At this point, Jiang Jingchu no longer wanted to hide the secret from Yuan Mei.

"Yes, when she goes abroad, she will find an opportunity to cancel her marriage with me."

Yuan Mei was horrified.

"You two kids, how can you decide such a big thing on your own?"

Jiang Jingchu frowned.

"No matter how big the matter is, it's between her and me. We've already discussed it. What does it matter whether you agree or not?"

"You're talking nonsense! Marrying Jingya isn't just a matter between the two of you. It also represents the marriage relationship between the Jiang and Ji families. Only by marrying into the Ji family can your position be secure, and no one will be able to easily shake it in the future!"

Jiang Jingchu listened for a long time, and finally understood what Yuan Mei meant. He laughed.

"So you've said so much because you're worried that I won't be able to secure my position as the heir to the Jiang family. So, were all those times you kept saying Ji Jingya was gentle and virtuous, and a good match for a family, just trying to coax me?"

The shame and anger on Yuan Mei's face flashed away.

"No matter what the reason is, Mom will not harm you. You can't cancel this marriage. I will go find Jingya later."

Jiang Jingchu sneered,

"Whatever, go ahead and find someone if you want, but let me be frank: I'm really going to cancel this marriage."

The mother and son parted unhappily. Yuan Mei left the hospital and went directly to the place where she had agreed to meet Ji Jingya.

Ji Jingya was wearing a new dress from a certain brand and sitting elegantly by the window.

Yuan Mei looked at it from afar and found it extremely pleasing to the eye. He didn't understand why it didn't catch the eye of his own son.

When she met Yuan Mei, Ji Jingya's attitude was as calm and confident as ever, but her words seemed to indicate that she had no hope for her marriage with Jiang Jingchu.

Yuan Mei simply went straight to the point.

"Jingya, Xiaochu is in the hospital."

"Hospitalization?"

Ji Jingya was very surprised when she heard this.

"What's wrong with him? Is his stomach problem coming back?"

"On the night of Han Xian's wedding, Xiaochu went into shock after returning home and was rushed to the hospital overnight. But don't worry, he's doing better now."

Only then did Ji Jingya breathe a sigh of relief.

Yuan Mei patted the back of Ji Jingya's hand soothingly.

"Auntie saw your reaction and felt that you still care about Xiaochu. So can you tell me honestly what happened between you and Xiaochu?"

Ji Jingya bit her lip.

"Jiang Jingchu has someone in his heart, and I don't want to make things awkward for myself."

After hearing this, Yuan Mei raised her eyebrows sharply.

"Is it Qin Huan?"

Ji Jingya was surprised by Yuan Mei's reaction.

"You know her?"

Yuan Mei clenched his fingers on his knees into fists, his face expressionless.

"Oh, I've been paying attention to Xiaochu since I heard him say that he was treating a designer named Qin at YJ Company in a strange way."

Pause,

"If it's just because of her, you don't need to care about it, and there's no need to rush to get rid of yourself. As long as the Jiang family and I don't acknowledge her, she will never be able to enter the Jiang family's gate in her lifetime."

…

Two days have passed since Qin Huan sent the email, but she still hasn't received any response. No response, no answer either.

She has been very busy these days, having taken on several orders. She runs around the site every day, drawing pictures, and is so busy that she doesn't even have time to breathe.

On this day, Zhou Tiantian, who was on her honeymoon abroad, suddenly sent a message.

"Huan'er, did you know that Brother Jing was in the hospital? I just heard from Han Xian that on the day Han Xian and I got married, Brother Jing suddenly fainted after returning home and was taken to the hospital by ambulance overnight."

After reading the message, Qin Huan's heart trembled violently, and she couldn't even hold the pen in her hand.

"Fainted? I don't know. No one told me."

Zhou Tiantian sent a surprised emoticon.

"It seems to be an acute gastric ulcer. I heard he's been in the hospital for a week or so."

"I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't had time to ask you what happened between you and Brother Jing? Also, on the day of my wedding, why did you leave without even saying a word?"

Qin Huan's mind was filled with the image of Jiang Jingchu fainting and being taken away by the ambulance, so she hurriedly packed her things.

"I'll tell you in detail when you come back from your honeymoon."

Qin Huan hung up the phone, stood up and walked out.

When I got in the taxi, I remembered that I had no idea which hospital Jiang Jingchu was staying in. After thinking about it, I called Gao Fei.

