In the end, Lan Yanxi still went to the hospital. Her illness was severe, and by night time, she had a fever. She was still in a daze after taking an injection and an antipyretic.
Cheng Yuan accompanied Lan Yanxi at her side and took good care of her. The next day, both of them took leave of absence from school. When Qiao Zhuo heard that Lan Yanxi was on sick leave, he instantly felt that his chance had come again.
He first found out where Lan Yanxi was in the hospital, and then, at noon the next day, he found an empty s.p.a.ce, picked up an exquisite fruit basket, and bought a bunch of fresh flowers.
At this moment, Lan Yanxi"s condition had somewhat eased up. She was in high spirits and was looking at her cellphone while Cheng Yuan was reading some information by the side.
"Yanxi!" Qiao Zhuo knocked on the door and came in. He called her name with a smile.
Lan Yanxi and Cheng Yuan raised their heads at the same time and saw Qiao Zhuo walk in with a smile. They asked with concern, "Yanxi, I heard you were sick and came to see you. Are you feeling better?"
Qiao Zhuo was here to visit and he was full of enthusiasm. Although Lan Yanxi and Cheng Yuan were well aware of this, they couldn"t use cold water to douse his enthusiasm.
"Thank you for coming. I"m fine now, I can leave the hospital tonight!" Lan Yanxi replied with a smile.
"Then take note of your body. Being sick is very uncomfortable. Have you had lunch? Do you want me to ?? "
"Qiao Zhuo, no need to trouble yourself. Yanxi and I have already eaten!" Cheng Yuan interrupted him indifferently.
Qiao Zhuo turned to Cheng Yuan and asked curiously, "Cheng Yuan, you seem to be especially concerned about Yanxi. How did you suddenly become such good friends?"
The duo were shocked by Qiao Zhuo"s suspicious words.
"Our personalities are similar, and we share the same room. Let"s look at each other, is there a problem?" Cheng Yuan replied with a cold expression.
"I don"t doubt your intentions. I"m just curious!" Qiao Zhuo laughed dryly.
"I don"t need you to be curious. To tell you the truth, Yanxi gave me a lot of gifts the first night we came over. To thank her, I promised to take good care of her during the study period." Cheng Yuan came up with a very reasonable excuse.
Lan Yanxi"s beautiful eyes flashed and she immediately laughed, "That"s right, this might be a bad habit I"ve developed since I was young. I like to sell people, but fortunately, Cheng Yuan accepted my flattery. Otherwise, I wouldn"t dare trouble her to take care of me!"
Qiao Zhuo was speechless. That night, he stood outside their room and saw the two of them buying a lot of famous clothes in big and small bags. Lan Yanxi was the eldest miss of a rich family.
"Yanxi, don"t talk so much with him. I don"t think he is here to visit you. He is obviously here to perform!" Cheng Yuan"s expression immediately turned cold as she mocked Qiao Zhuo in an extremely unpleasant ma
er.
Anyway, she wasn"t afraid of falling out with Qiao Zhuo. After all, protecting Lan Yanxi was her main duty.
Qiao Zhuo had an embarra.s.sed expression on his face. He felt a little embarra.s.sed. Since his thoughts were exposed by Cheng Yuan, it was impossible for him to express his hospitality.
"Qiao Zhuo, thank you for visiting me, but I"m really fine now, don"t worry about me!" Lan Yanxi immediately looked at him warily, making Qiao Zhuo even more fl.u.s.tered.
"Yanxi, don"t misunderstand. I only cared about you as a friend for a bit. There was no other reason!" Qiao Zhuo answered with a different tone.
"I know, I"m very happy to be able to make friends like you!" Lan Yanxi immediately laughed and confirmed her friend.
Qiao Zhuo was frustrated. It seems that he won"t have a chance to be nice to Lan Yanxi as Cheng Yuan is standing in his way.
If he couldn"t, he would have to move Cheng Yuan, who was a hindrance, away. Only then would he have the chance to make a move on Lan Yanxi, otherwise, it would be too difficult to bring a green hat to Ling Mofeng.
"Yanxi, rest well. I won"t disturb you any longer!" Qiao Zhuo could only tactfully turn around and leave, but in his heart, he was very unhappy. Why did this Cheng Yuan treat Lan Yanxi so well? She was like her bodyguard, standing in her way.
