Chasing My Husband! The "Crown Prince" of the Beijing Circle Is Wildly Unruly! - Chapter 56

The anger in Lu Jingze’s eyes was gradually veiled by moisture.

He couldn’t bear to blame him, so he held the person tightly in his embrace.

He was also afraid that Wang Xinghe would realize that he already knew about his medical history and past.

He worried that Wang Xinghe would misunderstand that he was only treating him this way out of sympathy.

Therefore, he couldn’t openly address his condition; he could only comfort him little by little.

He needed to gradually pull him out of the self-imposed, suffocating mire.

“Even though your sister treats you like that, are you still unwilling to resist, unwilling to fight back, unwilling to say a single word that might hurt her?”

Wang Xinghe craved the warmth of his chest.

He leaned in gently: “My being alive is already atonement.”

“If only I had listened to my sister and advised Mom and Dad not to drive back that year, even though my sister had already booked the plane tickets…”

“It was me. I thought it didn’t matter. I thought I could drive back with them when we left.”

“It was a single misjudgment by me, my stubbornness, my selfishness, my refusal to heed advice. It’s… my fault.”

Wang Xinghe never blamed Wang Mingyue, because if he had only listened to her advice back then.

None of this would have happened.

Everything would not have gone wrong.

Lu Jingze didn’t understand why the bond between children and parents would be so deep.

He also didn’t understand why a simple refusal to listen to advice would cause the siblings to treat each other worse than enemies.

“She considers that she lost parents who loved her dearly, but aren’t you in the same situation?”

“You are clearly the closest blood relatives left by your parents in this world. If they knew you were fighting like this in the afterlife, wouldn’t your parents be even sadder?” As Lu Jingze spoke, he simultaneously felt sorry for Wang Xinghe.

And then he started feeling sorry for himself.

His good parents wished he would die quickly.

If his good parents died in a car crash today, he would set off a hundred rows of fireworks tomorrow to celebrate publicly.

He wouldn’t shed a single tear, nor would he feel any so-called sadness.

“Xinghe, it’s over! Everything is in the past! If you keep dwelling, shutting down, and confining yourself to the past, have you considered that your parents would go crazy if they knew?”

“Just like me—watching you grow thinner and thinner, day by day, and not loving yourself, I’m about to go crazy!”

Wang Xinghe’s body stiffened.

Lu Jingze felt the person in his arms tense up and sighed: “It’s fine if you want to go back.”

“Get a good night’s rest tonight, and we’ll take a plane back tomorrow morning.” Lu Jingze picked the person up horizontally.

He placed him on the soft, large bed on the second floor of the villa.

He embraced him tightly: “Sleep. I’ll stay with you all the time.”

To Wang Xinghe’s astonishment, he actually fell asleep under Lu Jingze’s soothing presence.

In the morning, Lu Jingze smiled and greeted him: “Morning, Brother Xinghe~”

Wang Xinghe slept exceptionally well this time, and when he woke up, the pain in his body seemed to have lessened significantly.

He took a deep breath and scratched his head: “Morning.”

“Let’s go! Time to head back to the country~” Lu Jingze carefully helped Wang Xinghe get dressed.

Wang Xinghe uncomfortably pulled away: “I’ll do it myself.”

Lu Jingze didn’t press the matter, climbed off the bed, and began dressing himself.

The two of them sat down at the dining table for breakfast.

Lu Jingze personally carried the bowl of porridge and placed it in front of him: “We’ll leave once you finish the porridge.”

Wang Xinghe nodded, not refusing.

After packing their luggage and personal belongings, the two boarded the private jet again.

Lying on the deck chair, Wang Xinghe felt drowsy under the bright sunlight coming through the window.

Before long, he started nodding off.

After confirming the person was asleep, Lu Jingze dialed the doctor’s number.

“Hello, Director, according to your suggestion, I crushed the medicine into powder and put it in his food. He’s been somewhat sleepy these past few days, and his mood remains the same as before, without any major fluctuations.”

