realization. She suppressed all her emotions and looked at him with a tense voice.
“So what if you’re here? What can you do? Can you save him? If not, get lost!”
Li Tingshen’s cold face turned red instantly. He watched as she suppressed the anger that had just erupted and stared at him coldly with extreme sorrow.
He was surprised by Ye Qingqiu’s feelings for Ye Ze.
There was actually such deep emotions hidden in their ordinary and insipid interactions.
“So…” When he spoke again, his voice was hoarse. “What you mean is that if Ye Ze is really dead, you don’t want me anymore?”
Ye Qingqiu clenched her fists tightly, her fingertips hurting.
“Yes! If Brother Ye Ze dies, I don’t want you anymore!”
…
The surrounding air seemed to have been sucked dry.
Li Tingshen stared at her face, his dark eyes as dark as the night sky.
Xiao Chu felt suffocated by the side. Her chest felt like it was about to be squeezed by an external force.
No one knew what Li Tingshen was thinking.
Did he want to strangle this woman to death or did he want to cut ties with her?
But no matter what, Ye Qingqiu didn’t want to waste any more time with this man.
He couldn’t kill her, at least not now.
It didn’t matter to her if she wanted to cut ties.
She struggled out of his embrace and turned to leave coldly.
However, she was pulled back by a strong force.
Li Tingshen raised her hand above her head and his dark eyes locked onto hers.
His voice was extremely hoarse. He looked at her for a long time before saying slowly,
“…Ye Qingqiu, I’ll ask you again. You’d better think carefully before answering me. The doctor has already sentenced him to death. Are you sure you want to sentence us to death?”
Ye Qingqiu’s heart tightened and the pain in her eyes spread.
She had already given him an answer once, but this time, the words were stuck in her throat and she couldn’t make a sound.
If he really said it, it would be over between him and Li Tingshen.
However, if Ye Ze was really dead, could the two of them really pretend that nothing had happened and they were still together?
‘No, I won’t.’
“I’d rather not have Brother Ye Ze’s wedding. So… Yes, that’s right, Li Tingshen. Unless Brother Ye Ze can survive… If he doesn’t breathe one day, I’ll divorce you.”
