Chapter 59: Chapter 058 Boyfriend/Girlfriend Relationship?

The harrowing battle in Birch Forest was still fresh, and amidst the hazy blur, Qin Tian’s body jolted as he opened his eyes.

Everything around him was white, and the smell of medicine wafted into his nostrils. Qin Tian realized in an instant that he was in a hospital.

”Qin Tian, you’re awake?”

A familiar voice came through, filled with deep concern.

It was early morning, and Lu Qing had been sleeping beside the hospital bed, sprawled on top of it, draped in a leather jacket.

Seeing Qin Tian open his eyes, a smile emerged on Lu Qing’s face, ”You’re finally awake, you scared me to death...”

As she smiled, a hint of sadness seemed to creep in.

”Hey, why have you turned into a panda?” Qin Tian said.

”What?” Lu Qing was startled.

”Your eyes have such dark circles... You don’t have to stay up that much.”

”You’ve been unconscious for two days. These past two days, I, I... how could I have possibly slept?”

Her face turned slightly red as she stood up, straightened the leather jacket, and quickly poured Qin Tian a cup of hot water, handing it to him, ”Be careful, it’s a bit hot.”

Qin Tian only felt some pain in his back and right leg; the rest of his body was relatively okay.

He took a sip of hot water and said, ”Today doesn’t seem like a weekend, don’t you have to go to work?”

”I...”

Lu Qing pouted, looking adorably indecisive, and then said, ”I... how could I go to work with peace of mind when you are in the hospital, do you think I have an Iron Heart?”

”It’s just a minor injury,” Qin Tian said with a light smile. It wasn’t the first time he had been injured like this; was it really something to make a fuss about?

But then again, it made sense. Lu Qing, who had always lived a peaceful life, had never seen such gruesome scenes.

”A minor injury?”

Hearing this, Lu Qing gave Qin Tian a reproachful look, grumbling, ”Do you think you’re an indestructible cockroach, taking that many stabs? The doctor said that if the last stab had been two to three centimeters off, you would have been dead. Do you really not care about your own body...”

As she spoke, Lu Qing became emotional and started wiping away tears.

”It’s nothing,” Qin Tian said with a smile. ”Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”

”Qin Tian, let me ask you, you...”

Lu Qing dabbed her eyes with a tissue, looking at Qin Tian, ”Why did you... why did you protect me at the risk of your own life that night? Didn’t you care about your life at all?”

”Cough, cough, it was a habit, an instinctive reaction,” Qin Tian said with a wry smile. ”This whole thing really had nothing to do with you, and I already feel guilty for getting you involved. If you had been hurt, wouldn’t I have to live with the guilt forever? Heh.”

”It would be good if you felt guilty forever, then you’d never forget about me, hmph.”

As she spoke, Lu Qing remembered that Qin Tian hadn’t had breakfast yet, so she got up, took an apple, and started peeling it carefully for him.

”Sister Qing, you hope that I’ll never forget you in my whole life?” Qin Tian asked with a mischievous grin.

This question startled Lu Qing, nearly causing her to slice her hand with the fruit knife.

”I...”

Lu Qing hesitated, took a deep breath, and after adjusting the hair at her cheeks, suddenly raised her head and asked Qin Tian, ”Qin Tian, if I... if I ended up liking you, what should I do?”

Ah?!

As soon as she said this, the hospital room fell silent.

Qin Tian was also a bit surprised. Since when had Sister Qing become so proactive? Wasn’t it that she had never been in a relationship?

The room was quiet for a few seconds, then Lu Qing looked at Qin Tian with her face blushing and lips pouted, ”You’re not going to speak? I, as a girl, am not even embarrassed, and you’re too shy? Tell me, if I liked you, what would you do?”

”Cough, cough...”

Qin Tian licked his lips and replied with a smile, ”Sister Qing, it’s just that I don’t quite understand your question.”

”Ah, you still don’t understand?”

”Yeah, I want to ask, do you like me, or... heh, are you in love with me?”

”...Jerk!”

Lu Qing’s face turned a deep red. She looked down and then up again, laughing, ”What if I like both?”

Damn, I can’t handle this devil!

Qin Tian was speechless for a moment, watching Lu Qing switch between serious and playful expressions, and he wasn’t quite sure whether she was joking or serious.

However, for his part, with Lu Qing being so beautiful—a truly breathtaking beauty—and having a compatible personality with him, it wouldn’t be too bad if she became his woman.

But... cough, cough, he was currently the fiancé of Murong Fei, so what should he do?

Murong Bei certainly wouldn’t agree to him being involved with Lu Qing while engaged to Murong Fei, right?

And what if he broke off the engagement?

Murong Fei would obviously agree, but would Murong Bei?

Qin Tian was puzzled. He didn’t know what the relationship was between the old man and Murong Bei. When he first proposed to marry Murong Fei, Murong Bei seemed very happy. Could it be that his granddaughter Murong Fei couldn’t get married? Clearly not.

Qin Tian had a sneaking suspicion that the old man and Murong Bei must know something that he and Murong Fei were kept in the dark about.

So with that thought, if he took the initiative to dissolve the engagement, it was likely that Murong Bei wouldn’t easily agree.

