Rushing to Xi Corporation
Yun Jian and Qin Yan looked at each other. They admired Yu Zilong for loving his son so much but they also hated him for taking other people's lives for his own selfish reasons.
Since the motive of the murder was organ donation, Yun Jian could not announce this to public in the fear of discouraging organ donation. What she could do was to contact the Commissioner-General and discuss her further course of actions.
The police car took Yu Zilong to the police station and Yun Jian followed them. As Qin Yan was about to return to the campus, she got a call from Tong Chunian.
After hearing the contents of the call, Qin Yan rushed to the Xi Corporation. There was a train station near Yun Jian's villa, and after changing two trains, walking for 10 minutes, she could quickly reach the Xi Corporation.
It was not that she didn't want to take a taxi, it was just that in capital city, taking a train was more convenient, and hence she would definitely choose to take a train first.
The traffic situation on the road was too congested, and from the school to the Xi Corporation, it would take 40 minutes for the train while for a car it would take at least an hour.
Upon reaching the Xi Corporation, she didn't stop until she reached the top floor. Since everyone recognised her now, no one dared to come in her way.
On reaching the top floor, Qin Yan hurried to the door of Xi Ting's office.
"Lady boss!" Tong Chunian called out to Qin Yan.
"What happened to Ah Ting?"
"Young Master Xi is sick," Tong Chunian replied, "By the way, Lady boss, Young Master Xi had ordered me not to tell you. So later on, if Young Master Xi starts to blame me, you need to help defend me."
"Don't worry," Qin Yan smiled and said, "You're doing this for his own good."
When Qin Yan opened the door, she saw that Xi Ting had fallen asleep on the office chair.
Although he was fast asleep, his face was sickly pale with prominent dark circles under his eyes and furrowed eyebrows.
When Qin Yan saw that, her heart ached for him.
"Was it very hectic today?" Qin Yan asked in a low voice.
"It's just that whenever he is busy with other work, all the deals and documents he must personally work on here keeps on accumulating," Tong Chunian explained, "And since the CEO doesn't want you to see him while he's sick, he works endlessly to complete all these pending tasks so that when he gets well, he'll be free to see you too."
Looking at Xi Ting's exhausted, pale body, Qin Yan was distressed, Xi Ting was really…
Was she the kind of clingy girl who would insist on having her boyfriend with her all the time? If he was sick, he should properly rest! She did not need for him to exhaust himself and treat himself like that just to spend time with her!
"Actually, right now there's no problem if the CEO takes one or two days off for rest," Tong Chunian said.
"Alright," Qin Yan also had to consider the problem of what right she had over him. If it was really some very important work, she would not dare to force Xi Ting to rest.
If she kept him away from doing his important work, then it would not be justified as her heart aching for him, but rather her being an obstacle in his work.
Tong Chunian had very little comradeship, and said, "I'll leave this place to you, I'll go back to work, goodbye!"
After closing the office door gently, Qin Yan went towards Xi Ting and was a bit troubled. Seeing him sleeping so soundly, Qin Yan could not really bear to wake him up.
But somehow, Xi Ting seemed to have felt that she was here. Just as she moved closer, Xi Ting woke up. In a daze, he slowly opened his groggy eyes. Perhaps because he was sick, Xi Ting's reaction was a lot slower than usual.
His originally sharp eyes were a bit blurry and seemed especially innocent.
When he saw Qin Yan in front of his eyes, Xi Ting muttered, "This dream is quite good."
As he muttered, he reached out his long arm to pull Qin Yan to him, and wrapped his arms around her thin waist, and was surprised to be able to smell her unique scent even in his dreams.
Then he nuzzled his face against Qin Yan's stomach and closed his eyes in bliss. Qin Yan did not know whether to laugh or cry and reached out to touch his forehead but was shocked.
Why was his forehead so hot! He was already running a high fever and yet he wanted to work!
Furious, Qin Yan face became dark and she patted Xi Ting's shoulder, "Wake up."
Yet Xi Ting was deep asleep, and Qin Yan had no other way, but to shake him hard. "Moonpie, wake up!"
Finally, Xi Ting opened his eyes and smiled at her dumbly, "Cookie."
"It's me, wake up," Seeing that Xi Ting was still feeling like he was in a dream, she could only pinch his face.
Feeling the stinging sharp pain, Xi Ting rubbed his face, "This dream is really becoming more and more real."
"It's not a dream!" If it was not because she knew that this man was really confused, she would have really believed that he was purposely teasing her.
Xi Ting finally woke up and raised his head up in confusion. He then saw Qin Yan standing in front of him, her face cold and angry.
"Coo..cookie?" Xi Ting called out dumbly, blinking his eyes continuously.
"Are you completely awake now?" Qin Yan asked coldly.
Facing Qin Yan's cold demeanor, Xi Ting became very obedient and hurriedly nodded, "I have woken up."
"Then go pack up your things, and follow me home," Qin Yan said.
Not waiting for Xi Ting to object, she coldly removed his hand from her waist and turned around to take off his jacket from the clothes rack.
"Wear it." Qin Yan passed the jacket to Xi Ting.
If he wasn't so tall that she couldn't even reach his shoulder, she would have helped him wear it.
"Why are you here?" Xi Ting asked helplessly.
The person who earlier refused to rest was now obediently sitting straight, and wearing his jacket.
"If I didn't come over here, I wouldn't know that you are running such a high fever and yet refusing to rest, and staying here to work," Qin Yan's face was stern.
Feeling guilty, Xi Ting said innocently "I did not do it on purpose…"
"Then tell me, what is considered as on purpose for you?" Qin Yan glared at him.
"..." Xi Ting was at a loss for words, how come his sweet little girl suddenly become so scary.
But he was enjoying it. "Did Tong Chunian inform you? That young brat, I — "
Suddenly, Xi Ting stopped in mid-sentence.
Seeing Qin Yan looking at him coldly, Xi Ting did not dare to speak further.
"So what if Tong Chunian told me?" Qin Yan said, "Moonpie, It's not that I don't want you to work, as long as you've rested enough and not so weak anymore, you can get back to work."
Xi Ting instantly hugged Qin Yan, trying to appease her, "Cookie, you're so good to me."
"There's no use trying to suck up to me, you're sick, I won't settle the accounts now, but once you're well, I'll properly settle this with you," Qin Yan said coldly, and emphatically, "No matter what reason you have, or what good reason you have to do this, you didn't tell me about your sickness."
Xi Ting was quiet for a while, then seriously said, "I'm sorry."
"If it were not for Tong Chunian telling me, I won't know that you are so sick. I actually did not realize you were sick, I feel like I am not a proper girlfriend." Right now, Qin Yan was apoplectic.
So, Xi Ting stayed quiet obediently and listened to Qin Yan scolding.
By the time she finished speaking, the two of them had reached the doorway.
Qin Yan did not say anything further and opened the door and went out of the room with Xi Ting following behind her.1
"Don't think like this baby," Xi Ting said, "You are the best girlfriend."
When The two of them sat in the car, and Xi Chen ignited the car. After a while, Qin Yan helped Xi Ting get out of the car, and pressed the bell. Upon seeing that Qin Yan had brought Xi Ting home, the door was quickly opened.
Auntie He, Xi Ting's housekeeper welcomed them in. The butler helped Xi Ting into his room.
When Qin Yan entered Xi Ting's room, she saw that he was still in his shirt and suit, only his jacket was taken off.
"Why aren't you changing into your pajamas?" It would be more comfortable if he changed and slept.
