ST3YC Chapter 131

Shrank to a 3-Years-Old Child Chapter 131: Another Wave Rises

His trembling hands gripped the steering wheel, only to be suddenly grabbed by someone.

Fu Heng looked up and met a familiar face: “Wen Qi?”

“You’re not in the right condition to drive. Let me drive, and I’ll borrow your car to give us a ride.”

Without saying a word, Wen Hao pulled Fu Heng out of the driver’s seat and told him to go to the back seat to stay with Gu Qingqing. He then helped the person in his arms into the passenger seat and then got into the driver’s seat.

The car started up with a deep roar.

The next moment, it shot off like an arrow released from a bow.

Qingqing collapsed into Fu Heng’s arms, her eyes tightly closed, her face slightly contorted. It was unclear what she had dreamt about while unconscious, but it was impossible to tell what caused such a strong reaction from her.

Han Weilan saw Qingqing’s condition through the rearview mirror and felt a little anxious. She quickly rummaged through her bag, took out a bottle of ointment, and handed it to Fu Heng.

“Apply it to her temples and under her nose to soothe Qingqing’s emotions.”

After holding it up for a while, seeing that Fu Heng didn’t take it, Han Weilan took the medicine back with a not-so-pleasant expression, wiped it under her nose, and handed it to him again: “Is this okay now?”

“Thank you.” This time, Fu Heng finally accepted the medicine. He applied it to Qingqing as Han Weilan had instructed, and sure enough, Qingqing’s complexion improved considerably after a short while.

“What kind of medicine is this?”

“It’s just ordinary herbal ointment.”

It can refresh and clear the mind. Whenever Qingqing is in a bad mood, she likes to apply it, saying that it makes her feel much better.

After this little incident, the car fell silent.

Fu Heng’s attention was entirely focused on Qingqing, and he had no interest in paying attention to anyone else.

Han Weilan felt she had nothing to say to anyone in the car, so she consciously kept quiet.

Wen Qi wanted to say a few words of concern to Han Weilan, but judging from her expression, he knew that she had no desire to talk to him, so he had to give up on the idea.

He focused on driving, taking everyone in the car to the nearest hospital.

Fortunately, there was a hospital inside the university town, which was an affiliated hospital of a medical school and had a very high level of medical expertise. It was just right to send Qingqing and the others there.

As soon as Qingqing entered the hospital, she was taken away by the emergency room doctor, and Fu Heng went with her.

Wen Qi wanted to ask Han Weilan to get a full body check-up as well, but she refused.

“I can feel where there is a problem with my body. I’m not injured, so I don’t need to do any tests.”

As Han Weilan was about to leave, Wen Qi grabbed her wrist.

“Even if you don’t get it checked, you should at least treat the wound.”

Looking down, Han Weilan lowered her head and saw her left side.

The stockings had a large hole right at the knee, exposing blood-stained skin with the skin peeled off.

It’s probably just a minor scrape from the fall. It looks scary, but it’s not serious. It’s just a small cut. You can disinfect it and apply some medicine when you get home.

After making the assessment, Han Weilan tried to leave again, but Wen Qi forcefully picked her up around the waist: “We’re already at the hospital, do you still want to run away?”

“Hey! Put me down!” Han Weilan struggled instinctively, but met Wen Qi’s dark eyes.

He stared intently at the restless woman in his arms, lowering his voice slightly to threaten, “Do you want me to tell Mom you’re being naughty?”

The “Mom” he referred to was Han Weilan’s mother.

Han Weilan has always been filial and can’t stand her mother’s nagging, so this threat is more effective than anything else when used against her.

Sure enough, she immediately quieted down upon hearing this, though her face flushed red as she glared angrily at the man in front of her, and a faint sound of her gritting her teeth could be heard.

“How old are you? Why are you acting like a child tattling?”

Her son is more mature than this scoundrel!

Wen Qi wasn’t afraid of her bluffing act. He even gave her a provocative smirk: “Putting aside the beginning and end, I’m exactly three years old this year. How about you, little sister?”

“Go to hell with you! You shameless bastard.”

The only people who could force Han Weilan to swear so rudely over the years, besides Fu Heng, was this deadbeat in front of her.

“Sweetie, take good care of your wound, otherwise your son will worry when he sees it when we get back.”

With gentle movements, Wen Qi placed Han Weilan on the hospital bed, took the medicine brought by the nurse, and carefully cleaned and bandaged her wounds.

Han Weilan looked down and could only see the cowlick on the top of the man’s head and his focused expression.

She felt a pang of bitterness in her heart and forced herself to look away.

If he had treated her like this a few years ago, they wouldn’t have ended up like this today.

***

Qingqing woke up very quickly.

She regained consciousness almost the instant she was taken to the emergency room.

Upon waking, she looked around at the group of people in confusion: “Who are you?”

“Qingqing!” Upon hearing Qingqing’s voice, Fu Heng immediately pushed through the crowd, came to her side, and tightly held her hand.

“Fu Heng?” After recognizing the person in front of her, Qingqing was even more puzzled: “How did we get here? Is the movie over?”