When Qiao Zhuo walked out, Cheng Yuan stood up and carefully examined the basket of flowers and fruits that Qiao Zhuo had sent over. Seeing that there were no abnormalities, her expression returned to normal as she snorted coldly: "Yanxi, you have to be careful of this Qiao Zhuo. He has ill intentions towards you."
"Cheng Yuan, do you think he has really fallen for me?" Lan Yanxi was also extremely distressed.
"Does that even need to be said? From his behavior, you can tell that he is especially attentive towards you! " Cheng Yuan glanced at the door disapprovingly.
"But I don"t have much contact with him. We"ve only met a few times, so how could he fall for me?" Even now, Lan Yanxi was not narcissistic enough to think that she was a fan of millions of people. After all, she was a lazy person and was gifted by the heavens to her beauty value, but she was lazy to take care of it. Therefore, among the female staff in the office, she only felt that her own beauty was of a medium standard.
There are two possibilities. First, he might really like you, and he doesn"t have any ulterior motives or ulterior motives, and second, he might be someone from the old president"s faction, taking this opportunity to get close to you and break your relations.h.i.+p with the Vice President. Yanxi, I"m more inclined to the second. Cheng Yuan a.n.a.lyzed the situation with a grave expression.
"What?" Someone from the old president? " Lan Yanxi"s mind went blank. She couldn"t believe that such a terrifying thing had happened.
"Yanxi, didn"t Mr. Vice President remind you? Your current situation is very dangerous, so you have to be very careful of those people! " Cheng Yuan reminded her with a serious expression.
"What about you?" Lan Yanxi"s beautiful eyes blinked as she looked at her.
Cheng Yuan didn"t get angry. She replied calmly, "Even I can make you suspicious."
Lan Yanxi"s pretty face turned pale. There was a feeling of being deep in the fog, and she couldn"t find the right direction.
"Cheng Yuan, don"t be so serious, alright? I"ll be nervous!" Lan Yanxi pouted and pleaded with her.
Cheng Yuan immediately lowered her head and laughed. "Alright, I won"t scare you anymore. Otherwise, Mister will have to blame me!"
Lan Yanxi forced a smile as she leaned against the pillow, feeling dizzy.
The moment Qiao Zhuo left the hospital, he immediately called Zhang Lu. He was a bit agitated, "Department Head Zhang, do you know that there"s a woman called Cheng Yuan on the list this time? She is simply an obstacle between Lan Yanxi and me. With her here, I don"t even have the chance to get close to Lan Yanxi anymore. Can you think of a way to get her away from me? "
"Cheng Yuan? She"s from the Ministry of Defence, I know. She"s a young female officer. "She"s stopping you from developing with Lan Yanxi?" Department Head Zhang asked in surprise.
"Yeah, could this Cheng Yuan be someone sent by Ling Mofeng?" "It"s to protect Lan Yanxi. Maybe your information is wrong, Ling Mofeng just likes Lan Yanxi so he sent this woman to protect her." Qiao Zhuo was also angry, thus giving rise to a second suspicion.
"Do you think Ling Mofeng is acting with us?" Department Head Zhang"s expression changed greatly. Obviously, they had been making their judgement based on the information obtained from the investigation all this time, but they did not look at the whole matter from the other point of view. Therefore, Qiao Zhuo"s reminder this time round was extremely shocking to Department Head Zhang.
"It"s not impossible. Ling Mofeng is a shrewd man. If he wants to protect Lan Yanxi, as long as he is a little cold towards her and creates a fake image of them not falling in love, Lan Yanxi"s safety will be a.s.sured!" Qiao Zhuo laughed mockingly. He felt that he was too smart, actually questioning the authenticity of this matter.
"Qiao Zhuo, you really are a smart person. Perhaps your guess is correct. Therefore, we must prove this matter now." Department Head Zhang also seemed to have woken up, it was still a good idea to test whether Ling Mofeng was still in Kowu Li, since Lan Yanxi was a chess piece to them. Since she was abroad, it would be very convenient for her to do anything to Ling Mofeng.
"Qiao Zhuo, if your guess is correct, the President will definitely treat you well!" Department Head Zhang"s smile was extremely sinister.