”Hey, I’m declaring my feelings for you, and you’re daydreaming?”

Seeing Qin Tian lost in thought, Lu Qing laughed and said, ”You’re such an enigma, really... Do I not attract you at all?” She sniffed, and then, still smiling, said, ”Qin Tian, I’m really curious, what does your man look like? Hehe, how about you take me to meet him one day?”

”Uh...”

Qin Tian, who had just snapped back to reality, was once again left speechless.

”Oh, now I remember, you were staying in the villa last time, isn’t your man a rich tycoon?”

It was as if Columbus had discovered the New World; Lu Qing’s imagination instantly came into play, and she exclaimed, ”I remember, I remember now. You said your friend was a man, over seventy years old... Holy shit, Qin Tian, you’re actually with a man over seventy years old...”

The excited Lu Qing, grinning from ear to ear, actually stood up and looked at Qin Tian with disbelief, as if he had done something unspeakable.

”Qin Tian, don’t tell me you’re being kept by that old rich guy in his seventies?” Lu Qing asked bluntly.

”Your imagination is really rich. Why don’t you write novels?”

Qin Tian curled his lip, on the verge of tears.

”I’ve said many times that I’m a normal man. Why don’t you believe me?” he said, speechless.

”Is that so? You are a normal man, are you? Then... heehee, shall I check?”

Smiling, Lu Qing put down the apple in her hand, a fragrant breeze drifted over, and she walked up to the hospital bed, stretching out her fair hand and said with a smile, ”Don’t move, if you’re a normal man, let’s see if you react to this great beauty touching you all over, heehee...”

”Hey, are you for real?”

Seeing Lu Qing’s hand really reaching into his clothes, Qin Tian was greatly startled.

”What’s the matter, feeling guilty?”

”I’m not. Feel free to touch, it’s not like I’m at a loss,” he replied.

”That’s what you said, heehee...”

”Ah! It’s ticklish, okay...”

Squeak!

Just as Lu Qing and Qin Tian were playing and teasing each other in the hospital room, the door of the room opened.

A refreshing scent wafted in.

In the room, the grinning Lu Qing and Qin Tian both instinctively turned around.

Expecting it to be the nurse, they were surprised to see a stunningly beautiful woman standing at the door, dressed in a white trench coat—

Murong Fei had actually arrived!

Holy shit!

Qin Tian’s face changed instantly.

Lu Qing was also stupefied.

Qin Tian lowered his head and saw Lu Qing’s hand still inside his clothes, touching his chest.

How embarrassing...

”Hey, your hand...” Qin Tian whispered a reminder.

Lu Qing’s face turned red, and she quickly snapped back to reality, retracting her hand like lightning, then straightened her clothes, her face bearing a shocked expression as she respectfully bowed to Murong Fei.

”President Fei... You, how come you’re here?” Lu Qing was extremely awkward.

It was then that Qin Tian remembered that Lu Qing didn’t know about his relationship with Murong Fei, so, of course, she was astonished, a corporate CEO coming to visit a wounded security guard personally?

Murong Fei, standing at the door, had a momentary subtle expression on her face, but it quickly returned to calm, still as water.

Holding some nourishment and fruits in her hand, she walked in high heels into the room.

Placing the fruits aside, Murong Fei acted as if she hadn’t seen anything just now and asked Qin Tian, ”Qin Tian, are you feeling better?”

”Cough cough... a bit better,” Qin Tian said, still a bit embarrassed.

The more Murong Fei pretended nothing was wrong, the more it seemed to be a problem.

But since she asked no questions and said nothing, there was nothing Qin Tian could do to explain.

”Don’t just stand, sit down.”

Seeing Lu Qing awkwardly standing to the side, Murong Fei hurriedly told her to sit down.

Lu Qing hesitated for a moment, her heart pounding as she thought of the embarrassing scene Murong Fei had witnessed.

Why would President Fei come here?

Seeing me with a man like that, she wouldn’t think ill of me, would she?

She wouldn’t think I’m like that with every man, right? What should I do, what should I do...

”Oh,” she replied, sitting down awkwardly.

”I was on a business trip out of town the last few days,” Murong Fei said briefly, turning to look at Lu Qing. ”Manager Lu, have you been watching over him these past few days?”

”Oh... yeah, yeah.”

In front of the commanding presence of Murong Fei, the usually lively and cheerful Lu Qing suddenly became somewhat restrained, even her speech lacking confidence.

”You’re sales partners at Hongtu Real Estate, aren’t you?” Murong Fei gazed at Lu Qing with a distant look, seemingly purposeful yet casual.

”Mm,” Lu Qing nodded.

”With Captain Qin injured, you seem very concerned about him. I take it you’re not just ordinary friends?” asked Murong Fei further.

Addressing Qin Tian, she used ”Captain Qin,” which emphasized her CEO’s demeanor even more.

”Just now, I saw how close you were. Are you in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?”

Before Lu Qing could recover from her surprise, Murong Fei pressed with successive questions.

This query made the already highly-strung Lu Qing even more nervous,

Especially considering that the question got not just Lu Qing but also Qin Tian sweating.
