Chapter 680: 0670 continues to stand guard Chapter 680: 0670 continues to stand guard Ling Qingan’s eyes suddenly widened, not daring to believe the man would suddenly do this to her.

Her face was extremely pale, with resistance and aversion written all over her expression.

Her hands were pushing against his shoulders, struggling incessantly.

Wen Jichen pinned her wrists with both hands, pressing her down on the sofa.

Regardless of her wishes, he pried open her lips, and the warm ginseng soup was forced down her throat.

“Cough cough…”

Ling Qingan’s face turned beet red, the previously pale complexion now tinged with flushes of color.

“The woman outside? None of them are as ungrateful as you. I’d like to see just how long this defiant attitude of yours can last!”

Wen Jichen felt that the woman before him was truly the most provoking person in the world.

A few words were enough to ignite the rage in his chest.

He could barely contain the fury in his chest as he poured another spoonful of soup and once again forcefully parted her lips.

Ling Qingan had seen Wen Jichen rage before.

Aside from the day she fled the country, she had truly never seen him in such a state!

His whole body exuded a chilling aura, as if he was back to the point where he wanted to kill her!

She used all her strength to push the man in front of her away, but as he felt her resistance, he gripped her shoulders even more forcefully.

Ling Qingan endured the headache and bit him hard, causing Wen Jichen to flinch in pain and release her.

Ling Qingan curled up on the sofa, hugging herself tightly, biting her lip hard and glaring at him with all her might.

Wen Jichen sneered at the sight of her resistant and defensive posture.

“We’ve done things far worse than this. Who are you trying to fool with that innocent act now?”

Ling Qingan’s eyes involuntarily shrank, a sharp pain shooting through her head.

She reached up to cover her head. It hurt!

Very much!

But it seemed there was somewhere else that hurt even more!

“Get out! Get the hell out!”

Her gentle and soft voice had never seemed as ear-splitting as it did now!

However, Wen Jichen disregarded her entirely and picked up the ginseng soup from the coffee table, intending to approach her again.

“Wen, Jichen!”

Ling Qingan’s eyes widened in horror, she screamed out loud, her body retreating backward, her pale face full of terror.

Wen Jichen held the item in front of her, his voice cold.

“Drink it, or I don’t mind feeding you in the same manner as before!”

Ling Qingan shuddered all over, and only after confirming that Wen Jichen wouldn’t do anything else did she, trembling, take the item from him.

Her lips trembled as did her whole body; perhaps she drank too hastily because she started coughing violently.

Wen Jichen quickly pulled out a couple of tissues wanting to wipe the drops at the corner of her mouth, only to see her pulling back even tighter.

His eyes darkened and he ended up tossing the tissues onto her.

Ling Qingan grabbed them and clenched them tightly in her hand.

“Eat everything on the table!” he said again, his voice cold with an unmistakable command.

The meal had been prepared according to her tastes and appetite–it wasn’t much, but it was rich and plentiful.

Ling Qingan’s eyelids twitched in alarm, and after a long time, she moved from the sofa, inching towards the coffee table.

She picked up the chopsticks, her motions a bit frantic.

But as a young lady who had been pampered from childhood, even her slightly rushed movements exuded elegance and nurture.

Wen Jichen watched her in silence, not saying a word.

Only after Ling Qingan laid down her chopsticks did his deep voice ring out again.

“Once you’ve finished eating, go and rest on the bed.”

Ling Qingan sat silently on the sofa, not moving.

Seeing this, Wen Jichen chuckled.

“What? Want me to carry you to bed?”

Ling Qingan shuddered again; it seemed she was truly frightened by Wen Jichen’s behavior just now. She pushed up her feeble body, and staggered to the bed.

She pulled back the covers, silently laying down, then pulled the blanket over her head tightly, covering herself from head to toe.

Wen Jichen sat on the sofa, watching her, gently touching the corner of his lip where she had bitten him, his gaze deepening.

As he thought of her intense resistance and aversion from before, his dark eyes grew even more somber.

He sat silently in the hospital room until he heard her breathing gradually stabilize, and then he stood up and walked to the bedside.

He reached out and pulled away the blanket that covered her head, revealing a pale face without a trace of color, which due to deep sleep was tinged with a faint blush.

Provocation?

Since he had become the one to provoke her.

Why not provoke her even deeper!

His face was somber, and he stood silently at the bedside.

It was a while before he turned and left the hospital room!

“Director Wen.”

Xiao Yan stood outside the door, and upon seeing the person coming out of the hospital room, immediately greeted him respectfully.

“Keep guarding.”

Keep guarding?

Was this… imprisoning Miss Ling?

“But Director Wen, Miss Ling she…”

If she was determined to leave, they wouldn’t be able to stop her.

Wen Jichen turned and left, coolly dropping a sentence behind.

“After tonight, let her go!”

Xiao Yan lowered his eyes and responded in a low voice.

–
On the other side.

Not long after Su Ran had parted from Wen Jichen, she received a call from Fu Qiyuan.

“Hello?”

“Why are you at the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?”

Su Ran was startled for a moment, then realized.

“Did Wen Jichen tell you?”

“Mm, why didn’t you tell me if you were feeling unwell? Where does it hurt? I’ll come over right now.”

Listening to the man’s anxious voice, a slight warmth filled Su Ran’s heart.

But hearing that he was about to come to the hospital, she quickly spoke up.

“It’s not me, I’m fine.”

“Hmm?”

Fu Qiyuan’s voice conveyed his confusion over the phone.

“It’s Zhichen, she has a stomach ache, I’m accompanying her for a check-up.”

“How so? She joined you for a meal and ended up with a stomach problem?”

Su Ran: “…”

Even through the phone, she could hear the displeasure in the man’s voice.

It was because she had declined his invitation yesterday, choosing instead to have lunch with Ye Zhichen.

Su Ran sighed softly, rarely offering an explanation for her friend.

“She probably hurt her stomach during the days I was in Country Y.”

On hearing this, Fu Qiyuan also fell silent for a while.

The days Su Ran was in Country Y, indeed much of Qianran International’s business had piled up on Ye Zhichen’s shoulders.

One woman managing two companies at the same time, one could imagine how busy she must have been.

Forget it, considering she was sick, he wouldn’t hold it against her for monopolizing his woman this time!

“The results for Zhichen should be out soon, I won’t keep you any longer.”

Fu Qiyuan pursed his lips, was silent for a long time, and then said:
“…Okay.”

After Su Ran hung up the phone, she looked at her mobile and couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

A simple “okay,” and how could she feel a tinge of grievance in it?

She put away her phone and hurriedly headed toward the gastroenterology department.

She had delayed quite a bit of time, and she didn’t know what was happening with Zhichen.

Rushing over, Su Ran then saw Ye Zhichen sitting in the department’s waiting area.

She was slightly tilting her head down, looking at the paper in her hand, seemingly lost in thought.
