Chapter 1221: A Misunderstanding, Qi Heng Isn't Dead

"I want to go now."

She said this while preparing to get out of bed.

Yun Qitian blocked her path: "You are not allowed to go. Uncle and Aunt just gave instructions for you to stay in the Hospital Ward and recover from your injuries properly; you are not allowed to run around. Besides, what is there to see about that person? You aren't even close with him."

Shi Ran:...

She realized there seemed to be a misunderstanding here.

Shi Ran: "Who did you say I'm not close with? Is it Qi Heng?"

Yun Qitian:...

"No, I thought you wanted to go see Liu Quan's corpse."

Shi Ran involuntarily raised her voice: "Why would I go see him? Isn't that terrifying... Wait, what do you mean?"

Both of them realized at the same time that there was a deep misunderstanding between them.

Yun Qitian provided the answer: "Qi Heng isn't dead. He only suffered some minor injuries, sprained his foot, and is also recuperating in the hospital."

"My heavens! Such an important matter, why didn't Aunt mention it just now?"

He thought Shi Youxuan had told Shi Ran, but in reality, she hadn't said a word!

"He didn't die? Falling from such a high rooftop, and he actually only sprained his foot?" Beyond her shock, Shi Ran felt mostly relief.

As long as he is alive, nothing is more important than being alive.

"Where is the soup? Bring it over, I want to eat some more." Shi Ran suddenly had a good appetite and took the initiative to ask for food.

Her change in attitude was too obvious. Yun Qitian knew it was because of Qi Heng; he felt uncomfortable inside but didn't say anything, and brought the insulated bucket over.

A full bucket of soup—besides the shallow bowl she had eaten earlier, there was still plenty left. Now she ate it all, not a drop remained.

"It's so delicious. I'm full, I want to sleep."

She kept her word; after a simple rinse of her mouth, she collapsed onto the hospital bed and fell asleep.

This time she slept very soundly, even letting out a slight snore.

Yun Qitian walked out of the Hospital Ward, preparing to let her rest well, when he saw Qi Heng coming over.

He was followed by several bodyguards, but not a single one dared to get close, all following cautiously behind him.

Qi Heng was leaning on a crutch, his foot in a cast, walking over with a limp.

Yun Qitian blocked the doorway: "You've come at a bad time, Ranran is asleep."

"Move aside, you have no right to block me." Qi Heng looked at Yun Qitian's handsome face and found it unpleasant no matter how he looked at it.

He felt that this harmless-looking face was merely simple on the surface, while in reality, Yun Qitian was cunning and duplicitous.

He clearly liked Shi Ran, yet previously he didn't show it, instead becoming good friends with both of them to make them lower their guard.

And then he took advantage of the situation when a relationship crisis appeared between him and Shi Ran—this was Qi Heng's impression of Yun Qitian!

With a bad impression, naturally, there were no kind words.

Yun Qitian didn't show weakness either, retorting: "You are a truly interesting person. Do you enter other people's rooms without the owner's consent? No wonder you confiscate other people's property whenever you please; it turns out you're used to taking things by force."

"You..."

Qi Heng's face flushed red.

He wanted to argue, but Yun Qitian was right.

When it came to arguing, two Qi Hengs were no match for Yun Qitian alone. He didn't want to talk to him more, so he said with a dark face: "I don't need to explain this matter to you. Move aside, I will give Ranran an explanation."

"Ranran is asleep." Although Yun Qitian was in a bad mood, he wasn't lying.

"I can wait for her to wake up."

A bodyguard brought over a comfortable chair with a backrest and placed it at the door, and Qi Heng actually sat down to wait.

Yun Qitian:...

Since he was waiting at the door of the Hospital Ward, he had no reason to object.

"If you want to wait, then wait. Don't blame me for not warning you; Ranran just fell asleep, there's no telling when she'll wake up."

"I am willing to wait, I am willing to wait no matter how long it takes."

"Bang!"

Yun Qitian turned back, and the door of the Hospital Ward slammed shut, using this to vent his dissatisfaction.

But he regretted it immediately—why did he close the door so hard?

Isn't that brainless?

Waking Shi Ran up would end up helping Qi Heng.

He looked cautiously into the inner room; the Hospital Ward was a suite, the inner door was closed, and although the sound of the outer door closing was loud, it hadn't woken Shi Ran.

Thank goodness, thank goodness.

Yun Qitian rested in the outer room, but he wasn't idle.

Every ten minutes or so, he looked through the glass on the door at the scene in the hallway. It was quite a spectacle outside, with over a dozen bodyguards standing at the door.

There were their people, and there were Qi Heng's people.

It seems all bodyguards in the world have the same attire—black suits and sunglasses.

Qi Heng sat in the middle of them, looking very imposing.

He had maintained the same posture for an hour already.

Qi Heng's patience remained, but Yun Qitian was losing his.

He pushed the door open and went out, saying to Qi Heng: "You should go back first. When Ranran wakes up, I'll tell her you were here."

"No!"

He shook his head: "I said I would wait here, so I must wait until she wakes up. Don't talk about an hour; I can wait for a day."

Yun Qitian didn't like him acting cool and looking so smug.

She mocked, "Oh, so now you remember that your word should count? Where were you before? If you hadn't gone back on your word and hurt Shi Ran's heart back then, why would you have ended up in this state today?"

"Hypocritical."

Qi Heng did not argue; there was nothing to explain, as everything she said was true.

These were all things he had done, and naturally, he had to pay for the sins he had committed himself.

Yun Qitian returned, but he was still sitting in the hallway waiting.

The doctor came over.

The doctor urged him to go back, saying this was the wish of Madam Sheng.

Madam Sheng's wish was not just for him to stop sitting at the door waiting, but also that he would transfer hospitals and go to another hospital to recuperate.

He refused it all and just sat at the door waiting.

During this time, the hallway was very busy, and many people came: Jian Yixin, Ji Yingjie, Wan'er...

Everyone had different methods, but the meaning in their words was the same: they all wanted Qi Heng not to harass Shi Ran and to stay away from her.

Nighttime.

Shi Ran opened her eyes, stretched comfortably, and saw that it was already dark outside.

Yun Qitian came over, his smile slightly unnatural: "Go back to sleep, it's time for bed."

"I'm not sleeping anymore; if I sleep any more, I'll turn into a pig."

Shi Ran felt hungry and asked for food: "Is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry."

"You're still eating?"

Yun Qitian said, "There's nothing left. You ate so much this afternoon that I was worried you wouldn't digest it. Can you really still eat?"

"I can. I'm hungry. Have the nurse go buy me something to eat—just get some rice noodle rolls, and I also want potstickers, millet porridge, and wontons in chili oil."

Shi Ran usually didn't have a small appetite, yet no matter how much she ate, she wouldn't gain weight; it was an enviable constitution.

Because of her health these past few days, her appetite had been much smaller, but today, whether it was because she was in a good mood or some other reason, her appetite was exceptionally good.

"Fine, I'll have the nurse go buy it for you." Yun Qitian went out, looking a bit reluctant.

It sounded like someone was talking outside, and it sounded like that person.

When Yun Qitian returned, Shi Ran asked, "Who were you talking to outside just now?"

"The nurse, telling her to go buy the food you wanted. Can you really eat that much?"

"Don't change the subject. Besides talking to the nurse, there was another person. Who was that person?"
