Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 348 Did President Lou really break up?

When Assistant Gao returned to the ward after completing the registration and payment, Lou Qi was lying face down on the hospital bed with intricate marks on his back. It was unclear whether he had been hit with a stick or a whip; the marks were red, swollen, and bruised, and some parts had broken open and bled.

I don't know how he endured such gruesome blood and flesh at home for so long, and refused to come to the hospital.

"You should have come sooner. Your recurring high fever is likely caused by an infection in the wound on your back," the doctor said.

Lou Qi remained silent.

He knew very well that his fever had little to do with the injury on his back.

It was Jiang Xing who provoked him.

"Miss Jiang's words still work," Gao Zhu couldn't help but sigh.

Just an hour ago, Mr. Lou was stubbornly refusing to come to the hospital like a bull, but after learning that Miss Wen had asked him to come, he obediently went to see a doctor!

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a cold and sharp gaze.

Lou Qi glanced at him coldly. Two seconds later, he withdrew his gaze expressionlessly and closed his eyes to rest.

For the past dozen or so hours, Gao Zhu had been worried about Lou Qi's health and his own future, and now he finally realized something was wrong—

Normally, when he jokes about Lou Zong and Miss Jiang, as long as it's about how loving the two are, Lou Zong is secretly pleased. Why does it seem like he wants to fire him today?

Gao silently took out his phone, opened WeChat, and sent Jiang Xing a message: "President Lou has arrived at the hospital, please don't worry."

Two minutes passed, and Jiang Xing did not reply.

Assistant Gao sent another message: 【When are you coming to the hospital? Should I prepare lunch for you?】

It's 11 a.m. now, almost lunchtime.

Jiang Xing finally replied: 【I broke up with him.】

High-pupil earthquake: ? ? ?

The sudden tremor in his pupils was noticed by the patient in the hospital bed, and Lou Qi asked, "Who are you texting?"

His eyes were sharp, showing no sign of illness, as if Gao Zhu would be fired on the spot if he told another lie.

“…Miss Jiang.” Assistant Gao dared not lie.

"Oh?" Lou Qi asked with a rising tone at the end of his voice, "What did she say to you?"

But for some reason, it made Gao Zhu feel dangerous, and his whole body trembled.

“I asked her if she was coming to the hospital and if I needed to prepare lunch for her, and she said—” Gao Zhu dared not lie, “No need.”

Lou Qi lowered his eyes, and the oppressive aura around him dissipated slightly.

It seems that out of consideration for his feelings, she didn't tell his subordinates about the breakup.

Gao Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, outwardly calm, but inwardly a multitude of thoughts raced through his mind: What the hell do I know? Why didn't President Lou say they broke up? Did they really break up? Do I know the secret behind President Lou being dumped? Should I quit my job first? Are my savings enough to pay the mortgage?

"Is there anything else?" Lou Qi asked Gao Zhu, who was standing dumbfounded by the bedside.

"No, no!" Gao Zhu snapped back to reality. "I'll go prepare lunch for you!"

Holy crap, holy crap, he really got dumped! Otherwise, Mr. Lou wouldn't have such a bad temper!

in the afternoon.

The secretary-general came to the hospital with several urgent documents and asked Lou Qi to sign them.

As they were leaving, they noticed that Takasuke looked like he wanted to say something but couldn't, and asked curiously, "Takasuke, why do you look like you've eaten shit?"

Gao Zhusheng said dejectedly, "I'd rather I'd eaten shit."

There's a shocking secret about the boss that only he knows. However, he has to suppress his gossipy nature and not tell his colleagues, enduring immense pressure to pretend he's a complete idiot.

It's really tough on working people!

"Why haven't I seen Miss Jiang?" the secretary-general asked again.

Assistant Gao kindly advised, "You'd better not ask that question in front of President Lou."

The secretary-general blinked, then instantly understood: "..."
