Chapter 2948: Chapter 2946: The Imprisoned Man
Xiao Qi didn’t want to stay asleep, but he was trapped in a cloud of white mist. He could hear Nangong Beiying talking, could hear others talking, but no matter how he struggled, he couldn’t break free from the mist’s constraints.
He heard what Nangong Beiying said. Unexpectedly, it really was his child. He so wanted to wake up and tell her that he loved her, truly loved her. He had never been so invested in a woman, or put in so much effort and time just to pursue her to be his wife. Yet she never agreed.
Who would have thought, they already had a child together without even realizing it. He never anticipated such an outcome. If only she had told him earlier, he would have taken her away.
Xiao Qi really wanted to break free from the mist, but the more he struggled, the more he couldn’t get out.
"It’s useless; you can’t leave." Just when Xiao Qi tried to leave again and again, a voice came from behind him.
"Who are you? Why have you trapped me here?" Xiao Qi asked aloud.
"It’s not me who trapped you here; I’ve been trapped here for many years too, so long that I don’t even remember how long it’s been. I didn’t expect anyone else to come here." The voice spoke again.
"You’re trapped here too? Why?" Xiao Qi didn’t know where this place was, so how could someone else be bound here as well?
"Yes, I don’t know how long it’s been either, so long that I don’t even know when it started." The voice was full of melancholy.
"How could this happen?" Xiao Qi didn’t expect such a thing to exist in the world.
"But I think I know why. I heard her voice." The ethereal voice was elusive.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Qi was truly confused. What did it mean to have heard her voice?
"You’re very lucky; she doesn’t easily open her heart, and yet you have brought her to this point. It seems you truly love her with all your heart. Love her well. I will help you get out, and she will be in your care from now on; take good care of her." The voice grew more distant.
Xiao Qi was even more bewildered. Who was she? Why was he asked to take care of her? Moreover, he didn’t know who the speaker was or how to proceed.
Despite how much he thought about it, he couldn’t figure out who the other person was. All he knew was that after the voice left, the sense of confinement over him was not as strong.
Even so, he still couldn’t get out. He wanted to wake up, wanted to tell Nangong Beiying that he was fine, that he would definitely take good care of her and the child. But no matter how much he wanted to, it was useless because he couldn’t get out.
Nangong Beiying spoke for a long time, but Xiao Qi showed no reaction. She knew speaking further wouldn’t help much, so she decided to return tomorrow.
She tugged at Xiao Qi’s blanket corner, then stood up, looked around the hospital room, and stepped out of the door.
"Yingying, over here." Qin Xue called out to Nangong Beiying upon hearing the door open.
"Xuexue." Nangong Beiying, with her big belly, was actually very tired, but she had her own matters to handle, and no matter how tired she was, she would persist.
Everything had to be borne by herself. Regardless of any emotions, she had to handle them on her own.
So, no matter how tiring it was, she wouldn’t let herself fall because only if she stood firm, The Nangongs, the Qingteng Gang, and Xiao Qi could have the motivation to live better.
"Are you okay?" Qin Xue looked at her, somewhat uncertain of her expression.
"I’m fine. Let’s go; let’s find a place to sit." Nangong Beiying didn’t say much more. Some things she didn’t want to say, rather she didn’t know how to say.
