Chapter 643 I Want to Be Your Exception and Special
"So you're just going to stay here the whole time?" Lin Bei asked.
Huo Zhizhou remained silent.
Dark eyes gaze into the distance.
"Aren't you afraid that one day your health will collapse and you'll die?" Lin Bei said bluntly.
He wouldn't normally say something like that.
But today he hopes Miss Jiang can see the BOSS's true thoughts.
I hope the two of them can sit down and have a proper talk.
"If it's gone, it's gone." Huo Zhizhou didn't care at all.
"You don't care about Miss Jiang and the young master?" Lin Bei looked at him.
“Sui Sui has many people who love him. One more or one less of me won’t make a difference.” These are indeed Huo Zhizhou’s current thoughts. “As for Ruan Ruan, my existence will only bother her. It’s good that I’m dead so that she can have some peace and quiet.”
Lin Bei didn't know what to say.
My feelings are very complicated.
The boss he knew wasn't like that.
He won't feel down, and he won't put himself in that kind of mindset.
They will do everything they can to solve problems, and remain calm no matter how big the changes.
But now.
He saw the words "waiting to die" in him.
“But we don’t want you to die.” As he spoke, Lin Bei took out his phone from his chest pocket. “I will relay everything you just said to Miss Jiang so that she knows your situation.”
Huo Zhizhou's gaze fell on him, carrying a chill.
“Looking at me won’t help. I can’t just stand by and watch you treat your life like this.” Lin Bei tapped the screen twice and turned the camera towards himself. “I’ll send a message to Miss Jiang right now.”
The words had barely left his mouth.
Huo Zhizhou snatched the phone from his hand.
Just as he was about to delete the message he sent to Jiang Ruan, he made eye contact with Jiang Ruan in the video.
That moment.
Huo Zhizhou froze.
I didn't know how to react the first time.
“Please have a chat with Miss Jiang.” Lin Bei’s heart was pounding as he said this, but he pretended to be calm. “She heard everything we just had.”
He left immediately after speaking, not giving Huo Zhizhou a chance to vent his frustration.
He had just stepped outside when he bumped into Assistant Jiang, who was returning.
Assistant Jiang was knocked back several steps by his hurried footsteps and looked at him in confusion: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Lin Bei: "I'm going to die."
Assistant Jiang: "?"
Lin Bei looked at him: "If the BOSS wants to fire me, will you protect me?"
Assistant Jiang looked puzzled: "What did you do?"
Lin Bei: "I just called Miss Jiang."
Assistant Jiang frowned slightly: "How could you still make such a basic mistake?"
Lin Bei's feelings were complicated.
What else could it be?
It's because I'm afraid the BOSS will really die.
"What did you say to Miss Jiang?" Assistant Jiang asked. "Let me think about how to speak up for you."
Lin Bei: "He didn't say."
Assistant Jiang: "?"
Lin Bei coughed lightly, his eyes looking somewhat guilty. "I just left my phone with the video call on here." As he spoke, he pointed to his chest pocket. "So she could hear my conversation with you and the BOSS."
Assistant Jiang stared at him.
They seemed surprised that he could cause such a big disaster.
"Does the boss know?"
"I know." Although Lin Bei was timid, he wasn't afraid at all. "I deliberately provoked him so that he would snatch my phone and see Miss Jiang."
Assistant Jiang: "..."
He tried to say something, but in the end, all his words boiled down to one sentence: "You're finished."
Lin Bei: "I knew I was doomed, that's why I asked you for help."
Jiang's assistant: "I can't help."
Lin Bei: "I think I can help."
"How can you help? You know the boss is most bothered by Miss Jiang knowing his condition, yet you still video call her." Assistant Jiang really didn't know what was wrong with him. "Is this your first day working for the boss?"
Lin Bei remained calm: "But even if I don't say it, Miss Jiang already knows."
Jiang's Special Assistant: "How did she know?"
Lin Bei: "Huo Sinian told her."
Assistant Jiang: "?"
Jiang's assistant paused.
A suspicious gaze fell upon him, and he asked with a scrutinizing look, "How did you know?"
“Miss Jiang called me early this morning to ask about the BOSS,” Lin Bei said. “I didn’t originally plan to tell her, but after I found out that Huo Sinian had told her everything, I admitted it.”
Assistant Jiang frowned slightly.
My feelings are mixed.
Judging from the BOSS's current mental state and spirit, he will most likely feel that he has caused trouble for Miss Jiang. If Miss Jiang shows even the slightest displeasure, he will probably hide himself away.
They hid in a place unknown to the three of them.
Completely isolated from the world.
What was the BOSS's reaction upon seeing Miss Jiang?
"I'm a little stunned," Lin Bei said.
Assistant Jiang: "What did they say?"
Lin Bei: "I don't know."
Lin Bei: "I just slipped away."
Assistant Jiang felt that he was there to cause trouble for him.
He used to be a very reliable person.
How did things turn out like this?
"Where are you going?" Lin Bei saw him heading towards the BOSS and quickly stopped him.
"Go check on the situation with the boss." Assistant Jiang was worried about Huo Zhizhou; he knew very well that Huo's mental state wasn't quite right. "If things aren't good, we can deal with it promptly."
"I don't think it's necessary." Lin Bei thought about the phone call last night and made a bold guess: "Miss Jiang will probably have a good talk with the BOSS and persuade him to eat properly."
Assistant Jiang hesitated.
Lin Bei added, "In our conversations last night and today, Miss Jiang showed a lot of concern for the BOSS."
Assistant Jiang: "Go and check first. If everything is fine, we won't bother you. If not, you should apologize to yourself."
Lin Bei: "..."
Although Lin Bei had some reservations, he still agreed.
Meanwhile, on Huo Zhizhou's side...
When he saw Jiang Ruan in the video call, his mind went blank.
He had considered every possible way to meet her, but he never imagined it would be like this.
"I heard everything you just said," Jiang Ruan's voice came from the phone.
Huo Zhizhou's eyes darkened, and his voice was low and hoarse: "I'm sorry."
Jiang Ruan: "There's no need to apologize."
Huo Zhizhou remained silent.
He never intended for her to know.
I never intended for her to worry or overthink.
"Live well, eat well," Jiang Ruan said. "Don't confine yourself."
Huo Zhizhou rarely opened up to her, saying, "If you're not kept warm, it will cause you trouble."
After that, the two fell into a long silence.
Several seconds passed.
Jiang Ruan finally spoke: "We can be friends."
Huo Zhizhou watched her through the screen.
“As long as you don’t do anything reckless or cross the line, we can have a give-and-take,” Jiang Ruan said calmly. “We can watch Sui Sui grow up together, and we can spend weekends together with him.”
Huo Zhizhou was filled with turbulent emotions.
He knew Jiang Ruan was making concessions.
She also knew that this was the biggest compromise she could make.
“But I don’t want to be just friends.” He finally spoke, his voice low and husky, his eyes unfathomable. “I want to be with you, to be your exception and your special one.”
Jiang Ruan pursed her lips.
There was no response.
She knew she couldn't do it.
"If I can't, I'd rather die." Huo Zhizhou rarely said this.
Anyway, she already knows.
Anyway, it has already caused her trouble.
I might as well make things clear once and for all, so I can leave more easily.
