Chapter 1232: I Want to Divorce and Marry You

The doctor said to Qi Heng, "President, the patient's Gu poison has been neutralized; she is fine now."

"Mm."

Qi Heng had people carry her out and changed her room.

Liu Min woke up.

She opened her eyes to a completely unfamiliar room.

It was luxurious and beautiful, somewhat like her old boudoir.

Aside from herself, there was no one else in the massive room.

Who am I?

Where am I?

Why am I lying here?

This was the first thought in Liu Min's mind after her consciousness cleared.

But she did not think for long, because a more intense sensation soon flooded in—thirst!

Extremely, extremely thirsty.

Her throat was parched and burning, as if it were about to catch fire.

She wanted to get out of bed to get water, but her bones were sore and weak, and she had no strength at all; let alone getting out of bed, she couldn't even sit up.

Fortunately, her mouth worked; although her throat was so thirsty it felt like it was smoking, she could still speak.

"Thirsty..."

Liu Min endured the pain in her throat and shouted as loudly as she could: "Someone, hurry and pour me a glass of water, I'm dying of thirst."

The door opened, and Qi Heng entered.

He poured a glass of plain water himself and fed it to her little by little with a small spoon.

She shook her head: "Don't use the spoon, it's too slow."

Liu Min opened her mouth wide, signaling Qi Heng to pour the glass of water directly into her mouth.

Vulgar.

Qi Heng thought this to himself, but he did not show it on his face at all; of course, he wouldn't actually do that either.

There was a straw on the table, prepared long ago.

He hadn't used it at first; Qi Heng did it on purpose.

The doctor said that what happened to Liu Min while she was under the Gu poison was stored in the Gu insect's memory, and she would basically have no impression of it.

So he had to leave a good impression on Liu Min in order to carry out the things he had planned.

He brought the straw over, inserted it into the glass, and Qi Heng said softly: "Drink slowly, don't choke."

Slow? What slow?

Being slow was not Liu Min's personality.

*Slurp. *

The glass of water hit the bottom.

"More."

Qi Heng went to pour water, and Liu Min called out from behind: "No need to pour it into a glass, just bring the whole pitcher."

So the pitcher was brought over, the straw was inserted, and Liu Min finished a pitcher of water very quickly!

"More!"

A pitcher of water held a full 2L, and that wasn't enough to drink?

The doctor had said that such patients needed to drink a large amount of plain water after waking up to flush out the excess toxins in their bodies.

He just didn't know how much "a large amount" was, but he would soon find out.

Qi Heng pressed the button at the head of the bed and had someone send over a barrel of water.

The kind placed on a water dispenser, enough for a family to use for two days.

Soon, the water was delivered, along with an extra-long straw!

Qi Heng's eyes widened as he watched the water in the barrel drop at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Good heavens.

Where did all that water go?

He only saw the water level dropping, but he didn't see her stomach bulging.

However, Liu Min's spirit and complexion were getting better and better, and her eyes were gradually regaining their luster.

"Urp!"

She let out a burp; she had finally had enough.

Good grief, she had drunk two-thirds of a full barrel of water.

Qi Heng asked with concern: "Do you need to use the restroom? I'll have the caregiver come in."

"No need."

Liu Min now had a stomach full of questions to ask.

"Where is this? How did I get here? What's the deal with the injuries on my body? Did you hit me?"

She asked the last question viciously.

If Qi Heng really had hit her, then he was in for it; she would definitely make him pay a price at least ten times over.

Qi Heng answered them one by one: "This is L Country, your hometown. You were brought back because my men saved you at sea; at the time, you were lying unconscious on a dilapidated little boat."

"As for who caused the injuries on your body, I don't know either. Think carefully about where you were before you lost consciousness and what happened."

He remained calm and composed, guiding her step by step.

Liu Min fell for it, just as expected.

She thought for a brief moment, then flew into a rage: "That bastard, that son of a bitch, it must be that bastard Zhu Qingrui who wants to harm me; I won't let him off."

Qi Heng feigned a look of great surprise: "You are actually with Zhu Qingrui?"

A moment later, he put on an expression of realization: "It's no surprise you'd be together; your father partnered with Zhu Qingrui to harm me, so of course you'd be with him, but why would he harm you?"

Liu Min took the bait.

She followed Qi Heng's line of reasoning.

She spoke directly about the fact that she and Zhu Qingrui were married.

"I married him, I didn't want to, but my dad wanted me to marry him; that person is very dull, not interesting at all, and we often argue..."

Qi Heng understood.

It must have been after an argument that Zhu Qingrui planted the gu poison in her.

Naturally, he would not cover for Zhu Qingrui, and said directly: "Do you know you were poisoned with gu? My doctor didn't close his eyes for twenty-four hours to save you."

"Gu poison? What is that?"

Liu Min widened her eyes; this was a term she had never heard of before.

So Qi Heng explained it to her again.

"Ugh—"

"Ugh—"

Upon hearing that gu poison meant putting bugs into her own body, Liu Min was immediately disgusted and couldn't help but lean over the side of the bed and retch.

"Stop talking, it's too disgusting."

"Alright."

Qi Heng changed the subject: "The poison in your body has just been cleared, so get some good rest; if you need anything, just have the caregiver find me."

He went out and instructed the caregiver: "Take good care of Miss Liu; Miss Liu saved my life, she is my savior, you must not treat Miss Liu with the slightest negligence just because her father harmed me!"

Liu Min heard all of these words and was very moved.

In the days that followed, she indeed received the best care and the most thoughtful concern.

She ate well, drank well, and slept well.

Liu Min's own physical constitution was exceptionally good, and a good body recovers quickly.

After the whip marks on her body scabbed over, Qi Heng personally brought over some ointment.

He told her it was a secret recipe, and its effect on whitening skin and removing scars was excellent!

Besides this, in every aspect of life, Qi Heng also took great care of Liu Min, which moved her deeply.

She asked Qi Heng: "Why are you so good to me? Is it because you like me?"

"I can divorce Zhu Qingrui and then marry you; I didn't like him to begin with."

Qi Heng:...

He really wanted to turn around and leave.

This woman was truly thick-skinned and really dared to think such things.

On what grounds did she think that, having already been married and being the daughter of an L Country traitor, she could still be worthy of him?

But the big picture was what mattered.

So he didn't leave, his face full of awkwardness.

Liu Min saw it, and even she, with her thick nerves, felt a bit embarrassed.

"Hehe, I was just saying it casually, just take it as a joke and don't mind it."

Qi Heng: "Xiao Min, there is something I have been wanting to tell you, but I don't know how to say it..." The topic was shifted very successfully.

Liu Min said: "Tell me, what is it?"

Qi Heng: "Your father has unfortunately passed away."

He wore a look of grief, making it impossible to tell if it was real or fake.

Liu Min's body swayed violently, and she almost fainted!

"Impossible! This can't be true! You're lying to me, right? Yes, you must be lying to me; he won't die, he has been through so many things, he has seen all kinds of great storms and waves, he has turned danger into safety so many times, this time he just went to Jiangzhou to gather intelligence, he won't die, it's impossible for him to die..."
