Chapter 56: Heart Beating Intensely
Shen Kuozhi and Qi Yue were well-known to most people, but this man who kept revealing secrets was relatively unknown.
It was easy to imagine who was being criticized in everyone’s eyes.
“Seriously, who is this guy? How dare he cause trouble for the Shen family.”
“Tsk tsk, it’s just some tricks to catch Shen Kuozhi’s attention.”
“Hey hey hey, what’s going on exactly? I don’t get it. Wasn’t it that guy who said this?”
“Hey, your signal isn’t great, buddy. Shen CEO and his partner have been married for so long, a legitimate couple. Look at that guy, dressed up like a peacock, badmouthing his partner in front of Shen CEO. That’s just asking for trouble.”
“Now that you put it that way, I get it. Tsk tsk tsk, how did someone like this manage to get in?”
“He looks so unfamiliar, could he really have sneaked in?”
While the people around were silently observing and gossiping, Qi Yunhan arrived, accompanied by several security personnel.
“Is everything okay? Is this the guy causing trouble?”
Qi Yunhan spotted the man opposite Shen Kuozhi and Qi Yue from afar, rambling on incessantly. After confirming with them, he had Qi Yue take Shen Kuozhi away while he dealt with the rest.
Under Qi Yunhan’s orders, security prepared to “escort” the man out.
“Hey hey hey! What are you doing? I’m a guest, why are you kicking me out?”
Qi Yunhan raised an eyebrow. He was curious to know what this man was up to.
“What’s your name?”
“I’m a friend of the Meng family’s young master…”
“I’m asking, what. Is. Your. Name.”
Originally, Qi Yunhan was considering dealing with this man, but now it seemed unnecessary, just a waste of time.
“Yang Xingyun.”
Yang Xingyun was intimidated by Qi Yunhan’s imposing presence and quickly blurted out his name.
He knew this man before him. He was the young master of the Qi family, the protagonist of tonight’s event, someone he absolutely couldn’t afford to offend.
“Escort the guest out.”
Without sparing Yang even a glance, Qi Yunhan mercilessly had him driven out.
“I don’t want to leave! Why are you kicking me out?”
At this moment, Yang Xingyun hadn’t yet realized the seriousness of the situation. He didn’t understand why he was being targeted.
He had only spoken the truth just now, and he had even been punched by that bastard Qi Yue!
Yet, Qi Yunhan was blindly kicking him out just because of a phone call from Qi Yue. It was simply unjust!
Could it be that Qi Yunhan and Qi Yue were also involved?
Although Yang Xingyun was unwilling in his heart, this was someone else’s territory after all. He had only come here to broaden his horizons by getting involved with the flirtatious young master of the Meng family. If the young master of the Meng family saw him in his current sorry state, he would probably be cast aside.
“Forget it, I’m tired of playing anyway. I’ll leave on my own, no need for you to escort me.”
Yang Xingyun changed his tone, deciding to save face for himself. After all, in the outside world, face was earned by oneself.
Qi Yunhan had originally wanted to expose Yang Xingyun’s identity, but he didn’t expect Yang Xingyun to change his attitude. It seemed that even those who could cozy up to wealthy families weren’t that foolish.
Since the other party was willing to leave on their own, in order not to let this farce affect the mood of other guests, Qi Yunhan didn’t pursue it further. He just instructed the security personnel to ensure that Yang Xingyun left the venue.
Once outside, Yang Xingyun sent a voice message to the young master of the Meng family, with a tone dripping with sweetness.
“Meng Shao~ I’m tired tonight, so I’m heading back first. Have fun, Meng Shao~”
Little did he know how disgusted the young master of the Meng family, who already knew about this farce, would feel upon hearing his voice message.
After sending the message, Yang Xingyun’s expression changed, his eyes filled with malice.
Qi Yue, oh Qi Yue, how dare you make a scene in front of so many VIPs! Just wait and see!
Meanwhile, after Qi Yue and Shen Kuozhi got rid of the rabid dog Yang Xingyun, they successfully left the venue.
Qi Yue carefully helped Shen Kuozhi into the car and whispered, “Which hospital should we go to?”
Shen Kuozhi’s face was already pale without any color. If he hadn’t struggled to maintain a trace of consciousness, he would have passed out long ago.
“Linya…”
“Okay.”
As soon as Shen Kuozhi finished speaking, he completely lost consciousness.
Seeing his condition, it was evident that the situation was dire. Qi Yue quickly navigated to Linya Private Hospital.
The car stopped steadily at the hospital entrance. He planned to first call for a nurse to help take Shen Kuozhi to the emergency room, then park the car in a nearby parking space.
Qi Yue approached with several male nurses carrying a stretcher. Unexpectedly, the nurses looked even more anxious when they saw Shen Kuozhi, swiftly lifting him into the hospital. This series of operations took less than three minutes.
When Qi Yue parked the car and went to find Shen Kuozhi, doctors and nurses were already surrounding him, conducting examinations.
It seemed that Linya Hospital was a familiar place for Shen Kuozhi.
Well, considering Shen Kuozhi’s health, he and the hospital’s doctors and nurses were probably old acquaintances.
