Chapter 54 My wife wants to drive me away, but I won’t leave!

After being showered with cold water for most of the night, I ended up with a high fever that wouldn't go away.

Chen Chi lay half dead on the bed, his hair still wet, but he no longer had the energy to blow it dry. He could barely change into clean clothes and climb into bed, and he felt so awesome.

The system was spinning in panic, watching his once fair face now burning red, his lively eyes losing their vitality and unable to open. Because of his illness, he had difficulty breathing and could only open his mouth slightly.

The system had never seen him like this before, and called him several times, but unfortunately there was no response.

[Chen Chi, don't fall asleep! ]

[If you fall asleep, it will be the end of both of us! ]

[If it really doesn't work, call an ambulance! Don't worry about the money at this time.]

[Sinking pool? Did you hear me?]

…

The constant chatter in his mind made Chen Chi frown. He looked weak, but he couldn't help but complain, "You're so noisy."

The system was delighted, [Human, you are alive again?!]

Shen Chi, "What time?"

He struggled to open his eyes, but he couldn't focus. The curtains were not drawn, and sunlight seemed to be pouring in from the window, shining brightly, but he couldn't make it out and was afraid that he was hallucinating.

The system hurriedly said, [It's eight o'clock! Man, you've been unconscious for two hours, you scared me to death.]

Chen Chi's hand slid around laboriously for a few times before finally finding his cell phone. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to go to work today. As a social animal, he had to ask for leave in advance in order to keep his job.

Originally, as Lu Chenzhou's exclusive secretary, he could ask for leave directly from his boss, but now he didn't want to see Lu Chenzhou, let alone hear his voice. He was afraid that he would lose control, and the feeling of being out of control was terrible, so he finally chose to avoid it.

There weren't many people in the address book, and he soon found an acquaintance - Secretary Xu.

Secretary Xu was half his master, and had been doing his best to guide him since he started working. However, this time his high fever was beyond his expectations. The moment the phone was connected, his eyes went dark, and before he could even open his mouth, he fainted again.

Secretary Xu answered the phone for a long time but got no response. Her first reaction was not that Secretary Shen had accidentally touched the call button, but that something had happened to him.

She ran to the Human Resources Department in a hurry with her big belly, under Assistant Zhou's puzzled gaze.

“Give me Secretary Shen’s home address! Quick, now!”

The HR department, curious, pulled up the files and asked, "Hey? Secretary Xu, what happened?"

Secretary Xu didn't say anything. He got the address and was about to leave. But just as he reached the door, he almost bumped into Lu Chenzhou.

He looked like he hadn't slept all night, and his usually handsome face showed a bit of fatigue, but his eyes were as sharp as ever.

Behind him, Assistant Zhou ran out of breath and came back late, "Mr. Lu, wait for me."

After Lu Chenzhou sent Chen Chi away last night, he felt a sense of unease, not only a broken defense, but also irritation because his wife didn't like him. He had come to the company early today. In the past, the secretarial staff always arrived before him, but today, unexpectedly, except for a few assistants, all his secretaries were gone.

Secretary Xu was missing, that was fine, the most important thing was that Chen Chi was nowhere to be seen.

For a moment, he was worried that Ji Yanzhi's bad mouth might predict that Chen Chi would resign. Fortunately, Assistant Zhou said something in time, so Secretary Xu ran away in a hurry.

Lu Chenzhou immediately sensed something was wrong. He called Chen Chi, but couldn't get through. The call was always busy. Finally, he saw the phone in Secretary Xu's hand. His eyes dimmed and he snatched it away.

"Secretary Xu, ask the purchasing department to buy you a new cell phone. Now you can go back to your job." After saying that, he ran away with the cell phone.

Secretary Xu has been working for several years, but this is the first time she has seen President Lu lose her composure like this. However, after taking the phone away, he did return the SIM card to her!

Assistant Zhou said, "Secretary Xu, don't ask for it. You can't get it back. Let's go pick out a newer model with more memory and a more expensive phone. There's no need to help Mr. Lu save money. He only has money left anyway."

Secretary Xu: ...

***

The door of Chenchi's small, shabby house was locked tightly. Lu Chenzhou knocked on the door loudly, but there was no movement from inside the house.

With a tense expression, Lu Chenzhou began to worry, "Chen Chi, if you don't respond, I'll kick the door."

After saying that, without waiting even a second, he raised his foot and kicked the door open.

The room was as clean as last time, except for the faint scent of fruit. Lu Chenzhou couldn't tell for a moment, and he wasn't in the mood to do so. He frowned and quickly went to the bedroom, where he saw Chen Chi curled up weakly.

Lu Chenzhou could clearly see the bite marks on the back of his neck. After one night, the bite marks, which should have almost healed after he applied ointment, were now in a horrible state.

The skin, which should have been fair, was red and swollen, with overlapping bite marks, which was shocking.

Lu Chenzhou's pupils suddenly shrank, and the hostility in his body disappeared, replaced by endless regret and heartache, "Chen Chi?"

As soon as his slightly cool fingers touched the other person, his face changed immediately due to the hot body temperature.

Lu Chenzhou immediately held Chen Chi in his arms, "Chen Chi? You have a fever."

He picked up Chen Chi and wanted to take him to the hospital, but Chen Chi, who was originally unconscious, suddenly became clear-headed because of his arrival.

Although the Alpha pheromones in his body had been reduced to the lowest level after being drenched in cold water for half the night, he had just been temporarily marked yesterday, so even if he resisted, the instinct still existed.

The bitter smell of gunpowder slightly eased the pain after being marked. Under his thin eyelids, Chen Chi moved his eyeballs.

"Chen Chi? Don't be afraid, I'll take you to the hospital right away."

Upon hearing the word "hospital", Secretary Shen, who had been staying obediently in his arms, suddenly began to struggle. His struggle was very weak and he didn't need to use any strength. One hand was enough to suppress it, but Lu Chenzhou couldn't bear it and let his soft hand hit his face. In order to hear his mumbling clearly, he even moved his face closer.

“…No, hospital.”

Lu Chenzhou had never coaxed anyone in his life, so he could only hold the person carefully and ask, "Why? Chen Chi, are you sick?"

He tried to reason with him, but Chen Chi, who was suffering from a high fever, suddenly became fragile. His eyes became moist and crystal tears suddenly slid down the corners of his red eyes.

One drop.

Lu Chenzhou almost went crazy.

"Okay, we won't go to the hospital." He surrendered instantly, "Don't move, I'll let Ji Yanzhi come over."

Even though Chen Chi had a fever, he still could not forget his out-of-control self yesterday. That extremely unfamiliar self made him resist Lu Chenzhou. After vaguely realizing that he was hugging him, he struggled again.

"You, go..."

Lu Chenzhou lowered his head and let him slap him in the face. After listening for a long time, he heard one sentence.

He told himself to get out.

"If you let me go, who do you want to come?"

"Your damned partner?"

"She doesn't even know you're sick!"

He spoke angrily with a fierce expression, but by the end of his yelling, he felt wronged again.

"I'm not leaving."
