Chapter 739: A Moment Of Attraction

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The ward was a VIP ward, and was very big. There was a small room outside the big room. There was a bathroom and a kitchen next to it.

Just now, in order to get Su Chenghui out of her sight, Li Qianxue didn’t even leave a nurse behind.

Now, only she and Luo Cheng were left in the huge ward.

Luo Cheng held the things in his hands and slowly walked in the direction of the hospital bed. “President Li, I’m sorry. These are all worthless things, but they are still good for the body. You are injured, so take your time to replenish your body. You will need it eventually.”

“President Luo, you are too kind.” Li Qianxue’s voice was more polite than before. “Thank you for coming.”

“President Li, you don’t have to be so polite.” Luo Cheng smiled more affectionately than before.

That intimate attitude made Li Qianxue frown. She was now half sitting on the bed. She was sitting and he was standing. Especially now that she was injured, her complexion was not good. She wasn’t as imposing as usual.

“It’s President Luo who is too polite.”

She, who had difficulty with her limbs, wished that someone could appear quickly. She had been in the business for a long time, so how could she not understand that Luo Cheng had ulterior motives?

She just did not know what he was up to.

“It’s my duty to come and see you. We don’t have to be so polite anymore.”

As Luo Cheng spoke, he walked in the direction of the bed. He casually placed the things in his hands on the headboard and was about to sit down by the bed.

Li Qianxue looked outside the ward. She thought of how she had chased Su Chenghui away before, but now, she hoped that he would come back soon.

..

On the other side, Su Chenghui went to fetch water and was about to rush towards the ward.

However, when he turned the corner, he accidentally bumped into someone. That person almost bumped into him. In order not to let the hot water bottle fall to the ground, and in order not to get the water on the other person’s body, Su Chenghui took two big steps back. At this moment, that person kept apologizing.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” A clear female voice was accompanied by a very guilty and self-reproaching tone.

Su Chenghui looked at the person in front of him. She appeared to be a young girl in her early twenties. Judging from the way she was dressed..

“I’m sorry, sir. I didn’t step on you just now, did I?”

The young girl had a guilty look on her face. Su Chenghui looked at the young girl, who was about the same age as his daughter, and shook his head. “It’s okay.”

The other party did step on him, but that kind of force didn’t have much of an effect on him.

“I’m really sorry.” The young girl lowered her head and saw the footprint on Su Chenghui’s shoes.

Su Chenghui’s shoes were custom-made in Italy. There was an additional footprint on the shiny upper of his shoes.

“Why don’t you take off your shoes and let me help you wipe them?”

“There’s really no need.” Seeing the panic and guilt in the little girl’s eyes, Su Chenghui didn’t intend to pursue the matter further. He still had to hurry back to the ward to accompany Li Qianxue.

Whether she wanted him to accompany her or not was one thing, whether he wanted to accompany her was another.

“No, no, no, I must help you wipe them.” As the little girl spoke, she directly squatted down, took out a tissue from her bag, and was about to wipe Su Chenghui’s shoes.

Seeing this, Su Chenghui instinctively withdrew his feet. “There’s really no need.”

“Yes, there definitely is.”

The little girl squatted down and took a tissue to wipe Su Chenghui’s shoes. Su Chenghui had been living in luxury all these years. It was true that there were people taking care of him wherever he went, but it was not to the extent of asking a little girl to do such a thing.

However, he still had a hot water bottle in his hand. He could not stop the little girl in front of him even if he wanted to.

He felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have asked Xiao Jiang to fetch the water.

The little girl was wiping very seriously. It wasn’t convenient for Su Chenghui to pull his leg back. People passed by from time to time. When everyone saw this scene, they looked at Su Chenghui with incredulous gazes.

Su Chenghui became more and more uncomfortable. “Okay, that’s enough.”

“Okay.” The little girl stood up and looked at his shoes, which were as clean as before, and breathed a sigh of relief. “I’m really sorry. It was all my fault.”

“It’s okay.” Su Chenghui didn’t want to continue pestering her. He still wanted to go to the ward.

“You’re really a good person.”The little girl stopped him again. She looked at him, and her eyes were shining. “I still have to thank you for being so lenient.”

“It’s really okay.” Su Chenghui’s eyes were already showing impatience.

The little girl stuck out her tongue. “I’m sorry. I seem to have wasted your time. Then, I’ll leave first. Thank you again.”

As she spoke, she stepped back. Su Chenghui looked at her and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.

When she made that funny face just now, at first glance, she actually looked a little like Su Peizhen.

