Beijing-Hong Kong Rosemary

Chapter 103 Do you have the heart?

Because I care, I don't want to hurt him too much, so I want to cut my losses in time.

Despite it starting as a scam, he ended up losing money himself.

Father, like son.

Zhu Sixuan bluntly asked, "Ningning, have you fallen in love with Qu Yanci?"

"I didn't, I don't want to love him." Shen Guining's vision was blurry, and her voice, thick with alcohol, sounded slurred. "He's not mine..."

Zhu Sixuan noticed something was wrong. "This red wine isn't very strong, so why is your face so red?"

She reached out and touched Shen Guining's forehead, startled by the temperature of her palm. "It's so hot, you have a fever, Ningning!"

"Come on, stop drinking. I'll take you to the hospital."

Shen Guining blinked blankly.

Does she have a fever? No wonder she always feels so hot and has a tightness in her chest.

Zhu Sixuan took the bag and helped her up.

Shen Guining put down her wine glass, her head spinning, and she saw double images before her eyes.

Zhu Sixuan led her downstairs and left the restaurant. Just as they were about to hail a taxi on the roadside, a middle-aged man suddenly blocked their way.

"Miss Shen, what's going on?"

Zhu Sixuan didn't recognize him. "Who are you?"

The other party explained, "I am Mr. Qu's driver, here to pick up Ms. Shen."

Zhu Sixuan immediately said, "Then please take us to the hospital. She's sick and has a fever."

"Okay." The driver didn't dare to delay and quickly drove the car over.

Shen Guining remained dazed and leaned against Zhu Sixuan the entire time.

Twenty minutes later, I went to a nearby private hospital to register for a check-up.

The diagnosis was emotional fever, which worsened after drinking alcohol, reaching a fever of 38.7 degrees Celsius, requiring hospitalization for observation.

Excessive anxiety, tension, and worry can all trigger emotional fever.

The driver took a moment to call Qu Yanci. "Mr. Qu, Miss Shen is sick and is currently receiving an IV drip at the hospital."
-
The ward was quiet.

Shen Guining fell asleep in the hospital bed, with Zhu Sixuan by her side.

The two IV drips lasted for three hours.

The nurse came in and removed the needle.

Shen Guining's complexion has improved a lot; it's not as red and hot as before, but her fever hasn't completely subsided.

The nurse gave a few instructions and then left the ward.

Shen Guining was sweating, so Zhu Sixuan took a towel to the bathroom, wet it, and wiped her forehead and neck.

The hospital gown was loose, and the hickey on his chest came into view.

Zhu Sixuan couldn't help but sigh softly, "Your boyfriend is really ruthless, bullying you like this."

Well, all men are the same. That bastard Ye Zeming also likes to bite people, as if he has a perverse sense of humor, and he insists on leaving marks on her body.

There was a cot next to her, so Zhu Sixuan quickly washed up and lay down to rest.

Around one o'clock in the morning, there was a knock on the door.

Zhu Sixuan wasn't a deep sleeper; she got up and opened the door when she heard a noise.

She rubbed her eyes while turning the doorknob with her other hand.

Through the blurry vision, a pair of long, straight legs came into view, and above them was a perfectly sculpted bone structure.

With superior facial features, deep contours, and outstanding temperament, there is not a single flaw to be found.

Her hair was a little messy, and you could tell she had come all this way.

Zhu Sixuan regained consciousness, "You..."

Although it was their first meeting, she immediately guessed, "Mr. Qu?"

Qu Yanci nodded. "Sorry to wake you up."

Zhu Sixuan shook her head, "It's nothing, it's nothing."

Qu Yanci looked inside and asked in a low voice, "Is she feeling better?"

"Her fever hasn't completely subsided yet. The doctor said she'll need an IV drip tomorrow." Zhu Sixuan stepped aside to let him in. Qu Yanci walked to the bedside. "Thank you for taking care of her. You should go back and rest. There's a driver downstairs who will take you."

Zhu Sixuan nodded, "Then I'm leaving."

She decided not to be a third wheel, so she grabbed her bag and phone and left.

