I saw Qi Yuan's mother. She was thin, with sunken eye sockets, making her eyes look big.

When she saw me, she exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Jing?"

Then she quickly got out of bed and stumbled towards me, embracing me and bursting into tears.

I also shed tears.

I thought of my mother's warm embrace.

As Qi's mother cried, she said, "You're going abroad, and Mom agrees. Whatever you do, Mom agrees. Mom won't stop you. Will you stop avoiding Mom in the future?"

I hugged her and said, "I'm not leaving, Mom. I'll always be by your side."

Qi Yuan nodded gratefully at me.

Every day, I went to the hospital to accompany Qi Yuan's mother.

One day, as I got off Qi Yuan's car, I ran into Chi Yu.

He came rushing over in shock, grabbing me and asking, "Yue Yue, did you break up with me because of Vice President Qi?"

I pushed him away and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have nothing to do with Vice President Qi."

He grabbed me again and questioned, "Then why were you with him?"

I pushed his hand away and said, "Chi Yu, we've already broken up. It's none of your business what I do. Even if I have a boyfriend, it's none of your business. I hope you won't bother me anymore."

Qi Yuan walked up to me, and though he didn't say a word, his strong presence made Chi Yu hesitate to pull me again.

Chi Yu humbly said, "Yue Yue, it's been a long time. Are you over your anger? I promise I'll change, I promise to love you well. Will you come back with me?"

I looked at him calmly and said, "Chi Yu, I don't want us to become enemies. If you don't want me to hate you, keep your distance from me!"

I went into the hospital with Qi Yuan.

Chi Yu followed, but he said, "I'm here to get a health check. My stomach hasn't been feeling well these past few days."

I felt somewhat gloomy.

Ever since he started smoking and drinking, I've been taking special care of his stomach.

It seems that during the time I moved out, he didn't take good care of his stomach.

But that's his business, and I don't need to inquire anymore.

I spent some time with Qi Yuan's mother, and when I came out for some fresh air, I saw Chi Yu standing outside.

He angrily said, "You lied to me again? Now that you've climbed the social ladder, no matter how hard I try, you won't turn back, right?"

I didn't want to explain to him. "Yes, I won't turn back."
