C12 You Better Lie Still and Listen to Me

Gu Zichen's sword-like eyebrows were slightly raised and his forehead was twisted into a knot. Suddenly, a feeling of unease arose in his heart.

As he approached the bed, he turned the body over to look at it. The exquisite doll like face in front of him had two unusual shades of crimson. His pale lips were tightly shut, and his body was still trembling.

Gu Zichen reached out his hand and found that Xia Anran's forehead was frighteningly hot. It turned out to be a fever.

He picked her up from the bed and hurried downstairs.

"Madame has a fever. Take her to the hospital."

"Hey, Young Master, call Doctor Shen home. I'm going to call Doctor Shen."

"It's too late, I'm afraid that my wife will burn herself silly. She was already foolish enough …"

Gu Zichen hurriedly ran to the garage to drive. After throwing the woman in his arms onto the back seat, he didn't want to waste any time. He sat in the driver's seat and stepped on the throttle, then the car shot out of the garage like an arrow leaving the bow.

Glancing at the woman in the rearview mirror, he wondered how long it had been since he'd been in such a hurry. Damn it! This woman had caused him to feel an anxiety that he shouldn't have. It was as if his many years of cultivation had been completely obliterated.

The car drove at an incredible speed. Along the way, they ran past countless red lights. The traffic police could clearly see the license plate numbers of the cars and the Gu family's cars but pretended not to have seen them, so they could only think of a way to inform their superiors to eliminate the Rolls Royce's illegal record.

Who would dare to block a Gu family car?

The journey of thirty minutes was only ten minutes away by Gu Zichen.

The Rolls Royce stopped steadily in front of the hospital. Gu Zichen got out of the car with a cold expression and carried the woman who was lying down in the back seat out. He then walked towards the hospital calmly.

Entering the hospital through the front door caused a commotion. In the entire River City, no one who didn't know Gu Zichen was born yet.

As soon as the news of Gu Zichen coming to the hospital got out, all the experts who usually only drank green tea in the office rushed out.

They entered an advanced ward. Xia Anran, who was carrying Gu Zichen, put her on the bed. She turned around and looked at the doctor, who was blocking the door.

"Cure this person for me." After he said that, he stood up and walked to the side to close his eyes to rest.

The scene was quite comical. The experts who normally looked up to the highest of their abilities, yet never revealed anything, were now extremely busy for the sake of a woman who only had a simple fever.

An older looking expert with a white beard said to Gu Zichen, "Miss Xia is just having a normal fever. It's probably because of her emotional upheavals in the last few days. She's not a big problem."

"If there's nothing serious, why is he still not waking up?"

Gu Zichen glanced at the expert indifferently. With the powerful atmosphere and the cold tone, the expert couldn't help but to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

The white beard immediately became pale. He carefully glanced at the unreachable man in front of him and said submissively, "It's a bit far-fetched to wake up the patient all of a sudden, but she'll wake up soon after a good rest. Chairman Gu, don't worry too much." With that, he looked at the man before him timidly, afraid that his uncertain answer would cause Gu Zichen to be dissatisfied.

"Got it, you guys go down first. I'll just watch from here."

"Okay, Director Gu."

Hearing that he could leave, the expert left the ward with a brisk wind under his feet.

The sickroom immediately became quiet, leaving only Gu Zichen, who was leaning against the white wall with his arms crossed, and Xia Anran, who was on the sickbed.

Looking at the woman on the bed, a hint of confusion flashed across Gu Zichen's cold eyes from time to time. Her skinny body was curled up. Although it was clear to the bottom, there was still an obvious bitterness that was contained deep within it.

She probably needed a sense of security, something she couldn't see.

"Mom, don't leave me … "Anran is very obedient, why don't you want me …" Gu Zichen's train of thoughts was pulled back to reality as he muttered to himself.

Xia Anran was talking in her sleep, sentence after sentence, like a child who couldn't find his way home, lonely and helpless.

Gu Zichen subconsciously reached out his hand to pat her forehead, then carefully tucked her in.

Seeing that Xia Anran was still having nightmares and her small face was squeezed into a ball, an indescribable pain arose in his heart. He couldn't help but reach out his hand to smooth her wrinkled forehead.

This woman was too similar to Qing Qing.

He softly laid on the bed and awkwardly held her in his arms, patting her on the back.

He glanced at the tightly shut door of the ward out of the corner of his eye. He didn't want anyone to see him being so gentle to a woman. Although it was understandable, he still didn't want others to know that he had another side to himself.

Although this Qingqing substitute was a bit mischievous and often made him anxious, since she was his person, he would protect her and ensure her safety.

The woman in his arms gradually quieted down under his extraordinary comforting. Slowly, even sounds of breathing could be heard. Unexpectedly, Gu Zichen also fell asleep at the hospital, while they slept in each other's arms.

The night had always been long. The wind blew outside the window, but inside the room, it was a peaceful and cozy scene.

It was early in the morning, and the sun was beginning to rise in the east.

Xia Anran opened her eyes. The feeling of being torn apart caused her to hug her head tightly as she sucked in two breaths of cold air. The clean white walls and the faint smell of disinfectant were a little familiar to her.

Is it a hospital?

"Ah —" She was so shocked that she almost fell out of bed.

"What a stupid woman." Gu Zichen thought in his heart. He reached out his hand to pull Xia Anran back from the ground. He said coldly, "What are you screaming for?"

Xia Anran looked at Gu Zichen blankly, "Did you send me to the hospital?"

Gu Zichen sneered and ridiculed, "Are you cured or have you lost your mind? You don't even know that you're sick, yet you're still going to faint waiting for someone to bring you to the hospital? " He paused for a moment before suddenly moving closer to the small face in front of him. "Who else do you think is interested in you other than me?"

Saying that, Gu Zichen sat up like a noble young master. His shirt was wrinkled from a night's sleep, but it had a unique lazy feeling. Unknowingly, one of his buttons had been opened, revealing his sexy collarbone.

His actions caused Xia Anran to panic a little. Her mind was in a mess, and she couldn't quite make out what he was saying.

Her instinctive fear made her afraid of this man, afraid of what he would do to her in the hospital room.

"You'd better stay in bed. I'll go out and make a phone call." Gu Zichen stood up and got off the bed as he spoke.
