Chapter 57
Chu Muchao found a hotel near the hospital.
I woke up at 7 p.m., and the sky outside the window was completely dark.
Chu Muchao sat up and rested for a while before getting off the bed.
After a quick wash, I returned to the hospital.
Chu Jianghe and Yan Ke have not yet woken up.
Chu Wen said that Yan Ke woke up once while she was resting.
Chu Muchao hurriedly asked, "How is she? Is she conscious? Did she say anything?"
Chu Wen shook his head: "She couldn't speak. I told her we were all here and to rest assured, and she fell asleep again."
"oh……"
Chu Muchao breathed a sigh of relief, but also noticed the people around him.
A man in a white shirt was with Chu Wen. When they made eye contact, the man immediately nodded in greeting.
"Hello, Ms. Chu, I am Mr. Chu's assistant."
Chu Wen not only brought his assistant, but also invited Wu Mi and Xiao He.
The housekeeper and nanny also came.
Chu Wen said, "We've already contacted the family doctor. Once they wake up and their condition stabilizes, we can head back."
"Um."
Now that everyone has arrived, she can finally relax.
Chu Muchao patted Chu Wen's chest with the back of his hand.
"Brother, come with me to see a doctor."
Chu Wen's breath hitched.
"good."
-
On the way to the doctor's office, Chu Wen followed silently with his head down, like a large dog waiting to be called at any time.
When Chu Muchao went into the office to inquire about the doctor's condition, he stood at the door, staring intently at Chu Muchao's back.
Just as Chu Wen said, Chu Jianghe and Yan Ke only need to stay awake for a few days for observation in the hospital, and they can return to the hospital in Nancheng after their condition improves.
After understanding the situation, Chu Muchao thanked the doctor and left the office.
Chu Wen turned to the side, lowered his head and looked down, becoming unusually docile.
Chu Muchao glanced at him and said, "Come for a walk with me."
Chu Wen: "Okay."
The hospital was crowded with people. Chu Muchao walked ahead, leading Chu Wen away from the crowd to the artificial lake.
Just as he stood still and was about to speak, Chu Wen suddenly spoke up.
"You know."
Chu Muchao asked, "What are you referring to?"
"About my biological father," Chu Wen said. "The housekeeper told me that you went to the storage room on the third floor."
"Hmm." Chu Muchao turned around and looked at him intently. "Is it really unrelated to your parents' car accident? I don't want to doubt you, but I also don't believe that after thinking about the kidnapping, you won't resent me or them at all."
"Resentment? How could there be no resentment?"
Chu Wen stared straight into Chu Muchao's eyes, his voice cold and low.
"I could have just forgotten, but one day, I suddenly realized that I wasn't their biological child, and I suddenly remembered how my biological father died. How could I not resent them?"
“I have no family left. My family died because of me and... those kidnapped people. How could I not resent them? Why me of all people? Chaochao, it's too much to ask me not to resent them at all. I'm just an ordinary person, not a saint. Reason tells me that he died in the line of duty, but reason can't prevail over emotion.”
"So you..."
"But that was all in the past."
Chu Wen guessed what she wanted to say, forcefully interrupted her, and approached her step by step.
“I struggled with how I could like the person who indirectly caused my father’s death, how I could recognize the person who caused my father’s death as my parents. I resented you. But I did not struggle with my emotions.”
"……What's the meaning?"
Chu Wen stopped just an arm's length away from Chu Muchao and opened his arms to her.
"Chaochao, come here, let your brother give you a hug."
"I don't want to. Explain yourself clearly," Chu Muchao refused.
Chu Wen opened his arms and continued to approach her.
"I can't deny my feelings for you. Liking you seems to be engraved in my body, an innate ability. I can't ignore you, I only know how to pay attention to you and protect you."
"Since I can't stop these feelings from growing, I can only compromise with them."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Wen had already walked up to Chu Muchao.
As the shadow loomed down, Chu Mu instinctively retreated, trying to escape, but Chu Wen suddenly tightened his arms and held him tightly in his embrace.
"Chao Chao, I will never let you leave me in this lifetime."
Chu Wen lowered his head and buried his face in her neck, taking a deep sniff.
"I've considered all the things you suspect, but I haven't done any of them. My decision to leave the Chu family was because I wanted to stand before you with dignity and hold your hand."
He held her tightly, his arms trembling with restraint, and quickly let go, afraid of hurting her.
"Don't blame me. I can't explain exactly how I felt when I recalled it. But at least after deciding to love you unconditionally, I've let go and figured it out."
She probably... could guess.
More than resenting her, Chu Wen probably regrets forgetting her.
Chu Wen held her with his head down for a long time.
It wasn't until Chu Muchao raised her hands and wrapped them around his waist that Chu Wen loosened his grip a little and hugged her even tighter.
The pectoral muscles that were normally soft to the touch now hurt when pressed against her.
Chu Muchao angrily slapped his back.
"Be gentle! It hurts!"
"Sorry, Chaochao."
