Chapter 190: Getting into Sheng Yu's Car

In the middle of the night, after being "coaxed" by Sheng Yu for several hours, Zhu Yuan was exhausted.

Although she kept her temper in check when out in public, once she returned home, the scent of jealousy pickled her through and through.

The room was lit with warm yellow light, and the bed was in a state of disarray.

Zhu Yuan straddled Sheng Yu's waist, lowered her head, and bit his neck, "Why are you so alluring to others!"

Her "fierce" tone, paired with her flushed face, looked completely harmless from any angle, yet it made Sheng Yu unable to stop himself from gripping her waist tightly, his deep gaze unable to move away from her face.

"What are you looking at? Is there something on my face..."

Sheng Yu let out a low chuckle, sat straight up, caught the back of her head, and kissed her lips, blocking her grumbling.

The damp, hot kiss landed by her ear, and the man was in an excellent mood, "So you were jealous a long time ago."

Hearing the man's extremely husky voice, Zhu Yuan felt as if she had been electrocuted, unable to understand what he was saying for a moment.

It wasn't until Sheng Yu cupped her face, unscrupulously admiring her face that looked both dazed and bewitchingly charming.

"Before, when Ning Chu was taken by that man surnamed Pei, you went to settle the score with her. On the car ride back, you scolded me for being alluring; I didn't understand why you were inexplicably angry at the time, but it turns out you had heard Ning Huaiqing calling me and were jealous."

He touched her sweaty face, staring into her eyes, "So you fell in love with me so long ago."

Zhu Yuan's eyes darted away, but he pinched her chin to turn her face back, lowered his head, and kissed her lips, "Hmm? Little liar!"

Afterward, Sheng Yu "coaxed" her even more vigorously, only stopping once he had coaxed her to sleep.

The next day.

Watching Zhu Yuan, who was sleeping soundly, Sheng Yu planted a kiss on her forehead.

In his mind, the image of her catching Ning Huaiqing hugging him last night, with her eyes rimmed in red, involuntarily surfaced.

In that instant, for the first time in his life, he felt fear.

Fear that she would leave.

His breathing tightened, his arms couldn't help but tighten their grip, pulling her into his embrace, and he lowered his head to take a deep breath in the crook of her neck.

Opening the bedroom door, Feiyuan poked its head out from its dog bed, jolted awake, and ran over on its short legs.

But it was snatched up by Sheng Yu; looking at its baring teeth and brandishing claws, it was becoming more and more like the bold Zhu Yuan.

Situ was downstairs; hearing footsteps, he looked up and saw Sheng Yu coming down with Feiyuan, looking to be in a good mood.

Once the man reached the bottom floor, he followed behind him.

"Young Master Yu, last night Mr. Ning fell down the stairs at home and suffered a severe head injury; the doctor has diagnosed that he will not be able to wake up for the time being."

Sheng Yu glanced at him sideways.

Situ was concise: "He has become a vegetable."

The man placed the puppy on the ground.

Having gained its freedom, Feiyuan scampered off on its short legs to run upstairs, but was stopped by a warning look from the man; it lowered its dog head, making whimpering sounds of protest, and was taken away by a servant.

Sheng Yu withdrew his gaze, gave a faint "mm," and made no comment.

"How could Uncle have fallen down the stairs just like that?"

At the hospital, Yuan Fengye and Qi Jing had rushed over early in the morning upon hearing that Ning Huaiqing's father had met with an accident.

Looking at the haggard Ning Huaiqing, who clearly hadn't closed her eyes all night, Yuan Fengye comforted her: "Medical care is so advanced now, there will definitely be a better way."

"This hospital belongs to Yu Ge, and it already represents the highest medical standard in the country." Ning Huaiqing sighed, her eyes rimmed with red.

Qi Jing spoke up: "Ask Yu Ge to help you contact a top-tier medical team abroad; the Sheng Family has broader connections in the medical field than we do."

"That's right, Yu Ge must have a way." Yuan Fengye's eyes lit up, "You should ask Yu Ge for help."

Ning Huaiqing gave a soft "mm," turned back to look at her father lying unconscious on the hospital bed, "I hope so."

But after what happened last night, Sheng Yu probably wouldn't be willing to see her.

Evening.

Sheng Yu finished his work and told Situ he wouldn't be working overtime.

Situ silently organized the documents on the desk, "Are we going to the theater?"

The man gave a soft "mm," opened a drawer, took out a beautiful royal blue velvet box, picked up his coat, and walked out the door.

But as the car drove out of the Shengshi Financial Group, someone blocked the front of the car.

Sheng Yu looked over with cold eyes.

"Young Master Yu, it's the eldest Miss Ning." Situ slammed on the brakes.

Ning Huaiqing pursed her lips; she trotted to Sheng Yu's car window and tapped lightly.

The window rolled down.

"Yu Ge, I'm sorry."

"Knowing you're sorry, you still dare to block my car? Ning Huaiqing, you didn't used to be the type to knowingly break the rules."

The woman's eyes turned red, "I know, and I know you aren't willing to answer my calls, so I didn't call to disturb you. But Yu Ge, you already know about my father's situation; can you please help me?"

She couldn't find any reason to stay in Jingdu City, and for the sake of Sheng Yu, she could only wrong her father.

But he was her biological father after all, and she didn't want him to never wake up.

It was currently the time for employees to get off work.

Employees of the Sheng Group were coming out one after another; with thousands of people appearing in the plaza, Sheng Yu's car and the beautiful, fragile-looking woman invited speculation.

More and more people noticed this side.

Sheng Yu's expression gradually turned cold; in her desperation, Ning Huaiqing pressed both hands against the car window, "Yu Ge!"

"I will have Situ make arrangements."

Ning Huaiqing broke into a smile through her tears, "Thank you, thank you, Yu Ge."

From late last night until now, she hadn't closed her eyes or eaten anything, and her body could no longer hold up; upon receiving this promise of help from Sheng Yu, her previously taut nerves relaxed, and everything went black before her eyes.

The hand pressed against the car window slid downward.

She collapsed onto the ground, unconscious.

The sound of discussion from the crowd drifted into the car cabin.

Sheng Yu's expression was gloomy as he said indifferently, "Take her to the hospital."

Countless people saw Situ get out of the car and carry the unconscious Ning Huaiqing into Sheng Yu's car.

The car drove out of the Sheng Group.

Halfway to the hospital, Ning Huaiqing slowly regained consciousness.

But her body was extremely weak; she lay on the seat, limp all over, and struggled to sit up with her hands, her entire face pale and devoid of color.

She looked at Sheng Yu, who was sitting opposite her, and said in a low voice, "I should still get out of the car, so as not to be misunderstood by Miss Zhu."

"Misunderstood about what?" Sheng Yu's tone was cold.

Ning Huaiqing's complexion worsened slightly, "Misunderstood about us... I'm sorry about last night, Yu Ge. It was an impulsive moment on my part. I should explain it to Miss Zhu, but I'm afraid the more I explain, the more unclear it will become. Getting into your car now will only make it easier for her to misunderstand."

"She won't."

This sentence sounded like it was meant to soothe her emotions.

But the next second, Sheng Yu said expressionlessly, "It is impossible for anything to happen between you and me. Helping you is only because of that matter three years ago, but I can only help you with these things. As for anything else, don't even think about it."

Yet, the video of Ning Huaiqing getting into Sheng Yu's car was still posted online by someone.

After finishing dinner, Zhu Yuan was preparing for her evening performance when she saw the content of a pop-up notification on her phone.
