Chapter 44 Don't be afraid
"Jingcheng, let's have a drink, let's not talk about anything else."
"It's rare for you to come."
Bai Wanwan pushed the glass of red wine towards Gu Jingcheng.
I forcefully suppressed the panic in my heart.
Gu Jingcheng's gaze fell on the wine glass, where a trace of powder that had not yet dissolved clung to the rim.
"Bai Wanwan...you really want me to drink this glass of wine..."
"You think I can't smell the aphrodisiac?"
Gu Jingcheng suddenly grabbed her chin, his eyes filled with coldness.
"Brother Jingcheng...."
Bai Wanwan's face turned deathly pale, and the sharp pain in her chin instantly brought her back to her senses.
It felt like my heart was being squeezed by a pair of huge hands, and a feeling of suffocation swept through my whole body.
She had never seen Gu Jingcheng lose his temper with her like this before.
That look in his eyes felt like it could pierce her.
Bai Wanwan's voice trembled.
"Brother Jingcheng...I...I was just confused for a moment."
I was wrong, Brother Jingcheng.
Without Gu Jingcheng's protection...
She was just a pretty face, manipulated at will, and sacrificed herself in the power struggles of the wealthy family.
Her father would use her for a political marriage to gain the greatest benefit.
She couldn't lose Gu Jingcheng; without him, she would have nothing left.
Bai Wanwan collapsed onto the carpet, her shoulders trembling violently, tears streaming down her face.
His lips trembled slightly.
"Brother Jingcheng... I was wrong, please forgive me, I won't do it again next time."
"go out!"
Gu Jingcheng stood up, no longer looking at her, and stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
It resembled a cold, divine statue, radiating a chilling aura.
"Brother Jingcheng..."
Seeing that Gu Jingcheng remained unmoved,
Bai Wanwan gritted her teeth and scrambled up from the carpet, using both her hands and feet.
He staggered out of the room.
All of this was Lin Wei's fault. In the past...
Gu Jingcheng had never been so cold to her before!
Lin Wei spent the entire afternoon in her office.
I wonder if I ate something bad.
I always feel a faint, persistent pain in my abdomen.
It didn't hurt much, so Lin Wei didn't take it to heart.
By the time I finished my work, it was already 7:00.
I had arranged to have dinner with Chen Jinhuai at 7:30.
She got up and turned off the computer.
The abdominal pain was quite noticeable.
But she had something more important to do.
The pink Bentley is still under repair at the 4S store.
She took a taxi to the HSBC Hotel.
The waiter led Lin Wei through the corridor and pushed open a heavy, carved wooden door.
The private room was lit with warm yellow light, and a cluster of pink roses sat in the center.
Chen Jinhuai was already seated in the private room.
He wore a custom-made dark gray suit that accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist.
The top button of her collar was undone, giving her a casual yet sexy look.
Seeing Lin Wei enter, a smile appeared on his lips.
"Miss Lin, you're right on time."
Lin Wei sat down calmly.
What was his purpose in going to such lengths to get close to me?
Chen Jinhuai leaned forward slightly, and the unique scent emanating from the man reached Lin Wei's nose.
"This truffle-baked shrimp is their signature dish, would you like to try it?"
Lin Wei's heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm.
"Thank you, I can do it myself."
Chen Jinhuai chuckled softly, withdrew his hand, and gently stroked the silvery spoon handle with his fingertips.
He prefers thorny prey; the docile ones are rather uninteresting.
Chen Jinhuai leaned forward slightly, his elbows casually resting on the table.
His deep eyes were fixed on Lin Wei's eyes.
"Ms. Lin, I feel we are very destined to meet. Let me formally introduce myself."
My name is Chen Jinhuai, I am 32 years old, and the general manager of Huaijin Group. I am currently single.
After Chen Jinhuai finished speaking, he looked at Lin Wei with a deep gaze, his eyes conveying a different meaning.
Lin Wei smiled faintly. Was this his purpose?
"Lin Wei, General Manager of Lin's Group, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
Lin Wei looked directly into his eyes, without the slightest shyness, but rather scrutinizing and appraising him.
After a moment's thought, Lin Wei spoke.
"What a coincidence, your company is putting out a tender for a chip project, and I also received an invitation to bid."
Chen Jinhuai sat up straight, a polite smile on his face.
"For the company's newly launched projects, if Mr. Lin is interested, there is no need to participate in the bidding."
Let's talk directly.
"Mr. Chen is so generous, giving me the project without even doing any investigation?"
"Anyone who didn't know better would think that President Chen had ulterior motives."
Lin Wei picked up the red wine and took a sip, her gaze probing.
A dull pain came from her abdomen, and a sense of unease settled over her.
Lin Wei gritted her teeth secretly, their eyes meeting in the air, each lost in their own thoughts.
Chen Jinhuai's gaze fell on Lin Wei.
The woman had fair and delicate skin, bright eyes and white teeth, and a gentle and graceful demeanor.
Her gaze, however, met his directly without any fear.
Her eyes were beautiful, complementing her porcelain-white, gentle cheeks.
At first glance, she seems to be the gentle and tender type.
But upon closer inspection, she exudes a tenacious and indomitable spirit.
Like a white rose in a thicket of thorns.
It has thorns, is not flashy, but is attractive.
A light blue dress further accentuated her cool and aloof temperament.
Chen Jinhuai's thoughts were wandering.
He has seen countless beauties...
But someone like Lin Wei is rare.
"Mr. Lin, you're quite the joker."
After having dinner with Chen Jinhuai, I returned home at 10:00 PM.
After a quick wash, she changed into a loose-fitting nightgown and lay down on the bed.
Her abdomen had been aching slightly since the beginning of the day.
Lin Wei rolled over and lay on the bed, wondering if lying down would make her feel better.
I had just lain down when a sharp, stabbing pain shot through my abdomen again.
It was as if it wanted to shatter her.
Lin Wei was covered in sticky, cold sweat, and her lips were pale.
This was a feeling she had never experienced before. She gritted her teeth, a flicker of panic crossing her mind.
She was healthy and had never been in so much pain before.
Lin Wei picked up her phone, and without bothering to change her clothes, stumbled downstairs.
While her parents were still on vacation and hadn't returned, Aunt Wang took two days off to go back to her hometown.
The huge villa was empty except for Lin Wei.
The pain intensified, and her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.
A tremendous fear gripped her.
What happened?
Lin Wei disregarded everything else and picked out a blue BMW from the garage.
I opened the car door and practically collapsed inside.
With a tap of the accelerator, the vehicle started.
She needs to go to the hospital.
After passing through several intersections, Lin Wei felt for a moment that she might not even be able to reach the hospital.
The abdominal pain became more and more frequent.
Lin Wei bit her lower lip, and finally, the car stopped at the emergency room entrance.
The disinfectant in the emergency room had a strong smell.
"Doctor...doctor..."
"Weiwei, what's wrong?"
An arm steadily supported her waist.
Lin Wei froze, struggling to lift her head.
Her gaze fell on Shi Yanzhou's face, who was wearing a white coat, and she almost collapsed into his arms.
"Brother Yanzhou."
Shi Yanzhou was on duty today. He had just finished seeing a few emergency patients when he saw Lin Wei stagger in.
He was only wearing loose-fitting pajamas, and fine beads of sweat were on his forehead.
Her face was deathly pale.
Where does it hurt?
Shi Yanzhou's voice was gentle, but tinged with anxiety.
His gaze fell on Lin Wei's hand, which was clutching her abdomen.
He immediately picked Lin Wei up and carried her towards the emergency room.
"Don't be afraid."