Chu Wen lowered his head, affectionately rubbed his cheek against her hair, and then created a little distance between them.
"Chaochao, I wouldn't bear to hurt you, so how could I hurt your family? Please don't misunderstand me, okay?"
Chu Muchao's tone softened.
"I'm sorry... You always keep things from me, you hide everything from me. You never tell me what you're busy with, you never tell me what's on your mind. I only found out you weren't eating with me because of someone else, and I only found out you were the CEO of another company because of the news, I..."
“I know you don’t need to apologize. I know what you’re thinking.”
Chu Wen sighed and said, "It's my fault. I wanted to make things easier for you and didn't want you to have any worries."
Chu Muchao: "It's because you don't tell me anything that I get annoyed."
"Yes... I tried to hide it from you, never mentioning it or explaining it. It was all my fault, brother." Chu Wen stroked her hair, and after speaking, gently kissed the top of her head. "I'm sorry, brother will change in the future."
Chu Muchao tugged at his clothes and hummed in response.
-
Back at the hospital.
There was one more person in the corridor.
Turning the corner, Chu Wen was the first to see who the extra person was.
She turned around seemingly casually and took Chu Muchao's hand.
Chu Muchao glanced down, then let him take her hand and lead her out of the door around the corner.
Turning around, Chu Muchao looked up and met Qin Ye's gaze.
For a moment, the other person's gaze quickly shifted away, as if trying to escape, but it soon returned to her face.
"Xiao Chao, are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. What brings you here?"
Chu Muchao tried to pull his hand away, but Chu Wen held it even tighter, so he simply let him hold it.
"I saw that your parents were out of danger, but I was still worried about you, so I came to check on you. I'm glad you're alright."
Qin Ye put his left hand into his pocket and pointed to their clasped hands with his right.
What are you doing here?
Chu Wen raised his hands, which were clasped together: "As you can see."
Qin Ye smiled and said, "Well done, you guys have actually gotten this far."
Chu Wen hummed in agreement and said, "I will stay here with her until Mom and Dad wake up and I will take them back to Nancheng for recuperation."
"Alright, looks like you don't need me." Qin Ye raised his hands and stretched. "I haven't eaten yet since I got here. Have you guys eaten?"
Chu Muchao looked at Chu Wen.
Chu Wen turned his head: "Have you eaten?"
Chu Muchao shook his head: "No, I'm hungry."
Chu Wen straightened his head: "Let's eat together."
The butler immediately said, "Miss, Young Master Wen, Young Master Qin, please go and eat. We'll take care of things at the hospital, so don't worry."
The aunt said, "I'll stay here tonight to take care of you, Miss. You've had a long day, so please get some rest tonight."
Chu Muchao nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work. If anything unusual happens in the middle of the night, call me immediately."
"Yes, Miss."
-
After dinner.
Qin Ye asked about Chu Muchao's residence.
Chu Muchao suggested a nearby hotel, and Qin Ye immediately said, "Coincidentally, I also booked this hotel. Let's go together."
Chu Wen's cold gaze swept across his face.
This is the only hotel nearby, close to the hospital, and with the best environment and facilities.
Anyone with a brain could guess that they would stay at this hotel.
The three walked to the hotel.
When taking the elevator, only Chu Muchao swiped his floor card.
Chu Muchao raised his eyes and looked at the two of them.
It seems like they're arguing about something.
After dinner, all she wanted to do was go back to her room to rest and go to the hospital early tomorrow.
Let those two do whatever they want.
They've been childhood sweethearts since they were little, so it's unlikely they'd actually fight.
Upon reaching her floor, Chu Muchao stepped out of the elevator first.
"I'm going back to my room to rest. You should all go back and rest early too. Good night."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Chu Wen glanced at Qin Ye, then followed him.
Qin Ye quickly stepped out of the elevator and asked, "Are you on this floor too?"
Chu Wen followed Chu Muchao's gaze closely and said, "You've already seen it, she's mine now."
Qin Ye scoffed, "I already said I'm just worried about her. My aunt and uncle had an accident, and they've been so good to me. I couldn't possibly be indifferent, could I? Chu Wen, isn't your possessiveness a little too strong?"
"You'd better be."
Seeing that Chu Muchao had already entered the room, Chu Wen walked to the door of his own room, stopped, and coldly glanced at Qin Ye.
"Chaochao said she wanted to treat you to a meal to tell you the good news that we're together. We had the meal today, so from now on, stay away from her."
"……Oh."
Qin Ye didn't say anything, patted Chu Wen on the shoulder, and took a few steps back.
He had also booked a room on this floor, but it was clearly too late.
*
The news of Chu Jianghe and Yan Ke's car accident made the news, and Chu Muchao rushed to Haicheng overnight.
The next day, the president's two secretaries also left.
A small disturbance occurred within the company.
From who knows where, a rumor spread that "Chu Wen intended to murder his adoptive parents to seize the inheritance rights."
As time went on, the rumors became increasingly outrageous.
