He Yun frowned. When they were at the Qiao family's place before, Qiao Wei had said she would never agree to a divorce, even if it meant death. He Yun hadn't taken her words to heart.
He was certain Qiao Wei wouldn't dare commit suicide.
He ignored Qiao Wei. Now, he had already contacted the director at the Civil Affairs Bureau, arranging for them to bring the official seals and documents to the Qiao family the next day to process the divorce between him and Qiao Wei.
As soon as He Yun finished these arrangements and returned home, he received a call from Qiao Xue.
He Yun still couldn't accept it.
How could Qiao Wei, someone who became terrified at the sight of a little blood, commit suicide?
Without considering anything else, He Yun rushed to the hospital.
The Qiao family members were all waiting outside the operating room.
Qiao Wei was in the operating room.
The doctor emerged, glanced at everyone, and asked, "Who is Qiao Wei's husband?"
He Yun stepped forward.
The doctor said, "She's bleeding profusely and needs a blood transfusion for resuscitation. However, she's pregnant, and we're hesitant to administer medication indiscriminately. We need your signature now. If necessary, we can only save one."
He Yun was stunned by the doctor's words.
In the years they had been married, he had only ever touched Qiao Wei when he was drunk and missed Yan Xi too much. When he was sober, He Yun never went near Qiao Wei.
Yet, the doctor was telling him Qiao Wei was pregnant.
He Yun always took precautions. How could she be pregnant?
As He Yun fell into thought, the doctor presented a document for him to sign.
He Yun signed and looked at the doctor, speaking faintly, "Doctor, save the mother."
Anyone who didn't know about He Yun and Qiao Wei's relationship would have been moved by He Yun's devotion.
However, everyone in the Qiao family knew that He Yun's "save the mother" meant he didn't want the child to be a hindrance, allowing him to divorce Qiao Wei smoothly.
But now that the Qiao family had taken this path, there was no turning back.
He Yun signed, and the doctor went in to operate on Qiao Wei.
He Yun looked at Qiao Yunlong and asked, "How did Qiao Wei attempt suicide?"
Qiao Yunlong glanced at Qiao Xue. He said what Qiao Xue had instructed him to, but since He Yun was from the He family, Qiao Yunlong was still hesitant to be too confrontational. He could only calmly recount the events to He Yun.
He Yun was filled with mixed emotions after listening.
He was too soft-hearted. Yesterday, he shouldn't have sent Qiao Wei home. He should have taken her directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Then, Qiao Wei's suicide would have had nothing to do with him.
He Yun stayed at the hospital until Qiao Wei was out of danger, and then he left.
After He Yun left, Qiao Wei was moved to a regular ward.
Lying there, Qiao Wei showed no sign of weakness.
Despite the bandages around her wrists, Qiao Wei's complexion was even more ruddy than that of a normal person.
Qiao Wei looked around. Not seeing He Yun's figure, her mood instantly soured.
Seeing how much Qiao Wei cared about He Yun, Qiao Xue couldn't help but frown. Her tone was one of exasperated disappointment, "Can you show some spirit? From now on, He Yun won't mention divorce to you again."
"Sister, I'm not pregnant at all. If He Yun finds out, he'll never let our Qiao family off the hook. I still think your plan isn't very reliable."
"What time is it, and you're still defending He Yun? I told you, if you're pregnant, He Yun won't mention divorce. After all, he and Yan Xi have no future. Your primary task now is to rest and nurture the baby."
"But where will the child come from? You can't hide the truth forever. If my belly isn't showing in two months, He Yun will still divorce me."
Qiao Wei couldn't help but frown and ask.
"That's not your concern. Your main task is to rest and nurture the baby. Leave everything else to me."
Initially, Qiao Wei had some worries, but after hearing Qiao Xue's words, she grasped onto a lifeline. She placed all her hopes on Qiao Xue.
Since childhood, Qiao Xue had always been smarter than Qiao Wei. There was nothing Qiao Xue set her mind to that she failed to achieve. To win back He Yun's heart, Qiao Wei risked everything and decided to follow Qiao Xue's plan.
After leaving the hospital, He Yun went to visit Yan Xi.
Yan Xi's condition had recovered considerably, and she would be discharged after another day of observation.
Seeing Yan Xi, He Yun felt quite happy. However, the moment he remembered that Yan Xi was his sister, his happiness subsided.
If only he and Yan Xi weren't siblings, He Yun thought.
He Yun didn't enter the ward. He took a secret glance at Yan Xi outside her room and turned to leave, only to bump into Fu Yan Ting, who was walking towards him.
Fu Yan Ting saw He Yun and raised an eyebrow. He said, "I think you've come to the wrong hospital. Qiao Wei is at the Second People's Hospital, and this is the First People's Hospital."
He Yun forced a smile. He ignored Fu Yan Ting's sarcasm and simply said, "Yan Ting, do you have some time? We need to talk."
"Do you think I have the leisure to talk with you?"
Fu Yan Ting replied coldly.
He Yun knew that even though Fu Yan Ting had left Qiao Wei to his disposal, he was still furious about what she had done, which had also affected his attitude towards He Yun.
However, He Yun didn't blame Fu Yan Ting. Fu Yan Ting's anger stemmed from his deep affection for Yan Xi.
He Yun pulled Fu Yan Ting to a coffee shop near the hospital.
Fu Yan Ting sat there, his demeanor distant and aloof. He said, "Didn't you say you wanted to talk? Go ahead, I'll give you three minutes."
"I intend to divorce Qiao Wei, but she's pregnant."
He Yun had been keeping this bottled up and didn't know who to tell. Now, facing Fu Yan Ting, who had been through it all, perhaps he could help He Yun solve this problem.
"That's your problem and has nothing to do with me. Get to the point of why you wanted to talk. You have two and a half minutes left."
"Yan Ting, don't be like this. You know I consider you a brother, that's why I'm telling you this. I really don't know what to do. I want a divorce, but who would have thought Qiao Wei would get pregnant at this critical juncture."
"You consider me a friend, but your wife, Qiao Wei, wants to kill Yan Xi. You consider me a friend, yet you harbor improper thoughts towards my woman, the mother of my child, behind my back. He Yun, if I didn't consider you a friend, I wouldn't be sitting here. But me sitting here doesn't mean I forgive your actions."
"I know, Yan Ting. I asked you to meet today to tell you that I will no longer have any thoughts about Yan Xi. Yan Xi, she should be my sister."
Fu Yan Ting clearly didn't believe He Yun's words. However, when he heard He Yun say Yan Xi was his sister, Fu Yan Ting was somewhat shocked.
Fu Yan Ting had known five years ago that Yan Xi was not Yan Jiapeng's daughter.
