Chapter 2049: Wait For Me
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Time passed minute by minute. Every second was like a sharp knife cutting him.
Suddenly, he reached out to lift the police tape in front of him and walked in. There were green veins on his forehead and his dark expression made people not dare to approach.
“Sir!”
The fireman stopped him anyway.
“The situation is very dangerous now. Please cooperate!”
!!“Get lost!”
The firefighter was stunned for a moment and his ears went deaf for a moment.
“Sir, please calm down.”
The firefighters insisted on not letting him go up.
The walkie-talkie in his pocket suddenly sounded.
“There’s a seriously injured person in Helicopter 1. We need to send him to the hospital immediately. Please replace him quickly.”
Immediately after, another helicopter appeared beside them. Then, everyone saw them moving the woman, who was covered in blood, onto another helicopter.
The helicopter was still there.
The firefighter who stopped Li Tingshen heaved a sigh of relief and said to him, “Don’t worry, the person inside is still alive. Continue the rescue.”
Hearing this, Li Tingshen looked up and clenched his fists, his knuckles almost breaking.
*
Ye Qingqiu’s ears buzzed and she couldn’t hear anything.
She raised her head slowly and looked around. The helicopter was still outside the window, but the world was as silent as if there was no sound.
She felt a heavy weight on her back.
She suddenly thought of the figure who had pounced on her in panic before the explosion.
Her eyes widened in fear. Just as she stood up, a familiar figure landed beside her.
“Brother Ye Ze…”
She hurriedly turned around and hugged Ye Ze.
“Brother Ye Ze… Brother Ye Ze, are you alright?”
She hugged him tightly and cried in panic. She wiped the blood from the corner of Ye Ze’s lips, his nose, the corners of his eyes, and his ears…
“What should I do?… Brother Ye Ze, what should I do? No… I’m scared…”
She cried until her voice was hoarse. She was extremely helpless and pitiful…
Ye Ze could roughly guess what she was saying. Seeing the panic and tears on her face, he understood that she was crying for him.
It seemed to be the first time.
It was a pity that he couldn’t hear her cries, which made his heart ache even more.
He had already succeeded in being the person she trusted and relied on the most.
He reached out to wipe the tears on Ye Qingqiu’s face.
“I’m fine… Don’t be afraid…”
A mouthful of blood gushed out of her mouth.
The fear in Ye Qingqiu’s eyes reached its limit. She subconsciously reached out to cover the blood that flowed out. It was warm on her palm.
“No… Brother Ye Ze… Nothing will happen to you… I’m scared… I’m scared… Don’t leave me…”
She cried like a child, not knowing what to say other than fear.
Ever since she was young, she had been arrogant and willful. It was all because of Ye Ze that she was so fearless.
She had never been afraid.
But she had never been as afraid as she was today.
Even if her father wanted to scare her, Brother Ye Ze wanted to scare him too.
Ye Ze swallowed a few times with difficulty, swallowing the sweetness that surged into his mouth again.
He moved and felt a heart-wrenching pain in his back.
He frowned and swallowed the metallic taste in his mouth.
He pulled Ye Qingqiu up from the ground.
Seeing that Ye Qingqiu was unharmed, he smiled. His white teeth were stained red with blood.
He pulled her to the window and held her arm as she stepped out.
The firefighters on the helicopter quickly reached out to take her.
The moment Ye Qingqiu boarded the plane, she turned around and looked at Ye Ze hopefully.
Ye Ze stood by the window and smiled at her.
Ye Qingqiu was stunned. She rushed to the edge of the helicopter and was pulled back by the firefighters.
“Brother Ye Ze… come up quickly… come up quickly…”
Ye Ze’s face remained unchanged as he smiled in satisfaction.
He pointed upstairs and said something to her.
Ye Qingqiu could hear some voices, but she couldn’t hear what Ye Ze said.
However, she could clearly see the shape of his mouth. It was…
[Wait for me.]
He asked her to wait for him.
Why wait?
She shook her head and continued to cry at him. “Brother Ye Ze, come up quickly… What are you doing?”
Ye Ze stood there and looked at her quietly for a while. Then, he suddenly turned around and walked in.
“Brother Ye Ze!”
Even the crowd on the 15th floor could hear her scream clearly.
Li Tingshen’s eyes widened in pain.
She was still alive!
The firefighter pulled Ye Qingqiu, who had broken down, and reminded her, “Miss, he was pointing upstairs just now. He should be asking you to wait for him upstairs.”
