Chapter 757: Difficult to Pacify
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
“Do you still know I’d worry?” Lu Si sighed lightly, his tightly knitted brows gradually relaxing.
Mei Shu blushed slightly. “You don’t have to be so tense, actually. I know my own situation, and I can take care of myself.”
“Taking care of yourself to this extent?”
As he spoke, Lu Si had already begun to unwrap the gauze from her leg.
Mei Shu quickly reached out to stop him. “Hey! What are you doing?”
“Don’t move.” He briefly held her hand to stop her struggling, then quickly let go, carefully undoing the gauze bindings with his fingertips.
As expected, there was blood seeping through the innermost layer of the gauze.
The medicine he applied to her last night at the hospital, mixed with blood, had formed a messy clot, the wound looking horrendous.
Lu Si took a deep breath, his fingers trembling, suppressing the anger in his chest, trying to steady his tone. “The doctor said your leg needs at least three months of rest to heal properly.”
“I know.” Mei Shu’s voice involuntarily lowered.
Lu Si continued to stare at her. “If you’re not careful with the recovery, there could still be complications later. If the bone doesn’t heal properly, you might have a limp in the future.”
“I know…” Mei Shu lost all confidence. She reached out and tugged at his clothes, explaining softly, “I really know I was wrong. The company is facing significant issues now. Even if I’m confident, for the sake of maintaining morale among the staff, I can’t stay hidden.”
Lu Si abruptly stood up from his chair with a scrape, startling Mei Shu.
She quickly reached out and pulled at his sleeve. “Are you really that angry?” “What do you think?” Lu Si pinched the bridge of his nose, managing to quell his anger after a while, then bent down to lift her from the chair and headed out.
“Alt Si, the company really means a lot to me,” Mei Shu murmured in his ear.
“Mm.” Lu Si replied perfunctorily.
Mei Shu continued, “I fought hard to take the company from my father’s hands. The people from the Mei family are all waiting to see me fail. If I don’t achieve something, they will definitely come out to cause trouble. If they really have that idea, I’m worried they’ll lay hands on my brothers.”
Lu Si paused in his steps, pressed the elevator button, still maintaining expressionless.
Mei Shu, feeling helpless, continued to explain, “Okay, I promise I won’t wander around until the doctor allows me to leave the hospital, is that okay?” Why is this man so difficult to pacify when he’s angry?
Lu Si glanced at her askance, entered the elevator, and couldn’t help but hum haughtily, “You better keep your word.”
“I promise!” She raised her hand and swore.
Lu Si’s expression softened slightly. “Later, I’ll have Jiang He take you to the hospital. But it doesn’t mean everything’s fine now. I’ll be watching your behavior.”
Mei Shu immediately kissed his cheek, trying to appease him. “I knew Ah Si would understand me the best!”
Lu Si wanted to smile but feared giving her a smile would lead to her having the courage to sneak out of hospital again. He quickly suppressed the smile, his face growing colder. “I have a dinner gathering later, 1’11 have to drink some alcohol, but not too much. They’re all my potential business partners. I won’t be able to accompany you in the afternoon, so if you’re bored, find something to do, but don’t go out.”
“Got it, got it,” Mei Shu nestled against his shoulder, smiling happily.
Though this man was difficult to pacify, after pacifying him, his caring and nagging appearance was unexpectedly cute.
“Master Si!”
The two had just stepped out of the elevator when they encountered Jiang He and Jiang Hai waiting there.
Lu Si held onto Mei Shu until he finally let go when she got into the car.
Mei Shu grabbed his sleeve quickly and acted spoiled, “I haven’t eaten yet.”
“Go hungry.” Lu Si coldly left these two words, pulling his sleeve back and closing the car door, giving Jiang He some instructions before letting him drive Mei Shu to the hospital.
Jiang He fastened his seatbelt and, seeing Mei Shu’s sulky expression through the rearview mirror, immediately changed to a smiling face. “Miss Mei, don’t take Master Si’s words to heart! He’s prepared a surprise for you!”
“What surprise?” Mei Shu asked with interest.
Jiang He was about to reach towards the passenger seat when he suddenly saw Master Si standing outside, gazing at him. With a start, he realized he hadn’t closed the car window, and Master Si must have heard everything he said!
Jiang He pulled back his hand, gripping the steering wheel tightly instead. “Nothing, Miss Mei, you’ll find out later!”
Mei Shu looked puzzled, glanced at Master Si still standing outside, and waved gently, “Well, I’ll be off then, bye-bye, CEO Lu!”
She even had the heart to tease him; it seemed the wound wasn’t hurting so much.
Lu Si turned around with a stern face and left. But thinking about Mei Shu’s expression when she saw the surprise later, his ears couldn’t help but flush slightly.
Seeing the car had already driven off, Mei Shu leaned halfway out of the window and looked towards the front passenger seat, “What surprise did you just mention? So mysterious!”
Jiang He drove with one hand and picked up the thermos from the seat with the other, presenting it to her smugly.. “Master Si made it himself!”
