Chapter 1142: A Face Full of Sincerity

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Now, all they could do was wait.

They would have to wait for an ending that would determine if he would live or die.

As time was required for the medicine to take effect, Tang Yuansi fell into a deep sleep after the medicine was injected into his body.

There was complete silence inside the ward. No one left, but no one said anything either.

Everyone was waiting; they were afraid that once they turned their backs, they would never get to see Tang Yuansi’s last breathing moment ever again.

Shangxin sat at the bedside and holding onto Tang Yuansi’s hand the entire time.

Nian Xiaomu had repeatedly persuaded her to rest, but she refused to do so. As such, she could only wait for the result together with her.

Time ticked by.

Everyone was very nervous, all except for Qi Yan, who was not related to Tang Yuansi in any way. With a nonchalant expression, he remained standing beside Tan Bengbeng.

For one moment, he complained that he was feeling a little giddy and wanted her to touch his forehead. The next moment, he felt a suffocating feeling in his chest and wanted her to listen to his heartbeat…

As Tan Bengbeng stared at the head, that was resting against her shoulder, she wanted so badly to give him a tight slap and knock him off so that he could calm the hell down!

However, she could not do it now.

Tang Yuansi’s life was hanging on a thread. If anything bad happened to Qi Yan, or if his temper was somehow triggered, Tang Yuansi might just lose his life.

She could only endure it. With gritted teeth, she stared at Qi Yan, who had currently stopped his nonsense and even brought a cup of warm water to her.

“You are not looking good, drink more water. I have some pills to protect… Some pills to calm the nerves, you can pop one in first.”

Qi Yan took a bottle from his medicine box and passed a pill to Tan Bengbeng.

Tan Bengbeng took a glance at the pill on his palm and frowned reluctantly.

“I am fine, I don’t need to take any medicine… Ah!”

Before she could finish speaking, Qi Yan had already popped the pill into her mouth.

Tan Bengbeng nearly choked and subconsciously swallowed the pill.

Just as she was about to flare up, Qi Yan had already picked up the cup of water and started to soothe her in a gentle tone.

“My hands trembled and I accidentally dropped it into your mouth. But anyway, my medicine is all good stuff and taking one pill won’t hurt. I have already apologized, do you want to have a sip of water to cool yourself down?”

“…”

Tan Bengbeng stared at him for a few seconds before realizing that her throat was indeed feeling a little dry.

She took the cup of water from him and drank a sip.

After she was certain that she had swallowed the medicine and was about to place the cup back onto the table, Qi Yan had already taken the initiative to retrieve the cup from her hand and took a sip of water at the same exact spot which her lips had made contact with.

Tan Bengbeng did not apply lipstick, and she could not see her lip stain on the cup.

However, she had a feeling that he was sipping on the exact same spot where her lips had made contact with earlier on.

She felt her face heating up.

She wanted to say something, but she was afraid that Qi Yan’s reply would make her even more embarrassed.

She hesitated and decided to pretend that she had not seen anything.

However, Qi Yan merely stopped his nonsense for less than two seconds before he leaned in toward her again and asked, “You did not eat anything today, are you feeling hungry? You must eat more since you are not feeling well, I can tell my men to get you some food if you are hungry. What do you like to eat…”

“I’m not hungry.”

Roles were switched this time around, as Tan Bengbeng reached out to cover his mouth and replied with all seriousness.

Everyone was worried about Tang Yuansi and none of them had the mood to eat anything.

Qi Yan pulled her hand and said, “You must still eat a little even if you are not hungry. If you still insist on not eating, I will go and ask Nian Xiaomu if she wants to eat. If she eats, I believe you will follow suit and have a bit of food, eh?”

As Qi Yan spoke, he acted as though he was really about to approach Nian Xiaomu and ask her about it.

Tan Bengbeng pulled him back hurriedly.

“Qi Yan, stop your nonsense!”

“I am being very serious, I am not fooling around.” Qi Yan met her gaze and replied with a sincere look.

He had never been more serious in his entire life other than this very moment.

Tan Bengbeng was unaware that she was pregnant and even displayed signs of a threatened miscarriage. However, Qi Yan knew all of her symptoms simply with that brief touch earlier on.
