CHAPTER 222: CHAPTER 222: THE ART OF FLIRTING

Qin Muni lifted her wrist to check the time on her watch; it was just about closing time. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and agreed, "Yes, I understand."

"Miss Qin, I appreciate your help."

"It’s nothing."

Tang Haoliang hung up the phone, the tension was gone from his face, replaced only by the sly look of someone whose cunning plan had succeeded.

"Tsk tsk, we’ve really worried ourselves to exhaustion helping the chairman win back his wife," he glanced appreciatively at Wang Ruoran, who was smiling just as mischievously beside him.

Wang Ruoran nodded in agreement, "Being a secretary these days isn’t easy. Not only do you have to handle company affairs, but you also have to help your boss pursue a wife. If you don’t know a few moves to flirt, you’d be embarrassed to call yourself a secretary."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Muni quickly returned to the office to grab her bag and hurriedly left the restaurant, even forgetting to inform manager Zhong Luoyi that she’d be leaving for a while.

She drove all the way to Fanluo Residence, making two phone calls to Xu Yisen in between, but neither call was answered.

As soon as the car was settled in the underground parking lot at Fanluo Residence, she anxiously opened the car door and hurriedly walked towards the elevator.

When the elevator reached the seventeenth floor, she quickly went to Xu Yisen’s door and rang the doorbell.

However, two minutes passed without any movement from inside, and no one came to open the door for her.

Qin Muni suddenly remembered that the first time she came to Xu Yisen’s home, he had texted her that the door code was their old family password.

After hesitating for a moment, she reached out and entered the date of their wedding anniversary into the password lock.

The password lock emitted a beeping sound, reminding her that the door had been unlocked.

Qin Muni turned the doorknob, opened the door, and walked into the house. After changing her shoes at the entrance, she hurried to Xu Yisen’s room.

His room door was tightly shut; Qin Muni knocked gently on the door but didn’t receive any response.

She reached out to open the door and went inside. Her eyes caught sight of Xu Yisen’s pale face lying weakly on the bed.

A quick flash of shock swept across her face, followed by a layer of concern that appeared on her slightly made-up face.

She approached the bed and softly called out, "Yisen."

Lying in bed, Xu Yisen heard her call, his long eyelashes fluttered slightly like butterfly wings, and he struggled to open his heavy eyelids.

When he met Qin Muni’s worried gaze, he slowly asked, "Munni, why are you here?"

His voice was very hoarse, and his tone so low it was almost inaudible.

As he spoke, Qin Muni reached out and placed her hand on his forehead, the scorching temperature beneath her palm causing her attractive eyebrows to furrow tightly.

"How did it get so bad?" She withdrew her hand, and just as she was about to turn to get the medicine box, she realized this was Xu Yisen’s home, and she didn’t know where he kept the medicine box.

"Where’s the medicine box?"

"Kitchen."

Qin Muni nodded, and just as she stepped forward, she turned back to stare at Xu Yisen, whose face was as pale as a sheet, "Have you eaten?"

Xu Yisen was about to speak when his throat suddenly tickled, and he couldn’t help but cough.

After a moment, Xu Yisen managed to stop coughing but was too weak to speak. He could only shake his head helplessly.

"Just lie down while I get you a cup of hot water."

Having known Xu Yisen for so many years, Qin Muni is well aware of his physical condition. He rarely falls ill with his robust health, but when he does, it truly makes one nervous.
