Chapter 562
Chuan felt as if he had aged ten years since he started working for such an erratic and unpredictable employer. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
He spent hours each day worrying about various things.
Thankfully, they found Muchen lying quietly in bed.
He was deep in thought as he lay in bed.
Chuan stood guard without breaking the silence.
During this time, Ke came to visit once she had seen everything that needed her attention. However, she left as soon as she came when she saw how heavy the air was.
Chuan could only pray that Ziyue would arrive soon.
He found it difficult to breathe from the oppressive pressure that exuded from Muchen.
Chuan waited and waited but to no avail.
It had been more than an hour since he had spoken to Ziyue on the phone, and it didn't take that long to get from home to the hospital.
The thought worried Chuan.
Did something happen on her way here?
It was no wonder it felt so tense in the room!
Muchen growled.
"Nan Chuan!"
"I'm just about to call her and ask he where she is." Chuan immediately said and stood up to leave.
When suddenly, the door opened.
Chuan turned and saw that it was the chauffeur.
His heart sank. "Where's Mrs. Qin?"
He gulped and stammered, "She told me to let the president know that she received a call saying there was an emergency on the way here and had to leave…"
"She left after receiving a call?" Chuan squinted.
"Yes…" Fearing they would not believe him, he quickly added, "It seemed quite important. She would have left without saying a word otherwise…"
Chuan frowned and eyed the chauffeur.
It was apparent that he did not believe him at all.
He noticed the chauffeur dart a glance behind him. Chuan patted his head and thought, 'That's it then.'
It would have been fine if Ziyue could not come, but the fact that she was on the way here and then decided something had come up and that she could not make it… Muchen was about to blow his top off.
He did not believe a word that the chauffeur said.
He had known Ziyue for a while now and knew her through and through.
She wasn't stubborn. And if something important had come up, Muchen would be first in line.
He deliberately left out how Muchen was when he had called her. He was worried that she would decide not to come because of all the fights she had been having with Muchen.
He didn't think that this would happen.
"Send someone to look for her." Chuan heard Muchen's order behind him.
"Yes, sir." Chuan immediately obeyed.
Muchen had heard the entire exchange between Chuan and the chauffeur. Muchen glared at him, "You'll pay if I find that you're lying to me."
Like Chuan, Muchen did not believe the chauffeur at all.
He might have been jealous of the trust Ziyue shared with Shichu, but not once did he doubt that she cared for him.
At least… Muchen did not believe that she would choose not to come to see him for any reason after hearing that he had been hurt and hospitalized.
…
Hanyan emerged from the room, fuming.
Muchen and Ziyue needed to pay!
The blessed life that she once had was all ruined because of them!
Now she's back!
And she will make Muchen and Ziyue pay for what they did.
She'll make them suffer even if she has to destroy what little she has left to achieve it.
"Miss Gu!"
She wiped her face blank of all emotion and turned towards the voice, "What's wrong?"
"What will we do with that woman in the room?"
The man could not hide his lecherous intents.
Hanyan arched an eyebrow at him.
She had almost forgotten that Ziyue was born with looks that could tempt any man.
But…
"I'll let you know when it's time to deal with her. But before then, no one is to touch her without my order." Hanyan glared at him threateningly.
"Okay, fine…" The man mumbled.
Hanyan turned on her heel and went downstairs. She pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
She called a few times, but they all went to voicemail.
She was fuming. However, she patiently dialed until someone picked up.
Finally, she got through.
"Doctor Lu from K7? It is an honor." Said Hanyan slowly.
I was already four in the morning. The sky will soon start to lighten.
Shichu had gotten into the habit of waking up early in the morning due to his job.
He had seen the first call come through.
He had chosen to let it go to voicemail because it wasn't a number he recognized as well as he could sense something suspicious was going on.
Ultimately, he picked up because he thought it might be something important.
It took him a while to recognize the voice.
"It isn't ladylike to interrupt someone's sleep, Miss Gu." Shichu got out of bed and opened the curtains.
It was still barely light outside.
"I'm sorry for disturbing your sleep, Doctor Lu. It's just that…" She hesitated before adding, "I was afraid you might resent me if I did not let you know. It's important that we get along as we are now working together."
Shichu grew sullen when he heard her remind him that they were now 'working together'. "Do you have something to tell me? If not, I'm hanging up."
His blunt rudeness angered her. "No wonder Ziyue chose Muchen over you. You're too impatient." She sneered.
Shichu was a careful man. It had been a while since anyone last saw Hanyan. There must be a reason for her phone call.
None of which were good.
He stiffened at Ziyue's name.
"What did you do to Ziyue?" His voice dropped to a growl. If he could, he would have killed her where she stood.
"Oh, you sound like you're quite close to her. Unfortunately for you, she's a married woman. Doctor Lu, are you trying to drive a wedge into their marriage?" Hanyan started to giggle.
Anyone else would find her laughter charming, but not Shichu.
"You better make sure she's okay. Otherwise, you won't live to see tomorrow."
