After the tycoon went bankrupt, he was raised by the villainous female supporting character and beca

She returned quite a while later.

—How can you help me?

"Cough, cough cough cough..."

Just as Qin Song was about to reply, Pei Xingzhi on the bed suddenly woke up coughing. Qin Song quickly put down her phone and, with her heavy pregnant belly, went to the bedside.

“Xiao Song…” Pei Xingzhi opened his eyes weakly and gently took Qin Song’s hand with the hand that wasn’t on an IV drip. “Xiao Song, I want to drink water.”

Qin Song grabbed his hand and was about to hand him some water when she noticed the oxygen mask still on his face.

Only doctors can move the oxygen mask. Although Qin Song felt sorry for Pei Xingzhi, he did not dare to take it off for him rashly.

She patted Pei Xingzhi's hand reassuringly, then leaned down to him and said, "Xingzhi, you're still wearing an oxygen mask, so I don't know how to give you water. Wait for me a moment, I'll go get the doctor."

Pei Xingzhi nodded weakly: "Okay, I'll wait for you. Take your time and don't rush."

"Okay." Qin Song put his hand back, turned around and quickly walked out of the ward to call the doctor in the office.

The doctor came over, checked Pei Xingzhi's condition, and then promptly removed the oxygen mask.

"Mr. Pei woke up early and is recovering well; the oxygen mask is no longer needed. If family members want to give him water, they can do it themselves."

"What about feeding them?"

Pei's mother had just returned from buying breakfast when she overheard the doctor's words at the ward door, so she quickly asked what was going on.

The attending physician smiled and said, "You can feed him yourselves, but please be careful. Mr. Pei can only eat light, low-salt foods right now. The food should not be too dry or too hard; try to make it as soft as possible."

Pei's mother wrote down everything, not daring to miss a single word: "Okay, okay, thank you, doctor."

The doctor waved his hand: "I'm leaving now. Call me in my office if you need anything."

"Thank you for your help, doctor." Pei's mother saw the doctor to the door, then closed the door behind her and came back to help Qin Song feed Pei Xingzhi water.

Pei Xingzhi was fully awake. After drinking a full glass of water, he was able to sit up on the headboard of the hospital bed and talk to his mother with a clear mind.

Pei's mother fed him spoonful by spoonful of the freshly bought vegetable porridge. At the same time, she didn't forget to check on Qin Song.

"Xiao Song, I bought you your favorite custard buns. Go get them after you finish your porridge."

Qin Song held his phone, replying to Shen Yan's message while saying, "Okay, thank you, Mom."

Shen Yanhui asked too many questions, and Pei Xingzhi quickly lost patience after a few replies. Seeing that Pei Xingzhi was doing well, she simply invited Shen Yanhui out.

—Let's meet at Qiaomu Cafe at 4 PM this afternoon to chat.

Shen Yan replied: Okay.

Today is Thursday, the day Qin Song and Duan Jialu had arranged to meet and sign the contract. Qin Song took the initiative to invite Shen Yanhui out because he figured he might as well get both things done at once since he was going out anyway.

After finishing breakfast, Pei's mother took a few dirty clothes into the bathroom. The contract signing was scheduled for 11:00 AM, so Qin Song could leave now.

But Pei Xingzhi had just woken up and was very clingy to her, so she really couldn't bear to leave the ward now.

"Xiao Song".

Just as she was struggling with how to start the conversation, Pei Xingzhi suddenly raised his hand and gently touched her forehead.

"Hmm?" She smiled and looked up at Pei Xingzhi with tender eyes. "What's wrong?"

Pei Xingzhi asked, "Are you going out on errands?"

"How...how did you know?" Qin Song was somewhat shocked.

Pei Xingzhi smiled and said, "I guessed. If you're going, go quickly and don't waste time."

Qin Song frowned, feeling reluctant: "But you just woke up, I don't want to leave you here alone."

"It's alright." Pei Xingzhi's fingers slid up her brow, smoothing out the wrinkles. "If you have important business to attend to, you should go ahead and do it. Mom is here to look after me, so everything will be fine."

"But before you leave, you have to give me something."

Qin Song: "What?"

Pei Xingzhi withdrew his finger and instead touched his pale lips: "You've taken off the oxygen mask. Shouldn't you give me back what you owe me?"

"This..." Qin Song's face flushed instantly. She did want to give it to him, but after all, she had never taken the initiative when it came to kissing. Pei Xingzhi's sudden request made her feel quite embarrassed.

"Mom is still in the hospital room, this isn't right."

Pei Xingzhi raised one eyebrow slantedly, his gentle and handsome features instantly taking on a roguish air: "Mom's in the bathroom, she can't see me."

"..." Qin Song suddenly had no reason to argue.

Seeing that she hadn't made a move, Pei Xingzhi deliberately put on airs and asked with a cold and arrogant expression, "What? Could it be that Xiao Song just said those promises last night to coax me? You don't actually want to keep them at all?"

Qin Song puffed out her cheeks, looking adorable: "I didn't..."

Pei Xingzhi tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth, feigning anger: "No? Then why didn't you keep your promise?"

Qin Song bit her lip, her heart pounding like a drum. Pei Xingzhi glanced at her coldly, clearly genuinely displeased.

She clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and although she was both shy and timid, she finally stood up and leaned closer to Pei Xingzhi.

Pei Xingzhi stared at her with clear eyes, as if she were his prey. Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, she could only stop what she was doing and whisper, "Close your eyes."

Pei Xingzhi was quite obedient; he closed his eyes immediately when told to.

Only then did Qin Song have the courage to continue approaching...

Soft lips pressed against Pei Xingzhi's like feathers. Pei Xingzhi's lips were a little dry, and Qin Song felt a slight prickling sensation when she touched them.

Qin Song still doesn't know how to kiss. The only kiss she can give is a simple touch, and then she tries to back away and run away.

But Pei Xingzhi couldn't let her escape. He suddenly raised his hand, held the back of Qin Song's head, and pressed it down slightly. At the same time, he opened his lips and physically demonstrated to Qin Song how to kiss her husband.

"hiss--"

This kiss, filled with longing and possessiveness, ended with Qin Song being bitten.

Qin Song covered his mouth, frowning and glaring at Pei Xingzhi: "You bit me?"

Pei Xingzhi curled his lips into a wicked smile.

Qin Song angrily took two steps back: "Are you a dog in disguise?"

Pei Xingzhi blinked: "If Xiao Song thinks I am, then I am."

"..." Qin Song's lips burned from being bitten, and the heartache she felt for Pei Xingzhi just moments before vanished in an instant.

"I'm not letting you kiss me." She picked up her bag, turned around, and walked straight out of the ward.

Pei Xingzhi called out to her retreating figure, "Be careful and come back soon."

Qin Song deliberately contradicted him: "My ears are dry, I can't hear you!"

"Hmph..." Pei Xingzhi wanted to laugh because of her, but laughing made his wounds hurt.

He raised his hand to cover his throbbing ribs, and involuntarily recalled the last words Qin Wushuang said to him before he lost consciousness.
