The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 51 - 51 49 Ye Chen Awakens

51: Chapter 49: Ye Chen Awakens 51: Chapter 49: Ye Chen Awakens Jianghuai City Armed Forces Hospital.

Haozi and Da Xia had been waiting all night, and early in the morning, Ye Chen still showed no signs of waking up.

The two were so anxious that they were running around frantically.

During that time, Haozi had dragged Director Qian to the scene several times, but facing such a situation, Director Qian expressed his helplessness.

After all, the patient’s bodily signs were all normal and his lung function seemed fine too.

“Hey, can you two calm down for a moment?

The patient’s condition is stable and there’s no sign of lung infection.

He should wake up in a couple of hours!” Director Qian was quite helpless.

His work had been interrupted several times by these two, and if Ye Chen didn’t wake up soon, he figured these two might tear down the hospital.

He quickly comforted them, “Just sit for a while longer!”

“Sit, what do you mean sit!” Haozi snapped angrily at Director Qian, saying, “We’ve been sitting all night already.

If we keep sitting we might as well turn into fossils.

No, you need to wake my big brother up now, or I’m not letting this go!”

Cough cough…

While the two were arguing incessantly, Ye Chen suddenly started coughing violently, coughing up a mouthful of black blood.

Da Xia was startled and quickly helped Ye Chen, who was slowly opening his eyes, sit up.

He asked with concern, “Brother, are you alright?”

“I’m fine!” Ye Chen shook his head and asked, “Why… why am I in the hospital?”

“Hey, brother, you got shot!” Seeing Ye Chen awake, Haozi stopped pestering Director Qian and rushed to Ye Chen’s side, exclaiming, “Bro, you’ve been asleep for a whole day and night.

How are you feeling now?

Better?”

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and his mind immediately recalled the incident during the opening ceremony of Jiangnan No.1.

Memories flooded back.

He nodded and quickly asked, “What happened to the assassin?”

“Oh, I took care of him!” Haozi chuckled and said, “The guy had some skills, but not enough to match me.

Took me just a few moves to finish him off!”

“Why didn’t you capture him alive?” Ye Chen frowned.

“Capture him alive?

There’s no use keeping someone like that!” Haozi shook his head, saying, “Better to just finish him off.

That bastard dared to attack you, boss.

Hmph, I let him off easy by just killing him!”

“How’s Mr.

Li doing?

She didn’t get hurt, did she?” Ye Chen quickly asked.

In fact, he was very concerned about Li Ruo’s condition, plus he didn’t know if there were any other assassins at the scene.

If there were, Li Ruo could be in danger.

Da Xia, who was beside him, looked at Ye Chen and said discontentedly, “Brother, she’s fine, but did you really have to take a bullet for her?

Seriously, you are worth more than she is!”

“Exactly, what would me and Da Xia do if something happened to you?” Haozi was also very displeased.

“Nonsense!” Ye Chen glared at them irritably, wiped the black blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, “Li Ruo, as the president of Tianya Group, is dignified and worth billions.

What are we in comparison!”

Whoosh…

After Ye Chen woke up, Director Qian quickly notified the nurses to re-examine him.

The nurses and Director Qian’s assistant crowded in, each carefully checking the data on the various machines, then discussing it together.

The final conclusion was that Ye Chen had no further issues, now just waiting for his body to recover.

“Mr.

Ye, congratulations!” Although Director Qian was not sure about Ye Chen’s relationship with Zhang Yantong, the fact that Zhang Yantong’s father was Provincial Party Secretary gave him enough reason to show extra respect to Ye Chen.

“Thank you, Doctor!” Ye Chen chuckled.

Li Ruo and Zhang Yantong almost received the news of Ye Chen’s awakening at the same time.

Li Ruo dropped her work almost immediately and hurried towards the Armed Forces Hospital because Ye Chen had been wounded for her.

Inside, she was racked with guilt.

Accompanied by Lin Ziwen and Vice Captain Jin along with several bodyguards, she rushed to the hospital.

Zhang Yantong happened to be on a patrol mission when Director Qian notified her first.

Without a second thought, she turned her police car around and headed for the hospital.

Zhang Yantong pressed on the gas, speeding quickly, making Fang Qin beside her almost incredulous – since when would Captain Zhang care so much about a man?

Li Ruo’s limousine stopped directly in front of the hospital.

Jin Guoyou quickly had the bodyguards that followed check the surroundings.

The situation was critical, and Li Ruo’s safety was of utmost importance.

Any harm coming to Li Ruo now would end his career.

Li Ruo stepped out of the car, didn’t pause for a second, and turned to enter the elevator.

She hurried towards the ward floors and then toward Ye Chen’s room.

Ye Chen was leaning against the bed headboard and from afar heard the noise of Li Ruo’s high heels.

