Boss Jiang, don't get so close to my wife.
"The child is fine. He just inhaled a little anesthetic and woke up after the effect wore off."
In a single room on the upper floor of the hospital, Chen Nanxing sat in front of Jiang Shiyu's bed and listened to the examining doctor's report on Jiang Shiyu's condition.
"Will this drug have any adverse effects on the child?"
She leaned over, touched Jiang Shiyu's face and asked in a low voice, still worried about Jiang Shiyu's health.
The doctor's voice was also very low: "It's hard to say for now. The child is still too young and shouldn't be exposed to things like anesthetics."
Chen Nanxing was worried, imagining the worst possible outcome: "Will he be disabled?"
"Hmm..." The doctor didn't dare to guarantee anything, so he said vaguely: "We tested the anesthetic concentration in the child's blood. This concentration is generally not."
Generally not, that means there is still a certain probability.
Chen Nanxing's head began to feel dizzy again. She propped up her head with one hand and rubbed it uncomfortably. The doctor, seeing her like this, could not help but remind her:
"Ms. Chen, you have a mild concussion. You should rest in bed more and avoid physical exertion during this period. This will help your body recover."
"Thank you." Chen Nanxing smiled and thanked him, politely sent the doctor out, and then continued to sit by the bed waiting for Qin Enyu and Chu Zhenghe to come. She thought about it, took out her cell phone and sent a message to Ji Chuan.
Not long after Jiang Shiyu was taken back from the kidnappers, the police arrived, and with them came an ambulance from the hospital. Ji Chuan arranged a ward for Jiang Shiyu and stayed with her until she had the stitches on her forehead sewn before rushing back to the police station to take a statement.
Now I don't know if it's okay over there.
Chen Nanxing was chatting with Ji Chuan when Qin Enyu stood at the door of the ward:
"Nanxing, how is Yiyi now? Where is he injured? Is he okay? Xiaoji called me and said that he has been caught?"
Qin Enyu's hair was disheveled and her eyes were red. She had set out half an hour earlier than Chen Nanxing and the others. She was still wearing pajamas and looked a little disheveled compared to usual. The hand she held on Chen Nanxing's was trembling slightly, but her strength was surprisingly great, and she squeezed Chen Nanxing's hand until it turned white.
Next to her stood Chu Zhenghe, who also had an anxious look on his face. However, he was more rational than Qin Enyu. After hearing Chen Nanxing's cry of pain, he immediately separated their clasped hands and half-embraced Qin Enyu in his arms to comfort her:
"Zhixu, calm down and listen to Miss Chen first."
Chen Nanxing understood Qin Enyu's feelings and comforted her while leading her inside:
"Zhixu, don't worry. Yiyi is fine. The doctor just left and said he just inhaled a little anesthesia. He's basically fine. We'll have to wait until Yiyi wakes up to see the details."
Qin Enyu rushed to the bedside and looked Jiang Shiyu up and down carefully. Only after she was sure that there was nothing wrong with Jiang Shiyu did she regain some of her sanity. The tears that had not been shed just now began to flow.
There was one lying on the bed, and another crying beside him. Chu Zhenghe felt doubly distressed, and regardless of Chen Nanxing's presence, he hugged Qin Enyu in his arms:
"It's okay, don't cry, okay?"
Chen Nanxing rarely saw Qin Enyu cry, and for a moment he forgot to react. Qin Enyu cried for a moment, then she stopped crying and pushed Chu Zhenghe aside and took Chen Nanxing's hand.
"Nanxing, thank you so much today. You even injured yourself trying to save Yiyi."
She spoke sincerely, and the strength of her grip on Chen Nanxing's hand silently expressed her gratitude, but verbal thanks were far from enough. She turned around and pulled Chu Zhenghe, ordering him around with a clear conscience:
"Chu Zhenghe, go find a doctor and get Nanxing a single room. Then arrange a full body checkup for her."
Chu Zhenghe obeyed the order and was about to leave, but Chen Nanxing hurriedly stopped him. After much persuasion, he ended the thank-you ceremony with Qin Enyu waiving all her rent.
The originally tense and anxious atmosphere in the ward was gradually replaced by warmth. However, this warmth did not last long before it was broken by a new uninvited guest. Lin Shanglu, who was supposed to be waiting for the results in City B, also came with a fruit basket.
