Qiao Wanwan returned home absentmindedly, only to be dragged to a restaurant by Su Jing to eat.

"Wanwan, what's wrong? You don't look well. Did something happen?"

Qiao Wanwan composed herself and gently shook her head. "Mom, I'm fine, you don't need to worry."

"No matter how busy you are with work, you must take good rest. Not to mention the Imperial View Group, even the Huo family's assets are enough for you to live comfortably for a lifetime. So the most important thing for you is to take good care of yourself."

"I know." Qiao Wanwan took a few bites and then put down her chopsticks. "Mom, I'm full. I'm going to go check on the children."

"good."

In the nursery, the third child had just woken up and was drinking milk.

"I'll feed her." Qiao Wanwan took the bottle from Zheng Ma. "You've worked hard. Go get some late-night snacks. The nanny will come over later."

"Yes, madam."

Qiao Wanwan picked up the third child and fed him milk powder. "Third child, Mommy has a secret to tell you some good news. Daddy is back... but he's hiding and won't show himself."

"Mommy knows he must have his reasons. He must have encountered some insurmountable difficulties, which is why he's acting this way. Otherwise, he wouldn't want to avoid seeing Mommy and you."

“Baby, even though Daddy's back, Mommy is still very worried. I don't know how your two older brothers are doing, or what happened to Daddy... But we have to look on the bright side. Daddy coming back alive is already the greatest blessing from heaven. Mommy will definitely see Daddy again and find out what happened. Even if the sky falls, we'll stand with him through it all…”

......

The next morning, Qiao Wanwan went out as usual.

“Madam,” Aunt Zheng greeted her and asked, “I heard from the garage that you didn’t drive the car home last night. Which car will you be driving today?”

Qiao Wanwan said, "Let the driver take me."

Zheng Ma said happily, "That's right. We're really worried about you driving yourself. I'll make the arrangements right away."

Qiao Wanwan smiled.

I drove out before to lure Zhan Jingting out, but now there's no need for that anymore.

As soon as Qiao Wanwan arrived at the office, Jiang Dong rushed in anxiously, "Madam, are you sure that person last night was really Master Zhan?"

“I’ve said it before, he and I are husband and wife, how could I not recognize the person I share my bed with?”

Jiang Dong nodded, "I checked the surveillance footage, and the figure does indeed resemble Master Zhan."

“Jingting must have encountered something to prevent him from showing up.” Qiao Wanwan leaned back in her executive chair, deep in thought. “I must find a way to meet with him and get the answers I need to.”

“Madam, if Master Zhan intends to hide, he probably won’t show himself so easily.”

“I have my own way…” Qiao Wanwan thought for a moment and said, “The day after tomorrow, the group’s technology company is having a new product launch. You can make the arrangements, and I will attend in person.”

"Madam, didn't you say you wouldn't attend?"

“I’ve changed my mind. After what happened last night, Jingting will definitely not show up easily, so I can only make him come to see me on his own initiative.”

Jiang Dong nodded. "I understand. I'll make the arrangements right away."

After finishing her work, Qiao Wanwan got up and went to the bathroom in the break room. She took off her clothes, turned on the cold water, and rinsed herself directly.

The icy water made her shiver, but she endured the biting cold and showered for a good ten minutes before wrapping herself in a towel and getting out...

The press conference, which will be held two days later, will start promptly at 10:00 AM.

When Su Jing saw Qiao Wanwan on the live television broadcast, her brow furrowed. "Why does Wanwan look so pale..."

Old Master Huo stared intently at her. "She worked too late last night and didn't come home. How did she suddenly become ill overnight...?"

Su Jing was very worried. "The night before last, she came home wearing a mask and her voice was a little hoarse. She said she had a slight cold and didn't dare to see Lao San for fear of catching it. I made her some cold medicine, but I didn't expect that it would not get better but would get even worse."

"This child doesn't take care of her health at all," said Grandpa Huo. "Go and call Jiang Dong immediately to arrange for a doctor to be on standby. As soon as the press conference ends, start treating her."

"good."

Before the press conference was over, Qiao Wanwan fainted.

The scene was chaotic, and the press conference had to be paused. The last scene of the live broadcast was Qiao Wanwan being helped up and leaving by the crowd.

Qiao Wanwan was rushed to the hospital with a high fever of 39 degrees Celsius. She was delirious with fever, but still forced her eyes open and instructed Jiang Dong, "Security doesn't need to be overly strict..."

Jiang Dong understood her meaning. "Yes, Madam."

Su Jing rushed to the hospital to take care of Qiao Wanwan, and the fever didn't subside until evening.

Qiao Wanwan opened her eyes, smiled at Su Jing, and said, "Mom, I'm fine now. You can go home and rest."

"He said he was fine, but he had a fever of 39 degrees Celsius. His mother was so worried."

"Hasn't the fever gone down now?"

"Mom is worried about that too. I've cooked you some porridge, I'll go get you a bowl now."

"Okay." Qiao Wanwan drank most of the bowl of light porridge, and her stomach felt better. She then urged Su Jing, "Mom, I feel much better. You can go back now."

"I'm worried about you being here all alone." Su Jing touched her face tenderly. "Sweetie, go to sleep. I'll stay here with you."

Qiao Wanwan could only lie down first, and while Su Jing went to the kitchen, she took out her phone and sent a message.

A short while later, Su Jing rushed out with her phone in hand. "I got a call from home saying that my third son isn't feeling well, so I have to go home."

"Okay, you can go back now."

"You go to sleep quietly. Mom will come and stay with you once I've made sure you're okay."

"Um."

After Su Jing left, Qiao Wanwan finally breathed a sigh of relief and called over the bodyguards at the door, "Jiang Dong has already explained everything to you, right?"

"Don't worry, Madam, everything has been explained."

"Okay, that's all. You can go now."

"yes."

Qiao Wanwan closed her eyes and quickly drifted off to sleep.

......

In the early hours of the morning, the VIP floor was completely silent.

At the entrance, two bodyguards on duty were dozing off.

Suddenly, a doctor pushed a medical cart over.

The bodyguard immediately perked up, "What are you doing here?"

"Change the dressing."

The bodyguard checked his work permit before letting him in. "Go in."

In the ward, Qiao Wanwan was sleeping on the bed.

The doctor stepped forward and took out a new IV bottle to replace it for her.

He looked at Qiao Wanwan on the hospital bed, hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly reached out and gently touched her pale face.

Suddenly, Qiao Wanwan on the hospital bed opened her eyes and grabbed his wrist tightly before he could react!

Their eyes met, and both of them were stunned for a moment.

Even through her mask, Qiao Wanwan could clearly see into the man's eyes, and exclaimed with delight, "Jing Ting, it's you! I knew it was you!"
