My CEO Husband Can Hear My Inner Thoughts

Chapter 35

There is a very magical magic in this world.

Every time a smile disappears from one person's face, it appears on another person's face.

And by chance, Yi Qingju is the unfortunate fool cursed with the disappearance spell on her smile.

"Sister Monkey..."

At the moment when those people dressed in black suits walked in, Yu Du looked at the girl in front of him in surprise. Her original grinning face suddenly changed and her whole person swiftly drilled under the dining table.

Yi Qingju hugged her knees with an expression of shock on her face.

How could Qi Weiran's people be here!?

The white tablecloth suddenly shook and then Yu Du's tall and long figure also crawled in. The handsome man over 1.8 meters curled up, his eyes flickering as he looked at Yi Qingju in front of him, "Are we playing a game?"

Even in the dim light, his shining eyes reminded Yi Qingju of the silly and clumsy Golden Retriever in the orphanage.

This was the look a puppy gave when it wanted someone to play with it.

Yi Qingju: "...One two three, wooden man, no talking or moving."

Upon hearing this, Yu Du stiffened for a moment, then tried his best to control himself and slowed his nervous breathing.

It suddenly became quiet under the dining table, making the noisy sounds outside even clearer.

Yi Qingju pricked up her ears and listened to the sounds outside.

Some people asked in puzzlement: "What's going on?"

There was also the scraping sound between the legs of chairs and the floor, followed by the hurried footsteps of people running out.

After all kinds of sounds, the restaurant suddenly became deadly silent.

Yi Qingju hesitated for a few seconds before reaching out to lift up the tablecloth next to her and poked her head out.

A pair of long straight legs appeared in front of her without warning, and at this moment she still didn't realize anything was wrong.

She stretched out her finger and poked the man's stiff leg, twisting her head to look in the direction of the door, "Move over, brother."

If Little Jiji had been there at this time, Yi Qingju would definitely not have done something so stupid.

But unfortunately, it wasn't there.

So almost the moment she uttered the words, the system that had been suppressed in her mind suddenly shouted sharply: 【Warning host OOC!! Electric shock punishment will be administered immediately!】

She unbelievingly raised her head. The last thing she saw before fainting was that pair of amber eyes, now filled with complex emotions.

The punishment this time was even more intense than before. Yi Qingju didn't even last one second before passing out.

Qi Weiran was stunned.

Was he really that scary?

When he squatted down wanting to pick the girl up, Wan Sui who had been following him saw the situation and thoughtfully lifted up the tablecloth.

So.

When Qi Weiran raised his eyes, they met Yu Du's, who was curled up under the table not moving a muscle.

Wan Sui's heart thudded.

This was catching someone red-handed in an affair...

Qi Weiran's expressionlessly said, "Who are you?"

So this was that male anchor?

Yu Du didn't even shift his gaze once, only moving his lips, "I'm a wooden man."

Qi Weiran instantly understood.

After picking the girl up, he calmly and kindly instructed Wan Sui, "Send this wooden man back to the psychiatric hospital."

Wan Sui: "...Okay sir."

Yu Du sat in that luxury car that he couldn't afford even if he was rich, with a completely confused expression on his face.

"Where are we going, brother?" He blinked, looking at Wan Sui.

The man wearing glasses and a professional suit glanced at him and answered gently in imitation of his boss's considerate tone, "The botanical garden."

Yu Du: "Nice~"

Sister Monkey was so righteous to even arrange a day trip to the botanical gardens for him.

But that man from earlier with the yellow eyes...why did he seem a little familiar?

...

Even in her sleep, Yi Qingju was not at ease.

The residual electric current seemed to have seeped into her blood vessels, flowing and circulating within her limbs and hundreds of bones, painfully making it difficult for even her consciousness to easily dissipate.

In her groggy state, she felt her right hand being wrapped by something warm. Only then did Yi Qingju hazily react—

So her hand was this cold.

Seeing the girl's eyelids flutter, Qi Weiran's originally gloomy expression changed. He carefully moved the—

hot water bag he had placed on the back of her hand away.

Considering her low body temperature, he had asked for a hot water bag to wrap her icy cold hands.

Qi Weiran realized for the first time that he was possibly one of those "warm men" talked about online.

Wan Sui next to him could hardly bear to watch.

He didn't expect there would be a day when the word "straight man" would be put on his boss.

Seeing this, the doctor who was standing nervously in the corner carefully said, "Sir... Actually, you can hold Madam's hand. She loves you so much, maybe she'll wake up happily with excitement."

Qi Weiran cast a fleeting glance at him.

The latter instantly shut his mouth.

He was crazy to even try teaching Mr. Qi what to do.

Qi Weiran withdrew his gaze and silently moved the hot water bag back.

Hand holding and stuff...wasn't that too fast?

"You guys go out first," he said, in a tone that brooked no disagreement.

After Wan Sui, the doctor and nurses all exited the room,

Qi Weiran suddenly stood up and slowly leaned down, but stopped just before his lips touched Yi Qingju's earlobe.

In a low voice, he said, "If you don't wake up soon, I'm changing the heir."

It was almost the instant the last word fell—

The girl who had looked to be on the verge of death, brows slightly knitted as if she could give up the ghost at any moment, suddenly 'whoosh' opened her eyes wide.

Qi Weiran: "......"

Why did he feel a little unhappy?

The bright glow in her eyes instantly dimmed the moment she saw Qi Weiran. She struggled to sit up, looking at him weakly. Her pale lips moved as she stretched her hand out towards Qi Weiran—

"Hiss!"

Then the next second her expression twisted from pain.

They both lowered their heads simultaneously.

The back of her hand with the IV drip had swollen up where the hot water bag had been pressing on it.

Furthermore, because of Yi Qingju's movement earlier, it had started bleeding again.

Qi Weiran moved swiftly, deftly pulling out the needle. He grabbed a cotton ball from the tray next to them and pressed it on her wound, brows knitted as he said, "I'll reinsert the IV needle later."

Yi Qingju's acting that she had just brewed up instantly got stuck in her throat.

【How bold! A traitorous subject actually dared harm This Monarch. Which turtle descendant was it?! Putting such a heavy hot water bag on my hand...】

Turtle Descendent Qi Weiran: "......"

"No need sir, I'm fine now." She lowered her head to look at the hideous bruise on the back of her hand, made more obvious by her fair skin.

【My cause unfinished, met an early demise. Later...where's the anchor!? 】

【No, why did that brat Qi Weiran come to find me!】

Qi Weiran looked at Yi Qingju lowering her head to conceal her panic. The corners of his mouth were pressed into almost a straight line.

At a time like this she was still thinking about that wooden man?!

"Yu Du, male, 20 years old, medical student from S University Medical Department. How did you get to know him?"
