Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After breakfast, Jiang Cheng suddenly received a call. A few moments later, he informed Du Jiuyuan about it. 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂

“Madam, CEO Ji has been hospitalized.”

“Why? What’s his current condition?” Du Jiuyuan was certain that she no longer had any feelings for Ji Jingchen. However, after five years, she had formed a habit of caring for him. It would take some time for her to give this up.

“I have no further details yet. I was informed that he suddenly collapsed during a meeting. Madam, do you want to go visit him?” Jiang Cheng asked tentatively.

“Give me ten minutes.”

...

Ji Jingchen was directly sent to a private hospital under the Ji corporation’s name. Gu Xingchen and Lu Ziang also rushed over immediately.

“What happened? I was informed he had a bleeding stomach.” Gu Xingchen first went to ask the doctor before entering the ward.

The gastric problem from the feast was not actually the main cause. Ji Jingchen’s stomach itself had an inherent problem. But, the spicy meal reignited it again.

“I have been eating irregularly, that’s why.” Ji Jingchen started the drip with one hand and quickly clicked on his tablet with the other.

He was truly a workaholic!

“Du Jiuyuan really intended to run away from getting married! I’m going to give her a piece of my mind!” Lu Ziang said in a cheerful tone.

He was rushing for an appointment when the incident happened, which was not in Hong Kong city.

“Are you very free? Do you want me to arrange a blind date banquet for you?” Ji Jingchen put down the tablet in his hand and glared at him coldly.

“No, no, I just heard that you were hospitalized and came to see you immediately!” Lu Ziang hurriedly explained.

“I’ll arrange a blind date banquet for you! Your father has been waiting for you to get married!”

“No, no, please don’t. I still have work to catch up on. Goodbye...” Lu Ziang was scared. He quickly got up and left the ward without looking back.

Old Master Lu had been planning a blind date banquet for Lu Ziang, but he could not get a grip of him every time. This was no secret in Hong Kong city.

After Lu Ziang left, Ji Jingchen continued to flip through the relevant documents of the acquisition he was working on. Gu Xingchen went forward and took his tablet away.

“Don’t look at it anymore. Rest well. Your health is more important.” Gu Xingchen switched off the tablet and placed it somewhere out of Ji Jingchen’s reach.

This workaholic truly deserved a good rest.

“How’s the investigation of the mountain fire incident going?” Ji Jingchen glanced at Gu Xingchen and asked.

“The local investigation is almost done. There were many casualties. There was a village in the mountains. The people didn’t even have time to run away. You guys were lucky,” Gu Xingchen pulled out a chair beside the bed and sat down.

Ji Jingchen suddenly coughed violently. Gu Xingchen poured him some water and reached out to pat his back to calm his breathing.

“Why are you coughing so badly?”

“I’m fine...”

The door to the ward opened. Du Jiuyuan and Jiang Cheng walked in one after the other.

“CEO Ji, please call me if you need anything.” Jiang Cheng brought Du Jiuyuan over and walked away.

Gu Xingchen placed the cup of water on the table. “I still have something to do at the police station. I’ll come back to see you later.” Gu Xingchen got up, nodded to Du Jiuyuan, and left quickly.

Only Du Jiuyuan and Ji Jingchen were left in the ward. The atmosphere was a little awkward.

“Why are you here?” Ji Jingchen fainted from the pain and did not instruct anyone to come visit.

“Your secretary, Jiang Cheng, informed me about your hospitalization.” Du Jiuyuan saw Ji Jingchen’s pale face and felt a little sorry for him.

This was just a habit that she had developed over the years. She just needed to slowly change it.

Du Jiuyuan was holding a thermos flask that she had found in the apartment after searching for a long time.

“I brought some porridge. Do you want some?” Du Jiuyuan put down the thermos flask and asked.

“Auntie made it?” Ji Jingchen was informed of Du Jiuyuan’s every move.

Du Jiuyuan did not reply. She just opened the thermos flask, took out a small bowl and filled half of it with porridge.

It was not prepared by her aunt. Her aunt only made Du Jiuyuan’s favorite sweet porridge this morning.

Ji Jingchen did not eat spicy food, did not like sweet food, and did not eat sour food either. In short, it was not easy to serve him any type of food.

“I’m not eating it.” Ji Jingchen thought that Du Jiuyuan had tacitly agreed, so he was very decisive.

“I made this.” Du Jiuyuan placed the bowl within Ji Jingchen’s reach. Then, she pulled Gu Xingchen’s chair a little further away and sat on it.

Ji Jingchen picked up the small bowl. “My stomach hurts. The doctor said it’s best to only eat porridge.” Ji Jingchen finished half the bowl of porridge in one gulp.

Du Jiuyuan did not get to speak with the doctor yet, so she did not know what was going on with Ji Jingchen. She got up, retrieved the bowl, and looked for a place to wash the dishes. She went to the doctor’s office on the way.

“The area of his stomach bleeding is very large. If he was brought here any later, his life would be in danger.” The doctor’s words made Du Jiuyuan feel even more uncomfortable.

It must have been her aunt’s spicy food that hurt his stomach.

When Du Jiuyuan returned to the ward from washing the plates, Ji Jingchen told her that there was actually a washroom in the room.
