Chapter 1949: Chapter 1948: Hurt Myself
Gu Kai finished speaking and leaned back on the sofa, a touch of laziness blending into his handsome features, exuding an indescribable elegance and grace.
On the other end of the phone, Qiao Siyi was stunned by Gu Kai’s words.
For a full ten seconds, there was silence on the phone.
When Qiao Siyi’s voice came through again, it carried a hint of uncertainty and a trace of suppressed emotion. If not listened to carefully, it would be hard to detect, “Doctor Gu, did you say Miss Bai is about to give birth?”
“Yes, Xiaoxiao is currently in the delivery room.”
“Isn’t it before the due date? Why is it so early?”
Qiao Siyi’s voice came with a hint of concern. She had spent some time in G City and had met Bai Xiaoxiao twice, so she knew when Bai Xiaoxiao’s due date was.
“I don’t know why either. Ah Feng brought Xiaoxiao to the hospital. Right now, he’s in the delivery room with Xiaoxiao.”
Gu Kai’s meaning was already very clear.
If Qiao Siyi was smart, she should know what it meant that Luo Haofeng was in the delivery room with Bai Xiaoxiao.
“Alright, I understand. When Haofeng comes out, tell him to call me.”
Qiao Siyi gave that instruction and then hung up the phone.
In a hospital room in City B, Qiao Siyi stared at her phone in a daze.
In her ears echoed Gu Kai’s words that Luo Haofeng was in the delivery room with Bai Xiaoxiao as she gave birth. Although Qiao Siyi had never given birth, she knew that few men would be by a woman’s side when she gave birth.
Usually, hospitals don’t allow it either.
But Luo Haofeng was with Bai Xiaoxiao, even accompanying her into the delivery room.
This shows how important Bai Xiaoxiao’s position is in Luo Haofeng’s heart. A wave of intense bitterness suddenly surged through Qiao Siyi’s heart.
She remembered that night being trapped in the mountains with Luo Haofeng, how she confessed to him, but Luo Haofeng was unmoved.
He told her that his whole life he would only love Bai Xiaoxiao, and besides Bai Xiaoxiao, he wouldn’t fall in love with anyone else.
And she knew this, yet she couldn’t control her feelings, couldn’t stop her heart from falling for him day by day.
During this period of companionship, Qiao Siyi even dared to hope that one day Luo Haofeng would forget Bai Xiaoxiao and come to like her a little.
“Miss Qiao, the florist has come to deliver flowers for you.”
The voice of the special nursing assistant sounded at the door of the ward as it opened, and following behind her was a florist worker.
Qiao Siyi collected her thoughts and watched the staff bring the flowers over, as the special nursing assistant reached out to receive them.
She said blandly, “Just throw them away.”
“Miss Qiao, aren’t you going to see who sent the flowers?” The special nursing assistant looked at Qiao Siyi in surprise, signing with the pen she received.
.
Qiao Siyi didn’t even look at the flowers in her hand. After signing, she picked up the phone again, “What’s there to look at.”
No need to look, she knew these flowers were from Xiao Yuting.
Since that night Xiao Yuting forcibly kissed her, he sent a bouquet of flowers every day.
Even though he had returned to G City, he still sent flowers to her daily without fail.
The special nursing assistant noticed Qiao Siyi was in a bad mood and asked with concern, “Miss Qiao, are you missing Mr. Luo?”
“I want to go to G City.”
Qiao Siyi was silent for a few seconds and then said stiffly.
The special nursing assistant was startled, “Miss Qiao, you can’t be discharged from the hospital yet, how can you go to G City? There’s something I’m not sure if I should say.”
“What is it?”
Qiao Siyi was extremely frustrated because the special nursing assistant said she couldn’t go to G City, and her expression turned even uglier.
Thinking about what Gu Kai said over the phone, that Luo Haofeng was in the delivery room with Bai Xiaoxiao, her heart felt suffocated with pain.
The special nursing assistant hesitated and said, “Actually, I think Mister Xiao is better to Miss Qiao than Mr. Luo is to Miss Qiao. It’s obvious that he genuinely likes Miss Qiao and cares about Miss Qiao.”
Qiao Siyi’s face showed a trace of confusion as she looked at the special nursing assistant in front of her.
“Is that so?”
She wasn’t angry because she knew this deep down.
Xiao Yuting’s kindness to her was never disguised.
Luo Haofeng had also been good to her during this time, but his goodness was limited to guilt and promises to her.
It had nothing to do with love.
Once again, she felt a sharp pain in her heart.
All she needed was love, after all.
The special nursing assistant saw Qiao Siyi’s bewildered look, her brows tinged with a faint sadness, sighed lightly, and said warmly, “Actually, I was once like Miss Qiao, loving someone deeply and being hurt all over. Later, I married a man who loved me but whom I didn’t love. We’ve been married for over five years now, and I’ve always felt very happy, with him spoiling and caring for me, never having to live in fear.”
Listening to the special nursing assistant talk about her own experiences, Qiao Siyi’s heart felt a mixed array of emotions.
“Miss Qiao, during those few days when your mood was terrible, Mister Xiao always stayed by your side without leaving, and after you fell asleep, he ran to the dean’s office and even called experts to come for a consultation for you…”
“Why are you telling me this?”
Qiao Siyi asked softly.
She didn’t want to be too clear-headed. The clearer she was, the more it hurt.
The special nursing assistant was startled for a moment, placed the flowers in the vase beside her, and said gently, “Seeing you now reminds me of myself back then. I hear that Mr. Luo has a woman he loves deeply, and with such a man, you can’t enter his heart, and you’ll only hurt yourself.”
“Is that so?”
The aura of sadness surrounding Qiao Siyi intensified.
She could never enter his heart, would only end up hurting herself.
Luo Haofeng once said he would only love Bai Xiaoxiao for his entire life and would not fall in love with another woman.
He also said that aside from love, he could fulfill her other needs.
He could be good to her, could take care of her for a lifetime, but he couldn’t give her love. When the woman he loved needed him, he’d fly to her side without hesitation.
Forgetting his promises to her.
“I want to sleep for a while, you don’t need to stay here with me.”
Qiao Siyi said gently.
The special nursing assistant nodded and turned to leave.
Qiao Siyi dialed Xiao Yuting’s number, and after two rings, Xiao Yuting’s cheerful voice came through, “Hello, Siyi.”
“I heard Bai Xiaoxiao is at the hospital giving birth now?”
“Ah, who told you that?”
Xiao Yuting was surprised by what Qiao Siyi said, but a sense of foreboding flashed in his heart.
Could it be his words earlier in the afternoon had upset Xiaoxiao, causing the baby to be born prematurely?
“You didn’t know either? I heard Luo Haofeng is with her at the hospital while she gives birth.”
“Siyi, you must be mistaken. Although Luo Haofeng has been in G City for many days, he hasn’t met Xiaoxiao, and Xiaoxiao still doesn’t know he’s in G City.”
The contradicting Xiao Yuting, instead of taking the opportunity to provoke, actually defended Luo Haofeng.
Just because he could hear the undetectable sadness in Qiao Siyi’s voice, he became anxious and worried and instinctively wanted to comfort her.