Ye Qingqiu stopped crying and immediately grabbed the fireman’s hand. “Go to the 18th floor! Go to the 18th floor.”
*
The safe passage was almost blocked again, but Ye Ze didn’t seem to think that these were obstacles at all. He expressionlessly pushed open a gap that was barely enough for him to squeeze through.
He climbed up the stairs step by step. The safe passage was shrouded in smoke and heat. It was narrow and the air was blocked. The situation was worse than outside.
He clutched his chest and coughed out blood every few steps.
It took him ten minutes to climb from the 15th to the 18th floor.
The situation on the 18th floor was much better than downstairs. He staggered into Li Tingshen’s office.
The interior was low-key and luxurious. It was solemn and quiet as if nothing had happened.
Looking at the small table beside the big table, she could imagine how bored Ye Qingqiu was usually.
He smiled gently and finally found the door to the lounge. He pushed it open and walked in.
She saw the pure white figure in the middle of the lounge.
He walked over slowly and reached out to touch the most beautiful wedding gown he had ever seen.
However, his hands were stained with blood and dirt. He stopped in mid-air and caressed the outline of the wedding gown, not missing a single inch.
Such a beautiful person should have such a beautiful wedding gown.
He closed his eyes and imagined Ye Qingqiu in her wedding gown. After a while, he chuckled softly.
She was definitely the prettiest.
If only she could see it with her own eyes.
A sweet taste suddenly welled up in his throat. He turned around and coughed out another mouthful of blood.
Knowing that she couldn’t delay any longer, she wiped the blood from the corner of her lips with a trembling hand. Her gaze landed on the bed beside her. She walked over and pulled the bedsheets down forcefully.
Then, she carefully wrapped the wedding gown and carried it out of the office.
Ye Qingqiu saw Ye Ze at the window on the 18th floor.
She cried tears of joy and called out to him innocently, “Brother Ye Ze!”
Ye Ze walked over and handed the wedding gown to the firefighter before boarding the plane under Ye Qingqiu’s hopeful gaze.
Ye Qingqiu heaved a sigh of relief. She sat obediently beside him and grabbed Ye Ze’s arm tightly.
The firefighter looked at the blood on his palm and couldn’t bear to remind Ye Qingqiu. He told the driver to go to the hospital immediately.
The helicopter landed on the roof of the emergency department in five minutes.
The paramedics were already waiting there.
However, Ye Ze didn’t move when the plane landed.
She opened her eyes and turned to look at Ye Qingqiu. “Get off the plane quickly and look for Uncle Ye. Don’t let him worry.”
“I’ll go, but you should get off the plane!”
Ye Ze had yet to recover his hearing and could only stare at Ye Qingqiu’s lips.
“You go first… Go and see Uncle Ye…”
The more Ye Ze acted like this, the more Ye Qingqiu felt that something was amiss.
“Why are you in such a hurry to chase me away? Are you hiding something from me?”
“… No… cough…”
She couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Ye Qingqiu hurriedly reached out to catch it. Her hand caressed his back, but it was sticky.
Stunned, she turned to look at his back, but the seat of the helicopter was already covered in blood.
There was a pool of spring water.
She stared at him blankly for a few seconds. “…Doctor, doctor… Save her… Hurry up and save her…”
“Miss.” Seeing that she was crying again, Ye Ze grabbed her wrist.
Ye Qingqiu looked at him blankly. “Don’t speak… I’m not listening… You need treatment immediately…”
“Miss, I’m sorry.”
Ye Ze interrupted Ye Qingqiu’s incoherent words in a calm and weak voice.
Ye Qingqiu seemed to have calmed down as she looked at him quietly.
Ye Ze smiled and looked down at the wedding gown wrapped in bedsheets.
“I saw the wedding gown with my own eyes. It’s really beautiful. Fortunately, I found it for you…”
Ye Ze paused for a while before the helicopter turned off.
The cabin was very quiet and Ye Ze’s words could be heard clearly.
“… But this should be the last thing I do for you.”
Ye Qingqiu looked at him with a pale face, her pale lips trembling.
“No, you still have a lot to do. I’m the one who has the most things to do. Aren’t you afraid of doing nothing…”
Ye Ze pursed his lips and continued, insisting on saying everything he wanted to say.
