Hidden Marriage, Overbearing Love: Mr! Please Let Me Go

Chapter 830: Chapter 831: Beyond His Control

Standing on the other side, Du Ziheng’s face was lined with frustration. This Beitang Yao must be trying to ruin his reputation in front of Xia Qingqian. If that’s the case, how could he expect Xia Qingqian to rescue him from trouble?

No, he had to find a suitable time to settle this score with Beitang Yao.

”Young Master, Miss Xia only has a thirty-minute break. You should all leave and let her rest for a while.” Ye Feng didn’t want to witness a storm brewing for unknown reasons.

He hurriedly interrupted everyone’s conversation, thereby helping Xia Qingqian, who didn’t know how to answer Beitang Yao’s question.

Beitang Yao didn’t say much either and coldly turned around, leaving the infirmary.

To this day, Du Ziheng, Ye Feng, and Xia Qingqian still didn’t know why Beitang Yao went to the infirmary...

Was it to see if Xia Qingqian was dead, or if she wasn’t seriously harmed she would immediately return to work? This reasoning seemed rather far-fetched. As Du Ziheng said, this boss was truly too ruthless.

Upon leaving the infirmary, Beitang Yao let out a sigh of relief. When he received a call from Xia Qingqian’s office extension reporting her collapse, for a moment, his world seemed to come to a halt, completely spinning out of control.

Yet he calmly said: ”There’s an infirmary in the company.”

But he was truly tense inside, though he forced himself to abandon such thoughts, as he couldn’t allow his heart to race for a woman again.

After all, she was merely a toy he had purchased with money, completely unworthy of causing him to act so strangely.

He waited in his office for a long time, but no one reported even a shred of news about her—whether she was dead or couldn’t get up—there was no definite answer.

The air in the office felt suffocating; he couldn’t stand to remain even a second longer and took the CEO’s private elevator to the infirmary.

Upon entering, he first saw Du Ziheng gently offering food to Xia Qingqian and expressing sympathy and even pity for her, going so far as to curse him, his longtime friend.

This woman certainly had a way of captivating so many people.

Ye Feng strongly recommended she take over Miss Cheng’s position, while Du Ziheng wished to borrow her and take her home to meet the family.

These things were completely beyond his control.

Du Ziheng seemed to have something he wanted to say to Xia Qingqian but didn’t know how to begin, standing by the bedside, staring blankly at her.

Xia Qingqian set the bowl aside and smiled, ”Young Master Du, is there something you wanted to say?”

In that moment, Du Ziheng’s heart trembled slightly.

Xia Qingqian’s palm-sized face was as pale as paper, with a smile forced at the corner of her mouth, and a trace of indifference in her eyes.

He truly regretted why he hadn’t been the one to buy her back then.

Du Ziheng didn’t know why, seeing Xia Qingqian lying weak and helpless on the hospital bed, his heart was also at a loss, a wellspring of compassion surging inside.

Perhaps it was due to his nature; he couldn’t bear seeing any beauty suffer the slightest grievance, let alone such a pitiful young girl. How could Du Ziheng not let his compassion overflow?

”Rest well, I’ll come to see you again.” Du Ziheng promised.

Xia Qingqian was deeply grateful, but she absolutely could not do anything that violated the contract.

As Du Ziheng turned to leave, Xia Qingqian leaned forward slightly, ”Young Master Du—” her voice was somewhat hoarse.
