The assistant handed the phone over. Su Ci saw that familiar handsome face, Fu Nancheng. He had initiated a video call.
Fu Nancheng was now in the presidential suite of a six-star hotel. The interior decoration was low-key yet luxurious, which was his style. Due to the time difference, it was night there. The brilliant champagne-gold lights overhead shone down, casting a golden glow on his already handsome face. He was wearing a dark blue silk nightgown, and his neat short hair was damp, clearly having just taken a shower. He was incredibly young and handsome.
He looked over through the screen, his brows slightly furrowed, and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you answer my call?"
Su Ci held the phone and said, "I didn't hear it."
"Heh." He smiled and even cursed softly, "Little liar."
The little liar Su Ci, "..."
"President, these are the suit and shirt you need to wear for the meeting later." At this moment, a woman walked into the camera frame.
Su Ci recognized this voice. It was the woman who had answered his phone earlier. The woman was wearing a black professional suit, with a black blazer on top, a pencil skirt below, black stockings, and high heels. She was a beautiful and eye-catching young professional woman in the workplace with red lips and white teeth. She was holding his suit and shirt in her arms, and they were ironed without a single wrinkle. She gently placed them on the large bed.
The woman looked up at him, and her eyes were filled with light and... him.
However, Fu Nancheng didn't look at the woman but at Su Ci in the camera. "What are you thinking about, Miss Secretary?"
His words made Su Ci blush. Why was he telling her this? For a CEO like him, it was not surprising to have a female secretary to take care of his daily life, diet, and so on.
"I'm not thinking about anything."
Fu Nancheng looked at the half of her small face shown on the video. There were no scars, and she looked vulnerable and beautiful. He lowered his voice and curled his lips. "I've been working ever since I came here. I didn't have time for anything else. Don't think too much."
Su Ci realized that the conversation between the two of them had deviated a bit, and the atmosphere was already rather ambiguous. She didn't understand why he took the initiative to explain, especially this sentence "Don't think too much", which really made her think more.
This man, who was experienced in the business world, was a natural leader. There was no need to mention his mature and steady male charm. As long as he was willing to be a little gentle, it would give people the illusion of deep affection, especially when he deliberately lowered his magnetic voice, which was very much like the whispers between lovers.
Su Ci was only 20 years old and had never experienced this before.
"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up." She was in a hurry to end the call.
Fu Nancheng still had a meeting later and couldn't talk for long. "Just stay in the hospital with peace of mind. We'll talk about everything when I get back."
The two ended the video call. The assistant said respectfully, "Miss Su, we have already arranged a senior nurse and a professional medical team for you here. If there's an emergency, just call me, and I'll be at your service at any time."
"Thank you."
After seeing off the assistant, Su Ci sat by the bedside to accompany her grandmother. This time, she was grateful to Fu Nancheng. It was as if as soon as Fu Nancheng appeared, her chaotic world became quiet.
...…
In the next two days, Su Ci made perfumes during the day and rushed back to the hospital to accompany her grandmother at night. Because she was too tired, she fell asleep leaning on her grandmother's bedside at night.
At this moment, a steady sound of footsteps came from the corridor outside. It gradually got closer and closer, and then the door of the ward was opened.
Fu Nancheng was back.
The man came late at night. He was wearing a black overcoat outside, a black suit of the same color inside, and black leather gloves on his hands. He had rushed back in a hurry.
Secretary Song stayed outside and closed the door. Fu Nancheng came to the bedside and looked at the girl who was sleeping soundly by the bedside.
