Qin Hao's face darkened, and he found it hard to accept the reality. His rival in love had beco his boss, and the woman he adored was now his boss's wife.
He seed stupefied, his eyes fixed on the ground, lost in thought.
Qin Ming was panicking on the side. What was wrong with his son today? Normally, when he sees a million, he'd be more excited than when he sees , but today a rich guy is shoving twenty million at us, and this kid has no reaction at all!
Twenty million, that's a lifeti's earnings!
Worried about offending the rich Lin Tian, Qin Ming kicked Qin Hao and scolded, "Brat, hurry up and call the elegant and beautiful lady beside the tycoon 'boss's wife,' do it now!"
Lin Tian was amused again. He hadn't expected that Qin Hao, already in his twenties, was still getting kicked by his dad like a child. Seeing Qin Hao's current state, Lin Tian felt like they were putting on a cody skit for him.
"Dad, I can't say it because I like her, and I want her to be my wife," he said.
"Slap!"
A hefty slap landed on Qin Hao's face from Qin Ming, startling Bu ngting. Lin Tian quickly hugged Bu ngting, kissing and comforting her.
Qin Ming yelled, "You dare to have feelings for a tycoon's woman? Have you eaten the courage of a leopards? Apologize now and call her 'boss's wife!'"
It was clear that Qin Hao was a spineless person, lacking any real personality, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, with no choice but to cave in front of authority.
"Boss, I was wrong. Mrs. Boss, hello," Qin Hao admitted his mistake and called her 'boss's wife,' allowing Qin Ming to finally breathe easy, his expression one of obsequiousness as he said to Lin Tian, "Tycoon, are you satisfied now?"
"Satisfied. From now on, I am the boss here. All the rules remain the sa, you still manage the place, and I'll pay your salary every month. But I have two conditions. First, from now on, I forbid your son to speak a word to your boss's wife. Second, from now on, your son is not allowed to set foot in this restaurant. He kills my appetite, and I don't want him affecting the business."
"Okay, I agree," Qin Ming agreed without a second thought.
Lin Tian said, "Tell your son to leave imdiately. I want to eat. Bring all your signature dishes. I want to see how good your cooking is."
"Yes, right away," Qin Ming imdiately ordered it to be done.
Soon, plates of gourt dishes were served, and Lin Tian and Bu ngting couldn't get enough; it was as if their taste buds were lting. Bu ngting was obviously a little foodie, her little mouth like a bottomless pit, earning her the title of a big eater.
After the al, Lin Tian and Bu ngting left and walked out onto the street.
Bu ngting asked, "Husband, where did you get all this money from? Tell , did you do sothing bad again?"
Lin Tian, with an innocent face, quickly shook his head, "Of course not, little wife. Don't you trust ? How could I possibly do anything bad? This money—all of it—ca from legitimate business."
"Nonsense," Bu ngting said with disbelief etched on her face. "You've only been gone for a few days and you've made a billion. So many people are in business, why haven't I seen them making a billion too?"
Luckily the little wife hadn't seen his bank account; a billion was too much for her to handle. If she found out he had over a hundred billion, she would probably go crazy.
Lin Tian said, "The fact that I've made a billion so quickly only proves that I'm smart, capable, and talented."
Lin Tian praised himself unabashedly.
Bu ngting pouted, full of scorn, but she believed Lin Tian's words because he had brought so many miracles into her life.
Having dealt with his little wife's concerns, it was ti for Lin Tian to visit his wife proper.
Then, Lin Tian asked, "Little wife, how has Qianqian been these days while I was away?"
When He Qianqian was ntioned, not a trace of a smile remained on Bu ngting's face. She replied, "The hospital, following your instructions, has given Qianqian sister the best care. I went to see her every day these past days, but there's been no sign of improvent."
Lin Tian said, "Let's go to the hospital together to see her."
The two arrived at the hospital and found He Qianqian's ward. She was lying motionless on the bed, with a nurse closely attending to her.
Lin Tian and Bu ngting entered and asked the nurse, "How is Qianqian's condition?"
The nurse replied, "Dr. Chen visits the patient every day, has tried various therapies to stimulate her awakening, but there's no sign of consciousness. We also tell her stories every day, massage her, and flex her muscles and joints, but the therapy is minimally effective."
"Okay, thank you. It's been tough on you. Please step out for a bit, and ngting, you too. I want to spend so ti alone with Qianqian."
Bu ngting nodded, patted Lin Tian's shoulder, and left with the nurse.
Lin Tian sat beside the bed, gripping He Qianqian's hand, staring at her, and before he realized it, tears began to fall.
He was filled with regret, self-bla, guilt, and anger!
If not for him, He Qianqian would not be in this state.
If he had never entered her world, He Qianqian would still be the most beautiful and eye-catching teacher in school.
She would have beco an excellent teacher, gradually found her own lover, taught her children, and lived a worry-free, ordinary life full of warmth.
But it was because of him that He Qianqian was on a path of no return, had co close to death several tis, and now lay in a hospital bed, in a vegetative state, without a smile, without a voice, without consciousness.
Lin Tian pressed He Qianqian's hand against his own cheek, the tears falling freely. As he rembered every encounter with Qianqian, he couldn't help but laugh.
"My dear wife, rest assured, I will definitely find a cure to save you. Albert is already dead, and I will make sure Zhang Ya dies too," he declared.
Having said that, Lin Tian clenched his fist, his endless rage surging within him, his fingernails digging into his flesh, yet he felt nothing.
Just after he had finished, he suddenly felt He Qianqian's fingers twitch.
They really moved!