In that split second, the little girl took a step forward. “Uncle, you’re really a good person. I hope I’ll have the chance to see you again next time.”

Su Chenghui didn’t say anything. He looked at the little girl who had a resemblance to Su Peizhen, and stood there without moving.

“Goodbye, Uncle.” The little girl waved her hand and left. The moment she turned around, he felt that her side profile made her look even more similar to Su Peizhen.

Su Chenghui’s hand that was holding the hot water bottle tightened slightly. He thought of his daughter who was serving her sentence in Rong City. He didn’t know how Su Peizhen was doing now.

Speaking of which, in order to get Li Qianxue to accept him, he hadn’t visited Su Peizhen for a long time.

Perhaps the next time he went to visit Su Qingsang, he would also visit Su Peizhen.

..

In the ward, Luo Cheng sat on the bed. Such an overly intimate and friendly attitude made Li Qianxue’s facial expression unpleasant.

“Qianxue.” Luo Cheng suddenly opened his mouth, but he didn’t call politely call her “President Li”. “I know that you’re injured, and I’m really worried about you. I just realized that the attention I pay to you is far from that of a normal friend. Qianxue, can I call you by your name?”

He asked this question after he had already called her “Qianxue”? Li Qianxue didn’t respond to his words. “President Luo, the investment case that you mentioned last time –”

“The investment case isn’t important. What’s important is my love for you.” Luo Cheng raised his hand forward and looked at Li Qianxue. “Qianxue, I don’t care about that investment case. What I care about is you…”

“President Luo, you may have misunderstood.”

“I didn’t misunderstand.” Luo Cheng couldn’t wait to express his feelings. “My feelings for you are from the bottom of my heart. Please believe me.”

When he spoke, he even reached out to hold Li Qianxue’s hand. Li Qianxue didn’t expect him to suddenly move. She already had a cast on one hand. Now that he held her other hand, she felt very uncomfortable.

She tried to pull her hand back, but Luo Cheng held her hand in his palm. “Qianxue, give me a chance to take care of you. I will prove that I am a qualified husband.”

“President Luo…” Li Qianxue didn’t expect this man to be so strong. But her other hand was injured. She couldn’t pull it out even if she wanted to.

Frustrated, she was thinking of using her cast hand to hit Luo Cheng.

Before she could do anything, Luo Cheng’s body was pulled up and pushed to the side.

Li Qianxue looked at Su Chenghui, who suddenly appeared. He stood there and half of his body was in front of her bed. His hands were hanging by his side and they were clenched into fists.

“President Luo.” He looked at Luo Cheng coldly. His eyes were sharp and cold. “You’ve crossed the line.”

Luo Cheng didn’t expect Su Chenghui to suddenly appear. He had asked someone to stall him.

“President Su, isn’t it inappropriate for you to say that?” Luo Cheng looked at Su Chenghui, who was acting as if he was her protector. “Qianxue is divorced from you. She has the right to be with other men, don’t you think so?”

“She does have that right, but she also has the right to refuse.”

Su Chenghui’s expression didn’t change. “From the looks of it, I don’t see Qianxue’s intention to accept you. Or, does President Luo think that having physical contact with others without their consent is a sign of respect for women?”

“I don’t respect women just because I touched her?” Luo Cheng looked a little embarrassed. “I just couldn’t help myself.”

“You said it was because you couldn’t help yourself, but I think it’s better for President Luo to restrain himself next time. After all, Qianxue isn’t one of those casual women who have to cooperate with President Luo’s lost of self-control.”

Luo Cheng’s face turned livid after hearing Su Chenghui’s words. He knew that he had been reckless today.

Now that he lost this opportunity, he could only look for another opportunity.

“President Su, you’re overthinking it. I respect Qianxue very much.” He looked at Li Qianxue, and his expression was much softer than before. “Qianxue, don’t think too much about it. I really didn’t mean anything else just now.”

Li Qianxue didn’t say anything. With her etiquette, she couldn’t put on that ugly of an expression. She could only put on a cold expression.

If Su Chenghui hadn’t come in time, she didn’t doubt that she would have bashed Luo Cheng’s head with the cast.

Now that things had developed to this point, it wasn’t good for Luo Cheng to continue staying. He said a few more words before leaving.

Li Qianxue didn’t relax just because Luo Cheng left. Her expression was very ugly. She hated being touched by someone she didn’t like.

The place where Luo Cheng held her hand made her almost want to chop off that hand.

However, before she could react, Su Chenghui had already entered the bathroom. When he came out again, there was a basin of water in his hand. He picked up the towel inside and walked in front of her. He picked up her hand and wiped it.