His own daughter was lying unconscious in the hospital bed, and the mastermind behind this actually dared to come and provoke him?!
Qin Enyu's worry for her daughter suddenly turned into anger towards Lin Shanglu. She touched Jiang Shiyu's loose hair lovingly, and the next second she slapped Lin Shanglu in the face with lightning speed.
"You did it!"
The sound of slapping echoed in the ward, and Chen Nanxing's heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously wanted to walk over to Lin Shanglu, but she came to her senses the next second and stopped.
The slap came so suddenly that the person involved didn't even react. By the time Lin Shanglu reacted with a dark face and was about to get angry, Chu Zhenghe also reacted.
"Mr. Lin."
Chu Zhenghe stepped forward and put his arm around Qin Enyu's shoulders, seizing the initiative before Lin Shanglu could question him.
"The child is still resting, Mr. Lin, can you please have a moment with me?"
After saying that, Chu Zhenghe made a gesture of invitation.
Lin Shanglu's breath was stuck in his throat, and his face turned purple. He glanced at Chen Nanxing, who was holding Qin Enyu's hand to comfort him. He wanted to call Chen Nanxing to go out together, but Qin Enyu stepped in front of him and glared back at him fiercely. The look in her eyes was as if she could spit fire, and Chen Nanxing turned her head away as if she didn't want to look at him.
Forget it, let’s deal with that slap first and then take her back.
Lin Shanglu's eyes turned. He also disliked Qin Enyu, but he had been in this circle for so long that he had learned all the gentlemanly manners. He couldn't do something like slapping Qin Enyu in the face. He could only follow Chu Zhenghe's gesture and walk out with a grim face.
Lin Shanglu left. Qin Enyu was still in the ward, looking furious and wishing she could slap Lin Shanglu again. Chu Zhenghe held her shoulders tightly, his expression softening in an instant.
"Calm down, Yi Yi is still resting. You sit here with Yi Yi for a while. I'll go talk to him first, okay?"
Qin Enyu was angry and didn't want to pay attention to him. Chu Zhenghe obviously understood Qin Enyu's temper. He stroked Qin Enyu's hair and asked Chen Nanxing to help:
"Ms. Chen, please look after Zhixu and Yiyi first."
Not only did he threaten me, he even kidnapped a child. Chen Nanxing thought that Lin Shanglu had brought it upon himself. But then she thought that the source of the incident was all because of her, and she felt even more guilty towards Qin Enyu.
In her eyes, Chu Zhenghe's request was what she should do. Chen Nanxing held Qin Enyu's arms with both hands from behind, expressing her determination with words and actions.
"Don't worry, Zhixu and Yiyi are here with me."
Qin Enyu's slightly cool and damp fingertips clung to Chen Nanxing's hand on her arm and rolled her eyes at Chu Zhenghe:
"Why are you watching over me? I'm fine here."
This was truly an indiscriminate attack. Chen Nanxing already felt guilty towards Qin Enyu because it was Lin Shanglu who kidnapped Jiang Zhixu for her. Now, how could she bear to see Qin Enyu quarreling with Chu Zhenghe because of her? She hurried forward:
"Zhixu, I'm really fine. Mr. Chu, you can go. I'm here."
"Thank you, Miss Chen."
Chu Zhenghe smiled, walked up to Qin Enyu and kissed her on the forehead. When he came out, Lin Shanglu was already at the window behind the two wards.
Chu Zhenghe walked over with long legs, flipped his hand over, showed a bank card and got straight to the point:
"Boss Lin, there's 100,000 yuan in this card, so forget about the slap."
Lin Shanglu paused as he poured out his cigarette: "What does Mr. Chu mean by this?"
Chu Zhenghe looked at him with a smile, and the hand holding the bank card moved forward an inch, the meaning was self-evident. Lin Shanglu, holding a cigarette in his mouth, raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at Chu Zhenghe, then lit up and took a puff of his cigarette:
"It's only a hundred thousand. Mr. Chu is underestimating me."
He blew out a smoke ring and moved the cigarette box closer to Chu Zhenghe. Chu Zhenghe waved his hand to refuse and glanced at the no-smoking sign on the side:
"Thank you, Mr. Lin. I don't smoke."