“… You told me that if I missed your wedding, apart from the groom, I would be more upset than anyone else. I was very happy…
I promised you that I would always be here. But I’m sorry, I should be breaking my promise this time…”
Ye Qingqiu shook her head and said, “I won’t allow you to go back on your word… You promised me that you wouldn’t miss the most important moment in my life in the future! Don’t you listen to me the most? Haven’t you never disappointed me? I won’t allow you to go back on your word…”
“Miss… I’m already very satisfied to be able to obtain your approval and reliance. Actually, I still want to continue protecting you and protect you for the rest of my life. But this time, I’m also very regretful… The most regretful thing is that I didn’t wear the clothes you personally chose for me and witness you getting married in a wedding gown…”
Ye Qingqiu cried like a child again, just like she had on the helicopter.
“Brother Ye Ze, I don’t want to hear these words… Don’t leave me… Daddy is sick… I’m scared… Without you by my side, I’m scared… I’m scared… Don’t say these words… Please…”
Ye Ze’s Adam’s apple bobbed. His heart ached for Ye Qingqiu, but there was nothing he could do.
He knew his body too well.
He knew that she was really afraid now…
Too many things had happened today…
She had endured too much.
She needed someone by her side now.
But now, he was making her sad.
*
Ye Jianyun was still being resuscitated.
Ye Ze was later sent to the emergency room next door.
Ye Qingqiu was like a walking corpse. The two people who doted on her the most were lying in the emergency room, their lives hanging by a thread.
What happened today?
What day was it?
It would plunge her from heaven to hell.
She knelt in front of Ye Jianyun’s surgery door.
She looked surprisingly calm.
It was eerily calm.
When Li Tingshen rushed to the hospital, he saw Ye Qingqiu.
He walked over and bent down to grab her arm, trying to pull her up.
Ye Qingqiu’s calm voice sounded slowly.
“Don’t touch me…”
Li Tingshen froze.
“The floor is cold.”
Ye Qingqiu said nothing.
“Ye Qingqiu…”
“Please leave immediately.” Ye Qingqiu said in the same calm tone, “Don’t let my father hear your voice… He definitely doesn’t want to see you.”
“If you want me to go back to the Judicial Department to deal with the destruction of the procedures… If my father doesn’t want me to go, I won’t go. If they want to investigate, get them to look for me at the hospital. I’ll cooperate with their investigation.”
“As for the rest, I don’t want to talk to you now.”
Li Tingshen stood up slowly and stared down at her. “I won’t let you stay here alone.”
Ye Qingqiu closed her eyes, not wanting to continue arguing with him. “Then don’t talk to me.”
“Okay.”
Li Tingshen stood rooted to the ground as his gaze landed on her knees.
She pursed her lips but said nothing.
Xiao Chu arrived ten minutes later with a cushion in her hand. She squatted beside Ye Qingqiu.
“Madam… the floor is cold and it’s not good for your health. Put this on… Chairman Ye dotes on you so much, he definitely won’t want you to ruin yourself like this…”
He deliberately mentioned Director Ye because he hoped that Ye Qingqiu wouldn’t reject him.
Ye Qingqiu glanced at the cushion in Xiao Chu’s hand. She recognized it as the cushion in Li Tingshen’s car.
She looked away and ignored him.
Xiao Chu looked up at Li Tingshen and pursed his lips.
Li Tingshen looked at the top of her head calmly. His brows were furrowed and his jawline was tense.
“Miss, are you injured anywhere…”
“Li Tingshen, your assistant is very noisy. Tell him to stay away from me.”
Xiao Chu’s words stopped abruptly.
Later on, Xiao Chu stood up and walked silently to Li Tingshen.
After kneeling for more than an hour, the emergency room finally opened.
Ye Qingqiu hurriedly stood up. Her stiff and numb legs lost strength and she almost fell to the ground again.
She was pulled into someone’s embrace. It was a familiar scent.
She wasn’t in the mood to think about this. She grabbed the doctor’s arm nervously.
“Doctor, how’s my father?”
“She’s saved, but her condition isn’t optimistic. She’s not awake yet. She can visit the ICU for 30 minutes tomorrow afternoon.”
Ye Qingqiu’s eyes flashed and a smile appeared on her pale face.
“Okay.”
Her tensed body relaxed like a puddle of fake water about to fall to the ground, but Li Tingshen hugged her tightly.
She had not slept well the entire night and had yet to drink a drop of water. In less than a day, she had experienced an unprecedented disaster.
Ye Qingqiu felt too tired. Every time she closed her eyes, she had to spend more effort to open them.
