Chapter 216 Shen Que, I owe a lot... a lot of debts...

More than an hour.

Meng Zhiyi braved the rain and asked for directions along the way, and finally arrived at the Shen's building.

At this moment, she was extremely frantic, and when she was about to go straight inside, she was stopped by the security guard.

"I'm looking for Shen Que." Meng Zhiyi was in a low mood and spoke in a hoarse voice.

But the security guard felt something was wrong when he saw her like this and was even more reluctant to let her go.

Security guard: "Little girl, why don't you call them and ask them to come pick you up. Otherwise... I can't let you in without permission."

"The phone can't be reached..." Meng Zhiyi said pitifully.

The security guard was in a dilemma and felt sorry for her, but for the sake of his job, he gritted his teeth and did it.

"No, I can't let you in. Sorry."

Meng Zhiyi bit her lip and did not make things difficult for the security guard. Instead, she found a corner to shelter from the rain and squatted down.

Seeing that she had been waiting for more than ten minutes and her body was all wet, the security guard still couldn't bear it.

"Little girl, why don't you come in here and I'll pour you a cup of hot water."

Meng Zhiyi turned his head and looked at the security guard for a while, then stood up and walked towards the security booth.

Just at this moment, a car drove up.

There was a problem with the gate at the entrance and it stopped halfway up.

"Uncle Liu, help me lift the pole." The car window rolled down and Shen Que's secretary Jiang Rong stuck her head out.

"Hey, here I come."

When Meng Zhiyi stepped aside to make way, Jiang Rong happened to see her.

"Ms. Meng?" Jiang Rong's voice was filled with surprise.

Because Meng Zhiyi at this moment was really in a desperate situation and somewhat pitiful.

Meng Zhiyi looked up at her and couldn't help but say, "Sister Jiang."

Jiang Rong knew how much Shen Que cared about Meng Zhiyi. Seeing her like this downstairs of the company building, she got out of the car in fear.

She held a tissue and wiped the water off Meng Zhiyi's face while softly asking, "How did you get yourself into this state? Did you call Mr. Shen? Or did you have a fight?"

"He didn't answer the phone." Meng Zhiyi pursed her lips, trying to suppress her emotions.

"Not answering the phone?" Jiang Rong thought it was unlikely. Shen Que could choose not to answer other people's calls, but he would never choose not to answer Meng Zhiyi's calls.

But she couldn't care less about all this at the moment. Seeing Meng Zhiyi shivering with cold, she quickly took her into the company and sent a message to Shen Que.

At the top of Shen's Building, when Jiang Rong and Meng Zhiyi came out of the elevator, some employees cast surprised looks at them.

Just as they were wondering who this person was, the door of the conference room was pushed open and Shen Que walked out in a hurry.

"Shen Que..."

When she saw him, Meng Zhiyi's emotions suddenly collapsed.

Seeing her like this, Shen Que's heart trembled.

"Baby!"

He ran over quickly and held her face in his hands. When he touched her cold cheeks, he realized that her whole body was wet.

Shen Que felt distressed and anxious.

"The meeting is canceled." He threw down a sentence, then picked up Meng Zhiyi in front of everyone and walked quickly towards his office.

In the office, Shen Que kicked open the door of the lounge and went straight into the bathroom.

He put the person on the sink, turned around and immediately turned on the light and shower.

Until the hot water came out, he put Meng Zhiyi into the bathtub.

During this time, Shen Que did not say a word, but gently and carefully took off her wet clothes.

Noticing that she was completely stiff, Shen Que immediately took off his coat, then got into the bathtub and hugged her.

"Why didn't you answer my call?"

"I called you multiple times, but you didn't answer..."

Meng Zhiyi grabbed his clothes with both hands and asked aggrievedly.

"You called me?" Shen Que hugged her tightly, and the sound of water kept flowing.

"I called... I called many times... You didn't answer, and I didn't know where your company was... My phone was broken, so I couldn't pay, so I could only ask along the way..."

