"No, we tried to find the child before this but we couldn't find him after almost turning Shen City inside out. Then, we came up with a piece of fake news about your daughter. We said that Yiyi was in critical condition after she was born to lure the child out," said Ling Yiran.
Qin Lianyi seemed quite regretful when she heard that. "What a pity. I was gonna thank him in person, but now I don't know when I'll see him again. Perhaps never."
"No!" Ling Yiran said firmly.
Qin Lianyi looked at her best friend in confusion, while Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin waited for what Ling Yiran would say next.
Ling Yiran was immediately embarrassed. She looked at Bai Yiyi, who was in Mrs. Qin's arms, then she looked at Bai Tingxin, who was still asleep on the hospital bed. She smiled drily. "Well... the little boy made a deal with Bai Tingxin. He'll marry Yiyi when she grows up, so I guess... you’ll be able to see him again."
"Uh..." Qin Lianyi was dumbstruck. "A deal? Is it a serious deal?"
"It should be...," said Ling Yiran. Then, as if afraid that the Qin family might misunderstand Bai Tingxin, she quickly said, "Well, we thought that since the little boy could save you when you were in the delivery room, he could probably wake you up as well. And when we asked him to save you, he didn't say he couldn't. He just refused to do it, so..."
"And then? And then what happened?" asked Qin Lianyi.
"Then, the man the little boy brought with him almost had a conflict with Jin and Ye Wenming. Bai Tingxin brought Yiyi over and knelt to the little boy, begging him to save you!" said Ling Yiran.
Qin Lianyi's eyes watered instantly. An arrogant man like him would never kneel to others, but he went down on his knees to a little boy for her!
"Even so, the child refused. Afterward, the child changed his mind because Yiyi cried. But he insisted that Yiyi marry him in the future before he was willing to save you. Bai Tingxin agreed so that you would wake up," said Ling Yiran.
Qin Lianyi laughed. "The child doesn't seem like a bad person to me. Since he saved my daughter and me, I'll go with the flow. The legal marrying age is still 21 years old anyway. We can take our time to think of a solution."
Ling Yiran felt relieved at that. "You're right. We have 21 years. We'll think of a solution even if something does go wrong!"
Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin seemed relieved too when they heard that.
Zhuo Qianyun and Ye Wenming also came to see Qin Lianyi in the afternoon. Bai Tingxin was already awake. He had washed up and changed into clean casual clothes. His hair was combed, and his chin was shaved. He looked as handsome as ever, even though he was much thinner.
"Oh, you're so thin that you're a little out of shape. I must take good care of you. We can't let your beauty go to waste." Qin Lianyi used her finger to lift Bai Tingxin's chin as she sized him up.
