The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Qiao Ning was still unconscious, but her condition had stabilized.

The doctor told them, “A gentleman brought her to the hospital. Once the staff started to revive her, he left your phone number, Miss Hai, and then left.”

Hai Xiaotang asked in surprise, “Do you know who he is?”

The doctor shook his head, “I don’t know. But he saved her. He was completely drenched when he brought her here and almost collapsed himself.”

After the doctor left, Hai Xiaotang asked Dongfang Yu in puzzlement, “Was it Chai Xiyang who saved Qiao Ning?”

Because he was the only one who knew both Qiao Ning and her.

Dongfang Yu nodded, “Yes, it should be him.”

“But why didn’t he stay? They are siblings after all.” Even though there was no blood relation between them.

Dongfang Yu knew a bit about the past between Chai Xiyang and Qiao Ning.

“Maybe that’s all he could do,” he said quietly.

Hai Xiaotang asked, puzzled, “What do you mean? Why can he only do that much?”

“They had some issues in the past. I’m not very clear about the details, but it significantly altered Chai Xiyang’s personality.”

Hai Xiaotang was surprised and even more curious about what had actually transpired between Qiao Ning and him.

But for now, the most important thing was to wait for Qiao Ning to regain consciousness.

Qiao Ning didn’t stay unconscious for long. She woke up soon and upon seeing Hai Xiaotang by her bedside, she blankly asked, “Xiaotang, am I not dead?” Hai Xiaotang quickly replied, “Qiao Ning, you’re fine, you’re still alive, you’re still living well!”

Qiao Ning laughed self-deprecatingly, “I actually didn’t die…”

She had finally mustered the courage to end her own life, but she didn’t die!

“Qiao Ning, what’s wrong with you? Why were you trying to kill yourself? What happened? Tell me, I’ll help you sort it out!” Hai Xiaotang asked with concern. Qiao Ning’s eyes reddened, and she said sorrowfully, “I just don’t want to live anymore, I don’t know what the point of living is…”

“Qiao Ning, what exactly happened?” Hai Xiaotang asked softly, “Why were you attempting suicide? Don’t you know life is precious?”

Especially for her, who had already experienced death once, life was all the more precious.

In her eyes, nothing was worth taking one’s own life for.

“Qiao Ning, if you trust me, tell me about your pain. I’ll help you share your burden. But from now on, no attempting suicide again, being alive is better than anything else!” Hai Xiaotang tried to counsel her again.

At her words of concern, tears immediately welled up in Qiao Ning’s eyes.

She suddenly pushed herself up and tightly hugged Hai Xiaotang, breaking into a sob!

Hai Xiaotang was slightly stunned by Qiao Ning’s grief and sorrow…

“Qiao Ning, go ahead and cry. You’ll feel better after crying it out.” She gently patted her on her back, comforting her softly.

As expected, Qiao Ning cried a hearty cry.

Only after she had cried to her heart’s content did she begin to talk about her problems.

“Xiaotang, do you know? It’s always been just my mother and me since I was a kid. She’s my only family. I thought I was the same for her, or at least, she loved me. But why am I less important than her interests in her eyes? She schemed against me once, I thought she wouldn’t do it again, but today…”

At this point, Qiao Ning burst into tears and couldn’t continue speaking.

Hai Xiaotang anxiously asked, “What happened today?”