She wanted to rest, but reality didn’t allow it.
There was no one to share her burden now. The only Ye Ze was also lying in the emergency room.
No one made her rely on him…
Ye Jianyun was pushed out and the medical staff didn’t allow her to get close. She really didn’t have the strength to walk alone, nor did she reject Li Tingshen. He hugged her and followed her to the entrance of the intensive care unit before shutting her out.
She watched as the doctor in a sterile protective suit silently circled around Ye Jianyun.
Ye Qingqiu leaned against the door and stared inside for a long time before turning around to leave.
“Go and rest.” Li Tingshen’s low and indifferent voice sounded in her ears, his tone firm.
Ye Qingqiu paused and pushed him away weakly.
“I’m not asking you to reject me. If you want me to carry you there, then continue to reject me.”
Ye Qingqiu paused and placed her hand on the wall. Looking at the elevator not far away, her pale lips parted slightly.
“Can you not bother me? I don’t want to waste my energy talking…”
The sound of leather shoes hitting the ground came from behind. Ye Qingqiu suddenly turned around and her calm but cold eyes pinned Li Tingshen’s feet to the ground.
“Brother Ye Ze is still being resuscitated. What right do you think I have… to rest with a clear conscience? It’s not that you think I’m a heartless thing, but I have to be.”
Li Tingshen’s cold eyes suddenly flickered and his fingers curled slightly. His eyebrows twitched and an indescribable uneasiness gradually spread in his heart.
She was resenting him.
‘Yes.’
Every word she said at the company was to blame him.
She blamed him for not believing her and for sending her to the judicial department.
Ye Qingqiu walked slowly towards the elevator.
Li Tingshen went forward to carry her.
Ye Qingqiu’s eyes trembled, but the man carried her and strode towards the elevator.
“I’ll bring you there.”
Ye Qingqiu tensed up but didn’t say anything.
She felt terrible now.
She was physically and mentally exhausted.
She didn’t want to waste any more energy on him.
Li Tingshen had indeed brought her to Ye Ze’s emergency room.
This time, he forcefully placed her on the stool outside and placed his jacket on her shoulders.
The door of the emergency room suddenly opened. Ye Qingqiu looked up and saw the doctor rushing out.
She stood up immediately as if she had been stabbed by something. “Doctor, doctor, how is he…”
“The patient has lost too much blood. Her internal organs…”
A cold gaze suddenly shot over and the doctor stopped talking. “It’s still an emergency. Please move aside.”
Ye Qingqiu took two steps back and leaned into Li Tingshen’s embrace as she watched the doctor leave.
Li Tingshen asked her to sit on the stool while she stood rooted to the ground stubbornly.
The doctor came back with a pile of blood bags. Ye Qingqiu went up to him again, her pale face pleading—
“Doctor… please… please… you have to save him…”
Please…
Li Tingshen’s chest felt as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer, and his eyes darkened.
She had seen many doctors, so she didn’t understand what Ye Qingqiu meant by begging.
“We will definitely try our best to save the patient.”
The door opened and closed.
Silence returned outside the emergency room.
Ye Qingqiu sat on the stool and stared at the time in the emergency room.
Xiao Chu left and returned with Ru Yixuan’s bag.
“Madam… eat something…”
Ye Qingqiu didn’t blink and naturally didn’t respond to them.
Li Tingshen pursed his lips and looked down at his wrist.
It was the watch that Ye Qingqiu had given him.
Lowering his wrist, Xiao Chu held the bag and looked at Li Tingshen awkwardly.
Li Tingshen remained silent.
In less than two minutes, Uncle Ye rushed over.
The anxiety and haggardness made Uncle Ye feel like he had aged a decade.
Ye Qingqiu wanted to retreat, not knowing how to face Uncle Ye.
Ye Ze was his only son.
She stood up and her pale lips parted slightly, trembling with guilt.
“Uncle Ye, I’m sorry…”
“Miss.” Uncle Ye’s eyes were sunken as he interrupted Ye Qingqiu softly.
“You don’t have to apologize. It’s Ye Ze’s mission and responsibility to protect and take care of you. If anything happens to you today, I won’t let him off easily.”
Ye Qingqiu bit her lips tightly, her pale and sickly face filled with heartache and guilt.
What he said on the roof of the hospital today was obviously a farewell.
She didn’t know what was wrong with his body that made him choose to say those words.