Meng Zhiyi buried her face in his arms and told him everything.

Suddenly, he remembered the strange number that called.

Thinking of this, Shen Que felt extremely distressed. He held Meng Zhiyi's face and kissed her nose gently to apologize.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you calling..."

"sorry……"

Shen Que was almost dying of self-blame.

Looking at those eyes that obviously had been crying for a long time, I felt even more heartbroken.

He bent down and kissed her, then asked softly, "What happened?"

But Meng Zhiyi shook her head, then snuggled into his arms again, saying nothing.

Shen Que didn't dare to ask any more questions. He could only hold her tightly and coax her softly until her body temperature returned to normal.

The bathtub was already overflowing.

"Baby, I'll give you a bath and then we can go outside, okay?"

"Hmm..." Meng Zhiyi buried his face and responded muffledly.

Afterwards, Shen Que gave her a bath and blew her hair dry as he did before before carrying her out.

Because Meng Zhiyi had never been to the company before, Shen Que had not had time to prepare her things, and in the end he could only let her wear his own shirt.

At this moment, Meng Zhiyi was sitting on the bed with a listless look on his face, wearing a loose white shirt and a pair of loose shorts.

In front of her, Shen Que was only wearing a bath towel, which he untied right in front of her and then changed into clean clothes.

"Now can you tell me what happened?"

Shen Que turned around and sat down beside her, looking at her tenderly.

He didn't think that someone had bullied her, because as far as he knew, Meng Zhiyi would take revenge on the spot and would not get herself into such a mess.

So the most likely scenario is that something else happened.

Meng Zhiyi bit her lip but remained silent.

Then, she used her hands and feet to climb directly onto Shen Que's legs and hugged him like a koala.

"Still don't want to say it?" Shen Que hugged her, lowered his head, and leaned against her with his head slightly tilted.

Meng Zhiyi: “Yeah.”

Shen Que sighed helplessly, but still respected her and did not ask any more questions.

Instead, he hugged her tighter.

He stroked her back gently like he was coaxing a child.

After a while, the person in the arms suddenly started sneezing.

Only then did Shen Que realize that she felt a little hot.

"Baby, you have a fever. Shall we go to the hospital?"

"I don't want to go." Meng Zhiyi didn't want to go anywhere and just wanted to stay here.

Shen Que was extremely anxious. He seemed to be able to handle everything with ease, but for the first time he found that he couldn't appease his girlfriend.

There was no other choice, Shen Que could only carry her out of the lounge, find his cell phone and send a message to Jiang Rong, asking her to send some medicine and food over.

Not long after, there was a knock on the office door.

Shen Que originally wanted to put Meng Zhiyi aside and go to open the door to get the medicine.

"I don't want to go down." Meng Zhiyi held him tightly.

If Meng Zhiyi had been so clingy before, Shen Que would have woken up laughing in his dreams.

But at this moment, he just felt heartache.

In the end, Shen Que had no choice but to let Jiang Rong in directly.

Jiang Rong was holding a bag of medicine and some fruit desserts.

After seeing Shen Que holding Meng Zhiyi and sitting on the sofa, the worries in my heart were relieved a little.

However, she was still a little worried, so she took out the thermometer and handed it to Shen Que, asking him to take her temperature.

Then, he found some antipyretic medicine, poured some water and put it aside, saying, "Let Miss Meng drink these medicines later."

"Also, most people will have a fever at night after being caught in the rain. Even if you take medicine, you still need to be more careful at night. If something is wrong, go to the hospital immediately."

"Mr. Shen, remember to take Ms. Meng's temperature every once in a while."

"Okay, I understand." Shen Que nodded.

After Jiang Rong left, Shen Que coaxed Meng Zhiyi to take the medicine.

The effect of the medicine came quickly, and Meng Zhiyi felt a little drowsy after a while.

She hung on Shen Que's body, her forehead against his chest, and said in a hoarse voice: "Shen Que, I owe a lot... so much debt..."
