Chapter 43

No one knew how Qin Qin managed those days. She pretended to be numb, but deep down, she knew better than anyone that Liang Manqing was gone.

She didn’t know when she would return, or if she would return at all.

Yiyi, only just born, seemed to sense her Mommy’s unhappiness. Yiyi didn’t cry or fuss; instead, she quietly accompanied her Mommy.

She was well-behaved, unlike a one-month-old child.

No one knew how Qin Qin got through those days. Her heart was constantly on edge, but she believed that Liang Manqing would definitely return. As long as she waited obediently, Liang Manqing would come back.

Although she didn’t know how long the process would take, Qin Qin believed in Liang Manqing’s return.

Over those many days, Qin Qin seemed to have understood everything. Coupled with the sudden appearance of the book, Qin Qin was generally aware that she was living in a novel.

And Liang Manqing was not originally from this world.

The Liang Manqing who seemed like a complete stranger during those days was the original Liang Manqing.

No wonder the trajectory of her life had been completely altered in this lifetime—it was Liang Manqing stolen contentwho had been silently changing everything.

Liang Manqing, as someone who didn’t belong to this world, had made an immense sacrifice to live here.

Liang Manqing ignored her injuries. The moment she woke up, she rushed back from the hospital.

She truly didn’t know why she was covered in injuries and lying in a hospital. When she woke up, she was alone in the bed with no one accompanying her. It wasn’t until she returned to the Liang house and saw Qin Qin, Yiyi, Liang Xue, and Aunt Tao that she finally felt relieved.

Liang Manqing reached out and gently wiped the tears from Qin Qin’s face: “I’m back.”

Liang Manqing’s eyes had changed. They were gentle and familiar, completely different from the eyes of the person before.

Qin Qin recognized it immediately: Liang Manqing was back.

The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with tears.

Liang Xue and Aunt Tao heard the commotion and came out of the house, immediately surprised to see Liang Manqing.

Liang Xue walked over, looking at Liang Manqing inexplicably: “Why aren’t you in the hospital? Why are you running home like a lunatic?”

In Liang Xue’s mind, Liang Manqing was always the same person. It was just that recently, Liang Manqing seemed to have two faces. The irresponsible and callous demeanor, treating those bailiantales.com around her like strangers, made people truly want to punch her.

Aunt Tao was more nervous than Liang Xue. She quickly rushed over to check Liang Manqing’s injuries: “Manqing, how can you be back right after surgery? Your body hasn’t recovered! Oh, you must go back immediately.”

Liang Manqing smiled and said: “I’m fine. I feel great now.”

Liang Xue was clearly skeptical: “You were crying hysterically in the hospital just now, and now you ‘feel great’?”

The strangeness made Liang Xue feel like the person in front of her had completely changed.

Yiyi also sensed Liang Manqing’s arrival and whimpered, seeking attention.

Liang Manqing reached out and lifted her soft, sweet daughter, gently coaxing her: “Good baby, you’ve grown so big.”

Newborn babies grow very quickly, changing seemingly every day. Liang Manqing barely recognized the baby after being away for this period.

But the older Yiyi got, the more she resembled Qin Qin. Her eyes were beautiful. She was clearly the crystallization of their love. Liang Manqing didn’t want to let go of her, wanting to make up for all the time she missed with Yiyi.

But Qin Qin was still worried about Liang Manqing’s injuries: “Let’s go to the hospital first. I’ll go with you. We’ll only be discharged when the doctor says you can, okay?”

From this moment on, Qin Qin didn’t want any accidents bailiantales.comto happen to Liang Manqing again, not for a single second.

Liang Manqing saw the worry in Qin Qin’s eyes and nodded: “I’ll listen to you.”

Liang Manqing was in a private room in the special care ward, but Qin Qin insisted on staying with her. Liang Manqing had no choice but to agree: “Then I’ll ask the nurse to bring another bed over.”

“No need. I’ll sleep in the same bed as you. We haven’t seen each other in so long. I’ve almost forgotten what it feels like to sleep next to you.” Qin Qin spoke sincerely, her cheeks flushing afterward.

Liang Manqing’s heart softened. She scooted inward, giving Qin Qin room: “Wife, come here and let me hold you properly.”

The hospital bed was small, and it was a tight squeeze for two, but Qin Qin loved the cramped feeling. It made her feel real.

Qin Qin wrapped her arms around Liang Manqing’s waist, burying her warm cheek in Liang Manqing’s neck. Smelling the familiar scent, she felt completely secure.

Qin Qin closed her eyes, clearing her mind of all thoughts. She was too tired during this period. Besides spending time with Yiyi, she had been consumed with worry about Liang Manqing. She was exhausted in mind and body. Relaxing in Liang Manqing’s arms, she quickly fell asleep.

Liang Manqing wasn’t much better than Qin Qin. She hadn’t truly closed her eyes to sleep a single day in that world. Besides dealing with company matters, all her time was spent looking for a way back.

Now, Liang Manqing only hoped that her other self in that world would live life seriously. As for the rest, Liang Manqing could no longer help that person.

Liang Manqing adjusted her sleeping posture, holding Qin Qin’s back, making sure Qin Qin was comfortable.

The two of them fell into a deep sleep.

When Liang Manqing woke up, the spot beside her was empty. She reached out and felt that it was still warm, meaning Qin Qin had only just gotten up.

