Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 551: The CEO’s Desperate Pursuit in the Flames of Regret
"You’ve fallen for the girl, haven’t you?" The doctor hit the nail on the head.
"What? Impossible." Xie Mingyu shouted in denial.
The doctor chuckled and asked, "Then why does your heart race whenever you see her, but it’s fine when you don’t? Isn’t that what it means to be smitten? Young man, you’re already an adult. Admitting you’re attracted to someone isn’t shameful, don’t be shy."
"What kind of nonsense is this, quack." Xie Mingyu angrily stood up, face stiff, as he left.
But as he stepped out of the doctor’s office, he reached up to touch his chest.
It was indeed very calm now.
But thinking of Shangxue, his heart couldn’t help but race again.
Could it be that he really likes Shangxue? Is he smitten with her?
"Young master, are you alright?"
The bodyguard rushed over, eagerly inquiring.
Xie Mingyu shook his head and said, "It’s nothing, let’s go back."
"Are you really alright? Don’t you need to go to a big hospital for another check-up?" The bodyguard noted his poor complexion and felt uneasy.
Xie Mingyu impatiently said, "I said it’s nothing, so it’s nothing. Why so much talk?"
The bodyguard was so intimidated by his yelling that he didn’t dare to make a sound.
The group returned to the hotel.
But just as they arrived at the hotel, Wei came running out, saying, "Young master, Miss Shangxue has woken up."
Xie Mingyu was stunned, recalling the doctor saying he liked Shangxue and his heart skipped a beat.
Does he really like Shangxue?
But that’s not right; it should be Shangxue who likes him, how could he be the one to like her first?
"Young master, are you going in?" Wei reminded him.
Xie Mingyu returned to his senses and quickly shook his head: "I’m not going in. Let her rest well inside. I... should go home now, I’ve been out for so long, Grandpa must miss me. I should go home."
"Ah?" Wei was surprised.
Why tell him this?
Does the young master have to discuss going home with him?
"Ah what, shouldn’t I go home?" Xie Mingyu asked impatiently.
Wei quickly nodded.
Whether the young master should go home or not is not something he, as a bodyguard, can decide.
But since the young master was taking it out on him, nodding was all he could do.
The old master instructed that regardless of what happens, and no matter what the young master says, just nod and agree, never let the young master get upset.
This is the bare minimum code of conduct for a young master’s bodyguard.
"Even you think I should go home, so I really should go home. Quickly pack up... never mind, there’s nothing much to pack, let’s go."
Xie Mingyu waved his hand, grandly leaving with his bodyguards.
Shangxue had indeed woken up. Upon waking and seeing the freshly renovated room, she thought she was dreaming.
It wasn’t until Wei appeared that she startled awake, realizing it wasn’t a dream, it was real.
Xie Mingyu really had come for her.
"Where’s the young master?" Shangxue inquired.
Wei said, "The young master’s not feeling well, so he went to the hospital. He asked me to keep an eye on you. Miss Shangxue, you mustn’t run off again. The young master went to great lengths to find you, we almost worked ourselves to death following suit."
"The young master isn’t feeling well? Where doesn’t he feel well?" Shangxue asked urgently.
Wei replied, "I couldn’t say for sure, anyway the young master has gone to the hospital, just wait here quietly."
Before long, Wei received a message from his peers.
He stood up and said to Shangxue, "Miss Shangxue, stay here for now, the young master has returned, I’ll go meet him, don’t run out."
"I know, I won’t run anymore." Shangxue agreed with a bitter smile.
She had turned off the GPS on her phone, yet Xie Mingyu still found her.
Even if she ran again, if he wanted to find her, she’d probably never escape his grasp.
Besides, she’s sick now.
Even though the fever broke, her body aches reminded her that she’s still unwell and it wouldn’t be wise to run.
Despite waiting for a long time, Xie Mingyu never came to question her.
Shangxue furrowed her brows, and had no choice but to get off the bed and go out on her own.
More importantly, she was also hungry, wanting to eat something.
But upon leaving the room, aside from the boss, there wasn’t anyone else around.
The boss saw her come out and rushed to greet her with a smile, wanting to offer support.
However, remembering the differences between men and women, he quickly called his wife to serve this female patron properly.
"Why is there no one else around? Where’s everyone?" Shangxue pushed away the boss’s wife’s hand, declining her help.
The boss’s wife replied, "They’ve all left, it’s just you now. Are you hungry? I’ll make you something to eat."
Shangxue nodded, asking the boss’s wife to cook her some noodles.
"They’ve all left? Did they mention if they’d be back?" Shangxue asked after finishing her noodles.
The boss thought for a moment and said, "That young master who looks quite dashing said his grandpa misses him, and he wants to go home. He didn’t mention coming back, so maybe he won’t. They’ve left me with a card, telling me to deposit the monthly profits into it. This hotel has already been bought by that young master. Do you know him? What’s your relationship? Why did he suddenly leave without taking you along?"
The boss’s wife gave him a look, signaling him to stop talking.
He didn’t initially understand why until he noticed Shangxue’s face paling and realized.
He hurriedly shut up, no longer daring to speak.
"Thank you, I’m full now, I’ll go rest a bit." Shangxue put down her chopsticks and went back upstairs to sleep.
She’s still sick, needing to seize the time for rest so she can do anything else only when she’s recovered.
She hadn’t taken the fever medicine anymore because, in fact, she really dislikes taking medicine, it’s better to let her body repair itself slowly.
"Why can’t you just say less? It’s clear this girl and that good-looking young master have romantic complications. It must be that the young master doesn’t like her anymore, that’s why he left her here, and you kept asking, she’d be in tears if you kept going." The boss’s wife scolded him softly, blaming him for being insensitive.
The boss whispered, "How could I have known that’s their situation? But, I didn’t say anything that bad, she shouldn’t be mad."
Shangxue heard everything while going upstairs.
Her hearing is excellent, a special skill of hers.
Even the boss and his wife could tell that Xie Mingyu doesn’t like her, which is why he abandoned her.
What expectations could she, the person concerned, still hold?
Initially seeing him come, having renovated the place thought he saw her as special.
She indeed overthought it.
In his eyes, other than Ye Ningwan, everyone is the same.
The renovation was merely because he disliked the damp, moldy smell.
Shangxue rested here for two days, regaining her strength before leaving.
She’s uncertain of where to go, planning to roam around.
Having been Xie Mingyu’s assistant, she never had a life of her own.
From now on, she should live for herself.
