Miss you
He half sat up, leaning against the head of the bed. Although his face was still pale, his eyes were like a burning candle, deep and bright.
Xia Tangyue's nose felt sore and she burst into tears, sitting on the bed with tears in her eyes. Wen Zheng smiled at her, his eyes sweeping over the dark circles under her eyes and her messy hair, and he gently raised his hand and rubbed her cheek with his fingertips.
"You've lost weight."
Xia Tangyue cried breathlessly, with big, crystal tears falling down, as if he wanted to vent all the fear, fatigue and grievances of the past few days.
She wiped her face with the back of her hand, but the more she wiped, the more tears she cried. Finally, she threw herself forward in despair and buried her face in the crook of his neck.
Wen Zheng groaned when she bumped into him, but he still caught her steadily. His palm was against her back, and he could clearly feel her thin shoulders trembling violently. He sighed, his voice low and gentle: "Why have you lost so much weight? Did you not eat well?"
Xia Tangyue raised his head while sobbing, his eyes were as red as a rabbit, and his voice was heavily nasal: "Brother, brother...I..."
"Okay, okay." Wen Zheng patted her back gently: "Be good, don't cry, don't cry, brother is here."
Xia Tangyue clutched his hospital gown tightly, sobbing and hugging his waist. She was afraid of pressing on his wound, so she took a look before hugging him.
Wen Zheng tightened his arms, hugged her, buried his face deeply in her hair, and said in a hoarse and trembling voice: "That's great, I thought I would never be able to hug you again."
Xia Tangyue raised his tear-stained face, his fingertips still tugging at his hospital gown, and asked in a nasal voice, "Brother, when did you wake up?"
Wen Zheng stared at her, the emotion in his eyes was so deep that he couldn't dissolve it. He suddenly lowered his head and gently kissed her wet eyelashes.
"I woke up last night, and after I woke up, I have been undergoing various tests. I didn't find a chance to contact you."
At this point, Xia Tangyue sat up straight: "What did the doctor say? You have been in a coma for a long time, more than half a month."
Wen Zheng gently held her fingers, which were cold from nervousness, and rubbed the back of her hand twice with his thumb in a soothing manner: "All indicators are normal. It's just..."
He paused suddenly, and raised a familiar, somewhat rogue smile on his face. "The attending doctor said that in a situation like mine, it would be best if someone could take care of me all the time."
Xia Tangyue was stunned for a moment, tears still hanging on her eyelashes, but he was so moved by his words that she burst into laughter. She hugged his waist and rubbed his chest, her nasal voice soft and she breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad that my brother is okay."
She told Wen Zheng about what had happened during this period, including the stalled car accident case.
"Brother, do you remember who you have offended? Gu Jiaping has already checked, and he is not a suspect."
Wen Zheng leaned back on the pillow without saying anything. Xia Tangyue said, "By the way, I just met someone on the way here. It seems to be Li Cang, the chairman of LUMINOVA Group."
"You must have dealt with him when you were working at Yaoying before. Is he here to visit you?"
Wen Zheng lowered his eyes.
"no."
He closed his eyes, hugged Xia Tangyue, and rested his chin on her shoulder.
Xia Tangyue turned her head to look at him, and gently played with the ends of his hair at the back of his head with her fingertips: "What's wrong, are you tired? Then you should rest first."
She pretended to leave, but Wen Zheng hugged her tighter and murmured, "Stay with me, don't leave."
"I won't leave. I'll stay here with you." Xia Tangyue waved his arm, "Let's eat first. I'll eat with you."
"Um."
This is a private high-end hospital. The meals are served on fine porcelain plates and brought by special people. The three dishes and one soup are exquisitely presented: the steamed sea bass has been deboned, the pumpkin porridge is cooked densely, and even the stir-fried seasonal vegetables are cut into small, palatable pieces and served with amber mushroom sauce.
Wen Zheng's hands were injured, so it was a bit difficult for him to use chopsticks. Xia Tangyue fed him mouthful by mouthful, and while he was eating, a teasing whistle came from the door.
Zhu Shang leaned against the door frame in a lazy manner: "Oh, I'm eating."
Duanmu Yu came in carrying a gilded enamel insulated food box and casually placed it on the table. The tortoise shell buckles on the edge collided with the marble tabletop, making a noble sound.
"The chef at home cooked a hundred-year-old wild ginseng and stewed Tianshan snow deer tendons to nourish you."
Zhu Shang pulled a chair and sat down next to Wen Zheng, looking him up and down, dangling an unlit Marlboro in his mouth and saying, "You've been lying in bed for half a month, and you're finally willing to wake up."
Wen Zheng lazily lifted his eyelids and said, "If I don't wake up, I'm afraid someone will take advantage of the situation and kidnap my sister."
"Hey, hey, I'm a gentleman." Zhu Shang shouted carelessly.
Xia Tangyue cleared the food on the table and took the cup to the tea room to boil water and make tea.
Duanmu Yu glanced at her back, then looked at Zhu Shang. Both of their expressions became serious, without any of the relaxed look they had just now.
"We have investigated the car accident for you." Zhu Shang's expression was gloomy: "We didn't find any clues. We did it cleanly."
Duanmu Yu added: "To be able to do this, the person who planned this is extremely resourceful. You are in the open, and he is in the dark. You must be careful in the future."
When Xia Tangyue came out with the brewed tea, she clearly felt that the atmosphere was not right, but as soon as she raised her head, Zhu Shang was smiling and joking with Wen Zheng again, as if everything was normal.
Fearing that it would affect Wen Zheng's recovery, the two of them stayed for only an hour before leaving. Later, Zhuang Chen, who got the news, also rushed over, talked with Wen Zheng for a while, and then left the hospital.
