Although Qin Ke's injuries were not terribly severe, he still spent half a month in the hospital before being discharged. During this time, Xie Qianduo had already completed her resignation procedures, and He Wenjie had arranged everything for the two of them in Switzerland. Barring any unexpected developments, they would spend the final, warm months of his life together over there as father and daughter.
To He Wenjie's surprise, when he prepared to discuss the departure date with Qin Ke, the older man actually refused to leave right away. His stated reason was that he wanted to witness He Wenjie and Xie Qianduo's wedding with his own eyes. However, judging by the demands he made, the preparation alone would take at least a month or two. It was clear that he had no intention of leaving anytime soon; in fact, not only did he refuse to go, but he also seemed intent on stirring up trouble.
With Xie Qianduo serving as a shield, He Wenjie found it hard to turn down Qin Ke's demands. Yet Xie Qianduo had clearly grown a great deal over this period. She was no longer the innocent, cheerful young girl who had just stepped out of college half a year ago. Although Xie Qianduo could not see through Qin Ke's hidden agenda, she knew that rushing into a wedding like this was certainly inappropriate. She therefore suggested holding an engagement ceremony before leaving for Switzerland, which would keep the procedures from being too complicated.
