C23 It Feels Good to be Loved

"Thank you …" "Director Lee!" Chu Qingyan smiled at him weakly. She couldn't bear to see him worry for her.

"There's no need to be so polite. It's good that you're fine!" With a sigh of relief, he followed by her side, repeatedly warning her not to speak and to rest properly.

The nurse didn't know about the relationship between Chu Qingyan and Lee Jingyu. When they arrived at the ward, she instructed Lee Jingyu to carry her from the bed to the bed.

"Uh, no …"

Before he finished, Lee Jingyu had already picked up Chu Qingyan.

Her heavy arms were strong, and she felt as light as a bird in his hands.

"Thank you." Smelling the faint fragrance on Lee Jingyu's body again, Chu Qingyan's face turned red and her heart started pounding. Although there was an oxygen tube in her nose, she was still unable to breathe.

"You've already said thank you many times, I'm tired of hearing it!" Lee Jingyu gently put Chu Qingyan on the bed and helped the nurse to cover her with a towel.

As she laid down on the bed, Chu Qingyan finally felt alright.

"Director Lee, sorry for troubling you today. It's getting late, let's go back quickly!"

"I'm not going back tonight. I'll stay here with you." As he spoke, he sat back on the bed and patted the hard bed. "I'm worried about you alone."

His words made Chu Qingyan want to cry. She sniffed and forced the tears back.

"Director Lee, can you please take out the phone in my bag? I'll call my husband and have him accompany me."

Even if Kang Wenyuan wouldn't come, she didn't want Lee Jingyu to stay.

"Isn't he on a business trip? I'm afraid he won't be able to return until tomorrow."

After dialing Kang Wenyuan's number, Chu Qingyan heard the mechanical female voice saying repeatedly, "The user you have dialed has turned off. The user you have dialled will be notified later …"

Her heart turned cold before she hung up the phone.

Chu Qingyan didn't have any requests for Kang Wenyuan. She only wanted to stay by his side when she needed him, but … He could not do this small thing.

Chu Qingyan had never been so disappointed with her marriage.

She and Kang Wenyuan were more like a resident under a roof than a couple.

Even if Kang Wenyuan didn't travel, he would try his best to avoid meeting her.

She no longer saw him when she got up in the morning. At noon, they ate at work at the office, and at night, he usually didn't come home until early in the morning.

She wondered if he was really busy. Maybe he didn't want to meet her.

On weekends, he was never home, and Chu Qingyan never asked him where he had been.

She and he each had their own lives, their own jobs, and they really did not interfere with each other.

"What's wrong? The phone can't be reached?"

Lee Jingyu asked worriedly as he stared at Chu Qingyan's lonely and sad face.

Although she didn't want to tell Lee Jingyu the truth, her nose was sore and her eyes were red as she said, "The phone is off."

"Don't cry, don't cry, I'll stay here with you."

Lee Jingyu hurriedly took out a tissue from his pocket to wipe Chu Qingyan's face.

Inadvertently, tears had already begun gushing out from her reddened eyes, one after another, converging onto the wound in her heart.

When Chu Qingyan was at her weakest, it was this man who had only met her a few times. He was drenched in tears as he lightly caressed her face with a cold and icy expression.

"Thank you …" "Director Lee."

Chu Qingyan's hand reached out to grab a tissue, but he dodged it.

He sat on the edge of the bed and focused on her. He gently said, "Lie down and don't move. I'll help you wipe it."

Chu Qingyan seemed to be possessed and did not move, obediently allowing him to wipe her face.

"Thank you …" Perhaps it was the effect of the anesthetic on her nerves, but she had lost most of her ability to speak and could only repeat her thanks.

Lee Jingyu could wipe tears for Chu Qingyan without any distractions, but she couldn't accept it without any distractions. The feeling of palpitation became more and more intense as time went on.

Chu Qingyan's emotions finally stabilized and her tears stopped pouring out.

Lee Jingyu wiped away the tears on her face and said seriously, "Chu Qingyan, I'm going to warn you again. You're not allowed to say thank you, and you're not allowed to call me Director Lee. I treat you as a friend, but you're not grateful. I'm going to be angry."

He purposely put on a straight face, making his long and narrow phoenix eyes wide open. His mouth was also pressed into a firm straight line. He looked very imposing, and was not to be looked down upon.

"Lee Jingyu, don't be angry. I definitely won't thank you."

Chu Qingyan smiled at him ingratiatingly. Lee Jingyu's facial muscles loosened and he also smiled.
