Chu Liyuan had already given the order. There was no way he could get out of it this time.
He had no choice but to call Mengjiao. âDear, are you home yet?â
âWe just parted ways. How can I be home so soon? Why? Do you miss me so soon already?â
âYeah! I want to be with you every moment.â Li Jing kept an eye out for Chu Liyuan as he spoke on the phone.
Li Jing never thought that he would be so mushy one day.
Ever since Jian Danâs incident, Li Jing had not spoken to Mengjiao on the phone in front of Chu Liyuan. He knew that Chu Liyuan was suffering, so he must not witness Li Jingâs daily life with Mengjiao. Otherwise, he was really afraid that Chu Liyuan would not be able to take it.
âYouâre so mushy!â Mengjiao chided, but her face was brimming with happiness.
âUm, dear⦠I have something to tell you.â
Hearing the sudden change in Li Jingâs tone, Mengjiao sensed something. âWhatâs wrong? Donât tell me that man made you work overtime?â
Ever since Jian Danâs incident, Mengjiao had never been nice to Chu Liyuan because she could not forgive him. If it wasnât for him, how could Jianâ¦
Hence, Mengjiao often asked Li Jing to resign. Although she knew that it was impossible, she just couldnât face that man calmly and wanted to float the idea nonetheless.
âIs there something wrong with his brain?! He doesnât rest and he wonât let his subordinates rest as well. Just quit working for such a boss!â
âAlright, alright. Dear, donât be angry. I promise you that Iâll finish my work as soon as possible and go home, okay? Be good. I love you!â
âThen remember to eat on time.â
âAlright, donât worry. Iâll definitely eat on time. Mwah!â
After ending the call, Li Jing heaved a sigh of reliefâ¦
For the next three days, Chu Liyuan did not leave the 33rd floor at all. He tried all sorts of ways and hired many very capable IT personnel, but he still could not find that person.
Today, there was finally some progress. Li Jing was brimming with excitement to tell Chu Liyuan about it but got a rude shock when he found Chu Liyuan lying motionless on the floor the moment he entered his office.
Li Jing couldnât care less about that hacker anymore and immediately sent Chu Liyuan to the hospitalâ¦
Chu Liyuan had been drinking heavily every day for the past few years, causing his stomach lining to become abnormally thin. Compounded by the fact that he had been working non-stop for the past few days and had not eaten on time, he suffered a gastrointestinal perforation. Furthermore, from the looks of it, he must have been in pain for a few days at least, and had been bearing with it until he couldnât take it anymore and fainted in the office.
Sizhe looked at the deathly pale Chu Liyuan and his brows remained furrowed for a long timeâ¦
This guyâs been treating this place as his second home for the past few years, coming here every now and then. Tve tried everything, but he just turns a deaf ear to everything.
This made Sizhe very worried. As a doctor, he knew very well that Chu Liyuanâs stomach lining was already very fragile. If he did not take good care, the consequences would be very dire.
However, Chu Liyuan refused to listen to anyone. Even Chu Zhiyuanâs words fell on deaf ears, let alone his friends.
Sizhe could only perform emergency surgery on him⦠n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
After the surgery, Chu Liyuan was unconscious for an entire day and night. Other than the postoperative anesthesia, it was also because he had not rested well recently.
Chu Liyuan opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings. He immediately knew where he was. He had been a regular here for the past few years, so he was familiar with it.
âWhy am I here?â His throat was a little dry, and his voice sounded a little hoarse.
âYou still have the cheek to ask me? I think youâre really trying to turn this place into your home.â Sizheâwho was standing by Chu Liyuanâs bedâsaid angrily as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.
As a friend, seeing Chu Liyuan like this, the feeling of heartache and helplessness was reallyâ¦
