Chapter 13 Humph, So Secretive

• “Mum, don’t worry, I believe what he says, so I’ll be back soon. Wait for me at home!” Lin Xiaoxue reassured her mother, believing her intuition.
• Even if that big boss – whom she simply couldn’t remember at all – was going to make things difficult for her, judging from the situation, she didn’t have a choice about going at all.
• So in order to prevent her parents from getting hurt, she had to go along with Dai Wei first.
• So just like that, Lin Xiaoxue got into the car and let it drive her to an unknown destination.
• “Hello uncle,” Lin Xiaoxue was very uneasy and couldn’t help but try to get some answers from Dai Wei, who was seated next to her in the back seat of the car. She smiled as sweetly as an angel as she asked, “Who’s your boss? I’ve never been in a relationship with anyone before, besides that bastard earlier who can’t always keep his hands to himself, I…”
• “It’s hard for you to move about in this bridal gown, right? Tell you what, let’s go to the shop in front and pick some clothes out for you,” Dai Wei cut her off as he pointed outside the car.
• Humph, how secretive.
• Lin Xiaoxue pouted. She wiped the smile off her face and stopped talking.
• Dai Wei looked at this pouting girl seated next to him and was slightly amused.
• After changing into a plain colored dress, throwing out the bridal veil and tying her hair into a simple ponytail, Lin Xiaoxue followed Dai Wei to the hospital.
• Wasn’t he bringing her to meet his boss or something? Why were they at the hospital?
• The strong smell of disinfectant made Lin Xiaoxue wrinkle her nose in displeasure.
• She followed Dai Wei into the lift headed for the VIP wards.
• “Your boss is ill?” Lin Xiaoxue asked out of curiosity in the lift.
• “You can say so.”
• From the way this family behaved, it was clear that they were richer and more powerful than Ye Yifan. So their boss was probably not young anymore, right?
• Oh my, could he be some old man who was on the verge of death?
• He had some affairs of the heart to settle?
• But she was a girl with a clean record, and wouldn’t get involved in any messy love affairs. Or could she be…his long lost granddaughter? Was he looking for a descendant to inherit his property? ….no that didn’t sound right either. She was the daughter of her parents and had never heard of such a relative.
• Lin Xiaoxue realized she had watched too many TV dramas and told herself to stop thinking about those sorts of plotlines.
• Lin Xiaoxue wiped away all the crazy ideas that were floating in her brain.
• DING-
• The elevator had reached their floor. Lin Xiaoxue and Dai Wei walked out and reached an elegant VIP ward.
• A young man lay on the bed in the brightly lit ward.
• His top was half open and revealed bandages that was slightly bloodstained. He had one hand near his heart, and the other was lying flat on the bed.
• His face was extremely pale and his mouth was half open and trying very hard to breathe through the oxygen mask.
• It was him?
• When she saw his face, Lin Xiaoxue started to walk more carefully towards him, afraid that her footsteps might awaken him.
• She was glad that he was still alive!
• “Boss has been thinking about you!” Dai Wei wasn’t lying. The first person he mentioned after waking up from the emergency operation was her.
• “Thinking about me?” Exactly which part was he thinking about? She thought about how she had barged into his sauna room two days back, and all the crazy things she did out of desperation made her face feel hot, and the fact that he nearly died also rattled her.
• They spoke very softly, but they still woke Gu Luochen from his shallow sleep.
• Gu Luochen’s hand moved a little, motioning for Lin Xiaoxue to go over.
• “Go over, but don’t let him talk too much because he’s still very weak,” instructed Dai Wei to Lin Xiaoxue.
• Lin Xiaoxue walked over and stood by his bedside.
