Qin Se was stunned.
The way he put it sounded… intriguing… If she did get a divorce and they were still together after that, there would be no shame in that, right?
Qin Se’s heart thumped violently. As she looked at Gu Jingyuan’s emotionless face, she shivered even more.
This man had to be the type who held grudges.
She gulped and laughed awkwardly.
Soon, they arrived at the hospital, and the driver announced, “Sir, we have arrived.”
As the driver spoke, the car came to a halt., and Qin Se squinted her eyes. Without saying another word, she pushed the car door open and jumped off the vehicle. She then took off in her high heels and fled from the scene. She left Gu Jingyuan behind and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The hospital was massive, which meant that Gu Jingyuan would need some time to locate her.
Even if he managed to find her, since she hadn’t shown up with him, as long as he kept his mouth shut, no one would associate them with being together.

The driver was flabbergasted and commented, “Sir, Miss Qin can run… pretty fast.”
The corner of Gu Jingyuan’s lips curved into a faint smile like the first ray of sunshine after snow. “Well… it’s true. Her physical strength is pretty good!”
The driver got out of the car and opened the door for Gu Jingyuan. Gu Jingyuan then ordered him, “You may go to the finance department when you get back.”
The driver was beaming with joy. “Roger that, thank you, Sir.”

As soon as Shen Rui spotted Qin Se, he flared up. He cursed, “B*tch, how dare you show your face here!”
Qin Se immediately pulled out a stack of photos from her bag. Then, she held it up high as she said, “Come on, turn your volume up. Speak louder, higher-pitched, more emotionally, and curse me. Do it! You’re a coward if you don’t.”
The abundant amount of photos showed the image of two naked bodies, and it was a pretty shameful image to see.
Shen Rui immediately wilted when he saw those photos. He pointed his fingers at Qin Se and ground his teeth. However, he did swallow down his curses and swears.
Shen Rui clenched his fist and asked, “Who is that lover of yours?!”
He hadn’t heard it clearly on the phone, however, he did find the voice somewhat familiar—almost as if he had heard it from somewhere before.
Qin Se let out a tender smile. She reached out and gently patted her belly. She said, “That’s not the point. This belly is the point. Husband, the clock is ticking. My belly will grow quickly. Aren’t you looking forward to the birth of the eldest grandson of the Shen family? I’m very much looking forward to it.”
“OK, Qin Se. you really have the guts. I’ve totally underestimated you…” Shen Rui turned around to leave after he had finished speaking.
Not long after, Shen Zhiguo came storming out angrily. “How dare you show your face here when you were the cause behind your mother-in-law’s misery?!”
He raised his hand as he said those words. It all happened at the speed of light, and there was no way for Qin Se to dodge the slap. She closed her eyes, preparing herself to endure the pain.
She waited for a while for the slap to fall on her face, however… That was odd… why was it not hurting?
Qin Se opened her eyes, and she saw a tall and handsome figure standing beside her. He was like a tall tree that was protecting her securely so that no wind and rain could befall her.
Yet, with just one look at his face, Qin Se began to grind her teeth once more.
‘Uncle, why are you here again?!’
Gu Jingyuan was gripping Shen Zhiguo’s wrist. His gaze was sharp, and his voice was icy. “Mr. Shen, please pay attention to your whereabouts before you try to hit someone!”
Shen Zhiguo felt as though his wrist was about to break. His face grew pale due to the gruesome pain, and he stuttered, “M-Mr. Gu… why are you here?!”
Shen Rui, who was standing behind Shen Zhiguo, also froze for a moment. Hadn’t they been bumping into a big shot like Gu Jingyuan a little too often today?
Gu Jingyuan sneered. “Why can’t I show up in my hospital?”
This hospital was the same hospital that he had once worked at.
Yes, it was true that he no longer held the position of the chief physician, but he had been made the honorary president. He now owned the hospital!