Lin Shanglu snorted and put the cigarette box back into his pocket. Chu Zhenghe kept a decent smile on his face and brought the conversation back on track:
"Since one hundred thousand is not enough, Mr. Lin, please make an offer."
"No need to pay, just consider it as the fee for hiring Mr. Chu to be my lobbyist."
Lin Shanglu took a deep puff of his cigarette:
"Please advise Boss Jiang not to get so close to my wife."
Smoke enveloped his face, and Lin Shanglu blew out smoke rings:
"By the way, I'd like to remind Mr. Chu that if he doesn't want his years of hard work to be ruined, he'd better stay away from Mr. Jiang."
"How do you say that?"
Chu Zhenghe had turned a deaf ear when Lin Shanglu asked him to be a lobbyist, but now that Qin Enyu's matter was mentioned, he showed great interest. Lin Shanglu was in a bad mood and spoke with a hint of sarcasm:
"Boss Chu and Boss Jiang are acting so intimately, I'm sure they have a special relationship. Why didn't she tell you?"
Chu Zhenghe automatically ignored this extremely unpleasant tone and humbly asked:
"What did you say?"
have no idea?
His reaction gave Lin Shanglu a new idea. If Qin Enyu's life was disrupted, would she no longer care about Chen Nanxing? Lin Shanglu's mind moved, and he took down the cigarette in his mouth.
"The biological father of Boss Jiang's daughter is the second son of the Qin family of Boyuan Group."
After revealing the information, he waited with interest for Chu Zhenghe's reaction.
"I know. What's the big deal? Zhixu has already accepted my proposal. Next month she will be my wife, and Yiyi will become my daughter."
To his disappointment, Chu Zhenghe was calm and composed. When talking about him and Qin Enyu entering the next stage of their lives, he even raised his hand with the wedding ring to Lin Shanglu with a blush on his face.
"She and I first met at an art exhibition. Honestly, the exhibition was pretty average, not really my style. There was one beautiful oil painting, though. It showed a young girl, eyes closed, resting on a swing covered in creeping red roses. It was incredible that I could actually like the girl in that painting. It reminded me of an ancient Chinese myth I read as a child—very ethereal, yet truly real."
Lin Shanglu had no intention of listening to their love story. The engagement ring on Chu Zhenghe's finger was more like a slap in his face, because that ring was pushed out by Hengxing to show the everlasting love between him and Chen Nanxing.
Now his relationship with Chen Nanxing was in a mess, but Chu Zhenghe used it to successfully propose to her. How could Lin Shanglu be happy? But Chu Zhenghe didn't care:
"That day, I found the owner of the exhibition, Qin Zhao, the third son of the Qin family of Boyuan Group. I tried to get him to sell me the painting, but he refused. However, I still got it in the end. Interestingly, two months later, I saw her by the Nautilus River. She was holding Yi Yi, standing in the sunset, as holy as a goddess."
This was the beginning of all their good fortunes. Whenever Chu Zhenghe recalled it, he felt extremely tired:
"This should be what you often call fate."
“…”
The plan was shattered and he was forced to eat a lot of dog food. Lin Shanglu smoked silently without saying anything, while Chu Zhenghe's love story continued:
"I pursued her for a long time. At the beginning, she always liked to make up lies to deceive me, saying that her face was fake, trying to convince me that I loved the painting, not her. But I knew very well that maybe it was the girl in the painting that made me fall in love at first sight, but as we got to know each other later, I fell in love with her."
His blue-violet eyes were filled with happiness:
"No matter who she is, what her past is, whether her name is Jiang Zhixu or someone else, I love her. As long as she wants, I can give her anything, even if she wants to leave me."
"Oh, I don't have such an open mind as Mr. Chu."
Lin Shanglu scoffed at this devotion. He threw his half-smoked cigarette to the ground and crushed the spark with his expensive leather shoe.
"What I want is to get my hands on it by all means!"
There was no hope of persuasion, and Chu Zhenghe was no longer as good-tempered as before. He looked at Lin Shanglu with a forced smile:
"Since Mr. Lin is so determined to do what he wants, I won't say anything. I just hope Mr. Lin won't try to harm my wife and daughter again."
