Chapter 836: Chapter 836: Leaving the Best Memories

Cheng Bingbing lifted her eyes, staring steadily at Huo Qichen, with not even a trace of joy at being saved on her face.

After a while, she managed to find her voice.

"You..." her voice hoarse, she asked, "Are you Qilin’s elder brother, Huo Qichen?"

Actually, the conversation between Huo Qichen and Mrs. Huo had already made things clear, but she still wanted to confirm it once more.

"Yes!" Huo Qichen said.

Cheng Bingbing felt the last sliver of hope dissipate; her strength seemed suddenly drained, and her body almost collapsed.

Huo Qichen quickly reached out to support her.

This support, however, felt like it pushed a button on Cheng Bingbing’s body, and she suddenly pushed Huo Qichen away, her emotions flaring as she shouted, "Don’t touch me; get away, I don’t want to see you, just go!"

Huo Qichen frowned, "Calm down first!"

"I can’t calm down, and I don’t want to, just go, just leave..." Cheng Bingbing, pointing towards the doorway, said angrily and painfully.

Xia Qingtian, who had been acting invisible in the hospital room, noticed her unstable emotions and immediately stepped forward, wrapping his arms around her shoulders, pressing her into his embrace. While calming her emotions, he addressed Huo Qichen, "Young Master Huo, Bingbing’s emotions are quite unstable right now. Perhaps you should leave first and stop upsetting her."

Huo Qichen frowned again, glancing at Cheng Bingbing in Xia Qingtian’s arms.

Seeing Cheng Bingbing trembling all over, her emotions indeed very unstable, he didn’t want to stay and continue upsetting her, so he said, "Alright, then take good care of her. Consider that I owe you a favor, and I will repay it in the future."

"No need!" said Xia Qingtian, "Bingbing is also my friend, taking care of her is what I should do!"

Huo Qichen did not continue to argue, but he took note of this favor.

"Then I’m leaving, call me if there’s anything!" he said, then turned and left.

After he had left, Xia Qingtian softly patted Cheng Bingbing’s shoulder, comforting her, "Bingbing, it’s okay now, they’ve all left the hospital room, no one can hurt you anymore, don’t be scared!"

While speaking, he helped Cheng Bingbing to lie down on the hospital bed.

Cheng Bingbing stared blankly in one direction, silently shedding tears.

Seeing her like this, Xia Qingtian felt somewhat heartbroken.

He held Cheng Bingbing’s hand, "Bingbing, don’t be like this, you can talk to me about anything. We can figure it out together, and even if I can’t help you, it’s better to speak out than to keep it inside."

Cheng Bingbing remained silent.

Xia Qingtian could only say, "Keeping everything bottled up inside isn’t good for the baby in your womb!"

He knew that what Cheng Bingbing cared about most was the baby in her womb.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Cheng Bingbing subconsciously caressed her stomach and said, "Qingtian, I don’t want to stay in this city anymore; I want to leave this place."

Xia Qingtian was taken aback, instinctively asking, "What about your career and Qilin?"

"I want to finish this current movie and then leave the entertainment industry, leave A City, and never come back. As for Qilin..." Cheng Bingbing bit her lip, a flicker of pain crossing her eyes, which finally was replaced by resolve, "There’s no possibility for us anymore!"

"Bingbing, don’t be so pessimistic; Qilin has long known that the child in your womb isn’t his. He loves you so much; he won’t mind!" Xia Qingtian comforted her.

Cheng Bingbing shook her head, a bitter smile appearing, "He knows the child isn’t his, but he doesn’t know that the child in my womb is his elder brother Huo Qichen’s! Even if he doesn’t mind, I can’t do it, carrying Huo Qichen’s child and marrying his brother, Huo Qilin!"

So when she just found out about Huo Qichen’s identity, she had collapsed.

Mrs. Huo’s dislike and the class difference between her and Huo Qilin couldn’t stop her determination to be with Huo Qilin.

But the identity of the biological father of the child in her womb was like an insurmountable gulf, lying in front of her and Huo Qilin, impossible to cross—at least she couldn’t overcome this psychological barrier.

"But this is so unfair to Qilin!" Xia Qingtian wanted to speak up for Huo Qilin.

Cheng Bingbing bitterly said, "This world was never about fairness, I really can’t face Qilin anymore!"

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Xia Qingtian could only say, "Okay, whatever you do, I will respect it."

"Thank you." Cheng Bingbing curved her lips into a smile.

But as she smiled, tears started to fall.

Cheng Bingbing was staying in the hospital but wasn’t injured. She had fainted earlier due to shock, coupled with running for too long, so she felt weak. After being observed in the hospital for one night, she could be discharged the next day.

Xia Qingtian handled the discharge procedures for her.

As they walked out of the hospital, someone suddenly called out to her.

Cheng Bingbing’s body stiffened upon hearing the voice.

She lifted her head, and there was Huo Qilin, standing not far away, watching her with a complex expression.

She didn’t want to see Huo Qilin, didn’t want to face his strange looks.

Cheng Bingbing took a deep breath and turned to leave the place, but Huo Qilin didn’t give her the chance, quickly stepping forward and grabbing her arm, "Bingbing, where do you think you’re going?"

Cheng Bingbing struggled, trying to break free.

But Huo Qilin held on too tightly, making it impossible to escape. She weakly said, "I don’t want to see you right now!"

Huo Qilin still held on to her arm and didn’t let go, "Is what my mom said true?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Bingbing’s body stiffened like a stone.

The thing she didn’t want to face the most still happened.

She suddenly felt a wave of embarrassment rising from deep within, her nose tingled, and even her eyes began to hurt.

Huo Qilin didn’t mention what his mother had said, but they both knew it very well. She suppressed all her emotions from the bottom of her heart, looked up at Huo Qilin, and said, "It’s true!"

She believed this was something not only she couldn’t accept, but Huo Qilin couldn’t either.

Sure enough, upon hearing her admit it herself, he released the grip on her arm, all on his own, and his whole demeanor suddenly became distraught.

He could accept that the child in Cheng Bingbing’s womb belonged to anyone else, but he simply couldn’t accept that the child was his older brother Huo Qichen’s.

Cheng Bingbing had foreseen this situation would occur, but when it actually happened, she still felt as if her heart had been gouged out, causing her immense pain.

She tried to comfort herself, thinking it was for the best.

She was supposed to leave Huo Qilin anyway; now that he couldn’t accept this fact, they could part amicably.

Leaving each other with the most beautiful memories.