Lu Jingze paused for a moment and continued: “His sister seems to constantly blame him, accusing him of causing their parents’ deaths, and still hasn’t forgiven him. Because of this, he told me last night that he is alive for the sake of atonement…”

Lu Jingze grabbed a handful of his hair and looked at the person quietly curled up by the window.

Besides the frustration, he felt an urge to call his sister out and talk to her.

“Tsk…” The director on the other end pondered for a moment: “I think Xinghe’s sister’s state is also not right.”

“If possible, she should also go to the hospital, or you should find a psychological expert to talk to her in person discreetly to test her.”

“Perhaps, his sister is also sick.”

“Two patients tormenting each other will only push both to the edge of the cliff.”

At this, Lu Jingze was completely speechless.

“You must not stop Xinghe’s medication. Physical pain is far more than a person can endure. Since he just started taking the medicine, he has no tolerance yet, so naturally, he will sleep more. But don’t worry, there’s no major impact.”

“Also, try not to stimulate the patient. Healing is a slow process, like reeling silk from a cocoon; you must be patient.”

After the director finished his instructions, Lu Jingze thanked him: “Alright, thank you, Director.”

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jingze looked at the person curled up in the deck chair.

He walked over and gently stroked his cheek with his fingertip.

He pulled the blanket up over him.

The plane landed at the private airstrip back home.

Wang Xinghe slept for a long time this time.

When he woke up, the pain in his body seemed to have lessened even more, making Wang Xinghe feel that his entire stride was much lighter.

It was truly magical.

He glanced sideways at Lu Jingze. Lu Jingze’s eyes seemed to have been fixed on him, and their gazes met exactly when he looked over.

“Let’s go home.”

Wang Xinghe nodded: “Mm.”

At this moment, his body wasn’t hurting, his mind was light, and he even had a strange thought: Perhaps he could give Lu Jingze another chance.

Could he trust him one more time?

“CEO Lu, Mr. Wang.” He Zheng, dressed in a clean, sharp tailored suit and looking radiant, stepped forward to take the package from Lu Jingze’s hand.

Wang Xinghe had a good impression of He Zheng and nodded to him: “Secretary He.”

He Zheng smiled and bowed his head slightly, opened the rear car door, and gestured for them to enter.

Lu Jingze and Wang Xinghe sat in the back.

There was a dedicated driver in the front, and He Zheng sat in the passenger seat.

Lu Jingze looked at the cheerful He Zheng and remarked: “Secretary He seems to have great news; happiness is written all over your face.”

He Zheng’s face held a restrained smile, yet it was impossible to completely suppress: “CEO Lu, Mr. Wang, you flatter me. I simply won the heart of a beauty.”

Lu Jingze gave an approving nod, sounding a little envious: “Congratulations, Secretary He.”

Wang Xinghe was also happy for him: “Congratulations.”

He Zheng’s smile couldn’t be contained: “Thank you for the well wishes. When I have time, I’d like to treat you both to a meal. Please do me the honor of attending.”

Lu Jingze was very pleased. It was appropriate for Xinghe to attend, as they were all acquainted.

“Good, we’ll wait for you to arrange it.” Lu Jingze secretly tried to take Wang Xinghe’s hand: “Brother, we’ll go together then.”

Wang Xinghe felt it might not be appropriate for him to go.

Seeing this situation, He Zheng quickly made a seamless move to foster their relationship further: “Mr. Wang, I’m a workaholic and don’t have many friends. CEO Lu and you are the people I see most often in my daily life, so please do me the honor.”

Since He Zheng had put it that way, Wang Xinghe found it difficult to refuse the kind invitation.

He nodded: “Alright, I’ll definitely be there.”

Lu Jingze’s smile brightened when he saw Wang Xinghe agree without difficulty.

He subtly gave He Zheng a thumbs-up.

He Zheng adjusted his glasses and offered a proper smile.
