Chapter 435: Devoting Yourself to the Family

Qi Tongwei began to devote himself to preparing for the new life. He asked the most experienced elders in the village how to pray for the mother and baby, and then went up the mountain to ask for a peace amulet for Liang Lu and the baby in the temple. He placed the amulet at the head of Liang Lu's bed, hoping to give her strength and comfort.

Liang Lu was moved by Qi Tongwei's change. She knew that Qi Tongwei was under great pressure, but he still chose to protect his family. She said to Qi Tongwei gently, "Tongwei, no matter what happens, my child and I will always be with you." Qi Tongwei held her hand tightly, with a determined light in his eyes.

As the days passed, Liang Lu's labor pains became more frequent. Qi Tongwei quickly harnessed the carriage that had been prepared long ago, and carefully helped Liang Lu get on the carriage. He drove the carriage himself and rushed to the town's clinic. Along the way, he kept comforting Liang Lu and told her about their beautiful future life.

When they arrived at the clinic, the people in the clinic were busy. Qi Tongwei waited anxiously outside the delivery room, his hands tightly clasped together, praying silently in his heart. He thought of his former ambitions and those pursuits in the power field, which were no longer important at this moment. He just hoped that Liang Lu and the child would be safe.

Qi Tongwei paced anxiously outside the delivery room, worried about Liang Lu and the baby who was about to be born. At this moment, a familiar figure appeared in his sight. Chen Yang came hurriedly with a basket of fruit.

The moment he saw Qi Tongwei, Chen Yang's steps froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile, "Tongwei, long time no see." Qi Tongwei was also surprised to see Chen Yang, but he still responded politely, "Chen Yang, why are you here?"

Chen Yang lowered his head slightly and said softly, "I heard that Liang Lu gave birth here, so I came to see if there is anything I can do to help." Qi Tongwei felt mixed emotions, and past memories came flooding back to him. He exchanged a few simple words with Chen Yang and talked about Liang Lu's situation.

When Chen Yang heard the news that Liang Lu was pregnant with her second child, a hint of sadness flashed across her eyes, but she quickly concealed it. She bit her lip slightly and said, "Tongwei, after all these years, are you doing well?" Qi Tongwei sighed and said, "It's just like that. We've been through a lot. Now I just hope Liang Lu and the child can be safe and sound."

Chen Yang looked up at Qi Tongwei, hesitated for a moment and said, "Tongwei, are you free tonight? I want to treat you to a meal. We haven't seen each other for so many years, and I have something to say to you." Qi Tongwei waved his hand and said, "Chen Yang, this is not appropriate. Liang Lu is still in there, I have to stay here. And I already have my own family now."

Chen Yang's eyes turned red, tears welled up in them. She said with a choked voice: "Tongwei, I don't mean anything else. I just want to reminisce with you and thank you for taking care of me in the past." As she said that, she couldn't help but take a step forward and hold Qi Tongwei's arm.

Qi Tongwei tried to break free in panic. He looked around nervously and said, "Chen Yang, don't do this. It's not good if someone sees us." But Chen Yang was a little agitated at this time and held him tightly without letting go.

Chen Yang held Qi Tongwei's arm tightly, tears streaming down his face. Qi Tongwei's heart was also in turmoil, and past memories kept impacting his mind.

The experience in Myanmar is an indelible and profound past between them. At that time, Chen Yang was harassed by a group of criminals in Myanmar. She was alone in a foreign country, unable to speak the language and in danger, and fear almost swallowed her. Qi Tongwei accidentally learned the news and rushed to Myanmar without hesitation.

In a chaotic and dangerous environment, he searched everywhere for Chen Yang's trace. Facing those vicious criminals, Qi Tongwei did not flinch at all. With his courage and wisdom, he cleverly avoided danger and dealt with the enemy again and again. In a dilapidated warehouse, he finally found the imprisoned Chen Yang. Qi Tongwei fought alone with the guards and was injured in many places, but he gritted his teeth and rescued Chen Yang from that dangerous place.

Since then, Chen Yang has been deeply grateful to Qi Tongwei and has an indescribable feeling in his heart. "Tongwei, do you know? When I was in Myanmar, I thought I would never see the sun tomorrow. It was you who gave me a second life." Chen Yang said with sobs.

Qi Tongwei looked at Chen Yang, feeling helpless and entangled. He said softly, "Chen Yang, that's all in the past. I have my own life now, with a wife and children, and I am responsible for them."

Chen Yang seemed not to hear his words, and continued to talk to himself: "I have never forgotten you all these years. Every time I encounter difficulties, I will think of the scene when you saved me in Myanmar. I know I shouldn't disturb your life anymore, but I can't control my emotions."

Qi Tongwei's hands trembled slightly. He gently took Chen Yang's hand away and said, "Chen Yang, don't do this. We are no longer the same as we were before. I cherish my current family very much. Liang Lu has given a lot for me."

Chen Yang's eyes were fixed on Qi Tongwei, and the affection and attachment in her eyes seemed to freeze time. Her lips trembled slightly, and she began to talk again: "Tongwei, do you still remember those sneakers? At that time, everyone looked down on you, but I knew you were an ambitious person. I bought those shoes with the money I saved, just to make you hold your head up high."

Qi Tongwei's thoughts were drawn back to his college days. At that time, he was always out of place on campus because of his poor background, and inferiority was like a shadow hanging over him. The appearance of Chen Yang was like a beam of light shining into his dark world. That pair of sneakers was not just a pair of shoes, but also the precious warmth and respect he gained during those difficult years.

"Chen Yang, how could I forget? But that's all in the past." Qi Tongwei's voice was low and helpless. His heart was like a storm, with beautiful memories of his first love on one side and his current family responsibilities on the other.

Chen Yang approached him step by step, tears in his eyes, "Tongwei, I have been thinking all these years, if we had not separated, if I could be braver, would everything be different? You should not be trapped in this small place, you have such great talent and ambition."

Qi Tongwei's eyes flashed with pain and unwillingness. He once really wanted to stand out and display his talents in a wider world. But now, the trajectory of his life has changed dramatically.
