Chapter 282: 286 Take the opportunity to approach_1

"To the hospital!"

As Qin Muchuan spoke, he was already holding the child.

"Can we go to the hospital? Can you take me there? What if someone sees us? It’s better not to. I’ll take the child to the hospital myself!" Zhou Ziqing, crying and speaking at the same time.

Each phrase was a concern for Qin Muchuan, each one taking him into account.

Furrowing his brows, Qin Muchuan disliked her behavior. "If you’re so scared of the impact it will have, scared of the impact it will have on me, why did you call me then! Weren’t you trying to get me to take the child to the hospital?"

If she was truly as worried as she claimed, she should have called 120, not him.

Zhou Ziqing fell silent at being interrogated. "Yes, I am in a dilemma. I want you to help us, mother and daughter, yet I don’t want you to think I’m intentionally getting close to you."

Holding the child, Qin Muchuan, quite exasperated, said, "Now is not the time to discuss these things. Get the things the child would need!"

"Alright!" A somewhat embarrassed Zhou Ziqing, wiping away her tears, hastened to gather the things.

The child was soon taken to the hospital, where after an examination, she was found to simply have caught a cold from being chilled.

"It’s not a viral infection. The child was just chilled!" The doctor identified the cause of illness and then remarked, "Parents with such children should be even more careful and attentive. In this weather, catching a cold from the cold is actually quite rare... she was in good health when she went to sleep last night."

After hearing this, Qin Muchuan frowned. It’s rather warm out, how could the child possibly catch a chill and get a cold?

His querying gaze fell on Zhou Ziqing’s face. The child was perfectly fine when Lin Xiangwan handed her over last night.

Zhou Ziqing felt very uneasy under his gaze, feigning ignorance. "I don’t know how it happened, but I was very careful with the child!"

After the doctor left, Qin Muchuan spoke lightly. "I didn’t mean to blame you, nor do I even have the right to. However, since you’re the one who gave birth to her and want to take care of her as she grows up, then you should... take good care of her. Of course, if you no longer want to care for her, then I’ll raise her."

While saying this, Qin Muchuan couldn’t help but feel some self-mockery deep down-- why did it feel like he was laying eggs everywhere he went? Why were there children of his everywhere?

He hoped that such absurd things wouldn’t continue.

"No, I want to take care of her!" Zhou Ziqing shook her head adamantly and then sat at the bedside, cradling Duoduo’s small body in her arms.

With an IV needle in her head, Duoduo cooed and gurgled, but at first, nobody could clearly hear what she was saying.

Gradually, Qin Muchuan noticed the child’s gaze landing on him, and she started making "Eh, eh..." sounds.

Qin Muchuan listened for a long while. "Duoduo misses her aunt, doesn’t she?"

"Uh..."

The child’s strange tiny voice was hard to understand, but after a few times, he understood it as her reply.

The child missed Lin Xiangwan, he understood that!

Qin Muchuan directly asked, "It seems the child really likes Lin Xiangwan..."

Zhou Ziqing’s face distorted into an ugly and sour grimace. "All of you like her so much––you like her, your child likes her too!"

’Your child,’ these words hit a nerve in Qin Muchuan.

A sense of guilt hit his heart once again. "A child’s feelings are very pure and simple. She knows who treats her well. You should learn more from Lin Xiangwan, who is very attentive to her."

Zhou Ziqing sneered sarcastically. "Now in your heart, Lin Xiangwan is all kinds of good. You thought the same of me back then, everything was good. In your eyes, there was no other woman but me!"

Qin Muchuan nodded. "Yes, back then I really liked you."

"If you liked me so much then, why don’t you like me now?" Zhou Ziqing asked, visibly agitated. "If it’s love, you should continue to love me. Not how you are now, cold to me, even for an ordinary friend, you shouldn’t be this disgusted."

Qin Muchuan stood still, not moving at all. "I’m sorry!"

Indeed, he was just like that, especially in dealing with women, especially those with whom he had a romantic relationship.

He couldn’t offer anything, couldn’t develop anything, so he should not get involved in matters of the heart!

"Qin Muchuan, I still love you, what should I do? When I don’t see you, I’m fine. But when I do, I spend all night thinking about our days together!"

She suddenly stood up, racing over to him, and before Qin Muchuan could prepare, she embraced him tightly. "Qin Muchuan, I beg you not to be cold to me, not to treat me like a stranger. Since the day we broke up, I’ve never stopped loving you. I think about you every day. All my feelings for you are well preserved, just like they were many years ago. I can’t stand you treating me this way!"

Zhou Ziqing was now sobbing openly.

Qin Muchuan didn’t push her away, but he didn’t hold her either, giving no response.

"Why did you fall in love with that woman when I came back? She schemed to keep you, why would you like her. I don’t understand, don’t you not have any principles?"

Qin Muchuan didn’t bother to explain to Zhou Ziqing that Lin Xiangwan wasn’t a woman who sought to ensnare him, there was no need to explain this.

"She is my wife, naturally I love her!"

"Then may be your wife, would you love me then?" Zhou Ziqing pursued relentlessly.

"If you had married me back then, she wouldn’t exist now!" Qin Muchuan replied calmly. "But life doesn’t have any hypotheticals or if’s, only reality."

Zhou Ziqing cried even harder, full of bitterness and resentment. "If I hadn’t left you back then, wouldn’t I also be your wife!"

"Yes!"

"Do you hate me—do you hate that I left you, that I didn’t forgive you!"

Qin Muchuan shook his head. "No, I’m even grateful, that you chose to leave me. Because I can’t give you a healthy child, I can’t selfishly keep you with me!"

Zhou Ziqing felt a profound sadness. "I loved you, but I can’t bear to see a child without a father!"

"Ziqing, I don’t want to talk about past events, we’re adults, and we should take responsibility for our past choices. You liking me now, I’m sorry for your boyfriend. You should know that!"

"I can break up with him!"

"Then I couldn’t be with you either. Remember the agreement we reached before!" He reminded her.

"The agreement hasn’t been signed yet. Before it’s signed, I can dismiss the agreement!" Zhou Ziqing clung onto Qin Muchuan. "I like you. I like you, I like you. I just can’t bear to see you with another woman."
