CIATB Chapter 153 His absent-minded and menacing appearance clearly indicates he's after Qiqi.
Chapter 153 His absent-minded and menacing appearance clearly indicates he's after Qiqi.
He held a cigarette between his fingers, the flame flickering under the lamplight.
He tilted his head slightly, his gaze fixed on the ceiling in the distance, the profile of his face appearing particularly sharp and handsome in the light and shadow of the corridor lamp.
His jawline was taut, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and smoke swirled around him, blurring the emotions in his eyes but adding to his deadly aura of hormones.
He waited there quietly, like a painting full of tension, attracting the attention of the waiters passing by in the corridor who couldn't help but steal glances at him.
Seeing her come out, Lu Chenyuan stubbed out his cigarette and casually tossed the butt into the nearby trash can, his movements swift and decisive.
He looked up at her, the languor and sharpness in his eyes vanishing instantly, replaced by tender affection.
Then, naturally, he took her hand, interlacing his fingertips with hers, and held it tightly.
"Let's go back."
"what?"
Su Wan was slightly taken aback and subconsciously asked a question in return.
"Didn't you eat? Go home if you're full."
He spoke of it casually.
But Su Wan was filled with doubts.
He hasn't eaten yet, has he? She's full, but he's not.
But Lu Chenyuan didn't allow her to think any further.
He took her hand and led her straight to the bar, paid the bill with practiced ease, and then, without saying a word, led her out of the restaurant and into the car.
Night had completely fallen, and Seoul's night lights were just coming on, with neon lights flashing.
Su Wan sat in the passenger seat, her palms sweating with nervousness, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her skirt.
She didn't understand what he was trying to do.
Come back home?
Did he walk her to her apartment building and then leave?
Or……
Judging from his expression, he clearly had no intention of leaving.
Could it be that he wants to go upstairs with her again and do those things that made her feel embarrassed and scared last night?
Thinking of what happened last night, Su Wan's heart raced instantly, and she became so nervous that her breathing became erratic.
When she was scared, her gaze would uncontrollably drift to places she shouldn't be looking at.
Sure enough, there was a response.
He had already set his sights on her when he was holding her and feeding her steak.
...Twenty words omitted here...
Su Wan's cheeks instantly turned bright red. She felt both ashamed and flustered. She opened her mouth, wanting to make up an excuse to get rid of him.
Just as the car was about to pull up to the apartment building, and she was about to speak, her phone suddenly rang.
The words "Xiaoxiao" were displayed on the screen.
Su Wan's heart tightened, and she quickly pressed the answer button.
Xiaoxiao rarely contacts her first; whenever she does, it's always because something extremely important has happened.
"Wanwan, where are you?"
Xiaoxiao's voice trembled so badly it almost cracked, her anxious tone piercing through the receiver.
"Come quick! Qiqi's in trouble! She's having her stomach pumped at the city hospital!"
"what?"
Su Wan was jolted awake, her heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by a hand. Her phone slipped onto her lap with a thud, and she hurriedly picked it up, her voice filled with lingering fear.
"Gastric lavage? Why would she need gastric lavage?"
"Stop asking so many questions, just come on over! You'll see when you get here!"
Xiaoxiao's voice was trembling with tears.
"Her family found her in the middle of the night last night. She had been drinking and had taken sleeping pills. Her condition has stabilized now, but she's still very weak. Her parents are afraid she might do something foolish again, so they urgently asked us to come and talk to her!"
"Okay, I'll be right there!"
Su Wan hung up the phone, gripping Lu Chenyuan's arm so tightly that her fingertips turned white.
The panic in her eyes completely overwhelmed any embarrassment.
"Lu Chenyuan, my friend is in trouble! Quick! Get him to the Municipal People's Hospital immediately, the sooner the better!"
