"How dare you ask? What kind of boyfriend are you? Your girlfriend was on her period and you still let her get injured and bleed so much. Luckily, she was taken to the hospital in time. If the blood loss had been severe, she could have gone into shock at any time."
Oh no, he's definitely going to hate me even more now.
The ward fell silent once again, and Su Ping couldn't help but hold her breath.
Her intuition told her that Shen Jiayu was watching her!
"Stop pretending. Didn't you say you'd haunt me even as a ghost? Where's the bravado you had when you said that?"
No, how did he find out?
[Host, only the chests of the dead remain still.]
I was careless!
Su Ping squinted and saw Shen Jiayu sitting next to her, holding a financial magazine.
He didn't seem as angry as she had imagined.
Shen Jiayu caught her subtle movements out of the corner of his eye. Was he some kind of monster?
"Thank you, Mr. Shen, for saving me." Su Ping propped herself up and sat up in bed, giving him a weak smile.
Shen Jiayu seemed to remember something and put down the magazine in his hand.
"I heard you're using my money to keep a gigolo outside."
Su Ping felt a lump in her throat, unable to swallow it down. It was truly a case of someone lying in the hospital being bombarded with rumors.
When did she start using Shen Jiayu's money to support a gigolo?
"President Shen, the person who said that is quite humorous. With someone as outstanding as you in front of me, I simply cannot tolerate anyone else."
[Ding! The corruption level of the character Shen Jiayu has decreased by 1%, and his current total corruption level is 28%!]
Seriously? She just casually gave a couple of compliments, and her "darkening" level dropped?
"From what you're saying, you like me?"
With her neck bandaged, it was really inconvenient for Su Ping to turn around. She could only keep her head forward and look affectionately at Shen Jiayu sitting next to her out of the corner of her eye.
"Mr. Shen, do you believe in love at first sight?"
[Why is there no indication of "darkening value" for the Calabash Brothers?]
Because he doesn't like you.
"From the first moment I saw you, my heart started racing. A voice inside me told me that you were the one I had been waiting for."
[Host, I think your symptoms sound more like schizophrenia.]
"continue."
"I haven't been able to eat or sleep well these past few days without seeing you."
Su Ping touched the flesh that had recently grown on her stomach under the blanket, and the more she spoke, the less confident she became.
"Okay, I promise you."
"What?" Su Ping, who was still gathering her emotions, was stunned when she heard this.
Did she hear that right?
“You like me so much, but I don’t have a girlfriend.” Shen Jiayu reached out and patted Su Ping’s head, as if petting a pet.
Su Ping got goosebumps from his touch, and a chill ran from the top of her head to her tailbone.
"Besides, Silan and Lele like you quite a bit."
No, aren't you ashamed to say that?
One of them called her a bad woman, and the other grinned at her as if he wanted to pounce on her and bite her. How did they get the idea that they liked her?
"Mr. Shen, isn't this a bit too fast? I'm not ready yet."
Su Ping's heart pounded. What was Shen Jiayu doing? Why wasn't he playing by the rules?
She had even prepared her excuses for being rejected by him, but she ended up with a huge lump in her throat.
"No rush. You're still studying, so we can get to know each other slowly, or we can wait until you graduate before getting married."
Shen Jiayu's gaze towards her grew even gentler, his eyes behind his glasses almost drowning her completely.
If it weren't for the fact that her "darkening" value hadn't changed, Su Ping would have suspected that the female lead's halo had been transferred to her.
"It's just that I've offended a lot of people over the years, and for your safety, our relationship cannot be made public for the time being."
You're making it sound so noble, but you're probably just afraid the female lead will find out.
“So.” Shen Jiayu’s fingers brushed across her face, finally landing on her neck.
"Can you tell me why you know about that letter?"
So that was his real purpose.
Four years ago, Shen Jiayu was rear-ended and had a car accident. He was in a coma in the hospital for a year. As the Shen family fell on hard times, they were almost taken over by a different family.
No one knows what happened that year. All that is known is that when he woke up a year later, Gu Lan, who was engaged to him, had married the president of the Mo Group.
In the end, with the help of the Mo family, Shen Jiayu regained control of the Shen Group.
Some say that Shen Jiayu knew the Shen family wouldn't last long, so he faked a car accident and pretended to be in a coma for a year, during which time he sent his fiancée to his rival's bed.
After Gu Lan jumped off the building, the president of the Mo Group also disappeared. At the new shareholders' meeting, he attended with a share transfer agreement signed by the president of the Mo Group in his hand. With an absolute advantage, he crushed the other shareholders and successfully swallowed up the Mo Group under his own name. From then on, he was far ahead in the business race.
During the year he was in a coma, Gu Lan wrote hundreds of letters, or rather, diaries, since she was both the sender and recipient. Now that she is dead, no one knows the whereabouts of that diary anymore.
He learned about the diary at her funeral, but ultimately his three-year search yielded nothing.
He always felt that the diary would tell him something, something about what happened to her during the year he was in a coma.
He had been secretly searching for that diary all these years and had never revealed it to anyone. How did this woman in front of him know about it?
"After meeting you that day, I went back and had a dream."
"In my dream, there was a short-haired girl who said her name was Gu Lan... uh!"
Before Su Ping could finish speaking, she felt a tightness around her neck; Shen Jiayu's hand on her neck was trembling.
Do you know what you're saying?
Shen Jiayu's eyes were bloodshot, and he lost his composure, a rare occurrence for him.
He still can't bear to recall that scene. Lanlan was such a good girl, the one who pulled him out of the mire. He doesn't know what she went through to make the choice to jump from the 28th floor, refusing even to see him one last time.
In the three years since her death, he has spent countless nights trying to numb himself with alcohol, hoping that Gu Lan would occasionally appear in his dreams, but she never did.
This woman actually said she dreamed about Lanlan today?
She doesn't deserve her!
"President Shen, please calm down!"
Su Ping was afraid that he would strangle her in his excitement, so she quickly spoke up.
"What did she say to you in her dream?" Shen Jiayu withdrew his hand, paused, and then asked with an expectation he himself hadn't realized: "Did she mention me?"
Su Ping swallowed hard and continued making things up.
"After we met last time, I dreamed about her. She was very sad and said she was sorry to you. Then she said she forgot to give you a diary. If you read that diary, you should understand a lot of things."
[Beep! Detected a 3% decrease in the corruption value of the target character Shen Jiayu, currently at 25% corruption value!]
