Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Happy wedding!
In a daze, Lin Mo thought she was still reclining in her seat on the plane. The incandescent light above her head streaked with white lines as the turbulence spread, blinding her. In a trance, she saw a blurry figure standing next to her. It looked like a man, staring straight at her.
Lin Mo woke up suddenly, it turned out to be just a nightmare.
The environment in front of her was not a cabin, but a hospital ward, and it was a high-end ward. She thought about it carefully and remembered.
At that time, I had unbearable stomach pain and was squatting on the side of the road outside the airport. I vaguely heard people talking nearby. In a hurry, I grabbed one of them and asked for help, and then I lost consciousness.
It seems that the kind-hearted person called an ambulance for her.
Lin Mo looked around. At this moment, she was the only one in the ward. There was a needle inserted in the back of her left hand and she was receiving an IV.
She sat up from the bed, but couldn't find her suitcase. Just as she was about to press the call bell, the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside. A middle-aged nurse walked in front, followed by a man in a dark suit, pushing her suitcase in his hand.
"Hey, are you awake?"
The nurse walked over quickly and placed the back of her hand on her forehead. "The fever's gone. How's your stomach feeling now?"
"Much better." Lin Mo replied.
The nurse adjusted the drip rate of the IV tube and asked, "Acute gastroenteritis, have you had any history of this?"
"Yeah, it's an old problem."
"Then you have to be more careful. Make sure you eat regularly and avoid spicy, raw, cold, or irritating foods." The nurse placed the medicine bag on the table next to the bed and pointed to the nearby water dispenser. "Remember to take the medicine after the infusion. Each bag is divided into small portions. One bag for each meal, three times a day."
"Okay, thank you, doctor. After the IV is finished, can I leave now?"
The nurse said solemnly, "When you were brought here, your fever was 40 degrees Celsius. You're lucky you arrived in time. Any later would have resulted in disastrous consequences. And you're still thinking of leaving? You young people don't take your health seriously at all. You need to be hospitalized for a few days for observation. Only when you're fully recovered can you leave."
Lin Mo was also surprised to hear the nurse say this. She thought it was just a common stomachache like before, and that taking some medicine would be enough to heal it. She didn't expect it to be so serious this time. Although she loved her work, she was by no means a workaholic who didn't care about her life. She still valued her life.
So he agreed obediently: "Okay."
"This gentleman brought you to the hospital and helped you with the admission procedures. Since you're unconscious, you haven't been registered yet. You'll need to complete your identity registration information later."
"OK."
After explaining a series of matters, the nurse left the ward.
Only Lin Mo and the kind-hearted person who brought her there were left in the ward.
Since entering, the man has always had one hand in his pocket, leaning slouchedly against the bedside table, occasionally checking his phone, looking at her and the nurse. As soon as the nurse left, the man pushed the suitcase to the bedside.
"Your box."
Only then did Lin Mo really see the outline of the kind-hearted man. He was very tall, about 1.9 meters tall, with outstanding looks, a pair of deep and affectionate peach blossom eyes, and a hint of sharpness between his full brows. When his eyebrows and eyes switched, it seemed as if he was casual and unrestrained in the previous second, and then immediately became intimidating without anger in the next second, full of oppression and a sense of being not to be messed with.
At this moment, the man's expression was the former.
But Lin Mo was still a little scared. She put on a harmless smile and said softly, "Hello, my name is Lin Mo. Thank you for sending me to the hospital."
"Lin-Mo-?"
There seemed to be a fleeting light in the man's dark eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly as he repeated her name, as if asking for confirmation.
"Yes, Shuangmu Lin, Mo as in Jasmine. What's your name?"
"Lu Yanxiao." As he spoke, Lu Yanxiao took out a business card and handed it to Lin Mo.
Looking at the introduction on the business card, Lin Mo was immediately shocked.
He didn't expect that the person he asked for help was the vice president of Lu Group and the second son of the Lu family.
As a native of Shaofeng City, she knew a bit about the Lu Group and the Lu family. The group's main businesses included real estate, new energy, and automobiles, and it had invested in countless emerging industries, including drones, which she had previously explored. The Lu family was not only the richest family in Shaofeng City, but also a prominent family nationwide.
She had also heard about this second young master: he was arrogant, conceited and bad.
An inexplicable sense of nervousness crept up on Lin Mo, making her even more frightened. She clutched the business card, trying to remain calm. "Mr. Lu, um, how much is the total for the hospitalization and medical expenses? I'll transfer it to you."
After saying that, Lin Mo reached into her pocket and fumbled around, but she couldn't find her cell phone anywhere. She looked at the person next to her embarrassedly, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to ask.
"Have you seen the backpack I carry with me? It's a small black one."
Seeing that Lu Yanxiao didn't respond, Lin Mo gestured with her hands and added, "There's a small square pocket on each side of the bag. Oh, and there's a small doll pendant hanging on the bag lid. I think I was carrying it on my back when I fainted..."
Lu Yanxiao kept his lips slightly curled up and stared at her without blinking.
Lin Mo felt uneasy when he looked at her. She coughed softly and said, "Mr. Lu, have you seen him?"
"Yes."
After saying these two words, Lu Yanxiao walked out of the room with his long legs.
Lin Mo was stunned. She had seen it before, but she was still asked to say so much. Was it funny?
Soon, Lu Yanxiao came in again carrying a backpack.
"Thank you." Lin Mo took the bag and put it on her lap.
There are two "locks" on the opening of the backpack. One is the metal buckle on the cover, which can be unfastened by gently pinching it from both sides to the middle. The second is the rope at the opening of the bag, which has become a knot at some point.
Lin Mo could only use her right hand, and after fiddling with it for a while, she couldn't untie it, and the knot kept getting tighter and tighter.
