章 21: Chapter 21 She Has Occupied His Heart
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Ah Qing watched Yun Yiyi drive into the underground car park in Hua Corporation, he drove away. However, contrary to what Yun Yiyi thought, he did not drive to the majestic building of Fei Corporation. Instead, he drove to a hospital.
Since the hospital was also a subsidiary of Fei Corporation, the members of the Fei family, naturally, received VIP treatment here.
When Ah Qing drew close to one of the wards, he saw a nurse walking out. He asked worriedly, "How is he?"
The nurse replied, "This is his third IV drip. The doctor will speak to you after this."
After knocking on the door, Ah Qing entered the ward and saw a pale Fei Mo. It was already Fei Mo's third IV drip, but he still looked unwell. Upon seeing this, he grew even more worried. "Eldest young master, I'm not trying to nag, but you have to know your stomach really can't handle spicy food. Accompanying young madam to eat spicy hotpot will only cause your acute gastritis to flare up. You can't disregard your health just like that…"
Ah Qing had sent Fei Mo to the company in the morning. However, as soon as they arrived at the company, Fei Mo had fainted. He hurriedly sent Fei Mo to the hospital. After they arrived at the hospital, Fei Mo did not forget to order him to send Yun Yiyi to work. He could not help but feel distressed when he saw the pained expression on Fei Mo's face.
Although Fei Mo was hospitalized, he had no intention of staying idle. His laptop was placed on the table in front of his bed. Since he was receiving the IV drip on his left hand, he was busily typing away with his right hand. A trace of exhaustion could be seen on his handsome face at this moment.
After a while, Fei Mo looked at Ah Qing and asked expressionlessly, "You didn't tell her I'm sick, right?"
"Yes, young madam doesn't know."
After that, the two of them fell silent.
Despite the unhealthy pallor of Fei Mo's face, his eyes were staring intently at the laptop screen while his finger typed rapidly on the keyboard.
Ah Qing mustered up his courage and said, "Young master, I think it's not a bad idea to let young madam know about your condition..."
"No need..."
Ah Qing protested weakly. "But, young master, young madam is your wife now. It's only normal for her to know these things about you..."
Fei Mo's fingertips paused slightly. He looked at Ah Qing pointedly. "She doesn't need to know these things…" Uncle Zhao had said the same words to him, and his answer was still the same.
"Young master..."
"One word about this to young madam, you longer have to stay by my side. I've said the same thing to Uncle Zhao as well!"
Ah Qing pursed his lips tightly. He no longer dared to speak.
The ward was silent now save for the sound of Fei Mo typing on the keyboard.
After a moment, Fei Mo paused. In the past, he had never once been distracted when he was working. He had always been efficient and highly focused. Even on the day he first Yun Yiyi, he had been completely engrossed in his work even though he could keenly feel Yun Yiyi's gaze on him. However, when Ah Qing mentioned Yun Yiyi earlier, his emotions were thrown into chaos.
He found his mind was filled with thoughts of Yun Yiyi. He shook his head, trying to dismiss the distracting thoughts. Alas, it was futile. She seemed to have taken root in his heart, and her gentle smile kept appearing in his mind. Just thinking about her smile seemed to comfort him. Even the discomfort he felt was slightly alleviated. He sighed, resigned to this state.
With Yun Yiyi in mind, his voice seemed gentler when he said to Ah Qing, "Pick her up from work in the evening… Come back tomorrow at 7 am and send me to the company."
Ah Qing knew Fei Mo would have to stay the night at the hospital so he said, "Young master, young madam drove to work today. Why don't I stay here to accompany you?"
"She drove?" Fei Mo frowned slightly. He paused for a moment before he said, "Even if she's driving, you should still go to her company. After all, she doesn't know the way home."
Ah Qing could only acquiesce. "Yes, young master." How could Yun Yiyi not be able to find the way home? She could easily use the navigation system, after all. He knew his young master was just being considerate to the young madam.
"Inform Uncle Zhao that I'm sick."
"Yes."
After Ah Qing left, Fei Mo picked up his mobile phone and looked at Yun Yiyi's phone number with a hint of hesitation. He really wanted to hear her voice at this moment.
In the end, he placed his mobile phone on the table and did not make the call.
He did not continue working. Instead, he lay on the hospital bed and looked at the white ceiling, clearly exhausted.
Ever since he had taken over Fei Corporation, he had been devoted to his work. Fei Corporation reached its height today all thanks to his many years of hard work. Even when he fell sick, he did not have the habit of informing his family since he did not want his family to worry about him. Over the years, he had gotten used to enduring it alone.
After a long time had passed, he still could not get Yun Yiyi out of his mind.
...
Meanwhile, Yun Yiyi who was at the used car dealer was unaware of the consequences of her suggesting to eat spicy hotpot.
At this moment, she was glaring at the manager. She said furiously, "What do you mean? We just agreed on a price, and now you're saying you won't buy my car?"
The manager looked at Yun Yiyi apologetically and said. "Miss Yun, I'm really sorry. I can't buy your car for the time being."
"Sorry? You wasted two hours of my time, and now, you're telling me you're sorry?"
"Miss Yun, I'm really sorry. It's my fault for wasting your time. I'm sorry."
Yun Yiyi looked at the humble manager angrily. In the end, she no longer said anything. She turned around and walked out of the door. Since it was clear they would not buy her car, it was a waste of her time to spend any more time here. Her time was better spent looking for another used car dealership.
Unfortunately, being rejected from the used car dealership in Jia Yuan was just the tip of the iceberg. She spent the entire afternoon running from one used car dealership to another, but none of them wanted to buy her car. She was rejected for all sorts of reasons.
Yun Yiyi was baffled. The mileage of her car was only 25,000 kilometers after three years. Moreover, it was very well maintained. Why was it that no one wanted to buy it? Was today an unlucky day for selling cars?
Her terrible mood grew even darker. She was in a hurry to sell the car since she knew the prices of cars depreciated day by day. The longer it took her to sell the car, the lower the price of the car would become. She had to sell the car as soon as possible.
…
Meanwhile, the black Land Rover that had been tailing Yun Yiyi the entire afternoon was parked in an inconspicuous spot.
A thoughtful expression appeared on Gu Jingyan's face when he saw how anxious Yun Yiyi was.
He had deliberately pulled strings so she would not be able to sell her car, and now, it was time for him to show himself and be the hero to save the day.
He was about to open the car door when he saw a girl in a black suit approaching Yun Yiyi. A slight frown appeared on his face immediately.
Based on their interaction, it was clear they were very familiar with each other.
He watched as both of them got into the car and drove away.
At this moment, his expression was icy-cold. Who was that woman who foiled his plan of seeing Yun Yiyi?
