Chapter 1184: Chapter 1184 No Exception
“Yes! I’m doing pretty well now. I’ve been involved in many rescue missions, and my life has found new meaning again!”
Xia Mengjiao nodded emphatically, “Right, Jian Dan is inside!”
“Jian? You mean Jian Dan?”
“Yes!”
“Did you two come here together?”
“Yes!”
“Here for fun?”
“No, we’re here looking for someone!”
“Oh! But running into each other here is fate, we must catch up properly.”
“Sure! But we’ll have to wait until Jian Dan’s health improves!”
“What’s wrong with Jian Dan? I’ll go in and see her!” Qian Zihao had already stood up as he spoke.
“No need!” Xia Mengjiao quickly stood up to stop him, “It’s not very convenient right now!”
“Hmm?”
“It’s just that Jian Dan has just fallen asleep, so… and besides, she’s not really having any problems now.”
“Since that’s the case, I’ll see her another time. As long as she’s alright, that’s what matters!”
“Yes, yes!” Xia Mengjiao comforted herself internally—how could they go in at a time like this?
After chatting a bit more, they exchanged contact information, and Qian Zihao went back to his duties, while Xia Mengjiao returned to the sick room only after Qian Zihao had left.
By the time Xia Mengjiao returned, Jian Dan was already asleep.
“Xia Mengjiao, take care of Jian Jian for me, I’ll be right back!” Chu Liyuan said as he adjusted Jian Dan’s blanket.
“Okay!”
Chu Liyuan took one last reluctant glance at the sleeping Jian Dan on the hospital bed before he left.
After Chu Liyuan left, he took a helicopter directly back to the mine…
“Mr. Chu, why have you returned? Is Jian Dan okay?”
“Yes, she’s fine. Your wife’s looking after her!
I’ve come back because there are some matters I need to handle!”
“Hmm?” Li Jing was filled with confusion since he had already taken care of most things.
Without saying more, Chu Liyuan went straight to find Li Wanqing.
Originally, Li Jing wanted to follow, but Chu Liyuan stopped him.
“Chu Li, you’re back?” When Li Wanqing saw Chu Liyuan, a sweet smile blossomed on her face immediately.
“I have something I want to discuss with you!” Chu Liyuan’s tone was cold.
“What?”
“Why did you say those things to Jian Jian?” Chu Liyuan asked directly without beating around the bush.
“Heh~ the little girl is really good at tattling!” Li Wanqing scoffed, “I only spoke the truth. She’s nothing but trouble around you, incapable of assisting you!”
“What Jian Jian and I are like is not up to anyone else to judge. You have been a great help to me at work, and you risked your life to save me in the mines—I am grateful for that. But it is merely gratitude, I have never felt anything more than friendship towards you.” If Chu Liyuan couldn’t tell that Li Wanqing had feelings for him, he would be a fool.
“You’re just taken by her youth, enjoying the novelty of it. But once that wears off, will you still like her?”
“My relationship with Jian Jian is not something I need to explain to you, nor is it explainable.
What I can say is, no one is allowed to bully Jian Jian in my presence, no one!”
“Hehe~ Easy for you to say. It’s all fine until something happens. I don’t believe that if one day your Grandpa and Jian Dan have a conflict, you would side with Jian Dan?”
“I would not!”
“I knew it!”
“What I mean by ‘I would not’ is that such a situation will never arise because Grandpa and Jian Jian will never be at odds. He, like me, will only spoil Jian Jian.”
“What makes you so sure?”
Chu Liyuan merely smiled and remained silent. What were the chances of those two ganging up against him, let alone having any dispute, especially with Granny mediating between them?
“Wan Qing, it’s no longer appropriate for us to continue working together!”
“Are you really going to drive me away now?” Li Wanqing could hardly believe her ears, “I’ve been by your side for a full 20 years, and you’re just going to send me away so easily?”
“Jian Jian is my untouchable red line!”
“Hahaha~ I gave all my youth to Qin Corporation, to you, and you want to dismiss me just like that?”
“What do you want? I can give it to you!”
“All I ever wanted was you!”
“You know that’s impossible!”
“I never expected to have you. All I wanted was to be by your side, and that was enough for me!”
“I’m sorry, but even that is something I cannot grant. I will never disregard Jian Jian’s feelings.”
“Then at the very least, don’t make me leave Qin Corporation.”
After listening to Li Wanqing, Chu Liyuan thought for a moment and then prepared to leave…
“Are you really that heartless?” Li Wanqing yelled after the retreating figure of Chu Liyuan.
“Fine!” Chu Liyuan didn’t look back as he uttered that word, then left without any further delay…
