Chapter 68 Text Messages

The thief, having stolen a kiss, was thrown into a state of confusion. After a brief moment of infatuation, he got up, his face flushed, and fled the scene of the crime.

The person in the wheelchair leisurely opened their eyes and touched their lips—

A hint of mint lingered on his lips and teeth; this guy had even brushed his teeth before stealing a kiss…

How can there be such a lovely and sincere person?

Looking at the withered bouquet of roses by his bedside, Li Jichuan's resolve grew even stronger.

Su Pu probably wanted to confess her feelings to him, but thankfully, someone else intercepted her.

If someone were to confess their feelings, he would prefer it to be him.

Let him be the humble, devout, eager, and anxious suitor; Su Pu only needs to stand on high and accept his love.

He didn't want Su Pu to experience any more anxiety; he wanted his love to be clear and unambiguous.

Just like the full, silvery moon outside the window tonight.

...

The following morning, Anderson and John came to visit him.

Despite claiming to be visiting a sick person, the two placed the bouquet and fruit basket by Su Pu's bedside and then prepared to discuss official business with Li Jichuan.

Su Pu understandingly told Li Jichuan to handle it without worry. After a moment's thought, the other party left the two of them in the ward.

Anderson took out the cell phone that had been confiscated the night before and handed it to Li Jichuan.

"We tried several sets of passwords, including Su Hui's birthday, his high school graduation date, his pet's birthday, and so on. Finally, we found that the password was the anniversary of his mother's death."

Anderson recited a string of numbers, and Li Jichuan unlocked the device. He felt the date looked familiar, but couldn't quite place it...

“He has changed his social media passwords, so we can’t see his chat history…” Anderson said, adding, “However, if you open his photo album, you can still see the photos he took, which contain a lot of confidential documents, enough to warrant firing him.”

Li Jichuan rubbed his temples. "These are all the things we prepared for him."

Anderson nodded. "Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, he should have shared them all with Li Shuwen."

Lying in his hospital bed, Su Pu listened and finally understood what was going on.

It turns out that Su's appearance in Li Jichuan's office yesterday was not a coincidence, but a premeditated "fishing" operation.

They were just waiting for Su to come and "leak" the "secrets" they wanted to reveal, but his appearance disrupted their plans.

Realizing this, Su Pu could no longer sit still and struggled to get out of bed to apologize.

John ran over briskly and placed a hand on his shoulder, "It's okay, it has nothing to do with you..."

Li Jichuan also remotely controlled his wheelchair to come to his bedside and touched his hair.

“It’s okay, Xiao Pu. Actually, we’ve been worried that if everything goes too smoothly, my aunt will definitely get suspicious.”

"With you here, my aunt will be more convinced of the authenticity of all the information, and I can also legitimately hold the Su meeting. It's killing two birds with one stone."

Su Pu was skeptical and leaned back into bed.

Now, not only Li Jichuan, but also Anderson and John kept praising him and thanking him.

His bravery and selflessness made the scene even more convincing!

The praise put Su Pu at ease, and she vaguely thought that she had actually helped Li Jichuan by accident.

That's great!

...

Li Jichuan was very busy with official business, and Anderson and John kept talking to him non-stop. In the end, they concluded that he had to go back to the company.

Su Pu naturally agreed, but Li Jichuan was reluctant and kept nagging him with many instructions.

Anderson rolled his eyes in exasperation.

Su Pu smiled as she saw Li Jichuan off. After a brief moment of quiet, the ward would become lively again—

Li Jichuan had extensive connections and managed to bring Ouyang and Pei Zhicheng over.

Pei Zhicheng wore a helmet the whole time, and only reluctantly took it off ten minutes after entering the ward; Ouyang had already opened the fruit basket by the bedside and first showed off two bananas.

"Brother Su, do you want an apple? I'll peel it for you," Ouyang asked, holding up a Fuji apple.

Su Pu shook her head, indicating that she didn't need it, but Ouyang still went to the bathroom to wash the apple.

Only Su Pu and Pei Zhicheng remained in the ward, staring at each other in bewilderment.

