Chapter 5: The disease breaks out, he is in more pain than her
Lu Yu was still struggling and refused to let Jing Ji get close to her. Even though her consciousness was gradually fading, she was still holding on.
It hurt, her whole body was in pain, but her eyes were filled with endless hatred. She swore that every bit of pain she was suffering now would be returned to that couple tenfold or a hundredfold.
But what Lu Yu didn't know was that Jing Ji was seeing this and feeling the pain in his heart, and he wasn't feeling much better than her.
To alleviate Lu Yu's pain, Jing Ji removed the handcuffs. She tried to stop him, but the effects of the drug had drained all her strength, making it difficult for her to even speak. Her eyelids grew heavier, and finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep in Jing Ji's arms.
He knew that she had made it through this moment, but every time her illness relapsed, if he let her be like today, he was afraid that he would not be able to help himself... and let go.
He would rather she hurt him when she was sick than torture herself like she was today.
Jing Ji called a doctor to treat Lu Yu's wound with concern, and he sat beside her to accompany her.
Sometimes he complained that the doctor didn't treat the wound properly, sometimes he complained that he hurt Lu Yu by being too rough, and sometimes he worried that she would get a scar on her wrist, and he kept complaining about it.
Gu Yan, a surgical expert at Jingdu Hospital, rolled his eyes and simply quit. He stuffed the things in his hand into Jing Ji's hands and said, "You can do it if you can."
The Gu family and the Jing family are old friends. When Jing Ji was kicked out of the Jing family and started his own business, Gu Yan, as a good friend, helped him a lot, so Gu Yan always said whatever he wanted in front of Jing Ji.
But as Jing Ji's good friend, he still couldn't figure out what was so good about this woman Lu Yu?
At the beginning, Jing Ji spent countless time and energy to break away from the Jing family. When he finally succeeded in setting up his own business and made Ji Yu an insurmountable legend at the top of the pyramid of Kyoto's business circle, Lu Yu was taken back. Not only did she come back, but she was also engaged to Jing Ji.
Jing Ji didn't know what was wrong with him, but he actually agreed to incorporate Ji Yu into Jing's subsidiary company. The deal was to let Lu Yu marry him.
How could Jing Ji not know what the people in the Jing family were thinking? That was why he tried so hard to leave the Jing family, but he never expected such a result. Not only did the company he built up become a subsidiary of the Jing family, but the woman he had worked so hard to marry was trying every possible way to bring him down.
Jing Ji never allowed himself to mention these things in front of him, especially things about this woman. She was his Achilles' heel. Anything related to her was more important than the sky falling.
Knowing how difficult it has been for Jing Ji over the years, and how this woman doesn't know how to cherish such a good man, Gu Yan looks down on Lu Yu from the bottom of his heart. Even in front of Jing Ji, although he doesn't say it, he never has a good face towards Lu Yu.
He also couldn't understand why this woman didn't like Jing Ji, but she fell for that scumbag Gu Shuo. He really wanted to find an ophthalmologist to take a good look at this woman.
Jing Ji carefully checked the area where Lu Yu was injured and confirmed that there was no problem with Gu Yan's treatment, so he felt relieved.
Knowing that Lu Yu would need to sleep for a while, Jing Ji asked the housekeeper to keep a good eye on her while he went to the company.

When Lu Yu woke up, it was already dark.
Looking at the wound on her wrist that had been treated, she knew that it must have been Jingji who treated it.
Thinking about how Jing Ji wanted to uncuff her when the drug took effect, and she didn't remember what happened afterwards, could it be that she hurt Jing Ji again when she was unconscious?
Thinking of this, Lu Yu got out of bed barefoot without caring about the injuries on her body. She entered some code into the door lock, but after more than ten seconds, she opened the bedroom door easily.
Now she just wanted to see Jingji and find out where he was injured and how serious it was.
Jing Ji was nowhere to be found, and she was not in any of the rooms upstairs. Lu Yu hurried downstairs. The servants were shocked to see Lu Yu. The housekeeper had clearly told them to lock the door, so how did this woman get out?
"Miss Lu, what are you looking for?" The butler remained calm. Seeing Lu Yu's anxious look, he hurried over to ask.
"Where is Jingji?" Lu Yu asked directly without any further ado.
The housekeeper was afraid that Lu Yu would escape again, so he winked at the servants and explained to Lu Yu, "The Second Master has gone to the company. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Then he looked at the servants behind her and ordered, "Miss Lu's illness has not yet recovered. Help her back to her room."
Lu Yu knew that this was Jing Ji's intention, but she didn't like being touched by others and was not good at expressing herself. She just wanted to see Jing Ji with her own eyes and make sure that he was okay. She would not believe anything others said.
When several servants were about to grab her from behind, she dodged them without any hesitation, frowning slightly: "Don't touch me."
"Miss Lu, if you go out like this, people will probably think you are crazy." The housekeeper knew that the Second Master doted on her and could not use force against her, so he could only delay time and wait for the Second Master to come back.
Hearing the housekeeper's words, Lu Yu looked down. She had been so focused on finding Jing Ji that she hadn't noticed she looked rather disheveled. She was only wearing pajamas, and her hair was disheveled. She really couldn't go out like that.
He turned and walked towards the bedroom to change his clothes.
Upon seeing this, the housekeeper quickly called Jing Ji to inform him that Lu Yu had tried to escape but had been stopped by him.
Jing Ji, who was in a meeting, heard the housekeeper's words, left everyone in the meeting room, turned around and walked out of the meeting room, and hurried towards the garage.
Jing Ji's face was terribly dark at this moment. The calm before the storm is often the most terrifying, waiting to bring about devastating consequences at the moment of the outbreak.
He knew she wouldn't stay so peacefully, and sure enough, as soon as he left, she tried every possible way to escape.

Lu Yu returned to her bedroom and looked at herself in the mirror. Two scars etched across her once fair, smooth face, marring its natural beauty. Her face was beautifully shaped, its oval shape accentuating her elegant and distinguished temperament. But her charming, watery, foxy eyes only heightened her aura. The slightly upturned corners of her eyes captivated her, captivating her in a way that captivated her inadvertently. Her plump, jelly-like lips were as sweet and intoxicating as jelly.
Such a beautiful and perfect face, even with two scars on her face, it does not affect her outstanding temperament at all. It's just that everyone likes perfect things, and those who see the scars on her face have already labeled her ugly.
Lu Yu had just changed her clothes and was about to stand up to go out when she saw Jing Ji suddenly rushing in and appearing in front of her with a fierce look on his face.
Just as the man's suppressed anger was about to explode, the woman suddenly ran over and hugged him, causing him to lose his temper for a moment and become a little at a loss.
