CHAPTER 288: CHAPTER 288: FORCE-FED DOG FOOD!!

"Okay."

The two of them went together to Ning Xiuji’s ward. The little guy’s eyes lit up when he saw Qiao Qiqi. He couldn’t move yet and was just lying on the bed, looking so soft and cute that it melted people’s hearts.

Ning’s mother saw Qiao Qiqi and her eyes were bright. She took Qiao’s hand and talked for a while.

The little guy needed rest, so after sitting for a while, Qiao Qiqi was ready to leave. Ning’s mother immediately asked Ning Xiuyuan to escort her.

On their way back, Qiao Qiqi saw Yuan Zichen. Her eyebrows lightly furrowed. What was he doing at the hospital so late?

"I ran into someone I know. You go ahead; I have something to do," Qiao Qiqi said and then quickly walked away.

"See you at school tomorrow then." Ning Xiuyuan wanted to follow her but was afraid of annoying her, so he reluctantly stopped.

Qiao Qiqi followed Yuan Zichen to a ward and saw him knock on the door before entering. Seeing this, she entered the next room.

She could hear the sounds from the next room. Although not very clear, she could roughly guess what was happening. Yuan Zichen was still too young, having been trapped once already, yet again he fell into a trap.

In the next room.

Yuan Zichen looked grimly at his manager, while on the bed lay Yuan Tianshen, hands and feet in casts.

"Didn’t you say you were sick? What’s going on now?" Yuan Zichen coldly questioned.

"Zichen, as long as you listen to President Yuan, you’ll surely be very successful in the future. You’re a boy, so it’s no big deal. Why be so stubborn?" The manager advised Yuan Zichen.

"You... that’s just shameless!" Yuan Zichen was furious, his face flushed red.

Moreover, this Yuan really is disgusting, even with broken limbs, still not letting him go!

"You think you can leave once you’re in here?" Yuan Tianshen, half-leaning on the hospital bed, looked smilingly at the boy not far away.

Yuan Zichen’s expression changed, disgusted, he turned to leave, but a few bodyguards came in and pushed him back. Yuan Zichen resisted, two held him while another held a handkerchief over his nose and mouth.

Yuan Zichen felt hopeless. Before losing consciousness, he thought of that cold and beautiful face, knowing today was his downfall.

Even the manager felt a bit sorry, Yuan Zichen was the best among this batch of trainees, but he dared not offend Yuan Tianshen; his livelihood depended on him.

Just as the bodyguards were taking off Yuan Zichen’s clothes, the lights in the room suddenly went out.

The bodyguards hurriedly stood to see what was going on when a sharp pain hit them from above, and they lost consciousness!

"Who?" Yuan Tianshen’s voice changed in fear upon hearing the noise.

Qiao Qiqi dealt with several bodyguards swiftly, rushing to the bed, grabbing a bedside lamp and smashing it on the old man’s head mercilessly, leaving his face covered in blood!

Yuan Zichen vaguely saw Qiao Qiqi, feeling like he was dreaming. How could she possibly be here?

"Call the police!"

He vaguely heard the girl say these two words.

When Yuan Zichen finally woke up, he felt weak all over. Looking at the people collapsed around him, he immediately took out his phone to call the police.

While waiting for the police, he leaned there continuously wondering whether he was dreaming. If it was a dream, who saved him again? If not, why wouldn’t she show herself?

Shen Ji quickly arrived with others. He had Yuan Zichen lifted up, someone specially questioning him about the incident. He was still weak, but speaking was no problem. He explained everything, unknown to him how people in the room had fainted, also withholding the part about hearing someone tell him to call the police.

"Handle the scene well, I’m stepping out for a bit." Shen Ji quickly left the ward after speaking.

Reaching the hospital entrance, he saw Qiao Qiqi get into a black car. She waved at him as the car door shut and swiftly drove away.

Shen Ji stood at the entrance, frowning as he watched the car disappear. His guess was right; that Yuan was indeed beaten by her, and today she saved that little celebrity again.

But why exactly was she deliberately provoking him?

Today, it was Gu Cheng driving, with Gu Shili and Qiao Qiqi in the back. She blinked at him, "Why are you back again?"

"You haven’t eaten yet. Can’t let you go hungry." Gu Shili said, setting up a small table in front, placing dishes he made, and handing her a pair of chopsticks.

"Did you go home to cook and then hurry back?" Qiao Qiqi was a bit surprised.

"No, couldn’t make it if I did that. I borrowed a hotel’s kitchen to cook." Gu Shili hadn’t gone far earlier, he left first intending to give her some space but worried she might go hungry, he found a place to make the meal.

Qiao Qiqi admitted she was touched by Gu Shili. The feeling of being cherished softened her cold demeanor, staring unblinkingly at the handsome young man beside her.

"Try how it tastes, it’ll get cold soon if you don’t." Gu Shili’s lips slightly curved, evidently enjoying being gazed at by her.

"Oh." Qiao Qiqi came back to her senses, taking the rice and eating the side dishes.

Gu Shili’s cooking was undeniably top-notch, no idea how those artist-like hands could make such high-quality dishes!

"You should eat too, surely you haven’t eaten yet." Qiao Qiqi was sure Gu Shili wouldn’t leave her to eat alone.

"Okay." Gu Shili picked up chopsticks and ate with her. To him, eating with her was an incredibly happy thing.

The meal portions were smaller than usual, but there was more variety, so ultimately both ate everything. They ate happily, unlike Gu Cheng, who was driving in front, suffering from being scolded by his boss, fined half a month’s salary, and now forced to endure this romantic showcase while starving!
