President, Our Egg Is Lost

Chapter Forty-Eight: Darling, you can sleep at ease.

In addition to being moved, Ji XiaoYu felt a bit grateful. The moment he was shot in the heart was ten times more painful than the birth of the little white egg. He thought he wouldn’t be able to take it, that he would either die or change into his original form. But now, those two terrible results hadn’t happened. Did that mean that his cultivation had become more refined and that he had become a really powerful spiritual beast?!

He couldn’t help but feel smug, but unfortunately he couldn’t share this with anyone else and he could only enjoy it by himself.

As he was happily thinking to himself, the man on the bedside took his hand again and pressed it to the left side of his chest. He said with a tone that had never been more serious, “Baby, thank you, I love you. From now on, Cheng YuTang, my whole person, my whole heart is yours. I don’t know how long I’m going to live, but as long as I’m alive each day, I’ll love you each day, until my heart no longer beats.”

Hearing those three words caught him off-guard. For a moment, Ji XiaoYu didn’t know if he wanted to laugh or cry. This man was too foul. Those pleasant-to-hear words were simply better than money, throwing him to earth one by one. He was so happy when he heard this that he spilled tears of joy.

Cheng YuTang waited for a while and still didn’t hear what he wanted to hear. He couldn’t help but urge, “So, Ji XiaoYu, my friend, is there anything you want to say to me?”

Say what? Ji XiaoYu felt a bit hot. After thinking about it, he said carefully, “Even if your leg is broken and you become crippled, I won’t turn my back on you?”

This made Cheng YuTang want to cry. He said helplessly, “Baby, thank you for not abandoning me, but don’t worry, I won’t become crippled, it’s just a fracture. There are no other major problems. If it’s fast, I’ll recover in one to two months.”

Oh, that’s great! Ji XiaoYu heaved a sigh of relief. He had been worried about that issue just now. But he had been afraid that Cheng YuTang’s pride wouldn’t be able to stand it, so he hadn’t dared to mention it. But this was all good.

He didn’t mean to discriminate against the crippled at all, but if this proud, handsome man couldn’t walk freely in the future, then he could only rely on the wheelchair for movement. The kind of image just made him feel bad when he thought about it. Luckily, that didn’t happen.

Cheng YuTang nodded and said positively, “Besides that, do you have any worries or concerns? Just say it and leave everything to me to fix.”

What else? Ji XiaoYu grabbed his messy head of hair. If there was anything else he was worried about, it was only his own spiritual beast identity and the existence of the little white egg.

Now he and this man could be considered to be sharing one life and death, having gone through a shared struggle. And just now, he so solemnly confessed to him. So was he supposed to reveal his true identity to him? Otherwise, wasn’t it a bit unfair to him?

But, better to be safe than sorry. Ji XiaoYu didn’t doubt Cheng YuTang’s feelings towards himself right now, but if he found out that he wasn’t a human but a spiritual beast, would those feelings not be discounted?

He also remembered a line that he had heard in a dog blood idol drama previously. Basically that you should never test love, because love can’t stand the test. If he really confessed, wouldn’t the truth be a bit cruel to Cheng YuTang, who was an ordinary human being?

With such a tangled knot of thoughts, the pain in the bullet wound got even worse and his face turned white instantly.

Cheng YuTang saw this expression and felt both distressed and remorseful. He once again took the man gently into his arms and stroked his head like a child’s. “Baby, if you don’t want to, you don’t have to say anything. The most important task right now is to heal up well and get better soon.”

The little thing had been hurt like this, how could he still have the heart to force him to say it?

Even though he was a little hesitant and worried, he shouldn’t force him.

Compared to his life and health, how could it matter what he was? As long as he was okay, everything else was secondary.

Ji XiaoYu leaned into his arms and sniffled lightly. For the moment, he couldn’t speak.

This man was really good to him. If there was a human being in the world that deserved to be trusted by himself, it had to be him.

He would tell him. He’d just wait until he was ready, when he was able to fight for and support him again. He would tell him exactly what he was and would never be a coward again!

……

The two hugged for a long time and then Ji XiaoYu felt a little breathless, so he had to whisper, “Hey, can you let go?”

The man did not answer, the arm still ringing around his waist motionless.

Ji XiaoYu’s heart sank, no way? It can’t be that…….

He quickly grabbed Cheng YuTang’s shoulders and pulled him away a bit. He saw that his eyes were closed and he seemed unconscious, so he cried out quickly in fear, “Cheng YuTang, what’s wrong with you? Wake up!”

The few people who had been waiting outside the door immediately rushed in. There were the assistant, Zhao BaiXin, the security captain, Yang YiPeng, and several of the more prominent, skilled security guards, Liang ShaoGang was among them.

And then the doctor on duty came in and, after looking over Cheng YuTang’s condition, said firmly, “It’s okay, Mr. Cheng is asleep, he hasn’t slept in almost three days.”

Ji XiaoYu breathed a sigh of relief, aiya, almost scared this pheasant to death. Since he almost gave his life for him, if this man still suffered some accident, then he would be losing profit on the exchange.

Zhao BaiXin’s expression contoured in a subtle way, and then he smiled and said with a laugh in his voice, “Mr. Ji, Cheng Zong has exhausted himself for you these past few days. Now he needs to have a good rest, otherwise even this ironclad man won’t be able to survive. I’m going to push him back to his room now; you have no problem with that, right?”