His gaze fixed straight towards the door.

Li Ruo pushed open the door, her eyes filled with anxiety as she looked at Ye Chen, her expression loaded with concern.

Ye Chen was taken aback, not expecting Li Ruo to care about him so intensely.

He was slightly moved inside but quickly regained his composure.

“Mr.

Li, you’re here?” Ye Chen smiled, revealing teeth stained with blood, giving his smile a somewhat horrifying appearance.

“You…

you’re awake!” Li Ruo didn’t know what to say and could only utter such bland statements.

She looked around the room and immediately noticed Qian Wanke.

She hurried over and asked, “Director Qian, how is the patient’s condition?”

At that moment, Qian Wanke was documenting Ye Chen’s current status.

He glanced at Li Ruo and said, “Hehe, Mr.

Li, rest assured, Mr.

Ye is fine, everything is normal.

He can be discharged from the hospital after some observation as long as the bullet didn’t remain inside his body, so the situation isn’t severe!”

“That’s good!” Li Ruo nodded, visibly relieved, and turned to sit on Ye Chen’s hospital bed.

She focused her gaze on Ye Chen and said, “Just focus on healing!”

“Hehe, actually, I don’t even need to heal!” Ye Chen grinned, saying, “With Mr.

Li’s concern, my wounds…

my wounds have already healed by half!”

Li Ruo blushed but internally scoffed.

This guy, always smooth-talking, who knows what he’s thinking all day.

A gust of wind blew through the window, and Li Ruo’s long hair got tousled.

She casually used her pinky to brush the hair off her forehead, a gesture so pure and lovely like a lily in a secluded valley.

Ye Chen was utterly captivated.

“Dummy, what are you looking at!” Li Ruo glared at him.

“Hehe!” Ye Chen’s face turned a slight red as he said, “Mr.

Li, you are too beautiful!”

That comment immediately extinguished the light in Li Ruo’s face, wiping away any bit of goodwill she had for Ye Chen.

In her eyes, men always felt stirred when they saw a beautiful woman, and their flattery was just a foundation for their next move.

At least, that’s what Li Ruo thought.

Men’s sweet words were always a prelude to getting a woman into bed.

Li Ruo gave Ye Chen a cold look, seeing him as no different from those slick, deceitful men.

“Hmph!” Li Ruo snorted, saying, “Since you’re injured, you better stay in the hospital longer.

The company will cover the medical expenses; you don’t have to worry about the money!”

“This…” Ye Chen was taken aback, not understanding why she had suddenly turned as cold as frost after being a blooming flower moments ago.

Damn it, can a woman’s mind really be so unfathomable?

Ye Chen thought silently, awkwardly saying, “Then…

thank you, Mr.

Li!”

“Alright, rest up.

I’m heading back to the company!” Li Ruo turned away coldly, her mind in turmoil.

As she turned, tears fell from her eyes.

Why did that sentence sound so painfully familiar?

Could it be that she hasn’t yet forgotten that painful memory?

Ah Ruo, you really are so beautiful!

That sentence would forever be a pain in Li Ruo’s heart, a reminder of that man’s betrayal she would never forget.

Since returning from the US, she had decided to bury everything about that man deep within her heart, determined not to reminisce.

Yet, Ye Chen’s words had unexpectedly unsealed that bitter past, and the pain gushed out like a breached dam.

Thud, thud, thud…

Li Ruo’s footsteps hastened as she left.

Ye Chen listened with some surprise, discerning something amiss in her hurried steps.

However, he couldn’t understand why Li Ruo had changed so suddenly.

It hadn’t been long since Li Ruo left when Zhang Yantong came rushing in.

“You’re awake?” Zhang Yantong was delighted to see Ye Chen.

She had already consulted with Qian Wanke in his office about Ye Chen’s condition, so she knew his health wasn’t in grave danger and that he just needed some restorative care.

She placed a basket of fruits on the table, saying cheerfully, “Looks like you’re not that popular, huh?

No one else has even brought you a gift; I’m the first!”

“Who says?” Ye Chen wore a playful smile, looking at Zhang Yantong and said, “Within a minute, someone will come to see me!”

“Cut it out, stop bragging!” Zhang Yantong pouted.

She didn’t believe a word Ye Chen said.

If someone was coming to visit, they would have already been here.

Besides, Ye Chen was right in front of her; how could he possibly know someone would come in a minute unless he was some sort of divine calculator?

Thus, she didn’t take his words seriously.

However, the next moment, Zhang Yantong’s mouth dropped open, forming a perfect ‘O’ as Ye Chen waved to Haozi, saying, “Haozi, open the door.

Let’s see who’s come to visit me!”

“Alrighty!” Haozi quickly jumped off his chair and pushed the door open.
