Chapter 685 Lin Bei Intentionally

"No, thank you." Jiang Ruan refused decisively, giving them no hope. "I have other things to take care of at the hotel, I'll come back tomorrow."

Lin Bei looked at Huo Zhizhou.

The latter simply stood there looking at Jiang Ruan, his eyes filled with a multitude of emotions, but he didn't say a word.

Knowing there was no hope with the BOSS, he looked at Lin Feng and Jiang Yu: You two, say something!

Jiang Yu glanced at him but didn't say anything.

Lin Feng: "?"

What's my brother doing, making faces over there?

"I'll leave Sui Sui to you." Jiang Ruan didn't plan to stay here any longer. After such a long flight and a meal, she was inevitably quite tired. "Just contact me if you need anything."

"Won't you stay a little longer?" Huo Zhizhou asked softly.

His eyes shone with a variety of emotions, and deep within them lay his reluctance to part with her.

Because of his past actions, he didn't dare to ask her to stay. Forcing her to stay after she had already expressed her feelings would be disrespectful.

Jiang Ruan was about to speak.

Lin Bei spoke first: "Sit a little longer, I'll take you to see the young master's room."

Jiang Ruan glanced at Sui Sui and finally agreed.

Not long after.

Lin Bei led Jiang Ruan upstairs.

Huo Zhizhou knew what Lin Bei was thinking. Logically, he should have stopped him, but a greedy thought arose in his heart. He selfishly hoped that Jiang Ruan could stay a little longer.

He was able to restrain himself even before they met.

Upon seeing her, his intense longing made him want to stay with her.

"Young Master's room is on the third floor, very close to the BOSS." Lin Bei said as he walked upstairs, and led Jiang Ruan over at the corner, "This way, please."

Jiang Ruan followed.

Just as she was wondering why she didn't just take the elevator, she saw signs on the doors of the rooms ahead that read "Medical Room," "Observation Room," and "Examination Room." As she passed by these places, she subconsciously glanced inside.

Inside, there was a full range of medical equipment.

She stopped at the door of the observation room and looked at Lin Bei beside her: "Is Huo Zhizhou staying on the first floor of the medical room?"

"Of course not, the BOSS is on the third floor, and the medical room is on the fourth floor..." Lin Bei said, then looked to the side with a look of annoyance, "I'm sorry, Miss Jiang, I accidentally led you one floor too far."

"I was so happy to see you after so long that we forgot to count the floors while we were chatting."

Jiang Ruan didn't expose him.

She knew he did it on purpose.

The fact that the elevator went directly to the top of the stairs was clearly intentional, meant to let her see all of this.

"I'll take you downstairs right away," Lin Bei said. "I'm so sorry."

"It's nothing." Jiang Ruan remained calm and composed. "Let's go."

Logically, Lin Bei should be relieved that Jiang Ruan wasn't angry, but his heart involuntarily clenched.

He knew very well that Miss Jiang seemed to have no feelings for the BOSS anymore; otherwise, she wouldn't have remained so calm after seeing all this, nor would she have remained unperturbed by his deliberate actions.

"Miss Jiang." He wanted to open up and talk to her.

Jiang Ruan glanced sideways and said, "Mm."

Lin Bei, still holding Sui Sui's suitcase, asked, "Do you still like the BOSS?"

Jiang Ruan: "Why do you ask that?"

Lin Bei lowered his eyes: "Although the BOSS repeatedly emphasized that we were not allowed to tell you about his situation, Huo Sinian has already told you, so I have no reason to keep it from you any longer."

Jiang Ruan's complexion remained as pale as ever.

“What Huo Sinian told you was all one-sided,” Lin Bei said. “The BOSS really does eat and throw up every time. He wants to see you but is afraid of hurting you, so he forces himself not to contact you.”

As Jiang Ruan thought about what she knew before, a few emotions welled up in her heart.

"If you hadn't called, he would be lying unconscious in a hospital bed right now," Lin Bei said.

"He'll adjust." Jiang Ruan's words were unclear, whether she was trying to comfort Lin Bei or herself.

Lin Bei: "He can't adjust."

Jiang Ruan glanced sideways.

Lin Bei said, "As long as you cut off contact with him, he will quickly become the same as before. He looks strong and invincible, but he is actually extremely fragile."

Jiang Ruan remained silent.

“The food he couldn’t eat before wasn’t intentional; it was just a physiological inability to eat,” Lin Beiquan said. “But after you made that phone call by chance, he ate and didn’t vomit.”

“But after that day he couldn’t eat again, and it wasn’t until later, when you found out the matter had come back, that he felt a little better.”

“Sui Sui’s room is over there,” Jiang Ruan changed the subject.

Lin Bei paused, instinctively turning his gaze to her.

Seemingly surprised that after he said so much, Miss Jiang showed no emotion whatsoever.

Is there really no hope for the boss?

"I'll take you there right away." He calmed himself down, completely forgetting his bet with Mo Mo, and only wanted to help his boss in some way. "I'm sorry for talking to you for so long."

Jiang Ruan's tone was extremely calm: "It's nothing."

Lin Bei felt somewhat depressed.

He led her down the corridor toward Sui Sui's room.

As he passed one of the rooms, he introduced it, saying, "This is the BOSS's room, and the young master's room is right next to it."

Jiang Ruan subconsciously glanced to the side.

The room was deathly dark and completely devoid of light.

Perhaps because she was upset by what she had just heard, she asked Lin Bei, "He doesn't usually keep the curtains open in his room?"

Lin Bei: "The BOSS thinks it's too bright."

“When he’s not resting, the room isn’t so oppressive when the curtains are open. Putting different kinds of fresh flowers in his room every day can add life and help regulate his mood,” Jiang Ruan said without thinking. “Of course, this is just my personal opinion.”

Staying in a lifeless, dark room for too long can easily lower your mood.

Especially Huo Zhizhou's current state.

Lin Bei's eyes lit up.

This shows concern for the boss.

“Okay, I’ll put some flowers in for him later.” Lin Bei quickly replied, “I’m not very familiar with the types of flowers the BOSS likes, could you give me a list?”

Jiang Ruan: "I'll send it to you later."

Lin Bei: "Okay, thank you."

During their conversation, Lin Bei led Jiang Ruan to Sui Sui's room.

Seeing that the layout was similar to Sui Sui's previous room, Jiang Ruan knew that ever since Huo Zhizhou moved in, he had reserved a room for Sui Sui, even if he would never come to stay there.

"Is there anything else you need?" Lin Bei asked.

"It's fine." Jiang Ruan was telling the truth.

Huo Zhizhou is indeed very good to Sui Sui.

Everything inside, from daily necessities to clothing, was fully prepared.

"So, are you going to stay here?" Lin Bei asked tentatively. "The BOSS has also prepared a room for you, with a layout similar to Soft Garden, and all kinds of things are provided."

Jiang Ruan paused for a moment.

Lin Bei suggested, "Why don't you go take a look? If you're not satisfied, you can stay at a hotel."

"No, thank you." Jiang Ruan did not hesitate on this matter. "I'll leave Sui Sui to you. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

Knowing there was no hope, Lin Bei didn't linger: "I'll see you out."

Jiang Ruan did not refuse.

We arrived downstairs.

Jiang Ruan then bid farewell to Huo Zhizhou.

Seeing that the person was determined to leave, Huo Zhizhou simply asked, "What time are you coming tomorrow? I'll have Lin Bei pick you up."
