Chapter 31 Cold-blooded and Ruthless CEO Chi

The family doctor was waiting at home. Chi Zhao led his people in and the doctor immediately came to greet them.

"President Chi."

"Yes, show it to him."

The doctor looked up and exclaimed, "Oh, isn't this that big star from last time?"

Back then, he was cursing President Chi, looking like a steadfast little man forced by President Chi. But this time... he's following behind President Chi, acting all coy and hesitant, looking like a little husband again.

The world of young people is truly hard to understand.

The doctor didn't want to say much to the boss, so he focused on examining Lin Huai.

Chi Zhao said from the side, "It seems like he's been drugged. You should see how to counteract the effects of this drug."

Lin Huai silently brought his legs together to conceal something unusual, his cheeks flushed like the sunset, beautiful and radiant.

Chi Zhao ignored him, and after speaking, he sat down and started playing on his phone.

Having lived a lifetime in both the post-apocalyptic and ancient times, she had lost count of how long it had been since she last touched a mobile phone. So in this modern world, she was either working and completing tasks or playing on her mobile phone—it was fun, she loved playing, and she played a lot.

When the doctor heard that the other person had taken Chinese medicine, she was first stunned, and then a question mark appeared on her face. She thought it was just an injury, but she didn't expect it to be Chinese medicine. Of course, Chinese medicine needs to be tested with instruments!

What good is it for me to come here!

So late at night, Lin Huai went to Chi Zhao's hospital again.

This was Chi Zhao's father's medical business, which became hers after his death.

She ruthlessly refused the system's request to go in and accompany the male supporting character, and ignored his anxious and lingering gaze, silently sitting outside waiting for the test results.

The results came out quickly at our own hospital.

"It's not a strong medicine, you just need to get through it."

Chi Zhao also breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

It's good that it's not a strong drug, otherwise she'll have to find someone for the male supporting character. She came here to save someone, and she doesn't want to become a madam for no reason.

Lin Huai sat on a high stool inside, swinging his long legs. As soon as he saw Chi Zhao coming over, he blushed and clung to him, calling out softly, "President Chi."

Chi Zhao knew that his face was red because of the medication, so she didn't pay attention to it and asked him whether he wanted to go back or stay in the hospital for observation.

Lin Huai's dark eyes lit up as he noticed she meant "go back," so he quickly nodded, "Let's go back, President Chi."

Chi Zhao told him to wear a mask properly and not to cause her any trouble, and he obediently complied.

It wasn't until they brought the person home that the person, who was eager to go back and rest, realized what was going on, frowned, and turned her head, "You... if there's nothing else, do you want to go back to your own home?"

99: Listen to this! Is this even human language? You just brought him back!

Lin Huai was secretly peeking at President Chi's house with a bit of excitement when he heard this, and he paused for a moment, then pursed his lips, "Now, are we going back now?"

It's strange. He never goes to any woman's house and doesn't want to have any inappropriate contact with women. He should feel uncomfortable, but the reality is that he likes this place very much. He likes it so much that he wanted to stay here the moment he saw it.

The man looked at Chi Zhao, and before the other could answer the previous question, he suddenly asked, "Mr. Chi, are you open to sharing an apartment?"

Chi Zhao:?

ill?

Do I look like someone who would be sharing an apartment with someone?

Chi Zhao's expression was cold.

His head-to-toe luxury custom-made clothes were almost blinding. Lin Huai came to his senses and realized how foolish he had just said.

Fortunately, his face was already flushed from drinking the Chinese medicine, which lessened the embarrassment a bit.

"I... I was just saying."

"Well, are you going back or staying for the night?"

Chi Zhao kindly gave the other party two choices, but she felt that Lin Huai would definitely choose the first one. Given his suspicious nature, he certainly wouldn't dare to stay overnight at a woman's house.

However, just as she confidently finished thinking, the man opposite her suddenly brightened up.

Lin Huai never expected that he could choose to stay.

But wouldn't that be a bit too unreserved?

He hesitated for a while, and Chi Zhao was getting a little impatient, her brows furrowing slightly. Lin Huai noticed this and quickly replied in a low voice, "Then, can I stay for the night?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Zhao was taken aback. He silently let go of the car keys he was holding, ready to take the person back, and even suspected that Lin Huai had been replaced by the system.

He asked again, still incredulous, "You've chosen to stay?"

Lin Huai blushed and tried to come up with an excuse, "Um... I'm home alone, the medication hasn't worn off yet, and my legs are weak. Can I stay here and leave tomorrow when I feel better?"

Chi Zhao's face darkened. So, you're treating me like a babysitter, hoping I can take care of you in case of emergency?

I've already saved you, and I still have to take care of you. I'm speechless. I must have owed you something in my past life.

The system disagreed with her and leaned in to guide and hint at her, saying, "Host, don't you feel that Xiao Huai likes you?"

Chi Zhao, expressionless: [If you don't have one, get lost.]

He even called me disgusting! It's the first time someone has ever called me disgusting, and I'll remember it for the rest of my life!!!

Her only disadvantage was that she was a woman, which made it difficult for her to fight men, and since the other party was a target of her mission, she really couldn't do anything about him.

If Yanzhou were here, he would definitely stand by her side, speak up for her, and vehemently condemn Lin Huai!

