Shen Yanxi didn't give him a chance to respond at all and hung up the phone without hesitation.
For a moment, He Lingchuan had the illusion that he was his slave.
He took another fever reducer, hoping he could hold on until he saw Shen Yanxi, and rushed over without stopping.
...
At the Shen family headquarters, Shen Yanxi sat in the center of the conference room, facing the various directors. Zhou Mingyan stood respectfully beside her, without uttering a word.
"What exactly is going on? Everyone is speculating about who the father of these two children is."
Shen Yanxi and He Lingchuan's relationship was no secret within the company, but no one outside knew about it.
They only knew that Shen Yanxi was married, but they didn't know who her husband was.
Now, Zhou Mingyan has suddenly appeared, and they think the two children are Zhou Mingyan's sons.
Just as the media was making a big fuss about it, another media outlet suddenly said that they had photographed someone picking up two children from school, and judging from their figure and the time of their appearance, it was clearly not Zhou Mingyan.
Suddenly, Shen Yanxi and Zhou Mingyan were caught in the eye of the storm, and the Shen family was also implicated.
“Yan Xi, logically speaking, I am your elder, and you should call me uncle. As your uncle, I feel that you did not handle this matter well. On the one hand, you ruined your own reputation, and on the other hand, you hurt Ling Chuan’s feelings.”
"Exactly, we don't care what your relationship with Zhou Mingyan is, but shouldn't you two be more careful? Look at yourselves, what's the difference between you two being open about it now?"
Does Ling Chuan know about this?
They each questioned Shen Yanxi, frankly because they were afraid that He Lingchuan would be pushed to the limit and resort to desperate measures.
If Shen Yanxi's reputation suffers, the Shen family will also be affected.
"If you ask me, you should have a serious talk with Ling Chuan about what to do."
"I will handle this matter."
"How did you handle it?"
One of the more hot-tempered directors slammed his fist on the table and stood up: "Everyone thinks Zhou Mingyan is the person you're seeing now. What about He Lingchuan? Once the media finds out his identity, do you know what kind of public opinion you'll face?"
“I’ve already called He Lingchuan over; he’ll cooperate with my acting.”
Shen Yanxi frowned as she looked at the director who was opposing her: "Don't worry, I will absolutely not let Shen's become the target of public criticism."
This statement deterred several people who were planning to attack him.
But they weren't stupid; they were still worried that He Lingchuan wouldn't cooperate.
"You've hurt him like this, why would he cooperate with your act?"
"Think carefully about how to get He Lingchuan's help later."
Shen Yanxi rested his chin on his hands as he checked the documents; he was actually considering this issue as well.
He Lingchuan appears to be very obedient to her, but recently he has become quite rebellious.
He could sense that He Lingchuan no longer wanted to be controlled by him.
As for whether he will help, we'll have to wait and see when he arrives.
Half an hour later, He Lingchuan, panting, pushed open the door and entered.
He looked at the people in the conference room and realized that the matter was more serious than he had imagined.
He probably knew the whole story when he arrived.
It's simply that the two of them were too high-profile when they went out and got photographed, and now they can't explain it.
He looked at Shen Yanxi: "What do you need me to do?"
His voice was a little weak, and he leaned against the wall, the only way he could stand up straight.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Noticing that something was wrong with him, Shen Yanxi looked at him with some concern.
"You won't die. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
He could roughly guess why Shen Yanxi had called him over, and he certainly wouldn't let Zhou Mingyan suffer this injustice.
The only way is for me to come and clarify things myself.
"I just want to ask you for a favor."
Looking at his flushed cheeks, Shen Yanxi felt a little reluctant to say what he was going to say next.
How can I help you?
He Lingchuan thought of something, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips, and he said, "So you're finally willing to admit our relationship?"
His words were a sarcastic remark to Shen Yanxi, and also a sarcastic remark to himself.
After being together for so many years, Shen Yanxi finally no longer needs to hide her relationship.
Although it was ultimately for Zhou Mingyan's sake, at least he gained a legitimate status, didn't he?
Shen Yanxi was a little embarrassed: "If you don't want to..."
Do I have a choice?
These directors were staring at him like hungry wolves; he had no choice at all.
He Lingchuan sat next to Shen Yanxi, feeling extremely dizzy.
If he had known it was for this reason, he should have rested at home before coming over.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
A hint of guilt flashed across Shen Yanxi's face. He Lingchuan was not in good condition. If someone hadn't been supporting him, he wouldn't have been able to stand up.
He half-closed his eyes as he listened to Shen Yanxi speak, as if he were asleep.
His body was burning hot; Shen Yanxi only accidentally touched his skin and felt his body was scalding hot.
"Why don't you rest for a while before..."
"A swift and decisive victory."
He Lingchuan propped himself up on the table and looked at Shen Yanxi: "I don't owe you anything anymore, my project..."
"Don't worry, I'll make sure it goes smoothly."
Thanks.
He Lingchuan cooperated with Shen Yanxi to hold a press conference, at which he publicly revealed for the first time that he was Shen Yanxi's husband.
He bit his lower lip, forcing himself to stay alert, intending to take this opportunity to mention that they were divorced.
"Actually, we..."
“Our relationship is very good, but my partner doesn’t really want to be in the public eye, so we’ve never gone public with it. As for Mingyan and me, my partner was sick that time, and I didn’t want to disappoint the children, so I asked Mingyan to help take my partner’s place…”
He Lingchuan couldn't remember a single word of what Shen Yanxi said afterward.
All he knew was that throughout the entire press conference, Shen Yanxi had been trying to exonerate Zhou Mingyan.
And he himself was just the husband she didn't want to make public.
After the press conference, He Lingchuan could no longer hold on and collapsed in the corridor.
Shen Yanxi crouched down, her eyes filled with worry: "Are you alright, He Lingchuan?"
Her voice softened instantly as she tried to pull him up, but no matter how hard she tried, He Lingchuan remained unmoved.
"I'll do it."
Zhou Mingyan squeezed Shen Yanxi's shoulder: "I'll take him to the hospital."
"I'll go with you."
"No need, it's just taking care of a man, it's no big deal."
Zhou Mingyan carried He Lingchuan on his shoulder, not caring whether he was comfortable or not, and looked back at Shen Yanxi as they walked: "Don't you have a lot of work to do? Running around like this is really tiring."
To reassure Shen Yanxi, he patted his chest, his voice so loud it hurt He Lingchuan's ears: "I will definitely take good care of him, as a way of making up for my mistake."
"Nonsense, what did you do wrong?"
