Chapter 86: Her Name is Cheng Wan

Qin Yun Shu saw that his state was not right and took the tablet over: "What is this?"

"A paternity test?"

"Qin Xingwan and Wen Ping'an... have no blood relationship?" Qin Yun Shu was stunned.

She read it from beginning to end several times.

"Sister personally admitted that she was the child's mother." Qin Yun Shu's eyes were full of shock, "Why would she do this?"

Chu Li closed his eyes; actually, thinking about it, the reason was very simple.

It was because of loving the house and its crow.

The man in her heart was Wen Lvzhong, so she also liked that child.

Qin Yun Shu put down the tablet, took Chu Li's arm, and comforted him softly: "Brother, don't be sad, maybe Sister just simply likes that child."

"Besides, you have already divorced, you should let her go."

"Mingzhu knows she was wrong, will you give her a chance, okay?"

She pleaded on behalf of her good friend.

She also sincerely hoped that Chu Li could marry Cheng Mingzhu.

This way, the possibility of her being with Cheng Han in the future would be greater.

Chu Li opened his eyes, and his gaze was already as still as an ancient well.

But his heart hurt even more.

Assistant Wu spoke cautiously: "Wen Ping'an is in critical condition, and the Madam is already at the Yiyuan."

Wen Ping'an needs bone marrow, and currently, only Chu Li is a match.

This business trip will last for half a month.

Qin Yun Shu glared at Assistant Wu with dissatisfaction: "Brother has already divorced her, whatever happens to her has nothing to do with Brother."

"Brother, don't be soft-hearted."

She did not want Chu Li to go back; it would be better if that child died of illness.

The boarding announcement rang out.

Chu Li stood up.

He walked in the opposite direction.

"Go to the Yiyuan."

In the end, he was still soft-hearted.

Although Wen Ping'an's situation this time was perilous, he was at least rescued.

The small body was hooked up to instruments, looking pitiful.

Qin Xingwan had been staying by his side, terrified that if she blinked, he would have another episode.

Suddenly, a shadow fell over her.

Chu Li's familiar voice sounded above her head, "Let's talk."

Qin Xingwan looked up abruptly.

Didn't he go on a business trip?

Why did he come here?

Her lips trembled as she wanted to say something, but her throat was so dry she couldn't speak at all.

Chu Li looked at the unconscious Wen Ping'an, his tone very flat, "Tell me the reason you must save him."

He wanted to confirm whether the person in her heart was truly Wen Lvzhong.

He wanted to know the truth.

Silence spread through the air.

It lasted so long that Chu Li thought Qin Xingwan would not speak.

Tears rolled down Qin Xingwan's face, and her voice was very light and slow.

"The place where I lived caught fire back then, and Ping'an's mother died in the sea of fire to save me."

"She was my savior."

A life-saving grace should be repaid with a gushing spring.

So she wanted to save that child.

Chu Li remained unmoved.

He only pondered slightly to know that Qin Xingwan was lying.

Or rather, she had not told the whole truth.

She was hiding something.

He was very curious: since she wanted to save Wen Ping'an's life so badly, why hide it?

"Qin Xingwan, don't you want to save him? Tell the truth, and I promise to save him."

Qin Xingwan lowered her eyes, her fingers gripping the quilt tightly until her knuckles turned white.

The truth?

The truth is a knife that kills; if she said it, that knife would pierce into her own body.

She would be in unbearable pain.

But for Ping'an, she was willing.

"Her name is Cheng Wan. She was abandoned at the gate of an orphanage when she was three years old and grew up there until she was seven. The director of the orphanage was a pervert who liked to bully little girls, so she escaped from the orphanage and wandered the streets for a very, very long time."

"Later, it was... I who picked her up. At that time, I was learning perfumery from my master, so I brought her along. My master saw she had talent and also took her as a disciple, and we grew up together."

"After graduating from high school, her master fell gravely ill; she gave up on attending university and chose to stay home to care for him. At that time, she was being bullied, and it was Wen Lvzhong who saved her. They developed feelings for each other and soon had a child."

"Later on, it was just as I said before: the flower shop caught fire, and she died to save me. I escaped from the fire, handled the funeral arrangements for her and my master, and then went to the Yiyuan to find the child, but the child had already been taken away by Wen Lvzhong, and Wen Lvzhong had lost his memory."

Her complexion turned pale.

Having spoken of the unbearable past, she had rolled through the pain once more.

Chu Li, however, did not pursue the matter further.

It was as if he had accepted this explanation.

He yanked her up, his movements not particularly gentle, "Qin Xingwan, if you dare to lie to me, bear the consequences yourself."

Qin Xingwan's heart trembled; she forced herself to meet Chu Li's gaze and said softly, "Okay."

Chu Li released her, his face devoid of any particular expression, yet he emphasized, "The matter of the child still stands; you are not allowed to go back on your word."

"Okay."

Whatever Chu Li said, Qin Xingwan agreed to it.

As long as he agreed to save Ping'an.

Chu Li was about to leave, and just as his footsteps moved, his shirt was grabbed.

He lowered his head to look.

Qin Xingwan's hand gripped it tighter, her eyes surging with panic and unease, "Do you really agree?"

She was afraid he would go back on his word.

Afraid that this was just a dream.

After all, that morning he hadn't even been willing to give her a ride, leaving so coldly.

Chu Li was so angry he laughed; he wanted to sting her with a few words, but when he met her eyes, which were filled with a mist of tears, his heart suddenly softened.

Forget it.

Why bother bickering with a woman.

Chu Li eased his own mind and said indifferently, "Follow me."

Qin Xingwan stood up immediately; she instructed the nanny to take good care of Wen Ping'an and followed Chu Li out.

Chu Li went to find the doctor and stated his willingness to donate bone marrow to save Wen Ping'an.

The doctor immediately had Chu Li sign the papers and then arranged a series of examinations.

Throughout the entire process, Qin Xingwan stayed by Chu Li's side.

If Chu Li showed even the slightest impatience, she would cloud over with teary eyes.

She looked quite pitiful as well.

Once the examinations were finished, apart from the items that required time for testing, everything else was fine.

The doctor advised, "The child has just fallen ill and still needs to recuperate for a period of time for a physical assessment. During this time, President Chu, try your best not to stay up late, smoke, or drink."

"Understood." Chu Li nodded.

Leaving the doctor's office, the two walked one after the other.

Chu Li turned around: "You..."

Qin Xingwan was thinking about other things and didn't notice, bumping head-first into his rock-hard chest.

She let out an "ah," her palm covering her forehead.

Chu Li was both annoyed and amused; he took her hand away, and her forehead was red in one spot.

"I'm fine." Qin Xingwan covered her forehead again.

The white shirt perfectly hid his robust body, making him look slender and lacking in muscle.

But she knew clearly that his entire body was hard as iron.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Having argued so much, the two seemed to have forgotten how to communicate normally.

Until Qin Xingwan hurriedly dropped a sentence: "I'm going back to see Ping'an first."

She left quickly.

Chu Li watched her back, his eyes concealing emotions that were hard to read.

He called Assistant Wu.

"Go investigate the fire accident from three years ago."

"I want to know the entire truth."