Liang Manqing quickly got out of bed to find out where Qin Qin had gone. Just as she opened the ward door, Qin Qin came back, holding Yiyi.

Qin Qin: “You’re awake.”

Liang Manqing took the sleeping Yiyi and kissed her: “Why did you bring Yiyi here?”

“I haven’t seen her all morning. The baby cried at home, so I thought I’d bring her over for a bit and then send her back.” Qin Qin had woken up and received a call from Aunt Tao, saying Yiyi was fussy and crying. She probably missed her Mommy and Sister.

Normally, Yiyi was very well-behaved and didn’t cry.

The baby was still small, spending most of her time asleep. Now, nestled in her Sister’s arms, she was incredibly quiet and sleeping soundly.

Liang Manqing held Yiyi like a treasure. She hadn’t been there for Yiyi when she was first born; Qin Qin had been taking care of the baby alone.

It was clear how much pressure Qin Qin had been under. She had to worry about Liang Manqing while taking care of the child. Qin Qin was the one who suffered the most during this time.

When she left the world of the book and returned to her own world, Liang Manqing could only think of Qin Qin and Yiyi. Her only focus was to come back.

Liang Manqing took Qin Qin’s hand and led her into the room, explaining what had happened over those days.

Qin Qin remembered the book and asked: “So Sister, in your world, I was just a character on paper?”

When Liang Manqing couldn’t find the book in her own world, she panicked, unsure what to do. But eventually, the System appeared and told her it had transmitted the book to Qin Qin.

The book contained Liang Manqing’s message, which Qin Qin would see.

Even so, Qin Qin would also learn that she was a character in a book. Despite this, Liang Manqing didn’t want to hide it from Qin Qin and could only nod.

Qin Qin smiled: “At first, I didn’t quite believe it, but looking at the ending of my previous life, I have no choice but to believe it.”

Liang Manqing’s eyes were tearful. So even though the outcome had changed now, Qin Qin still carried the painful memories of her previous life. She had already endured the book’s original ending once.

Liang Manqing held Qin Qin’s hand affectionately: “I will be good to you from now on.”

I will be doubly good to my wife.

Qin Qin nodded, choked up: “Just don’t disappear. Stay by my side forever.”

“I won’t disappear,” Liang Manqing said softly: “Never again.”

Liang Manqing’s injuries healed quickly. Her broken nose was nearly recovered.

These days, Liang Manqing and Qin Qin stayed home and didn’t go anywhere.

The two were inseparable, making up for the time they were apart.

Yiyi, the little one, was growing incredibly fast, changing every day and becoming more beautiful.

Liang Manqing couldn’t resist buying all sorts of pretty clothes for Yiyi. The closet prepared for Yiyi was almost full.

When Qin Qin saw Liang Manqing bring home another pile of clothes, she couldn’t help but laugh and ask: “Yiyi is still so small. Why are you buying such big clothes?”

Liang Manqing didn’t think so: “Children grow fast. She’ll be able to wear them soon.”

Liang Manqing didn’t feel [read the original at bailiantales.com]any pain spending money on Yiyi. She wished she could give Yiyi all the best love in the world.

Qin Qin pouted slightly: “Sister, I think you care more about Yiyi and don’t care about me at all.”

Liang Manqing heard Qin Qin’s complaint, reached out, and pinched Qin Qin’s nose: “Who said that? I bought you a gift too.”

With that, Liang Manqing took out the gift she had bought for Qin Qin from the bag behind her. Both her daughter and her wife were very important to her.

Qin Qin’s face lit up with a smile: “What is it?”

Liang Manqing: “Open it and see.”

Qin Qin was highly expectant. After tearing open the gift, she found a watch: “This watch is so beautiful.”

Liang Manqing said: “Wife, I’m glad you like it.”

In the following days, Liang Manqing stayed by Qin Qin’s side. The studio work was delegated to her employees, who did an excellent job, so Liang Manqing didn’t have to worry about it. She could wholeheartedly focus on her wife and child.

Liang Yiyi grew very fast. Liang Manqing and Qin Qin spent every day with their daughter, watching her grow. The family of three was happy and harmonious.

Qin Qin was curious about how Liang Manqing returned, but deep down, she was worried and afraid.

Afraid that Liang Manqing would suddenly disappear again.

That night, while sleeping, Liang Manqing held Qin Qin and told her everything that had happened during that time.

When Liang Manqing tried countless methods and still couldn’t return, the System appeared.

The reason they couldn’t swap before was that the other person didn’t want to swap back. But when that person returned to the world of the book and ran into obstacles everywhere, with no one caring for her, that person desperately wanted to come back.

It was precisely because both people desired to swap back that the System suddenly appeared.

The System gave Liang Manqing one choice: if she successfully transmigrated back this time, she would remain in that world permanently, with no chance of regret.

Liang Manqing chose to swap without hesitation, returning to Qin Qin’s side without a second thought.

Qin Qin listened, then slowly asked: “So, Sister, you will never leave me again, right?”

Liang Manqing pulled Qin Qin into her embrace, a smile blooming on her lips. Her eyes held only Qin Qin. She told Qin Qin seriously and firmly: “I will never leave you again.”

At this moment, Qin Qin finally felt that she completely and utterly possessed Liang Manqing.
