Chapter 230 [Empire] The Other Side of Shan Qi

Although the doctor said that I was just a little exhausted and there was nothing serious wrong with me, Shan Qi was still worried and ordered me to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation.

His expression was serious, his eyes revealing determination. "No, you must stay in the hospital for observation. Just because the doctor says you're fine doesn't mean you're fine. I can't put you at risk."

I looked at him helplessly, but I was touched. Although his concern was a bit overbearing, it made me feel his deep love.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." I said softly, "I'll stay in the hospital for a few days for observation."

Shan Qi finally relaxed a little, but he still worriedly told me, "You need to rest well and don't move around. If you need anything, call the nurse. I'll come to see you often."

I nodded, my heart filled with warmth. At this moment, having Shan Qi by my side made me feel extremely safe.

Finally, under Mr. Li's resentful gaze, Shan Qi canceled most of his schedule for the past few days without hesitation. Mr. Li stood aside, his face full of helplessness and loss, even speechless. He seemed to want to persuade him, but seeing Shan Qi's determined expression, he finally swallowed his words back.

Shan Qi completely ignored Mr. Li's complaints. He stared at me intently, his eyes filled with concern. "I'll stay with you for the next few days until you fully recover." His tone was firm but gentle.

I looked at him a little embarrassedly and said, "Actually, you don't have to do this. I can do it myself."

Shan Qi shook his head, "No, I'm worried. Just have a good rest, don't worry about other things."

Mr. Li sighed, seeming to lament the cancellations. Finally, he turned away helplessly. I could imagine how he felt at that moment. Shan Qi's schedule had always been very tight, and suddenly canceling so many of them would definitely cause him a lot of trouble.

After Mr. Li left, Shan Qi and I were the only ones left in the ward. The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and we could even hear each other's breathing.

He looked a little shy, lowered his head slightly, and then whispered that this was his first time raising a child. This statement surprised me a little, but at the same time, a special warmth welled up in my heart.

I looked at him with a smile in my eyes. "You are saying that, but I am not a child.

Shan Qi's face flushed slightly, and he said a little embarrassedly: "In my eyes, you are just a child who needs someone to take care of you."

To be honest, Shan Qi doesn't look much older than me, but with the average lifespan of interstellar new humans being several hundred years, I'm not really sure of his age. He has a handsome and mature face, and his eyes reveal a deep wisdom, yet also a hint of youthful vigor.

Soon, however, he encountered work that needed to be dealt with promptly. His brow furrowed in impatience, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. But he quickly adjusted himself, turned on his laptop, and began working.

He instantly revealed his workaholic side, and lost his previous warmth. He was serious, solemn, and cold, like a completely different person.

His eyes were fixed on the computer screen, and every decision he made was decisive and resolute. His stern face was expressionless, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

I couldn't help but sigh, maybe, it seems, perhaps, the person on the webpage wasn't just a photo retouch...
