Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 549: The CEO’s Desperate Pursuit in the Flames of Regret
Shangxue held a knife, aiming it at her left hand.
Xie Mingyu was terrified, swiftly rushing over to cover Shangxue’s hand with his own.
"Young master, what are you doing?"
Shangxue, frightened, quickly threw away the knife and hurriedly took Xie Mingyu’s hand to inspect it.
Xie Mingyu’s hands, pampered from childhood, had never performed a task as simple as pouring water. They were as clean and flawless as jade.
Shangxue glanced at it herself, relieved that there was no injury.
However, as she let out a sigh of relief, Xie Mingyu angrily brushed her aside.
"What am I doing? I should be asking you, what are you doing? Shangxue, do you despise me that much, just because... that you would rather hurt yourself?"
"Despise you? Young master, what are you talking about, how could I possibly despise you?" Shangxue was speechless and hurriedly explained.
Xie Mingyu shouted, "If you don’t despise me, what are you doing? You ran away without a word after that incident, isn’t that despising me? You even thought I would kill you? In your eyes, am I that brutal, capable of disregarding years of affection and killing you?"
"I’m sorry, young master, it was my mistake," Shangxue lowered her head in apology.
"I don’t need your apology. No matter what I say, you keep apologizing. Shangxue, you’re really annoying like this," Xie Mingyu angrily pushed her.
Shangxue fell over from his push.
Xie Mingyu: "..."
He knew his own people well, even though she was the weakest in combat among four.
But that’s only relative to the other three.
For ordinary people, she was still formidable, how could she fall over with a mere push?
"Hey, don’t pretend, I just pushed you a little, how could you fall?"
Xie Mingyu nudged Shangxue with his toe.
Shangxue lay on the bed, her eyes tightly closed, not moving at all.
She wasn’t faking it, she had truly fainted.
Even she didn’t understand why her usually healthy body suddenly had a fever.
Exhausted yesterday, she thought it was mere fatigue, not realizing she had a fever.
Now shocked by Xie Mingyu, the fever surged immediately.
That’s why she fell over so easily from Xie Mingyu’s push.
She could hear everything Xie Mingyu said but couldn’t open her eyes.
She wanted to open her eyes and tell him she wasn’t pretending.
But she couldn’t.
"Shangxue?"
Xie Mingyu nudged Shangxue again. Seeing no reaction from her, he hurriedly bent down to check her condition.
It was then he noticed the abnormal flush on her cheeks.
Xie Mingyu, experienced from long-term illness, quickly recognized the symptoms.
Upon touching her face, he felt the alarming heat.
"She has a fever?" Xie Mingyu knitted his brows in concern.
He quickly called people in to help get Shangxue up, planning to take her to the hospital.
However, just moments ago fainted and unresponsive, upon hearing the word ’hospital’, Shangxue inexplicably found strength.
With eyes closed, she pushed away the bodyguards and Xie Mingyu, "I don’t want to go, I don’t want to go to the hospital."
After speaking, she collapsed back on the bed, tightly clutching the blanket.
Although the blanket had a musty smell, suffocatingly unpleasant.
Yet at this moment, for her, it was like a rare treasure, held close without letting go.
The bodyguard asked Xie Mingyu, "Young master, should I carry Miss Shangxue to the hospital?"
"Without my permission, don’t you dare lift her." Xie Mingyu snapped.
The bodyguard, frightened, immediately lowered his head, agreeing swiftly, "Yes."
Xie Mingyu frowned.
In fact, if he wanted, he could carry Shangxue himself, but having been so pampered, he had never lifted anything heavy. He worried that attempting to carry Shangxue might exhaust him.
Of course, the most important reason was he understood why Shangxue feared hospitals.
No one knew Shangxue’s past better than he did.
The first time he encountered Shangxue, it was in a hospital.
Young Shangxue, beaten brutally by her adoptive parents, almost to death.
The incident made the news, and he saw her through the news report. A tiny figure lying on a hospital bed, wrapped in bandages, only her eyes exposed, filled with fear and helplessness.
Just one glance stirred his heart, the first time he felt the sting of empathy.
"Grandfather, I want to adopt her."
He pointed at the television news and made his request to his grandfather.
Old Sir Xie doted on him deeply, willing to give his life for him.
Adopting a little girl was trivial, even if it were ten or a hundred, he would agree, as long as his grandson was happy.
Thus, a grand entourage went to the hospital.
During Shangxue’s hospitalization, he had arranged the adoption procedures and provided her with the finest medical team.
However, due to severe injuries, the treatment process was agonizing, leaving Shangxue with a psychological shadow towards hospitals.
No matter how serious the illness, she refused hospital visits.
But, the Xie Family was abundant with medical resources.
Even without going to the hospital, she received the best medical care.
But now being outside, his health had improved greatly, seldom falling ill. Therefore, no family doctor was with him, making the situation tricky.
Xie Mingyu pondered, then instructed the bodyguard, "Go to the nearest hospital and hire a doctor to come over, no matter the cost. Remember, it must be a legitimate hospital doctor, don’t bring me any frauds, or you won’t be forgiven."
"Yes, young master, I’ll go right away. However, should I find someone to care for Miss Shangxue as well?" the bodyguard asked.
Xie Mingyu replied, "No need, I’ll take care of it myself."
The bodyguard was shocked, a look of disbelief on his face.
In anger, Xie Mingyu picked up a pillow and threw it at him.
"What’s with that expression? What’s wrong with me taking care of her? You think I can’t look after someone?"
"No, the young master can do anything, surely these little tasks would be easy," the bodyguard quickly flattered him with a smile.
But once outside, his face again showed an aghast expression.
Let the young master take care of someone?
What a joke, being such a privileged young master, how could he possibly take care of others?
True enough, in less than a minute, Xie Mingyu was enraged.
"What’s wrong with this hotel? Why is it so damp? Why does the bedding smell moldy? Quickly find a good place to replace it, I want to switch to a five-star hotel."
This is Zhejiang, plenty of five-star hotels here.
However, as if Shangxue had some grudge with this hotel, she wouldn’t go to the hospital or change locations.
No matter how Xie Mingyu threatened, enticed, or intimidated, he couldn’t persuade Shangxue to move.
Eventually, even Xie Mingyu was stumped.
Since Shangxue wouldn’t change locations, he could only change the things.
He gave the bodyguard an hour to transform every part of this hotel room anew.
Everything replaced with the best, except for the blanket Shangxue was holding, everything else was switched out.
