My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 343

Chapter 343 Insistence on Leaving

Qin Jinhuan came in with a bright smile on his face. He rushed in, hugged Mu Yu, and whispered affectionately, “Thank you, darling.”

“Let me go!” Mu Yu struggled in annoyance.

“Honey, I’m sorry. Thank you for giving me the chance to make up for it. I swear that I will definitely love you a hundred and even a thousand times more than I did. I promise that I won’t hurt you even a little. I won’t let you suffer even the slightest bit. Honey, I love you!”

“Are you done?” Mu Yu turned her face away, looking very disgusted to hear him speak.

“Honey…”

“Call me Mu Yu!”

“I like to call you Honey.” Her indifference did not affect Qin Jinhuan’s enthusiasm. With a sheepish smile, he approached her and tightened his arms around her waist.

“I don’t like it.” She pinched his wrist and took the opportunity to push him away before continuing to pack her things.

Only then did he notice the luggage beside her. His expression changed, and he quickly grabbed her hand. “W-Where are you going?”

She shook his hand away. “It’s none of your business.”

As she shook him off, he bent over, frantically grabbed the clothes in the luggage and stuffed them into the wardrobe while muttering, “No, I won’t let you go! You are not allowed to leave.”

“Hey! Stop! Don’t touch my clothes!”

She tried to grab the clothes, but he blocked her with his body. Seeing that he did not listen to her at all, and even stuffed the clothes into the wardrobe and quickly closed the wardrobe door, she was a little flustered and exasperated. She suddenly grabbed his arm with one hand and grabbed his collar with her other hand while shouting fiercely, “What the hell are you doing?!”

As soon as her voice fell, he held her tightly in his arms. “I won’t let you go! I won’t let you go!”

Although she didn’t see his expression, his obviously choked voice made her heart ache. The despair was completely out of her control, and it involuntarily invaded her whole body from the depths of her heart.

“I know I was wrong. I’m sorry! I am willing to make up for it. I am willing to pay any price to make up for it. I beg you not to leave me, okay? I can’t live without you! Honey, I love you!”

His voice, which was full of pain and regret, kept echoing in her ears, and it thumped in her heart that she had built a wall around it. At this moment, she realized that the wall of the heart that she thought was tall and thick could not withstand a single blow from him.

Afraid that she would give in, she forcefully pushed him away and closed her ears, forcibly ignoring those romantic words that disturbed her mind.

“Give me some time. Let me calm down. I’m really confused, and I don’t know what to think.” She tried to calm herself down because she did not want to argue with him.

He tried to hug her again, his eyes full of conflict. “Yu, I…”

“It’s not entirely because of you that I stopped Chief Rong and the others from telling Director Gu the truth. I don’t want to create too much chaos, that’s all.” She interrupted him coldly, “I feel so bad for pretending not to know about Dong Wanqing’s innocence. Not being able to bring the person who killed my child to justice is a punishment from the heavens. I just want to find a quiet place to slowly calm my restless heart. Please don’t stop me.”

The sorrow in her eyes made his heart ache. He carefully held her hand and whispered, “Yu, I understand your pain. I am willing to give you time and space to slowly calm down. You want to go to a place where you can’t see me, right? This is simple. I will leave home for a while and come back after you calm down. Is that okay? Mom and Dad are going to West Mountain. I’ll be very worried when I think about you being alone out there.”

Only now did he understand why she had tried to persuade her parents to go to West Mountain Sanatorium with Grandpa. Her parents admired him very much. If they had known about the conflict between them, they would have persuaded her to stay and be with him no matter what, especially her mother who liked him very much. Her mother would definitely force her to reconcile with him. If they didn’t leave, she could not leave the Qin family and him.

His low voice had a hint of begging in it. He looked like a child who had made a mistake and asked for forgiveness from the adults. Pity filled his expression. Once again, he blasted the wall of the heart she had built up into pieces. The wall was shaking and on the verge of collapse.

However, at this time, she was very conscious and decisive. She knew that if she gave in and stayed, she wouldn’t be able to remove the thorn that existed because of this matter. The thorn would firmly stab into her heart. The deeper it was stabbed, the more painful it was. Only when she was tortured to death would she be able to stop the pain. She did not want to experience that kind of excruciating pain, and she was even more afraid that the pain would drive her crazy and make her lose her mind. Once she lost her mind, the first person to get hurt would definitely be Qin Jinhuan. Even if she had a lot of hatred for him, he was her true love, and she couldn’t bear to let him suffer the same agony. Therefore, after sending Grandpa and her parents away from An City, she must also leave.

“I must leave!” She repeated this sentence firmly.

Her firm look made him panic. He grabbed her hand and shook his head sadly. “Yu, since you can turn the page from the accident, why can’t you give me another chance to remedy my mistakes? We have so many sweet memories. Can they not offset my fault?”

Mu Yu was angry. “Do you still think of that matter as a small mistake that is not worth mentioning?”

