Mr. CEO Has a Crush on Me

"I wasn’t planning to追究到底. If you say let it go, then we’ll let it go." Yue Siqing stood up, hiding the flash of coldness in his eyes, lowered his head and kissed the side of her face. "And that wasn’t some inexplicable misunderstanding."

Gu Anjin blocked his face; if he kept kissing her, she really wouldn’t be able to stay mad.

She was very annoyed at herself for being so soft-hearted.

In the past, as long as he softened his tone a little, she’d let it go.

She’d finally made up her mind; she couldn’t afford to be so weak in her stance.

But when he was like this... she practically had no way to resist.

"If it’s not a misunderstanding, then what is it? Jealousy?" She puffed out her cheeks, looking at him with dissatisfaction and confusion.

Yue Siqing’s expression froze slightly; he rubbed her head. "Whatever it is, it definitely isn’t without a reason. I’ve got something to take care of, I’ll be back later. Get some good rest, okay?"

Jealousy is just jealousy...

What’s so hard about admitting it.

"Can I go to the hospital?"

Hearing him say he had something to do, she couldn’t help being a little worried he’d go and do something again.

Yue Siqing hesitated for a moment. Seeing the plea in her eyes, he knew what she was misunderstanding.

"Mm, I’ll come pick you up after I’m done." He nodded, still looking not very happy.

This change was like a shaft of light thrown into Gu Anjin’s originally tangled heart.

She immediately stood up, tiptoed, and wrapped her arms around his neck to kiss him.

This time she was starting to believe he really was trying to change.

Yue Siqing gazed at this smile he hadn’t seen for a long time and, unusually, curved his lips. "Don’t go too early, just look in on him for a few minutes."

He walked out of the manor, got in the car, and called his subordinates.

"Look into what happened with Song Yi."

"His hand is ruined? When did I ever say I wanted you to废掉 his hand?"

"Find out who did it. I don’t buy this ’accident’ explanation."

Gu Anjin didn’t rest for long. She changed her clothes and went to that hospital where Huo Xun was.

Yesterday she’d left before Huo Xun came out of the operating room, so she had no idea which ward he should be in.

"Huo Xun?" The nurse checked and gave an apologetic shrug. "No such person."

"No, no, I mixed it up. It’s Eric Murphy. Or you can check Qin Shen, either is fine."

The nurse gave her a strange look.

One person, and she could say three names.

"Mr. Eric Murphy was discharged yesterday."

"How is that possible, he was badly injured."

The nurse rubbed her big permed blond curls, clearly not wanting to bother with her. "In any case, he’s been discharged."

Gu Anjin had no choice. She went back into the corridor and called Huo Xun.

The call was picked up by Qin Shi, who, as soon as he answered, enthusiastically gave her an address in the city.

He said Huo Xun didn’t like hospitals and insisted on being discharged after the surgery, so he’d changed to another place to recuperate.

"Doing it all mysteriously like this, it’s really strange." After a lot of effort finding the place, it turned out to be a very hidden apartment in the city center.

Qin Shi invited her in. "The boss was asleep just now, so I answered for him. And now he’s been in a bad mood about it, thinks I should’ve woken him up. If I’d known Miss Gu was still going to the hospital today, he wouldn’t have checked out. Miss Gu, the weather is so nice today, why are you wearing so much? Is it really that cold?"

She touched her scarf and mumbled, "A little..."

If she didn’t bundle up more, she wouldn’t have been able to leave the house.

"Then I’ll turn on the heat."

"No, no... don’t, that’s not necessary..."

Gu Anjin hurriedly refused, nervous; if he really turned on the heat, she’d be cooked alive.

A vexed voice came from inside the room. "Let her in!"
