763: Meet!

Meet!

The door of the conference room suddenly opened... Shen Ruojing stared fixedly without blinking as she saw familiar footsteps approaching the door. 0

Chu Cichen, with his refined features, looked over.

As their eyes met, his gaze brightened upon seeing Shen Ruojing. It was evident that something had bothered him in the company today, but as soon as he saw her, all his discontent vanished. 

His lips even curled up slightly, and he walked towards her in large strides, asking, "Jingjing, why are you here?"

Shen Ruojing scanned him from head to toe. He had become thinner than before, but his face remained resolute as ever, different from the youthful impression he gave six years ago. 

In her eyes, a hint of tears welled up instantly. She held his wrist again, wanting to check his pulse and see for herself.

Chu Cichen didn't avoid her touch; he simply smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

His pulse was strong, not like that of someone who was sick. 

Shen Ruojing let go of his hand and gently wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes. "It's nothing. As long as you're alive, that's all that matters."

Chu Cichen, seemingly not understanding her words, smiled helplessly. "You say that, but aren't I standing fine in front of you now? What's wrong with you? I've been busy these past few days, trying to quickly finish the company's matters, so we can have our honeymoon..."

Before he could explain further, Shen Ruojing interrupted, "Hmm, alright." After saying that, she suddenly asked, "For our honeymoon, where do you want to go?"

Chu Cichen was momentarily taken aback. After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said, "I want to go to the Arctic to see the Northern Lights..."

"Okay." Shen Ruojing stared into his eyes, without hesitation, and said, "Wherever you want to go, I can accompany you."

Chu Cichen, "..."

He raised an eyebrow, smiled, and even reached out to playfully touch Shen Ruojing's forehead, as if testing the waters. "Are you not feeling well today? You're so easy to talk to."

Shen Ruojing smiled and explained seriously, "I'm not sick. I will fulfill all the requests you've made recently."

Chu Cichen's hand hesitated for a moment, stopping mid-air. He looked at Shen Ruojing again, then smiled indulgently. "You being like this surprises me."

Chu Cichen had been desperately pursuing Shen Ruojing, hoping that she would forgive his insincere words and hurtful actions from six years ago. 

But Shen Ruojing had always been indifferent towards love, leaving him unsure of her feelings.

This was the first time she showed such tenderness, like a pool of water that could seemingly envelop everything about him.

The light in Chu Cichen's eyes deepened. He suddenly leaned close to her ear, wanting to say something. However, the woman chuckled softly and took a step back. "It's itchy."

The man stopped his next move. Chu Cichen looked at her and, after a moment, spoke, "Then, tonight, I'll go home. Is that okay?"

Shen Ruojing gazed into his eyes. 

Knowing that he was making a love confession, she pursed her lips. 

The alluring expression in her peach blossom eyes was undeniable. 

The woman then sighed quietly and said, "You're so fixated on this? We're getting married soon, no need to rush."

Chu Cichen looked slightly disappointed. "Alright."

The two of them wanted to say something, but someone walked over cautiously and said, "Mr. Chu, you have some upcoming schedules, including a meeting with Mr. Lu. It's about time... What do you think?"

Chu Cichen immediately interjected, "Postpone..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Shen Ruojing said, "Go ahead."

Chu Cichen finally looked at her and asked with a questioning gaze, "Are you okay? Jingjing, you're acting a bit strange today."

Shen Ruojing smiled and replied, "Strange? What do you mean? Go on."

Chu Cichen hesitated for a moment and said, "...Strangely charming."

Shen Ruojing responded with silence.

It was an unexpected cheesy pickup line. She twitched her mouth and waved her hand, saying, "Go on, go on!"

Chu Cichen chuckled softly and then left.

After staying in the company for a while, Shen Ruojing patted her cheek, went downstairs, hopped on a motorcycle, and left the Chu Corporation, heading home.

Chu Cichen descended the stairs and entered the company's designated car.

A voice came through his earpiece, "Madam is going home."

Chu Cichen replied, "Alright."

The car drove forward without anyone following, but Chu Cichen didn't go to see anyone named Mr. Lu, instead, he headed to the First Hospital of the capital.

He got out of the car and quickly entered the building.

He walked upstairs and soon arrived at a VIP ward.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw a man sitting on the hospital bed who looked exactly like him.

The man had a pale complexion, and his lips were so white that they seemed devoid of color. It was Chu Cichen himself.

Standing next to him, Lu Cheng's eyes were red, indicating that he had been crying for a long time.

And as Chu Cichen who just arrived... no, it should be said as Song Chen, caught sight of Chu Cichen's appearance as his gaze slightly darkened.

He lowered his eyes and said, "She did come to the company today, but don't worry, I've dispelled her suspicions."

Chu Cichen coughed and nodded at Song Chen, "Thank you for your hard work."

With these words spoken, Chu Cichen started coughing violently again.

Then, he forcefully spat out a mouthful of blood.
