Normally, she wouldn’t actually see Bai Jinghong.
Because Bai Jinghong rarely went to the company these days.
But coincidentally, today Bai Jinghong came to the company, planning to check on Qin Chuchu.
And to give instructions regarding the next steps against the Dragon Morning Group.
When Bai Jinghong appeared outside the corporation building, Yun Mengxi saw him.
He was still incredibly handsome, exuding a wild, unrestrained aura.
Behind him followed several men.
Because of the distance, Bai Jinghong didn’t see her.
Yet Yun Mengxi couldn’t help but step forward a little, watching from afar.
She desperately, desperately wanted to go closer and see Bai Jinghong up close.
But she still lacked the courage.
Her heart was also in intense turmoil.
As for Bai Jinghong, he felt someone staring at him, so he swept a glance around the area.
And with that single glance, he suddenly spotted Yun Mengxi standing across the street.
His heart immediately jolted.
This was one of the rare emotional fluctuations Bai Jinghong experienced.
Bai Jinghong gritted his teeth but felt he still needed to go over.
And so, Bai Jinghong walked directly towards Yun Mengxi.
Ah Kun and the others waited where they were, not following. They knew about the situation well enough not to interfere.
Seeing Bai Jinghong actually approaching, Yun Mengxi’s heart pounded wildly.
Her whole body trembled slightly.
She suddenly felt that all her internal struggles had vanished like smoke.
She just stood there, rooted to the spot, waiting for him to come.
If Bai Jinghong came over and hugged her, she wouldn’t resist. Even if he wanted to kiss her, she wouldn’t refuse.
Because she truly had no strength left.
The closer he got, the more uncomfortable Bai Jinghong felt inside.
He saw how terrible Yun Mengxi’s complexion was.
The woman who was usually so confident and beautiful now showed a haggardness impossible to hide.
Even her sensually red lips had become somewhat dry, her eyes filled with nothing but pain.
All of this, caused by him!
Bai Jinghong always acted according to his true nature.
If the woman before him made him feel displeased, even if she collapsed on the ground, Bai Jinghong would simply walk past her.
For example, Wen Chunyu. After he forced himself on her, he had just dumped her in the restroom without a shred of pity.
Simply because Bai Jinghong didn’t like her standing up for Ye Chen.
But for Yun Mengxi, he truly couldn’t bring himself to be that heartless.
He came close and looked at Yun Mengxi, an inexplicable ache in his heart.
“Not eating properly, are you?”
Bai Jinghong’s voice was very calm.
Yun Mengxi just looked at him, her eyes gradually reddening.
Just then, Bai Jinghong’s phone rang.
He pulled it out to look, turned his back, and answered the call.
“Chuchu, I’m at the company, but something came up temporarily.”
“…”
“Alright, be good and wait for me. I’ll come up soon.”
Yun Mengxi saw and heard this, and her heart couldn’t help but tremble.
She thought Bai Jinghong had received a call from another woman and was about to leave.
Her heart was instantly thrown into chaos. Her nose stung with acidity, and tears blurred her vision.
It felt like a huge stone was lodged in her chest, suffocating and painful, making it hard to breathe.
Then, her vision went black, and she fainted.
Bai Jinghong had just turned around when he saw her about to collapse. He rushed forward and caught her in his arms, urgently shouting, “Mengxi!”
He quickly checked on Yun Mengxi. It was purely exhaustion, severe malnutrition.
Combined with some emotional shock and excessive grief.
Bai Jinghong gritted his teeth and carried Yun Mengxi towards his car.
Crossing the street, a car speeding by nearly hit Bai Jinghong.
The driver stuck his head out and cursed loudly, “Are you fucking blind?! I’ll run over you, you son of a bitch!”
“Fuck!” Bai Jinghong was already furious. He directly kicked the front of the car.
Due to the immense force, the car slid back two meters, crashing into the vehicle behind it.
Not only that, but the engine area seemed to blow out, as thick smoke billowed out.
“You motherfucker! Don’t you run!”
That driver was also seething with anger.
But just as he was about to get out of the car, he saw several burly men in black charging towards him.
The driver was so frightened that he quickly tried to close his car door.
But to his horror, one of the big men directly ripped his car door off.
Then they dragged him out of the car and onto the side of the road.
