Chapter 8

Although Li Yingying has a vicious mouth and likes to be competitive in everything, she is not bad in her heart. Li Yingze knows this sister well, and wants to hear why she suddenly said such words.He is not someone to be messed with, and of course he will spare no effort to defend his own status.

So he asked back: "Threatening my status? Do you think it's that easy?"

"Brother, we can't take it lightly. I used to really feel that Yingqi and Tan Qianqian were very close. Think about it! He hasn't been close to us since he was a child. What reason does he have for being close to Tan Qianqian? But don't forget Well, when Liang Rui first married into our family, her father gave her [-]% of Chengtian Group's shares, isn't Liang Rui's equivalent to Tan Qianqian's? I don't believe that Ying Qi has no other ideas..."

Li Yingze looked at her, as if thinking.

After talking about it like this, it really seems like that, but sometimes the calculations are still missed. There is no interest involved in Li Yingqi and Tan Qianqian's closeness.

Just because, love!
Li Yingying continued: "Now that he has climbed to such a big backer as Mu Shixiong, when the project of your resort was first handed over to him, I was still waiting to see his jokes, thinking that one day He has to turn around and ask you for help, now that he is engaged to Mu Qianhui, all the problems have been solved, even though he is a real younger brother, he may be ambitious, we have to guard against him!"

"I know!" Li Yingze replied, but he still didn't show any panic.

He understands Li Yingying's worries, and he also knows that Yingqi has been unwilling since he was a child, but he hasn't done anything unusual these days, and it even makes him feel that he can live in peace like this forever.

After all, they are brothers, do they really have to be guarded against?
When Li Yingqi came to the restaurant alone, Tan Qianqian had already arrived one step ahead of him.

This kind of situation is very rare between them. In the past, she basically cooked for him at home, and he only liked to eat her cooking, and rarely ate outside.But these days are different, even if they want to see each other, they have to pretend to be normal siblings, and choose a place that won't arouse suspicion.

Li Yingqi sat down opposite her, suppressing the surging waves in her heart, and said lightly: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No!" She pursed her lips and squeezed out a forced smile. When she raised her eyes to look at him, her heart unexpectedly clenched into a ball. He seemed to be a little haggard again. When I looked closely, I realized that the dark circles under his eyes seemed to be worse than last time. It was even heavier when I saw him in his office.Fortunately, he is still young and healthy, so he doesn't look decadent.

Maybe the word decadent is not suitable for him. He commutes to and from work on time every day, and he is dedicated to his get off work, and there is absolutely no trace of self-abandonment. It is because of this that she always thought that he could live a good life after breaking up.

But only by looking at him so closely and seeing the gloomy look in his eyes, she knew that he was actually not good!

After ordering food, the two were relatively speechless, as if they were both tasteless.

"Why did you suddenly think of asking me for dinner today?" Li Yingqi asked first.

Tan Qianqian was stunned for a moment, it turned out that they had reached the point where they needed a reason even for a meal!

After thinking for a while, she could only shrug and say, "It's okay, just have a meal."

Li Yingqi's eyes dimmed a bit again, God knows how much he looked forward to hearing her take the initiative to ask him to have dinner together, it turned out that it was nothing but nothing.

He stopped talking, and it took her a long time to think of another new topic: "Last night...what's the matter with you?"

Li Yingqi was stunned for a moment, looked at her, and answered without thinking: "It's okay!"

Tan Qianqian knew that he didn't want to talk about it. It seemed that it was really inconvenient for her to ask about the matter between the two of them, so she kept her mouth shut.Li Yingqi coughed and sneezed from time to time, and it was obvious that he had a serious cold. Tan Qianqian handed him a napkin, and he took it, then stood up and said, "Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom first."

Tan Qianqian nodded, some words of concern came to her lips, but she couldn't say them.Stirring the food on the plate with a lot of thoughts, she didn't know how long it had passed, but it seemed that it had far exceeded the time she expected, but Li Yingqi still hadn't come back.

Did he just leave?

impossible!He is definitely not the kind of person who doesn't even say hello.The more she thought about it, the less at ease she felt, and finally she carried her bag and went to the bathroom to find it.

In the dark corridor, she saw him from a distance. His tall and straight figure was standing outside the bathroom, smoking a cigarette with his head down. Although she couldn't see his expression clearly, she could imagine that he was standing there How lonely and desolate he is in the smog.Her heart ached so unexpectedly, and her steps towards him became heavier and heavier.

Hearing the footsteps, Li Yingqi looked up naturally, and when he saw her, he took one last puff of his cigarette, then immediately extinguished the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can.

"When did you start smoking?" Tan Qianqian approached him and asked the first sentence.

He didn't look at her, but he seemed to sigh, and replied, "You should know."

She should know, after all, they haven't seen him smoking a cigarette in such a long time together, so it goes without saying that it was after breaking up.

After breaking up...

Just thinking about these four words makes me feel extremely melancholy.

It's better not to continue this topic, Tan Qianqian stopped talking, but directly took out a small plastic bag from her bag, and handed it to him.

