Chapter 1080: Chapter 1080: Roses and Tears (6)

“Huh?” Chu Xinqing raised her eyelids, “What did you say?”

“You’re my only ‘good buddy’. If you die, who will be my ‘good buddy’ after that?!”

The small flame that had risen in her heart was instantly extinguished, and Chu Xinqing lowered her face in frustration, “Anyway, you have lots of good friends, you’ll have a girlfriend, get married, have kids… whether I’m around or not… doesn’t matter.”

Her voice choked again as she said the last four words.

Thinking about him getting married to someone else, having kids, and in the future, his kids calling her Auntie…

Chu Xinqing’s nose involuntarily turned sour again, and the apple in her mouth left only a bitter taste.

That jerk, what’s wrong with her, why doesn’t he like her?

“Silly girl, what are you talking about? How could I be indifferent about you? I…” Qiao Liang put down the tray in his hand and was about to speak when the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside. Then, two organizers of the food festival, led by the staff member who had met Qiao Liang earlier, walked in.

After getting the news that Qiao Liang was in trouble, they were very worried and rushed to the hospital immediately.

Qiao Liang is not only a world-class chef but also has an extraordinary background. This time, he came here to attend the event at their invitation. If something happens to him, they naturally have to bear the responsibility.

Seeing that Qiao Liang was not in a serious condition, the two organizers felt slightly relieved.

“We have already heard about your situation. We are really sorry, it’s all because of our inadequate security work!” The leading one said with an apologetic face.

“It’s okay.” Qiao Liang returned a comforting smile, “It was just a scare, and it wasn’t your fault.”

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the organizer’s gaze fell on Chu Xinqing, “This lady must be your girlfriend, Miss Chu, right? Miss Chu, we are really sorry, sorry!”

Hearing the term “girlfriend,” Chu Xinqing opened her mouth, wanting to explain, “Actually, we…”

But Qiao Liang didn’t seem to care about these details, “Don’t worry, she was just a bit shocked, but she’s okay.”

“That’s good.” The few of them breathed a sigh of relief, and the organizer continued to ask, “I see a lot of police outside. Is there any progress with the situation, have they caught the culprits?”

“There doesn’t seem to be any news at the moment.” Qiao Liang sighed lightly, “However, I might have to apologize to you guys. I’m afraid I can’t participate in the upcoming events, Xiaoqing needs care, and also…” He spread his hand wrapped in gauze, “In my current state, it’s not appropriate for me to attend the events, so I can only say sorry!”

Seeing the gauze on his hand, the organizer became nervous again, “Is your hand okay?”

Since he came to their event and had an accident during the event, they naturally have to be responsible.

After all, he is a world-class chef, and the value of those hands is beyond words. If something were to happen to his hands, they couldn’t bear the responsibility.

Qiao Liang smiled, “It’s nothing, just a flesh wound. But in the short term, I probably won’t be able to hold a knife.”

“Then you should rest well. If you need anything, feel free to contact us. We will do our best to take care of you both,” the organizer said.

“That’s not necessary, I’ll arrange it myself…”

As he spoke, accompanied by hurried footsteps, a young man in a suit hurriedly rushed in.
