Chapter 108

After spending two more days in the hospital, Chen Ningsheng finally found a doctor to give Xu Xinchen a thorough medical check-up. Only after confirming that everything was fine did he take Xu Xinchen back to their home.

During the time Xu Xinchen was hospitalized, Chen Ningsheng treated the hospital as his home and rarely returned to this house. Apart from the occasional cleaning, the house was almost devoid of human presence.

The first thing Xu Xinchen did upon returning home was to quickly open all the curtains in the windows to let the sunlight into the house and dispel the cool air inside.

After drawing the curtains, Xu Xinchen turned around and saw Chen Ningsheng standing behind her, arms crossed, smiling at her.

Xu Xinchen immediately blushed and said to Chen Ningsheng, "What are you looking at? Go do your serious business."

Chen Ningsheng smiled and stepped forward, reaching out to hug Xu Xinchen: "Xinchen, you are my most important thing right now."

Xu Xinchen couldn't help but laugh, but she still couldn't help but mutter a few words to Chen Ningsheng: "How dare you say that? You've been staying in the hospital for so long, you must have neglected the company a lot. If you don't hurry up and go back to work, what will happen to your company?"

Hearing Xu Xinchen's words, Chen Ningsheng patted her hair helplessly: "Xinchen, don't worry about things at the company, I'll handle everything. But what about you? What do you want to do now?"

As Chen Ningsheng spoke, he asked Xu Xinchen with a serious expression, "After working at Gu Yan's company, such a big thing happened. Don't tell me you still want to go back to work at Gu Yan's company."

Upon hearing Chen Ningsheng's words, Xu Xinchen immediately shook her head: "No, no, how could I possibly go back to Gu?"

Yan works at her company.

Putting aside the fact that Gu Yan got involved with Lu Shuangshuang for no reason and wanted to cause her to break up with Chen Ningsheng, just consider the trap Gu Yan set for Chen Ningsheng through her. Because of that incident, she will never go back to Gu Yan's company again.

Upon hearing Xu Xinchen's words, Chen Ningsheng immediately pressed, "Then where do you want to go? Why don't you come back to my company? This time, you can work in sales or HR, it's up to you, okay?"

As he was speaking, Chen Ningsheng seemed to remember something, and his face immediately fell: "But there's one thing I need to tell you first, you can't eat with random men anymore, or I'll get jealous."

Xu Xinchen listened to Chen Ningsheng's words, which were full of male chauvinism, but surprisingly, she didn't feel annoyed. Instead, she genuinely felt Chen Ningsheng's feelings for her.

She smiled and shook her head: "No, I don't plan to work at your company anymore. I've decided to look for another job and work hard to grow and improve myself."

Chen Ningsheng frowned deeply: "Which company are you going to work for? Why so suddenly? Wouldn't it be better to go back to my company? This time I really won't hold you back anymore."

Seeing Chen Ningsheng's conflicted expression, Xu Xinchen's heart softened, and she grabbed him and hugged his waist: "I know what you're thinking, but I can't rely on you forever."

Chen Ningsheng's lips were clenched, and he looked very unhappy: "I'm willing to let you rely on me. You're my woman. If you don't rely on me, who else do you want to rely on?"

Hearing Chen Ningsheng's chauvinistic words, Xu Xinchen's heart clenched, and a silent sigh escaped her lips. Chen Ningsheng was still the same. If it were the old her, she would have already been with him.

They started arguing.

Such a chauvinistic attitude, I wonder who taught him that. But when I think about what Chen Ningsheng did for me during my hospitalization, Xu Xinchen can no longer say anything to blame him. Maybe chauvinism has its advantages.

In my past life, I've seen too many couples where one spouse gets sick and the other just acts out their own drama. Now I've met Chen Ningsheng, someone who's willing to stay by my side when I'm sick.

She's lucky that someone doesn't even care about their image or the company. Thinking of this, Xu Xinchen immediately softened her heart: "Come with me, I'll explain it to you slowly, okay?"

As Xu Xinchen spoke, she pulled Chen Ningsheng toward the sofa. Chen Ningsheng's lips were tight, and he still looked very unhappy, but he did not stop Xu Xinchen's actions and let her pull him to the sofa.

Xu Xinchen pressed Chen Ningsheng onto the sofa, turned around and went into the kitchen to pour two glasses of milk left in the refrigerator. After handing the milk to Chen Ningsheng, she sat down herself.

“Ning Sheng…”

Xu Xinchen said softly, "As you know, your father is unwilling to accept me at all. I've thought about it, and besides the fact that my family background is not a good match for yours, there's probably another reason why he doesn't trust me."

“After all, you own a company. If we were to be together, it wouldn’t be good for me to do nothing and just stay at home enjoying your contributions. I guess your father wanted to introduce Chen Bailing to you for the same reason.”

“Chen Bailing’s family background is a good match for yours, and she herself should have the ability to be a good wife for you, helping you with various interpersonal relationships and doing some things at the company that she can do. She can definitely do all of these things.”

Chen Ningsheng's lips were taut, and he wanted to interrupt Xu Xinchen: "Xinchen..." He had only said two words when Xu Xinchen immediately cut him off.

"Don't speak yet, listen to me carefully. I've thought about these things carefully."

Chen Ningsheng frowned. Xu Xinchen had praised Chen Bailing too highly and put herself too low, which gave him a bad feeling. He was worried that Xu Xinchen would think she was not as good as Chen Bailing and planned to leave him.

Therefore, he grabbed Xu Xinchen's hand and pulled her into his arms: "Baby, listen to me. No matter what Chen Bailing's family background or ability is, I don't like her. I don't necessarily need to marry a wife with a good family background and ability to help me to get by. Look at my company, it has come this far without any help from anyone."

Xu Xinchen smiled and nodded, reaching out to touch Chen Ningsheng's hair: "Of course I know your abilities. I have never denied your abilities and I am proud of you, but this is still just you."
