Li Liyang held the resignation letter and quickly glanced through it. "You wrote that you resigned due to family reasons. I know that's definitely not the real reason. Can you tell me more about it? Maybe I can help you."

Looking at the manager's sincere eyes, Li Ji almost wavered, but he simply couldn't tell the real reason. This involved violating the company's rules and regulations, and the manager couldn't help him.

He hesitated to speak, and finally just lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, manager, I can't say it."

Li Liyang looked at him and thought for a moment, "I think you were acting on impulse. Go back and think about it first. I'll just pretend nothing happened today."

After saying that, he tore up the resignation letter.

Li Ji was obviously surprised. He always thought that he had little presence in the department and was not very dedicated to his work, so it should be easy to resign this time. However, he was still persuaded to stay by the manager.

Seeing that his resignation was hopeless, he left the manager's office angrily.

However, although he failed to resign this time, he will not give up.

At this time, it's already time to get off work.

All the colleagues in the office have left.

Only Tonghua was left there. Li Ji walked out and asked with a hint of confusion, "Tonghua, why aren't you leaving yet?"

Tonghua said calmly, "I still have some things to deal with."

Although she had finished the work that required overtime, she was nervous all day. She thought she would know the final result immediately, but she didn't expect that she would have to wait from morning to afternoon and then until the end of get off work, and the evaluation results were still not out.

The company's internal website was refreshed over and over again, but there was no new information.

It seems that there will be no results today.

She packed her things and left work.

Normally, she should have gone to the market to buy vegetables, but maybe she had been too busy with work recently, and when she relaxed after work, she realized that her body felt very tired.

I sat on the sofa and couldn't recover for a long time.

I went upstairs to check, but Qin Zun hadn't come back yet.

She made a phone call, her tone rather weak: "Mr. Qin, will you come back for dinner tonight?"

Qin Zun on the other end received the call and frowned: "I'm coming back, what's wrong?"

Tonghua didn't dare to say anything and let him solve the dinner problem himself. After all, it was he who paid for his living expenses, but she felt a little unwell today.

She forced herself to say, "So what do you want to eat tonight?"

"Whatever you want."

"OK."

Since he didn't care what to eat in the evening, she would just make something simple.

She dragged her heavy steps to the kitchen and cooked a bowl of noodles.

Unlike usual noodles which either have poached eggs or various vegetables, this is just a simple bowl of vegetarian noodles.

After being busy for a while, Tonghua felt more and more uncomfortable. She returned to her room, didn't even take a shower, and simply pulled back the quilt and fell asleep.

Not long after, Qin Zun returned home. Actually, he didn't want to go home at the moment. After what happened, it was a blessing that he didn't attack Tonghua.

But this marriage must be maintained now. The old man values ​​her very much, and he also needs this marriage to achieve his own goals. It would be best to let people around him know that after experiencing this marriage, he has lost hope in married life, and they will no longer think about introducing him to daughters of wealthy families.

In fact, from this perspective, aren't her selfish behaviors exactly what he wants?

But why do I still feel unhappy or even angry when I see her having an affair with others?

He returned home and looked at the lonely bowl of vegetarian noodles on the table, and the veins on his forehead twitched.

He said to just do it casually, and she just gave him a perfunctory response?

Not only was dinner a bowl of plain noodles without even a single leaf of vegetable, but the noodles were already clumped together.

Even dogs won’t eat this kind of noodles if you feed them to them!

He went upstairs angrily and knocked on Tonghua's door, but no one came to open it.

Is she feeling guilty and afraid to come out and see him?

Qin Zun turned the door handle and found that the door was not locked.

He pushed the door open and saw Tonghua sleeping on the bed.

She treated him to such a perfunctory dinner, but she herself was sleeping soundly now.

Anger made him ignore some unreasonable things, such as the weak tone of Tonghua's voice when she called, and why she went to bed so early today.

"Is this the dinner you prepared for me?"

He was just about to pull Tonghua up to question her, but when he touched her hand, he found that it was a little warm.

Only then did he realize something was wrong. Tonghua in the quilt had a flushed face and sweat on his forehead. His expression in his sleep was a little distorted, and he seemed to be in great discomfort.

Is she sick?

No, what if it’s a self-torture tactic?

It is not impossible to win his sympathy.

He hesitated.

But looking at the person in front of him, his face became redder and his breathing became more rapid.

He chose to put aside his doubts first and gently pushed Tonghua, trying to wake her up, but Tonghua didn't respond.

Looks like I need to go to the hospital.

He had no choice but to pick up Tonghua from the bed.

He carried her all the way to the passenger seat of the car and didn't forget to fasten her seat belt.

After everything was ready, he stepped on the accelerator and drove out.

But now is the rush hour for getting off work, there are endless vehicles on the road and the traffic jam is extremely serious.

Seeing the traffic jams everywhere on the road, he became anxious and slammed the steering wheel hard.

I've never felt that traffic was so congested before, why is there such a traffic jam today?

After waiting for ten minutes, the car he was driving still didn't move.

He glanced at the endless line of vehicles, then touched Tonghua's forehead, the temperature of which was obviously much higher than that of a normal person.

Finally, he made a decision.

In such an urgent situation, walking is faster than driving.

He opened the car door and carried Tonghua out from the passenger seat.

I almost ran all the way to the hospital.

On the way here, he called his good friend Fang Zhengfan, so as soon as he arrived at the hospital, a doctor took Tonghua and sent her for treatment.

In the VIP ward, the doctor was examining Tonghua.

Although Qin Zun didn't show it on his face, his hand, which had been clenched into a fist at his side, revealed his mood.

Fang Zhengfan stayed with him outside the door.

Not long after, the doctor came out after examining me.

Qin Zun immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is she?"

The doctor took off his mask and spoke in a calm tone, "This patient has a viral infection and fever caused by excessive fatigue and a weakened immune system. Overall, it's not a serious problem. He only needs three days of intravenous drips."

Hearing that it was not a big problem, Qin Zun's tense spirit relaxed.
