Chapter 490 Close contact, another test
He knew that Han Lingcui's memory had begun to fade. As long as he gave her a little more time and stayed with her, one day she would remember everything.
Han Lingcui, who was in the apartment, did not rest immediately as usual after returning home.
She walked to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out the paternity test report that she had thrown in the corner.
The moonlight shone through the window onto the report, making the red seal particularly glaring.
She picked up the report, her fingertips trembling slightly.
Xuanyuan Ge's eyes in the stairwell, Xunxun's soft voice, and his warm hand when he sent her home flashed through her mind.
These images were pieced together like fragments, making her doubts grow deeper and deeper.
"Maybe... what he said is true?" Han Lingcui murmured to himself.
Just then, her cell phone rang. It was Jiang Shutong calling. She hesitated for a moment and pressed the answer button.
"Lingcui, how are things going at Xuanyuan Company recently? Have you found any evidence of Shen Hanxing?"
Jiang Shutong's voice was still gentle, but with a subtle urging tone.
Han Lingcui's heart sank suddenly, and the doubts in his mind were instantly suppressed.
She took a deep breath and spoke firmly.
"Not yet, but I will keep looking. Mr. Jiang, don't worry, I won't let you down."
"Okay, I believe you."
There was a hint of satisfaction in Jiang Shutong's voice. "By the way, I heard that Xuanyuan Pavilion is taking special care of you? You have to be careful. A man's kindness always has a purpose. He might want to use you to deal with Qi Moxun. Don't be fooled by his sweet words."
After hanging up the phone, Han Lingcui sat at the desk and didn't move for a long time.
Jiang Shutong's words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the flame that had just ignited in her heart.
She told herself that Xuanyuan Pavilion must have a purpose for being nice to her, just like Jiang Shutong said, he wanted to use her.
But she couldn't help but think of Xuanyuan Ge's eyes in the stairwell and his tenderness when he sent her home.
Are those emotions really fake?
Han Lingcui covered his face, his heart in turmoil again.
She didn't know who to trust.
She only knew that she was now standing at a crossroads.
On one side is the "truth" given to her by Jiang Shutong, and on the other side is the "doubt" brought by Xuanyuan Pavilion, and she can only grope forward cautiously in the fog.
The next morning, Han Lingcui showed up at the company on time.
As usual, she immersed herself in her work and tried not to think about her chaotic emotions.
Xuanyuan Ge still often came to the design department to see her as before, and occasionally discussed work with her.
But this time, Han Lingcui's attitude was obviously colder, and he deliberately kept a distance from him.
Xuanyuan Ge noticed her change and felt a little disappointed, but did not ask any further questions.
…
That afternoon, the company held a project promotion meeting, and Han Lingcui, as the supervisor, also attended the meeting.
Halfway through the meeting, the client suddenly proposed to modify the design plan and asked for a new plan within three days.
"Three days? That's impossible!" Director Zhang frowned. "This plan is already halfway through, and revising it would be a huge undertaking. It would take at least a week."
The customer was resolute.
"Our project cannot be delayed. We must come up with a new plan within three days, otherwise we will have to consider changing partners."
The atmosphere in the conference room instantly became tense. Everyone looked at Han Lingcui, after all, she was in charge of this project.
Han Lingcui took a deep breath and looked up at the customer.
"No problem, we will come up with a new plan in three days."
"Spiritual Essence!" Director Zhang looked at her in surprise. "Three days is too tight. We can't finish it."
"Don't worry, I have a way." Han Lingcui said firmly.
After the meeting, Director Zhang stopped her.
"Manager Han, are you really sure? Even if our entire design department works overtime in three days, we may not be able to complete it."
"I can just work overtime by myself, no need to bother everyone."
Han Lingcui said, "I will come up with a plan as soon as possible."
For the next three days, Han Lingcui almost lived in the company.
She only slept three hours a day and spent the rest of her time drawing and revising plans.
Xuanyuan Ge saw it all and felt pain in his heart. He came to the company every night to accompany her, bring her food, help her organize materials, and even occasionally help her draw some simple auxiliary diagrams.
Han Lingcui refused at first, but Xuanyuan Pavilion said.
"This project is related to the company's cooperation, and I also have responsibilities."
She couldn't persuade him and could only let him stay.
On the third night, the new plan was finally completed.
Han Lingcui looked at the design drawing on the computer screen and breathed a long sigh of relief, but his body fell directly into the chair due to excessive fatigue.
Xuanyuan Ge immediately stepped forward and supported her.
"Lingcui, how are you?"
"I'm fine, just a little tired."
Han Lingcui smiled weakly, "The plan is complete and can be handed over to the client tomorrow."
Xuanyuan Ge looked at her pale face and felt distressed.
He picked her up and walked quickly to the elevator: "I'll take you to the hospital."
"No, I just need to rest for a while." Han Lingcui struggled to get down.
"obedient."
Xuanyuan Ge's tone left no room for doubt. "You haven't had a good rest for three consecutive days. You must go to the hospital for a check-up."
Han Lingcui looked at his serious eyes and stopped struggling.
She leaned in his arms, feeling his warm chest and steady heartbeat, and she felt an inexplicable sense of security in her heart.
When she arrived at the hospital, the doctor examined her and said she was just overworked. He prescribed some nutritional supplements and told her to have a good rest.
Xuanyuan Ge accompanied her during the infusion, sitting beside the bed, looking at her sleeping profile, his eyes so gentle that tears could be dripping from them.
He gently held her hand, tracing her outline with his fingertips.
"Lingcui, get well soon and remember me."
Xuanyuan Ge said softly, "I'll wait for you, always."
After the infusion was completed, Xuanyuan Ge sent Han Lingcui back to the apartment.
He helped her onto the bed, covered her with the quilt, and poured her a cup of warm water and placed it on the bedside.
"Have a good rest, I'll pick you up to go to the company tomorrow." Xuanyuan Ge said.
Han Lingcui nodded, and looked at his back as he turned and left, and suddenly an impulse surged in her heart.
"President!" she called out to him.
Xuanyuan Ge turned around and looked at her puzzledly: "What's wrong?"
Han Lingcui bit her lip and said softly, "Thank you. You've been working hard these past few days."
A hint of surprise flashed in Xuanyuan Ge's eyes, and he smiled: "You're welcome, have a good rest."
Looking at Xuanyuan Ge's leaving back, Han Lingcui had no doubts in his heart for the first time, only gratitude.
She knew that no matter what Xuanyuan Pavilion's purpose was in being nice to her, at least he was always by her side when she was in the most difficult times.
Perhaps, what Jiang Shutong said was not true? Perhaps, Xuanyuan Ge was really a good person?
This idea took root in her heart, giving her a little more anticipation for the future, but also a little more confusion.
