Chapter 630: Using Blood as Medicine
Hou Ze was both surprised and delighted: "Nan Shan, congratulations, it's great that you can recover!"
Nan Shan's gaze instantly returned to what it was before: "Recover from what?"
Zheng Qinnian and Hou Ze were surprised once again.
Wasn't everything fine just now? Why the sudden switch to a non-normal tone of voice?
Hou Ze wanted to ask, but Zheng Qinnian grabbed his arm and shook his head at him.
Hou Ze could only shut his mouth and stopped pursuing the matter.
Could this be a sign of recovery?
Zheng Qinnian considered whether or not to tell Nan Qiao about this discovery.
Would informing Nan Qiao have a positive impact on Nan Shan's condition?
Nan Shan's gaze shifted from muddled to clear.
Zheng Qinnian sensed someone was watching him, and when he met Nan Shan's cold gaze, he was startled.
Nan Shan's gaze was indeed quite intimidating.
"Don't tell my master." Nan Shan said again.
"I won't say anything, don't worry, I surely won't." Zheng Qinnian assured him.
Receiving such a response, Nan Shan closed his eyes and fell into a slumber.
Zheng Qinnian and Hou Ze sat together, gaining a different understanding of Nan Shan's series of reactions.
Zheng Qinnian: "I think he's getting better."
Hou Ze: "I don't want your opinion; I only want my opinion. I feel like he's not getting better, but rather showing signs of a final burst of energy."
How could intellectually declined Nan Shan suddenly become normal?
Hou Ze always felt it was more like a final burst of energy.
Zheng Qinnian: "We cannot rule out this possibility. I will consult Old Tang for specifics. We shouldn't mention this to Qiaoqiao, to prevent her from worrying."
"I certainly won't say anything. The boss already feels guilty because of Nan Shan. If we tell her more, I'm afraid she won't be able to eat or sleep in peace."
The two agreed to keep quiet, trusting each other.
...
Li Tianyi's tech company was in chaos due to the loss of Zhao Xun's assistance.
The new person in charge had ideas that clashed with Zhao Xun's, resulting in halted projects that needed to be redone.
Li Chengyan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Seeing him like this, Li Tianyi couldn't help but scold: "Chengyan, you really have no composure. Are you going to be driven to distraction over such minor issues? What will you do if you're tasked with managing all the Li Family's companies? Won't you be scared to death?"
Li Chengyan was taken aback, all the Li Family's companies?
Wasn't the authority firmly in Li Yehan's hands?
Li Chengyan dared not entertain such a thought, having never considered that possibility.
"Dad, I'm sorry for disappointing you." Li Chengyan lowered his head.
"Saying sorry is useless; you need to find a solution. If you don't, our tech company will face bankruptcy!"
Li Tianyi couldn't swallow the situation.
Things were clearly heading in a good direction, so why did it all go awry?
Li Chengyan kept his head down, not daring to respond regardless of what Li Tianyi said.
Li Tianyi squinted, realizing it was time to showcase true skills.
...
Rong Yan finally returned to work, looking vibrant, a stark contrast to his previously sickly state.
Fu Qingyan immediately went to his office.
Rong Yan noticed Fu Qingyan didn't look well.
"Yanyan, are you sick?"
Fu Qingyan forced a faint smile on her pale face and coughed a few times.
"I'm fine, I just haven't rested well these past couple of days."
"If you haven't rested well, why not take a leave? I'll approve it so you can go rest." Rong Yan said with concern.
"There's no need to go rest, I can continue working. Now that you're back at work, I'll apply for leave immediately. I don't want you to handle so much alone; it pains me to see you do so much."
Rong Yan stood up and poured Fu Qingyan a cup of hot water.
Fu Qingyan took out two pills from her bag and swallowed them.
"What medicine are you taking?"
"Just ordinary cold medicine."
Rong Yan still felt something wasn't quite right.
The former Fu Qingyan was lively and energetic, unlike now where she seemed drained and listless.
Rong Yan was deeply concerned, holding onto Fu Qingyan's hand, attempting to take her outside.
"I'm taking you to the hospital."
Fu Qingyan clutched his hand, continually shaking her head: "I don't want to go, I really don't, I'm fine, I don't need to go to the hospital."
No matter what Rong Yan said, Fu Qingyan remained unmoved.
In their struggle, Rong Yan accidentally touched Fu Qingyan.
Fu Qingyan let out a hissing sound, as if she was in pain like she got injured.
Rong Yan was startled and immediately checked on her.
"You're hurt."
Rong Yan saw blood flowing down Fu Qingyan's inner arm, trickling down her wrist.
"How did you get hurt?" Rong Yan was shocked.
Rong Yan found a first aid kit and rolled up Fu Qingyan's sleeve, discovering that blood had soaked through the bandage, likely from him accidentally touching her during their tussle.
Rong Yan re-dressed her wound, sitting across from her with a complex expression.
"How did your hand get injured like this?"
Fu Qingyan stayed silent.
Rong Yan: "Can't you tell me?"
Fu Qingyan raised her head, tears in her eyes, evoking sympathy.
"I... I saw how sick you were, and I heard that adding human blood to medicine could make you better faster. The medicinal meals I brought you over the past few days contained my blood."
Rong Yan: "..."
Rong Yan felt a mix of emotions; he didn't expect Fu Qingyan to go to such lengths for him.
"Yanyan, are you crazy? Adding blood to medicine, how could you believe such nonsense." Rong Yan held her hand, filled with pain and sorrow.
"My injury is nothing; as long as you're well, I'm happy. Seeing you okay now brings me relief." Fu Qingyan's beautiful face paired with her affectionate eyes was utterly beguiling.
"Rong Yan, are you angry? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hidden it from you, but I just couldn't bear to see you ill. I wanted you to recover quickly."
Rong Yan embraced Fu Qingyan, feelings complicated, voice soft with warmth: "Yanyan, don't ever do something silly like that again. Seeing you hurt breaks my heart."
...
Rong Yan sat in Nan Qiao's office, recounting the incident to her.
"Mr. Qiao, I didn't expect she would do that much for me. With such an incredible girl, I'm not worthy of her."
Nan Qiao: "You should take Fu Qingyan to the hospital. The wounds can vary in seriousness, don't risk nerve damage. Work isn't urgent, safety comes first."
"I told her, and she insisted she's fine, adamant about waiting until after work to go to the hospital."
Nan Qiao grasped the direction of events, considering other plans silently.
"Fu Qingyan treats you well; you need to cherish that."
"Mr. Qiao, I feel she treats me well too. I never imagined she would go to such extents for me." Rong Yan found it hard to believe.
Nan Qiao laughed: "It proves you've met the right person."
Rong Yan bashfully scratched his head, feeling quite embarrassed.
Nan Qiao asked: "Since you're both doing well, why not co-host the upcoming product launch event together, make it lively and festive. Remember, everything needs to go smoothly."
Rong Yan: "Rest assured, Mr. Qiao, I'll give it my all!"
No mistakes can happen!