Wen Zheng's injuries are mainly concentrated on his legs and waist. He is currently unable to walk. After changing the dressing, the nurse gave him a painkiller, and he became drowsy.
The ward was a suite-style VIP intensive care ward with an open kitchenette and a bathroom separated by fogged glass. Xia Tangyue took a shower in the bathroom and changed into a set of pajamas prepared by the hospital.
When Wen Zheng returned to the bedroom, his breathing was even and he seemed to have fallen asleep. The liftable smart nursing screen at the head of the bed showed his normal vital signs.
She sat by the bed and traced his facial features with her fingers, from his high brow bone to his slightly furrowed brow. When her fingertips brushed the faint dark circles under his eyes, her nose suddenly felt sour. After being in a coma for half a month, his jawline became sharper, and his stubble made her fingertips itchy, but it also had a fresh warmth.
"If you touch me again, I won't be able to pretend anymore."
A hoarse voice suddenly sounded, startling her so much that she retracted her hand. Wen Zheng's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his deep eyes opened, with three parts of sleepiness and seven parts of mischief in his eyes.
"How can I sleep when you touch me like this?" He grabbed her hand and brought it to his lips and kissed it gently.
Xia Tangyue's cheeks flushed instantly. She tucked the quilt in for him, then lay down beside him, holding his hand softly. Wen Zheng's Adam's apple rolled and he tilted his head to look at the top of her head. The ward was so quiet that they could hear each other's intertwined heartbeats.
Her hand was held by Wen Zheng, and the hot temperature of his palm slowly seeped into her skin.
"Go to sleep." He squeezed her palm.
Xia Tangyue curled her fingers gently and buried her cheek in Wen Zheng's shoulder, listening to the steady heartbeat in his chest, and felt that the smell of disinfectant floating in the air had become softer.
The next day.
Xia Tangyue had breakfast with Wen Zheng in the hospital and then went to work.
As soon as she left, a police officer came to visit and asked Wen Zheng about the car accident and brought him a new piece of news.
Trace residues of special chemicals were detected on the inside of the truck's brake oil pipe. Spectral analysis of the ingredients showed that it contained ethylene glycol derivatives and nano-scale lubricating particles. The ratio far exceeded the industrial standard of conventional antifreeze and it was likely specially formulated. Based on this clue, the police followed the clues and found that the purchase records of this batch of chemicals were related to a chemical company under the LUMINOVA Group.
The police officer asked, "Mr. Wen, have you had any contact with these companies? Have you had any conflicts of interest recently? Are there any contradictions?"
Wen Zheng pursed his lips tightly, staring at the picture information handed to him by the police officer, as if he had figured something out, and smiled coldly.
"Perhaps we can focus on investigating Li Yao, the president of LUMINOVA Group who is in charge of the chemical business."
"——He is my half-brother."
-
Xina came when Xia Tangyue was doing work in the art museum.
"Where did you go on this business trip that made you look so bad? Were you abused by someone?"
Xia Tangyue smiled bitterly and shook his head, explaining to Xi Na that he had been in a car accident, not on a business trip.
Xina was so frightened that she couldn't speak for a moment and her tongue was stuck. After she came to her senses, she scolded her for hiding such a big thing.
"I'm sorry, Nana. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would worry." She stood up and turned around in front of her: "Look, I'm fine. Don't worry, I'm really fine. I'm fine now."
Xina breathed a sigh of relief, but then she thought that this might be a vendetta, and she immediately became nervous.
"Are you here for your cheap cousin?"
Xia Tangyue nodded, this possibility is very high.
Xina stroked her chin with her right hand, changed her sitting position, and hesitated for a while.
"Actually...someone in my family works at LUMINOVA Group, and his position is not low. He told me about your brother's previous job there."
Xia Tangyue was slightly surprised.
"What did he say?"
Sheena hesitated.
"I just heard about it, the news is not guaranteed to be true. It's just that... when Wen Zheng was the president of Greater China, he had a hostile relationship with the group's crown prince Li Yao. The two of them once had a huge quarrel."
"But for some reason, Wen Zheng suddenly resigned one day. Everyone said that Wen Zheng lost the struggle. But my relative said that was not the case. When Wen Zheng left, the chairman of the group personally tried to retain him several times..."
"But I just heard about this." Xina scratched her head and pondered: "But if the rumors are true, could it be this Li Yao who did it?"
Xia Tangyue remained silent, fell into deep thought, and slowly shook his head.
She didn't know much about Wen Zheng's past, and he almost never took the initiative to mention his experience working at LUMINOVA Group, as if he was very reluctant.
Could it really be related to this Li Yao?
But if she could think of this, Wen Zheng could definitely think of it too. Thinking of this, Xia Tangyue was not too worried. After all, Wen Zheng always took ten steps forward, and maybe he had already told the police about this.
She spent a day in the art museum, and after get off work she planned to go home to pack some of her clothes and stay with Wen Zheng in the hospital.
I didn't expect to have guests at home.
Xia Xiucheng introduced her enthusiastically: "This is your Uncle Zhao. When we were young, we worked together in the fruit wholesale business in the south. Now he is doing logistics in Southeast Asia and is in charge of most of the cold chain transportation lines."
Xia Tangyue paused and said politely, "Hello, Uncle Zhao."
Zhao Shun said with a smile: "Old Xia, this is your daughter. She's grown so big now!"
Zhuang Ziwen smiled happily, pushing Xia Tangyue's shoulders and moving forward. "Yes, he is only one year younger than your son. Why don't you ask the two young people to meet up some other day?"
