Chapter 40: Can you tell me why things were so strange last night?



Bai Ruiting chuckled, "You two shouldn't go in. Han Chen is heartbroken. His tone of voice when he talks to me has changed. He wants me to show his Yunyun to him."

Lu Chuan looked on with curiosity, "Yunyun? Hahahaha...!"

Because he was laughing too loudly, Ji Hanchen suddenly turned his head and shot him a sharp look, which stopped Lu Chuan's laughter abruptly.

Lu Chuan stepped aside and chuckled softly, "You're calling him 'Old Ji' so affectionately. Old Bai, did you see him? Old Ji is blocking my view, so I can't see his face either."

Bai Ruiting smiled and said, "Very beautiful."

"What about Qin Shuang? She's a famous beauty and socialite in Beijing. Is she prettier than Qin Shuang?" Lu Chuan stirred up trouble.

Bai Ruiting chuckled, "We're not the same type. You'll see when you meet me."

Lu Chuan felt like someone had tickled his heart, making him extremely curious. "You're keeping me in suspense again. The way you put it makes me even more curious."

Shen Luo suddenly patted his shoulder, her expression indifferent, "Let's just wait here, we'll see them eventually."

Lu Chuan almost burst out laughing, "See? Shen Luo is getting anxious too."

So, Shen Luo, the eldest son of the Shen family, and Lu, the second young master of the Lu family, the most unruly man in the capital, sat together in the corridor, just to catch a glimpse of the beauty's face.

No, it's the beautiful face of my best friend's future wife.

Xu Qingyun was a little delirious from the fever, but the noise at the door made it difficult for her to sleep soundly, and her delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

Ji Hanchen gently stroked her forehead and whispered, "Sleep peacefully, I'll stay here with you."

Xu Qingyun's brows gradually relaxed.

Once she was fast asleep, Ji Hanchen got up and walked to the door, his aura very imposing.

The three men immediately stood up.

Lu Chuan chuckled, "Is Yunyun asleep?"

Ji Hanchen looked over coldly, "That's my Yunyun, who gave you permission to call her that?"

While Lu Chuan was talking to Ji Hanchen, Shen Luo walked to the door, her eyes widening, and said seriously, "I saw it."

Lu Chuan quickly moved closer: "Me too... Holy crap, this is so good-looking?! Lao Ji, you're amazing."

"No wonder you've been keeping it a secret from us. If it were me, I'd keep it hidden away too! It's so beautiful!"

Ji Hanchen's expression was deep and thoughtful. These two people are really annoying!

Bai Ruiting couldn't help but chuckle, patting the two of them on the shoulder, "Alright, now that you've seen them, let's leave the time for Han Chen and his little girl."

**

After the three left, Ji Hanchen used a towel to cool Xu Qingyun down physically.

Around 1 p.m., Xu Qingyun's fever completely subsided.

Ji Hanchen touched her forehead again, and when he felt that her forehead was cool, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He put the towel back in the bathroom, then sat on the edge of the bed, took Xu Qingyun's hands in his own and placed them to his lips, gazing deeply at the sleeping girl on the bed.

Ji Hanchen was certain that Xu Qingyun must have something on her mind, otherwise she wouldn't have reacted so strongly tonight.

He wanted to know more about her, but this time he wouldn't let Jiang Xun investigate; he wanted Yunyun to tell him herself.

On the other side.

Ji Lun was thrown back to the Ji family ancestral home by Jiang Xun.

He didn't dare throw the person on the ground directly, otherwise Yao Xueying would tear him to pieces!

Jiang Xun rang the doorbell, then smiled politely, "I'm here on President Ji's orders to bring Young Master Ji back."

Jiang Xun originally intended to drop the person off and leave, but Yao Xueying was worried about her son and hadn't slept at all. She quickly put on her clothes and ran out.

Upon seeing Ji Lun's severely swollen left cheek and the blood at the corner of his mouth, Yao Xueying turned deathly pale and cried out anxiously, "Lunlun, my Lunlun, what happened to you? Don't scare your mother! Lunlun! Someone, get a doctor!"

The servants began to scramble and panic.

Yao Xueying rushed over and slapped Jiang Xun across the face, roaring with bloodshot eyes, "What did you do to my son? If anything happens to him, I'll make your whole family pay with their lives!"

Suppressing his anger, Jiang Xun coldly relayed, "He broke into Miss Xu Qingyun's home and attempted to rape her. This punch was delivered by President Ji himself."

Yao Xueying gasped in shock. Rape?!

Oh my god!

How could his son do such a thing?!

"You...you actually slandered my son! You just wait! Tomorrow I'll have my lawyer come after you!" Yao Xueying was both anxious and angry.

She couldn't believe her son would do such a beastly thing, and she was worried about his health, so she made a harsh statement to Chiang Hsun and quickly took her son to the hospital with the driver and maid.

**

The next day.

Xu Qingyun is a light sleeper, and she sleeps even more restlessly in unfamiliar environments, so she woke up when she heard footsteps in the corridor.

The moment she opened her eyes and saw the unfamiliar room, she was stunned for a moment, but then she immediately remembered that Ji Hanchen had brought her to the hospital last night.

Feeling the warmth and dampness on her hand, Xu Qingyun looked over, her cool eyes flickering slightly.

Ji Hanchen fell asleep by the bedside, his face resting on his own arm, his large hand still holding hers.

He sat here all night? Holding her hand the whole time?

Xu Qingyun moved, trying to pull her hand back, but unexpectedly, Ji Hanchen suddenly opened his eyes after only that one movement.

He raised his head, his deep, dark eyes still drowsy, only gradually waking up after meeting Xu Qingyun's gaze.

"Yunyun, you're awake?" Ji Hanchen asked in a hoarse voice.

Xu Qingyun nodded, slowly withdrew her hand, and asked softly, "Will you stay with me like this forever?"

Ji Hanchen hummed in agreement and rubbed his temples. "Your fever didn't break until 1 a.m. last night, but it came back up at 5 a.m.

A ripple of emotion stirred within Xu Qingyun.

The last person to take such good care of her was her grandfather.
