Chapter 688 - 688 Don’t let Tangtang see this

“The brain’s nerves are connected to the nerves in all parts of the body, and if there’s a problem with the brain’s nerves, it doesn’t just affect vision,” the doctor said seriously. “But Mr. Wen, your condition is still unclear, and we currently recommend conservative observational treatment.”

“Your headache may not necessarily be a sign of a malignant symptom; many people experience headaches that go away without medication. You need to keep a calm mindset, as negative emotions can easily affect the recovery of your condition.” The doctor put down the examination report, “Mr. Wen, there are miracles in medicine, and perhaps you will be one of the lucky ones.”

Wen Yanqing held the examination results and walked out of the consulting room.

Yi Qian, who had just come back with the medication, handed him his phone, “You forgot to take it after the examination. Miss Lin called looking for you; I took the call on your behalf.”

Wen Yanqing’s voice was slightly hoarse, “What did she say?”

“She asked what you were busy with, and I told her you were meeting with clients. She asked me to tell you to call her back when you’re free.”

Clenching the phone tightly, Wen Yanqing stood still for a long while, then handed over the report, “Take this and burn it. Don’t let Tangtang see.”

Yi Qian took it, unable to decipher the medical images, “How is your condition?”

“It’s nothing, let’s go back.”

Yi Qian’s expression didn’t ease up. If it’s nothing, why are you so afraid of Miss Lin finding out?

The two had only walked a few steps when someone called out to Mr. Wen.

Wen Yanqing stopped and turned his head.

It was Gu Zhichuan.

“Special Assistant Yi, may I have a word with him in private, if that’s convenient?” Gu Zhichuan asked.

Yi Qian looked at Wen Yanqing. With a slight nod from him, Yi Qian moved a short distance away to give them space, watching from afar.

Gu Zhichuan scanned the man before him, his gaze finally settling on his eyes, “I heard your conversation with the doctor from outside the consulting room.” The line of Wen Yanqing’s jaw tightened slightly.

“Gantang didn’t accompany you, so you’re keeping it a secret from her, right?” Gu Zhichuan asked.

Wen Yanqing remained silent.

“Are you hiding it from her because you’re afraid she’ll worry, or because you’re afraid she’ll leave you if she finds out your eyes might not recover?” Gu Zhichuan leaned against the wall, looking at the man before him, “After all, initially, she was convinced that your eyes would get better, and you, thinking you could recover, were reluctant to let her go. Am I right?”

Wen Yanqing’s eyes reflected the light in the hospital corridor, unusually clear and tranquil, “Gu Zhichuan, I know what you want to say, but when to tell Tangtang is my business, and who are you to question it?”

“If you wanted to tell her, you would have done so already. Why do you need to come here for a check-up behind her back?” Gu Zhichuan’s expression was solemn, “Wen Yanqing, you can’t be so selfish. Do you plan to pretend for the rest of your life, to deceive her forever?”

“Selfish?” Wen Yanqing gave a mocking laugh, “Gu Zhichuan, you’re just eager for me to break up with her, so the moment you heard my examination results, you couldn’t wait to come up here and confront me with this.”

“That’s right, Gantang is great, and she could find someone better. She doesn’t have to waste her time on you,” Gu Zhichuan frankly admitted, “I promised not to pursue her again on the condition that your surgery was successful and you could recover. But now the doctor says, there’s a problem with the nerves in your brain, and it doesn’t just affect vision.”

Wen Yanqing clenched his fists.

“What if it’s not just your vision that you lose?” Gu Zhichuan posed the question, “What if one day you wake up to find that your hearing, your sense of touch, even your mobility have been affected? What then?”

“Do you really want to burden the one you love for your own selfish desires?”
