Chapter 177 Mission Failed

As soon as Su Mi opened her eyes, she saw the transparent IV bottle. She felt a cool touch on her hand, the thin needle had entered her vein, and her nasal cavity was filled with the smell of disinfectant.

I quickly realized that this was a hospital.

I sat up and tried to recall what happened, but then I felt a headache.

While she was thinking hard, the door of the ward opened.

Gu Muqing came in wearing a light grey casual suit, carrying food in his hands, "Qingqing, you are finally awake."

"What's wrong with me?" She slowly recalled her memory before she fainted. It seemed that she suddenly lost consciousness when she came back from Xushan.

"You have fainting caused by anemia, but it's not a big problem. You will be fine after a few days of recuperation."

Su Mi slapped her forehead. She didn't know when she started to suffer from anemia.

Gu Muqing set up the small table on the bed and said in a gentle tone that revealed deep concern, "Don't think about it. You just woke up. Eat something first."

Looking at the exquisite food in front of him, Su Mi had no appetite. "How long have I been unconscious? What time is it now?"

"Here, look."

Gu Muqing pushed his cell phone in front of her.

Su Mi turned on the screen and looked at the date on it: January 25th.

She remembered that the date she went to Xushan was the 21st.

So she lay there for four days.

So long...

Moreover, she had agreed with Xiao Xuanjin that she would return to Hwaseong on the 22nd, but she has been delayed for so long.

Even Xiao Xuanjin's birthday on the 24th was missed.

"No, I have to go back."

After saying that, she was about to get out of bed, but before she even touched the ground, Gu Muqing stopped her and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Don't stop me. I promised him that I would go find him."

Gu Muqing seemed to be saddened that she had acted foolishly again. "It's been so long, and he hasn't come to see you. What does that mean? Don't you understand?"

As soon as these words came out, Su Mi seemed to be acupunctured, and her movements froze. After a long time, she moved her lips, "It doesn't matter. If he doesn't come, I will go find him."

She couldn't break her promise. Xiao Xuanjin finally believed her, and she couldn't let him misunderstand that she had deceived him again. More importantly, she knew that their relationship couldn't stand this anymore.

Having come this far, she knows how difficult it is.

Now, the relationship between them is like a broken-down ship in need of repair, which can no longer withstand the ravages of strong winds and waves.

"You can go find him, but you should eat first. Ask yourself, do you still have the strength?"

After lying down for a few days, I felt extremely tired and my stomach was empty.

She took his words to heart, picked up the porridge on the table and swallowed it whole.

Putting down the bowl, she thought, "My parents..."

"They don't know. They still think you are out of town. I didn't tell them because I thought uncle had just recovered and it was not appropriate to disturb him. This must be what you meant."

"Thank you."

She reached for the bed and flipped over the pillow to look for it. "Where's my phone?"

Gu Muqing saw her panic, sighed, took out a cell phone from the drawer and handed it to her, "It ran out of battery and turned off before. I charged it for you but you haven't turned it on yet."

"Thank you."

Su Mi took the phone and pressed the power button. When the screen lit up, she was filled with anticipation.

However, apart from messages from parents and daily life shared by a few friends, the rest is about company matters.

Xiao Xuanjin had no phone and no incoming messages.

He seemed to have forgotten her.

Su Mi's clear pupils dimmed, his hands had no strength left, and his phone slipped onto the bed.

Taking in her expression, Gu Muqing said calmly, "Qingqing, how could someone who truly cares about you bear not to contact you?"

I thought she would give up the idea after hearing this.

But she comforted herself again.

Su Mi felt that something must be wrong. It was impossible for Xiao Xuanjin not to contact her. If it was just because she broke the appointment, he would definitely call her. There must be some misunderstanding.

I flipped through my phone, found Linda’s WeChat, and asked her to help me book the fastest ticket to Hwaseong.

After making all the arrangements, she got out of bed and cleaned up.

When she put on her coat, she felt her pockets and found them empty. The amulet that she had worked so hard to obtain was missing.

She asked, "Where is my amulet?"

Gu Muqing looked confused, "Isn't it in your bag? I didn't see it."

Seeing this, Su Mi realized that something was lost.

Never mind. Now is not the time to worry about this.

She left the ward and went straight outside.

Gu Muqing saw that she was determined to leave and did not stop her.

He followed her all the time and was kind enough to send her to the airport.

On the way, Su Mi opened the car window and let the wind blow in to blow her hair sideways without saying a word.

"Qingqing, you are in good health, so stay out of the wind."

"It's okay, I'm not that fragile."

The car arrived at the airport.

Su Mi got off the car without delay and went straight in, catching the evening flight to Huacheng to meet him.

Although she felt that she must look very bad, she didn't care about that and just wanted to see him as soon as possible.

After completing the formalities, she sat in the terminal, waiting to board the plane.

…

Outside the airport, Gu Muqing lowered the car window and watched the plane gradually merge into the night.

She was so determined, but she knew that Xiao Xuanjin didn't want to see her at all now.

What a silly girl.

There was a voice in his head talking to him, "Are you just letting her go like this?"

"Her heart is not here, and I can't stop her." He put his arm on the car window and spoke casually.

【Aren't you afraid that they will reconcile again? 】

"When Xiao Xuanjin sees these photos, he will feel that he has been cheated on. Which man can accept such a thing, especially a man as proud as Xiao Xuanjin. How can he tolerate it if it touches his bottom line? Maybe when Qingqing goes there, she will only see a divorce agreement."

[You deliberately took her back to the apartment that day in order to cause misunderstanding among Xiao Xuanjin's people. This was a clever move, and no man could stand it.]

"When she becomes disappointed with Xiao Xuanjin, she will naturally accept me." When he said this, there was a certainty in his eyes.

【Why do I feel that she won’t give up so easily?】

"That's easy. I will then fabricate evidence that Xiao Xuanjin is plotting to severely damage Wan Tai. She will naturally give up. Qing Qing values ​​her family and the company the most."

If he hadn't considered how much she cared about her family, he would have done so a long time ago.

[Actually there is an easier way. I can help you modify her memory, but you just don't want to.]

"Everyone knows that she is married to Xiao Xuanjin. If we change it suddenly, it will easily be a problem, unless I can take her away from Jiangcheng."

[This is also simple, just change her identity. ]

"No... I don't want her to be unable to recognize her own parents. She shouldn't be treated like that."

[You are still soft-hearted. Don't forget what your fate will be if the mission fails.]

"I know, you don't need to remind me."

After saying that, he closed the car window, started the car and left.

[This chapter is a little late, please forgive me. 】