Li Yingqi raised his eyebrows and looked at him, instead of taking it immediately, he asked first, "What?"

She explained: "Cold medicine, there are instructions inside, you must remember to take it, if you have a fever, you will be in trouble."

Perhaps, this is the ultimate purpose of her asking him to have dinner together today. Even if she knows that it is not her turn to worry about all this now, she still has to care about him as long as it is unnecessary.

Li Yingqi looked at the medicine in her hand for a long time, only feeling sore in his heart, stretched out his hand, trembling, but still took her heart.Tan Qianqian thought that he would not want to speak, but he kept his head down, but his voice was hoarse, and he asked in a low voice: "Qianqian, have you ever regretted it?"

Do you regret it?

She froze there, unable to react for a moment.

regret what?Regret meeting him?Regret being together?Or do you regret breaking up in the end?
She didn't know what kind of question he was asking, and even if she knew, she didn't know how to answer it.

Li Yingqi didn't seem to expect a clear answer from her, and continued to ask: "Did you never believe that we would have a future from the very beginning? Did you never believe my promise to you?"

His words seemed to reach her heart, but she never forgot his promise to her.

Two years ago, Li Yingqi, who was only 21 years old and still in his junior year, won a two-year postgraduate place at Harvard Business School. When we parted at the airport, he once held her hand and put a stamp on his mouth. Kiss, earnestly promised: "I will marry you when I come back, believe me, I will give you a future!"

Tan Qianqian still remembers the shock and touch in her heart until now. She didn't think he was young and frivolous, but she knew that such a heavy commitment was too extravagant for them, so she just smiled at him and said : "I remember someone who is not yet of legal marriage age in China! Children, don't think about it, as the future successor of the country, you should study hard now, and come back to serve the motherland in the future!"

Li Yingqi smiled lonely, but there was still an unshakable determination in that smile.

Tan Qianqian didn't know if he could understand, it wasn't that she didn't believe it, she just knew how difficult this road would be, so she was afraid that the end result of her expectations would be disappointment, and she was also afraid that his young shoulders would be under excessive pressure.

But, at this moment, there is no need to say anything, right?Only now did she truly understand how helpless and desperate Manzhen was when she said "Shijun, we can't go back..." at the end of "Half Life"!
Her silence from the beginning to the end finally exhausted all of Li Yingqi's patience. He sighed silently, and said calmly: "I know you don't believe it, but now...even I don't believe it myself! I still have something to do. Let's go first, thank you for the medicine this time! If you only care about me as a sister, next time... you don't have to!"

After he finished speaking, he resolutely turned around in front of her. His lonely figure became more and more lonely in the narrow corridor. At this moment, he was like a drowning person who gave up struggling in despair and allowed himself to be submerged.Tan Qianqian's heart suddenly tugged, feeling inexplicably reluctant.

"Yingqi..." The two words stuck on the tip of her heart finally blurted out unconsciously, and the people in front of her stopped immediately, waiting for her next words.

"Since you are not happy, why do you still do this?"

Li Yingqi turned around and asked in a blunt tone: "Then what do you think I should do? Shouldn't be with Mu Qianhui? Should I cry bitterly and beg you to give me some love?"

There was a cool irony in his words, Tan Qianqian could only feel a shudder all over, a chill came from the bottom of her heart, Li Yingqi like this made her feel very strange, and she couldn't bear his misunderstanding , anxiously explained: "No...it's not like this..."

"How is that?"

Tan Qianqian didn't expect her anger to rise suddenly just after she said a word, it was the first time she saw Li Yingqi's aggressive look, and asked in front of her: "Have you ever given me even a little bit of hope? ?I, Li Yingqi, am not a saint. I can't stop people talking, I can't stop others from gossiping, but you tell me you care...Since you said you care about me, what else can I do? If you didn't go to the hospital that time, I really I don’t know why you never thought about being with me forever, you are right, the relationship between us is as simple as a love between a man and a woman, otherwise how could you be so ruthless to kill our child without telling me ?!"

At that moment, Tan Qianqian finally realized what a bolt from the blue is.

It turned out that he still knew after all!
Even if everyone believed that Li Yingqi's engagement with Mu Qianhui was just looking for a stepping stone that could help him succeed, only she still firmly believed that the man she fell in love with would not be so unbearable!

It turned out that he knew about the child; it turned out that she made him feel disheartened?
Tan Qianqian doesn't quite remember how she watched Li Yingqi walk away from her that day, nor how she got home in the end, but she still remembers that she finally found the painting through rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

That painting has the warmest name in the world, called: Mom, Dad and Me!
This matter actually has to be talked about from a long, long time ago...

At that time, not long after Li Yingqi went to Harvard, she seized the opportunity to visit him in Boston.There is a feeling called "Little Bie is better than a newlywed", which is absolutely true, so they stuck together wantonly for two days and three nights, never even took a step towards the door, and didn't even have a chance to make amends afterwards.

What's more, she just had her period, which is supposed to be a safe period, so she comforted herself with a fluke mentality that no accident would happen.Later, she returned to the country alone, and when the accident happened, she was still caught off guard.