Ji XiaoYu listened to this and felt both a little guilty and reproached. “Of course not, I’ll be troubling Assistant Zhao then.”

“It’s no trouble, this is my duty,” Zhao BaiXin said as he pushed the wheelchair. Cheng YuTang’s brow suddenly wrinkled, his hand holding Ji XiaoYu’s hospital gown and refusing to let go. His eyelids trembled, as if he were struggling to wake up.

Ji XiaoYu hurried to pet his head and imitated his previous tone as he coaxed, “Darling, you can sleep at ease. I promise not to run, otherwise I’m a dog.”

As the words left his lips, he went numb for a moment.

That trick was pretty useful; Cheng YuTang loosened his grip and leaned back to rest in the chair.

Everyone else’s facial muscles tensed awkwardly.

“Oh, Mr. Ji is so resourceful. I, Assistant Zhao, have been with him for almost ten years and can’t match that,” Zhao BaiXin lamented. He nodded in a polite way towards Ji XiaoYu and then pushed Cheng YuTang out to leave.

Yang YiPeng smiled and said, “My friend, Xiao Yu, this time, you made another great contribution.”

Ji XiaoYu’s eyes got bright when he heard this, “Is there going to be a reward from the company?”

Last time when I captured six traffickers, I was awarded 10000 yuan. This time, there were more than twenty, so could it be 30000 or 40000 yuan?

The corners of Yang YiPeng’s mouth twitched again. “There should be. I’ll go back and ask Cheng Zong later.”

Watching Cheng Zong wait without eating or sleeping, obviously seeing this kid as his heart and soul, the most treasured object of his life, such that even gifting him a mountain of gold wouldn’t seem strange. This kid was actually thinking about rewards from the company, he really was so outstanding – ??*cough* he definitely wasn’t being derogatory. Just that it was no wonder that he could attract Cheng Zong who had always had such a high-level way of looking at things.

“Okay, thank you, Captain!” Ji XiaoYu said cheerfully.

“You’re welcome, I should be thanking you instead,” Yang YiPeng couldn’t keep from laughing. “Okay, I’ll go out with the guys, just outside in the hallway. If you need something, just shout.” With that, he went out with the security guards.

Liang ShaoGang dropped back to the back of the group. He took a few steps and then turned back, and wanted to say something but stopped himself, “Xiao Yu, you and Cheng Zong………”

Ji XiaoYu looked up at him and said with some shyness, “Liang Ge, what about me and Cheng Zong?”

“Nothing, you have a good rest, I wish you a speedy recovery.” Liang ShaoGang turned and left the room.

“Thank you, Liang Ge.” Ji XiaoYu yawned. He did actually feel sleepy, so he tucked the little white egg into the quilt, put it under his belly, and then closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Now that he would be lying in bed all day incubating, would the baby grow a bit stronger?

……

He slept like that for a long time and then when Ji XiaoYu woke up in the evening, he found that there was another bed in the room, side by side with his own. A certain someone was sitting at the head of the bed, holding a pen in his hand and flipping through a document he held while writing on it.

He couldn’t help but feel a little emotional. If a person had money, they could really do whatever they wanted. At first glance, it could be seen this room was very advanced, as if it wasn’t part of a medical facility, but was a suite in a high-class hotel.

After scanning around the environment, Ji XiaoYu fixed his eyes on the patient in the next bed.

It looked like the man had taken care of himself, his chin was very clean-shaven and, although his head was still wrapped in bandages, his hair style was more refreshing than before. After sleeping, his facial complexion was also a lot better, no longer showing the haggard, sorrowful expression that Ji XiaoYu had seen first thing when he had woken up earlier.

Having to work even after breaking a leg, that’s just too tough. Ji XiaoYu felt a little heartache as he stared at the man’s profile.

Strange, why didn’t I ever take a good look while at the company when he was working before? During that time, Cheng YuTang worked in the outer office and he ate and watched TV in the lounge. It seemed that he had never looked closely at the man’s appearance when he was working seriously.

Honestly, he looked good. Even though his cheeks were a lot thinner and he was still wearing a hospital gown, he was still very handsome, so good-looking that he couldn’t help but gulp down a mouthful of saliva……

“Baby, if you keep peeking at me like that, I’m going to be tempted to do something to you,” the man suddenly turned his head, smiling as he laughed.

Ji XiaoYu’s face heated and he habitually started to deny it. But the words changed when they reached his lips and, not fearing death, he said, “Then you come!”

Cheng YuTang: “………”

He really couldn’t come right now.

Not even mentioning the bandage on his head, cast on his leg, and the little internal injuries, the fact that he couldn’t move gracefully and wasn’t functioning at 100%, even if he was fine, he couldn’t ignore the little thing’s physical condition.

The doctor had said that any violent physical movements should be strictly prohibited for the first month. If even his mood fluctuated too much, it would affect the recovery of the wound, so even if he had more thoughts and could imagine 18 potential positions in a mere minute, he could only play out the small fantasy in his mind, he couldn’t actually do anything.

But this time, it was different than the past. When he previously would make jokes, the little thing would only get flushed and shy. But this time, he was bold, daring to flirt back. This really deserved some celebration.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down the agitation in his body. Gently, he said, “Baby, I’m sorry, but not just yet. Let’s save it up for now, come back in a month, and do all the good stuff then. What do you think?”

Ji XiaoYu: “………”

I think there’s nothing good about that at all!

Help! Is there still time to take back the comment I just made???
