Mr.President, Let's Get a Divorce
Chapter 276 - 279 Her Notebook

Chapter 276: 279 Her Notebook

"A relationship, if you knew it was destined to end in tragedy, would you still love?"

She asked Wen Nian.

Wen Nian was momentarily stumped by the question.

Tang Xiaohua let go of Wen Nian’s hand, took a step back, and raised her head; she concealed all her agitation and complicated emotions and said indifferently,

"I wouldn’t."

"..."

"So, if Your Excellency truly can’t treat me as a Tang Xiaohua with whom you have no entanglements, then please seek someone more capable. I’m not qualified for the role of a personal guard. Regarding your safety, please consider this carefully."

Tang Xiaohua looked at him with seriousness.

Wen Nian also looked at her, observing her forced strangership.

After a long while, he said,

"The guest room next door has been arranged for your rest."

"..."

Tang Xiaohua frowned; even after what had been said, Wen Nian still wanted her to be his personal guard?

"I have never used a personal guard before because I have had no one I could trust to be by my side twenty-four hours a day, within five meters of me."

Wen Nian sat down on the edge of the bed,

"I can’t find someone to replace you just yet."

Tang Xiaohua pursed her lips.

"Go rest. I will consider what you’ve said. For now, I’d still hope that you can fulfill your duties."

After Wen Nian finished speaking, Tang Xiaohua nodded slightly and then left. She didn’t notice Wen Nian’s reddening face...

The door closed, Wen Nian leaned on the bed, turned off the light, and the red hibiscus on the ceiling became unclear, and the skylight above was nothing but darkness. Wen Nian only felt his eyelids burning and his head throbbing.

Actually, ever since the flight back from Dongheng, he had not been feeling well but had said nothing.

Rather than caring about his body, he was more eager to seize this opportunity to have a good talk with Lili, but he didn’t expect the conversation that day to fail.

Although he was dizzy, Wen Nian’s thoughts were anything but blank...

In a blurry haze, the words once said by Song Lili that had baffled him crept back in...

"I had a nightmare, where, in it, you killed me."

"Wen Nian, let’s divorce. Maybe... maybe our decision to get married was really too hasty."

"All love and hatred across past and present lives..."

"Three years ago might have been okay, but what about ten years later?"

"If it’s destined to end in tragedy..."

...

These strange, ambiguous words and phrases combined gave him the feeling... that she had already lived through everything once.

It all began with a nightmare she had; everything changed from that point.

Her naive and lively character, originally so easy to fathom, became uncontrollable after that dream.

The headache... an excruciating pain...

"..."

"How high is the fever?"

"Thirty-nine point two degrees."

Wen Nian vaguely heard someone talking beside him...

"Tang Xiaohua, didn’t you notice something was off with His Excellency when you left last night?"

Qu Yu looked at Tang Xiaohua, questioning perplexedly.

Tang Xiaohua stood aside, her entire face nearly twisted up; she shook her head, "I’m sorry, I... didn’t... notice..."

Qu Yu took a deep breath and let out a long sigh, the disappointment in his sigh was unmistakable.

Tang Xiaohua looked at Wen Nian, who lay in bed, his handsome face burning red, breathing weakly.

She really hadn’t expected that after... last night, when she entered the room again this morning, he had already become so ill, leaving her unsure about how to face him in that moment.

Annoyance!

And it wasn’t just now.

Hadn’t she always been unclear about the most rational and appropriate attitude to adopt towards him?

"Dr. Ge, how is it? Does he need to be transferred to a hospital?"

Dr. Ge was the President’s personal doctor, not too old at just over forty, but already a professor-level physician.

He put away his equipment and said,

"It’s inflammation caused by the wound, coupled with His Excellency’s continuous exertions yesterday, which led to extreme fatigue and then to falling ill. Measure the temperature every half hour; as long as it can come down, there will be no problem."

Dr. Ge adjusted the IV drip for Wen Nian, packed up his medical kit, and said to Qu Yu,

"Your Excellency, it would be best for you to rest well today. No matter how young you are, you should not abuse your body like this."

"Yes, I understand."

"Furthermore, someone must be beside you at all times in case anything happens, so they can inform me immediately."

Dr. Ge gave this particular instruction a little more emphasis.

"Alright."

After Qu Yu responded, he turned to Tang Xiaohua,

"Xiao Hua, could you take care of His Excellency?"

Tang Xiaohua pressed her lips tightly together, then nodded, "I understand."

Qu Yu escorted Dr. Ge out. Normally, Dr. Ge would have stayed at the President Mansion to attend to the President until his fever subsided, but today coincidentally was also the day for the regular check-up of the Wen Family’s old master.

After thinking it over, Qu Yu decided to let Dr. Ge attend to his own duties.

After all, His Excellency’s fever wouldn’t abate immediately; someone else could take over the care...

Moreover, Qu Yu believed that, compared to Dr. Ge watching over him, His Excellency would probably prefer to see Tang Xiaohua’s figure upon waking up!

...

Tang Xiaohua stayed in the master bedroom to take care of Wen Nian, checking his temperature every half hour and moistening his dry lips with a cotton swab dipped in water.

She truly felt a chilly malevolence from Qu Yu!

She had never met anyone who loved to meddle in other people’s business as much as Qu Yu – even a blind man could see that he was trying to match her with Wen Nian!

She sighed and glanced at the thermometer, thirty-eight point six...

The temperature had dropped, and she too, let out a sigh of relief.

Sitting on the sofa nearby, she felt somewhat idle and hesitated before pulling out a small notebook from her own bosom.

The notebook was a thin, hardcover, with a waterproof film over the hard surface, appearing quite ordinary, but seemingly very durable.

Tucked into the notebook was a telescopic pen.

She opened this notebook...

This was the notebook she had started using after her rebirth, which contained records of some significant events during the thirteen years she had missed in her previous life.

It was a second life for her, but evidently, the heavens hadn’t blessed her with any sort of miraculous abilities.

Time passed swiftly, and her memory was limited. Fragments of recollections she managed to recall were all noted down.

Mostly, they were major domestic and international incidents, influential events, and occurrences that could impact this life of hers.

She could graduate from Xilin as top of her class and even from the German Louis College with honors in every subject...

She had to admit, a part of that was due to relying on knowledge and information from her previous life – it was a kind of cheating, really.

Yesterday’s earthquake made her realize that she could do more, and not just for herself...

If she could record the major disasters she remembered and evacuate people before they struck, the losses from those disasters would certainly be much less...

"What are you looking at?"

When Qu Yu came in, he saw Tang Xiaohua sitting on the sofa, seriously looking at something... so he asked.
