Chapter 676: 0666 never eats the grass that has already been passed. Chapter 676: 0666 never eats the grass that has already been passed. After a long while, Ling Qingan’s face finally revealed a cryptic smile.

Yes!

Perhaps from the day she decided to return to her homeland, her illness had been healing.

She carelessly stuffed all the documents into her bag and looked up at the azure sky outside the window. The bright sunshine was on her, yet she couldn’t feel the slightest warmth. She just felt a chill all over her body.

Indeed!

Since she had chosen to live, she should face the future properly.

Suddenly, her lips curved in an almost imperceptible arc, more heartfelt than usual.

Taking her gaze back, she was about to turn around when she collided with a cleaning cart parked beside her without noticing.

She supported herself against the wall with one hand and covered her injured waist with the other, her body slightly bent, her beautiful eyebrows tightly furrowed as dull pain turned her face increasingly pale.

At that moment, the janitor came out of the clinic and saw Ling Qingan against the wall, pale-faced, and quickly approached to ask.

“Miss, are you all right? Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?”

Ling Qingan bit her lip tightly and only after a long while did she give a slight shake of her head.

Her sensitive waist had been hit hard, nearly preventing her from standing straight.

Leaning against the wall, she adjusted for a moment then tried to move forward, only to have her wrist suddenly caught by a strong hand.

With a slight pull, she stumbled two steps backward and bumped into a firm and powerful chest.

“Do you not have eyes?!”

A cold and indifferent voice came from behind her.

Ling Qingan first smelled a familiar, cool scent, then slowly raised her head and met a pair of dark, deep eyes.

The man’s features were exceptionally handsome, now slightly tinged with irritation.

Dressed with prideful elegance, he exuded an air of solemnity.

Upon seeing his face, Ling Qingan experienced a piercing pain in her head.

She closed her eyes wearily, her voice filled with helplessness.

“Let go.”

Wen Jichen narrowed his dangerous eyes, gazing at her coldly.

His grip on her wrist unconsciously tightened.

As his force increased, her frown deepened.

In the end, she bit her lip hard, still refusing to open her eyes to look at him.

Ling Qingan felt her head get heavier and heavier as the things she had deliberately sealed away started to resurge.

Her hands clenched into fists, veins bulging on the back of her hands, her body slightly bent like a bow that could break at any moment.

Wen Jichen watched her quietly, noting her stubborn, unyielding demeanor, his gaze colder than a thousand-year-old glacier.

“Ling Qingan…”

Hearing the man call her name, Ling Qingan’s body tensed up, even trembling slightly.

Wen Jichen, with acute sensitivity, slowly curved his thin lips into a mocking smile.

“Your stubbornness hasn’t changed a bit from before!”

Ling Qingan suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes rimmed red, staring fiercely at Wen Jichen.

She used all her strength to shake off his hand, screaming sharply.

“Get away, don’t touch me!”

Wen Jichen stumbled backward when she violently pushed him away.

He watched her fierce reaction and his gaze deepened.

“Isn’t Director Wen here to see his girlfriend? What’s the meaning of tangling with me here? Aren’t you afraid your girlfriend will get jealous?”

Ling Qingan glared at Wen Jichen, her hand tightly clutching the wrist he had just held, her shoulders trembling slightly as if suppressing something.

“Tangling with you?”

Wen Jichen’s face, upon hearing her words, twisted into an even deeper sneer. His eyes, a direct mockery, cut sharply into her heart like blades, suffocating her with pain.

Ling Qingan’s eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly, her grip on her wrist growing tighter.

A moment later, a smile devoid of any apology curled on her pale face.

“Oh, it seems I’ve misunderstood. It’s good there’s no entanglement. I was genuinely worried that Director Wen might still be hung up on old feelings!”

Wen Jichen’s sharp brows twitched violently a couple of times, his hands balled into fists in his suit pockets.

“Ling, Qing, An!”

His voice, grinding through teeth, wished nothing more than to tear this woman in front of him limb from limb!

“Did I hit a nerve, Director Wen? Sorry, but as for me, I never eat my words.”

Not knowing which remark had provoked Wen Jichen so, at this point, his face grew even colder, his aura of cold fury making everyone reflexively step back.

The assistant who had just received Yin Xiner’s call swallowed his words upon witnessing Wen Jichen’s furious state, standing respectfully to the side.

With a face of chilling coldness, Wen Jichen stepped forward, pinched Ling Qingan’s wrist, and dragged her in front of himself.

His teeth-gritting voice showcased his anger at this moment.

“Ling Qingan, your talent for angering me is as consistent as ever.”

Wen Jichen’s touch filled Ling Qingan with rejection.

A stabbing pain once again buzzed in her head, gradually taking over her nerves as she turned deadly pale, struggling with the last of her strength.

“Let go of me, get lost, don’t touch me!”

“Ling Qingan!”

The more she struggled, the tighter Wen Jichen held her, his face becoming even more furious.

In the struggle between them, the bag that Ling Qingan had over her arm tumbled to the ground, and the examination report she had stuffed into it fell out as well.

Ling Qingan’s eyes widened in horror, a trace of fear in her gaze.

She bent to pick it up, but the man beat her to it, picking up the things from the ground.

“Give it back to me, give it back!”

She struggled to snatch the items from Wen Jichen’s hand, but how could she, weak and powerless, stand a chance against a tall man?

Watching as Wen Jichen’s eyes landed on the examination report, the last strand of her composure suddenly snapped, and she screamed uncontrollably.

In the end, her body went limp, and she fainted.

Wen Jichen clutched the report tightly in his hand and quickly caught her, his entire being enveloped in a storm of cold rage.

He bent down, swept her up in his arms, and strode forward.

“Xiao Yan, investigate, check her medical records at the hospital!”

Xiao Yan felt a chill run through him. Having worked with Director Wen for so many years, he had never seen him this enraged before.

His intense aura, cold and terrifying, seemed to burst forth from him like a storm, threatening to destroy everything in its path.

He quickly answered and hurried away, completely forgetting about Yin Xiner who was still waiting for Wen Jichen!

In the private hospital room.

Wen Jichen’s tall and straight figure emitted a chilling ferocity.

The spacious hospital room was filled with doctors and nurses, all silent as the grave.

They busied themselves in an orderly manner, their hearts clenched at the sight of the woman on the bed, pale as if all life had left her.

Ignoring Wen Jichen’s daunting presence, they all wore serious expressions, starting their examinations carefully and thoroughly.

Time passed, unmeasured.

After the examination, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

The doctor approached Wen Jichen and called out softly.

“Director Wen…”

“What’s the situation?”
