Chapter 522: 522, she wants to stay calm, wants to pretend she doesn’t care
Upon seeing Shi Yuhuan and Song Qinghuan on the stairs, a sense of forboding washed over Chen Tian. He sensed that he may not get a vacation in the next few months, or even years.
When Shi Yuhuan picked up Song Qinghuan and walked towards him, Chen Tian immediately saluted respectfully, saying “Boss!”
Shi Yuhuan didn’t even glance at him, and proceeded to leave while carrying Song Qinghuan.
On the way back, Song Qinghuan remained silent, no longer interrogating as she did before.
At the same time, Shi Yuhuan was unsure about how to explain to Song Qinghuan everything she had witnessed.
His world was beyond her comprehension. Explanations would be futile, especially since everything had already happened. Any explanation would be superfluous.
Suddenly, Song Qinghuan tightly grasped at her own shirt at her chest, retching violently.
The feeling of nausea came so suddenly. She wasn’t sure if it was car sickness that made her want to vomit. Shi Yuhuan’s driving speed at that moment wasn’t fast, the car was running especially smooth.
Reacting to Song Qinghuan’s discomfort, Shi Yuhuan quickly stopped the car by the road. He reached over her shoulder and looked at her pained expression, asking with concern, “What’s wrong?”
Another wave of nausea hit her and she felt something rising in her chest again. Frowning, Song Qinghuan pushed him away.
At the same time, she turned and pushed open the car door, got out and started throwing up by the roadside.
Shi Yuhuan immediately got out of the car and came to her side. Looking at her with a concerned frown, he asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong? Is it your stomach? Do you need me to take you to the hospital?”
Nothing came out, but Song Qinghuan’s breath was ragged. She shook her head in pain, “I just feel a bit nauseous, I’m all right now, really… Let’s go.”
She turned and got back into the car again, collapsing on the seat, devoid of any strength.
Shi Yuhuan looked at her deeply, then went back to the car and drove off once again.
Once again, the car fell silent. The atmosphere was a bit stifled, neither of them spoke a word.
Shi Yuhuan was driving, occasionally glancing at Song Qinghuan. She had her eyes closed, as if asleep. Under the faint road light, her facial expression was difficult to discern.
For the first time, Shi Yuhuan found himself unable to understand Song Qinghuan. He was unsure what her current mood was.
But Song Qinghuan felt that Shi Yuhuan should understand.
She was a simple girl. Her birth, experiences, thoughts were all extremely simple. Her life may have been poor, but it was simple and pure, untouched by any darkness.
Ever since she met Shi Yuhuan, she had seen guns and kidnappings, and she felt that she had already encountered the limits of what life could throw at her.
Out of China’s 1.3 billion population, she believed that 1.2 billion people would never come across such things in their entire lives.
She had always thought that she was one of those 1.2 billion people.
Who would have thought that someone related to her by blood could so freely obtain such a thing, and even do something so terrifying as to harm an unborn child.
She wanted to stay calm, to pretend like it did not matter. She believed that loving someone meant accepting all parts of him, including his coldness and cruelty.
In fact, when she first met Shi Yuhuan, she knew he had this side to him. But she had to admit, when she saw Xu Meili’s unborn child taken away right before her eyes, she was truly scared. What scared her more was what Xu Meili had said afterwards.
As a woman, she believed that no woman could be unbothered or unafraid of those words from Xu Meili.