Qiqi was her best friend of many years. Through Lin Weiwei's introduction, the three of them were very close. Now that she heard that Qiqi was in trouble, Su Wan had no mind to think about Lu Chenyuan's thoughts. Her heart was entirely on Qiqi.
The first person that flashed through my mind was Chen Ye.
That boyfriend who is two years younger than Qiqi and whom she broke up with two months ago.
Qiqi loved him wholeheartedly, but the two always argued because of their incompatible personalities and Chen Ye's lack of companionship.
When they broke up, Qiqi cried her heart out and it took her a month to recover. How could things have suddenly come to this?
Seeing her pale face and anxious eyes, Lu Chenyuan's surging desire vanished instantly.
He gently ruffled her hair with his fingertips, his tone completely calm.
"Hold on tight."
Before he finished speaking, the car suddenly turned around.
The tires screeched as they sped along the pavement toward the city's People's Hospital.
In just twenty minutes, the car came to a smooth stop at the entrance of the emergency department.
Lu Chenyuan unbuckled his seatbelt and wanted to get out of the car to accompany her, but Su Wan reached out and pressed him down, her tone urgent and firm.
"Wait here for me, don't go in. In her current state, Kiki would never want strangers to see her vulnerability."
Lu Chenyuan paused on the doorknob, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes, but he still nodded.
He watched as Su Wan pushed open the car door and rushed into the emergency building, her slender figure revealing her panic.
A wave of tenderness washed over me.
His Wanwan, who seems carefree and thoughtless, is actually so thoughtful and knows how to consider the feelings of others.
She made him even more infatuated, and he could never let her go in this lifetime.
Su Wan practically sprinted to the elevator entrance of the emergency department, her fingertips just about to touch the elevator button.
Another strong hand pressed down on her first, with distinct knuckles, the movement rough and hurried.
She turned around abruptly and froze instantly.
The man in front of me was tall and straight, with a sharp buzz cut and stubble standing upright, exuding a wild and unapproachable aura.
His face still retained a youthful innocence, but he appeared more rugged than when they had a late-night snack together two months ago.
Sharp brow bones and slightly upturned eyes.
His eyes were a deep color, and at this moment they were filled with undisguised anxiety.
Even his jawline was taut, and his masseter muscles twitched slightly, exuding a roguish and wild vibe.
The black short-sleeved shirt clung tightly to her body, outlining her smooth shoulder line and firm waist.
Dark blue jeans hugged her slender, shapely legs, with a small patch of fair skin peeking out from her ankles.
On his feet were a pair of slightly dusty Doc Martens.
He was like a ferocious beast ready to pounce, exuding a fierce and deadly aura.
It's Chen Ye.
"Chen Ye?"
Su Wan instinctively cried out.
"Sister Wan."
He gave a curt reply, his voice hoarse, not even sparing her a glance, his eyes fixed on the elevator door.
His fingers unconsciously dug into the seam of his pants, his knuckles turning white, and he looked like an enraged, trapped beast, restless and anxious.
The low pressure around you almost swallows you up.
He pressed the elevator button hard and quickly, and the button was slightly shiny from his pressing.
Su Wan's heart sank upon seeing this.
His distracted and menacing demeanor clearly indicated that he was also after Qiqi.
This matter is definitely related to him.
She stepped into the elevator and was about to press the number three.
Chen Ye raised his hand first, slamming his fingertips heavily on the button with a dull thud, his movements filled with barely suppressed urgency.
The hospital elevator was painfully slow, and in the cramped space, only the heavy breathing of the two people could be heard.
Chen Ye had his back to her, his broad back taut and straight, his shoulders trembling slightly uncontrollably, his fingers clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned blue. The suppressed anxiety he exuded almost filled the entire elevator, making it hard for Su Wan to breathe.
Finally, the elevator opened with a ding, and Chen Ye rushed out almost instantly, his steps as fast as the wind. His Martin boots made a rapid sound on the ground, and the wind he generated made Su Wan's cheeks sting.
