Chapter 434 - 435: Wake Up Quickly
Shen Youran was leading Lou Xi out of the room when Ji Mushen happened to come over.
Lou Xi thought they truly took this matter seriously, likely worried that she and Qin Mobai would blow things out of proportion, damaging the hotel’s reputation; hence, the chairman and his wife personally showed up.
However, Lou Xi noticed a subtle tension between Shen Youran and Ji Mushen.
"Where are you going?" Ji Mushen looked at Shen Youran and asked indifferently.
Yet, Shen Youran didn’t respond to Ji Mushen; she just led Lou Xi toward the elevator.
Not even answering, Lou Xi felt certain there was some conflict between Shen Youran and Ji Mushen.
But right now, she had no mind to worry about the conflict between Shen Youran and Ji Mushen; she just wanted to hurry and see Qin Mobai, to confirm he was safe and sound!
"Youran!" Ji Mushen gripped Shen Youran’s arm, his sharply defined face exuding an inherent authority.
Shen Youran, unable to walk as she was held by the wrist, turned to look at Ji Mushen, "Whatever it is, wait till I get back to discuss. I need to take her to see her husband!"
"I’ll arrange for someone to take her; you come with me." With a glance from Ji Mushen, a woman who looked like a secretary walked over to Lou Xi, saying she would take her to see Qin Mobai.
Lou Xi felt it didn’t matter who took her to see Qin Mobai; what mattered was seeing him!
So after the secretary spoke, Lou Xi ignored Shen Youran and followed the secretary downstairs to see Qin Mobai.
As the elevator doors slowly closed, Lou Xi caught a glimpse of a sorrowful emotion on Shen Youran’s face, though whether it was an illusion, she wasn’t sure.
Yet, all those emotions disappeared once the elevator doors closed.
Shen Youran shook off Ji Mushen’s hand, scolding, "Why did you send people to seize them?" It led to Lou Xi falling into the sea, and when Qin Mobai dived in to rescue her, he got injured.
"I merely invited them over as guests," Ji Mushen said solemnly, "They were planning to leave last night!"
"Even if they wanted to leave, you couldn’t use such means to keep them."
"I was only doing it for you, was I not?"
Shen Youran felt her heart sink deeply upon hearing Ji Mushen’s words.
Because Lou Xi was the daughter she had yearned for over many years, Ji Mushen thought of using such a method to keep them?
Tears rolled down from Shen Youran’s eyes; she couldn’t bear parting with Lou Xi, but didn’t know how to reconcile with her daughter.
"Mushen, I’m sorry..."
"It’s okay, I understand your current irrational actions," Ji Mushen embraced the woman, gently soothing her back, calming her emotions.
...
It was then Lou Xi realized both she and Qin Mobai were in the hospital, and the room she was just in was an SVIP room, no wonder it was so magnificently decorated, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a view of the Indian Ocean...
Meanwhile, Qin Mobai was in the VIP ward; he had just finished surgery, and the anesthesia hadn’t worn off yet.
The secretary had explained to Lou Xi earlier that Qin Mobai had accidentally hit a reef with his leg while diving and had been soaking in the seawater for a while. Fortunately, he was rescued in time, and it was sufficient to perform surgery to stitch the wound.
Lou Xi entered the ward and saw Qin Mobai’s left leg wrapped in thick gauze, her heart aching.
Even when he was already injured, he considered her when he kissed her to give her oxygen.
Lou Xi held Qin Mobai’s hand, each wearing their wedding rings, symbols of their love.
"Young Master Qin, please wake up soon..." Lou Xi said, her eyes involuntarily reddened.
