After Divorce: Pursued by Cohabiting Boss

Chapter 26

Zhao Yan looked at Yu Sheng’s face change dramatically in an instant. Before he could ask, she quickly said, "I heard she went out today for an outdoor photoshoot, but she fell..."

"Get to the point! How is she?!" Yu Sheng's throat was burning.

Zhao Yan: "I'm not too sure either. My colleagues just said it seemed like she hurt her hand..."

Lu Yanming's phone rang, his voice cold and deep, "Where is she?"

Zhao Yan noticed both bosses' gloomy faces, unconsciously sweating on her forehead, "I don't know, we'll have to contact the advertising department. They have people accompanying her."

Before Zhao Yan could finish, Yu Sheng was already out the door.

"This..." Wang Peng was stunned for a moment.

It was an accident involving the advertising department's employee, he was the marketing director, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to go.

To pay a visit, it should be him and the vice president who should go.

"Yanming, why don't we also..." Wang Peng turned his head, only to find no one beside him.

Zhao Yan wiped sweat and said, "Director Wang, President Lu seems to have gone too."

"Young people these days..." Wang Peng hurried to catch up.

In the hospital corridor, people crowded around each other.

Li Zhen sat on a chair in the hallway, her right hand bandaged and hung on her chest, while her left hand was on an IV drip.

Zhang Xiya sat next to her complaining, "After having a dislocated wrist and swelling up like this, she doesn't even have a bed, isn't our little Zhenzhen suffering too much?"

"All major hospitals are like this, beds are tight." Qiao Yi squatted down with a plastic bag as a makeshift trash can, peeling fruit.

The corridor was too crowded and small, they could only make do with minimal items.

Meng Yuanjie's face was ugly, "It's the fault of the crew, they didn't take the set decoration seriously at all! Causing Li Zhen to fall like this."

"You were there, why didn't you pay more attention!" Zhang Xiya glared at him.

Meng Yuanjie was also angry with himself, why didn't he pay more attention today.

Today's outdoor shoot was for full body models together. Usually partial body models don't need to be present on location shoots. Li Zhen was notified at the last minute to shoot full body flat lays, also her first outdoor shoot at Macro Ocean. Things were a bit strange, it also instantly pushed Li Zhen into the limelight. Her sudden opportunity to shoot full body caused all sorts of sour gossip in the department...

Never expected that during the shoot, she would fall. Her wrist dislocated when she tried to brace her fall on the ground. Her right hand was completely swollen, with many small cuts on her hand from the jagged rocks.

He should have paid more attention to her, Meng Yuanjie was also angry with himself.

Especially when news of Li Zhen's accident spread in the work group chat, some even made snide remarks like "She fought for the full body shoot opportunity herself, but ended up falling, what a pity", "Isn't this our big star? Became the top pick and got to shoot full body but fell instead, look at this." Meng Yuanjie saw these comments and became even angrier.

"Yuanjie was also busy at the time, I'm fine..." Li Zhen said strongly.

Compared to the other three's low moods, she sounded the least like a patient.

Li Zhen's dislocated wrist has already been set back in place, the IV drip reduced the swelling, and the wounds on her hand have been medicated to stop bleeding and bandaged. The doctor said with rest for about a week she would fully recover.

Li Zhen couldn't stand the low pressure from the other three, "It's just an injured hand, it's not a big deal..."

"Just an injured hand?" A low, angry voice sounded.

The three were so scared they shuddered.

Looking up, it was Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng's dark eyes were frighteningly gloomy, "You think the injury wasn't serious enough?"

Li Zhen was so angry she wanted to retort, but seeing Yu Sheng like this, she couldn't get the words out.

Yu Sheng's usually neat hair was slightly disheveled now. His sleeves messily rolled up to his elbows, revealing his muscular arms.

His neck was covered in sweat, seeping into his shirt collar.

One look and you could tell he rushed over urgently.

Li Zhen lowered her head and said softly, "That's not what I meant."

Yu Sheng's features were chiseled and sharp, but now his eyes were bloodshot. He walked over step by step, his footsteps heavy and steady.

Zhang Xiya and the others felt the approaching pressure and became somewhat afraid. They had thought President Yu would explode in anger and scold them.

But the next second, they witnessed something that made their jaws drop, completely unable to believe their eyes.

Yu Sheng's tall figure suddenly lowered down, kneeling on one knee, and pulled Li Zhen into his embrace.

His voice was hoarse and aggressive, "Are you a child? How could you fall and hurt yourself!"

