Chapter 77 Because you dare not, you're afraid Qingqing will remember everything.
He walked to An Cinian's side and hugged her: "Silly wife, once you get better, we'll go home. You promised to give me camellias, didn't you?"
An Cinian nodded and nestled in Xie Yu'an's arms. Okay, she wouldn't break her promise.
Lu Ye was outside, secretly watching the two of them. He smiled bitterly. He should be happy. Ci Nian had found happiness. Even if this happiness wouldn't last forever, such a beautiful moment was something to cherish and remember for the rest of his life.
Ci Nian, I won't let you die like this. You deserve the best of everything in this world.
I've made all the preparations, and I need to find an opportunity to be alone with you for a while so I can give everything back to you.
Just thinking about seeing Qi Yan's face earlier made her feel uneasy.
Those memories, long buried in the past, suddenly opened up like a door that had found its key.
The moment Lu Ye stepped into his hospital room.
"Luye? You changed your name too?"
A familiar voice sounded.
Lu Ye turned to look at the tall man, Qi Yan!
"It really is you, Siye!"
His eyes were slightly narrowed as he stared intently at the familiar Lu Ye in front of him. If he hadn't investigated beforehand, he would never have imagined that Si Ye was still alive!
Looking at Qi Yan, who was a little taller than him, Lu Ye felt a mix of emotions. No one had called him by that name in a long time. If it weren't for his memories of his past life, he would have forgotten the name. But this life was different. Hearing that name made him feel miserable, as if he were in unbearable pain.
"Aren't you the same, Si...Qi...Yan!"
In order to break away from the Si family, remove his surname, and kill his stepfather who raised him, he inherited his property. In the end, this person was more cunning and ruthless.
"What, do you think that just because you changed your surname and fled to Beicheng, nothing happened?" Thinking that An Cinian was also with this person, she grabbed Lu Ye by the collar and forced Lu Ye to be pressed against the wall at the door of the ward.
Qi Yan's face was filled with resentment and anger, wishing he could kill this person. He shouted, "If it weren't for you, Qingqing wouldn't have become like this!"
Lu Ye felt a sharp pain in his back, and coupled with his current illness, his face was very pale. But, Si Qi Yan, how could you be so shameless when you said that?
Si Qiyan was also partly responsible for how things turned out this way. He raised his fist, and a red mark quickly appeared on Qiyan's face.
"And you! Si Qiyan, I made a mistake, but didn't you make a mistake too?" she angrily rebuked the man for his hypocrisy.
"That's all because of you! I was going to run away with Qingqing, but why did you interfere? What right do you have to take Qingqing away?" Si Qiyan was naturally indignant.
The two started fighting, neither willing to give in, and the scene became chaotic.
Thinking back to how he had almost run away with Qingqing, it all turned out to be because of Si Ye. That man was utterly wicked; he had betrayed his trust and taken Qingqing back with him.
"I told you long ago, we can't take Qingqing away yet. We simply don't have the ability to protect her!"
"Shut up, Si Ye, shut up! If it weren't for you, Qingqing would be free long ago. I really hate you!"
Si Qiyan angrily grabbed Lu Ye's collar, his eyes filled with anger and disgust, his voice hoarse with rage, making each word seem to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
If it weren't for Si Ye's doing, An Cinian should have been his!
Lu Ye found it amusing. He reached out and forcefully shoved Si Qiyan's rude gesture away. Then, he quickly sat back on the hospital bed, supporting himself with his right hand, and coughed, his face flushed.
Despite feeling extremely unwell, Lu Ye turned his head to look at the crazed Si Qi Yan and continued, "In such a treacherous family, what freedom is there? We grew up together and witnessed all the hardships Qing Qing has endured. You know her physical condition simply cannot withstand the hardships of escape. You are also well aware of the methods they use. Your reckless actions in taking Qing Qing away will only hasten her death, brother!"
Lu Ye raised his head, looking at his elder brother with a firm gaze, filled with sorrow. After all, they were brothers, blood was thicker than water, and no matter what happened, they would always be family.
"Don't call me that!"
Si Qiyan turned away, unwilling to look Lu Ye in the eye. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. How could he not understand Qingqing's situation? That was precisely why he longed to take Qingqing away from this dangerous family. If they continued to stay here, Qingqing would be killed sooner or later.
He just wanted Qingqing to be happy. Is there anything wrong with that wish?
"If only I had this kind of strength back then." Looking out the window at the heavy snow, I thought, "How annoying. There's no such thing as innocence in this world; everything is either black or gray."
“But you didn’t have that ability back then!” Without hesitation, she struck at Si Qiyan’s sore spot.
"...Hmph, Siye, don't think I don't know what you're up to?" Standing in front of Luye, he adopted a superior attitude, his eyes lowered, revealing a cold and disdainful expression, as if he were examining an insignificant ant.
Kano knew exactly what this person was referring to, but so what?
"And what about you? I haven't even questioned you yet. Didn't you have any ulterior motives for joining the Si family? Didn't you choose to join this family for your own benefit?" Lu Ye's words carried a hint of provocation as he stared directly at the other party, waiting for an answer.
At that time, I was five years old and Si Qiyan was nine years old. They were adopted by the Si family. Si Quan was their adoptive father. Later, because Lu Ye and Qingqing left, he took advantage of the chaos in the Si family to escape.
He encountered Qin Jie on the way, but this man was a scoundrel. He killed him and eventually inherited the Qin family's wealth. Because of his rise to power, the Qin family became his possession.
The reason he suppressed the Lan family and Qingqing left was because he had thoroughly investigated and found out that it was a conspiracy orchestrated by Lan Mingqing and others. Therefore, everything that followed was his doing.
He deliberately put himself in danger and deliberately appeared in front of An Cinian, just like he did back then, using the same old trick.
"Since you know how Qingqing left, and you even saw Qingqing, Si Qiyan, then tell me, why don't you tell her the truth?"
Faced with Si Qiyan's silence, Lu Ye felt an indescribable irony. Everyone was the same, with a hint of malice in their bones. She stood up again, supporting herself on the bed, her tone and eyes filled with a hint of mockery: "Because you dare not. You are afraid that Qingqing will remember everything. If she remembers, there will be no possibility between you and her."
