Chapter 246 How could he be disturbed while confessing his love in his dream!

Chu Rou blinked and lowered her eyes. She decided it was best not to let her mother-in-law and sister-in-law know that He Wei was her ex-boyfriend.

Yuan Qian and Qiao Siying knew what happened at the banquet that day, but what they didn't know was that the woman Deng Fei arranged for He Wei was Chu Rou.

“Mo Yan said that the son-in-law of the Deng family must have deliberately fallen into the trap,” Yuan Qian continued, “his purpose was to completely drive away Deng Fei and her daughter.”

"Deng Qian has a really good eye; she's turned things around in just a few months."

Qiao Siying's expression was meaningful. "I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing that the Deng family has such a capable son-in-law. I hope he doesn't have too many bad intentions. Deng Qian is a pretty good girl, unlike Deng Fei."

Chu Rou remained silent throughout, not participating in the discussion about He Wei. She was recalling the events of that day, wondering if He Wei had really intentionally drugged her.

She now finds He Wei to be quite terrifying, and is glad she broke up with him, otherwise she would have been sold out by him and would have been helping him count the money!

Chu Rou was lost in her thoughts when her phone vibrated, waking her up. She picked it up and saw that it was Huang Shan calling.

Huang Shan rarely called Chu Rou, usually just sending messages. Chu Rou felt a little uneasy, afraid that something had happened. She immediately answered Huang Shan's call, "Hello, Shan Shan!"

“Sister Chu Rou,” Huang Shan’s sobbing voice came through the phone, “Brother Shen Yan has been admitted to the hospital. I don’t know who to contact, so I can only call you.”

"What happened to Brother Shen Yan?" Chu Rou asked anxiously.

“He suddenly fainted. My colleagues at the law firm called me, and I’m on my way to the hospital!” Huang Shan said anxiously. “I didn’t dare call Uncle Shen and Aunt Shi. Shen Luo is still in the hospital. If Brother Shen Yan collapses again, I’m afraid they won’t be able to handle it.”

"Yes, Shanshan, you're right. You should go to the hospital first to see what's wrong with Brother Shenyan. I'll fly over right away."

Chu Rou hung up the phone and stood up. "Aunt Qiao, sister-in-law, something happened to my brother. I have to go back to City C. I'm sorry to spoil your fun today."

Qiao Siying and Yuan Qian understood the gist of the conversation and realized that Shen Yan had fallen ill. They comforted Chu Rou and told her not to worry.

Chu Rou booked a flight for the next available flight and went directly to the airport. On the way, she called Chu Weize and said, "Dad, Shen Yan is sick. I have to go back to City C now."

"How many people did you take with you?" Chu Weize didn't stop Chu Rou from returning to City C when he heard that Shen Yan had fallen ill.

Chu Rou glanced at the two bodyguards sitting in front of her. "I brought two people with me."

Chu Weize hummed in agreement. "I'll arrange for a few more people to go and protect you."

Chu Rou hung up the phone and said to the bodyguards in front of her, "I only bought my own ticket. You two buy tickets for the next flight and come to City C to find me!"

“Young Miss, why don’t you come with us?” one of the bodyguards suggested.

"No, I need to get there early, and I know City C very well, so it won't be a problem."

Helpless, the two bodyguards could only watch as Chu Rou boarded the plane first, while they had to wait for the next flight three hours later.

When Huang Shan arrived at the hospital, she saw a former colleague from the law firm, who was one of Shen Yan's assistant lawyers, and hurriedly asked, "How is Brother Shen Yan?"

The assistant breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Huang Shan. "Shanshan, you're finally here. Shen Lu suddenly had a terrible stomachache and then went into shock and fainted. I only knew your contact information, so I called you."

"Shen Lu has been working overtime lately, and I don't know what triggered him. His emotions are unstable, and he doesn't eat a meal a day. Even an iron man couldn't withstand this kind of lifestyle!"

"Shanshan, will you be able to go back to the law firm during your vacation? Only when you're here can Shen Lu live like a normal person."

Huang Shan didn't know how to answer the question, and she didn't want to explain too much to the assistant. She simply nodded slightly as an answer.

"Shanshan, now that you're here, I'll be leaving now. My girlfriend is waiting for me at home!"

The assistant lawyer gave a few more instructions and then left.

Huang Shan waited alone at the door of the emergency room, her hands clasped tightly together, her heart filled with panic.

Two hours later, the door to the emergency room finally opened.

Huang Shan stood up and rushed over. The doctor came out first, glanced at her, and asked, "Are you a family member of the patient?"

“I’m his… friend,” Huang Shan paused, then continued, “Doctor, what’s wrong with him?”

"A perforated stomach, thankfully not a large area. The surgery has repaired the perforation," the doctor said, unable to contain his aversion. "A perforated stomach at such a young age, I really don't know how he abused his stomach. From now on, he needs to eat on time and get plenty of rest. Okay, go and complete the hospital admission procedures!"

Huang Shan finally felt relieved; thankfully, her life wasn't in danger.

She paid the fees, completed the hospital admission procedures, and returned to her ward.

Shen Yan was still unconscious. Huang Shan looked at his pale and bloodless face, her heart aching. She sat by the hospital bed and sobbed softly.

As the anesthesia wore off and Shen Yan regained consciousness, he heard someone crying beside him. Who was it?

He lifted his heavy eyelids and vaguely saw Huang Shan. He smiled to himself, thinking that he must be dreaming. How could Shan Shan be by his side?

She should be with that boy now!

But even if it's just a dream, he moved his arm and grabbed Huang Shan's hand that was resting on the edge of the bed, his voice hoarse, "Shan Shan!"

"Brother Shen Yan, you're awake!" Huang Shan quickly wiped away her tears and grasped Shen Yan's hand tightly. "Are you in pain?"

Shen Yan didn't pay attention to what Huang Shan was saying. He only wanted to confess to Huang Shan in his dream, "Shan Shan, didn't you like me before? Why did you stop liking me so quickly? Why didn't you wait for me? I would confess to you after I paid back your money."

"Huh?" Huang Shan was stunned. What did she hear? Did it mean what she thought? Shen Yan liked her, and he knew she liked him. He was working hard to earn money to pay her back, not to cut ties with her!

These words raced through Huang Shan's mind. She covered her chest with one hand, afraid that her heart would leap out.

"Brother Shen Yan, are you... are you telling the truth?"

"Really, how could I possibly lie to you in a dream!" Shen Yan tightened his grip on Huang Shan's hand, as if afraid she would disappear.

"In a dream?" Huang Shan blinked her big eyes. Was she awake, but her mind was still foggy?

The ward door was suddenly pushed open forcefully, and Huang Shan and Shen Yan looked over at the same time.

Chu Rou ran in from outside, panting heavily. She looked Shen Yan up and down, then wiped the sweat from her face. "Brother Shen Yan, I'm so glad you're awake! You scared me to death!"

Shen Yan: ...

How could he be disturbed while confessing his feelings in his dream!
