Su Qian glanced at the medicine but did not pick it up. Instead, he carefully shielded me behind him.
Xiao Minxing stopped a couple of steps away from us, and suddenly the earlier chill dissipated, though his sharpness remained as he stared at me and said, "I won't do anything to you, but you need to come out and explain yourself."
Su Qian stood still, and I dared not move behind him. At that moment, I didn't fully trust Xiao Minxing's words.
If he suddenly attacked, even in the hospital, even if he would face some consequences afterward, what about me?
The lesson from last time was still fresh in my mind. I couldn't afford to take that risk; I could only do everything possible to protect myself and the child in my womb.
"Come out."
He waited a few seconds, and seeing that we remained unmoving, he lunged forward to pull me out from behind Su Qian.
At the same time, Su Qian had already moved to block him, and his strength was no less than Xiao Minxing's. His seemingly frail arms managed to keep Xiao Minxing at bay.
Just as Xiao Minxing was about to strike again, Lu Yiheng intervened in time and quickly said, "Listen to me, don't rush. Let me talk to her first; this will only scare her."
Xiao Minxing laughed—a chilling laugh that sent shivers down my spine.
I leaned against the back of a nearby chair, my body tilting downward as my mind raced with chaotic thoughts. I could hardly imagine what would happen next.
Su Qian had turned around, picked up the medicine bag from the ground, and was guiding me toward another part of the hospital. Behind us, Xiao Minxing was still furious but was being forcibly restrained by Lu Yiheng.
The two of them seemed evenly matched in strength; however, Xiao Minxing had become like an enraged lion and quickly shook off Lu Yiheng before striding toward us.
I was stopped by Su Qian before we even reached the elevator.
He grabbed my arm with surprising strength, almost pulling my entire arm off and directly preventing me from moving forward.
Su Qian also stopped, almost simultaneously grabbing Xiao Minxing's wrist to prevent him from using force against me again, positioning himself as a barrier between us.
Xiao Minxing looked like he had gone mad, his eyes red as he glared at him and said, "Let go."
His voice wasn't loud, but each word seemed to be squeezed out through clenched teeth, devoid of warmth, cold and harsh, cutting through the air like a blade of ice, slicing into my heart.
Su Qian didn't speak but stood still, his grip unwavering as he looked at him. Although he appeared calm, I could feel his muscles tense, not relaxing for a moment.
At that moment, Lu Yiheng, who had been pushed away, also rushed over. There were already onlookers in the hospital who had gathered to watch us four; perhaps no one knew what was happening but they were unwilling to miss such a scene.
Lu Yiheng positioned himself between me and Xiao Minxing from the other side, effectively isolating us. However, he held my hand tightly without any sign of loosening his grip.
My gaze swept past the shoulders of the two men and landed on me, who felt like a startled bird.
"Xiao Minxing, let go of her. She is pregnant now; if anything happens, the consequences would be unimaginable. No matter what, let's figure out what's going on first," Lu Yiheng urged him.
However, Xiao Minxing remained unmoved; his teeth were clenched tighter and tighter, his lips pressed into a thin line. The veins on his hand bulged as he gripped my hand harder, turning white at the joints.
After a few seconds of stalemate, Xiao Minxing suddenly spoke: "Come home with me."
I was stunned for a moment, then tried to pull my hand back with all my strength, but he only gripped tighter because of my effort.
My entire palm had turned purple from lack of blood flow for so long, and I was sweating from my head and body.
Su Qian also gripped his hand tightly, probably trying to pry it open, but he ultimately failed.
Meanwhile, Lu Yi Heng was earnestly persuading, "Xiao Minxing, can you let go? She will definitely come back. I'll talk to her. Just let go; can't you see her face has changed?"
I couldn't see my own expression, but my heart felt empty. That wave of cold sweat made it seem like something had drained all the moisture from my body. I could only stand there dryly, unable to muster any strength.
Xiao Minxing continued to look into my eyes, stubbornly refusing to loosen his grip even a little, repeating the words he had said earlier: "Come with me."
In this situation, how could I dare to go with him? In front of so many people, he treated me this way; if I went back with him, I would surely lose this child.
I glanced at Su Qian and then at Lu Yi Heng, but I found that I barely had the strength to look at them. Just that one glance made me start to slide down.
Suddenly, Su Qian released Xiao Minxing's hand and turned around to hold me, saying, "Let go quickly; she's unwell."
The grip on my hand finally loosened. Su Qian held me and ran toward the doctor's office.
From his side, I could see Xiao Minxing standing at the elevator entrance, looking like a wooden carving—no special expression and no movement—just standing there with his head slightly bowed, his gaze lingering on the spot where we had just left.
With the doctor's help, I drank a large cup of hot water and took some medicine. I finally felt a bit better as Su Qian carried me back to the ward.
I actually wanted to walk over myself; there was no reason to trouble him. As a friend, what he did just now was already more than enough kindness.
"But no," Su Qian said somewhat firmly for the first time. "You are very weak right now and cannot afford any mishaps."
After staying in the hospital for five days, I had not seen Xiao Minxing again. Aside from the first day when Su Qian took care of me, Mina came afterward.
She deliberately took a few days off to accompany me, and after being discharged, she did not take me back to the Xiao Family but instead settled me into her home.
She did not ask much about the child, not even bringing it up.
Su Qian visited me at her house a few times, bringing many supplements each time. He didn't say much but would kindly sit with me for a while.
Sometimes when Mina was not home, he would cut some fruit or even use Mina's kitchen to prepare something for me to eat.
To lighten the mood, I would occasionally tease him, "Is being a cooking man in vogue now? Even a young master like you has to cook."
He would laugh and say, "That depends on who I'm cooking for; I never follow trends."
"But I see that your cooking skills didn't come out of nowhere. There must be a line of women waiting to have you cook for them, right?"
I still remembered Xiao Minxing telling me that he was a charming playboy who understood women's hearts.
Su Qian was not angry and did not argue; he simply placed the porridge he had prepared in front of me and said with a light smile, "Waiting for others is one thing; whether I can cook is another."
