Chapter 244 - Chapter 244 244 Why should he know

Chapter 244: 244 Why should he know? Chapter 244: 244 Why should he know? Luo Xiyun came out after washing up and politely greeted “Uncle” and “Auntie”. Zeng Wenli took her hand and said to Chen Xu, “Xiao Xu, we really owe a lot to Xiyun this time. She specifically arranged for someone to drive us here and took care of you bustling here and there–she’s been wonderful to you. You really ought to treat her well. Otherwise, I won’t agree.”

Chen Xu looked at Luo Xiyun and said, “I understand, Mom. I will treat her well.”

Luo Xiyun was slightly shy and murmured, “Auntie, I only did what I should do.”

“You aren’t even married; there’s nothing you ‘should’ do,” Zeng Wenli said. “In the future, if this boy bullies you, just call your auntie, and I’ll stand up for you.”

Chen Xu could tell Luo Xiyun was a bit uncomfortable with his mom’s enthusiasm and asked, “Mom, have you had breakfast yet?”

“Not yet. Are you hungry? I’ll go out and buy some porridge for you,” Zeng Wenli said, about to stand up.

“No need, Auntie,” Luo Xiyun pulled her back and said, “Secretary Guo should have already gone to buy some.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than Secretary Guo came in carrying both big and small bags, filled with all sorts of food–porridge, noodles, soy milk, fried dough sticks, and also buns.

Zeng Wenli praised, “Xiyun has arranged everything so thoughtfully. It’s just a bit too much; we might not be able to finish it all.”

Chen Xinwen stuffed half a bun into her hand and said, “If we can’t finish, we can keep it for later.”

Zeng Wenli stopped talking and focused on eating.

“Secretary Guo, please sit down and eat with us,” Chen Xu said.

Secretary Guo replied, “No need, I have to go back to the company.”

Chen Xu couldn’t help but glance at Luo Xiyun.

She had already picked up a bowl, scooped some porridge with a disposable spoon, blew on it twice, and fed him, saying, “I’ve taken the day off; I’m not going to the office today.”

“I can feed myself,” Chen Xu said, slightly self-conscious in front of his parents, and took the bowl from her hand.

Luo Xiyun didn’t press him but gently advised, “You’ve just woken up; it’s better to eat something light. Avoid the fried dough sticks.”

Chen Xinwen and Zeng Wenli looked on, their expressions growing more and more satisfied.

…

After breakfast, Chen Xinwen and Zeng Wenli didn’t stay at the hospital. They wanted to take a walk and left.

Chen Xu knew that they wanted to give him and Luo Xiyun some space to themselves, and he didn’t mention it, only gave them the rental’s key and sent the address to his mom’s WeChat, asking them to stay there in the evening.

He knew his parents were usually frugal and staying in a hotel might make them uncomfortable.

Not long after they left, Chen Xu felt sleepy again and quickly fell asleep. This sleep wasn’t restful, as he seemed to be dreaming throughout, but he didn’t recall what it was about.

When he woke up, it was already noon. As he opened his eyes, sitting there was Secretary Jin.

“You’re up,” Secretary Jin was sending a message on her phone, and seeing him awake, she put her phone away.

“Where’s Xiyun?” Chen Xu asked.

“She went back to get some stuff,” she said as she stood up and poured him a cup of water from a thermos.

“Thank you,” Chen Xu, indeed thirsty, took it and began to drink, then listened to her say, “Yesterday, before you woke up, Mr. Yang came over.”

He almost choked on the water, “Mr. Yang?”

“Jinxiu Group’s Mr. Yang,” Secretary Jin did not mention her by name.

Chen Xu was surprised, put down the cup in his hand, and asked, “What did she want?”

“She said she wanted to transfer you to another hospital. Mr. Luo disagreed.”

Chen Xu felt like his head was going to explode. Since he was still at this hospital, it was clear Yang Jinxia hadn’t achieved her goal. Just thinking about it, perhaps imagining the arguing, gave him a headache. After a moment, he asked, “What happened then?”

“Mr. Luo’s father showed up.”

Zhenghai, what’s he doing in the mix?

