Li Qing stood at the street entrance behind Gangbei hospital and looked inside. After pondering for a moment, he walked towards the lonely car under the street lamp.

When the door opened, Xie Hongbo got out of the car, stood by the roadside and lit a cigarette.

Li Qing stood face to face with Xie Hongbo more than ten meters away from the car. The light cast two distorted shadows on the ground.

"Director Zhong is in the car." Xie Hongbo gently vomited a smoke ring, nodded to Li Qing, then turned around and walked slowly along the sidewalk, leaving him a lonely figure.

Li Qing took a deep breath, quickly approached the car, stretched out his fingers and tapped on the window for a few times.

The window was pulled down, revealing Zhong Ruoxi's beautiful quiet side face: "get on the bus."

Li Qing half leaned against the side of the car, one arm against the roof, slightly lowered his head and looked at Zhong Ruoxi: "the car is too stuffy to breathe. Come out and let's walk."

Zhong Ruoxi's eyelashes trembled slightly, sat there without saying a word and was silent.

"Isn't it convenient?" Li Qing nodded and sighed softly, "OK."

After that, he left the door and turned around to get on the other side. Just after turning the back of the car, the door on Zhong Ruoxi's side suddenly opened.

"Since it's too stewed, let's go." Zhong Ruoxi said softly, "you're not afraid of trouble. What am I afraid of?"

A faint smile appeared on Li Qing's cheek and turned back. The two men walked slowly along the dim sidewalk.

Leaning over her head, she quietly stared at Zhong Ruoxi's side face. Li Qing suddenly stretched out her hand to lift the broken hair on her ear, smiled and said, "did you cut your hair? I remember it was much longer before."

"It's hard for you to remember." Zhong Ruoxi said softly. She seemed to be very difficult to express her feelings, so that no matter what she said, it showed a cold meaning.

"It's more beautiful and suitable for you," Li Qing said with her head tilted.

Zhong Ruoxi suddenly stopped, and her delicate body leaned gently against a lamp post and stopped walking.

Li Qing frowned slightly: "sorry, I forgot. Is the wound on your leg still ok?"

"I haven't delayed my daily walking for a long time, but I haven't been able to adapt to high-intensity sports." Zhong Ruoxi whispered, "it has nothing to do with leg injury. I just don't want to go."

"Do you feel a little bored?" Li Qing asked. "I'm not very good at saying goodbye, especially to you, so... I may disappoint you a little today."

"I'm not good at these, and I don't expect much from you." Zhong Ruoxi gently sipped her mouth, "Li Qing, after I leave, you should be more careful. My successor is Zhou Wenhao. He used to work in Yanjing Judicial Bureau. It's different from my system. He should take some drastic measures. Wood shows in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Your Li family has been gaining too much momentum recently. Don't be regarded as a sharpener."

"I understand." Li Qing nodded, "what about you? Where are you going?"

"I should... Be promoted." Zhong Ruoxi smiled mockingly. "I have been promoted to the first rank and transferred back to Yanjing military headquarters. The specific position is highly confidential and inconvenient to disclose."

"Yes."

Zhong Ruoxi quietly looked at Li Qing, and the corners of his lips rose slightly: "you don't have to worry too much. I promised you before that I would unconditionally protect you. Even if I left Lingang, they would sell me face and wouldn't do too much. But appropriate pressure must be indispensable. You should be mentally prepared and don't overreact. It won't end well at that time."

Li Qing replied, "I know that. Don't worry. I won't cause you trouble."

"I'd rather you bother me more." as soon as she said it, Zhong Ruoxi consciously made a slip of tongue and gently turned her back to Li Qing, "I would also like to remind you not to get too close to the Xie family. Everyone knows the situation near Hong Kong, and the remaining three families can't move at all. But that doesn't mean you are safe. On the contrary, as a family decision-maker, you are bound to face a more dangerous situation."

Zhong Ruoxi's words are not clear, but Li Qing's mind has instantly understood her meaning. The three families can't shake the foundation, but can the owners of the three families move? I'm afraid that controlling the three families by restraining the owners is an important measure to maintain port stability in the future.

"I will pay attention." Li Qing knows that Zhong Ruoxi's every word tonight is worth keeping in mind.

"Don't forget the past and be the teacher of the future. You should learn a lesson from our affairs and don't get too close to the military and political aspects. The Qi family is in too deep now, but they don't know that there will be problems sooner or later." Zhong Ruoxi turned around and whispered, "if one day, you Li family won't eat too ugly."

"It's better not to eat anything with a fishy smell. It's easy to spoil your stomach."

"It's best for you to understand this truth. I'm relieved." Zhong Ruoxi pursed her small mouth and kept silent for a while again. "I have nothing else to tell. By the way, I heard that you were a father tonight. Congratulations."

