Gu Yan paused as he passed the tea room.
Seeing that she was the only one inside, her complexion was not good, and her face was especially pale under the light.
He turned on his toes and gently knocked on the door of the tea room.
Xu Xinchen put down her cup, looked up and saw it was him, and was slightly taken aback.
He leaned against the door, his dark eyes looking into hers with genuine concern. He asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Xu Xinchen didn't want to see this person at the moment, and her expression was anything but calm. In addition, she was sick and in a bad mood, so she said forcefully, "It's nothing."
He noticed something was wrong with her; she avoided his gaze, as if she desperately didn't want to see him.
Are you still feeling ashamed about what happened at your engagement party?
No, what she saw in her eyes at that moment wasn't shame, but rather a disgust she wanted to avoid at all costs.
Gu Yan's eyelids twitched, and he smiled, "Why did you come to the company today?"
"I'll take a taxi," she said dismissively, her expression unpleasant.
"Oh." Gu Yan's eyes were fixed on the crack in the floor, but his words were ruthless. "It's easy to hail a taxi now, you can even get a Lamborghini."
Xu Xinchen snorted coldly, looked up at him, and immediately retorted, "If President Gu can hail a car, why can't others?"
"That's true." He stared at her intently for a long time, a very slight smile playing on his lips, completely losing his composure.
She continued in high spirits, "Regarding the latest acquisition, could you come up here in a bit..."
"Xiao Wang was in charge of handling the acquisition entirely. My understanding of this matter is nowhere near as in-depth as his. I'll have Xiao Wang go to President Gu's office later..."
The woman's face was calm and composed, like a programmed robot, revealing not a single expression.
"Okay." Gu Yan smiled and strode out of the tea room.
As soon as he came out, his face turned cold, like an ice cube, radiating an aura that kept strangers at bay.
He walked briskly and soon arrived at the office.
Xu Xinchen returned to her seat, took some cold medicine, and her headache finally subsided. She lay down on the table and slept for a while. Perhaps because the office temperature was low, she felt even more weak after only sleeping for a short time.
She forced herself to finish the rest of the work.
When it was time to leave work, all the noisy people outside had finally left, leaving only an empty office.
A sudden, sharp pain shot through her head. She braced her hand against her forehead and tried to hold on for a few minutes, but it was all in vain. She then decided to pack her things and go home.
But as soon as he reached the door, he felt dizzy and his body went limp.
Chen Ningsheng leaned against the door of the Lamborghini, one hand supporting himself on the edge of the door and the other on the roof.
He gazed at the office building not far away, where people were going in and out, but none of them were the person he was waiting for.
Surely they haven't gotten off work yet.
He raised his hand to check the time.
The once bustling entrance has become deserted, with only one or two people occasionally coming and going.
The bright sky seemed to be shrouded in a curtain, becoming dark and indistinct.
Chen Ningsheng felt a little irritated, but this was overshadowed by anticipation.
Normally, if anyone made him wait this long, he would beat them half to death, but today, forget it.
She always managed to keep him from getting angry.
In the end, they were still willing to do it.
Anyway, he's fallen for her, and he accepts it.
The thought of seeing her soon made me excited again, as if all the waiting before was insignificant.
While deep in thought, a figure suddenly rushed out of the door and, before Chen Ningsheng could even see clearly, carried someone into the car in front.
He stood there for a few seconds, then immediately jumped into the car, sped off at maximum speed like an arrow.
My eyes were fixed on the car in front of me.
Gu Yan held Xu Xinchen in his arms, and a hint of anxiety appeared on his usually calm face.
"Drive faster," he said to the driver.
When they arrived at the hospital, the place was bustling with people coming and going. He carried her around like a headless fly, finally finding a nurse who gave him an impatient look and pointed to the department behind her, saying, "Register there."
Gu Yan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and he didn't care about anything else. At this moment, he began to regret that he hadn't left the phone numbers of those doctors.
Suddenly a gust of wind rushed by, and before Gu Yan could react, the woman in his arms was in someone else's hands.
He stared blankly at Chen Ningsheng, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
Chen Ningsheng's face was stern. He glanced at the pale and haggard woman in his arms, his eyes darkening further. He strode inside, carrying her in his arms, calling out, "Dr. Xu..."
The surrounding patients were drawn to his shouts and looked over, but Chen Ningsheng ignored them completely and continued to yell.
Several nurses rushed over to stop him, shouting, "This is a hospital! What are you yelling about?"
"Where is Dr. Xu?" he asked.
"Dr. Xu is out seeing patients today. You've come at the wrong time. Go ahead and register."
A little girl replied.
Chen Ningsheng's brow twitched slightly, and he continued to shout loudly, ignoring everything else, "Dr. Xu."
"What are you doing? What are you doing?" the little girl exclaimed anxiously.
"Treat her first, or I'll keep shouting here."
The nurse was completely stunned by his shameless attitude. She glared at him angrily and helplessly led the way, saying, "Come with me, I'm really scared of you."
When Xu Xinchen woke up, it was already dark outside the window.
Her mind was blank, as if it had crashed, and she didn't know where she was.
Using the moonlight shining through the window, she struggled to sit up against the headboard and looked around for a long time before realizing that this must be a hospital.
The hospital? Why is she back at the hospital?
She recalled the events carefully, her lips pale.
The last memory I have of her is that she collapsed at the office door. Was she found and taken to the hospital?
Who is it?
She was still not clear-headed and decided to abandon this difficult guess.
She felt thirsty and stretched herself to reach the water on the table.
Suddenly I realized something was wrong.
She turned her head and saw a dark shadow.
He was sitting in a chair, so his face was not visible.
She calmed her racing heart and moved closer to examine it closely.
It was only with difficulty that I could recognize that it was Chen Ningsheng.
His head was tilted to the side, his hands were folded, and he was leaning against the chair. He didn't look comfortable while sleeping. Under the chair, his long legs were curled up, with nowhere to go.
But this doesn't diminish his handsomeness at all.
Perhaps he was asleep, because all the fierceness in his body had disappeared.
With his handsome features, he looks like a dashing young gentleman.
Xu Xinchen wasn't too surprised by his appearance there.
She guessed the general idea quite accurately.
Even after nearly a year apart, every inch of his face remained deeply etched in her mind, familiarly depicted.
Xu Xinchen was so engrossed in watching that he was suddenly pulled away from his gaze.
When he opened his eyes, a fierce look flashed in them, and his whole body was filled with alertness. But when he saw that she had woken up and was half-lying on the bed, he slowly withdrew his imposing aura.
