Chapter 20 Did She Run Away?

  • Han Li remained silent, bowing his head.
  • "When she arrives, have her come to my office," Jiang Yihan ordered coldly, absentmindedly tapping his fingers on the desk.
  • "Yes."
  • However, for two consecutive days, Han Li didn't see Lin Fei in the company. No one answered the phone when he called, and when he asked the other members of the secretarial department, they had no information about Lin Fei's whereabouts.
  • Han Li looked at the man in front of him, emitting a gloomy and fierce aura, and couldn't help but feel nervous.
  • Meanwhile, the other members of the secretarial department lowered their heads like ostriches, trying to minimize their presence.
  • At this moment, Jiang Yihan stood in Lin Fei's position, gazing at a small doll next to the computer. It appeared as if the doll was Lin Fei, and his sinister gaze seemed to penetrate through her.
  • Excellent! Very good! She actually dared to run away like this!
  • Jiang Yihan's brows slightly furrowed, revealing his restraint. His gaze shifted slightly, and something under the cactus caught his attention.
  • He reached out and took the item that was pressed underneath. A cruel glint flashed in Jiang Yihan's pitch-black eyes. The next second, he crumpled the paper card into a ball and threw it into the nearby trash can.
  • Meanwhile, Lin Fei, lying in the hospital, was completely unaware of all this.
  • When she opened her eyes, all she saw was the white ceiling. The scent in the air was not the familiar smell of milk, but the unpleasant odor of disinfectant.
  • Lin Fei moved slightly and realized that her body felt heavy. Looking down, she saw two small figures, one blue and one pink, sleeping soundly on her legs.
  • Weiwei, still drowsy, sat up and rubbed her eyes. When she saw Lin Fei awake, her eyes lit up, and she crawled over. "Mommy, you're awake."
  • "Weiwei, how did I end up in the hospital?" Lin Fei wanted to raise her hand to touch Weiwei's head, but she found an IV drip attached to the back of her hand, so she used her other hand instead.
  • "Mommy, you were sick."
  • Weiwei's little face was filled with worry as she reached out to touch Lin Fei's forehead.
  • Huiyi, who had gone out to buy breakfast and returned, saw Lin Fei awake and approached with joy. "You finally woke up. You scared us."
  • "What happened to me?"
  • Lin Fei still felt dizzy. She remembered that she was sleeping at home, so how did she end up in the hospital?
  • Huiyi sighed and said, "You had a high fever and were unconscious for two days. The doctor said it was due to overwork and catching a cold in the rain."
  • High fever? Unconscious for two days?
  • Lin Fei was still a little confused.
  • "Fei'er, you don't know, before I arrived, you were lying in bed, and the two little ones were imitating the TV, using wet towels to cool you down," Aunt Hui said, rubbing Vivian's head with satisfaction.
  • Vivian sighed, "I should have called 911."
  • Lin Fei smiled and tilted her head to look at Vivian, praising, "That's already great!"
  • "Aunt Hui, where is my phone?" Lin Fei realized that she had been unconscious for two days without notifying the company, and she wanted to call Huang Jing to let her know.
  • You see, being absent from work for two days would result in a deduction in salary, and her salary had already been deducted for a month. She didn't want it to be deducted again next month.
  • Aunt Hui took out her phone from her bag and handed it to her. Lin Fei pressed a button and found that it was out of battery and turned off.
  • After charging it, she turned it on and received a call from Han Li.
  • Lin Fei's hand trembled and she quickly answered, "Assistant Han."
  • "Secretary Lin, where are you? Hurry back to the company," Han Li's voice sounded slightly urgent.
  • "What's wrong? I had a high fever and was unconscious for two days. I just woke up in the hospital. I want to ask for leave from you so that I won't be marked as absent from work."
  • Listening to Han Li's tone, Lin Fei felt a little anxious. Could it be that something significant happened at the company during her two days of unconsciousness?
  • Well, whatever happened at the company had nothing to do with her, as long as they didn't deduct her money.
  • Upon hearing this, the other party fell silent. After a few seconds, Han Li's voice came through, "Which hospital are you in?"
  • "St. Ren Hospital."
  • Lin Fei's voice was still a bit hoarse, and her illness didn't seem fake.
  • "Then rest well."
  • With that, Han Li hung up the phone.
  • Does this mean the leave request was successful? They probably won't deduct her money, right?
  • Putting the phone aside, Lin Fei noticed that Jin Jin was also awake. Pouting her lips, the little one sat obediently at the end of the bed, watching her with round, blinking eyes.
  • This was the first time this little one didn't jump on her.
