Chapter 25: On Fire!
Proofread by Peter Gong
The smoke is all around, and it is almost impossible to see clearly the situation in front of Su Ni. An open flame spreads quickly from the carpet at her feet. Her bathrobe has caught fire, which is going up. Su Ni screams, and at the same time, the door is knocked open.
“Su Ni!”
Somebody screams near the door. It is Qin Yue.
Qin Yue rushes to the fire, then two rows of firefighters come in succession to save Su Ni.
“Are you ok? What happened?”
Qin Yue helps Su Ni, and sees more than half of her bathrobe has burned. He looks anxious and asks, “Are you all right? Are you alone?”
Su Ni nods. She was just frightened. She can’t cry, though she wants to.
Su Ni is sent out in a hurry and taken away by the medical team. She looks back, and the smoke bursts out of the room, becoming thicker and thicker. If she fails to wake up now, she will never wake up.
“Mrs. Su”
At the end of the hospital, Ruan Yichen quickly squeezes over, and sees that Su Ni is still able to walk normally. He is slightly relieved. Seeing that Su Ni is wearing a bathrobe and there is a large black patch on her foot, he takes off his coat and puts it on her without hesitation.
“I’m ok.”
Su Ni reluctantly squeezes a smile and pulls her jacket a little. She has just experienced life and death. Now she is unkempt and embarrassed. She is really a disgrace. “I’m afraid that I can’t attend the meeting in the afternoon.”
“It’s not a big deal. Your safety comes first.”
Ruan Yichen looks worried, and he explains, “I just came here, and I met assistant Qin who is in a hurry. Then I knew that you were in danger.”
Su Ni nods. Fortunately, Qin Yue knows the fact that she came to find Gu Zechen.
In the medical vehicle, the medical staff do a simple check for Su Ni. “It’s just a skin trauma. There are no major problems. “But you have low blood sugar, and your complexion is not very good as well. I suggest you go to hospital for a comprehensive check.”
Su Ni touches her face. Owing to the accident, the tearing feeling in her body becomes more intense. She shakes her head, “I’m fine. Maybe I’m scared. I need rest for a while.”
“Such being the case, I can take you back to rest first.” Ruan Yichen says.
“You don’t have to do that.” Su Ni is about to refuse when there comes a cold and gloomy voice.
Su Ni and Ruan Yichen look back at the same time, and they see a man who has long legs with a white suit. His hands are in the pockets, and he is approaching them. That is Gu Zechen. Su Ni’s mouth twitches. Isn’t this guy gone? Why does he come back again?
Ruan Yichen naturally turns sideways to make way for Gu Zechen. Gu Zechen looks straight. He stares straight at Su Ni, and as he approaches her, he frowns suddenly. He tears off Su Ni’s coat and throws it to Ruan Yichen. “Thanks for your kindness. But she is my lady, and I’ll take care of her.”
After that, in the presence of everyone, Gu Zechen really takes off his white suit and puts it on Su Ni’s shoulder. The people around are still a little dazed, but if they think about it, there is nothing wrong with him. Ruan Yichen smiles relaxedly and doesn’t take it to heart. Then he says to Su Ni, “Since Mr. Gu is here, I will rest assured. Su, take a good rest until you get well. See you in the company.”
“Sorry.” Su Ni apologizes. It seems that Gu Zechen reserves little of others’pride.
As soon as he finishes his words, Gu Zechen glances coldly over them. Su Ni has attempted to explain something, but she can only smile at Ruan Yichen embarrassedly in front of Gu Zechen.
Ruan Yichen seems to understand her, and nods, “I’m leaving now.”
After leaving, Su Ni whispers softly, “I know you are worried about me, but Mr. Ruan helped me just now …”
“There are so many people on the spot. Are they dead? Or do you want his help?” Gu Zechen’s eyes look rather cold. He lives with the fact that Su Ni puts on Ruan’s coat. Now she dares to speak openly for him. Gu Zechen glances at her, with his hands behind his back. He looks at the sky and says, “I wonder what on earth is your relationship?”
Su Ni is stunned. She can’t understand this man’s mind. “Mr. Ruan just came from abroad and didn’t know me before. It happened that he had a meeting today and met Qin Yue. So it just happened.” Su Ni explains honestly.
Gu Zechen snorts, “It has nothing to do with me.” Su Ni opens her mouth. Doesn’t he ask her?
He doesn’t wait for Su Ni to speak again. He bends over and holds Su Ni into his arms. Facing this man, Su Ni feels aggrieved, but Gu Zechen looks extremely gloomy.
When Su Ni gets in Gu Zechen’s car, she feels quiet. The news that the hotel is on fire has also alarmed a lot of journalists and media. In addition to the medical team, there is a lot of noise. “I thought you were gone.” Su Ni whispers.
Gu Zechen drives in person, holding the steering wheel with both hands. The knuckles of his hands protrude and he remains quiet, as if he hasn’t heard her and doesn’t answer. Su Ni moves her body slightly, and she feels pain between her legs again. She can’t help but groan.
Gu Zechen reverses the steering wheel suddenly. Su Ni’s head hits the window, and the “culprit”only glances back at her from the rear mirror. The speed does not decrease.
“I might as well not come back.” Su Ni lowers her voice and mutters softly.
A few minutes later, a Maybach pulls up in front of a hospital. Gu Zechen turns around and holds Su Ni back into his arms.
“What are you doing?” Su Ni shouts.
“Shut up!” Gu Zechen impatiently interrupts Su Ni.
Seeing that he is holding her without any difficulty, Su Ni is also a little worried. Although she is not fat, she is a living person. “I am ok, and put me down.”
The people in the hospital are coming and going in a hurry. Gu Zechen kicks open the door of Doctor’s Office, holding Su Ni in his arms.
“Here is a patient, and come here and have a look!” Gu Zechen orders in a domineering way.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
“… hello, please go to the outpatient clinic first as formal process…” In the office, a dozen doctors sit in a row, and are frightened by Gu Zechen. The doctor who is near Gu Zechen pushes his glasses a little and says acidly.
Seeing that she can’t escape, Su Ni buries her head in Gu Zechen’s arms. She knows that Gu Zechen has always been domineering. However, here is a hospital after all. He shows no restraint. What a shame!
“I don’t want to repeat it again. There is a very important patient here. If she has any accident, none of you will have a good time!” Gu Zechen steps forward and naturally places Su Ni on the doctor’s desk.
Suddenly, it becomes utterly quiet.
“Here is the hospital. Even if you are a high-ranking official or wealthy enough, everyone is equal in front of death …”
