When I met you - Part 2

By Nilala

 Unexpectedly, after so many years, he used several times the courage and perseverance of others to stand here and even " abduct " his precious daughter away.
    Xiao Zhiyuan smiled and said meaningfully: " What can money and status teach people? The ability to collect famous cars and watches? The appreciation for red wine and cigars? Or the attraction to beautiful women? No, Yun Sheng, I miss you I know as well as I do. These things, as long as you have money and status, are too easy to learn. On the contrary, what I value, perseverance, tenacity, waiting, and patience, can only breed when there is no money and status. At this time, money and status became obstacles instead.

Having barely slept the night before, and relying on coffee to refresh herself during the day, Zi Jin fell into a deep sleep. Until I was woken up by the nurse who made the rounds early in the morning, and the lights in the ward were brightly lit.

Has the fever gone? Zi Jin asked standing by the bed.

It's better than last night, and it's not all gone yet. The little nurse comforted her and said, It 's normal for the body temperature to repeat in the first three days of the pneumonia treatment, and it will be better after the infusion.

After Xiao Zhiyuan took his body temperature, he closed his eyes heavily and didn't say a word.

Under his long eyelashes are dark eye sockets, because of illness, his cheeks are a little sunken, and he didn't know what time he went to bed last night. Zijin collected the materials for him, tried not to wake him up, and walked out of the ward on tiptoe.

After last night's torrential rain, today's weather is very sunny. There is no cloud in the clear sky, and only a faint purple-red morning glow spreads at the end of the extension, which reminds Zijin of the Song Dynasty Jun porcelain incense burner that the old man kept at home, which is also such a radiant purple, Obviously the color changes thousands of times, but it makes people feel calm.

She took a taxi home, packed preserved egg and lean meat porridge at Xiao Zhiyuan's favorite breakfast shop outside the community, and hurried back to the hospital with the hot porridge.

There was no one in the ward, only messy, unmade mattresses. Zijin was startled: Xiao Zhiyuan?

He poked his head out of the bathroom with a toothbrush in his mouth: Huh?

His hair was disheveled, his lips were covered with white foam, and his voice was weak because of his poor spirit.

Why did you wake up so early? Zi Jin looked at the time, it was only seven o'clock, Why don't you sleep a little longer?

    He said busy vaguely , then retracted his head again.

After washing up, when Xiao Zhiyuan came out of the bathroom, his whole body was completely new - even though he was still wearing crumpled hospital gowns, his eyes were naturally sharp. If it wasn't for the coughing from time to time, Zi Jin would have thought that He has recovered from his illness.

Aren't you still going out? Zi Jin just served the porridge out.

I have an appointment with a client, so I can't see you. He understated, I'll come back for an infusion check after the talk.

No! Zijin walked up to him, looked up at him, and looked extremely resolute, Today is only the first day of hospitalization.

Don't make trouble. He smiled and stroked her hair, I know how to measure.

You know how to be sensible, so you wouldn't hit someone else's Ferrari in the rain yesterday! Zijin said angrily, Anyway, I'm here, so don't even try to get out of the hospital.

He pursed his lips and looked at her, with sculpted eyebrows and handsome eyes, he was not displeased at all: Are you concerned about me?

    The son shy away from talking, I have asked for annual leave, and I will watch you in the hospital, don't even think about leaving.

Honey , I really have important work to discuss. Xiao Zhiyuan said with a smile, Just give me three hours, okay?

wife?

... Is it really burnt out? She frowned — after four years of marriage, he

He usually calls her Zijin ; when he is angry , he calls her Sang Zijin ;

If it was normal, she would pretend she didn't hear it. But today ... Zi Jin decided to swallow his anger and reasoned with him: Listen to the doctor, the doctor agrees, and I have no objection.

A cunning flashed across the deep black eyes, and a triumphant smile flitted across Xiao Zhiyuan's lips: Okay.

I don't know what method he used, but the doctor actually gave him the green light, saying that he must come back before noon. Zijin watched him change his clothes, but he was worried after all: I'll go with you.

He was buttoning his shirt, but his movements slowed down, almost thinking he had heard wrong: What?

I'll go with you. Zijin looked at the record sheet next to his hospital bed, You still have a fever, I'm a little worried.

He hooked the corners of his lips enough, and smiled lightly: I'm flattered.

