My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife

...Okay!

Qin Yu steeled himself and agreed.

Damn it, love should be impulsive, passionate, not so full of hesitation, looking back and forth.

Alright, let's meet at the entrance of Gymnasium No. 1 in the city center at six o'clock in the evening.

Yan Mingyu stated the specific time and place.

I'll definitely be there on time.

"Huff...."

After sending the message, Qin Yu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief from the depths of his heart. Whether Yan Mingyu could accept the fact that he was her husband or not, it was time to clarify their relationship.

After waiting a few minutes without a reply from Yan Mingyu, he guessed she must be busy at work, so he didn't send another message. Instead, he found Li Xiaozu's number and called.

After all, he had promised Yan Mingyu to ensure his security. However, he couldn't help but worry about Liu Xiaoxiao, wanting to visit her at the hospital.

He had to ask for a leave of absence from Li Xiaozu.

Beep beep...

After two rings, Li Xiaozu's hearty voice came through, "Mr. Qin, did you have a good rest?"

"Mr. Li, I've got some personal matters today, so I might come to find you later..."

Qin Yu said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Oh, no problem, Mr. Qin. I'm going back to my hometown for a family memorial service today, and there will be government officials with me and plenty of police cars clearing the way, so there shouldn't be any safety issues! You go ahead with your business, and I'll call you if I need your protection later!"

Li Xiaozu said thoughtfully.

"Alright, we'll be in touch later!"

"Okay!"

After Li Xiaozu hung up the phone, Qin Yu thought for a while and then called Liu Xiaoxiao.

"Hello?"

Soon, a somewhat weak voice from Liu Xiaoxiao came through the phone.

"Which hospital are you at?"

Qin Yu asked straightforwardly.

"What hospital? I'm at my own hospital, okay?"

Liu Xiaoxiao feigned confusion.

"Yan told me you weren't well, so I'm coming to see you!"

Qin Yu felt a little guilty toward Liu Xiaoxiao. As she said herself, a girl's pride has its limits, yet he kept rejecting her.

Emotions really did put one in a tough spot.

To not reject Liu Xiaoxiao would mean betraying his wife, Yan Mingyu.

"Why are you coming? It's not serious, just a little cold. Besides, I might get better faster if you don't come. If I see you and get angry, I'll probably have to stay a few more days in the hospital!"

Liu Xiaoxiao said with a hint of resentment in her voice.

"Am I that disagreeable to you?"

Qin Yu couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation.

"Yes, you're a blockhead, a big dope! I get angry just seeing you!"

Liu Xiaoxiao muttered.

"Err... well, please calm down, I'll come to apologize, is that okay?"

Qin Yu could only go along with Liu Xiaoxiao's words. Once he arrived, he would find out exactly what was wrong with her to see if his grandfather could do something about it.

His grandfather had been a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner all his life and had resolved many difficult and complicated cases.

"Hmph... insincere sentiments!"

Liu Xiaoxiao, still miffed, was not buying it.

She knew Qin Yu's intention to visit her was not due to a sudden change of heart but because Yan Mingyu had told him that she had some strange disease and didn't have much longer to live.

"I...."

Qin Yu became anxious, his experience in dealing with women being severely lacking.

Fortunately, Liu Xiaoxiao didn't truly want to avoid seeing him and eventually gave him the hospital address: "I'm at East Sea First Hematology Hospital! Room 506."

"Alright, I'm on my way!"

Immediately, Qin Yu hastily left the hotel and flagged down a taxi with the hospital's address.

However, when he arrived at the hospital, the ward was empty.

Hum....

Could it be that Liu Xiaoxiao…

Qin Yu's mind went blank, his heart stumbled, and his tear glands hurt fiercely.

Seeing a nurse walking over, he blinked his sore eyes before hastily asking, "Excuse me, the patient in room 506, she..."

"Oh… her condition suddenly deteriorated, she's being resuscitated!"

Thought the nurse before answering.

"Which floor is the resuscitation taking place? I'm her friend!"

Qin Yu asked again.

"Upstairs!"

The nurse said and walked away.

Thump, thump...

Seeing that the elevator wasn't coming, Qin Yu simply ran upstairs using the staircase.

Seeing the door to the emergency room tightly closed, his heart clenched. He could only pace back and forth on the spot, like an ant on a hot pan.

Possibly half an hour later.

The door to the emergency room opened, and Liu Xiaoxiao, pale and wearing an oxygen mask, was wheeled out.

"Xiaoxiao..."

Qin Yu couldn't help but call out.

"....."

Liu Xiaoxiao couldn't speak with the oxygen mask on but still managed to blink at Qin Yu.

"Doctor... what exactly is wrong with her?"

Qin Yu grabbed the attending physician, feeling that all of this was too sudden. Wasn't this enchantress fine just last night?

"Genetic illness, causing abnormal hematopoietic function and respiratory failure. This time, she seems to have pulled through, but who knows when the next episode might occur!"

The doctor said gravely.

"Then... is there a way?"

Qin Yu's worry grew tighter; he knew some medical knowledge, understanding that respiratory failure, if not treated in time, meant death.

"For this type of genetic disease, there is currently no highly effective treatment. However, we can contain the mutation of the patient's body cells with chemotherapy."

The doctor shook his head.

"Okay, thank you, doctor!"

After speaking, Qin Yu went downstairs to the ward.

Liu Xiaoxiao lay on the hospital bed, staring unwaveringly at Qin Yu, as if trying to etch his image into her mind.

"You will be okay!"

Qin Yu walked to the bedside and gently patted the back of Liu Xiaoxiao's hand, comforting her, "The doctor said that chemotherapy can..."

"I don't want chemotherapy!"

Liu Xiaoxiao, as if triggered, swiftly removed her oxygen mask and said with wide, angry eyes, "I refuse to become some hideous monster who loses all her hair and gets deformed! Even if I have to die, I want to go out looking beautiful!"

"Heh… okay, no chemotherapy, no chemotherapy!"

Qin Yu let out a wry smile. Women's thought processes were indeed different from others.

"By the way, you're not allowed to tell Mingyu that I was in the emergency room!"

Liu Xiaoxiao glared again before continuing, "She got Pei Luoyan's concert tickets early in the morning and is meeting her husband tonight. This event is too sacred, too important for her. I don't want to affect her date with her husband!"

"Okay, I won't tell her!"

Qin Yu nodded, feeling a bit worried. If Liu Xiaoxiao ever found out that he was Yan Mingyu's husband, would she be even more upset, feeling that he had been deceiving her all along?

"Actually, I..."

Qin Yu felt that since Liu Xiaoxiao would find out sooner or later, and he was to meet Yan Mingyu that night anyway, he might as well tell her.

It might also clear up her misunderstandings and ease her worries.

"Actually, what?"

Liu Xiaoxiao looked at Qin Yu suspiciously and asked.

"I... I am Yan Mingyu's husband!"

Qin Yu said through gritted teeth.

"What?"

Liu Xiaoxiao was clearly shocked, staring fixedly at Qin Yu: "You... are Mingyu's husband?"
