Lin Rushuang had been with Li Wenyuan since she was eighteen. Due to an accident, her deaf ears regained hearing while saving him.
Excited, she prepared to tell him the news, only to find him...
Chapter 41 You Sit in the Back
The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.
Lin Rushang was silent for a while before she heard herself asking him calmly.
"Boss Li is so considerate of his subordinates. Not only did he personally accompany them, he also gave them a laptop as a gift."
Li Wenyuan snorted lightly, his tone was indifferent, and there was no sign of abnormality in his engraved facial features.
"Newcomers should always be encouraged. She's a director now. Sometimes when she goes out to negotiate contracts, she's carrying a laptop that's prone to crashing at any moment. People would laugh at us, saying our Lide director doesn't even have a working laptop. This is also for the company's reputation."
Lin Rushang lowered her eyelids slightly to hide the emotions in her eyes.
"I've been using my computer for quite a while now, and since Director Jiang wants to buy one today, why don't we buy it together? Maybe there's a discount."
She turned to look at the salesperson.
"Is there a discount if I buy two?"
The salesperson didn't expect that the laptop would be so expensive. It was actually very difficult for her to sell one in a month.
Some people even bought two at once.
She nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, yes, of course there's a discount. What color would you like?"
Lin Rushuang took a look at the pink color placed in front of Jiang Yuyan, which was very much in line with the preferences of a girl of her age.
She pointed to the one on the far right.
"I want white. Please wrap it up and this gentleman will pay for it together."
When the salesperson heard this, he subconsciously glanced at Li Wenyuan, his eyes filled with gossip and inquiry.
People who work outside more or less understand the ins and outs of relationships between men and women. As the saying goes, even if you haven't eaten pork, have you seen a pig run?
The relationship between these three people is not that simple.
However, the salesperson still helped to wrap it up with a smile.
When paying, Li Wenyuan swiped the card, and Jiang Yuyan and Lin Rushang stood on his left and right.
Lin Rushang glanced at Li Wenyuan and pretended to be puzzled.
"Wenyuan, you don't look very well. Are you feeling unwell?"
Li Wenyuan was dazed for a moment, then said calmly.
"Nothing, I'm a little tired from the meeting today."
"I thought you felt bad for buying a computer for Director Jiang and me all at once, but to be honest, I'm just an ordinary employee now, so there's really no need for such an expensive laptop."
There was guilt in Lin Rushang's tone, and there was a sense of self-pity and brokenness between her eyebrows.
Li Wenyuan took the card and put it back into his wallet.
"We'll buy whatever you want, as long as you're happy. I was planning to buy you one just now."
Lin Rushang couldn't suppress the sarcasm at the corner of her lips, and she subconsciously raised her eyes and looked deeply at Li Wenyuan.
"Yeah?"
"Of course, but it would be better if you choose for yourself. Okay, let's go back first."
Li Wenyuan walked out with Lin Rushuang and Jiang Yuyan. Lin Rushuang noticed that his frown had not relaxed at all.
Isn't he trying to have the best of both worlds?
Why don’t you look very happy now? Isn’t this what all men should expect?
Lin Rushang was just about to open the passenger door when Li Wenyuan pointed to the back seat.
"Let Jiang Yuyan sit in the front. She'll get carsick easily if she sits in the back."
Lin Rushuang subconsciously tightened her hand that was holding the passenger door handle, and her internal organs felt like they were suffocating.
Jiang Yuyan stood beside him, her palm-sized face was pale with a rosy glow, her eyes were moist and looked particularly pure.
"I'm sorry, Sister Rushuang, I hope you don't mind."
Before Lin Rushang could answer, Li Wenyuan spoke first.
"Rushuang won't mind. She never gets carsick. Let's get in the car."
Li Wenyuan didn't seem to have the patience to waste time dealing with this.
Jiang Yuyan looked at Lin Rushuang again, nodded slightly at her, opened the passenger door and sat in.
Lin Rushuang stood there, her tense nerves collapsing in an instant.
After a while, she slowly came to her senses and slowly opened the car door and sat in the back. She didn't know why, but suddenly she felt a little stuffy and couldn't breathe.
Jiang Yuyan happened to say to Li Wenyuan at this time: "A Yuan, could you please take me to the airport? My mom is coming to see me. I was thinking of taking a taxi, but I didn't expect you to accompany me to buy a computer."
"It's okay, it's just on the way."
Lin Rushang clenched her fingertips tightly, and her lips also looked pale. Li Wenyuan did not ask for her opinion.
He didn't even ask her if she had anything to do later.
She sat in the car, completely like a transparent person.
At this time, Jiang Yuyan turned her head and asked Lin Rushuang with gestures.
"Sister Rushuang, I'm so sorry. My mother came to Yuncheng to see me. It's too late for me to take a taxi at this hour. If it's not convenient for you, why don't you take a taxi back first?"
Of course Lin Rushuang didn't want to squeeze in with them.
She said to Li Wenyuan, "Just drop me off at the intersection ahead. I'm feeling a little unwell right now. I'll take a taxi to the hospital for a checkup. I'll leave my things in your car."
Upon hearing this, Li Wenyuan looked up through the car mirror above his head and glanced at Lin Rushuang, who looked unhappy in the back seat.
"Are you feeling unwell? Otherwise, wait for me to get her mother to come and see you. Just find a coffee shop and wait for me for a while."
But Lin Rushuang wanted to say that she couldn't wait any longer. She felt short of breath and couldn't breathe even in her current condition.
The suffocating feeling of her heart being squeezed made her heartbeat abnormally accelerate. She felt that if she didn't go to the hospital, she might die suddenly here.
She covered her chest with her hands, and her voice was trembling.
"No need, I'll take a taxi to the hospital first, and you can come find me later."
"Alright."
Lin Rushang suddenly felt a dull pain in her chest.
If in the past, she said she was not feeling well, no matter how mild or severe the discomfort was, Li Wenyuan would immediately send her to the hospital.
Now, his health condition is far worse than when he went to pick up Jiang Yuyan's mother.
Li Wenyuan really dropped Lin Rushuang off at the fork in the road ahead, but it was now rush hour and he couldn't get a taxi.
She waited for a long time, but nothing happened.
The pressure in my chest was so strong that my whole body began to feel weak, and I finally collapsed to the ground.
Suddenly, a familiar white car stopped beside her. Lin Rushang's heart skipped a beat. Was it Li Wenyuan who had returned?
She strained to tilt her neck back, only to discover that it was He Tingchen. Her slightly bright eyes dimmed instantly.
He Tingchen also successfully caught the subtle expression on her face. He curled his lips and sneered, his voice as cold as ever.
"Why, you seemed disappointed to see me? Did you think your Li Wenyuan, who was taking his lover for a ride, had a change of heart and came back to pick you up?"
Lin Rushuang didn't know why she always met He Tingchen when she was in the most embarrassing situation.
I guess there is some grudge or resentment that has not been settled in the previous life.
Lin Rushuang said self-deprecatingly, "People are sometimes quite mean, always thinking of things that are impossible to happen."
He Tingchen feigned disappointment, crossed his arms over his chest, and maintained his casual tone.
"You are such a stubborn woman. Shouldn't you just say, 'I'm waiting for you here on purpose,' how romantic it would be."