She didn't know if it was the so-called karma. She and Li Yingqi had an abnormal love affair, so God wanted to punish them for their indulgence, so it might not be safe even in the safe period.At that time, she felt as if a pair of black hands were slowly dragging her into the dark abyss, trying to swallow her up, but she was powerless to resist.If she did something wrong, then punish her alone, but the child is innocent.What's more, this is her and Yingqi's child!

Li Yingqi is not yet 22 years old, he is still a big boy, he should spend his youthful years on more meaningful things.She didn't want to see Li Yingqi frowning, she didn't want his face to be filled with melancholy again...

But as time passed day by day, Tan Qianqian knew that paper would never be able to contain fire. The child growing in her stomach would be seen sooner or later. How would she explain it then?How to face the eyes of others?
Maybe she can also be like the heroine in the novel, go away with the child in her arms, bring the child back to find her father after many years, and then say to Li Yingqi: This is your child; then, after going through the wind and rain, you can finally see the rainbow; finally , the family lives happily together!
Thinking of this, Tan Qianqian suddenly smiled, but that smile was full of despair and sadness.

She understands that life likes to peel people's sore spots bloody, and will not allow such a vulgar plot to be staged. She is not that great, she is just an ordinary woman, and she wants to live a normal life.

But why did he fall into this abnormal relationship with Li Yingqi?

Love has the ability to make people willing to hit their heads and bleed all the time.

She fell in love, fell in love, willingly, she had nothing to say.

However, the child is innocent, what identity will he come into this world with?How will he face the eyes of the world in the future?How could he bear that his dad was his mom's younger brother? !

Li Yingqi said that he would marry her. Anyway, they are not real siblings. He said that they would be together forever. She is willing to believe in him, so let her live in a fairy tale woven with sweet words!Although they all know that that day is far away and difficult, at least there is still hope, isn't it?
However, this child is an accident in their lives. Even if she doesn't care about other people's eyes and is willing to be an unmarried mother, can Li Yingqi ignore the child after it is born?Can she avoid being asked about the child's father?

If it is unavoidable, if the incest between siblings is spread and the children are born, then not only will the children not be able to provide a good environment for growth, but it will also ruin Li Yingqi's reputation and ruin his future.He is still young, he should have a brighter and better future.

After careful consideration and endless suffering, Tan Qianqian finally realized the situation in front of her. No matter it was for herself, for the child, or for Yingqi, this child could not stay.

No one can know how much pain she felt when she was lying alone on the cold operating table, when she didn't even have the courage to raise her hand to touch her stomach!

During so many days of pain and convulsions, she always hid in the corner alone holding the drawing board to draw the appearance of her and Li Yingqi, and then imagined the child who had no relationship with them, and drew his outline stroke by stroke Drawn between the two of them, to tell him that he is not alone!

Later, when Li Yingqi came back to China during the Spring Festival, he actually found this painting under his pillow. Tan Qianqian was naturally embarrassed at the time, but Li Yingqi was very happy, because he only regarded it as a kind of her "hope" ", I didn't expect that this was actually a kind of "remembrance" of her.

Tan Qianqian had just had a miscarriage at that time, so she had no choice but to refuse his intimacy that night in the name of her period. When he hugged her into her arms and lay flat on the bed, she suddenly grabbed his hand, and then gently Put it on her lower abdomen, and let the temperature of his palm be transmitted to her heart.

Li Yingqi didn't understand why she made such a sudden move, but he still gently rubbed her belly and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Tan Qianqian nodded, then leaned on his chest without saying a word.

She didn't know whether to say sorry to him or something else, after all, she secretly aborted his child without his permission or even notifying him, and she couldn't be sure if it was right or wrong to do so , I just hope he can understand that she is really for his own good!
After the Spring Festival, Li Yingqi was going back to the United States to continue his studies, so when it was time to part again, Tan Qianqian did not show any reluctance or sadness, but smiled and told him to take good care of himself and study hard.

Li Yingqi hugged her silently, sometimes he really wished that she would not be so considerate?Can you stop leaving him speechless like this?He didn't let her see him off, because he said he didn't want her to watch him leave, and she didn't want to see her sad.So she just stayed at home and watched the door close, separating the two of them.

But only a minute later, Li Yingqi's text message was sent.Tan Qianqian turned on the phone and said a very simple sentence: Look at that painting again.

Tan Qianqian quickly found the painting, but she didn't understand the meaning of Li Yingqi's sudden message?So she ran directly to the door without thinking much, maybe he hasn't gone far, maybe she can still ask him.

However, when she opened the door, she only saw the elevator in front of her close and descend from a distance.

Tan Qianqian was a little depressed and lost, but she stopped at the door and gave up chasing.

So she opened the folded picture in her hand, it was the same picture she had drawn before, the only difference was that there were five more characters on the picture.Although she didn't know when Li Yingqi wrote it, she was sure that it was his handwriting, which was different from the usual forceful and forceful handwriting. He wrote in very naive fonts: Mom, Dad and me!
At that moment, she was the same as now, because of those five words, she suddenly couldn't help covering her mouth, and burst into tears.