Bai Jinghong had absolutely no mind for such trivial bullshit. After carrying Yun Mengxi into the car, he told the driver to head to the hospital.
Yun Mengxi’s condition was malnutrition combined with overexertion.
While not a major problem, it couldn’t be ignored.
Although his medical skills were brilliant, internal depletion required careful nursing.
Treatment was roughly about controlling Yun Mengxi’s emotions, getting her to eat on time, and giving her an IV drip. That should be enough.
Bai Jinghong grabbed a bottle of water, wanting to give some to Yun Mengxi first.
But Yun Mengxi was completely unconscious.
Helpless, Bai Jinghong could only pour water into his own mouth and then feed it to Yun Mengxi mouth-to-mouth.
Bai Jinghong held her in his arms, looking at her haggard face, and couldn’t help but sigh.
“System, get me something to boost physical health.”
Bai Jinghong thought the system should have plenty of good treasures available.
There had to be something useful for this moment.
[Ding! Exchanging for Host: Body Fortifying Agent. No Side Effects!]
After getting it, Bai Jinghong was about to administer it to Yun Mengxi but froze when he glanced at the System Panel.
It wasn’t because of anything else, but the “Women” column now showed a very blurry addition.
Yun Mengxi was there, but this extra name made Bai Jinghong very speechless.
Because that name was: Wen Chunyu.
“???”
Bai Jinghong was filled with confusion. Damn it, hadn’t he forced her? How could she be listed as one of his women?
Could it be that she also… has Stockholm Syndrome?!
What the actual fuck!
But since it was still quite blurry right now, she should still be in a state of internal struggle and torment.
It could disappear at any moment.
Bai Jinghong couldn’t be bothered anymore. He fed the body-fortifying agent to Yun Mengxi.
After arriving at the Bai family’s hospital, Bai Jinghong arranged for her to receive IV treatment.
He himself sat by the hospital bed, waiting for Yun Mengxi to wake up.
After waiting a while, Bai Jinghong suddenly remembered Qin Chuchu. He walked outside the ward to call Qin Chuchu and explain the situation.
Some things happen by sheer coincidence.
The moment Bai Jinghong walked out, Yun Mengxi woke up.
Seeing the empty room around her, her heart clenched with pain again.
She was very sensitive right now, and equally fragile.
She thought Bai Jinghong had simply ordered someone to bring her here and then left, abandoning her without a care.
Did Bai Jinghong truly not care about her at all?
On second thought, she had no defined relationship with Bai Jinghong. Why would he care about her?
She couldn’t help but pity herself. Her heart was filled with grievance and bitterness, and her tears flowed even more uncontrollably.
After finishing his call, Bai Jinghong re-entered the ward.
His footsteps were very light. Yun Mengxi didn’t notice.
“Why are you crying again?”
Seeing this, Bai Jinghong quickly walked over and raised his hand to wipe her tears.
Suddenly seeing Bai Jinghong appear before her, Yun Mengxi was stunned.
Her heart was a mix of emotions. Her small mouth pouted slightly, looking extremely aggrieved.
Left with no other choice, Bai Jinghong could only lie down on the hospital bed with her and hold her.
Feeling Bai Jinghong’s warmth again, Yun Mengxi finally understood clearly that she didn’t care about the things Bai Jinghong had schemed.
At the very least, his feelings for her weren’t just playing around.
“Sigh…” Bai Jinghong sighed and asked, “That matter… do you still resent it?”
“If you don’t want to see me, just say so. I’ll leave right away.”
Shrinking into Bai Jinghong’s embrace, Yun Mengxi quickly reached out and grabbed his clothes, as if afraid he would leave.
And she didn’t speak—just shook her head.
“This time was my fault. There won’t be a next time.” Bai Jinghong felt a weight lift from his heart.
Some things need to be said clearly. Now that it was out in the open, he too felt much lighter.
Yun Mengxi looked at Bai Jinghong, her hand gripping even tighter, her voice choked with emotion.
“You don’t have to hold on so tight. I’m not leaving. Be good and sleep for a while. I’ve had someone bring food over.”
Seeing her so tense and refusing to rest wasn’t good for her.
Bai Jinghong lowered his head and very gently kissed her on the lips.
Only then did Yun Mengxi gradually relax.
