Chapter 1239 - As If A Century 3
1239 As If A Century 3
Su Nan sighed, and then she forced a bitter laugh. “I’m afraid that’d be an extravagant hope. She’s been looking for so long, and then…”
At this juncture, Su Nan suddenly stopped. She was stunned as if she suddenly remembered something. Her beautiful eyes froze as she suddenly stopped what she was doing and gripped Xi Xiaye.
“Xiaye!”
Su Nan’s sudden reaction surprised Xi Xiaye who subconsciously looked at her. Upon seeing her reaction, she frowned. “What’s wrong?”
Su Nan breathed in and held Xi Xiaye tightly as she said, “I think I saw Morrison here a few days ago He was that tall bodyguard by Qi Feng’s side. Mr. Ah Bo had just settled us in when I saw him appear in this hospital in a rush. I wonder if he came to see Mr. Ah Bo.”
Xi Xiaye instantly frowned. “Are you saying you saw Morrison? He appeared at the hospital here?”
Su Nan nodded. “Yes, I think I didn’t see wrongly. After that, Ah Bo rushed back to New York. Did something happen?”
“I didn’t hear about it. Mu Yuchen never quite tells me much about these things, so I can’t help out either. This time, he’s actually come because he has some things to attend to,” Xi Xiaye muttered.
“I’m really worried if Qi Feng’s up to something. Morrison is his helpful aide. The two of you have to be careful,” Su Nan said a little worriedly, “I wanted to tell Mr. Ah Bo before this, but I couldn’t seem to get through to his phone after that. He was probably on the plane, and after that, I forgot about it.”
“Mmm, I got it. Does Ah Bo know about this yet?” Xi Xiaye asked.
Su Nan thought about it, then shook her head and said, “I’m not too sure. Perhaps not. I saw that Morrison was acting mysteriously too. I was quite worried if he was going to do something to Mr. Ah Bo.”
Ah Bo!
Xi Xiaye had met Ah Bo before and knew that he was one of Mu Yuchen’s competent assistants, mainly helming all of his matters in America. Mu Yuchen trusted him very much, and he was loyal and capable. If Morrison had come to target Ah Bo, he might be planning on doing something to Ah Bo!
Or was it to Mu Yuchen?
When she thought about this, Xi Xiaye started to feel uneasy and did not quite hear what her friend had to say afterward.
Later on, Xi Xiaye let one of the bodyguards send Su Nan home. When she returned to her bedroom, the clock on the wall showed that it was midnight.
Mu Yuchen was on the phone with someone, so Xi Xiaye did not bother him. She went straight to the bathroom…
When she was done with her shower, and the two of them lay down, she could not help but say, “Su Nan said that she saw Qi Feng’s assistant, Morrison, show up here. Did you know about it?”
When she said that, Mu Yuchen paused. Moments after he pulled over the blanket to cover them and then held her with one arm, he said in a lowered voice, “Don’t worry. They won’t be able to do anything. Ah Bo found out something over here, so he probably came to handle those things.”
“What is it? Is it related to Qi Feng?” Xi Xiaye propped herself up and looked at him doubtfully.
Mu Yuchen’s profound gaze flashed with something hard to predict as he smiled. “Obviously, it’s something that makes Qi Feng uneasy.”
Makes Qi Feng uneasy?
Xi Xiaye raised her brows, but she knew not to ask more after that, She did not want to know too much since she felt assured to leave these things to him. However, Qi Feng was someone with a lot of tricks up his sleeves. He definitely would not be just sitting idly and resign to his fate!
Early the next morning, when Xi Xiaye woke up, Mu Yuchen was already gone. The temperature beside her had cooled down too. He had left a note, saying that he would need to leave for a day or two and that he would return either the next day or at night on the day after. This was something they had discussed, so Xi Xiaye was not surprised.
After having breakfast, she went straight to the hospital where Su Nan was. Ruan Heng was going to have a routine check-up, so Professor Harry was present too.
Xi Xiaye knew that it was probably Mu Yuchen who had called him over. Last night’s call seemed to have been with Professor Harry.
Professor Harry looked like a very humble middle-aged man. He was polite and easygoing.
He did a thorough check-up for Ruan Heng and then gave some brain treatment to Ruan Heng. When he was wheeled back to the ward, Ruan Heng looked a little pale.
When she saw Su Nan’s dazed expression, Xi Xiaye asked worriedly, “Professor Harry, when is he going to regain consciousness? Didn’t you say that his body was fine already?”
Professor Harry looked much more relaxed now as he closed the medical record in his hand and spoke in fluent Mandarin, “The blood clot in his head has been cleared up. Theoretically, he should be waking up soon, so don’t worry. We’ll be giving him more nutrition intake in the next two days, so he should be able to wake up soon. When we were doing the check-up, he had very strong consciousness which is a good sign.”
After he said all that, Xi Xiaye felt more relieved.
However, Su Nan was still looking worriedly at Ruan Heng who continued to sleep.
“Thank you, Professor Harry,” Xi Xiaye said politely.
“No worries. Don’t worry too much. According to the current situation, he should be waking up in the next few days. Perhaps it’s because he’s been sleeping for so long that he still needs some time to get used to it for now. When he wakes up, all of his bodily functions will be able to return to normal, and soon after he does, he’ll be able to recover quickly.”
“Alright, I’ve got it.”
…
Xi Xiaye practically accompanied Su Nan for two whole days. They did not leave Ruan Heng’s side in the day time, and at night, she went back to Su Nan’s place with her. When they had some free time, the two of them went around to the shopping malls nearby. Su Nan bought some things for Xiao Xi and wanted Xi Xiaye to bring it home for her. Meanwhile, Xi Xiaye bought some toys for her two sons too.
After walking around, their arms were full of bags. Even the two bodyguards who trailed after them had their hands full too.
When they were walking along the empty hallway to Ruan Heng’s ward, Su Nan suddenly suggested, “Xiaye, since we’ve got a chance, let’s have some fun. Chairman Mu’s only coming back tonight, right?”
“Mmm, he called this morning saying that he’s done handling his matters, and if he can’t make it back by tonight, it’ll be tomorrow morning,” Xi Xiaye said as she pushed the door open.
“Mmm, I’m so jealous of you two. Sometimes, I don’t wish for much. I just want to walk around with someone I love. That’s happiness too. I don’t wish for wealth. Take me for example. After Ruan Heng fell into a coma, I realized that I’ve been chasing after too many things before this, and they’ve become unimportant now.”
