"really? director zhao, thank you so much. " luo ping was overjoyed upon hearing zhao wei's acknowledgement.

"you're welcome. then there's nothing else. let's end it here for today." zhao wei looked at chen yanzhuo and said, "special a.s.sistant chen, i have a plan in a while. you are in charge of sending miss huo home."

"there's no need to trouble yourself. i'll just send you off, miss huo." luo ping said.

"it's not a problem. chen's house is just around the corner from miss huo's. it's not early today, so we'll leave it at that." after exchanging glances with chen yanzhuo, he turned to huo xiwen and said, "miss huo, please, i'll take you home."

huo xi wen looked at luo ping: "manager luo, you've worked hard today. chen te is taking me home, you don't have to worry, go rest early. there's still a meeting tomorrow morning."

"ok, miss huo. take care then. see you tomorrow." when luo ping saw that huo xiwen had agreed to let chen yanzhuo see them off, he no longer had any doubts. he respectfully escorted them to the door and watched them board the car before turning around and heading back to his own.

after huo xiwen and chen yanzhuo got on the car, the car drove for a while. when they were pa.s.sing by the river, huo xiwen held her stomach and suddenly said, "stop the car."

"what's wrong? is there something wrong with you? " chen yanzhuo slowed down and asked.

"i want to go to the bathroom." huo xiwen said.

"the bathroom? "here?" chen yanzhuo looked around and really saw a public restroom on the roadside in front of him. he immediately drove the car over and stopped. "you go in, i'll wait outside …"

without waiting for him to finish his words, huo xiwen quickly opened the car door and got off.

chen turned off the engine and looked in the direction of the public bathroom, patiently waiting for her to come out.

but five minutes later …

ten minutes …

fifteen minutes...

twenty minutes …

just like that, time slowly pa.s.sed, but huo xiwen's figure still did not appear.

could something have happened?

he thought back to the moment she got off the car. she seemed to be in a hurry as she dashed down the stairs.

although he knew the probability of an accident was small, he was not afraid of ten thousand. he was afraid of what if, in this world, other than his own sister, the most important woman in his life, he could not use common sense to a.n.a.lyze her, so he was worried.

he got out of the car and locked the door. without caring about the difference between man and woman, he went straight to the ladies' bathroom and peeked inside.

there was no one in the bathroom because it was already 11 pm and the location was far away from the river.

he looked inside and didn't see a single person. he then walked in and shouted towards the closed grid doors: "xi wen, are you there?"

just as his voice fell, he saw the third grid door open from the inside. huo xiwen's face was deathly pale and he was sweating profusely. his hands were placed on the doork.n.o.b and his body leaned against the wall, "i'm here …"

seeing her like that, chen yanzhuo was terrified. he immediately stepped forward and supported her, "what happened? what's wrong with you? "

clutching his stomach with one hand, huo xiwen said with a pained expression, "it's nothing, don't worry, it's just a physical problem."

"physiological problems?" at first, chen yanzhuo was surprised, then he realized what was going on. he carried her in his arms and walked out.

when he got to the car door, chen yanzhuo opened it with one hand and was about to put her on the seat, but huo xiwen quickly said, "put me down, put a plastic bag on the chair first, don't dirty the car."

"stupid woman, is this the time to care about those details?" chen yanzhuo's heart was aching, but she was also angry. at this time, she still had the heart to think about these things.

after being scolded like that, huo xiwen felt his heart warm up, "i was just worried about your car getting dirty …"

"the car isn't as important as you." after saying that, chen yanzhuo put her on the seat, turned around and sat on the driver's seat, started the car, and immediately drove away.

in the car, because of the physical pain, huo xiwen's entire face turned pale. large beads of sweat dripped from his body, and his expression was full of pain.

the steering wheel suddenly turned to the left and changed directions.

"where are you taking me? my family is not in this direction. " seeing that, huo xiwen asked.

"you're in so much pain, what are we going to do when we get home?" chen yanzhuo asked, stepping on the gas pedal harder.

"you're not going to take me to the hospital, are you? "no need, i'm sick. don't go to the hospital, it's too embarra.s.sing." huo xiwen didn't want to go to the hospital, so she said weakly.

"don't talk, take a rest first." chen turned the car around and drove forward.

when the car stopped, he found himself in front of a small, unfamiliar building.

"what is this place?" she asked, opening and closing her pale lips.

chen yanzhuo walked around the car door and picked her up, "this is my house."

"oh, your home." huo xi wen nodded, but in the next second, she looked at him with a face full of shock: "what? your home? you... why did you bring me to your house? put me down, i... i want to go home. "

once she struggled, her stomach began to hurt even more. that intense pain was as if dozens of cars had crushed her stomach at once. it was so painful that cold sweat broke out all over her body, causing her to tremble.

"don't move, i'm not responsible if you fall." chen yanzhuo warned her.

at this moment, he could only obediently lean into huo xiwen's arms and let him carry him into the room. he directly carried her into the bathroom, placed her in the bathtub, and then helped her turn on the hot water, "first, take a hot bath. i'll prepare a change of clothes for you and put it on the bed in the bedroom outside. the towel on the towel rack is clean, you can use it."

after finishing his orders, he went out.

huo xiwen took off her dirty clothes and soaked herself in the warm water. the pain had been alleviated a lot.

when she came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, she saw that on the bed outside, there was a set of pure cotton lady's clothes, as well as her happy underwear, pants, and a towel.

huo xiwen was stunned as he looked at the items in front of him.

did he just go out to buy them, or did he have them in his house?

could it be his girlfriend, vivian?

thinking of this, she felt inexplicably frustrated in her heart.

however, her clothes were too dirty to wear. she had no choice but to wear the clothes in front of her.