Gao Fei had just come out of the company and was on his way to the hospital when he received a call from Qin Huan. He remembered that Jiang Jingchu had lost his appetite in the hospital these days and was relying on nutrient solution to stay alive.

He directly told her the hospital and ward number, thinking that this was not something he had told Qin Huan on his own initiative.

Qin Huan bought a bouquet of flowers and a fruit basket on the way. When she arrived at the hospital entrance, she suddenly hesitated.

She was too impulsive when she came here, and now when she goes up to him, she doesn't know what to say. It is also possible that Jiang Jingchu doesn't want to see her at all now.

Thinking of this, Qin Huan retreated again and turned to walk out of the hospital.

Gao Fei just walked to the door, saw it, and walked over quickly.

"Miss Qin, why don't you come up now?"

Qin Huan said "Oh" with an embarrassed look on her face, and handed the thing in her hand to Gao Fei.

"Something happened at the company and I have to rush back. Could you please help me bring these to your CEO Jiang?"

Gao Fei glanced at the flowers and fruit basket in Qin Huan's hand and didn't take them.

"We're already at the hospital entrance. It won't take long. Let's go up together."

Qin Huan was in a dilemma. She took a deep breath and followed Gao Fei to the inpatient department.

Jiang Jingchu was the only patient on the floor where he lived. The corridor was very quiet, and the medical staff walking back and forth walked quickly and lightly.

When he saw Gao Fei, his eyes showed respect.

Gao Fei nodded back at her.

"How much did Mr. Jiang spend on lunch?"

The nurse shook her head.

"Just like before, barely moving."

Gao Fei's brows unconsciously raised,

"I understand. Thank you for your hard work."

After the nurse walked away, Gao Fei sighed.

"On the day of Young Master Han's wedding, Mr. Jiang drank a lot of alcohol and had stomach pain in the middle of the night until he went into shock. He came to the hospital in a bad mood and didn't eat much. Miss Qin, if it's convenient, please help Mr. Jiang."

Qin Huan pursed her lips and said nothing.

The two walked in silence all the way to the ward. Gao Fei knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Gao Fei turned around.

"Ms. Qin, Mr. Jiang is probably asleep. Please go in directly."

After Gao Fei left, Qin Huan stood outside the ward door for another two minutes before she mustered up the courage to gently push the door open.

The ward is very large and is decorated like a star-rated hotel, with all necessary household appliances.

Qin Huan walked through a living room and turned a door before entering Jiang Jingchu's resting place.

He was sleeping, the bed half-raised, with him lying on it in a blue and white striped hospital gown.

The quilt covered her waist, her head was slightly tilted, and a few strands of short hair hung lazily between her eyebrows. She looked as listless as its owner.

His cheeks seemed a little thinner, with slightly concave sides, making his face look even colder.

He seemed to be sleeping restlessly, with his brows tightly furrowed and his fingers trembling slightly from time to time.

Qin Huan had read some psychology books before, and this was a typical manifestation of lack of security.

Qin Huan stood there and watched for a long time. Just as she turned around and put down the things in her hand, the sick man suddenly moved.

Jiang Jingchu slowly opened his eyes and saw a familiar figure. He thought it was a dream, but why did he see her figure even in his dreams?

He blurted out a cry,

"Qin Huan?"

The voice was low and soft, with a hint of disbelief.

Qin Huan paused and looked back at him with gentle and clear eyes.

"Did I wake you up?"

Jiang Jingchu then realized that he was not dreaming. He propped himself up with his arms and sat up. Qin Huan saw this and wanted to help him.

Jiang Jingchu raised his hand to stop him, his tone cold.

"No, it's not yet to the point where I need someone to wait on me."

Qin Huan stood there awkwardly.

"I heard from Zhou Tiantian that you were sick, so I wanted to come and see you."

Jiang Jingchu raised his eyebrows and pursed his thin lips.

"See it now?"

Qin Huan nodded, sensing Jiang Jingchu's resistance to her, and looked at Jiang Jingchu deeply.

"I'm glad you're okay. Take good care of yourself. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, she turned around and just as she reached the door, Jiang Jingchu called her coldly.

"Qin Huan."

Qin Huan paused and heard someone behind her say,

"Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"

Qin Huan's mind raced through a thousand things in an instant as she thought about it.

"some."
