Gu Jinchen lowered his eyes and asked, "Is it because of that thing on the internet?"
Pei Anan was a little puzzled: "Maybe..."
When Gu Jinchen entered the ward, Pei Qinghuan still had her eyes closed. Her lips, pale due to illness, made her look like a quiet angel.
“Ding-ling-ling——”
Gu Jinchen's eyebrows jumped. Afraid of disturbing Pei Qinghuan, he looked around for the source of the sound. It turned out to be Pei Qinghuan's cell phone.
He answered the call subconsciously.
There was a man on the other end of the phone.
"Qing Huan, my friend at the hospital heard about you. Do you have a fever?"
"How are you now? Can I come over to see you now?"
"You're so busy with your online store that you forget to take care of yourself. Your health is the most important thing, you know?"
Gu Jinchen was shocked. Why did a man come to care for his wife as soon as she fell ill? He knew her situation better than him.
He glanced at the sleeping Pei Qinghuan and walked out.
"Hello, I'm her husband, what can I do for you?"
Chen Yu on the opposite side was stunned: "Oh, I, I'll just ask Qing Huan..."
Gu Jinchen's tone was as cold as ice: "A married man shouldn't disturb other people's wives. Isn't that common sense?"
Chen Yu said softly, "I just wanted to ask about Qing Huan's situation. We are friends after all. Since her husband is here, there should be nothing wrong."
Gu Jinchen said calmly: "Well, it's okay, I'll hang up."
Chen Yu wanted to say something, but as soon as he finished speaking, there was a "beep" sound from the other side.
Chen Yu sighed, "It's like eating a firecracker. How did Qing Huan find such a possessive man?"
No matter how much he thought about it, he felt that this man was not as good as himself.
He sent a message to his friend, asking about Pei Qinghuan's situation. After waiting for a while without receiving any news, he had to get busy with his own work.
On the other side, Gu Jinchen looked coldly at the contact with the name "Chen Yu" on his phone.
The nurses passing by wanted to say something, but were scared away by his distant and unfriendly attitude.
Gu Jinchen thought about it and blocked Chen Yu.
After completing this operation, he returned to his room satisfied.
"Where's my phone?"
As soon as he entered the door, Pei Qinghuan looked at him as if he were questioning a criminal.
Gu Jinchen felt inexplicably guilty, but he didn't show it on the surface. He handed her the phone and said, "I dropped it on the way to the hospital just now. I'll go back and look for it."
Pei Qinghuan suddenly understood and showed a grateful look: "Thank you, Mr. Gu."
"Also, can you please not tell my sister and parents about my fever?"
She rubbed her still aching head.
"I don't know why I suddenly had a fever, but it's not good to make them worry. Besides, there are still many things that need to be dealt with. It's just a minor fever."
Gu Jinchen frowned: "You call this a minor fever? It's already 40 degrees. If it's any later, there will be problems with the nerves."
He couldn't imagine how this fragile woman in front of him could downplay her illness.
Pei Qinghuan was unhappy instead: "It's okay, I'm in good health. I've always dealt with my illnesses since I was a child. This was just an accident..."
She spoke more and more quietly because she saw the anger between Gu Jinchen's brows.
Mr. Gu... is angry? Because of her?
Just as he was stunned, Pei Anan came running in from outside.
"Sister, are you feeling better? I've told Mom and Dad, they'll definitely be here soon."
Pei Qinghuan quickly said, "An An, why are you running? You are pregnant and you have a baby in your belly."
"Also, why do you have to tell your parents about such a small matter? They are old, don't bother them all the time."
Pei Qinghuan rubbed his head with a headache.
Pei Anan was scolded and pouted aggrievedly: "But you just had a fight with your parents. Maybe you have a fever, and your parents also have reasons..."
Gu Jinchen extracted the key words: "quarrel?"
Pei Anan then noticed Gu Jinchen and nodded: "That's it..."
Pei Qinghuan interrupted: "An An, there's no need to tell Mr. Gu about this. He's very busy, and I've already troubled Mr. Gu enough."
She smiled and nodded at Gu Jinchen, as if to say that she was strictly abiding by the contract between the two of them that had nothing to do with each other.
Gu Jinchen's face darkened. This woman always adhered to the rules particularly strictly at times like this.
"Actually, you can ask me for more help. After all, I am also you..."
“Ding-ling-ling——”
Pei Anan quickly answered the phone: "Hello? Mom, ah, you're not coming... But, okay, Mom, I will take good care of myself, um, but Mom, are you really not coming..."
Gu Jinchen subconsciously looked at Pei Qinghuan, but saw that Pei Qinghuan had no expression on his face the whole time, as if he was out of the matter.
Pei Anan whispered: "Sister, Mom said they are very tired after the round trip, and the store still needs to restock, so they won't come over for now, so you can have a good rest. She also said she ordered a light meal for you..."
"It's okay. I know my parents are very busy. It's not a big deal. An An, you can go to the store. There are nurses and doctors here."
Pei Qinghuan gave her a smile.
"By the way, Mr. Gu, I'm really sorry to bother you today. Can I treat you to a meal later?"
Gu Jinchen looked at her deeply, as if he wanted to see through her, but the woman remained motionless.
"Okay, I'll have someone watch over you here, you take a good rest."
Upon hearing this, the bodyguards became more diligent in guarding their duties at the door.
Pei Qinghuan nodded. Pei Anan wanted to stay, but was quietly declined by Pei Qinghuan who closed his eyes.
After a long time, Pei Qinghuan was the only one left in the ward.
