Chapter 241 - Chapter 241 241 Im going to see him

Chapter 241: 241 I’m going to see him Chapter 241: 241 I’m going to see him The night had grown deep, and only the lamp by the bed was lit, its thick curtains tightly drawn across the window without a sliver of a gap.

From the speakers on either side of the bed, a slow prelude played faintly. The sound of dripping water came from the direction of the bathroom, clearly someone was taking a shower.

After a while, the sound of the water from the bathroom stopped, and the door opened. Bai Jinxuan, wrapped in a white bathrobe, emerged with her hair still wet.

A towel, used for drying her hair, rested on her shoulder as she walked directly to the bed, picked up the mobile phone on the pillow, and unlocked it to see, a hint of disappointment crossing her flushed face, “Why hasn’t he replied to my message?”

She and Chen Xu would video chat every few days, always arranging it in advance. If there was a sudden issue or inconvenience that required canceling, they would agree on it beforehand.

Just now, when the agreed-upon time came, she sent a video invitation his way, but Chen Xu didn’t pick up. After waiting about ten seconds, she cancelled it, worried he might be indisposed just then.

Some time passed and she sent him a WeChat message, asking if it was a bad time for him.

Still no reply.

She waited a while longer, then decided to take a shower first. Now, out of the shower and still without a reply, worry began to creep into her heart. She thought to herself, “Could something have happened?”

She was looking down at her phone, and droplets of water from her still-damp hair fell and dotted the screen.

“Ah.”

Quickly, she pulled a tissue from the nightstand, wiping the water off the phone screen, then walked to the mirror. She placed the phone on the dressing table and used the towel to dry her hair.

Then, picking up the hairdryer, she began to dry her hair, her eyes involuntarily glancing towards the phone. Shaking her head, she muttered to herself, “He must be dealing with some emergency. I shouldn’t disturb him.”

As she was thinking this, the phone on the table vibrated slightly, and the screen lit up.

She quickly turned off the hairdryer, picked up the phone, and saw it was a message from him. As she read it closely, the joy on her face solidified, slowly turning into concern.

The WeChat message wasn’t from Chen Xu but from his assistant, explaining that Chen Xu had fallen ill and was currently unable to contact her.

“I knew something had happened.”

She felt a tightness in her chest; the message was very brief and didn’t state what illness it was, but she knew it couldn’t be a minor sickness like a cold or a fever, otherwise, he wouldn’t have had his assistant reply on his behalf.

Given Chen Xu’s personality, he would never let anyone else know about his personal matters.

“Something serious must have happened, could it be…”

In an instant, words like car accident and emergency flashed through her mind, and her face turned deathly pale. She picked up the phone and typed, “Has he had some kind of accident? Is it severe? Is his life in danger?”

After sending the message, she held the phone to her chest, praying fervently, “Please, let nothing be wrong.”

After a while, the other party replied, “It’s not that serious. The doctor said he just collapsed from overwork and should be fine after a few days of rest.”

“Thank heavens.”

She let out a sigh of relief, and with the emotional rollercoaster she’d been through, she wished she could fly to his side. After thinking for a moment, she picked up her phone and sent another WeChat message, “Has he been hospitalized? Which hospital is he in?”

This time, it took several minutes for the other party to reply with the name of the hospital and the room and bed number.

“He really is hospitalized.”

She stood up, her expression changing several times before she seemed to come to a decision. Picking up the phone, she dialed a number, “Fangfang, arrange a car for me.”

……

Half an hour later, Fangfang pushed the door and walked in, only to see Bai Jinxuan already dressed, wearing sunglasses and a hat, and holding a face mask in her hand, ready to go out at any moment.

Fangfang looked at her with some difficulty and persuaded, “Your new song will be online in two days, and this is a critical period for shaping your image–”

“He’s been hospitalized, I need to see him,” Bai Jinxuan said while putting on the face mask and walking towards the door.

Fangfang couldn’t help but sigh. Knowing she couldn’t be persuaded, she didn’t waste her breath and followed her out.

To avoid drawing attention, Fangfang this time used a different car, registered under the name of Bai Jinxuan’s mother, which wouldn’t attract notice. It was already midnight, so there probably wouldn’t be any paparazzi waiting outside the residential complex.

On this trip, it was just the two of them. Fangfang was driving, and Bai Jinxuan sat in the back seat. There were fewer cars around at dawn. Fangfang was extremely cautious, constantly on the lookout for any suspicious cars following them.

Upon reaching the hospital and parking the car, Bai Jinxuan adjusted her face mask and said, “I can go by myself, just wait for me here in the car.”

“But…” Fangfang became anxious when she heard this.

“No buts, this is a hospital, there won’t be any reporters. I’ll be back soon,” she said, opening the car door, getting out, and running towards the inpatient department.

When entering the hospital, Fangfang had already asked for the location of the inpatient department.

Fangfang also opened the car door and got out, following behind. No matter what, she couldn’t let Bai Jinxuan out of her sight; otherwise, if anything happened, she wouldn’t be able to explain.

……

Secretary Jin had sent Bai Jinxuan the name of the hospital, the room number, and the bed, and also reminded her that someone was taking care of Chen Xu. Then, she deleted the chat history.

After thinking about it, she put her phone back in her bag, just in case “he” sent another message that Luo Xiyun would see and become suspicious.

In her view, solving the boss’s personal troubles was also part of the job.

Previously, she had gained the reliance of her former boss and became his most important secretary, not just because of her excellent work performance.

Her former boss, too, kept a mistress on the side, something very few people knew. On occasions like Valentine’s Day and other significant dates, it was her responsibility to pick out and deliver gifts.

She despised such behavior as well, but work was work, and competition in the workplace was fierce. She knew that only by performing better could she secure her position. Thus, she kept a clear line between business and personal matters.

Of course, she had her limits. The reason she left her previous job and boss to follow Luo Xiyun, who was just starting work, was because she couldn’t accept certain behaviors of her former boss.

After deciding to follow Chen Xu, she initially didn’t intend to involve herself too much in his life and positioned herself as an assistant.

However, she couldn’t ignore this situation. The emotional entanglement between Chen Xu, Luo Xiyun, and Yang Jinxia was already headache-inducing. The statuses of these two women, each more formidable than the other, were not exaggerated to say that if they turned against each other out of love and hate, it would only take minutes to destroy Chen Xu’s career.

Now, between Luo Xiyun and Yang Jinxia, tensions were high, even Luo Zhenghai had stepped in. If it weren’t for Chen Xu’s parents arriving in time, these two powerhouses might have directly clashed. It was hard to predict what could happen then.

She still felt a tremor in her heart at the thought of that scene.

If Bai Jinxuan were to appear at this moment…

She could hardly imagine.

For the sake of Chen Xu’s career, and equally, for the sake of her own career, she had to appease the other party.

She didn’t know Bai Jinxuan at all, but she had experience. Coincidentally, her former boss’s mistress was a small-time celebrity. She was no pushover–if she didn’t get what her former boss promised, she would relentlessly make a fuss.

In her opinion, with Bai Jinxuan’s popularity so high, her temperament must be even greater. Therefore, she directly informed her of Chen Xu’s current situation to prevent her from causing a scene.

It wasn’t until forty minutes later, when she saw a woman wearing sunglasses and a face mask walk in and approach the hospital bed, that she realized her judgment had been wrong.
