Chapter 481 Staying out all night

"Excuse me, am I really that unreliable?" Wei Xinghe felt their reactions were a bit hurtful to his pride, but fortunately he was used to it. Somewhat bored, he looked up and glanced around at the house's decor, then asked, "Lu Jinye, is this your new house? When did you buy it?"

Lu Jinye ignored him.

"It was probably the day after it was confirmed that Miss Wen Ni would be coming to Hong Kong to study that Mr. Lu arranged for someone to buy this place," Qin Yuan, who was standing nearby waiting for the water to be changed, added. "After all, Miss Wen Ni is unfamiliar with Hong Kong, so she needs a place to stay in case of emergencies!"

"Oh my, it's rare to see someone as considerate as you, Lu Jinye! Is this what they mean by a domineering CEO falling for love?" Wei Xinghe shook his head and teased, then asked, "So, how long do you plan to stay in Hong Kong this time?"

"About a week."

Lu Jinye touched Wen Ni's forehead and felt that she was sweating, which must be due to the fever reducer working. His tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly. "I have several meetings to attend in Hong Kong this time."

"What meeting? Does it require you, Lu Jinye, to personally attend?"

Wei Xinghe had an expression that said, "Everyone knows what I mean."

"In my opinion, coming to Hong Kong for a meeting is just a pretext; he really wants to see his wife!"

"...noisy."

Lu Jinye raised an eyebrow and impatiently ordered Wei Xinghe to leave, "Wei Xinghe, how long do you plan to stay here? Aren't you leaving?"

"Hey, hey, hey, that's not fair of you. How come you treat me like I'm at your beck and call, only to be dismissed as soon as you're done? You're just using me and then throwing me away like that. Isn't that like crossing the river and burning the bridge?"

Wei Xinghe said this, but he still tactfully picked up his coat, stood up, and walked towards the door, saying as he went, "Although my Wei family can't compare to your Lu family in terms of power and influence, we still have a voice in Hong Kong! If you and your Wen need anything, just call me anytime, I'll be there anytime!"

"Hmm," Lu Jinye replied with a perfunctory hum.

"Young Master Wei, let me see you off!" Qin Yuan said with a smile as he chased after him.

The door closed gently.

Lu Jinye picked up the sleeping Wen Ni and carried her into the bedroom.

Half an hour later

"Mr. Lu, the blood test results show that Ms. Wen is infected with the recently broken coronavirus." It was the young doctor's voice on the phone. "Ms. Wen is quite resilient. This virus is different from ordinary viruses. After infection, it will cause general weakness and pain, as well as digestive disorders and continuous damage to the immune system! I have already sent someone to send her the special medicine. After Ms. Wen takes it, she will recover after resting for two more days."

"Okay, I understand."

"Also, this virus is contagious, Mr. Lu, you should take precautions to avoid getting infected!" the doctor carefully instructed. "I'll send you the instructions for use of the medication in a bit. Please make sure Ms. Wen gets plenty of rest..."

"Lu Jinye, what brings you to Hong Kong?"

Wen Ni opened her sore eyelids and saw Lu Jinye standing by the window, his profile illuminated by the dim light.

"It's a good thing I came, otherwise I wouldn't have known you were sick." He hung up the phone and walked back to the bedside.

"Colds are contagious, so don't stay in the same room as me. Your health isn't good to begin with."

She had barely finished speaking when she received a kiss on her burning lips!

"Lu Jinye! What are you doing?"

"If I fall ill, it's because you infected me. You have to stay and take care of me." He propped himself up with one hand beside her, like an unreasonable rogue.

“I still have three days of military training left!” Wen Ni glared at him.

"Are you going back to find your Instructor Chen?"

"What did Instructor Chen do to offend you this time?"

"Anyway, if you're sick, just stay home and lie down. What's there to scold?" Lu Jinye didn't continue the topic. He kicked off his shoes, nimbly slipped under the covers, and hugged her sweltering body. "Rest assured, I'll take care of all these things for you."

"You'll make the arrangements? How will you arrange them?"

Before the effects of the medicine had worn off, Wen Ni's eyelids became heavy again.

"Don't forget, I also graduated from Huaguo Business University, and I am an honorary alumnus. The current dean is my former teacher."

"Oh..." Wen Ni breathed shallowly, barely responding to his words, and had already fallen asleep.

Lu Jinye lowered his eyes, gently brushed the stray hairs from her forehead, and pulled her into his arms even tighter.

Familiarity, it's the taste of longing...

The stars are twinkling in the sky; I hope we can dream together~

As night fades, the chirping of birds awakens the dawn.

Huaguo Business University Girls' Dormitory

Ma Weiwei was washing up in the washroom when Mu Yang from the next dorm came over with a toothbrush, looking like he hadn't woken up yet, and casually asked a bunch of questions:

"Weiwei, I heard that your dorm's training instructor, Wen, fainted yesterday? She's not in good shape, is she? Or has she been overexerted these past few days and exhausted herself? That shouldn't be the case, she's only been training for a few days. How is she? Can she still go today?"

"I don't know either. Wen Ni didn't come back all night yesterday." Ma Weiwei shook her head. "Luckily, they didn't check the dorms last night, otherwise she would definitely have been punished!"

"What? Wen Ni didn't come back to the dorm all night yesterday!?" Mu Yang's sleepy nerves instantly sprang to life! Her loud voice made all the students who were washing up look up and stare at her.

"Ahem..." Mu Yang lowered his voice and continued, "She didn't go back to her dorm, so where did she go?"

“How would I know?” Ma Weiwei frowned. “I only know that Instructor Chen took Wen Ni to the infirmary yesterday.”

"Did Instructor Chen send her? Then she shouldn't have stayed out all night!" Mu Yang's eyes darted around, as if he had caught a whiff of gossip. "She still hasn't come back, so who's training with Instructor Chen today?"

"I don't know either." Ma Weiwei knew nothing when asked.

"Let's go, let's go, let's change our clothes! Let's go to the stadium to watch the excitement!" Mu Yang couldn't wait and grabbed Ma Weiwei's arm, running towards the dormitory.

"Hey! I haven't brushed my teeth yet!"

"..."

On the stadium, the students entered in an orderly manner.

Instructor Chen stood in the assembly area with one hand on his hip, checked the time, and saw that it would be eight o'clock in five minutes.

But he still hasn't seen Wen Ni, nor has he received any news of her asking for leave!

"Old Chen, how's your training assistant doing?" Instructor Wang from next door lingered over to ask for news. "Why haven't I seen her at this hour? Is she still running a fever and hasn't taken leave?"

"Possibly."

"Speaking of which, you were the one who took her to the infirmary last night, weren't you really touched?" Instructor Wang started winking again. "Did you exchange contact information or something?"

"What are you thinking about?" Instructor Chen frowned and pushed Instructor Wang aside. "I took her to the infirmary, but she was picked up by two friends."

Instructor Wang was taken aback and quickly asked, "Friends? What friends? Boyfriends or girlfriends?"

How would I know?

"Oh my, you're clearly very concerned! But you're putting on an indifferent act. What's with the hypocrisy? Is it cool?" Instructor Wang clicked his tongue in disapproval.

"Stop spouting nonsense here. If Chief Instructor Hu hears you, he'll drag you out!" Instructor Chen finally lost his temper.

"What?" Instructor Wang was taken aback, his eyes slightly darting away. "Why are you grabbing me?"

"Don't think I don't know. Rumors are already circulating in the school." Instructor Chen glanced at him sternly. "I'm only reminding you because I consider you a brother. Cut your losses before things get out of hand. Don't let things get out of control and hurt yourself and others."
