Chapter 40: Why did you have to tell me now that you've disappeared?

Wen Ruan asked, "Has Gu Cheng woken up?"

Wen Han pretended to go wash the fruit, but secretly pricked up her ears.

The butler sighed, "Young Master is alright, but... he's really caused trouble this time."

“Young Master Fang, after all, we were in the wrong first, and you beat him up like that. If the other party calls the police, it will be very difficult for the Gu family.”

Wen Han gently turned off the tap, shook the apple in her hand, and walked to the bedside.

"Right now, we can only try to negotiate with the Fang family to reach a settlement—" The butler frowned when he saw the apple in Wen Han's hand, "You just brought it over like that?"

"I've already washed."

Wen Ruan quickly said thank you and took the apple, afraid that the housekeeper might say something that would anger Wen Han.

The housekeeper was completely oblivious and even lectured Wen Han: "It's inconvenient for a patient to eat a whole apple. You should have used a knife to cut it into pieces. How do you usually do things at home? Didn't your parents teach you?"

Wen Han nodded: "That makes sense. You seem to have a lot of experience serving people all these years."

Wen Ruan whispered, "Wen Han!"

The butler's expression was very unpleasant. This Wen Han clearly received the same education as Wen Ruan, so why was she so rude?

Wen Han yawned: "So, how are we going to get back? Should we make a phone call?"

Wen Ruan's face was pale: "No, I'm almost better now, let's not let them worry."

Indeed, Wen Qingke is still completely in the dark.

The butler's phone suddenly rang. Without a doubt, it was Gu Zong calling him to say something. He said a few words to Wen Ruan and then left in a hurry.

The old man ran pretty fast. Wen Han asked Wen Ruan, "Does his father know about your relationship?"

Wen Ruan shook her head somewhat embarrassedly.

Wen Han knew what he was worried about: "That's a bit troublesome. After what happened tonight, what will he think of you?"

"I..."

"Although hitting someone is definitely Gu Cheng's fault, if his father is the unreasonable type," Wen Han muttered to herself, "he'll definitely take it out on you."

Wen Han sighed, "I knew I shouldn't have brought you. Now look what's happened. We don't even know if Gu Cheng has a marriage partner, but his father has already remembered you."

"Let's go, let's take a taxi back." Wen Han asked, "Are you still able to walk?"

Wen Ruan was still a little dizzy when he stood up. Normally, Wen Han would never have helped him up, but Wen Han was feeling very guilty right now. Her tough attitude towards the butler earlier was just a facade. If Gu Zong became suspicious and came to investigate, Wen Han wasn't sure if she could give a flawless answer without Jing Yu being there.

Eager to take Wen Ruan back, Wen Han lent a hand. Unexpectedly, Wen Ruan took advantage of the situation and put most of her weight on him, causing him to stumble every time he walked.

"Hey, hey, hey," Wen Han complained. "You're only a little shorter than me. How am I supposed to walk if you're all on top of me? What if we all fall and end up in the hospital?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Ruan forced herself to get up. The two of them finally managed to leave the ward, only to find that Lin He, that bastard, was wandering around in the corridor. His eyes lit up when he saw them.

Lin He smiled and said, "Oh, so you're getting ready to go back already?"

"Could you take him home?" Wen Han was afraid that Lin He might cause some serious trouble if he stayed at the hospital. "I can't move him by myself, so please take him home."

"Your house is on the top floor, that must be a bit difficult."

Wen Han gritted her teeth: "Really? I never knew you were so weak."

Lin He smiled but remained silent: "And what about you? You just stood there watching?"

"I'll put my arm around his, and you put your arm around his, is that alright?"

"Oh, that's great!" Lin He said, "I just passed by Gu Cheng's ward, and his father was in really high spirits. His cursing could be heard clearly outside."

Wen Han really wanted to kick him to death. Damn it, we were almost at the elevator, did he have to say it now?!

"That's it," Wen Ruan immediately stopped and asked anxiously, "Is Gu Cheng being scolded?"

Wen Han was speechless: "Isn't it right for him to be scolded? He caused such a big mess."

Wen Ruan pursed her lips: "I have to go and try to persuade them; it's my fault too."

Wen Han impatiently let go of his hand, and Wen Ruan almost fell, but was caught by Lin He: "Then you have to figure it out yourself. I don't want to go there."

Lin He steadily supported Wen Ruan, even having the leisure to glance at Wen Han with a smile: "Isn't this a bad idea? If I, an Alpha, help him over, what if Gu Cheng gets even angrier?"

Wen Han acted as if it were none of her business. If Gu Zong weren't around, Lin He would definitely be happy to provoke Gu Cheng. He just wanted to stir up trouble but didn't want to get himself involved.

Wen Ruan's eyes were filled with tears: "Wen Han, please, take me there."

Lin He was still mouthing: Don't you want to see some fun?

Wen Han glared at him.

The next second, Wen Han called out to the medical staff and asked them to help Wen Ruan over.

——

As soon as Wen Han entered Jing Yu's ward, she started hitting him relentlessly.

"Ouch!" Lin He stood on tiptoe to protect his face. "I didn't do anything, why are you so angry?"

"Pah!" Wen Han was furious. "Now that's great, how am I supposed to go back if he doesn't go back!"

Lin He spread his hands and laughed, "Why don't you come stay at my place?"

Wen Han suddenly stomped on his foot.

"Oh, it's still early, only a little past nine." Lin He comforted him, seeing his cold expression. "Want me to take you there to eavesdrop?"

"No," Wen Han said irritably. "If you want to hear it so badly, go listen from the doorway yourself."

Wen Han peeled the apple, but he didn't have much patience. He just cut the apple a couple of times, used a knife to cut out a piece for Jing Yu, and ate the rest himself.

“It’s already been reported by the media.” Lin He smiled. “The Gu family invited quite a few media outlets today, but now they’ve shot themselves in the foot.”

Wen Han ordered, "Bring it here so I can see it."

Lin He held up his phone: "Come and take a look."

Wen Han ignored him: "Jing Yu, let me see your phone."

Jing Yu moved aside a little, freeing up half of the pillow, and Wen Han leaned against it, watching Jing Yu find the page to show him.

The reporter vividly described Gu Cheng's fierce, selfless, and super-A-like demeanor when he hit someone, and Wen Han couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"There's also a video." Wen Han clicked on it impatiently, but a 404 error page appeared the next second.

"Why is it gone?"

Lin He said casually, "Removing a trending topic costs a lot of money."

"Guess what I heard Gu Zong say just now at the ward door?"

Wen Han wanted to hear it, but was afraid he might make some demands, so she pretended not to care.

Lin He suddenly frowned: "If you weren't my only child, I would have abandoned you long ago!"

"Hmph, what, regretting not having more children when you were young? It's too late now. If you're not afraid, go ahead and mess around!"

Wen Han's laughter faded as she looked at Gu Cheng with such a menacing expression; what was Liu Chuanze going to do?

Seeing that Wen Han's smile had faded, Jing Yu knew what he was worried about and reached out to scratch his eyelashes.

Wen Han felt a ticklish sensation in front of her eyes and smiled as she reached out to touch his eyelashes, but Jing Yu wasn't ticklish at all and remained motionless.

Lin He felt a pang of jealousy: "Hey, don't you really want to see Wen Ruan's past?"

Wen Han thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you go over and record it?"

"You really know how to order people around," Lin He suddenly asked. "Wen Han, did you take off the other brooches from your clothes?"

Wen Han was startled and quickly touched her chest, only to find it empty. Where did it go?
