Ji Wan thought Zhou Zechuan was a light in her life. She willingly hid her brilliance and entered into a secret marriage with him for two years, content to be his kept woman. However, she didn'...
Chapter 449: People in the Hospital
He immediately stood up and strode out of the restaurant, dialing his home phone as he walked.
"Mrs. Zhang, where are Madam and Nian Nian?" His voice was filled with anxiety.
Mrs. Zhang on the other end of the phone was panicking and crying, "Sir, this is terrible! Nian Nian suddenly has a high fever, and my wife has taken the child to the hospital. I was just about to call you, and you see how anxious I am..."
"Which hospital?!" Chi Wenyan's heart suddenly tightened and his voice suddenly rose.
"City...City Children's Hospital!"
"Got it." Chi Wenyan hung up the phone, and the black Bentley rushed into the night like an arrow, the engine making a low roar, leaving the dazzling neon lights far behind.
Damn it!
He was still angry about that boring date and didn't even notice something was wrong at the first time!
At the same time, outside the emergency room of the City Children's Hospital.
Ji Wan sat on a cold plastic bench, holding Nian Nian, who was still half asleep from the fever. Her dress was slightly stained, and her carefully styled hair was a little messy.
There was a dark tint under her eyes, and her face was filled with fatigue and haggardness. Only her eyes, staring at the little person in her arms without blinking, were filled with worry and love.
The doctor examined her and diagnosed her with acute roseola infantum, with a raging fever. After a night of injections, medication, and physical cooling, Nian Nian finally felt somewhat better. Now she nestled weakly in her arms, her face flushed and her breathing rapid.
Mrs. Zhang also looked tired, holding a cup of water and medicine in her hands.
There was a sound of hurried and steady footsteps at the end of the corridor.
Ji Wan subconsciously looked up and saw a tall and straight figure walking towards him quickly.
It’s Chi Wenyan.
He was wearing the expensive suit he wore in the restaurant last night, but it looked a little wrinkled now. His handsome face was obviously anxious and tired. There were even a few strands of hair on his forehead that were wet with sweat and stuck to his full forehead.
"Wanwan!" Chi Wenyan rushed to her in a few steps. His eyes immediately fell on Nian Nian, who was burning red in her arms. His heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand. His voice was slightly hoarse with anxiety. "How is Nian Nian?"
Ji Wan looked at him. A night of fear and exhaustion had left her a little dazed. She opened her mouth, her voice dry and hoarse, "The doctor said it was roseola infantum. I just got an injection, and the fever hasn't completely subsided yet..."
Chi Wenyan squatted down and cautiously reached out his hand, wanting to touch Nian Nian's burning forehead, but afraid of disturbing her, his fingers curled slightly, and finally gently fell on his daughter's soft hair. He looked at Ji Wan's pale and haggard face, his eyes filled with heartache and self-blame: "I'm sorry, I should have come earlier..."
Ji Wan shook her head. At the moment, she didn't have the energy to pursue anything. All her attention was on Nian Nian.
Chi Wenyan said no more and immediately got up to find the doctor to find out the details of the situation. He also arranged the best single room and transferred Ji Wan and Nian Nian there.
Time passed quickly, and it was early morning the next day.
The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the blinds, casting dappled shadows on the floor.
The ward was very quiet, with only the gentle ticking of instruments.
Nian Nian's fever subsided a little and she slept much more soundly.
Ji Wan stayed by the bed, having not slept all night. At this moment, he finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell into a light sleep on the edge of the bed.
Chi Wenyan sat on the sofa not far away. He had not slept all night and looked at the mother and daughter beside the bed with complicated eyes.
After he finished dealing with the hospital matters last night, he immediately started investigating the restaurant voyeurism incident, with almost no rest.
Mrs. Zhang walked in quietly with breakfast and a cell phone. Seeing Chi Wenyan awake, she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
Chi Wenyan raised his eyes: "What's wrong?"
Mrs. Zhang hesitated for a moment, handed the phone over, and said in a low voice, "Sir, please take a look... this morning's news..."
Chi Wenyan took the phone and took a look at it. His pupils suddenly constricted and the temperature of his body dropped to freezing point in an instant.
On his phone screen were several high-definition photos. They were the shots taken last night at the Xingchen revolving restaurant when Su Jiujiu "accidentally" fell towards him! The angles of the photos were extremely tricky. Su Jiujiu was nestled in front of him, her red lips slightly parted, her eyes blurred. Although he leaned back slightly, in the dim light, he could still see a hint of ambiguity.
The title is even more sensational.
"Shocking news! Chi Wenyan, the CEO of the Chi Corporation, had a night out with a mysterious woman in red. They had a candlelight dinner and were happily embracing!"
"A new lover is exposed? Mrs. Chi's position is in jeopardy!"
"Unveiling Chi Wenyan's new favorite: Su Jiujiu, the beautiful CEO of our partner company!"
The news spread like a virus on the Internet, major media platforms rushed to reprint it, and the comment section was in an uproar.
"Bang!" Chi Wenyan threw his cell phone onto the sofa, making a dull sound.
His handsome face was covered with a layer of frost, and his dark eyes were filled with raging anger.
Su Jiujiu! Very good!
The sound startled Ji Wan from her light sleep. She raised her head in confusion and rubbed her sore eyes. Seeing Chi Wenyan's gloomy face and Zhang Sao's anxious expression, her heart skipped a beat.
"What's wrong?" she asked hoarsely.
Chi Wenyan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, walked to her side, and was about to explain, but Ji Wan's eyes fell on the lit mobile phone screen on the sofa.
The enlarged, extremely dazzling photo instantly caught her eye.
In the photo, the man's handsome profile is particularly clear under the candlelight, and the woman in the fiery red dress is almost sticking to him, with an intimate posture and seductive eyes.
The background is a romantic revolving restaurant, and there is a bouquet of bright red roses on the table.
And last night, she was running around the hospital with her daughter who had a high fever, extremely worried. What was he doing? He was having a candlelight dinner with another woman, enjoying a romantic experience!
An indescribable coldness and sourness instantly swept through Ji Wan's body, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
She looked at Chi Wenyan, her eyes changing from confusion to shock, and then to unbelievable pain.
"What's going on?" Her voice trembled slightly, with a hint of sob that she herself was not aware of.
The exhaustion and worry from a sleepless night were replaced by a sharper emotion the moment I saw this photo – a sense of betrayal.
Chi Wenyan looked at Ji Wan's pale face and trembling eyelashes, and felt a sharp pain in his heart. Just as he was about to explain about the photo, the door of the ward was hurriedly pushed open.
The attending physician walked in with a serious look, interrupting the stagnant atmosphere in the ward.
"Mr. Chi, Mrs. Chi, Nian Nian's detailed examination results are out." The doctor's eyes swept over their faces and said in a heavy tone, "The situation is not good."
Ji Wan's heart sank suddenly, and he instantly suppressed the stinging pain brought by the photo. All his attention was focused on the doctor, and his voice was tense: "Doctor, what happened to Nian Nian?"