Upon hearing this, Fu Heng’s heart sank, but he did not show any unusual expression on the surface.

He gently stroked Qingqing’s cheek, and in a flash, he crafted an explanation: “You just…

“You suddenly fainted halfway through the movie. I tried calling you but you wouldn’t wake up, so I had to bring you to the hospital.”

Just then, the doctor finished diagnosing Qingqing and promptly added to Fu Heng’s words: “The patient’s brief fainting was caused by excessive fear.”

“No way?” Qingqing looked like she’d been struck by lightning. “How could I possibly be afraid of horror movies?”

She was so easily frightened by such a small thing; how fragile is she?

“But you still fainted.” Fu Heng pretended to be helpless: “Be good, we’ll never watch horror movies again.”

“…Okay.” Qingqing, still feeling that something was amiss, agreed with a blush on her face.

It wasn’t that she was shy, but rather that she heard the nurses around her secretly laughing.

She fainted from fright while watching a horror movie; well, she’s really providing the hospital with some new year’s worth of laughs.

Qingqing, her face blank, struggled to get discharged from the hospital.

She felt she couldn’t stay in that hospital for even a second longer—no, not even 0.1 seconds.How embarrassing!

She was mainly frightened; there was nothing wrong with her physically. After the examination, the doctor let her go.

As if her back was on fire, Qingqing hurriedly dragged Fu Heng away.

She’s going to leave, she’ll never come back to this shameful place again.

They got home close to midnight.

The house was quiet. The bodyguards and nannies had long gone to sleep, and her two sons hadn’t come home at all. Qingqing dragged her exhausted body upstairs, took a shower, and went to bed.

She didn’t even have the energy to climb into Fu Heng’s bed.

As Qingqing’s breathing gradually became longer and more even.

A soft sound of a doorknob turning was heard, followed by the slow opening of the tightly closed door, revealing a dark shadow behind it.

The slanting moonlight stretched the shadow infinitely, winding all the way to Qingqing, casting a deep silhouette.

With a series of light footsteps, the shadow gradually approached, came to Qingqing’s bedside, bent down, carefully picked her up, and carried her back to his room to put her down.

“Now I can’t sleep without you.”

A soft whisper faded into the night, followed by two even breaths.

The car accident left no impression on Qingqing.

Because she had forgotten everything, Fu Heng deliberately blocked all news about the incident, even handling the routine police questioning separately.

So Qingqing had no idea from beginning to end that she had experienced a terrifying car accident and almost lost her life.

Just because she didn’t know doesn’t mean others didn’t know.

Everyone who should know about this received it.

The relevant information was kept secret, but what shouldn’t be known was also kept completely hidden.

At least in the past few days, Qingqing hasn’t seen any gossip about herself while using her phone.

The rumors about Wang Shuzhi have long been clarified after the Fu Group aggressively acquired several media companies.

Everyone was as quiet as chickens.

The entertainment industry is a place where things change very quickly, not only the people in it, but also the news.

Today, Wang Shuzhi was embroiled in a hot scandal, tomorrow another celebrity will be exposed for cheating, and then another celebrity will be accused of domestic violence and publicly attack their partner online.

Then came a series of scandals, keeping the gossip lovers busy. Who would bother with these old news stories?

Not to mention the general public, Qingqing herself was thoroughly enjoying the gossip.

She has recently been ordered to stay at home again.

If you have nothing to do, all you can do is play on your phone and play games.

Using this opportunity, Qingqing also invited a few of her college roommates out for a meal.

As her memories returned, she also realized the trouble her long-term disappearance had caused her family.

Although she hasn’t fully recovered yet, showing her face in public more often, letting people know that Gu Qingqing is alive and well, is better than some unreliable speculations from malicious people.

When her roommate, Ms Zhang, came to her to decide on a place for their get-together,

Qingqing had a sudden idea and chose the private restaurant owned by Han Weilan.

Lanlan has been clearly avoiding her lately.

Regardless of whether the two can remain friends in the end, Qingqing feels that they should at least meet and have a good talk before breaking off their friendship.

Even if you break up, shouldn’t you make things clear and unambiguous?

Ms. Zhang replied quickly, saying it was okay, and she would also help notify the other girls in her dormitory so that Qingqing could be there on time for the appointment.

[Qingqing is a rich woman: Don’t worry, I definitely won’t be late.]

[Manager Zhang: OK, see you then.]

[Qingqing is a rich woman: See you then.]

The agreed-upon dinner time is this Saturday.

Saturdays are holidays for both work and school, so agreeing to meet at this time is convenient for everyone.

Qingqing got up early in the morning to dress up, striving to appear beautiful in front of her friends.

She changed into a bright red dress, put on light makeup, and styled her hair in an updo, securing it with a diamond hair clip.

After getting dressed, Qingqing looked at herself in the mirror from left to right, feeling that something was missing. She frowned slightly and said, “Why does something feel off?”

As she pondered, she felt a cool sensation on her neck, and a dazzling diamond necklace was placed around her neck.

“You’re missing a piece of jewelry that best complements your style.”
