Beautiful CEO's Top Expert-Chapter 922 - 0: I’ll Wait for You at Fenghua Group

Lin Zhennan’s death hasn’t been fully disclosed, so only a few people have heard about it. Ordinary citizens don’t know a thing.

Even if they did, they probably wouldn’t care much.

After all, people die every day, and besides, Lin Zhennan being alive or dead doesn’t affect them in any way.

So it’s impossible for them to pay excessive attention.

Perhaps because Lin Zhennan’s death hasn’t been made public, Ye Xunhuan has been enjoying a rare moment of peace, with no one bothering him at all.

Right now, he’s at the hospital, keeping Liu Qingcheng company.

Although he had a fight with Yuan Shu last night and got injured, it hasn’t affected his daily life much, so outwardly, he looks just like he always does!

But Ye Xunhuan hasn’t told Liu Qingcheng about his injuries; he doesn’t want this woman worrying about him.

So Liu Qingcheng has no idea that Ye Xunhuan is suffering internal injuries at this very moment.

"When are you going back?" Liu Qingcheng asked softly, looking at Ye Xunhuan.

After a day of rest, Liu Qingcheng’s complexion hadn’t returned to its usual radiant glow, but it was noticeably better than before.

"What’s the matter? Don’t want to see me anymore?"

"No!" Liu Qingcheng quickly explained, "I’m just worried Qiu Ruoxi might get angry..."

Qiu Ruoxi!

The instant those three words entered his ears, Ye Xunhuan seemed to recall something, and his expression changed subtly.

Liu Qingcheng caught every small change on Ye Xunhuan’s face and asked, somewhat puzzled, "What’s wrong?"

"I think I forgot to call her when I came here. She doesn’t know I’m fine now..."

"You..."

"I’ll go make the call right now!"

As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan dashed out of the hospital room.

Watching him hurry off, a soft, warm smile gradually spread across Liu Qingcheng’s face.

Did he forget to call Qiu Ruoxi because he was worried he’d overlooked that?

Once out of the room, Ye Xunhuan immediately dialed Qiu Ruoxi’s number.

He’d been so preoccupied yesterday that he had completely forgotten about this. If Liu Qingcheng hadn’t brought it up, the scatterbrained Ye Xunhuan probably still wouldn’t have remembered.

Qiu Ruoxi was bound to be furious, wasn’t she?

As he made the call to Qiu Ruoxi, unease and nervousness filled Ye Xunhuan’s heart.

When Ye Xunhuan had been detained in the police station, Qiu Ruoxi had been extremely worried about him. He knew this well. But after he got out, not only did he not visit her immediately, he didn’t even call!

While this anxiety gnawed at him, the call connected.

"Honey, uh... I’m out of the station now..."

"What do you need?"

Qiu Ruoxi’s voice, distant and cold, traveled through the receiver straight into Ye Xunhuan’s ears.

Even separated by miles, Ye Xunhuan could still sense the bone-chilling frostiness in her tone.

He could even picture Qiu Ruoxi’s tense, glacial face in his mind.

This thought sent a shiver down Ye Xunhuan’s spine.

"I wanted to let you know I’m in Yanjing..."

"I’ve got work to do—hanging up now!"

And before Ye Xunhuan could even respond, Qiu Ruoxi ended the call outright.

Staring at the busy tone coming through his phone, bitterness crawled onto Ye Xunhuan’s face.

This woman was truly angry, and deeply so.

But then again, it made perfect sense—how could Qiu Ruoxi not be angry?

She had been so worried about him, yet Ye Xunhuan had been so indifferent. After getting out of the police station, he hadn’t even bothered to call her.

Frankly, if it had been any other woman, she probably would’ve gotten as mad as Qiu Ruoxi.

At the Royal Group headquarters in Jiangzhou City, Qiu Ruoxi sat at her desk, her delicate, radiant face completely cloaked in an icy fury.

"Idiot, bastard, only now remembering me...," Qiu Ruoxi cursed through clenched teeth.

Because of Ye Xunhuan’s arrest, Qiu Ruoxi hadn’t been able to sleep well, and she’d even neglected her work—her entire heart had been solely focused on Ye Xunhuan. And yet, after getting out safely, that guy hadn’t bothered to call her, instead rushing off to Yanjing.

If it hadn’t been for Wu Mei informing her, she wouldn’t even know Ye Xunhuan was safe, let alone where he’d gone.

Meanwhile, in Yanjing, Ye Xunhuan, as if sensing something, suddenly sneezed.

"Is Qiu Ruoxi cursing me?" Ye Xunhuan muttered.

Then, shaking his head, he headed back to the hospital room.

It was obvious Qiu Ruoxi was furious now, and going back to her wouldn’t change a thing. Right now, she was clearly still in the heat of her anger, so better to approach her after she’d cooled down a bit!

Besides, since he was already in Yanjing, it wouldn’t make sense not to visit Tang Yurou, would it?

Obviously, with Liu Qingcheng still in the hospital, he couldn’t leave her unattended either. After all, it was because of him that Liu Qingcheng had ended up like this.

With his head hanging low, Ye Xunhuan walked back into the hospital room, where Liu Qingcheng quickly asked softly, "She’s mad?"

Ye Xunhuan nodded reluctantly, his movements stiff.

"Serves you right!" Liu Qingcheng shot him a glance.

"Come on now, be fair! I came here to save you..."

"Did I say I needed saving?"

Ye Xunhuan immediately found himself at a loss for words.

After a moment, Liu Qingcheng seemed to recall something and sighed, "I wonder how Dragon Chief is going to explain this to Kunlun."

"What, you’re worried about him now?" Ye Xunhuan said with some irritation. "Serves him right for acting all high and mighty when he can’t handle it!"

"Don’t talk about Dragon Chief like that. True, he can be peculiar at times, but overall, he’s not a bad person. If it weren’t for him, I might not even be safe right now. In fact, he secretly reduced my punishment while I was in the dungeon..."

"That’s the least he should do!" Ye Xunhuan scoffed.

"I know you have your issues with Dragon Chief, but Xunhuan, he might not actually be the kind of person you think he is. He..."

"Alright, enough!" Ye Xunhuan interrupted Liu Qingcheng impatiently.

Liu Qingcheng realized she might have talked too much and apologized sheepishly, "Sorry, I..."

"Why are you apologizing to me?" Ye Xunhuan forced a strained smile. "If anyone should apologize, it’s me—for dragging you into this mess!"

Liu Qingcheng sensed that Ye Xunhuan didn’t want to revisit their previous topic, so she went along and changed it. "So how do you plan on repaying me?"

"How about... with my body?"

At this, Liu Qingcheng’s cheeks turned a faint shade of red, but she replied calmly, "I’ll need some time to consider..."

Right at that moment, Ye Xunhuan’s phone rang.

Upon hearing the ringtone, Ye Xunhuan gave Liu Qingcheng an awkward smile and answered the call without hesitation.

"Hello..."

"Ye Xunhuan, I want to talk to you. Right now, I’m at Yipinxuan near Fenghua Group—I hope you can come over."

"And if I don’t?"

"Then I’ll wait for you at Fenghua Group."
