In the VIP room, only Su Qi and Huo Tingyun remained.
Su Qi felt suffocated being in the same room with this man.
"I'll go pour Miss Xu some tea. Trying on wedding dresses can be dehydrating."
Su Qi took a step towards the door.
Just as she was about to step out of the room,
*Click.*
A pair of hands reached from behind and pushed.
The door closed with a thud.
Another hand locked the VIP room door from the inside.
"Huo Tingyun!" What are you trying to do now!
Su Qi couldn't understand how this man could placate his delicate wife while simultaneously taking his anger out on her.
Didn't he find it disgusting?
A wave of nausea suddenly rose in her throat. Su Qi covered her mouth, her face extremely pale, about to vomit.
"Xu Linchuan said you aren't pregnant. It seems that's debatable?"
Huo Tingyun gripped Su Qi's shoulders, forcing her to turn around. Seeing Su Qi's complexion, he let out a strange laugh.
"Yes, if I were truly pregnant, and you laid hands on a pregnant woman, you'd be worse than a beast!"
Su Qi extended her hands, trying to push Huo Tingyun away.
Huo Tingyun grabbed her wrists and pinned them against the door behind her.
The man raised an eyebrow, his thin, pale lips curling into a devilish arc, "What, so eager for me to pin you against the wall? Please!
Su Qi's cheeks flushed with anger, "Have you no shame!"
This man was acting too strangely.
"No shame, are you giving it to me?"
Huo Tingyun lowered his gaze and gently nibbled on Su Qi's cheek.
He had a sharp canine tooth, and his nibbling on her skin caused a slight sting.
Su Qi cried out in pain, furious and bristling, "Huo Tingyun, I want a divorce, immediately!"
She couldn't stand this man anymore.
He kissed Xu Linyun and then kissed her. He didn't find it dirty, but she did!
"Oh? Divorce?"
A spark flashed in the man's eyes.
He hadn't mentioned divorce.
How dare this woman?
He increased the pressure of his teeth.
Su Qi's tears welled up from the pain. She struggled with all her might, "You beastly thing!"
"Mmm, I'm only beastly towards you."
To her surprise, the man was quite candid.
Su Qi was so angry she almost laughed. She refused to be manhandled like this, raising her leg to make a move.
But the man seemed to have anticipated it, clamping her legs and controlling her hands with one arm.
In Huo Tingyun's hands, Su Qi was like a little rabbit.
She had no room to move.
"Mr. Huo, aren't you afraid that Xu Linyun will see this later? How will you appease your delicate wife..."
"Jealous?"
"We're getting a divorce, Mr. Huo. Don't be so childish."
Su Qi's cold words escaped her lips.
The fire in Huo Tingyun's eyes was instantly extinguished by this sentence.
It was the first time he had heard Su Qi speak with such a detached tone.
She had pretended to be strong before, but such cold words had never come from her mouth.
In an instant, his heart gave a sharp pang.
It felt as if it had been torn into pieces by a pair of hands.
The strength in his hands loosened.
Su Qi seized the opportunity to break free, gasping for breath. Unwilling to let it go, Su Qi landed a hard punch on Huo Tingyun's chest.
"Stay away from me. If you want to break it off, do it cleanly."
With that, Su Qi slammed the door and left.
She was so decisive, leaving no room for hesitation.
The man's tall, strong figure swayed violently twice.
As if he might collapse at any moment.
In the past, she was a girl who would blush whenever she saw him.
Even just looking at her would make her nervously pick at her nails.
But when did it come to this, that when she looked at him, there was no longer any light in her eyes.
Everything made him feel inexplicably defeated and annoyed.
When Xu Linyun came out after trying on her wedding dress, she found that Huo Tingyun had already left at some point.
He hadn't even called her.
Xu Linyun, wearing a dazzling wedding dress, emerged like the most beautiful bride in the world, wanting to show herself to the man she loved. But she looked around in confusion, his trace nowhere to be found.
"Where's Tingyun? Why did he leave? He was supposed to see me in my wedding dress. I thought he..."
Xu Linyun's tears began to fall.
As Su Qi approached, Xu Linyun threw herself into her arms.
Her tears instantly soaked Su Qi's clothes.
"Sister Su Qi, does Tingyun still have another woman in his heart? Why does he always look at me as if he's looking at someone else?"
A full three days had passed since the wedding dress fitting.
Xu Linyun hadn't called her again, but Su Qi wasn't in a hurry.
She had learned a lot from being around Huang Ying.
"Brother Su Yan, my work is going very smoothly. I hope Brother Su Yan can also eat on time and live well. Don't worry, I will definitely achieve the dreams that Brother Su Yan couldn't fulfill!"
Even though she knew the man wouldn't reply, Su Qi still sent the message.
She had persisted for four months. Although she didn't know if he had read them, she sent him a message every day, like writing a diary.
After that incident, Su Qi returned to the Su family once, only to be driven out with harsh words by her adoptive parents.
Since that incident, she had never seen Su Yan again.
She could only send messages to Brother Su Yan.
As the message sent successfully, Su Qi was about to put down her phone when she suddenly received a call from the hospital.
Upon hearing what the doctor on the other end said, Su Qi was stunned. She didn't even have time to ask Huang Ying for leave, and rushed out.
Flagging down a taxi and urging the driver repeatedly, she finally arrived at the hospital.
The emergency room door was closed.
The light was still on.
He was still being resuscitated.
"How could this happen? The doctor clearly said that the old man's condition had improved a lot. How did he suddenly become like this..."
Qin Xue and a few other members of the Huo family were already waiting outside the emergency room.
Qin Xue leaned into the embrace of an aunt, weeping sadly.
Su Qi slowed her steps, frowning at the emergency room, her heart filled with anxiety.
But no matter how anxious she was, she could only wait.
Footsteps sounded from behind.
"Tingyun, you're finally here. Your father..."
Upon seeing her son arrive, Qin Xue seemed to have found her anchor. She didn't bother with the support of others and stood up from her chair, walking towards Huo Tingyun.
Passing by Su Qi, Huo Tingyun paused for a moment before continuing forward.
Standing before the tall and imposing Huo Tingyun, Qin Xue appeared very frail and stooped.
Qin Xue had been consumed with worry for Huo Qingrang's condition.
The old man had passed away several months ago, which had been a great blow to Huo Qingrang.
His condition had worsened significantly, and it had taken months of careful management to stabilize him.
Unexpectedly, today he had...
"I'll have Linchuan come over. With Linchuan here, Dad will definitely be alright."
The last time Huo Qingrang was critically ill, it was Xu Linchuan who had pulled him back from the brink of death.
Huo Tingyun dialed Xu Linchuan's number.
The two hospitals were not far apart.
Xu Linchuan arrived quickly.
It was the first time Su Qi had seen Xu Linchuan out of his surgical scrubs.
