All Chapters of COLD MR. QING WANTS ME AGAIN: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

A painful lump formed in my throat the moment Qing Han began speaking. Since he thought he couldn’t hurt me enough, he had decided to target my friends.First, I knew that if he really investigated, he would find out that the report was forged. Then he would find out about Tuan Tuan.He was going to have a very good reason to take my child away from me. I didn’t want to be away from Tuan Tuan.But what scared me most was Xiao Yu’s career. That was forgery. Even if she didn’t go to prison, she would lose her job. No hospital would ever employ her again.I could play around with my career, but I wasn’t going to do that to Xiao Yu. She was one of the few true friends I had in the world. She was more like my sister.And her mom depended on her. I would have broken both their hearts if I let Qing Han hurt them.I swallowed hard and looked at him. “I’ll do whatever you want. Just leave my friends out of this.”Qing Han scoffed again. It was like he really enjoyed everything that was happeni

I went to work on time, and Mr. Zhong was so happy to see me. “I’m so glad he changed his mind,” he said, referring to Qing Han.I could only nod in agreement. “Yeah, me too.”I didn’t want to go into details about what had really transpired between Qing Han and me.In the morning, I was inducted a bit before being allowed to interact with a few patients.But at noon, we all gathered in the hall to welcome the new owner of First National Hospital.Most of the employees, especially the female nurses and doctors, were so excited, all giggling about how handsome Qing Han was.I, on the other hand, stood at the back of the crowd, barely wanting to be noticed by him.As usual, his speech wasn’t long. He just told us a few words about how he expected cooperation and teamwork from us. He also promised that First National Hospital would go back to being the best in the country within a few months.“I’ll be coming to work here for a few weeks. I hope we can all work together peacefully,” he sa

Qing Han didn’t let me off easily. He kept choking me, his eyes the darkest I had ever seen.“Why? Why did you do it? Why did you kill my baby and immediately get pregnant with another man’s child?” he demanded.For the first time, I thought he sounded hurt. But I didn’t pity him. He had hurt me more. He was even hurting me at that very moment.“You… you’re hurting me,” I gasped, struggling for breath.But he only looked back at me, his expression cold and unfeeling. “Yeah, that’s what I intend to do…”I struggled harder, and the noise must have been heard from outside.Tuan Tuan began pounding on the door. “Are you okay, Mommy? He’s hurting my mommy! Mommy!” he shouted.Qing Han must have come back to his senses then. He released me and took a few steps back.I slid down to the floor, clutching my neck and gasping for air. “You’re an animal, Qing Han!” I managed to say.But that only made him take another step toward me, and I quickly pushed myself up from the floor.“Oh? You think s

I pursed my lips and quickly pulled Tuan Tuan away. “Hey, don't say such things. People might misunderstand…” “But… he was the bully. He was trying to hurt you, Mama. It's a good thing you beat him up.” “No,” I shook my head at him. “I did not beat him up, Tuan Tuan. That man is sick. I only tried to help.” He was just a child and might have a different view of the whole situation. To him, Qing Han was a bully and deserved whatever had befallen him. But when I explained the situation to him, his face turned embarrassed. “Did I cause trouble for you?” he asked in a low voice. I shook my head. “No, you didn’t. My troubles with him began long before you were even born.” Tuan Tuan seemed even more confused. “Have you known him for that long? Why does he hate you?” I sighed. Children always saw things just the way they were. I was convinced that Qing Han hated me. But I couldn’t let my son live with those thoughts. “He doesn’t hate me. You got it all wrong,” I explained. One thing

…After getting rid of Qing An Xin, I sighed in relief and decided to check on Tuan Tuan. I had been worried that he wouldn’t be comfortable sleeping in the hospital. I thought Xiao Yu would pick him up before he fell asleep, but she had called to inform me that she’d have to stay at work until late. So I found an empty room for Tuan Tuan to sleep while I worked. I hadn’t gone to check on him earlier because Qing An Xin had been following me around, and I wanted to keep my son as far away from him as possible. People like Qing An Xin, those who talked a lot and with everyone, were capable of digging out even the deepest secrets. I could fool Qing Han, but I knew it would only take a few minutes before either Tuan Tuan or I slipped up in front of Qing An Xin. I didn’t even want to imagine what would happen if he had the slightest suspicion about Tuan Tuan. I wasn’t willing to take that risk. If I had known he would be at the hospital today, I would have kept Tuan Tuan far, far a