“No, no, no. You misunderstood. That is not what I meant!” Qin Jinhuan raised his voice and then abruptly confided in a soft voice, “The words didn’t come out right. What I mean is that for the sake of our memories and love and my sincerity to repent, please don’t investigate this matter any further, okay? I swear that this will be the only time, and I’ll never do it again. I swear that I will do more charity work to make up for my past mistakes and benefit more people. Believe me, okay?”

She stared at his sincere eyes for a long time before sighing, “I believe that you are sincerely repenting. I believe that you can benefit more people because of this. I also believe that you really love me and will love me more in the future. I believe all of that, but I can’t get past this feeling in my heart!”

The mist slowly rose from her eyes. “I can’t suppress the sadness and pain in my heart right now. I will feel the hatred in my heart growing not only by seeing you but also by thinking of you. I don’t want to hate you, so I need to leave you for a while and slowly heal the wound that was brought to me. I will come back to you after the wound is healed.”

“How long do I have to wait?” He looked anxious and agitated.

She didn’t have the answer, so she shook her head. “I don’t know either.”

In fact, she did not even know if she could forgive him in the end.

Afraid that he would not let her go, she gave him a glimmer of hope after a long silence. “Chief Rong and the others have ideas to focus on the investigation on Huacheng. I intend to apply to Director Gu to go with Chief Rong and the others to Huacheng. You know that I really want to solve these few cases. Perhaps once the cases are solved, I will be in a good mood and may forgive you.”

“Really?” His eyes were full of surprise, and he looked like a student who was eager to be rewarded by his teacher.

She simply nodded without answering him. It was because she just said it casually as reassurance so that he would let her go.

But he took it seriously. After thinking for a while, he finally stopped persuading her to stay. Instead, he bent down and silently opened the luggage for her. Then, he quietly picked up the clothes that he had stuffed into the wardrobe and put them into the luggage.

“I’ll do it myself.” She squatted down and pushed the messy clothes aside. Then, she folded them neatly and placed them in the luggage.

“Let me help you.”

“No need.”

He squatted beside her, pursed his lips tightly, and watched her tidy up her clothes in a daze.

His reluctant look to part with her made her worry that he would change his mind and not let her go, but she was not in the mood to comfort him now. After thinking for a moment, she stopped folding her clothes and said to him, “Go prepare some snacks for me to eat on the road. After seeing Grandpa and my parents off tomorrow, I’ll head straight to Huacheng.”

He was surprised and questioned, “You’re going to Huacheng tomorrow?! By yourself?”

He knew that it was impossible for Rong Jian to go to Huacheng tomorrow because Rong Jian was bringing Feng Rubing home to formally meet his parents tomorrow night.

“Yes.” Mu Yu nodded. “They still have some things to deal with here. I want to go there and take a look first.”

“No! It’s too dangerous for you to go there alone! I can’t let you go by yourself!”

Afraid that he would stop her, she made a concession. “Send someone to protect me then. How about Cheng Xiang? He is very careful and attentive, and he knows martial arts. It will be no problem for him to protect me.”

“But…”

“No buts. It’s decided.”

Seeing the impatience on her face, Qin Jinhuan, who knew that she had made up her mind, did not say anything more. He just changed his words and confided, “You must take good care of yourself!”

“I know. If there is any trouble, I will contact you right away.” She knew that this should be what he really wanted to hear.

Sure enough, his frown eased a little, and he reminded again, “You must call me if anything happens!”

“But I hope that I won’t see you in Huacheng before I completely adjust my state. That will only worsen my mood, and I will never want to return, ever.” She made a serious request.

Her decisive tone made his heart skip a beat. He instantly dismissed the idea of secretly following her to Huacheng and nodded helplessly.

“Thank you.”

“For what?”

“For your understanding and cooperation.”

Her expression was solemn, while his face was gloomy. He silently watched her pack her clothes one by one.

Near noon, he was urgently called back to the company. She hid her luggage in the closet and went downstairs to have lunch and chat with Qin Xiaozhi.

Qin Xiaozhi, who had been living in the hospital for some time, was obviously not as healthy and lively as before. Mu Yu and Qin Chengxi felt pity and sorry for him, but they pretended to be nonchalant and be his company.

Fortunately, Grandpa was willing to go to West Mountain, or she would break down because she had to force herself to face Qin Jinhuan and be happy in front of Grandpa.

Mu Yu was glad. However, she didn’t know that Qin Jinhuan had already scolded Rong Jian thousands of times because Rong Jian did not tell him in time that she stopped them from admitting their mistakes to Gu Zhaohui. Because of this, he had to persuade Grandpa to go to West Mountain Sanatorium in order to hide this from Grandpa. If Grandpa refused to go, she had to put on an act with him so that Grandpa would not be worried. Qin Jinhuan was confident that he could seize this chance and get to her with his tenderness and affection and make her completely forgive him.

After lunch at home, she returned to the forensic lab and told Feng Rubing that she was going to Huacheng. As she was talking, the forensic lab’s phone rang. It was Gu Zhaohui who asked her to see her at his office.

She was suddenly shocked. Did Qin Jinhuan put pressure on Director Gu behind her back to stop her from going to Huacheng?