The door closed again.

The person on the bed was still asleep, breathing softly and slowly, with a few strands of hair damp with sweat and clinging to their temples.

Qu Yanci sat on the edge of the bed and reached out his palm to touch her forehead, which was still a little hot.

His face was the size of a palm, and his complexion was weak.

I got sick after just two days apart.

Shen Guining vaguely felt someone touching her, and instinctively dodged away, muttering in her sleep, "It's so hot... go away..."

Qu Yanci's fingertip lingered on her dry lips. "Would you like to get up and have some water?"

Shen Guining opened her eyes, her eyes half-closed, unaccustomed to the light. In her gaze, a familiar figure vaguely appeared.

She moved her lips, her voice hoarse, "What are you doing here?"

Before Qu Yanci could speak, she muttered to herself, "No, it's a dream..."

Qu Yanci is clearly in Beijing, so he won't come looking for her.

Just thinking about that night made Shen Guining's eyes redden. "He's still angry with me. He won't care about me."

Her tears came easily, glistening at the corners of her eyes.

Qu Yanci bent his index finger and wiped away her tears. "You're still acting aggrieved? Shouldn't I be angry with you?"

If someone else had deceived and played tricks on him like that, the consequences would have been dire.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." Shen Guining cried even harder, her eyes red and swollen, sobbing as she said, "Can you forgive me..."

Qu Yanci pinched her chin, his voice slightly deep, "Are you sure that I'll soften when you cry?"

“You won’t soften your heart… The more I cry in bed, the harder you hit me.”

"..."

With tears blurring her vision, Shen Guining continued to murmur, "I shouldn't have approached you with ulterior motives, I shouldn't have tried to hook you, I shouldn't have provoked you... I should have stayed far away from you..."

That way, I wouldn't be as sad as I am now.

Qu Yanci lowered his eyes, a chill seeping in them, and tightened his grip. "You regret it, don't you? Regret being with me?"

"No..." Shen Guining pushed him away in pain, sobbing, "You bullied me even in my dreams..."

Qu Yanci stared at her face, a cold glint in his eyes, "Do you even have a heart, Shen Guining?"

He could overlook her initial deception and manipulation, but he couldn't accept that she had never liked him.

Feelings are not bargaining chips, much less cheap commodities that can be squandered at will.

“How can I not have a heart?” Shen Guining retorted. “Without a heart, there would be no pain.”

She closed her eyes, and tears rolled down her cheeks and down the bridge of her nose.

Qu Yanci wiped away her tears, "Even your affection for me is fake, so what else is real?"

His tone was so fierce that Shen Guining didn't want to talk to him.

"I'm not feeling well, please don't bother me..."

She drifted off to sleep again.

Qu Yanci looked at her sleeping face, feeling helpless and at a loss.

After a long silence, he parted his thin lips slightly and said in a low, forceful voice, "You can only stay obediently by my side."

Since we've already provoked them, let's see it through to the end.

In the latter half of the night, Shen Guining sweated profusely again, feeling sticky all over. Later, she fell into a broad and warm embrace, where her skin was wiped dry, and the discomfort disappeared.

The familiar, comforting scent filled her nostrils, and subconsciously she clung to something, unwilling to let go.

The expensive custom-made shirt was crumpled beyond recognition in her hands.

P.S.: Let me explain the update rules to save everyone from asking.

Because the data for this book is really not ideal, it is impossible to update twice a day. I can only guarantee that I will not update. Occasionally, I will take leave if something comes up. The usual update time is around 12 o'clock at night, but some chapters may be under review and will not be released until the next morning. So please don't wait if there is no update too late.

Bonus chapter conditions: One bonus chapter for every ten monthly tickets on Q-Reader. There are very few readers on other platforms, and I can't count them in the backend. However, if there are many monthly tickets, I will also add a bonus chapter. I will also consider other ways to add bonus chapters, such as large rewards or many people commenting on a single chapter, because I need some motivation to write (I accept all friendly requests for updates). If no one is active, it's like I'm writing for myself in a single machine.
