Chapter 8 Disliking Disobedience

• Jiang Gu appeared to have a poor appetite.
• For lunch, he only bought a chicken sandwich and a box of yogurt.
• Deng Yujiao noticed Cheng Cheng's gaze in the distance, so she followed his line of sight and saw Jiang Gu.
• Deng Yujiao was driven crazy by Jiang Gu, who was difficult to deal with, and she wanted to run away as soon as she saw him.
• But, as luck would have it, Jiang Gu walked towards them.
• Deng Yujiao couldn't back down, so she stood still as if her legs were filled with cement, waiting for him to approach.
• Jiang Gu had been treated for over a month and his condition had improved a lot, and he seemed more like a normal person now.
• He used to always be gloomy, but now when he saw Deng Yujiao, he could even greet her with a smile and say, "Dr. Deng."
• Deng Yujiao nodded reluctantly, forcing a smile.
• Jiang Gu then shifted his gaze to Cheng Cheng's face and asked, "Dr. Cheng, can we have a meal together?"
• Cheng Cheng readily agreed, "Sure, let's go to the cafeteria. I'll treat you."
• Deng Yujiao looked at Cheng Cheng strangely, then followed them into the cafeteria.
• The three of them ordered the same meal and sat at a table in the cafeteria.
• Many young female nurses, female interns, and female doctors all glanced at Jiang Gu's handsome face.
• There was even a young nurse excitedly whispering to her colleague, "He looks like a celibate version of Yang Yang."
• "I think he looks like Li Gouzi..."
• Deng Yujiao's ears were open to all directions, and in just a few minutes, she could tell that all the girls liked Jiang Gu.
• After all, he really was impeccable in appearance.
• After Jiang Gu sat down, he glanced at Deng Yujiao with a look of disdain in his eyes. However, she remained seated, as steady as an old dog, refusing to budge.
• Jiang Gu treated her as if she were invisible and spoke to Cheng Cheng, "My ex-girlfriend came to see me this morning."
• Deng Yujiao perked up her gossip-loving ears in excitement.
• She really didn't expect Jiang Gu to choose to share the gossip everyone wanted to hear.
• Cheng Cheng wasn't very interested in his relationship with his ex-girlfriend and simply said coldly, "You just recovered, so it's best not to get too excited emotionally."
• "I kicked her out," Jiang Gu said, looking at her directly.
• Deng Yujiao really wanted to interrupt and ask why, but Cheng Cheng said, "That's your business."
• One sentence, and it abruptly halted Jiang Gu's desire to continue speaking.
• Deng Yujiao's burning gossip soul was also extinguished mercilessly.
• Jiang Gu didn't continue speaking, but finished his meal and called Cheng Cheng to give him an IV.
• Cheng Cheng felt a bit sleepy in the afternoon and wanted to take a nap, but Jiang Gu needed her as a patient, so she could only fulfill her duty and take care of him.
• While Cheng Cheng was giving him the IV, Jiang Gu obediently extended his wrist and said, "I'll be discharged in a week."
• "Congratulations," Cheng Cheng replied.
• Jiang Gu looked at her and said, "I know you broke up."
• Cheng Cheng inserted the needle into his skin.
• Jiang Gu casually asked, "What do you think of me?"
• Cheng Cheng couldn't help but laugh and replied, "You're too young, I don't like someone younger than me."
• After saying that, she adjusted the IV drip rate and sat by the bedside to read a book.
• She couldn't concentrate and soon started dozing off.
• Jiang Gu didn't continue the conversation they had skipped earlier.
• As late summer turned into early autumn, the weather gradually became cooler.
• Jiang Gu was soon discharged from the hospital.
• Cheng Cheng didn't contact him after his discharge, but she did receive a call from Qiao Xing when arranging a spot for her to study in the southern city.
• He started off by saying, "Miss Gong, Zhao wants to go on a business trip. I have already arranged your passport. Please pack your luggage, and I will come to pick you up."
• After hearing this, Cheng Cheng found it amusing and said, "You dialed the wrong number, Assistant Qiao."
• Only then did Qiao Xing realize his mistake and apologized before hanging up the phone.
• Zhao Qichen had no shortage of women by his side. If she didn't do as he wished, he could easily find another obedient woman to keep around.
• Clearly, Zhao Qichen had given up on her.
• She felt a bit strange in her heart. After returning home, she took a shower, sat on the couch, and ate an ice cream bar.
• After daydreaming for a while, she threw away the ice cream stick and went to sleep.
• She hadn't eaten dinner, her stomach wasn't feeling well, and she had eaten something cold.
• In the middle of the night, her stomach started hurting.
• The pain was so intense that she almost rolled on the floor. In a daze, she wanted to call Deng Yujiao.
• However, when she dialed the number, a cold and distant male voice answered.
• "Hello..."
• "I'm feeling a bit unwell..." she looked at the number displayed on her phone.
• It turned out to be a wrong number without any notes.
• But she remembered this number, it belonged to Zhao Qichen.
• There was no more questioning, and the call was hung up.
• Her forehead was sweating from the pain, and she wanted to make another call to someone.
• But she didn't have the strength anymore, and the phone slipped from her hand onto the carpet by the bed. She curled up in pain like a shrimp.
• She didn't know how long had passed.
• Someone opened the bedroom door.
• A person walked into the room and helped her up from the bed, carrying her horizontally.
• She was sweating profusely from the pain.
• The man looked down at her with a furrowed brow.
• In a daze, she seemed to remember who this person was and called out, "Gao Yue..."
• Then, she passed out.
• When she woke up again, she was in a private hospital bed.
• Qiao Xing poured water for her and when he saw her wake up, he said, "You're awake, Miss Cheng."
• Cheng Cheng's head felt heavy.
• Qiao Xing went out to call someone.
• The doctor quickly came in, checked her condition, and then Zhao Qichen walked in.
• Zhao Qichen was wearing a black coat. After he walked in, he took off his coat and handed it to Qiao Xing.
• Then he came over and felt her forehead, "Still running a fever."
• Qiao Xing said, "The doctor said the fever will go down tonight."
• "Okay."
• Zhao Qichen responded and sat by the bed, looking at her sweaty forehead and asked, "When you're not feeling well, you don't even know to come to me? Are you that stubborn?"
• Cheng Cheng glanced at him, feeling weary. "You have so many other women around you."
• "Are you jealous?" Zhao Qichen asked, looking at her.
• Cheng Cheng didn't respond.
• With the abundance of women surrounding Zhao Qichen, it would take forever for her to feel jealous.
• She wasn't envious.
• Noticing her silence, Zhao Qichen continued, "I wanted to arrange for you to work at this hospital. The job is easy, and the benefits are better than your previous workplace. Don't you know what's best for you? Do you think I would harm you?"
• Arranging for her to work here would prevent the constant interruptions of phone calls when they were together.
• He didn't want a woman who was constantly busy and had no time to take care of him.
• How could he enjoy that?
• "I want to stay at my current workplace," Cheng Cheng insisted. "I think it's good."
• "I don't like women who don't listen to me," he expressed his disappointment.
• He stood up, draped the coat Qiao Xing handed him over his arm, and walked towards the door.
• Cheng Cheng looked towards the door and saw a beautiful girl eagerly waiting at the entrance.
• When she saw him coming out, she happily linked her arm with his.
• She recognized that girl, who was the actress Bai Zhi involved in the previous scandal with Zhao Qichen in the TV drama "Chang Ge".
• It appeared that this girl was more obedient and knew better how to please him than she did.