After a short while, Pei Zhicheng finally mustered up his courage, took out his tablet from his bag, and opened a set of comics to show him.

The image shows a vibrant young man in a coffee shop uniform, busily making coffee.

The next frame shows a man in a suit and tie, sitting in a wheelchair, smiling at him from outside the counter.

In the next scene, the barista makes the coffee and smiles as he serves it to the man in the wheelchair.

Then, the man in the wheelchair took out a bouquet of roses from behind his back and presented it to his lover.

Su Pu stared at the comic for a while before finally accepting it.

He pointed to the young man making coffee, then to himself.

Are you drawing me?

Pei Zhicheng nodded vigorously, “...Mm.”

"May I?"

Su Pu smiled kindly, her eyes crinkling.

【sure! 】

However, it was me who sent the flowers... I sent them to him.

Pei Zhicheng paused for two seconds, then told Su Pu.

"I want to draw a comic for you and your husband... Is that okay?"

...

After seeing Ouyang and Pei Zhicheng off, Su Pu fell asleep again, feeling dizzy and lightheaded.

In his dream, he saw Li Jichuan covered in blood again and instinctively felt terrified.

But the next second, he scurried to Li Jichuan's side and slapped the other's cheek hard, trying to cheer him up.

"Hurry up, I...this car...hurry..."

Su Pu couldn't hear anything, so she grabbed Li Jichuan's arm and used all her strength to pull him to her side.

But I just couldn't budge it...

Su Pu burst into tears, his Adam's apple bobbing as he prayed to all the gods he knew.

Please, please save Li Jichuan, I beg you...

Breaking free from the nightmare, Su Pu opened her eyes and was met with a concerned face.

"Are you awake? If you're sleepy, go back to sleep a little longer..."

Unbeknownst to him, Li Jichuan returned to his hospital room.

Su Pu didn't reply, and turned to look out the window.

The sky was bathed in the orange glow of the rising sun, and its warm light filled the room.

Li Jichuan helps Su Pu recall.

“Ouyang and her boyfriend stayed with you all night. I came back in the early hours of the morning, and they didn’t leave until then…”

Li Jichuan smiled and touched his forehead. "They care about you a lot and want me to take good care of you."

Su Pu reacted slowly, then smiled knowingly.

How would Li Jichuan feel if he knew that there was a comic book that revolved around the two of them?

Will you feel as happy as he does?

Su Pu smiled gently.

"Haven't eaten in a while, are you hungry?"

As Li Jichuan spoke, he unscrewed the thermos and handed it to Su Pu.

Su Pu looked down and saw that inside were... dumplings?

"Cough, if you're hungry, have something to eat." Li Jichuan handed over chopsticks.

Su Pu picked one up and examined it repeatedly. Its ugly-cute shape couldn't possibly have come from Mantian or Changchang, who were both professional nutritionists...

The only possibility is right in front of us.

Su Pu held up the dumplings and placed them in front of Li Jichuan, staring at him with a puzzled look on her face.

His eyes seemed to see right through me: You did this, didn't you?

In the past, Li Jichuan might have denied it.

But now, he's the one pursuing her, so naturally he has to show all his sincerity.

"...The dumplings you ate when you were sick last time were also made by me."

Su Pu paused for two seconds, then stuffed dumplings into her mouth in large bites.

If I had known my husband made it, he would have eaten it all last time!

"Hey, slow down, if you like, I can wrap more..."

Seeing Su Pu eating so heartily, Li Jichuan felt gratified, even a little proud.

My wife loves the dumplings I make!

Su Pu smiled and fed Li Jichuan a dumpling, then stuffed the rest into her own stomach.

He's so happy!

At that moment, Li Jichuan's pocket trembled violently.

Several new messages were sent to Su Hui's mobile phone, and the sender turned out to be Cong Shu.

[Su Hui, please call back upon seeing this message...]

Did Su Pu say something to Li Jichuan?

[Did Su Pu find out about what happened that day?]

[I've been studying like crazy lately, did Li Jichuan do something to me?]