Just when she was at a loss, a big hand reached out, took the bag and helped her untie the straps.
"Thanks."
Lin Mo thanked him awkwardly and rummaged through her bag, only to realize something was amiss. Finally, she dumped everything in her bag onto the bed, but still couldn't find her phone. "Maybe it's lost. Maybe I left it in the car?"
Lu Yanxiao understood, opened his phone, and typed on the screen, probably asking someone to check the car. After a moment, he told her, "There's nothing in the car."
"It must have been left at the airport. I clearly remember being at the airport arrival gate, ready to call a taxi." Lin Mo was anxious. She couldn't afford to lose the things stored in her phone. "Can you..."
Before Lin Mo finished speaking, Lu Yanxiao had already unlocked his phone and handed it to her.
Lin Mo took it gratefully.
I first called my own cell phone, but it showed that it was turned off.
Then, she called the airport service number, and the staff member immediately replied: "We will help you confirm with the service center as soon as possible to see if any tourists have found the phone and handed it in to the lost and found office. Excuse me, do you still need to call your number when the time comes?"
After all, it was someone else's phone, so Lin Mo kept it on speakerphone the entire time. After the staff member finished speaking, she looked at Lu Yanxiao, her watery eyes curved into crescents, and she whispered to him with her mouth, "Is this okay?"
Lu Yanxiao: "Okay."
Then, he stretched out a hand towards Lin Mo.
Lin Mo thought he wanted to use his phone, so she handed it to him, but he didn't take it and said calmly, "ID card."
Lin Mo didn't understand.
Lu Yanxiao: "Register."
Lin Mo suddenly realized: "Oh, right, right, wait a minute."
The nurse told her that she had to fill in the personal information for the hospital registration. Seeing that there was still a bottle of liquid medicine "in line" on the table, it would probably take a long time to finish the infusion. It was great that Lu Yanxiao was willing to help.
Lin Mo immediately took out her ID card and handed it to him.
Lu Yanxiao did not take the phone with him when he left, which was considered as his tacit consent to leave it with her first.
Lin Mo stared at the screen, anxiously waiting for a call back from the airport staff, but she waited and waited, and the minutes passed, and there was no reply. She unconsciously glanced at the time and was shocked to find that more than two hours had passed since her plane landed. Outside the window, snowflakes danced, and the sky was gloomy, like a grayish-white net.
And she hasn't "reported safety yet."
Although my cell phone is lost, my computer can still be used. WeChat is logged in on the computer. As long as I connect to the wireless network, I can contact Wei Wei and Grandpa first.
Lin Mo threw back the quilt and got out of bed. She carefully lifted her left hand where the needle was inserted, held the handle of the suitcase with her right hand, and pulled the suitcase flat on the ground. The suitcase was placed relatively low, and the length of the needle was limited. She could only hold up her left hand awkwardly, squinting her eyes as she struggled to rotate the numbers.
The numbers are too small and are always inaccurate.
Suddenly, a shadow descended, followed by a clear voice: "I'll do it."
The man bent his legs and half-crouched, so close to her that she could smell the faint scent of his perfume, a calming woody aroma, rich and pleasant. He picked up the handle and stood the box upright. His slender fingers pinched the combination lock and he looked up at her.
"311."
After entering the password, the lock of the box was opened with a click, and Lu Yanxiao placed the box flat on the ground.
"I can do it myself."
Lin Mo felt really embarrassed, so she unzipped the box first and opened it.
However, the moment I opened the box, I wanted to die.
The top layer was placed in a transparent bag, and her bra and panties, pink, white, and lace, appeared so freshly in front of the strange man she had just met.
“Ahem—”
There was an untimely cough beside him, and it was obvious that the man was caught off guard.
Lin Mo was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into. The redness on her face spread to her neck. She didn't look up and didn't dare to look at the people next to her. She gritted her teeth and pretended to be calm as she took out the computer bag from under her clothes and then closed the box as if nothing had happened.
When people are embarrassed, they always make themselves look busy. Lin Mo took out her computer and said casually, "Well, I'll use the computer to connect to WeChat first."
Lu Yanxiao didn't say anything, just returned the ID card to her and turned to get some water from the water dispenser.
The computer was in standby mode and could be used directly after being turned on. Lin Mo quickly connected to the hospital's wireless network.
First, he sent a message to Wei Wei, saying that he had "landed safely and arrived home."
Then she lied to her grandfather, saying that she was still on a business trip and everything was going well at work, and asked her grandfather to take care of his health and not to worry about her.
As for the illness and hospitalization, there is no need to tell them. One of them is on a business trip and the other is in poor health and living in a nursing home. We are far away from each other and there is no need to make them worry more.
After reporting her safety, Lin Mo was about to close her computer when a new message popped up. It was a voice message from a custom-made Chinese clothing shop. Not long ago, she had custom-made a dress for her grandfather to wear at her wedding at this shop.
"Ms. Lin, your wedding dress is ready. We will send someone to deliver it to you tomorrow. Please remember to confirm and sign for it when the time comes."
The haze brought by Xu Tingzhou loomed over her again, and Lin Mo sighed.
The wedding definitely wouldn't happen again, but the dress was already made and couldn't be returned. So, let's just think of it as a formal outfit for Grandpa. Lin Mo typed on the keyboard: [Okay, just send it directly to the nursing home.]
The other party replied in voice: "Okay, Miss Lin, I wish you a happy wedding!"
Before the sound from the computer speakers faded, Lin Mo stared at the picture of the dress in the dialog box in a daze. At this moment, the sound of water falling to the ground came from nearby. Lin Mo turned her head and saw that the water in Lu Yanxiao's cup had overflowed.
"Mr. Lu——"
Lin Mo reminded him, "The water is overflowing."
