stomping on...

Just as the two were talking, a woman in a black bodycon dress, looking elegant and luxurious, walked out in high heels. She wore a black floral headdress and looked somewhat haggard.

As they passed by, they glanced at each other casually before looking away.

"Ok?"

Seemingly just realizing what was happening, she turned back to look at Chen Ming after taking two steps.

Chen Ming also saw her, their eyes met for a moment, he thought for a moment, and then nodded and said—

"Hello."

"...What are you doing at the hospital? You can get sick too?"

Her eyes held complex emotions—sadness and wariness towards him. After that incident, she finally understood his unusual behavior.

He said—

"I've come to visit you in the hospital."

"..."

The woman understood from his eyes, lowered her gaze slightly, and turned to say—

"Come with me, you've come at just the right time."

Chen Ming said goodbye to the nurse, thanked her, and followed her, saying—

"You've come at just the right time? Why do you say that?"

"Because if it's any later, you might not see him again."

"..."

This answer made Chen Ming fall silent for a moment, understanding its implications. He couldn't help but recall what Qin Hui had told him before: everyone suspected that the reason the Qin family head hadn't recovered was because this woman in front of him was plotting something.

Chen Ming provided timely assistance and should be out of danger, but the head of the Qin family has been bedridden for more than half a year, which makes people suspicious.

stomping on...

They walked one after the other without saying a word.

Chen Ming watched her retreating figure. Unlike her arrogant demeanor when they first met, she seemed more normal now. He said—

"Aren't you bringing your bodyguards today?"

"...Are you mocking me?"

She glanced back at him, but wasn't angry. She paused for a moment, then continued walking forward, saying—

"Qin Hui... is she alright?"

"She's fine."

"……Um."

And so they fell silent again. She led him to a hospital room and said—

"I just came out of the intensive care unit. The doctor said... it's not necessary anymore, or something like that."

Chen Ming's eyes widened slightly as he glanced at her again. She crossed her arms, lowered her head, waved to him, and said—

"Go in, he probably wants to see you too."

"..."

Chen Ming reached out and opened the door, then walked straight in.

White curtains, blue and white sheets—a gaunt man lay on them, eyes open, staring out the window. Hearing a sound, he slowly turned his head, saw a young man enter, and looked on with confusion.

"You are……"

Chen Ming walked up to him and said—

"Hello, I am Chen Ming."

He opened his eyes wide, looked at him, then laughed and said—

"I see... Are the two of them alright?"

"They are very good."

But you don't seem to be doing well?

Chen Ming's eyes were fixed on his body, whose life force was already very weak.

He forced a smile and said—

"I was already beyond saving. It wasn't anyone's fault. I had a serious illness. It's a miracle that I've survived until now."

"...I see."

Was the other person explaining things for the other woman? Was he saying his illness had nothing to do with her, or was he just stating a fact?

He stared at the ceiling, muttering—

"You've come at the right time. I haven't apologized to you yet. I'm sorry, I almost got you into trouble."

"Ah."

Chen Ming simply responded, unsure of what to say. He had always been rather neglectful of himself, but he still had things to say for the people he loved.

"I'm here to scold you."

Then Chen Ming really gave him a good scolding.

He smiled, closed his eyes, and said—

"Good for her, good for her... After she left, no one dared to criticize me anymore... Looking back, everything I did... was just me being presumptuous..."

"She thought she was making choices for her own good, that by pushing her away she could find happiness... and wouldn't have to stay with this short-lived guy like me..."

"But you were the one who went first... What a cruel twist of fate... I often wonder, wasn't it supposed to be a terminal illness? Why am I still alive..."

"Now... finally... I can be free..."

As Chen Ming watched him grow weaker and weaker, a tenderness welled up inside him, and he instinctively reached out his hand.

However, the other party seemed to have a final burst of energy before death and said—

“I know you’re no ordinary person… I’m leaving them in your care… really, thank you… I need to… go find her…”

He died, but a faint smile remained on his lips.

It must be because I can finally see the people I truly want to see. There are many mistakes in life, but after death, I will find peace.

The woman walked in, her face pale and weak.

“I don’t believe in love, I think everything is driven by self-interest… I thought he must be the same, willing to abandon his wife and daughter for profit by any means necessary… But that’s not how it is… All he ever thought about, all he considered, was her… I thought I had won, how ridiculous…”

She knelt on the hospital bed, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably. The things she firmly believed in, the people she trusted, collapsed in an instant.

With pity in his eyes, he said—

"If you have any difficulties... you can come and talk to me."

"Haha...difficulties? What difficulties could I possibly have? I have more money than I could ever spend in a lifetime, how could I possibly have any difficulties..."

Her tears soaked the sheets.

Chen Ming felt heavy-hearted, sighed deeply, and patted her shoulder.

Having more money than you can spend in a lifetime should indeed bring happiness.

No?

……

P.S.: Isn't that right? ('-ω-`)

Chapter 1590 Extra: Angels and Witches

The heavens, bathed in holy light, felt exceptionally vibrant today. The angels were somewhat flustered and delighted, even imitating human women on earth by applying cosmetics to their faces.

They were already stunningly beautiful, but this makeup was superfluous, and their clumsy technique only made it worse.

As for why they are so excited today, it is because their beloved queen is finally going to his faithful paradise.

They couldn't wait to put on their makeup and then went to the Gates of Heaven to wait. If they could be the first to be favored by the Queen, that would be absolutely wonderful.

"I'm coming!"

The gates of Heaven lit up, and a man stepped out. Startled to see so many angels waiting for him, he exclaimed—

What are you doing?

"queen!"

The angels instantly became excited and couldn't resist crowding around him, instantly engulfing him.

"Wait, wait a minute..."

Even though he now possessed superhuman strength, he was still at a loss surrounded by so many girls. They even kept taking advantage of him, pinching and touching him here and there, with a terrifying glint in their eyes, as if they wanted to devour him.

Chen Ming's lips twitched. He had initially thought that what his wives had told him before he left was an exaggeration, but he didn't expect the truth to be even more exaggerated.

He tried his best to be authentic—

"No, don't do this... I won't run away... Everyone, calm down..."

"Quiet down, all of you!"

At this moment, a reprimand rang out, and Wendy, Isabella, and Phil, the three acting queens, stepped forward from the crowd and said—

"Do you want to put the Queen in a difficult position? Calm down and let the Queen see the quality of us angels."

He then began to manage the order, and eventually they formed a long queue that stretched as far as the eye could see, each one coming to shake his hand.

"...Is this a celebrity meet-and-greet event?"

Chen Ming couldn't help but complain.

"Hehehe, Queen, may I pat my head?"