Everyone gave different versions about Li Zhen's condition, Yu Sheng's heart rate never went back to normal the whole way here. Seeing her now with an IV drip and bandages, looking wretched sitting here, he was both angry and anxious.

Yu Sheng hugged Li Zhen tightly, his racing heart still hadn't calmed down.

The corridor was crowded with people coming and going, narrow and cramped.

Passersby couldn't help but glance at them.

Qiao Yi: ......

Zhang Xiya: ......

Meng Yuanjie: ......

The three's eyes shook violently, exchanging looks with each other, not saying anything but conveying everything with their eyes.

Zhang Xiya swiftly created a small chat with the three on her phone.

Zhang Xiya: 【......What does this mean? What does this mean?】

Attached was a frightened kitten expression pack.

Meng Yuanjie: 【......It can't be what I'm thinking right?】

Qiao Yi: 【......It should be exactly that!】

Zhang Xiya: 【Ahhhhh! So our little Zhenzhen has gotten President Yu! Such promise! Smug kitten hitting bed ipg.】

Meng Yuanjie: 【Control your expressions! President Yu is right there!】

Zhang Xiya knew that too.

But it was too difficult, she couldn't control herself!

Zhang Xiya had already lost control of her expressions, baring her teeth in a grin would be an apt description. 【Ahhhhh! I can't control it! The big male god actually got taken down by my sister, should I be jealous or give blessings!】

Zhang Xiya: 【No! The point is! President Yu that little Zhenzhen got was our president! Aren't we going to benefit and be able to strut around the company now?】

Qiao Yi carefully glanced at Yu Sheng and Li Zhen, and stealthily typed: 【Did you forget the company prohibits workplace relationships? We can't talk about this.】

Without Qiao Yi's reminder, Meng Yuanjie and Zhang Xiya naturally knew too.

Li Zhen had one hand on an IV drip and one hand hung up, she didn't dare move at all, "Yu Sheng, let me go."

But Yu Sheng only held her tighter.

-

Wang Peng followed behind Lu Yanming the whole way.

Although Wang Peng was older in age, he rarely went to hospitals.

The pungent smell of disinfectant and the loud, chaotic noises made his head buzz.

Exiting the elevator and turning a corner, Lu Yanming who was walking urgently suddenly stopped in his tracks.

If not for Wang Peng's quick reflexes, he would have bumped into him, "Why did you stop, Yanming?"

The whole way here Lu Yanming had the pedal to the metal.

Why did he suddenly stop here?

Although he didn't understand, after just a second Wang Peng hurriedly nodded, "Alright, I'll head back first then."

Wang Peng took two steps and heard the dejected voice behind him, "Director Wang, do you have cigarettes?"

"I do." Wang Peng looked back in surprise and took out the cigarettes and lighter, handing them over, "Don't you not smoke?"

Lu Yanming took them without responding.

Wang Peng felt it was strange but didn't ask more, and turned to leave.

Lu Yanming leaned against the icy wall, lazily standing there, closing his unique light colored eyes, breathing heavily with his chest slowly rising and falling.

Behind him in the corridor, Yu Sheng was kneeling and hugging Li Zhen.

Amongst the flowing crowd.

Their image was especially eye-catching.

You couldn't smoke in the hospital. Lu Yanming took out an unlit cigarette, biting it between his lips. The faint nicotine scent spread in his mouth.

"Li Zhen." The low, slow voice spilled from his throat.

There was uncontrollable sourness in his eyes.

He raised his hand to take off the gold rimmed glasses.

The distinct hand pressed on his aching eyes.

His heart ached, tingling all over.

It wasn't jealousy.

He was just so afraid.

Lu Yanming sent a message to Fei Zhao.

【Arrange a patient room.】

-

Li Zhen's luck exploded.

While getting the IV drip, she was suddenly notified that a VIP suite room was available.

The doctor who oversaw her relocation in under three minutes just now, now accompanied by the hospital president, several department chiefs, and three nurses, enthusiastically led her to the patient room holding up her IV drip.

Li Zhen looked at the spacious luxurious patient room, then back at the group of doctors and nurses behind her, her mood instantly plummeted to rock bottom, "Doctor, I can handle it, just tell me straight."

The hospital president's face struggled, "But, that person said not to say..."

Li Zhen looked to Yu Sheng, "You told them not to say?"

Yu Sheng shook his head, also wondering about the current situation.

