Chapter 34 Terminal Illness

Upon seeing Fu Shangluo, Yun Zhaozhao and Pei Jiuyan reacted differently. Yun Zhaozhao was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Brother Shangluo, I'm fine."

After saying that, she looked at Pei Jiuyan warily, afraid that he would do something rash. This man was like a mad dog now, biting anyone he could get his hands on.

However, Pei Jiuyan did not go crazy as she had imagined. Instead, she politely extended her hand to Fu Shangluo.

"Professor Fu, I've long admired your name."

Fu Shangluo glanced at Pei Jiuyan's outstretched hand, gently squeezed it, and then released it, saying calmly, "I have long admired President Pei's reputation."

They knew each other, but had never met face to face, yet they had heard too much about each other.

Pei Jiuyan's gaze lingered on Fu Shangluo's face for a second before shifting away. He felt a pang of jealousy; Fu Shangluo was even more handsome than in the photos, and the little princess always believed that looks were everything.

He caught Yun Zhaozhao's eye because of his face.

But now, Yun Zhaozhao is already tired of seeing it.

Yun Zhaozhao had no idea that Pei Jiuyan's thought process had gone completely off track. She looked at the pretentious Pei Jiuyan with some concern.

"Brother Shangluo, I'm fine. You can go ahead and do what you need to do."

Upon hearing this, Fu Shangluo's eyes darkened. He didn't say much in front of Pei Jiuyan, only saying, "I went to the hotel to find you, and the receptionist told me that you had been taken to the hospital. I thought you were alone. I'm relieved that you have someone to take care of you. I have something to do, so I'll leave first. Zhaozhao, take care of yourself."

As Fu Shangluo spoke, he subconsciously wanted to pat Yun Zhaozhao's head, but he refrained from doing so when he remembered that Pei Jiuyan was there.

Once Fu Shangluo left, Yun Zhaozhao's smile faded, and she lay down without even looking at Pei Jiuyan.

Pei Jiuyan wanted to get angry, but thinking about what happened last night, he held back.

Seeing that Yun Zhaozhao didn't want him to leave, he stayed in the ward to keep watch.

Pei Jiuyan had a lot on his plate, and when Yun Zhaozhao was woken up by his phone call for the second time, she exploded and threw a pillow at him.

"Pei Jiuyan, get out of here."

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. I'll go out now. You get some rest."

Pei Jiuyan said ingratiatingly.

Three days later, Yun Zhaozhao was finally able to be discharged from the hospital. Pei Jiuyan took her directly back to Kyoto. Just as she expected, as soon as they got off the plane, Pei Jiuyan had the driver take them to a private hospital.

Both that hospital and the Zhou family's hospital are famous hospitals in Kyoto. Yun Zhaozhao's heart sank, and she said impatiently, "I want to go home."

"Baby, be good, let's go get checked again."

Pei Jiuyan gently coaxed him. Yun Zhaozhao had terrified him that day. Later, he asked several doctors and confirmed what the doctors in S City had said, but for some reason, he still felt uneasy.

Yun Zhaozhao's health has been very poor lately. She had stomach pain before, and now she has this problem. In addition, she is very thin, yet she is so determined to get a divorce.

Pei Jiuyan was very flustered, but he didn't dare to show it. He just kept coaxing Yun Zhaozhao.

Yun Zhaozhao, however, was unmoved: "If you're going to the hospital, go alone. I'm going home."

"Baby……"

Pei Jiuyan wanted to say something, but Yun Zhaozhao impatiently interrupted him: "I said I want to go home, Pei Jiuyan, can't you even understand human language now?"

She knew how to shut people up, and even though Pei Jiuyan was prepared, she was still infuriated by her sharp tongue.

He ground his back teeth and couldn't help but say, "Yun Zhaozhao, who can stand your bad temper?"

"I didn't make you suffer. I've already given you the divorce papers. You just need to sign them and you'll be free."

Yun Zhaozhao said, not wanting to be at a disadvantage at all.

Pei Jiuyan pointed at Yun Zhaozhao with a heart full of resentment, too angry to speak.

Assistant Qin acted as an invisible man in front of him, and he knew that their boss had never won against his wife, especially when it came to words.

Pei Jiuyan loosened his tie, paused for a moment, and said, "I've already made all the arrangements. I'll be with you the whole time. It won't hurt, and there won't be any smell..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yun Zhaozhao had already opened the car door. Seeing that the door was half open, Pei Jiuyan lunged forward and closed it, veins bulging on his forehead.

"Yun Zhaozhao, are you fucking crazy?"

Although the car wasn't going fast, it would definitely cause damage if it continued like this.

He could allow Yun Zhaozhao to act however she wanted, but he wouldn't allow her to hurt herself.

Yun Zhaozhao looked up at him: "Can you understand what I'm saying now?"

She was exhausted. Why couldn't he understand anything she said?

She said she didn't want to go to the hospital, but he insisted she go; she said she didn't like Shuwen, but he said he only saw Shuwen as a younger sister; she said Whale and the others were just her friends, but he suspected their relationship was ambiguous; even when she said she wanted a divorce, he just thought she was throwing a tantrum.

Seeing the coldness and exhaustion in Yun Zhaozhao's eyes, Pei Jiuyan felt a pang of pain in her heart. Her insistence on not going to the hospital only confirmed her suspicions.

He couldn't help but hug Yun Zhaozhao tightly, his voice trembling: "Zhaozhao, don't be afraid, Brother Jiu is here. We'll go to the hospital to see a doctor, everything will be alright."

"You think I have a terminal illness?"

Yun Zhaozhao pushed Pei Jiuyan away, finding it somewhat amusing.

"No, no, the baby is fine, nothing will happen."

Pei Jiuyan said urgently, he couldn't even bear to hear the words 'terminal illness'.

Yun Zhaozhao pouted: "Pei Jiuyan, if you want to go crazy, go crazy by yourself, don't drag me into it."

"If I really had a terminal illness, I wouldn't be so magnanimous as to leave you and let you have your way. I would drag you down with me, I would make you die in front of me, and I would make sure you never find peace in the afterlife."

Upon hearing this, Pei Jiuyan not only wasn't angry, but actually laughed.

"good."

He liked Yun Zhaozhao clinging to him like this; at least it made him feel that he was still important to Yun Zhaozhao.

Seeing Pei Jiuyan's unyielding attitude, Yun Zhaozhao was completely annoyed.

"parking."

She shouted, but the car didn't stop.

"parking!"

Yun Zhaozhao called out again. Seeing that her expression was not right, Pei Jiuyan tapped the back of the seat to signal the driver to stop the car. The car stopped, and Yun Zhaozhao opened the car door and got out. Pei Jiuyan followed closely behind.

Yun Zhaozhao didn't know where she was. She just didn't want to stay in the same space as Pei Jiuyan anymore. She felt like she couldn't breathe.

Hearing footsteps behind her, she felt even more irritated. Coincidentally, there was a jewelry store nearby, so she turned and went inside.

Seeing her enter the jewelry store, Pei Jiuyan remembered something and went to the side to make a phone call.

Seeing that he hadn't followed, Yun Zhaozhao breathed a sigh of relief. She spotted a nice gold bracelet with a unique design and a cute little cat paw print on the pendant.

She asked the shop assistant to take a look, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it. Just as she was about to buy it, Pei Jiuyan came in without her noticing, glanced at it, and said, "This is terrible."

As he spoke, he pushed a pigeon-blood red bracelet in front of Yun Zhaozhao: "This one suits you better."
