Chapter 177 Mission Failed

As soon as Su Mi opened her eyes, she saw the transparent IV bottle. She felt a cold touch on her hand, the thin needle was inserted into the vein, and her nasal cavity was filled with the smell of disinfectant.

I quickly realized that this was a hospital.

I sat up and tried to recall what happened, but my head started to hurt.

Just as she was thinking hard, the door of the ward opened.

Gu Muqing came in wearing light grey casual clothes, carrying food in his hands, "Qingqing, you are finally awake."

"What's wrong with me?" She slowly recalled her memory before fainting. It seemed that she suddenly lost consciousness when she came back from Xushan.

"You fainted due to anemia, but it's not a big deal. You'll be fine after a few days of recuperation."

Su Mi slapped her forehead. She didn't know when she started to suffer from anemia.

Gu Muqing set up the small table on the bed, and said in a gentle tone that revealed deep concern, "Don't think about it. You just woke up, eat something first."

Looking at the exquisite food in front of him, Su Mi had no appetite. "How long have I been unconscious? What time is it now?"

"Here, look."

Gu Muqing pushed his cell phone in front of her.

Su Mi turned on the screen and looked at the date on it, January 25th.

She remembered that the date she went to Xushan was the 21st.

So she lay there for four days.

So long...

Moreover, she had agreed with Xiao Xuanjin that she would return to Huacheng on the 22nd, and it has been delayed for so long.

Even Xiao Xuanjin's birthday on the 24th was missed.

"No, I have to go back."

After she finished speaking, she was about to get out of bed, but before she could even put her feet on the ground, she was stopped by Gu Muqing, "Where are you going?"

"Don't stop me. I promised him that I would go find him."

Gu Muqing seemed to be heartbroken that she had acted foolishly again. "It's been so long, and he hasn't come to see you. What does that mean? Don't you understand?"

As soon as these words came out, Su Mi seemed to be shocked. Her movements froze. After a long while, she pursed her lips and said, "It doesn't matter. If he doesn't come, I'll go find him."

She couldn't break her promise. Xiao Xuanjin finally believed in her now, and she couldn't let him misunderstand that she had lied to him again. More importantly, she knew that their relationship couldn't withstand this anymore.

Having come this far, she knows how difficult it is.

Now, the relationship between them is like a dilapidated ship that needs to be repaired and can no longer withstand the wind and waves.

"You can go find him, but you should eat first. Ask yourself, do you still have the energy?"

After lying down for a few days, I felt very tired and my stomach was empty.

She took his words to heart, picked up the porridge on the table and swallowed it whole.

Putting down the bowl, she thought, "My parents..."

"They don't know anything and still think you're out of town. I didn't tell them because I thought my uncle had just recovered and shouldn't be disturbed. That must be what you meant."

"Thanks."

She felt around the bed and flipped over the pillow to look for it, "Where's my phone?"

Seeing her panic, Gu Muqing sighed and took out his phone from the drawer and gave it to her. "It ran out of battery and turned off before. I charged it for you but haven't turned it on yet."

"Thanks."

Su Mi took the phone and pressed the power button. When the screen lit up, she was also looking forward to it.

However, apart from greetings from parents and daily life shared by a few friends, the rest of the content is about company matters.

Xiao Xuanjin did not receive any calls or messages.

He seemed to have forgotten her.

Su Mi's clear pupils became dim, and there was no strength left in his hands, and the phone slipped onto the bed.

Taking in her expression, Gu Muqing said calmly, "Qingqing, how could someone who truly cares about you resist not contacting you?"

I thought she would give up the idea after hearing this.

But she comforted herself again.

Su Mi felt that something must be wrong. It was impossible for Xiao Xuanjin not to contact her. If it was just because she broke the appointment, he would definitely call her. There must be some misunderstanding.

I flipped through my phone, found Linda's WeChat, and asked her to help me book the fastest ticket to Huacheng.

After making the arrangements, she got out of bed and packed up.

When she was putting on her coat, she felt her pockets and found that they were empty. The amulet she had obtained with great difficulty was gone.

She asked, "Where's my amulet?"

Gu Muqing looked confused, "Isn't it in your bag? I didn't see it."

Seeing this, Su Mi realized that the thing was lost.

Never mind, now is not the time to worry about this.

She left the ward and walked straight outside.

Seeing that she was determined to leave, Gu Muqing did not stop her.

He followed her all the time and was kind enough to send her to the airport.

On the way, Su Mi opened the car window and let the wind blow her hair sideways without saying a word.

"Qingqing, you are in good health now, so stay out of the wind."

"It's okay, I'm not that fragile."

The car arrived at the airport.

Su Mi got off the car without delay and went straight in, catching the evening flight to Huacheng to meet him.

Although she felt that she must look very bad now, she didn't care about that and just wanted to see him as soon as possible.

After completing the formalities, she sat in the terminal hall, waiting to board the plane.

…

Outside the airport, Gu Mucheng lowered the car window and watched the plane gradually merge into the vast night.

She was so determined, but she knew that Xiao Xuanjin didn't want to see her at all now.

What a silly girl.

There was a voice in his head talking to him, "Are you just going to let her go?"

"Her heart is not here, and I can't stop her." He put his arm on the car window and spoke casually.

【Aren't you afraid that they will reconcile again? 】

"When Xiao Xuanjin sees these photos, he will only feel that he has been cheated on. What man can accept such a thing? Especially for someone as proud as Xiao Xuanjin. How could he tolerate such a violation of his bottom line? Maybe when Qingqing goes there, all she will see is a divorce agreement."

"You deliberately took her back to the apartment that day to cause misunderstandings among Xiao Xuanjin's people. This was a clever move, and no man could stand it."

"When she becomes disappointed with Xiao Xuanjin, she will naturally accept me." When he said this, there was a sense of determination in his eyes.

【Why do I feel that she won't give up so easily?】

"That's easy. I'll forge evidence that Xiao Xuanjin is planning to severely damage Wantai, and she'll naturally give up. Qingqing values her family and the company the most."

If he hadn't considered that she cared deeply about her family, he would have done so a long time ago.

[Actually, there's an even simpler way. I can help you modify her memory, but you just refuse.]

"Her marriage to Xiao Xuanjin is well known to everyone. If we rashly change it, it will easily reveal flaws, unless I can get her away from Jiangcheng."

[This is also simple, just change her identity.]

"No... I don't want her to not even recognize her own parents. She shouldn't be treated like that."

[You are still soft-hearted. Don't forget, if the mission fails, what will be your fate?]

"I know, you don't need to remind me."

After saying that, he closed the car window, started the car and left.

[This chapter is a little late, please forgive me.]