The car went out of the hospital and drove towards the outskirts of the city.

Zijin was a little nervous about his body, and stared at him for a few times, as if to make sure if he would faint: Aren't you going to the company?

Yeah. He was still coughing, his eyes flicked out of the window, perhaps sensing her nervousness, he turned around and said, Don't worry, I won't pass out. I'm going to see a client in a while, and you can take a hot spring there, no How long will it be.

How about the acquisition? Zijin also saw the news. From the analysis of the media, the situation of Shangwei is not optimistic. You still decide to ignore everything?

Yeah. He answered ambiguously, or because he didn't listen to her carefully, he was perfunctory.

The car stopped while talking. Iris stood at the door of Building No. 1 of the Hot Spring Villa, and quickly greeted them and greeted them.

Mr. Xiao, are you in good health? She whispered, Actually, you don't have to come here in person. Manager Chen is here. Your health is important.

It's all right. Xiao Zhiyuan stretched his brows with joy, Didn't you see that I brought a health care doctor with me?

Zijin glared at him angrily: You finish talking and go back to the hospital early, I'll wait for you in the guest room.

The hot springs on the terrace are bubbling hot steam, and there are bathrobes, slippers, and even sake and wine cups next to it, facing the dense forest scenery outside the window.

Zijin didn't feel like resting at all, she sat on the edge of the bed and watched TV for a while, then took the thermometer and medicine and left the room.

Xiao Zhiyuan was having a meeting in the small conference room on the second floor, Iris came down from the stairs: It looks like we'll have a meeting for a while.

You bring the potion in and give it to him. Zijin urged earnestly, Be sure to let him drink it.

Iris gave her a strange look: Okay.

What's the matter? Zi Jin gave her a dull look, What's so funny?

" The first time I saw

You ... well, care about him. "

I feel sorry for him because he is sick! Zi Jin said nonchalantly, turning his head aside.

Iris went upstairs with the medicine, and Zi Jin was about to go back to the guest room when footsteps came from the door. Looking back, Xiao Zhou walked in with a stranger. She couldn't avoid it, so she stood there, smiled and nodded to Xiao Zhou. As for other people, they probably don't recognize him either. Xiao Zhiyuan has always helped a lot of secretaries, so it's not uncommon for others to see him.

Mr. Dong, this way please, Mr. Xiao is upstairs in the conference room ... Xiao Zhou led the client beside him to the stairs, but unexpectedly, the person turned around and went straight to Zijin.

Miss Xia, long time no see. He said in an intimate and familiar tone, and stretched out his hand to Zijin.

Zijin's face froze: Did you recognize the wrong person? My surname is not Xia.

Huh? Aren't you Mr. Xiao's secretary? We've met before, and we've even drank. Miss Xia can't pour a thousand glasses, she's a good drinker!

You're really mistaken. Zijin stood on the spot graciously, My surname is Sang.

In the end, it was Xiao Zhou who accompanied him upstairs, Zijin looked up and saw Xiao Zhiyuan leaning slightly, leaning on the handrail on the second floor, calmly, taking a panoramic view of the scene just now. Zijin deliberately didn't look into his eyes, turned around and walked back to the room, after such a distance, she could clearly hear Xiao Zhiyuan's faint greeting.

This Mr. Dong is a very important client, right? Otherwise, Xiao Zhiyuan wouldn't insist on welcoming him in person despite his illness.

Zijin's heart was in a mess, although her eyes were fixed on the TV screen, she didn't see anything.

    Knock Knock Knock——

Zi Jin got up and went to open the door, Iris stood at the door: Bring some fruit for you.

Zijin pulled her to sit down and chatted for a while, then naturally talked about her boyfriend: Xiao Zhiyuan said you have a boyfriend?

Iris looked a little nervous, Mr. Xiao said that?

Is it true? Zijin said with a smile, I'll go and tell him not to bother you for the next eight hours, and give you time to have a good relationship.

What should Mr. Xiao do if he cut my salary? Iris replied calmly and said with a smile, Besides, Mr. Xiao has always been very kind to me.

    There were already footsteps outside the speaking room, and Iris stood up: I'll go see if they're done.

Xiao Zhiyuan finished his business, and Zijin went back to the hospital by car with him. Probably because things went well, although he looked tired, he