Su Chenghui’s movements were not as gentle as they were yesterday. He used a bit of force. He lowered his face. His half-closed eyes were gentle and calm.

Li Qianxue watched his movements. An electric current flowed through her heart. She felt a momentary heartbeat.

She clearly felt that the man in front of her reminded her of the attraction she felt when she first met him more than twenty years ago.

..

Luo Cheng walked out of the hospital gate and was in the parking lot outside. There was a figure waiting there.

When he saw who it was, his expression darkened. “Didn’t I tell you to distract Su Chenghui? Why did you let him go back to the ward so quickly?”

Speaking of which, Luo Cheng was really overthinking things. Even without Su Chenghui, with Li Qianxue’s personality, she wouldn’t let him take advantage of her.

There was no reason to blame him now.

Jing Shu looked at the reproach in Luo Cheng’s eyes and laughed lightly. “Uncle, don’t be anxious. What’s the matter? Take it slow.”

She smiled brightly. If Su Chenghui was here, he would realize that she was the little girl who was bent on cleaning his shoes.

“What do you mean?” Luo Cheng was unhappy after being humiliated by Su Chenghui today.

“Uncle.” Jing Shu was about the same age as Luo Cheng’s daughter, Luo Yue. She had been studying in another city.

She had recently graduated. Her mother and Luo Cheng were considered cousins. She asked her to come to Lin City to look for Luo Cheng and ask him to arrange something for her.

Unexpectedly, after Jing Shu came to Lin City, Luo Cheng unexpectedly found that his niece looked somewhat similar to Su Chenghui’s daughter, Su Peizhen.

This was really a pleasant surprise. If he wanted to pursue Li Qianxue, then Su Chenghui would be a stumbling block.

If Jing Shu could use her appearance to distract Su Chenghui, then he would have more opportunities to get into contact with Li Qianxue.

“I think, instead of thinking of a way to prevent Su Chenghui from getting in your way, you might as well completely solve this problem. What do you think?”

“What do you mean?”

“Uncle.” Jing Shu gestured towards herself. “What do you think of me?”

Not understanding what he was trying to do, Luo Cheng looked at Jing Shu.

Jing Shu wasn’t bad-looking. She looked a little like Su Peizhen, so she was naturally vivacious and pretty. Most importantly, she was young and bubbly.

“Jing Shu, your mother asked you to come to Lin City because she wanted me to take care of you. I never thought…”

Although he had a purpose, he wouldn’t send his niece to Su Chenghui’s side. Even if this niece was from his cousin’s side.

“Uncle, I think you can think about it now.”Jing Shu thought of the gentle and refined look on Su Chenghui’s face when he smiled, and her heart stirred.

“Jing Shu, about your mother…”

“Uncle, you don’t have to worry about my mother. I just want to tell you that I like Su Chenghui.”

“Are you crazy?” Luo Cheng glared at the little girl in front of him. “Do you know how old he is? He can even be your father.”

“So what?”Jing Shu blinked her eyes and was very confident in herself. “I just like him. Can’t I?”

“Jing Shu…”

“Uncle, if I can take down Su Chenghui, won’t that solve your problem?”

Luo Cheng didn’t say anything. This wasn’t part of his plan. He just wanted Su Chenghui to not be able to disturb him.

“Alright, Uncle. Don’t be too old-fashioned. In this society, what kind of love doesn’t exist? Su Chenghui isn’t young, but this kind of man is mature and charming. I like this kind of man. Don’t try to persuade me. Wait until I take down Su Chenghui. It will also be good for you, won’t it?”

Luo Cheng couldn’t refute it. In fact, he was the one who asked Jing Shu to come out and distract Su Chenghui. Speaking of which, if it weren’t for him, Jing Shu wouldn’t have fallen for Su Chenghui.

“Let’s go. Uncle, I need to think about how to take down that old man.”

A look of determination flashed across Jing Shu’s eyes. Luo Cheng wanted to persuade her, but he thought that if Su Chenghui was really taken down by Jing Shu, his success rate in pursuing Li Qianxue would be completely different.

“Alright, I won’t persuade you anymore. But as for your mother, you can tell her yourself when the time comes.”

“Got it.”

“Also, Su Chenghui is already a grandfather. You, you shouldn’t be too serious. If it really doesn’t work out, then forget it.”

“Don’t worry.” Jing Shu raised her hand to take a look. “I’ll definitely take him down.”

Her hands were clenched into fists, and her face was full of confidence.
