After that, Han Yifeng only remembered that he had gone to drink, and then sped all the way on the road. The pain that weighed on his chest was momentarily subdued by the reckless erosion of the cold winds and rain. He then fell asleep although he was not too sure how he lost consciousness.
In his daze, he only felt himself being carried up, and then he could smell the faint fragrance on the person. It was nice and made him want to cling onto the person. They were a pair of delicate and slender hands that were gentle. It definitely was not Secretary w.a.n.g’s pair of rough hands.
That person wore a light beige windbreaker and had long, beautiful hair that fell past the shoulders. Han Yifeng wanted to open his eyes for a better look, yet he could only see a blurry figure. Despite not having a way to see clearly who it was, that familiar air from her was enough for him to be sure who that was.
“Xiaye… Xiaye… I’m sorry. Forgive me…”
He held her hand and softly begged, his eyes welling up with hot tears. The sadness surpressed in his heart rushed out as the grip on her hand tightened while he held her gentle little hand.
“Director Xi, he drank a lot… He’s having a fever. The temperature is very high. I’m afraid it’s very serious.”
Ji Zitong steadied Han Yifeng as she turned to look at Xi Xiaye who was still sitting in the car with her head lowered and looking at her laptop screen.
When she heard Ji Zitong, Xi Xiaye slowly looked up. She rolled her car window down and glanced over. Indeed, she saw that Ji Zitong was having slight difficulties holding the tall Han Yifeng up. She could also vaguely hear Han Yifeng calling out her name.
She could not help but sigh softly. She wondered how he had made his way to the Grand Waves Villa area. Then, she recalled that it should be his son’s full moon banquet today. What was he up to being so drunk and looking like this?
Xi Xiaye’s exquisite face flashed with a plain smile. After considering the humid and cold night, she thought about it, then said, “We’ll find a nearby clinic and send him over. Get someone to watch over him after that.”
She did not want to say too much, so she just continued going through the materials on her laptop.
“Okay!” Ji Zitong answered, and then waved to the two black-suited bodyguards on the side for help. Meanwhile, Xi Xiaye already told the chauffeur to continue driving.
She had been out for work till quite late that day. Afterward, she even made a trip to the office to get some materials. It was going to be a break in the next two days, so she could finally relax.
The car continued to drive ahead. When it drove past Han Yifeng, he opened his misty eyes and took a look at her, yet it was only a split instant, then she was gone.
With only a blurry trace of the car gradually drowned in the swaying, windy rain, he did not catch a glimpse of anything in the end.
Inside the car, Xi Xiaye closed the window. After a while, she slowly looked up. Her cold gaze saw through the window as she watched the streetlights that pa.s.sed by. A faint mockery flashed on her face. At the same time, many feelings lingered in her heart.
After a long while, she caressed her baby b.u.mp as she spoke softly, “Baby, let’s not think about anything. We’ll be good and wait for Father’s return. He isn’t home, and Mother’s not used to it either. I don’t feel secure. Are you feeling the same way?”
As if it could hear Xi Xiaye’s thoughts, the little thing in her belly joyfully moved again.
“But, without him around, Mummy can still take good care of you. Just a few months more till we meet, so you have to be good. If you’re a boy, I hope that you’ll grow up to be like your father. He’s very handsome and dashing. He can always charm your mother. If you’re a girl, you must grow up to be like me. Let your father dote on you. Your father and mother will definitely raise you well and give you a happy childhood. We’ll make sure you’re happier than either of us, okay?”
Upon hearing Xi Xiaye’s words, the little one in her belly seemed to kick even harder. The smile on Xi Xiaye’s face became extraordinarily gentle and her maternal glow showed.
She did not want to look into anything anymore. She just wanted to cherish the present and use the rest of her life to follow him in exchange for a life of peace. This sliver of hope was not too much, was it?
Inside a private hospital near the Grand Waves Villa area.
When Han Yifeng regained consciousness, it was already noon the next day. The first thing he did as he opened his eyes was to look around for that familiar figure, yet when he saw that it was Ji Zitong standing straight and professionally beside his bed, he was stunned. There was an indescribable disappointment in his eyes.
“CEO Han, you’re awake!” said Ji Zitong calmly with a formal expression. When she saw that Han Yifeng’s gaze was also cold, she kept her guard up.
“It’s you!”
Han Yifeng had seen Ji Zitong before. She was Xi Xiaye’s personal female bodyguard and had been with Xi Xiaye for quite a while now. Xi Xiaye would also attend some banquets once in a while with Ji Zitong always by her side. In fact, she looked quite skilled, creating a lasting impression on Han Yifeng.
“How are you feeling?” Ji Zitong asked in a tone that was not exactly considered friendly.
He looked at Ji Zitong for quite a while before nodding. He lifted a hand to prop his heavy head up. “Much better. How did I end up here?”
He was very sure that he had seen Xi Xiaye yesterday, but now…
“You drank too much and ran over to the Grand Waves Villa area. Then, you had a fever and fainted on the roadside. Our Chairman’s wife pa.s.sed by and saved you. She told us to send you here,” Ji Zitong calmly replied.
When Han Yifeng heard her response, his heart leaped and he quickly asked, “What about her? Where’s Xiaye? Where’s she now?”
“Missus is at home. CEO Han, I hope that you can conduct yourself with dignity. Missus is Chairman Mu’s wife. She even has Chairman Mu’s child now. If you have no sense of priorities and someone with ill intentions is aware, not only will you be misunderstood, but you’ll also hurt Missus.” Ji Zitong had obviously said all of this because of Mu Yuchen’s advice from before.
Yesterday, Han Yifeng had called out for Xi Xiaye loudly. If someone with ill intentions found out about it, they would definitely kick up a fuss, especially the paparazzi from the media. Chairman Mu had especially told her beforehand not to let Xi Xiaye be in touch with those people as there would just be a lot of trouble.
“What are you trying to say?”
When Ji Zitong said that, Han Yifeng’s face sank and he frowned at her.