He protected her and took care of her, but he didn’t say that he would lose his life for her.
A forced smile appeared on Uncle Ye’s face. “Miss, eat something first and have a good rest. I’ll keep an eye on things here. Ye Ze is still strong. I’ll inform you immediately when he comes out.”
Ye Qingqiu shook her head.
Uncle Ye patted her shoulder lightly. “Ye Ze dotes on you. He can’t bear to see you sad. He will definitely be anxious if you go hungry.”
Ye Qingqiu’s eyes flashed.
Xiao Chu hurried forward and handed the bag to Ye Qingqiu.
“Madam, this is your favorite porridge.”
Ye Qingqiu didn’t reject this time.
She didn’t go anywhere to eat. She just sat on the stool and ate the takeaway box.
Li Tingshen sat beside her and watched her finish the porridge before putting down his spoon.
He frowned. “Finish eating.”
Ye Qingqiu placed the takeaway box on the stool beside her.
The time Li Tingshen and Ye Qingqiu spent together was minimal.
Most of the time, it was at the company. Most of the time, Madam would be beside CEO Li’s desk, looking bored. Then, she would bicker with CEO Li and throw a tantrum. However, most of the time, she wouldn’t let herself be wronged. She would eat, drink, play, and sleep well. No matter how unhappy she was, she would give CEO Li face outside.
However, it would only take half a day at most. CEO Li would have a way to coax her and the two of them could reconcile.
But now, her attitude towards CEO Li was extremely cold and she had embarrassed him time and time again.
She refused to eat or drink. She rejected President Li’s concern and hurt herself and others.
He felt that CEO Li had used up all his patience today.
No matter what he said, Madam seemed to want to refute him.
Li Tingshen sat at the side. The edge of his open suit was placed on the stool. The corner of Ye Qingqiu’s shirt was deliberately avoided.
The more detailed it was, the more terrifying it was.
Li Tingshen looked at her solemnly. “Are you going to go against everything I say today?”
Ye Qingqiu forced herself to finish half of the porridge.
She felt uncomfortable all over and Li Tingshen didn’t respond to her at all.
Seeing this, Uncle Ye said, “Miss, I’ve gotten someone to open a VIP ward for you. Go there and rest first. I’ll inform you immediately when Ye Ze comes out.”
Ye Qingqiu finally said, “I’ll guard here.”
Uncle Ye sighed and turned to look at Li Tingshen. “Young Master Li, the Ye Corporation needs your help now. I’ll take care of Eldest Miss here. The Ye Corporation… still needs you.”
Ye Qingqiu’s eyes flashed and her hands curled up slightly.
Ye Corporation…
Li Tingshen sat beside her and could only see her side profile.
After being here for so long, all he could see was her side profile.
He was certain that if he continued to stay here, this woman would not look at him again. She would also not eat or drink and would humiliate herself in front of him like a zombie.
After looking at her quietly for a while, he stood up and nodded at Uncle Ye. “Take good care of her.”
Uncle Ye nodded in agreement.
Seeing Xiao Chu leave with Li Tingshen, Uncle Ye sighed.
“Miss, I’m begging you. Go and rest, okay? Even if it’s only for ten minutes, Ye Ze will be unhappy when he comes out. Do you still want to visit Daddy tomorrow?”
Ye Qingqiu closed her eyes and stood up slowly. Her eyes were red and clear.
“Okay… I’ll go rest… I’ll be right back.”
Uncle Ye hurriedly said, “Okay, okay, I’ll get someone to bring you to rest.”
“No need, I’ll go myself.”
There was no change in Ye Qingqiu’s expression and her voice was calm, but there was a strong sense of rejection.
However, she didn’t go to rest. Instead, after leaving the emergency department, she suddenly quickened her pace and rushed into the washroom.
She leaned against the wall and bent over the trash can.
The porridge that she had just eaten was almost completely spilled.
After vomiting, her face was so pale that it was almost transparent. Her entire body was trembling.
When she reached for the tissue beside her, her hand was trembling uncontrollably.
“Aiyo, Miss, are you alright?”
An old man’s dry hand helped her to grab the tissue.
She thanked him softly and took the paper to wipe her mouth.
The old man’s hair was completely white and he was wearing a pair of reading glasses. He was staring at her intently.
Ye Qingqiu looked at her calmly, only to see her smiling after staring at her for two seconds.
“Is morning sickness unbearable?”
Ye Qingqiu was stunned. “… What?”
