Chapter 97 - 97: You ‘ re Always Lying to Me
Assistant Yuan and Miaomiao wanted Nan Ge to go back and rest, but Nan Ge rejected them.
“Go back. I’ll be fine here.”
“Didn’t the doctor say that he’ll be fine after the drip? I’ll just wait for the IV drip to finish. I’ll be just fine.”
Assistant Yuan wanted to say something, but Miaomiao pulled him back.
“Alright. If you have any problems, we’re just a call away.”
“Yes, okay.” Nan Ge nodded and watched the two of them leave.
In the corridor, Miaomiao let go of Assistant Yuan’s hand and rolled her eyes. “You shouldn’t have told her the truth back then.”
“I also hesitated.” Although Assistant Yuan also blamed himself, he had to say this sooner or later. “President Shen hid it from her and doesn’t want her to worry. I get it.”
“But this alcohol allergy is not a small matter. President Shen forcefully endured it this time, but there might be a next time. This time, it was quite timely, but what if he goes into shock next time?”
“This isn’t a joke.”
“Nan Ge is President Shen’s girlfriend after all. Naturally, they’ll spend a lot of time together in the future.”
“She has to know. She has the right to know. Besides, do you think Nan Ge can accept this ‘white lie’ in peace if President Shen continues hiding it? The more it accumulates, the sadder she will be.”
“Think about it. We’re just subordinates. Sometimes, even if we remind him,
President Shen might not listen.”
“But Nan Ge is different.”
“Now, the only person who can ‘educate’ President Shen and make him listen and seriously correct himself is Nan Ge.”
He had been with President Shen for many years.
Therefore, he naturally knew what to say and what not to say.
He had thought about it carefully before telling Nan Ge the truth tonight.
As he spoke, he sighed and shrugged at Miaomiao. “This is President Shen’s first time in a relationship. He doesn’t know much about girls.”
“President Shen thought that hiding it might be the best solution for both of them at that time . He is just used to holding on to everything himself.”
“But dating is not about business. Two people are involved when it comes to dating and not just him.”
“So we can’t watch President Shen continue to make mistakes.”
After Assistant Yuan finished speaking, Sister Miaomiao sized him up with a complicated gaze.
“What are you looking at?” Her gaze made him panic. He felt that nothing good would come out of her mouth next.
Miaomiao clicked her tongue. “I didn’t expect someone like you, who has been single for more than 20 years, to know so much.”
“You’re so good at analyzing. Eh? Have you been secretly sorting out some information about dating recently?”
“Tsk, there’s a reason why you can be a special assistant. I’m not envious at all.”
As expected, they had the same tacit understanding as before as long-time partners at work.
When Shen Yanqing woke up at three in the morning, there was only one light in the room. The light was not very bright.
He did not need to look to know where he was.
The first thing he thought when he opened his eyes was frustration. He had made Nan Ge wait for so long, but in the end, he still dampened her spirits.
He thought that he could more or less last until he was done sightseeing with Nan Ge. When the time came, he would send Nan Ge back to rest before coming to the hospital for an IV drip.
He did not want to tell her because he did not want her to worry. He wanted her to have fun for the night.
The young lady had originally come for the snow scenery, but in the end, she was stuck at the hospital with him.
Shen Yanqing closed his eyes and could not help but frown.
After resting for a while, he propped himself up and looked for his phone. He wanted to know what time it was and see if the snow had stopped. However, just as he sat up, he saw a small head lying on the bed.
He froze and narrowed his eyes as he sized her up.
He was not wearing glasses. After a few seconds, he realized who it was and his gaze softened.
The little girl was sitting on a chair and sleeping soundly by the bed.
As if she was afraid of snatching the patient’s bed, half of her arm was suspended by the bed. If it slipped slightly, her arm and the small head resting on it would immediately fall.
The drip was done. He carefully went down and carried her to the bed.
As soon as her body touched the bed, Nan Ge opened her eyes in a daze.
Before Shen Yanqing could get up, his hand was still behind her back.
Just like that, the two of them looked at each other quietly.
Shen Yanqing did not dare to speak because he was not sure if Nan Ge was really awake.
Nan Ge did not move. She opened her eyes slightly and looked at the person in front ot her.
Soon, Shen Yanqing realized that her eyes were a little red.
Just now, she had been sleeping with her head lowered. When he carried her up, he did not notice. Now that she was closer, he could see clearly.
He was slightly stunned and subconsciously asked, “Have you cried?”
Hearing his voice, Nan Ge instantly woke up and finally confirmed that this was not a dream.
After Shen Yanqing asked, he regretted it. He patted her back and wanted to coax her to continue sleeping. However, in the next second, the little girl wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in his arms. She hummed and began to cry.
The man was caught off guard. The left side of his chest, wet with tears, jumped heavily.
“I’m sorry.” Shen Yanqing lowered his head and hugged her with mixed feelings. For a moment, he did not know how to explain and could only apologize silently.
“You clearly said last time that this won’t happen again…” Nan Ge cried, unable to say a complete sentence.
However, Shen Yanqing still heard her intermittent words.
“I…” He wanted to say something but hesitated. “I actually took the medicine and had an appointment with the doctor. I just didnt expect my body to be so weak. It’s even worse than I imagined.”
“Did I scare you just now?”
Nan Ge hugged him tightly. “Boohoo, you’re lying to me again! You always lie to me.”
Shen Yanqing’s eyelashes fluttered, and his long eyelashes lowered to hide the darkness in his eyes.
He had always been eloquent and could always convince someone with a few words.
But now, after struggling a few times, he still apologized in the end. “I’m sorry.”
He did not say why he was hiding it. At this moment, everything he said seemed to be in denial.
A mistake was a mistake.
“The doctor said that if you didn’t come to the hospital earlier, you would have gone into shock when the situation became serious. At that time, it would be very difficult for you to even breathe. You didn’t even tell me. You could have at least told me!”
She was still playing in front in a daze and did not notice how much pain he was in behind her.
Nan Ge blamed herself. If she had not made a fuss about coming, things would not have turned out like this.
“I let my guard down this time, mainly because I didn’t expect to get drunk tonight. My original plan tonight was to have fun with you. I didn’t expect it to turn out like this.”
“I won’t lie to you anymore… This time, it’s indeed my fault.”
“It’s not that I didn’t want to tell you about it back then. It was just a little sudden. I didn’t react quickly enough.”
Shen Yanqing closed his eyes, and the tears at the corners of his eyes fell silently. “Nan Ge, I’m sorry..”
