Chapter 159 So fragile?
After working overtime for several consecutive days, Mu Jia was exhausted.
The world was spinning.
Although she stumbled and held onto the wall beside her, she still slid down to the ground. When her consciousness briefly returned, she had already collapsed on the cold marble floor.
"Come quickly, someone has fainted here!" The security guard rushed over in a panic with a walkie-talkie in hand.
Mu Jia wanted to raise his hand to indicate that he was fine, but his vision went dark and even breathing became difficult.
The security guard watched as the situation did not improve.
The person on the other end of the intercom didn't come over, so he hurriedly put down the machine, squatted down, and tried to help Mu Jia who fell to the ground.
Just as the security guard was about to touch her, a figure came quickly.
The next second, a familiar voice, accompanied by overwhelming darkness, swept over, "Mu Jia, wake up!"
…
In the chaos, I heard the sound of footsteps coming one after another.
Someone was calling for a doctor.
After a while, someone held the back of her neck and fed her water and sugar. The sweet taste melted in her mouth, and slowly, she regained consciousness.
Mu Jia began to feel his eyelids getting heavy.
She blinked hard, trying to open her eyes.
At the same time, a cold stethoscope was placed on the chest.
A deep female voice rang in my ears, "This lady must have low blood sugar and fainted."
——
When Mu Jia was fully awake, she found herself being carried into a car. She sat in the back seat, with Xie Siyan's arm resting casually on her waist.
"I'm fine." She had a pale face, not forgetting what happened just now. She turned around to open the car door and said, "Let me out. I won't delay you..."
Xie Siyan's arms, however, were like iron clamps around her waist, motionless.
Only then did Mu Jia notice that he had taken off his suit jacket at some point and was casually placing it under her.
At this moment, he was only wearing a slightly wrinkled white shirt.
The tie hung loosely, revealing a sense of disorder amidst the dignity, probably because he carried her into the car in a hurry.
Mu Jia avoided his gaze and struggled, "I want to get off the car!"
The arm didn't move at all. Mu Jia looked through the car window and saw the roses outside.
The carefully decorated venue reminded people that he had just confessed his love to another woman.
This was the confession scene he had carefully prepared. Mu Jia's lips trembled, and he felt like a complete joke at this moment.
Falling down in front of a rival in disgrace;
She was rescued by her ex in public.
She struggled wildly, "Xie Siyan, what are you doing? Confess your feelings right there, I won't delay you..."
Xie Siyan had no reaction and directly ordered the driver in the front seat -
"drive."
"Okay, Mr. Xie."
Mu Jia was force-fed another candy. Xie Siyan stared at her pale face, observed for a moment, and slowly withdrew his arm from behind her.
As they drove out from the square in front of the China Construction Building, the roses outside were so gorgeous that they made Mu Jia feel ironic. He closed his eyes and spoke with difficulty, "I don't want to delay your confession. Please let me out of the car."
Xie Siyan looked at her deeply, his voice light and a little sharp, but not as ironic as when they met in the bathroom just now.
"If you care, why did you accept my mother's conditions in the first place?"
Mu Jia was stunned and leaned back in his chair.
Xie Siyan once again instructed the driver in the front seat, "Go to the nearest hospital."
It turned out to be an inspection...
Mu Jia leaned back drowsily, and during this time, he heard him talking on the phone with Chi Wu——
"Something happened on the way."
"Be good and wait for me to come back." His tone was gentle and patient, which was indeed the attitude of pursuing someone. Mu Jia's face was pale. He turned his head to look out the window and felt cold all over.
——
In the VIP channel of a private hospital.
The smell of disinfectant was masked by expensive fragrance. After infusing a bottle of glucose, Mu Jia was forced to undergo a full body examination. After finishing, he leaned tiredly on the hospital bed.
The doctor handed over the examination report:
"Sir, this young lady's indicators are all normal. It's likely that she fainted recently due to excessive fatigue and staying up late. I suggest you return home for observation..."
"Got it." Xie Siyan turned off the phone screen irritably.
When he turned around, his leather shoes made a cold, hard sound on the marble floor.
Mu Jia's pale fingers clenched the bed sheet and asked, "Can I leave now?"
The sound was as light as feathers falling.
Xie Siyan heard the voice and suddenly turned around, looking down at her with a hint of prying eyes, "Your body is fine... I hope you won't faint from anger after hearing a few words from me."
The corners of his lips curled up in a sarcastic arc, "So fragile?"
A pun.
Mu Jia felt his vision going dark again.
She had always known that he was sharp-tongued, but she hadn't expected that two years later, his ability to irritate people would become even more extreme.
She was about to retort when the dizziness came over her again.
Mu Jia had to hold on to the head of the bed and slowly sat down.
It was completely dark outside the window.
The clock pointed to nine o'clock. After a series of examinations and prescriptions, Mu Jia was finally allowed to leave.
The light in the corridor stretched her shadow very long. In the ward behind her, Xie Siyan was holding a mobile phone, facing the screen, wondering what he was thinking about.
The next day, Xie Siyan's confession swept social networks, was widely reported by the media, and became a hot topic on the streets.
Chi Wu's side never responded.
Reporters surrounded the press conference, but Chi Wu just smiled faintly and insisted, "Boss Xie and I are still friends."
But it is visible to the naked eye that the two have been photographed going out together more frequently.
Mu Jia took a week's sick leave.
The morning light shines through the glass into the office on the top floor of China Construction.
Xie Siyan casually flipped through the quarterly financial report and asked without looking up, "Where's Director Mu?"
A colleague from Citibank's investment banking team respectfully handed over the documents. "Excuse me, Mr. Xie, Director Mu is on sick leave. I'll be taking over her work temporarily."
The tip of the pen spread a blob of ink on the paper.
Xie Siyan rubbed his brow and said in a cold voice, "The progress cannot be delayed. Send the information directly to her address..."
As he spoke, he raised his head and asked casually, "What is her current address?"
Naturally, the colleague was unwilling to hide the truth and could only provide Party A with the complete address of Mu Jia's recent residence.
Xie Siyan glanced at it without saying a word, but his eyes stayed on the expensive residence for a moment, and then he ordered in an uncertain mood:
"Get out."
——
Mu Jia stood in the kitchen.
The chicken soup in the casserole was bubbling and steaming.
The dense fog blurred the vision.
She has been feeling dizzy recently. The doctor that day speculated that in addition to working overtime and staying up late, she also had anemia and suggested that she replenish her qi and blood and get some rest.
The autumn and winter winds blow up the fallen leaves.
Mu Jia pulled her sweater closer and picked up the spoon to taste the soup. The news was playing on TV, and she accidentally lost her focus and burned the tip of her tongue.
"hiss--"
She gasped, her eyes instantly reddened, and before she could recover, she heard the doorbell ringing outside.