Chen Xu couldn’t imagine how things would develop and asked, “Then what happened?”

“Your parents just happened to arrive, and Mr. Luo left immediately. Mr. Yang didn’t bring up the matter of transferring you to another hospital again.”

So it was his mom and dad who had resolved the situation.

He felt very fortunate, thankful that nothing serious had happened.

On the other hand, since he had woken up, Luo Xiyun hadn’t mentioned the matter either, so it probably wasn’t very serious.

“There’s another thing,” Secretary Jin continued, “Last night, when I was sending Mr. Yang off, your phone received a video call invitation from a contact nicknamed ’11.'”

Chen Xu then remembered that he had arranged to contact Bai Jinxuan last night and asked anxiously, “You didn’t answer it, did you?”

“No. The caller soon cancelled and sent a message instead.”

Secretary Jin continued apologetically, “I thought, since it was so late and a video call, it must be from an important friend of yours, so I took the liberty to use your fingerprint to unlock it.”

Chen Xu frowned slightly. This secretary was excellent in every aspect: capable and responsible. The only dissatisfaction he had was her sometimes overly responsible nature, which meant she meddled too much in his personal life.

However, recalling what Luo Xiyun had told him that Secretary Jin was the first to find him unconscious at home, and if it weren’t for her responsibility, he wouldn’t have been taken to the hospital so swiftly.

Regardless, she truly was an extremely diligent secretary.

Thinking this, he decided not to pursue the matter and simply asked, “What did she say?”

“She asked if you were busy. Not knowing when you would wake up and worried she might be concerned, I told her you were ill and hospitalized. She also asked at which hospital you were, and I told her that too. Thinking about it afterward, I realized I had taken too much liberty. I’m really sorry. I’ll be more careful in the future.”

Seeing her bowing her head in apology, Chen Xu pinched the bridge of his nose and said, “Don’t let it happen again.”

“Thank you,” Secretary Jin sighed with relief and continued, “Later, this friend of yours rushed over…”

“Hold on.”

As soon as Chen Xu heard this, he felt a tingling scalp. “You mean she came to the hospital to see me?”

“Yes, but she wore sunglasses and a mask, so I couldn’t see what she looked like,” said Secretary Jin. This was a strategic self-preservation; some things, even if guessed, should appear as if unknown to the boss.

Chen Xu was relieved to hear this; it was good that no one had seen her face. Then he worried, “She didn’t bump into Xiyun, did she?”

“No, Mr. Luo was just taking your parents to the hotel at that time, and wasn’t at the hospital.”

That was a relief.

Chen Xu was truly sweating it out; last night had been too dangerous. If the three women had encountered each other, he couldn’t even begin to imagine the scene.

No, she must not come again.

With that thought, he asked, “Where is my phone?”

Secretary Jin took his phone from the bedside cabinet and handed it to him. It was a spot she placed it when she came earlier. Then, she said, “I’ll go to the restroom,” and turned to leave.

Chen Xu, not minding her, took the phone and sent Bai Jinxuan a WeChat message, letting her know that he had woken up and that she should not worry.

…

In the headquarters office of Jinxiu Investment Group, Yang Jinxia sat at her desk, eating lunch while browsing a document, accompanied by her driver, Sister Lin.

Sister Lin hesitated, then asked, “Aren’t you going to see him?”

Yang Jinxia put down her chopsticks and pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth, saying “No.”

Sister Lin seemed puzzled. “You clearly care so much about him, why not see him at this time?”

“He’s awake now, which means it’s nothing serious. Moreover, at this time, what he needs is rest. If I were to go, wouldn’t I just be disturbing his rest? Better not to go,” Yang Jinxia said, returning to her document.

Sister Lin grew anxious and said, “I just feel it’s not fair to you. You’ve been so good to him, done so much for him, and yet he knows nothing of it…”

“Why should he know?” Yang Jinxia shifted her gaze from the document, looking at her, and said, “I don’t need his gratitude. I just hope he takes fewer detours, stays healthy and free from calamities. That’s enough for me. I will be with him in my dreams.”

Listening to her, Sister Lin almost teared up.