Li Zhen was not feeling well after standing and squatting in the corridor for a long time. Her waist and back ached. Now she saw that there was a doctor accompanying Yu Sheng while Zhang Xiya and the other two were already lying on the sofa.

Li Zhen took a deep breath and asked the doctor, "Doctor, stop beating around the bush. Is it cancer? How many months do I have left?"

Seeing her in this state, the hospital probably figured she had less than three months left. In a flash, she had already thought through how to settle her affairs afterwards.

The chief doctor immediately understood what Li Zhen meant. "No, no, you've misunderstood. It's...it's just that our hospital currently has reporters doing interviews, so today we're raising our service standards."

Li Zhen patted her chest. "You scared me to death. Your service standards improved too suddenly. I suggest you be more pragmatic. Vanity projects are not advisable."

"Ok, ok," the head doctor quickly nodded.

A nurse helped Li Zhen onto the bed while the head doctor hung up an IV drip for her. Then a dozen or so doctors filed in one after another, bringing several instruments and attaching various real-time monitoring devices to her body.

Until a transparent tube was brought to her mouth, Li Zhen really couldn't take it anymore. "Doctor, I'm only 26 this year."

She had endured the IV drip and real-time monitoring of her pulse and heartbeat, but she didn't need an oxygen mask, right? This gave her the false impression that her life was in critical danger.

The hospital's vanity project was really over the top.

-

After the IV drip, Zhang Xiya and the others accompanied Li Zhen to the hospital entrance.

Li Zhen took a deep breath. She felt like the air outside was sweet, even though the sky was gloomy and looked like it would rain.

Just now in the VIP room, only Yu Sheng had sat by the bed the entire time to accompany Li Zhen. Zhang Xiya and the other two found the hospital room so comfortable that they had taken a nap. Now at the hospital entrance, they were enjoying stretching lazily.

"Let's go, Meng Yuanjie..." Li Zhen walked ahead feeling carefree and comfortable.

But Meng Yuanjie didn't follow.

Li Zhen looked back in surprise. "Let's go. Weren't you going to drive me back?"

Meng Yuanjie scratched his nose and glanced at Yu Sheng standing impressively to the side. "Li Zhen, I...I'm out of gas. I need to refuel and can't drive you back."

Before Li Zhen could ask, Zhang Xiya quickly chimed in, "Oh dear, how unlucky. I'm out of gas too."

Li Zhen instantly understood what was going on with them.

She looked at Qiao Yi, "Are you out of gas too?"

Qiao Yi smiled. "I knew you were here after getting Zhang Xiya's message, so I didn't drive over. I came with her."

Yu Sheng had already opened the passenger door of his Mercedes-Benz. "Get in, I'll drive you back."

Zhang Xiya and the others had a shocked expression, gazing at the two with eyes full of stars.

Li Zhen: ...

Li Zhen got in.

Yu Sheng bent down slightly, reached out and pulled the seatbelt over her, buckling her in.

From the perspective of the other three, it looked like Yu Sheng was gently holding Li Zhen in his embrace.

Zhang Xiya was screaming hysterically inside!

Yu Sheng straightened up and went around to the driver's seat, stepping on the gas pedal and leaving.

In the car, Yu Sheng's gaze calmly watched the road ahead. He had wanted to ask earlier, "You're a hand model. Why were you on a location shoot today?"

"I don't know either. I got a sudden notice to do a full body flat lay shoot." Li Zhen also found it strange when mentioning it.

"How did you fall?"

"It was an accident. Today's location was a cement platform about one meter high. I was standing on it, it was too slippery and I fell off."

In order to get the desired photo effect, the platform was over one meter high.

Below was all jagged gravel spread out.

To prevent her face from hitting the ground, when she fell the only thing she could do was try to brace herself with her hands. As a result, she dislocated her shoulder and the sharp gravel also scraped her and caused some wounds.

Yu Sheng nodded slightly and didn't say anything more, but his dark eyes gradually darkened.

What a coincidence?

She was suddenly arranged to do a location shoot and got injured the first time?

Drip, drip. Raindrops lightly tapped on the car window.

It started raining.

Li Zhen looked out the window and suddenly exclaimed, "Wait! This isn't the road to my dorm!"

"You still want to live alone?" Yu Sheng glanced at her dangling right hand. His dark eyes deepened. "With your hand like this, how will you eat and bathe?"

Li Zhen didn't react for a moment. "Then where are you taking me?"

Yu Sheng coldly threw out, "Come home with me."