"Thank you."

"That's it. I have to hurry and go first." Zhong Ruoxi smiled and turned to the car.

Li Qing followed closely for two steps and suddenly shouted, "Ruoxi!"

Zhong Ruoxi stopped at his feet and didn't look back: "do you have anything else to say to me?"

Without response, Zhong Ruoxi felt the sound of footsteps approaching her slowly. After a moment, her powerful arm slowly surrounded her slender waist and held her tightly in her arms.

"I can't see you off," Li Qing whispered. "Be careful all the way. I hope you have a chance to see you again."

Both of them could feel each other's restraint. Zhong Ruoxi broke away from Li Qing's arms, walked to the car, opened the door and got on the car.

Xie Hongbo in the distance quickly extinguished his cigarette and ran back all the way.

"Let's go." Xie Hongbo took a deep look at Li Qing and got into the car.

Li Qing stared at Zhong Ruoxi's beautiful side face through the window.

Zhong Ruoxi tilted her head and touched Li Qing's eyes. Immediately, she quickly lowered her head and pulled up the window. Li Qing couldn't see anything.

The car started, walked slowly in front of Li Qing, and finally disappeared in sight.

Li Qing stared at the end of the empty street and stood by the roadside for a long time. Finally, he looked up, sighed and turned away.

"I don't know... Will I have a chance to meet again in the future..."

Li Qing walked back along the original road with heavy steps. He didn't wake up until he opened the door and saw Lin Qiuqiu and the baby, but he couldn't remember how he got back to the hospital, how he went upstairs, and how he came to the ward door. Li Qing felt that his whole heart was completely hollowed out at the moment when Zhong Ruoxi left.

"There are words on your face." Lin Qiuqiu didn't sleep, and his long and narrow beautiful eyes seemed to twinkle with a faint luster.

Li Qing touched his cheek with an embarrassed face: "I don't want you to have more rest."

"Disappointed if lost." Lin Qiuqiu stretched out a jade hand and suddenly sighed on Li Qing's cheek in the space, "Alas, it seems that you really don't want her."

Li Qing's voice was very low: "if I say that I have feelings for Zhong Ruoxi, will you... Be angry?"

Lin Qiuqiu didn't answer Li Qing's question positively. Instead, he stared at the sleeping baby around him and whispered, "people who can't stay, no matter how you miss love, are a deep-rooted torture, and can't bring you any sweetness."

"It is because there are too many reluctant to give up, so we should cherish our eyes." Li Qing went to the bed and sat down, gently holding Lin Qiuqiu's jade hand, "Qiuqiu, thank you for staying with me."

Lin Qiuqiu came back and asked in a low voice, "what did she explain?"

Li qinglue pondered, and then straightened his back: "there are some warnings that let me learn to hide Feng. Don't get too close to the military and politics, and don't get too close to the Xie family. By the way, there's the last point. If Xi thinks the Qi family will be in trouble, she reminds me not to take advantage of the fire."

"She said that the newly appointed director of the supervision department was transferred from Yanjing Judicial Bureau. His name is Zhou Wenhao. His means may be too extreme. In addition, there is nothing else."

Lin Qiuqiu's beautiful eyes blinked and couldn't help laughing: "what else do you want? It seems that she has moved her mind to you. Every sentence is golden and good advice, and even the trend of connecting to the port has been pointed out to you."

Li Qing looked puzzled: "what do you mean..."

"In the coming storm, the Li family is just a side dish."

Li Qing's pupils suddenly shrunk: "the main course is..."

"Qijia." Lin Qiuqiu faintly spit out these two words

Zhong Ruoxi was transferred from the port supervision office. The news topped the front page headlines of major newspapers in the port the next day. The incident was so sudden that it immediately attracted discussion in the streets. Li Qingxi, the owner of the Li family, who was expected to occupy the peak of public opinion for a time, couldn't help being eclipsed by his son.

But this is what Li Qingle thought. In this special period, he tried his best to keep a low profile. However, this low-key is also relative to the past.

After giving birth, Lin Qiuqiu stayed in Gangbei hospital for two days and returned to Li's residence in the early morning of the third day. From that day on, the guests who congratulated Li Qing on his son came one after another. Most of Li Qing didn't come forward and let Fang Yong handle it on his behalf.

While concentrating on taking care of the baby, Li Qing's focus of life has also shifted to the project of gangbeiwan and the upcoming wedding of the two.

Lin Qiuqiu always feels that giving birth first and then getting married is a bit popular, so she reminds Li Qing to keep everything simple. But this time, Li Qing did not comply. Instead, he called Long Wu to discuss for a while. He was bound to make some big news. He wanted to let people all over the world know what a smart and gentle woman he married.
