She stood up, feeling dizzy from blood loss, and stood still for a while before taking her first steps out of the conference room.
The bandaged wound on his forehead was incredibly conspicuous!
Why is Gong Changfan so patient in waiting for her?
She casually glanced at her watch; more than an hour had passed since her secretary came in to tell her that Gong Changfan had arrived.
"Miss Su." The secretary came forward. The secretary wondered if it was just her imagination, but Su Ziqing's face seemed even paler.
I was discharged from the hospital very early this morning, and I didn't eat much for lunch. I've been busy since morning, almost non-stop.
I was injured a couple of days ago, and the wound is still on my forehead. Then I miscarried yesterday...
The secretary felt that Su Ziqing was being subjected to inhuman torture.
Unfortunately, the company couldn't do without her at that time, and she was incredibly busy.
She even suddenly had the illusion that it was good to be a white-collar worker.
Su Ziqing hummed in agreement and looked at her secretary, "Make me a cup of coffee."
"Coffee?" The secretary thought she had misheard Su Ziqing's words. "Your current condition..."
"If I don't have a cup of coffee soon, I might collapse right now." Su Ziqing tugged at the corner of her mouth. Now that the child was gone, there was no need to refrain from talking.
As for being bad for your health...
Which of the things she's doing now is good for her health?
Su Ziqing walked towards the reception room.
Gong Changfan was alone there, while his bodyguards were far outside the reception room.
Upon seeing Su Ziqing, the bodyguard stood still and made no attempt to stop her, as Gong Changfan had come specifically to see Su Ziqing.
Pushing open the door to the reception room, Su Ziqing hadn't even uttered a sound when she heard Gong Changfan's slightly sarcastic words, "Miss Su is really busy..." Before she could finish the word "busy," she saw Su Ziqing's pale face.
Su Ziqing was well aware that she was feeling a bit weak, so she didn't stand on ceremony with Gong Changfan and went inside to sit down, which made her feel a little more comfortable.
Seeing Su Ziqing like this, Gong Changfan swallowed back all the words he shouldn't have said, and after a long while, he finally managed to stammer, "Do you really have to push yourself so hard?"
Su Ziqing tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint smile, "Mr. Gong should understand very well the feeling of being forced into a situation where the duck has to work twice as hard at the last minute."
She meant that neither she nor he had ever thought about taking over a large corporation or company before.
Gong Changfan frowned.
The secretary brought in coffee. "Ms. Su, your coffee."
"You still dare to drink coffee now?" Gong Changfan thought he had misheard.
Su Ziqing picked up her coffee and took a sip. "Why wouldn't I dare?"
"You..." Gong Changfan felt like he was going to die of anger, and finally managed to utter the last sentence after the secretary left, "You're the one who just had a miscarriage!!"
The thought of losing her child is like a sharp blade repeatedly stabbing into her heart every time it's mentioned.
“Yes, so I don’t have to keep quiet anymore,” she said softly.
Then she took a few more sips; the coffee was energizing and seemed to be working well for her.
Gong Changfan was really angry when he heard her words.
Why does he always feel like he's being annoyed by Su Ziqing?
There's no time to delve into that idea now," Gong Changfan said earnestly, "Your health is the most important thing."
"Thank you, I know, but I'm young, I can handle the risks. Mr. Gong can worry about his own things." Su Ziqing put down her coffee cup and, before Gong Changfan could say anything, asked, "I wonder what brings Mr. Gong to see me? You don't happen to be passing through City A?"
Gong Chengjue was only found last night. Judging by the time, Gong Chengjue should be in the capital right now. So, as the head of the family, if he's not at the hospital with Gong Chengjue, he should be busy at the company, right?
Like her, she has to fight on the front lines of the company even when she's injured or sick.
“No, I came here specifically as the head of the Gong family,” Gong Changfan said earnestly, looking at her.
During the hour he waited for her, he considered various ways to start the conversation, wanting to save face while also resolving the unpleasantness they had inadvertently caused. However, in the end, he felt that this direct approach was the most appropriate.
Su Ziqing looked at him, her face expressionless and indifferent. "Mr. Gong, please speak frankly."
“Chengjue is back. He’s in a hospital in the capital. His condition… is very bad.” Gong Changfan said slowly and clearly, while watching Su Ziqing’s expression.
Su Ziqing's heart tightened, but her expression remained unchanged. She gave a faint "oh," and said, "With the Gong family's abilities, it shouldn't be difficult for him to escape danger."
“Miss Su, Chengjue said that it was your people who found him. The Gong family will never forget this favor.” This was the attitude of the head of the Gong family.
Su Ziqing found this somewhat amusing and shook her head. "Mr. Gong, you must have misunderstood something. This is me repaying a favor to Chengjue."
“Su…”
"Now, we're even," Su Ziqing said calmly.
"A clean break?" This outcome was not quite what he had expected, but when Gong Changhong called her from the capital and asked her to come to the capital, her refusal seemed to have foreseen this result.
Wait, isn't it because she suddenly suffered a miscarriage and became physically unable to move around...?
Gong Changfan glanced at Su Ziqing, who was still holding on. If she were really too weak to move, she wouldn't be coming to work.
There really is only one reason why she doesn't go to the capital: she doesn't want to go.
Why?
Just two days ago, she showed him how much she cared about Gong Chengjue.
Furthermore, she even came up with the idea of using mercenaries...
Well, Gong Changfan really doesn't understand what Su Ziqing is thinking right now.
“Yes, Mr. Gong, if you have nothing else, please leave. I have things to do, and I can rest for a couple of days after I’m done,” Su Ziqing said to Gong Changfan, forcing herself to stay alert.
"Is Miss Su angry because of what I said a few days ago?" Gong Changfan couldn't help but think this way. "If so, then I can apologize to you. Indeed, it was wrong to take care of you under the pretext of 'for your own good'."
Su Ziqing: "..." Does he think she can't understand what he means?
"Taking care of"? It's clearly an attempt at house arrest!
However, the matter is in the past. She left the hospital then, and that was the end of it. There's no need for her to hold a grudge against him now.
"Mr. Gong, the matter is over."
“Chengjue wanted to see him. Given his condition, the doctor said it would take at least three days for him to wake up, but he woke up this morning…” Gong Changfan looked at her very seriously. “Miss Su, don’t you understand? He cares about you a lot.”
"Does Mr. Gong really want me to visit him at this time?" Su Ziqing looked at Gong Changfan earnestly.
"To the outside world, Miss Zhou is still his girlfriend. Although the marriage alliance between the Zhou family and the Gong family has not been officially announced, the publicity has been built up to a certain extent. Is this the time for me, his ex-girlfriend, to step forward?"
