at her mother was still in his hands, she was determined to die. She was truly desperate.How could he possibly make her dieHe closed his eyes heavily, his fingers gripping Fu Yan's wrist tightly, then...Li Qin left Qin Heng's hospital on the third day of Lunar New Year and returned to her villa. Qi Ce came every night to apply medicine to her whip wounds.

His fingers were a little cold, but surprisingly they had a soothing effect, and Li Qin gradually relaxed.

Until Qi Ce's fingertips landed on her lower abdomen, "The scar from the appendicitis surgery is still there."

Li Qin's eyes flickered slightly, she hummed absentmindedly, and the hand resting beside her bed unconsciously clenched into a fist.

"Good thing you're not prone to scarring, it won't get worse."

Qi Ce applied medicine to her whip wounds, helped her up, dressed her in a silk nightgown, and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with paper.

He said with concern, "Does it hurt You've sweated so much."

Li Qin smiled weakly, "It's fine, you don't have to come every day. Aren't you preparing to leave Nancheng How is the asset transfer going"

Qi Ce stroked her hair, tenderly and with concern. "Just focus on getting well," he said softly. "We'll be able to leave in about ten days."

Li Qin's mouth twitched slightly. She gave Qi Ce a meaningful look, "Foolproof"

"Of course." Qice smirked, pulling her into his embrace. "Little Qin, from now on, we'll be together forever. I'll make those who hurt you pay, one by one, they'll all go to hell."

Ten days....

Li Qin's hand gently touched her abdomen, feeling the white scar beneath her pants.

Early on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, shortly after Qi Ce left, Li Qin got out of bed.

The nanny was just about to make breakfast for Li Qin when she suddenly heard footsteps. She instinctively turned her head and saw Li Qin in a white silk nightgown standing behind her, scaring her almost into screaming.

"Ms. Li, why are you here so early..."

Li Qin responded with a soft "Hmm," "Can you get me the ingredients for making the cake"

The nanny was taken aback, "Are you making a cake"

"Do whatever I say," Li Qin frowned, her voice cold. "Don't ask anything else."

The nanny shut her mouth and went to prepare the materials.

When making the cake batter, Li Qin suddenly pushed away the ingredients. She propped her hands on the countertop, bowed her head, and breathed lightly before straightening up and leaving the kitchen.

The nanny cautiously glanced around,

Is this not what you intended to do

But she didn't dare to ask.

Ms. Li's mood was unpredictable, and she was afraid of saying the wrong thing and angering her. If it weren't for the fact that the wages offered by the Huo family were twice as high as those outside, she wouldn't have taken this job!

Li Qin went upstairs to change her clothes, washed up, and then went downstairs to tell the driver to prepare the car.

After getting out of the car, Li Qin took off her sunglasses, glanced at the gate of Guli Welfare Institute, and walked in. The security guard recognized her, the Miss Li who had come here with Mr. Huo Mingzheng last time.

As soon as she walked in, the security guard notified the director.

To his surprise, a hand reached in from the window, pressing down on the telephone receiver. He was startled to see it was Li Qin, who had returned.

"Miss Li"

Li Qin smiled faintly, "I just came to have a look around. It's the new year, so don't bother the director. You've worked hard. Take this money and buy some wine to warm yourself up."

The security guard said goodbye and hung up the phone.

At this time, the children were still having breakfast. Li Qin walked to the dormitory building and, relying on her memory, found that room. She glanced at the small bed in the middle, with a rabbit doll on the bedside.

A finger ran over the pillow, a single strand of soft hair.

Her eyes welled up unexpectedly, and suddenly a crisp, milky voice rang out, "Who are you"d and walked to the side with him.Qin Heng gave her a cup of warm milk, handing it to her. "Drink this while you listen to me. If you feel uncomfortable, have a sip of milk to soothe your stomach."Fu...
