Chapter 109: Going to the Hospital to be a Mascot

Cheng Wan has indeed not paid much attention to Chu Li recently.

When he returned, she had already fallen asleep; when he left, she had not yet risen.

The two of them have almost never faced each other.

But so what?

Their relationship was a transaction to begin with.

"Yun Shu, stop talking." Chu Li lowered his voice again.

Qin Yunshu choked back sobs, "I understand that you want to hide it from her, but you always need someone to take care of you. I only handed you a water cup, and she got angry; she isn't worth you being good to her."

"Qin Yunshu." Chu Li's tone was stern, "Get out."

Qin Yunshu stomped her feet in grievance and ran out.

Assistant Wu followed her out and closed the door.

Cheng Wan thought for a moment, then walked to the hospital bed and asked, "Is there anywhere else you feel uncomfortable?"

Chu Li's gentle and indifferent expression gradually turned silent, caught between light and shadow, "I'm fine."

He explained, "Yun Shu was just concerned about me, which is why she followed me to the Yiyuan. Her words were a bit harsh, don't take them to heart."

Cheng Wan lowered her eyes, "You don't need to explain. If there are no other issues, I'll be leaving first."

She turned to leave.

"Cheng Wan." Chu Li felt a bitterness in his heart and couldn't help but ask, "You rushed over in such a hurry—was it really out of concern for me, or because you were afraid of delaying Wen Ping'an's treatment?"

Cheng Wan could not tell how much concern she actually felt for him.

She watched him quietly; his pale face was indeed full of exhaustion.

"Is there a difference?"

Chu Li looked as if he had been dealt a heavy blow, his gaze dimming.

Cheng Wan found it ridiculous: "You hide everything from me, saying it's because you're afraid I'll worry, yet you demand that I worry about you."

She paused, feeling somewhat sarcastic.

"You even let Qin Yunshu blame me, thinking I don't care enough about you. Chu Li, don't you think you're being too double-standard in how you do things?"

Chu Li was speechless for a moment.

He felt that since she was pregnant, he didn't want her to worry, but after she found out, he wanted her concern.

He also knew he had gone too far.

But he couldn't control it.

Cheng Wan stood by the door, her expression indifferent: "Chu Li, you have never lacked this bit of concern from me."

She left directly.

Outside, Assistant Wu was still waiting.

Seeing her come out, his expression was somewhat helpless, "I only just found out that Director Qin ordered all the assistants in the assistant office not to reveal that President Chu had fainted to anyone, including me."

It was only because someone secretly sent him a message that he found out and notified Cheng Wan.

He hadn't expected that coming over would lead to such a misunderstanding.

Cheng Wan said faintly: "That is her brilliance. By acting in the name of what's good for others, she makes it so no one can find fault with her, and the one who ends up being unreasonable becomes someone else."

During her three years in the Qin Family, she had long since learned of Qin Yunshu's methods.

Assistant Wu sighed; his original intention had been to give the President and his wife more opportunities to spend time together.

"Take good care of him." Cheng Wan gave a word of instruction, said goodbye to Assistant Wu, and walked away.

After walking only a few steps, she encountered Qin Yunshu, who was talking to a doctor.

Qin Yunshu walked over.

She was wearing a proper professional suit, her long hair draped straight over her shoulders.

Cheng Wan walked straight past her side.

Qin Yunshu stopped, however, her tone carrying a hint of provocation: "Cheng Wan, guess how much patience he has left for you?"

Cheng Wan looked at her calmly, her expression unruffled, "If you were capable, you should have helped your best friend take the position long ago. It's just a pity that she failed."

Qin Yunshu's face turned ugly in an instant.

Cheng Mingzhu had already been forcibly taken abroad by Cheng Han.

Madam Chu had also been taken to the Old Residence by Old Master Chu; even when she called her to say that Chu Li had fainted, she couldn't get out.

Qin Yunshu knew that she had underestimated Cheng Wan.

No, she had underestimated Cheng Wan's influence on Chu Li.

"Cheng Wan, don't be smug. Even if he likes you now, the position of Mrs. Chu will not be yours."

Cheng Wan curled her lips, with a hint of disdain: "It's just a position I don't want."

She left straight away.

Qin Yunshu's eyes were vicious.

Cheng Wan returned to the Beicheng Villa; just as she entered the door, a servant pushed a suitcase over.

Following that, Assistant Wu and the driver arrived at the courtyard.

Assistant Wu directed the driver to move the suitcase into the car before saying to Cheng Wan: "President Chu hopes you will go to the Yiyuan to provide care."

Cheng Wan refused to go, "I am a pregnant woman; I need to rest."

Qin Yunshu is there to accompany him, why come and torment her?

Assistant Wu was respectful, "Everything has been arranged at the Yiyuan; it will not tire you out."

Cheng Wan knew that she had no choice but to go.

She got into the car with anger; that dog of a man only knows how to torment her.

More than an hour later, she returned to stand before Chu Li once again.

Chu Li was still in the same position, leaning against the head of the bed, with a stack of processed documents at his side.

He lifted his eyes to look over, his gaze slightly cold.

The suitcase was placed to one side, and Assistant Wu left quickly.

Cheng Wan was displeased, "I can hire a caregiver for you."

Furthermore, his body was only a bit weak; there was nothing seriously wrong, and he had no need for a companion at all.

"I have hands and feet; it's unnecessary."

"Then why did you want me to come here?" Cheng Wan was very unhappy.

"To act as a mascot." Chu Li's tone was very flat as he lifted his chin to gesture at the suitcase, "I had the servant pack it for you; see what else is missing and have someone send it over."

Cheng Wan crossed her arms and stood still, asking coldly, "How long do I have to stay here?"

"You will stay as long as I stay."

"I am pregnant, and I'm not used to staying in a Yiyuan."

She refused to stay here.

"I am undergoing stem cell stimulation these few days; are you sure you aren't used to it?" Chu Li precisely grasped Cheng Wan's weak point.

Cheng Wan had no choice; she dragged the suitcase to the side and opened it to check.

The servant had packed her things very thoroughly.

There was almost nothing that needed to be added.

She took her toiletries to wash up and changed into soft pajamas.

The hospital bed was large, and she lay down beside Chu Li.

Chu Li flipped through documents, his other hand resting on her forehead.

The air was quiet, with only the sound of Chu Li flipping through documents.

Listening to that singular sound, Cheng Wan fell asleep very quickly.

Chu Li heard her steady breathing and only then put the documents down.

His body slid down slightly, and he turned on his side to pull her into his embrace.

The night passed without a word.

Early the next morning, Chu Li woke up a bit earlier.

Perhaps because she was by his side, his mood was quite good.

Just as he was about to get up, someone burst into the hospital room.

"A Li."

The voice was very loud.

Chu Li frowned instantly and looked at the person who had entered, "Keep your voice down."

Qin Shen saw the bulge on the other side of the bed at a glance.

That was Cheng Wan, right?

Chu Li got out of bed and said with a cold look, "Wanwan is sleeping; let's talk outside."

Qin Shen felt a lump in his chest; it really was Cheng Wan.

He pulled the door open and went out, feeling very unhappy.

"Why is she here?"

Chu Li frowned and said, "What do you want with me?"

Qin Shen could not care about the fact that Cheng Wan was here and said hurriedly, "A Li, the company has run into trouble; help me out."

That the Qin Family company would run into trouble was only a matter of time; Chu Li was not surprised.
