Mr. Lu, Mr. Su is being coquettish again!

Lu Fang's newly registered company is in its initial stage, and he took a gamble, investing almost all of his money.

Therefore, every step is crucial now; one wrong move could lead to utter ruin.

They also hired many professional management talents at high prices.

When I get busy, I tend to neglect Su Nanqin. Today, during a planning meeting at the company, he kept feeling his eyelids twitching.

Although I'm not usually too worried, I felt uneasy about everything today.

Su Nanqin's insomnia has gotten worse recently. Lu Fang has seen her vomiting in the bathroom early in the morning several times, and her complexion is also very bad.

He was heartbroken and had no choice but to do his best to cook good food for her and take good care of her.

I wonder if the other person listened to him and ate properly, or if they took a nap.

Originally, after the planning meeting, I planned to take Wei Chi to a social event to discuss the bidding process for suppliers.

He thought about it again and again, still feeling uneasy, so he called Su Nanqin to ask if she had eaten properly.

The call went through, but no one answered.

Lu Fang frowned and pressed the call button again. Still, no one answered.

He dialed the landline at home again. The landline at Su Nanqin's house was designed much like a doorbell; almost no one dialed it, but once it was connected, it basically connected to every room in the entire villa.

Therefore, there is basically no situation where you cannot borrow it.

Still no one answered. Lu Fang's brow twitched. He remembered that Su Nanqin had said he wouldn't work overtime today, and that he had hugged his neck and wouldn't let him leave before he left.

He was very clingy, and in the end, Lu Fang kissed him and told him to eat well and that he would reward him when he came back, before he reluctantly let go.

Then he smiled and assured himself that he would eat at home obediently.

Looking at the person standing at the door seeing him off, Lu Fang felt incredibly soft-hearted. For a moment, he really wanted to stay home and stay with Su Nanqin.

Su Nanqin doesn't actually have many days off, but he's been too busy to spend many days off with her.

Lu Fang thought about it and was still worried, since Su Nanqin almost never failed to answer his calls.

Finally, they called Wei Chi and told him to withdraw from the bidding.

Wei Chi's eyes widened in disbelief: "What? Brother? You turned it down? You got this bid by being forced to drink who knows how much alcohol, and you just turned it down like that? Why?"

Lu Fang couldn't explain why, he just felt he had to go back and check on things, though of course he couldn't tell Wei Chi.

Wei Chi doesn't know about his relationship with Su Nanqin yet.

He figured he'd be furious if he found out, so he didn't say anything.

Lu Fang looked at him, then felt a bit helpless, but finally hardened his heart and said, "Let's cancel it."

Wei Chi's face was full of disbelief; no one knew how much his brother had sacrificed for this bid.

Lu Fang was also disappointed, but he still comforted the boy, "It's okay, there will be other opportunities in the future."

There were many rounds of bidding, but there was only one Su Nanqin. He had a gut feeling that if he didn't go back today, he would regret it later.

Wei Chi was still unwilling to give up and wanted to continue to persuade him: "Brother, what's wrong? Why don't I go in your place?"

No one can replace him.

Su Nanqin only needs Lu Fang.

However, when it came to replacing him, he looked at Wei Chi. This kid had become more and more capable under his guidance, so letting him go might not be a bad idea.

Then he looked at Wei Chi and slowly said, "Go."

"Okay, bro," Wei Chi was finally convinced and readily agreed, a little happy. "What is it?"

He asked again very quickly.

"Bidding." Lu Fang answered decisively and firmly.

He trusted Wei Chi.

"What?" Wei Chi's jaw dropped in shock.

"Go for the bidding, I believe in you." Lu Fang thought this might be a good opportunity to train this kid.

"But I don't understand anything." Wei Chi looked at his brother's expression and knew that the other man was not joking.

"It's okay. How bad can the people who work with me be? Go ahead and do it. I'll cover for you if anything goes wrong," Lu Fang encouraged him.

I'll cover for you, bro.

Wei Chi looked at his brother, momentarily stunned. He knew he hadn't followed the wrong person.

Even if he falls from grace, his brother is willing to cover for him.

People like Lu Fang instinctively make those around them feel safe.

"Okay, I'll go. I don't need you to pay for it; I can do it myself." Wei Chi said, seemingly making up his mind, but with a hint of stubbornness in his voice.

Lu Fang looked at the person and smiled: "Go ahead, I believe in you."

Wei Chi glanced at his brother, opened his mouth, and in the atmosphere, he felt a sudden urge to blurt something out.

After hesitating for a moment, I still didn't say anything.

Wei Chi has a kind of chick complex towards his brother, almost to the point of worship.

He was enveloped in a contradictory emotion, a strange feeling that he himself couldn't quite explain.

All he knows is that he will do whatever his brother asks him to do, even if it costs him his life.

-

Lu Fang drove back, and on the way he felt inexplicably flustered. He had never felt so uneasy before.

The speed increased unconsciously, and the palms of my hands gripping the steering wheel were covered in fine sweat.

He took a deep breath when he reached the door, and then pushed it open.

He hoped that he was just overreacting.

The food on the table had been eaten and hadn't been cleared away. He then walked around the first floor again, but no one was there.