While the doctors were examining Shen, Qi Yue sat on a bench outside, staring blankly at a certain spot, his thoughts all focused on the emergency room.
“Shen Kuozhi, please don’t let anything happen to you! If something happens to you, whose wool will I shear in the future?”
Qi Yue didn’t have a smoking habit, but now he wished for a cigarette to calm himself down, yet he couldn’t find one in his pocket.
Fortunately, the examination results came out quickly. When the doctor stood in front of him and declared that Shen Kuozhi was fine, Qi Yue’s heart finally settled.
“That’s good… that’s good…”
Qi Yue muttered to himself.
His legs were still a bit weak. If the doctor hadn’t delivered this news, his body might have collapsed.
“Can I go in and see him now?”
“Of course, but before that, we need to transfer Mr. Shen to a different room. Mr. Qi, you may need to wait a little longer.”
“Oh, okay, no problem.”
The doctor transferred Shen Kuozhi to a room exclusively for him. This room was purchased by Shen Kuozhi himself, decorated not like a hospital but more like a home, filled with warm colors that made people feel comfortable.
Qi Yue looked at Shen Kuozhi lying quietly on the bed and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he had always known that Shen Kuozhi was not in good health, this was the first time he had experienced Shen Kuozhi’s soft body so directly.
The doctor said Shen Kuozhi was fine, but he didn’t tell him why Shen Kuozhi suddenly fainted.
It seemed that Shen Kuozhi’s body still needed more attention and care.
Unconsciously, the clock had already struck twelve. Qi Yue sat on the leather chair next to Shen Kuozhi’s bed and fell asleep.
The morning light filtered through the curtains, waking up the people in the room.
When Qi Yue woke up, he found himself leaning on the edge of Shen Kuozhi’s bed. When he moved slightly, he felt uncomfortable all over, with a sore back and aching waist.
Just as he was planning to get up slowly, he didn’t expect that at this moment, Shen Kuozhi, who had been lying quietly with his eyes closed, would wake up.
The two of them locked eyes, in such an awkward position.
“Are you thirsty?”
Originally, Qi Yue wanted to stretch and yawn but restrained himself under Shen Kuozhi’s gaze, instead asking if there was anything Shen Kuozhi needed help with.
Upon waking up, the first thing Shen Kuozhi saw was Qi Yue lying beside him. He couldn’t tell if Qi Yue was uncomfortable due to his sleeping position or if he had a bad dream. Shen Kuozhi frowned slightly, noticing a hint of dark circles under Qi Yue’s eyes, indicating he hadn’t rested well.
However, before Shen Kuozhi could observe Qi Yue further, there were already signs of Qi Yue waking up. Shen Kuozhi instinctively closed his eyes to pretend to be asleep.
After realizing his subconscious action, he felt foolish and opened his eyes again, leading to their current awkward situation.
“You’ve been here with me all night. You must be tired too. Take a rest for a while. I’ll call for a nurse to take care of me.”
Instead of responding to Qi Yue’s words, Shen Kuozhi suggested that Qi Yue should rest.
Since childhood, Shen Kuozhi had suffered from poor health. Despite the Shen family’s wealth and power, he had experienced many pains that others had not. Only those who had experienced it knew how unforgettable this taste was, so he didn’t want Qi Yue to go through the same pain.
After Shen Kuozhi hoarsely spoke, Qi Yue stood up and left without looking back.
Seeing Qi Yue’s resolute departure, Shen Kuozhi felt relieved but also a bit sour in his heart.
Just as Shen Kuozhi was about to press the call button on the bedside pager, Qi Yue turned back with a cup of warm water, walking towards him against the light.
These few seconds seemed to slow down. Every step Qi Yue took towards him seemed to precisely step on his heart. Shen Kuozhi felt his heartache intensely.
“Have some water.”
Qi Yue placed the water cup on the bedside table and gently helped Shen Kuozhi sit up against the pillow.
This time, Shen Kuozhi didn’t refuse. Since his wife was taking care of him so considerately, how could he bear to let him go? Just by being by his side and doing nothing, Shen Kuozhi felt his discomfort ease significantly.
After drinking the water, Shen Kuozhi still had some rationality left. If Qi Yue stayed here all the time, the likelihood of his illness being exposed would increase. So, to conceal his condition, Shen Kuozhi eventually found a reason for Qi Yue to leave.
“Mr. Qi, don’t worry. Mr. Shen’s condition is not serious. We just need to observe him for a while.”
The attending doctor assured Qi Yue, while Shen Kuozhi on the hospital bed added, “Yue Yue, I’m fine. The doctors and nurses here can take care of everything. You go back and rest. Maybe I’ll be discharged this afternoon.”
Qi Yue frowned, looking at Shen Kuozhi with some hesitation.
However, when their eyes met, and Qi Yue saw the smile in Shen Kuozhi’s eyes, he suddenly came to his senses. Would his actions make Shen Kuozhi misunderstand?
So, despite still worrying about Shen Kuozhi’s health, to avoid misunderstanding, Qi Yue agreed to leave.
“Then, I’ll leave Mr. Shen in your care. I’ll take my leave.”
