Chapter 36: One Wrong Move, Lost Everything
The hall was in an uproar. The nurse scolded Qin Muxuan with her eyebrows knitted,
“Haven’t you heard us telling you to get out of the way? What if the treatment of this patient is delayed because of you?”
Qin Muxuan fell onto the ground. Her knees where aching and her face was deadly pale. As the nurse was about to go on screaming at her, a tall figure in a white gown walked over. This man with a gentle look said tenderly,
“You should bring the patient to the doctor. Leave everything here to me.”
“But, Doctor Yin…”
While the young nurse was staring at Yin Youting, she couldn’t help blushing. Then she lowered her head and pushed the patient away in a hurry. Qin Muxuan who was having a terrible headache now didn’t hear the nurse calling the man ‘Doctor Yin’ at all. As she saw a long and clean hand reaching out to her, she put her hand on it right away. However, after she had seen clearly the man’s face and looked right into those charming eyes, her heart trembled fiercely!
Yin Youting never realized that it would be Qin Muxuan. When he saw something happening here, he felt that the woman on the ground seemed a bit familiar to him, so he chimed in. It never occurred to him that…
“Xuan, where have you been for all these years? I was having such a hard time trying to find you…”
Before he could finish his words, a cold voice interrupted him,
“What are you doing!”
The voice sounded as cold as usual. Qin Muxuan pulled out her hand from Yin Youting’s in no time as if she got an electric shock. The next second, Gu Zijin dragged Qin Muxuan over angrily and said in a sullen voice,
“Qin Muxuan, you are getting bolder and bolder now. How dare you meet one after another man behind my back! Huh?!”
Hearing him uttering those sarcastic words regardless of her feelings, Qin Muxuan didn’t even have the strength to retort him. She even started to sneer at herself inwardly, ‘Gu Zijin, you are just like your grandmother. That’s how all the people in your family think of me. You all have a prejudice against me from the beginning. I’m just a nobody whom you can bully as you like!’
Seeing that, Yin Youting, as good-tempered as he was, also flew into a rage,
“Sir, may I ask what is the relationship between you and Xuan? Haven’t you seen that Xuan isn’t feeling well now?”
“You call her Xuan? Maybe you should tell me the relationship between the two of you first!”
Gu Zijin had no intention to make any concession, especially when he heard that intimate address term. The cold look in his eyes now turned gloomy. Qin Muxuan wanted to say something, but she was already too dizzy to do that. After that, she let go of Gu Zijin’s clothes and fainted feebly. Gu Zijin held her in his arms right away. Yin Youting, with a worried look in his eyes, said bluntly,
“Sir, I am a doctor. Shouldn’t you leave the patient to me?”
Gu Zijin, having swallowed hard, lowered his head and saw the pale face of Qin Muxuan. Then he agreed with Yin Youting and said in a grim tone,
“If anything happens to her, I won’t let you get away with it!”
Hearing that, Yin Youting paused and chuckled. Then he called a nurse over to help him transfer Qin Muxuan to the emergency room without touching her wound. Gu Zijin was waiting in the hallway and feeling super anxious. However, what drove him crazy was that he would be of no help in the emergency room. After a long while, he took out a phone and called Lisa,
“I need all the information of a doctor whose last name is Yin at the Central Hospital in one hour.”
“Yes, president.”
Gu Zijin hung up the phone. After a short while, the door of the emergency room was open. There were sweats on Yin Youting’s forehead, and the nurse beside him passed a tissue to him. However, he didn’t take it and only stared at Gu Zijin with a sulky look,
“Xuan has a high fever of 39 degrees. If she stays in this condition, she will develop all kinds of complications. Besides, it’s clear that Xuan has been suffering from tiredness and malnutrition all the time. That’s why her symptom will be so severe.”
Gu Zijin fixed his eyes only on Qin Muxuan who was being pushed out. Right now, Qin Muxuan was having an intravenous drip now with her pretty eyebrows still wrinkled tightly as if her sadness could never be driven away. Gu Zijin walked to her straight away and said grimly,
“It’s none of your business how I treat my woman.”
“What did you say?”
Hearing the words ‘my woman’, Yin Youting showed an astonished look on his face at once. Gu Zijin touched Qin Muxuan’s pale and haggard face with his finger, saying sullenly,
“Qin Muxuan is my wife, and we already have a child together. I know you are the second son of the president of the Yin Group and her ex-boyfriend, but I need you to stop pestering her.”
Only then did Yin Youting feel the man in front of him looking familiar. If he wasn’t wrong, this man should be Gu Zijin, the successful president of the Gu Group.
‘Xuan’s whereabouts is uncertain these years. Does it have something to do with this man?’ Yin Youting thought. “Before figuring out whether you know each other, I will in no case let you take her away.”
“Fine, we’ll see.”
After that, Gu Zijin hid the cold expression on his face and followed Qin Muxuan into a patient ward.
Yin Youting couldn’t help but clench his fists. The nurse beside him got a bit scared seeing him being like this. The Doctor Yin she knew was always gentle and tender, but now she felt that there was something wrong with him… something that terrified her.
When Qin Muxuan woke up, her lips were extremely dry. Gu Zijin dipped the tissue in the saline water and then used the tissue to wet her lips, saying,Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“Have a rest here. Then we’ll go home.”
Yin Youting entered the room. While he was gazing at Qin Muxuan, he said in a low voice,
“Xuan, do you know him? If you don’t, I won’t let him take you away.”
Qin Muxuan, feeling a lump coming into her throat, lowered her head and said,
“I do.”
“You really are… his…”
Yin Youting couldn’t even utter the words he had wanted to say. He didn’t believe that Qin Muxuan would have given up on him and fallen in love with Gu Zijin. What was more, Gu Zijin had announced his single status to the public, which meant that Qin Muxuan wasn’t his legal wife right now.
Yin Youting had always known Qin Muxuan as a proud girl, a noble and delicate lady of the Qin Family who would never attach herself to Gu Zijin… ‘If you had to rely on someone five years ago, that person should have been me!’ Yin Youting thought.
“Youting, I’ll go with him.”
Yin Youting uttered the word ‘Fine’ reluctantly and then turned around to leave.
Gu Zijin touched Qin Muxuan’s face softly and said with a meaningful look,
“Good girl. You know what will happen to you if you refuse to go back with me.”
Qin Muxuan turned her head away, with slight sadness showing in her watery eyes. Even her eye sockets turned completely red. Yin Youting’s appearance opened a gate in her heart, and all those painful feelings just gushed out like a flood.
Five years ago when she was set up by her step-mother, she fled in panic. The only person she felt sorry to was Yin Youting… He had been her childhood lover. However, one wrong move had made her lose everything… If she hadn’t drunk the water handed to her by her stepmother…
