A skin-thirsty episode occurred, in her brother's arms.

On the plane, Xu Xingchen glanced at Qin Ge several times without saying anything, but simply moved closer to him and pressed herself against him.

Qin Ge took the opportunity to hug Xu Xingchen and rub against him repeatedly.

Xu Xingchen patted his head.

As soon as the plane landed, they arrived at the hospital.

Qin Siyuan was not seen at the hospital; only Yun Ci was there keeping watch.

Qin Bei lay on the bed, his body covered in tubes.

The electrocardiogram monitor is beeping.

It sounded like someone came in.

He struggled to open his eyes and saw Qin Ge and Xu Xingchen.

He raised his hand and waved to the two of them.

Xu Xingchen hadn't seen Qin Bei for a long time. The last time he saw him, he was in relatively good health, but now he was lying in bed, exhausted and lifeless, like a tree whose life force had been drained.

"You've arrived."

He spoke as if he had used up all his strength, and his hand fell limp again.

Xu Xingchen and Qin Bei weren't very familiar with each other. In his memory, Qin Bei was a kind old man, and it was also clear that he liked Qin Ge.

But some things, once they've happened, are gone, and nothing you do can change them.

Yun Ci winked at Xu Xingchen, leaving the ward to Qin Ge and Qin Bei.

Since the man was about to die, Yun Ci didn't want to argue with him too much at this time.

Yun Ci stood in the corridor, carefully observing Xu Xingchen.

Xu Xingchen felt a little uncomfortable, and carefully thought back to himself. He didn't think he had any marks on his body.

It's quite embarrassing if the elders find out about this.

Unable to bear Yun Ci's gaze, he broke the silence first, "Aunt Ci."

Yun Ci stroked her chin, staring at him. "Xingxing, how have you been lately? You seem to be in better health than you were in China."

She hadn't gained much weight, but her complexion and energy were much better than when she last saw Xu Xingchen.

Xu Xingchen didn't dare to think about it too much and gave a vague reply.

Yun Ci looked at Xu Xingchen with a gossipy expression, "You and that bastard have completely talked things out and are together now? You just forgave him like that?"

Yun Ci had wanted to ask this for a long time, but she had held it in for so long before finally asking.

Xu Xingchen: "Well...more or less."

It's just missing a catalyst.

Xu Xingchen didn't know how to start the conversation.

He was greedy; he wanted too much. He would only take the initiative after he was completely certain of Qin Ge's thoughts.

He didn't want Qin Ge to have any chance of escaping.

The net he wove was mostly finished; now he was just waiting to haul it in.

Yun Ci, being a loving mother, began to offer Xu Xingchen advice and strategies.

Give him some dating tips.

If she could write a book, it would be about the years she spent adrift in the forest.

Xu Xingchen knew that Yun Ci was doing quite well after her divorce, but he didn't expect her to be doing so well.

Xu Xingchen's eyes widened as he listened.

"So, Xingxing, you're still too young and too easily manipulated."

After Yun Ci finished her speech, she turned around and saw Zhang Xin'en standing there expressionless.

"Didn't CiCi say that the things she did with me, she didn't do with anyone else?"

Yun Ci: !

She forgot that Zhang Xin'en had come with her; she had gone shopping.

Yun Ci smiled, "Of course, only every moment with you is worth remembering; I've forgotten most of the others."

"I said that before."

Yun Ci: "Really? I forgot."

"You also said you would remember every single word you said to me."

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I'll go out with you in a few days."

Qin Ge soon followed him out.

"He wants to see you, are you going?"

Xu Xingchen followed Qin Ge inside, while Qin Bei's eyes were already completely closed.

His voice was so low it was almost inaudible; he mumbled, "Thank you... for being... by Yi Yi's side."

They were all incompetent elders, but luckily Qin Ge met Xu Xingchen.

Xu Xingchen said, "This is between him and me. You don't need to thank me. I will always be by his side."

He could feel Qin Ge's gaze suddenly become intensely intense beside him.

Qin Bei looked at Qin Ge and Xu Xingchen with satisfaction, then closed his eyes completely.

After that, his assistant handled everything.

Qin Bei's funeral was a grand affair, attended by everyone, whether they knew him or not, since the Qin family was a giant ship that everyone wanted to board.

Regardless of their motives, everyone whose name they knew came.

The entire funeral was handled by Qin Ge.

As agreed beforehand, Qin Bei gave everything to Qin Ge, who is now the sole person in charge of the Qin Group.

He also has the powerful Yun family background behind him.

Occasionally, someone would mention Qin Siyuan, but the topic would be quickly moved on.

Although Qin Siyuan is Qin Bei's only son, he has disappeared from everyone's sight for so many years and has completely withdrawn from the center of power.

It doesn't seem necessary for me to attend now.

Moreover, those who know some inside information about the Qin family would be even less likely to cause trouble for Qin Ge at this critical juncture.

The Qin family's affairs have been widely reported by the media, but no media outlets were invited, and not a single photo of the funeral was released.

All the outside world knows is that Qin Bei, a legendary figure in the business world, has fallen from grace, and Qin Ge, with even more sophisticated methods and a stronger background, is taking the stage next.

Qin Ge's previous photos were also dug up, sparking considerable discussion.

Everyone knows that since he was six or seven years old, he has been groomed as the sole heir of the Qin and Yun families.

After coming of age, he officially took over the company's affairs and achieved remarkable success at a young age.

There are just too many media outlets wanting to interview Qin Ge.

Of course, none of this concerns Qin Ge and Xu Xingchen.

They returned to the old house one last time, taking with them some things from Qin Ge's childhood.

The old house is where Qin Bei lived. Qin Ge loved to come here to play when he was little, and it holds many childhood memories for him.

Even now, Qin Bei has preserved those things intact.

This was also Xu Xingchen's first time visiting the old house, and Qin Ge introduced him to everything around him.

Qin Ge's attitude towards Qin Bei was more complicated.

At the last moment, Qin Bei didn't say a single word about Qin Siyuan to Qin Ge.

As promised, he received all the shares.

But before he died, he left Qin Siyuan a sum of money and sent him to a place only he knew about.

This move was both to prevent Qin Ge from harming Qin Siyuan and to prevent Qin Siyuan from resorting to any more tricks.

In Qin Ge's memory, Qin Bei had always been very good to him since he was a child, holding him while fishing, riding him on horseback, and teaching him to read.

Some people cannot be simply categorized as love or hate, so it's impossible for him to be completely unmoved. But Qin Siyuan was like a stone, blocking their path.

Xu Xingchen found Qin Ge's childhood photo album and waved at him.

"Wow, brother, you cried so much when you were little."

In photos taken when he was one to three years old, he was crying in almost every single one.

They cried loudly, secretly shedding tiny pearls, their eyes red, their lips pouting—there were all sorts of different kinds of tears.