  • "Jin Jin, come here."
  • Lin Fei reached out a hand to hold her, and Jin Jin quickly leaned over and reached out her little hand to hold it, humming and lying on Lin Fei's body.
  • "Mama, are you feeling better now?"
  • "Yes, Mama will get better soon." Lin Fei bent her finger and gently touched Jin Jin's nose. "Why did you need Mama to hold you to come to Mama today?"
  • Jin Jin pouted and looked up at her with her little face. "Mama is sick, so I can't jump on Mama."
  • "You're so good."
  • Lin Fei touched her little face.
  • The two little ones were like angels sent from heaven to heal her.
  • "Oh, by the way, I forgot to bring back your medicine. The doctor said you need to take it after you wake up," Aunt Hui said.
  • Aunt Hui suddenly remembered this and slapped her forehead. "Here, there's some porridge. You haven't eaten anything for two days while you were unconscious."
  • "Okay, thank you Aunt Hui. I really owe you this time. Now that I'm better, I'll cook a table full of dishes to thank you," Lin Fei sincerely expressed her gratitude.
  • Within her capabilities, cooking a meal with her own hands was the only way she could show her appreciation. If it weren't for Aunt Hui, she really didn't know how things would have turned out.
  • "Alright," Aunt Hui smiled kindly and didn't refuse. "You rest first, I'll go get your medicine."
  • "I want to go too!" Jin Jin sat up straight, raising his little hand with all his might.
  • "I'll stay here with Mommy," Wei Wei also wanted to go along, but she turned her head and looked at Lin Fei, knowing that Mommy was sick and needed someone to accompany her!
  • "You two shouldn't go, there will be a lot of people there," Aunt Hui gently advised.
  • "I want to help Mommy and make her feel better," Jin Jin persisted, raising his little hand.
  • Wei Wei nodded in agreement.
  • "Okay! Let Jin Jin go then!"
  • Aunt Hui couldn't bear to reject the little one's good intentions, so she reluctantly looked at Lin Fei.
  • Lin Fei also couldn't bear it!
  • But thinking that Aunt Hui would be there to watch over them, there shouldn't be any problems. She carefully instructed Jin Jin not to run around and allowed him to go with Aunt Hui.
  • In the hospital room, only Wei Wei and Lin Fei were left. It instantly became much quieter. Lin Fei felt a bit hungry and brought over the porridge to eat.
  • Perhaps due to her illness and weakness, Lin Fei's hand suddenly went weak and the spoon fell to the ground with a clatter. She frowned, "Ah, I'm so clumsy!"
  • Before she could even get up, Wei Wei had already jumped to the side of the bed and half-crouched on the floor, searching for the spoon.
  • "Mommy, don't move, I'll pick it up!" Wei Wei said, understandingly.
  • Lin Fei looked at her sensible son, feeling warm in her heart. She watched anxiously as he searched, and reminded, "Be careful, Wei Wei, don't hit your head!"
  • "Okay!"
  • Just as Wei Wei's voice fell, the door was pushed open from the outside.
  • Thinking it was Aunt Hui and the others returning, Lin Fei didn't even lift her head and said, "Aunt Hui, Jin Jin, aren't there many people? You came back so quickly?"
  • No one responded.
  • A moment passed.
  • Lin Fei noticed that the chill in the air was somewhat unusual, not like the coolness of early autumn, but more like the icy cold of winter. She looked up and unexpectedly saw someone in front of her.
  • Startled, her hand trembled and almost spilled the porridge.
  • Turning her head to look at Wei Wei, she saw that he had already picked up the spoon and was about to get up. Without thinking too much, Lin Fei quickly pressed down on his fluffy head and bent down to stuff him under the bed.
  • Without exchanging glances with Wei Wei, she pretended to stay calm and stood up straight, smoothly adjusting her hair. However, her face couldn't help but turn pale as she looked at the person in front of her.
  • "Am I frightening?" Jiang Yihan dragged a chair and sat down, crossing his long and slender legs. In his narrow and deep black eyes, there was the usual icy coldness.
  • It was not just frightening, it was absolutely terrifying!
  • "Not... just a bit unexpected," Lin Fei forced herself to calm down.
  • Fortunately, Jin Jin, who was causing a commotion, had gone out. But what if Wei Wei came out from under the bed? What if he called out "Mom"? It would all be exposed!
  • She had to quickly figure out a way to handle this imposing figure. She must not let them meet, otherwise, with Wei Wei's face, everything would be impossible to hide!
  • "Mom..."
  • Suddenly, a shout froze Lin Fei in place...