As he walked up to the second floor, he called out, just like countless times before when he came home: "Nan Nan."

When people are under extreme stress, they tend to create a false sense of normalcy to numb themselves.

Lu Fang was no exception.

I went around the study and bedroom, but no one was there.

He rushed downstairs again, but he hadn't noticed in his haste that Su Nanqin's phone had fallen to the ground.

Looking at the phone lying quietly on the ground, Lu Fang suddenly felt a bad premonition.

Su Nanqin's phone was not locked for him, although he rarely looked at the other person's phone either.

He picked up his phone and turned it on, only to find that his last call was two hours earlier.

The person on the call was Su Xiangming.

Surname Su...

Lu Fang's unease subsided slightly.

Then, looking at the empty room with only cell phones, a huge sense of unease suddenly arose.

He suddenly imagined countless epic battles between wealthy families.

Although these things have been reported in the news, it does not diminish the possibility that they could happen to Su Nanqin.

After all, Su Nanqin was never an ordinary person.

This person controls nearly half of the resources in Beijing's social circle.

Lu Fang did not believe that there were no conflicts of interest or any deceit or treachery involved.

But Su Nanqin never told him that.

All he needed to know was that Lu Fang was aware of the surface calm.

Su Xiangming?

Who is he?

Lu Fang became increasingly uneasy as he thought about it, imagining countless scenarios of kidnapping and threats.

It must be said that people lose their rationality and judgment when under high stress.

Lu Fang was no exception.

He held the phone and tried calling out again, "Nan Nan."

"Crack." The sound of shattering glass came from the bathroom on the corner of the first floor.

That's it! I haven't looked for it!

Lu Fang was suddenly overjoyed because of his overthinking and mistake.

Things don't seem to be that serious yet.

Then I started to feel scared again.

He rushed to the washroom and was shocked by what he saw, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Su Nanqin collapsed against the wall, whether from discomfort or something else. The water in the sink was still flowing, already submerging him up to his thighs, leaving half his body wet.

Su Nanqin seemed to still be somewhat conscious. When he saw someone arrive, he weakly opened his eyes, but then his eyelids drooped again under the strain.

It looks scary.

Lu Fang didn't know what was wrong with the other person; he only knew that his heart was trembling violently.

With lightning speed, she turned off the tap, ran to Su Nanqin, scooped the soaking wet man up, and held him in her arms, repeatedly calling, "Nan Nan! Nan Nan! Wake up!"

Su Nanqin's fingers twitched, and Lu Fang shook her body again: "Nan Nan, be good, baby, wake up, don't sleep."

Lu Fang's hands were trembling as he held Su Nanqin, whose body was soaked and cold.

Lu Fang had the illusion that he was about to lose his grip on the person in his arms, and his heart was filled with an unprecedented panic.

He carried the other person upstairs, then took off all of Su Nanqin's soaked clothes, and quickly dried him off with a large blanket.

There was no time to change clothes, and Lu Fang was extremely panicked. He wrapped Su Nanqin in a blanket and held her tightly in his arms: "Nannan, wake up."

He tried to wake the other person up and prevent them from falling asleep.

no response.

Lu Fang hardened his heart and pinched the other person's leg, the part least likely to be injured, trying to use pain to wake the other person up.

Perhaps because of the pain, Su Nanqin's brow twitched.

Lu Fang quickly called to him, "Baby, wake up."

Su Nanqin weakly opened his eyes, his vision was blurry, and he felt as if the world was spinning in front of him.

It seems to be Lu Fang...

Seeing that Su Nanqin was responding, Lu Fang almost desperately coaxed, "Sweetie. Wake up, be good, don't sleep..."

Lu Fang shook him, and Su Nanqin opened his eyes with some difficulty. They were still blurry. He felt nauseous and the intense dizziness made it hard for him to tell where he was.

He could only vaguely sense that he was in Lu Fang's arms, and Lu Fang was still holding him and comforting him as usual.

That's wonderful. It would be even better if it weren't a dream.

Su Nanqin was completely dazed, only rubbing against the warmth of Lu Fang's embrace, whether consciously or unconsciously, it was hard to tell.

He mumbled incoherently, "I feel terrible... Lu Fang... I feel terrible..."

Seeing that the other person seemed to be awake but didn't want to wake up, Lu Fang felt extremely distressed and coaxed, "Okay, baby, don't sleep, okay? I'll take you to the hospital."

"It hurts..." Su Nanqin's brows furrowed in discomfort, and he kept saying that he felt terrible.

Fortunately, he was still conscious. Lu Fang held him in his arms and grabbed a change of clothes while comforting him as they went downstairs: "Yeah, I know you're uncomfortable. Pat me and you'll feel better, Nan Nan."

Almost unconsciously, Su Nanqin snuggled closer to Lu Fang, drawn by the warmth, and whispered, "Lu Fang... I feel unwell..."

Lu Fang looked down at the person in his arms and unconsciously quickened his pace.

He felt a sharp pain in his heart as the soft, delicate person in his arms cried out "I'm in pain" repeatedly...

One step slower and he would have drowned in the other person's crisp, clear cries of "I'm in pain"...
