Chapter 23: 023 you’re not a trouble
“Mr. Fu is… pursuing me?” Su Ran’s tone was somewhat uncertain.
“Could it be that my pursuit has been too subtle?”
Now Su Ran’s headache worsened.
“We are but strangers who met by chance, you…”
“That’s not the point.”
Su Ran let out a light sigh, “Mr. Fu, we have met only three times, and to speak of any feelings, I’m afraid that’s not something we can claim. Moreover, you saw my situation just now, I have many troubles, and I don’t want to drag you into them. Besides, under these circumstances… it’s unfair to you.”
“That’s my business.”
“Whether it’s fair or not, I decide. If I say it’s fair, then it’s fair. I’m not asking you to agree now, only telling you my intention, and moreover…”
Fu Qiyuan paused for a moment, his deep eyes holding hers.
“You are not a trouble.”
A tremor ran deep through Su Ran’s heart, as the seemingly impregnable walls she had built around herself cracked ever so slightly.
“Why should you face all the hardships alone, fight solitary battles? What use would I be?”
“Please, Miss Su, believe that my pursuit is sincere and meticulous.”
It seemed like giving Su Ran a chance to take it all in, once he finished speaking, Fu Qiyuan turned and left.
The hospital room that had been bustling just moments ago quieted down suddenly, and only after a long while did Su Ran come back to her senses amid the chill wind.
Remembering the man’s words just now, a touch of a smile colored her exquisitely cold beauty.
Hospital director’s office.
Fu Qiyuan was currently sitting on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Basked in sunlight, his strikingly handsome features seemed even more indolently abstinent, exuding a sense of mystery and nobleness, restrained yet profound.
At this moment, Qin Feng and the director stood respectfully to the side.
“How is her recovery going?”
His voice, low and cool, carried a powerful oppressiveness that involuntarily sent chills down one’s spine.
“President Fu, Miss Su’s fever this time is due to a viral infection, compounded by her overexertion recently, which weakened her resistance and caused her fever to recur. She may need to be observed for another two days, and as long as her temperature remains under control without fluctuating, she can then be discharged.”
Fu Qiyuan looked up, his profound gaze falling on the director.
On hearing this, the director trembled, and a thin, dense layer of sweat formed on his forehead instantly.
“She… she can be discharged after… another two days of observation.”
Fu Qiyuan crossed his legs casually, his tall and straight figure exuding an indolent exclusiveness as he rested his forehead on one hand and tapped the armrest of the sofa with the other.
“If any mishap occurs again, you can have someone else take over as the director.”
The director tensed, realizing that Fu Qiyuan was referring to the incident where someone had barged into Miss Su’s hospital room earlier that day, causing her injury.
After reporting on Su Ran’s condition over the past few days, the director wisely left the office.
A wise man adapts himself to the prevailing conditions.
He knew what to listen to and what not to.
The office became suddenly quiet, and Qin Feng felt a bit tense.
“How has her appetite been these past couple of days?”
Fu Qiyuan raised his eyes, his gaze calmly scanning over Qin Feng.
“President Fu, not bad. Miss Su seems to quite like the food from First-Class Fragrance.”
“Hmm, continue to send it. Pay attention to a balanced diet for her three meals a day. If she doesn’t like something, replace it immediately.”
Qin Feng was astonished.
Since when did Mr. Fu, like a Banished Immortal, care about someone’s daily meals.
“Have someone guard her, don’t let those fools disturb her again.”
The cool indifference of his voice carried an inexplicable chill, causing Qin Feng to feel a creeping coldness on his back.
