From inside the house came the voices of Old Master Cheng and Old Master
Jin, as well as the compliments of the younger generation. Someone called Cheng Lang’s name. Cheng Lang reflexively wanted to hang up. But when he lowered his head and looked, he saw that it was Xing Shu l s name.
Cheng Lang paused and answered the call. He walked to the pillar at the side and asked, “What’s the matter?” However, no one spoke on the other end of the cell phone. He frowned. “Xing Shu?” After waiting for another two minutes, he could only hear intermittent breathing and uncomfortable grunts.
Cheng Lang did not give it much thought and walked out of the door. The servant standing at the door could not help but shout, ‘Young Master, where are you going?” However, Cheng Lang walked very quickly. It was unknown if he had heard him.
Cheng Lang got into the car and asked someone to track Xing Shu l s location. After knowing that she was in the apartment, he heaved a sigh of relief and sped to her place.
In her daze. Xing Shu thought she heard someone knocking on the door and calling her name. The pain in her abdomen was like a fire. She slowly opened her eyes and confirmed that the doorbell was indeed ringing. She seemed to have heard Cheng Lang’s voice, but he should be at the Cheng family’s house now. The Cheng family residence should be very lively tonight, right?
Xing Shu frowned and felt her limbs stiffen. She finally confirmed that she was not hallucinating. It was really Cheng Lang’s voice outside the door. She forced herself to walk to the door and opened it.
Cheng Lang saw Xing Shu’s pale face and her lips were bleeding from biting. He quickly asked, “Gastric pain?
Xing Shu nodded. As her eyelashes fluttered, sweat rolled down her face. Cheng Lang carried Xing Shu princess style and strode straight into the elevator. Xing Shu leaned against his chest and listened to his heartbeat. She slowly closed her eyes.
The elevator stopped on the first floor. Cheng Lang slowly placed Xing Shu in the front passenger seat and buckled her seatbelt. Xing Shu tilted her head back and covered her abdomen with one hand, hoping to reduce the pain.
Cheng Lang went to the driver’s seat. “Why did you suddenly have gastric pain?
Of course, Xing Shu would not say that she was angered by Cheng Xingyang. Thinking of what happened just now, she felt annoyed. She was also worried that those photographs would be circulated. She said perfunctorily, “I forgot to eat.
“Is the salary I give you not enough? Is it worth it for you to work so hard, Director Xing?” This was not Cheng Lang’s first time being sarcastic. Xing Shu used to be able to take it. But now—for some reason—her heart and her chest felt stuffy. Her fingers that were hanging by the side slowly clenched.
Cheng Lang frowned and looked at Xing Shu worriedly. When they arrived at the hospital, he wanted to carry Xing Shu. But Xing Shu pushed him away. She got out of the car by herself and walked towards the hospital.
Cheng Lang paused for a few seconds before chasing after her. “Are you angry? His tone was laced with confusion as he tried to pull Xing Shu into his arms.
Xing Shu said, “I can go to the hospital myself. I can’t afford to take up your time. I’ll also apply for a few more days of leave. The business trip will have to be postponed.”
Cheng Lang looked at Xing Shu l s departing figure and saw that she insisted on taking the stairs instead of taking the elevator. He stood there for a while before slowly following her. “You’re not taking the elevator? Taking the stairs?
Is your brain damaged?”
Xing Shu regretted it as soon as she stepped onto the stairs. With every step she took, her belly burned and pulled. However, it was impossible for her to go back on her word and take the elevator. She could only grab the handrail of the stairs and walk up with a pale face. “ It’s none of your business.” She raised her foot to continue, but Cheng Lang picked her up princess style and went upstairs.
Xing Shu’s heart was beating wildly. She wanted to struggle, but she could not resist the fatigue in her body and stopped talking.
When the doctor examined Xing Shu, Cheng Lang was standing by the window. Xing Shu did not look at him until the doctor gave her an infusion. Her fingers trembled in pain.
The doctor said, “President Cheng, it’ll be okay after the infusion. Miss Xing Shu l s health isn’t good. It’s best to eat more regularly in the future and not eat spicy food.”
Cheng Lang looked up at Xing Shu. “Did you hear that, Xing Shu? l ‘
For some reason, Xing Shu seemed to have returned to the time when she was lectured by the director of the welfare home when she was young. She gritted her teeth and uttered. “I heard it.”
Cheng Lang said, “Even then, you still put yourself in the hospital.”
Xing Shu immediately stopped talking. She felt her heart ache from anger.
The doctor saw that the atmosphere between Cheng Lang and Xing Shu was off and quickly left, not forgetting to close the door of the ward. Cheng Lang walked over and knew that he was not in a good mood. But only he knew how nervous he was when he received such a call. He had been speeding all the way to her apartment. This was the first time he had lost his composure. It was only when Xing Shu opened the door that his nervous heart slowly regained its rhythm. It was like he could breathe again..
