Everyone in Jiangcheng knew that business magnate Bo Junyi was pure-hearted and abstinent, avoiding women. Nearing thirty, he had never touched a woman, leading to widespread rumors about his sexua...
After hanging up the phone, the driver walked over quickly, nodded slightly to Li Susu and Zhou Huaixu, and opened the back door with a quick movement.
The car drove smoothly, and Zhou Huaixu was the first to break the silence: "Are we going to the hospital to see my uncle?"
The driver glanced in the rearview mirror and raised the corner of his mouth in a standard arc: "Master, you will know when you get there."
Li Susu clenched the strap of her bag tightly, and a light sweat appeared on her palms.
Thinking about meeting Bo Junyi soon, her heart beat faster.
Chu Wanning's shadow always lingers in my mind. Even if I just imagine the scene of the two of them standing side by side, my chest will feel sore.
When the black car stopped in front of the silver-gray skyscraper, Li Susu looked up at the building that reached into the sky, and the glass curtain wall reflected the dazzling sunlight.
"This is a branch of the Bo Group, and it is also a landmark building in the capital of Country S." Zhou Huaixu explained familiarly.
Li Susu sighed, the Bo family was really powerful.
Passing through the corridor, the elevator slowly rose to the sixteenth floor.
The driver knocked on the office door, and a steady voice came from inside, "Come in."
The moment the door opened, Li Susu froze in place.
Bo Mingxiu was reviewing documents at his desk, his eyes gentle and concerned behind his gold-rimmed glasses.
"uncle--"
Zhou Huaixu looked surprised and walked to the desk carelessly: "Uncle, you are so sick, why are you still busy with work? If you have this time, you might as well go back and hug your grandson!"
Bo Mingxiu took off his glasses and smiled tiredly: "I've been looking forward to going back and hugging my darling grandson."
He turned his gaze to Li Susu, his eyes filled with the kindness of an elder, "Susu, thank you for taking care of the children while Jun Yi is away."
Zhou Huaixu crossed his arms over his chest, his tone filled with dissatisfaction: "It's not enough to say that I've worked hard. Where's my cousin? He hasn't been back for so many days. I really want to beat him up!"
Bo Mingxiu's expression was serious: "He can't withstand your punch now."
These words made Li Susu and Zhou Huaixu change their expressions at the same time.
Zhou Huaixu took a step forward and asked, "Uncle, what do you mean by that?"
Bo Mingxiu stood up and poured two cups of warm water. He gently pushed one of them in front of Li Susu and said, "Susu, sit down and rest first. You haven't fully recovered yet, and you won't be able to stand for too long."
Li Susu sat down mechanically, her fingertips tightly gripping the rim of the cup. Bo Mingxiu's words were like a thorn in her heart.
She sipped the water, her voice trembling: "Dad, is Jun Yi hiding something from me?"
Bo Mingxiu sighed deeply and stopped hiding the truth. "A few days ago, he returned to China for the Shen family's affairs. He was afraid that you would be implicated, so he left you in Country S. The day you called Huai Xu and said you wanted to return to China, Jun Yi happened to have just returned."
"On the road, he encountered a car attack by a desperate gang hired by the Shen family. To protect you, he tried his best to stop them, and the car was directly crashed into the river..."
Bo Mingxiu's expression was gloomy. "He was seriously injured, with multiple fractures throughout his body, and his left foot was the most seriously injured. He's undergoing a skin graft surgery today, which may take seven or eight hours."
"Skin grafting?" Li Susu's face turned pale as paper in an instant.
"There's a large area of skin loss on my left foot, and the doctor is going to take skin from my thigh for a transplant..."
Before she finished speaking, tears welled up in Li Susu's eyes.
The image of Bo Junyi covered in wounds appeared in her mind. Her heart felt like someone was clutching it tightly, and the pain was so severe that she could hardly breathe.
She put the cup of water on the coffee table, turned around and rushed out the door.
When she stumbled into the car parked downstairs, Zhou Huaixu followed.
But Bo Mingxiu stopped him.
"Don't make trouble, sit in the back car." Bo Mingxiu's tone left no room for questioning. He caught a glimpse of his nephew's hesitant look and understood what was going on.
This guy not only picked up people across borders, but also took care of the confinement mother. His thoughtfulness was written all over his face.
As an elder, he couldn't speak directly about matters of the heart, so he could only use practical actions to completely dispel his nephew's idea of stealing his girlfriend.
Li Susu waited in the hospital for eight or nine hours.
It was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that the door of the operating room was opened and Bo Junyi was pushed out.
The man lay on the cart, his legs bandaged, his consciousness fluctuating between anesthesia and wakefulness.
In the hazy vision, a familiar figure stumbled towards me.
Tears welled up in her red eyes, and her trembling fingertips hovered above his face, hesitant to let the tears fall.
"Susu..." His cracked lips moved, and his voice was so soft that it sounded like a whisper.
The severe pain after the operation and the effects of the drugs made his mind blurry. The person in front of him was clearly the one he had been thinking about day and night, but he seemed unreal as if separated by a layer of mist.
Perhaps the obsession is too deep, even the hallucination is so clear.
Otherwise, why would she be here?
He wanted to raise his hand to touch the face that he had been dreaming about, but his arm wrapped in gauze felt heavy as if it were filled with lead, and the moment he moved, the wound was torn and it hurt like hell.
Bo Junyi smiled self-deprecatingly.
It must be the drugs, I'm hallucinating again.
His Su Su was looking after the baby in Jiangcheng, how could she suddenly appear in front of him?
Li Susu rushed to the bedside, tightly grasped his gauze-wrapped hands, and hot tears fell down.
"Bo Junyi, don't you recognize me? I'm Susu." Her voice was filled with tears and she was so choked that she could hardly utter a complete sentence.
Bo Junyi moved his eyes with difficulty. The dizziness he felt after the operation gradually faded away, and the figure in front of him finally overlapped with his memory.
The smell of disinfectant was mixed with her familiar fragrance, and the warm palm against his skin, the real touch made his throat tighten.
"Susu, is it really you?" He spoke in a hoarse voice and didn't dare to blink hard, for fear that the person in front of him would disappear like a bubble.
"It's me!" Li Susu buried her face in his palm, her eyelashes stained with tears, "Bo Junyi, why did you hide it from me? These days I've been wondering every day, is it because you have someone else and don't want me and the baby anymore..."
Bo Junyi raised his other hand with great effort, and tremblingly touched the corners of her red eyes, wiping away the rolling tears with his fingertips.
"Silly girl," he chuckled, but it hurt his wound, but his tone was so gentle that it could drip water. "I count the days every day, and I dream of going back to see you and the baby."
Before Bo Junyi finished his words, Li Susu leaned over and gently kissed his forehead which was covered with cold sweat.
This kiss with salty tears seemed to pour out all the worries, grievances and longings of these days.
As Chu Wanning approached in her stilettos, her gaze, as if icy, swept over the scene before her. But when Li Susu looked up at her, her stern face instantly broke into a gentle smile, and she walked towards her with a brisk pace: "Susu, you're finally here! Jun Yi has been in a bad mood these days, always talking about coming back to see you..."
