Chapter 222 - Respecting Only Sister Xing

In the end he turned around and stomped to his luxurious bedroom. When he heard the alarm sound, he gritted his teeth and yelled, "Turn off that damn sound!"

Frightened, Little Zhao jerked and jumped up before he dashed around the room looking for the switch.

In the end, a smart idea struck him in a hurry. He poured some water out of the vase before the alarm stopped ringing.

Then, he collapsed on the sofa, completely drained.

Was this a rehearsal for waking his boss up?

He had to respect Sister Xing!

…

After settling the major worry at hand, Shen Fanxing started to make arrangements for the second major one. And that was to contact Xu Qingzhi for dinner tonight.

Xu Qingzhi was having coffee in her office while browsing the latest news online.

When Shen Fanxing called, she happened to chance upon an interesting piece of news.

"Fanxing, what's the matter?"

"Hey, you have to make time tonight. I need to bring you to meet someone."

Xu Qingzhi replied airily as she scrolled, "Sure. I have more free time recently. But who do you want me to meet?"

"He's my boyfriend."

"Okay, boyfriend…"

Xu Qingzhi repeated the word twice before regaining her senses. "Boyfriend?"

"Yeah."

"Fanxing… you're not going to wallow in despair, are you?" asked Xu Qingzhi after a long pause.

"You think I would have introduced him to you if I did so?"

"That's true." Xu Qingzhi nodded and replied, "Alright then. I'll be there tonight. I want to see who's the lucky guy! Oh right, I got someone to bring back a few lipsticks from France. I'll give you two tonight."

"Okay, let's meet after work and head there together."

"Okay…" answered Xu Qingzhi before glancing at the news article on the screen. She grinned and said," Have you read the news online? "

Shen Fanxing asked doubtfully, "What news?"

"Shen Qianrou fainted at the Su Corporation building."

Shen Fanxing paused before smirking. "Really?"

"Is she acting?" guessed Xu Qingzhi.

Shen Fanxing turned on her laptop and leaned back in her chair. Chuckling softly as she said, "Not entirely. After all that has happened over the past two days, it's understandable for her to faint after not eating."

Recalling how Shen Fanxing had purposely chosen to announce the news in the afternoon, Xu Qingzhi grinned.

"Seems like I do have to be mischievous at times."

Being able to plot against Shen Qianrou from afar and making her faint without showing her face, was considered a good move.

…

At the hospital.

Shen Qianrou had an IV drip, and it was already afternoon when she woke up.

Su Heng sat on the edge of the bed and the first thing he noticed was that she had woken up. He hurried to hold her hand.

"Qianrou, you're awake."

"Brother Heng… where is this place?" Shen Qianrou's voice was a little hoarse. Her eyes swept around the surroundings and she had guessed what was going on.

"You fainted just now. Why haven't you eaten for two days?"

Shen Qianrou's face was really pale and her eyes were welling with tears. It made his heart ache for her.

"Brother Heng, I… I couldn't contact you… You were still angry with me when you left. I thought you would ignore me forever…"

Tears streamed down her face.

Su Heng's face was full of pain as he reached out to wipe her tears. "Silly girl, you're thinking too much. It wasn't easy for us to be together. How can I give up on you so easily?"

"Then why haven't you answered my calls?"

"I'm busy at the company…"

Shen Qianrou stared at him with teary eyes, obviously not believing his words.

Su Heng sighed and carried on, "The photos that were exposed yesterday, had pictured a few investors who wanted to withdraw their investment… The directors of the company have been making a fuss…"
