Beloved Bride: Captured by the Top Playboy

Suxin woke up confused and took a while to realize that she was actually in a hospital.

"Nurse, how did I end up here?" Suxin asked, grabbing the nurse who was changing her IV.

"You had a fever of thirty-nine degrees last night, and a handsome guy brought you here," the nurse said, her face lighting up with envy at the mention of "handsome guy."

"Handsome guy?" The words "pretty-boy" instantly popped into Suxin's head upon hearing that.

"Yes, a very handsome guy, he was holding you like you were his treasure. Miss, you're really lucky."

"What?" Suxin was completely confused and hastily explained, "Don't get the wrong idea, he and I... aren't close!"

"Hmm?" The nurse immediately looked puzzled.

"You're finally awake; that's great. I was worried you might have fried your brain!" Chen Ziqian walked in from outside, carrying a bag. When he had taken her to the hospital last night, he had felt like he was holding a furnace, burning hot all over. Now seeing her awake, he breathed a sigh of relief; fortunately, this lady knew they weren't close, so her brain must be fine.

When Suxin turned her head, she indeed saw Chen Ziqian's face, although today he seemed a bit disheveled.

"Alright, Miss Cheng, you rest well." The nurse finished changing the IV and picked up the tray. Before leaving, she shyly glanced at Chen Ziqian, "Sir, the IV is set, ring the bell if you need me."

"Yeah, thanks," Chen Ziqian replied cheerfully to the nurse, whose face immediately turned red as she hurriedly lowered her head and left.

"Was it you who brought me to the hospital?" Suxin asked, suddenly recalling a horrifying thought. She quickly looked down at the clothes she was wearing; she remembered wearing pajamas yesterday, but to her horror, they had changed into a hospital gown.

"Who else could it have been?" Chen Ziqian replied disdainfully, then placed the bag on the table in front of the bed.

"Was it you who changed my clothes?" Suxin asked alarmingly, hoping it wasn't him.

"I have no interest in changing your clothes. It was done by the nurses here," Chen Ziqian finally realized why this lady was freaking out. He, Chen Ziqian, had never had a precedent of changing clothes for women.

"Oh, that's a relief," Seeing Chen Ziqian's disdainful look, Suxin actually felt relieved.

"I just bought some porridge outside. Eat it." Chen Ziqian took the porridge out of the bag and handed it to Suxin.

Seeing the porridge, Suxin really felt hungry; she hadn't eaten dinner the previous night, had a shower in the morning, couldn't sleep, so she decided to get up and clean, but somehow began to feel unwell, and had planned to rest on the sofa for a while when she suddenly ended up in the hospital.

"Oh, thank you." Struggling to sit up from the bed, Suxin took the porridge handed by Chen Ziqian.

She ate spoon by spoon, but with the IV in her left hand, moving it was somewhat painful, so she ate very slowly.

"Thanks for bringing me here last night," Suxin said, lowering her head as she ate.

"You really don't know how to take care of yourself, wandering around in pajamas and sleeping on the couch in the middle of the night. It's only mid-May; no wonder you got a fever!" Chen Ziqian shook his head helplessly, thinking this lady was definitely simple-minded and careless; he had never seen such a bizarre woman.

Noticing Suxin's brows furrow and the needle in her hand beginning to backflow blood, Chen Ziqian realized his carelessness and hurriedly pulled out a table from the end of the bed.

"Thank you." Suxin was stunned, then thanked him again.

After Suxin finished eating, Chen Ziqian checked the time; it was eight o'clock. "You should be okay on your own in the hospital, right? I have to go to work now, later at noon..."

"Go to work; I'll be fine on my own."

Chen Ziqian wanted to say he would come to bring her lunch at noon, but Suxin interrupted him.

"Fine, do as you see fit," Chen Ziqian lifted his head, disdainfully said, clearly he was too enthusiastic, dealing with such a stubborn and overbearing woman, what was there for him to worry about?

He turned and left.

"Geez, this guy, he was just fine a moment ago, and then suddenly he turned his back on me."

After Chen Ziqian left, Suxin realized she had brought almost nothing with her, no phone, no wallet, and she was almost freaking out.

What freaked her out wasn't lying in the hospital bored, but that her phone was at home. What if her company called her for an interview and nobody answered?

Chen Ziqian had unconsciously come to the hospital again after getting off work in the afternoon, Wang Mingfei came to pick him up, but he said he had things to do and asked Mingfei to leave first.

Looking at the empty hospital room, Chen Ziqian only felt his head buzzing.

"Nurse, where is the patient inside?" Chen Ziqian grabbed a passing nurse and asked.

"Oh, the patient in 302, she insisted on being discharged after her IV this noon, there was really no way, so we let her sign the discharge paperwork herself."

Listening to this, Chen Ziqian's face couldn't help but darken, what kind of woman was this? Was she being reckless with her life?

When Chen Ziqian entered the door, Suxin was sitting on the sofa, surfing the internet and jotting something down with a pen.

"You were discharged so quickly?" Chen Ziqian asked casually, he would never tell her he came from the hospital.

"Yeah, I felt better, no problems, so I decided to check out," Suxin glanced at Chen Ziqian and bent down to write with her pen. Good thing she was foresighted, demanded to leave right after her IV in the noon, and just as she got home, her phone rang, a law firm was inviting her to an interview.

Chen Ziqian said as he took off his coat, he came home early and didn't want to go out later, dinner had to be sorted.

Opening the fridge, there were only some eggs and tomatoes left, along with some dry noodles.

"What will you have for dinner?"

Chen Ziqian asked, but didn't wait for an answer. Turning around, he saw Suxin intently staring at the computer.

"Hey, Auntie, I'm asking you, what will you have for dinner?"

"Hm? Are you talking to me?" Suxin raised her head from the computer looking at Chen Ziqian.

"Is there a third person here aside from you and me?"

"I haven't eaten, maybe later," saying so, Suxin lowered her head again.

"Then what do you plan to have later?"

"Just boil some noodles."

"Okay, prepare an extra portion for me as well," Chen Ziqian casually included this sentence, which was perfect since dinner was all sorted.

"Hey, I'm the patient here, you really have the heart to exploit me?" Suxin heard this and immediately raised her head again, why did this pretty boy always have to exploit her labor?