99 got scolded again and ran away feeling wronged with two fried eggs stuck in her head.

"President Chi..."

Having received no reply, Lin Huai felt somewhat uneasy.

Do you think I'm being too forward? It's true, it's not appropriate for a man to offer to stay at a woman's house, but...

But President Chi is very kind, very kind. He saved him twice, was very gentle with him, and even gave him resources.

He knew in his heart how badly he had performed on the day of the interview, and that there must have been others who performed better than him. But in the end, he was the one who was chosen as the male lead. At that time, he had a feeling that President Chi had given him preferential treatment.

How could anyone not like such a wonderful person?

Lin Huai has received little warmth in his life. His parents do not like boys, he was ostracized by his classmates when he was in school because the school beauty confessed to him, and after entering the entertainment industry, he was surrounded by interests and no one treated him sincerely.

More than twenty years have passed, and there is still only one Chi Zhao.

Unfortunately, he had offended this person, so he desperately tried to make his presence known to her and win her favor.

He didn't want to be disliked by President Chi.

Since the other party had offered to stay overnight, and it was getting late, Chi Zhao really couldn't ask him to go back. He was willing to drive him home, but the other party was in a bad state and could stay overnight.

It's traditional Chinese medicine, after all.

So Chi Zhao nodded, "Then you'll be sleeping in the guest room. Do you know how to make the bed?"

"Yes, I will."

Chi Zhao led the way to the guest room, which had a private bathroom. She didn't like sharing these with others, unless it was her boyfriend.

"Wash off the blood yourself, and we'll have someone bring you some clothes in a bit."

Lin Huai looked down at his fingers, which had been wiped with a wet wipe but still stained with a little red, and suddenly remembered something. His expression tightened, "That woman..."

"Yes, I've sent people to handle it. They're still alive. After all, it happened on Chi family territory, so I'll take care of it."

She made an excuse for her meddling, hoping Lin Huai wouldn't misunderstand.

Lin Huai gently bit his rosy lips and nodded slightly. "Thank you, President Chi. I don't know what I would have done today without you."

He wasn't stupid. From the surprised attitude of the group of people when they saw President Chi today, he could guess that President Chi originally didn't plan to attend the banquet, but she showed up in the end and even saved him.

Who knows, maybe President Chi came specifically for him. Even if you look at it from another angle, it's just that he and President Chi are destined to meet. Otherwise, how come he always runs into President Chi every time he gets into trouble?

Even though President Chi says he hates him, he still saves and protects him.

After washing himself clean and letting the effects of the medicine wear off, Lin Huai lay on the soft, comfortable bed. The fatigue of the day finally subsided, and he had time to reflect on everything that had happened that day.

He didn't know which waiter had brought him the wine, and he felt dizzy, so he wanted to go to the restroom to wash his face and sober up.

Then... someone covered my mouth and dragged me into an empty room.

Even now, the thought of that scene still makes Lin Huai's heart race and fills him with dread.

He clutched his pounding heart, tossing and turning in bed.

In the dead of night, Chi Zhao, who had an excellent sleep quality, fell asleep as soon as his head hit the bed, and then, a loud scream rang out.

It startled both her and 99 awake.

Her hands groped frantically on the bed, her voice trembling with tension, "What's wrong? What's wrong? The zombies are here?"

How could there be zombies in peacetime!

99 used its monitoring skills to investigate and breathed a sigh of relief. [Host, it's Xiao Huai. Xiao Huai had a nightmare. Host, please go and comfort Xiao Huai.]

Chi Zhao:......

He was speechless and couldn't manage a smile.

I even comforted him, but I really wanted to hit him. Why is it so complicated?

So annoying.

Chi Zhao got out of bed with a frustrated expression, walked to the guest room next door, knocked on the door, and before she could patiently ask what was wrong, the door was flung open and the barefoot man inside slammed heavily into her arms.

He sank into her soft body, his arms tightly wrapped around her, his heart pounding, his voice trembling with tears, "President Chi, I had a nightmare."

Chi Zhao:......

Damn it, everyone has nightmares! What's there to cry about when you have a nightmare? And the noise was so loud, it scared me to death.

99 noticed that its host was unhappy because she hadn't slept well, so it quickly flew over to comfort her. "Host, host, Xiao Huai must be terrified after what happened today. Please don't scold him anymore, or he'll cry!"

The male supporting character in this world is aloof and resilient, yet he cries over such a trivial matter?

A dampness settled on her chest. Chi Zhao remained expressionless: Oh, you really cried.

Lin Huai didn't want to act like this in front of President Chi, but it seemed that he always looked disheveled whenever he appeared in front of her.

There was no way to leave a good impression on her.

Chi Zhao hesitated for a long time with a cold face before reaching out to pat Lin Huai on the back, as if to comfort him, but quickly put his hand down again.

He said impatiently, "Alright, it's just a nightmare. I'm right next door, what's there to be afraid of? By the way, you pounced on me this time, it wasn't me who deliberately planned to take advantage of you."

She holds grudges and brings them up from time to time.

Lin Huai hurriedly shook his head in her arms, then raised his misty, tearful eyes, his usual cool demeanor gone, replaced by a pitiful and aggrieved look. "President Chi, can you hug me? I'm so scared."

He sensed President Chi's favoritism towards him, so he became audacious and made unreasonable demands.
