32 Emotional Roller-coaster (2/2)

Elder Qin patted his wife's back gently and chuckled lightly.

He thought his wife looked adorable as she took delight in Xiuying's revenge plot.

Qin Song listened to the conversation between his step-mother and father. He had planted a listening device when they had returned home form the hospital; whilst his father had gone to find his mother. He wanted to know what Li Xiuying had discussed with his father and he doubted that Little 4th could be persuaded to tell him.

As Qin Song listened to the conversation, he felt like he was on an emotional roller coaster.

Firstly, he felt an overwhelming emotion engulf him when he found that Li Xiuying had been engaged, it wasn't anger it was a strong sense that he didn't like the idea of Li Xiuying being with Chen Wei. Qin Song couldn't pinpoint what he was feeling but he had never felt like this before, it left a somewhat bitter taste in his mouth.

He then felt relieved when Li Xiuying had broken off the engagement but this was short lived as he didn't know whether this was because she was forced into a corner or that she didn't care for Chen Wei. Qin Song also couldn't decide who he was more disgusted with that stupid $£ard Chen Wei or the treacherous snake of a woman Li Yu Yan.

Qin Song then started thinking more deeply about Li Xiuying's situation and about when they had first met. She was dishevelled, covered in mud, blood and bits of plants and stones. She also smelt like a farmyard.

What was going on inside the Li family? How had they been treating LI Xiuying all this time?

He decided to have Cao Shan investigate. After all she is now working for the Qin family and he had to ensure her well being, of course this is a boss's duty to his employee.

Apartment 5

Li Xiuying was in bed with Little 4th laying next to her. They were both in pj's. She had finally managed to get Qin Jingfei to go to the guest room to sleep.

Li Xiuying: ”You cousin talks a lot.”

Little 4th nodded: ”She talks too much.”

He was slightly annoyed with Qin Jingfei for interrupting his time with his big sister.

She was only a tag along, it would have been better if big brother had come he talks less.

Li Xiuying: ”We'll leave at 8:15 tomorrow, I have to be at the hospital by 9 am. I only have one operation at 10 am, we can get an early lunch after I'm done.”

Li Xiuying closed her eyes and after a few moments her breathing was soft and even.

Little 4th was as excited as a puppy, he felt like he had all this pent up energy inside him. He just couldn't get to sleep.

I'm sleeping next to big Sister YingYing! This is the best night ever!

Little 4th wasn't the only one destined for a restlessness night.

Across the hallway Qin Jingfei was tossing and turning.

I can't believe I'm in the famous Dr. Li's house. I still have so much I wanted to talk about today. I'll have to make a mental list of all the topics.

I'll have to ask about the new laparoscopic camera she created and the..

What Qin Jingfei failed to remember was that her husband and daughter were due to arrive tomorrow afternoon and she had to pick them up from the airport.
