Chapter 60: Mitigation
Her clothes were found, but she was now faced with a bigger problem. How could she change her clothes?
Before this, Gong Siming was in a coma. It was still convenient for her to take a bath or change her clothes.
The bathroom window was transparent. From the outside, everything inside could be seen clearly.
And there wasn’t a dressing room. Moreover, the hotel room itself was spacious with a broad view.
With embarrassment, Si Wan stared at Gong Siming who was lying in bed and faltered out.
“President Gong, could you close your eyes? I’m going to change my clothes.”
At the sight of Si Wan’s blushing face, Gong Siming gave a teasing smile.
“Go ahead, we are a couple, what are you afraid of?”
“Ugh!”
Sure enough, Gong Siming was not cute at all when he was awake.
The clothes in her hand were crumpled into a mass.
“You’d better choose another piece.”
From the bed, Gong Siming fixed his gaze on the crumpled clothes and spoke nonchalantly.
To Si Wan, his words sounded frivolous.
Wrapped in the bedsheet, she grasped her clothes and walked towards the door.
“Where are you going?”
The tease on his face vanished instantly, replaced by curiosity.
Turning around, Si Wan smiled mischievously.
“Save your concern, Junior Master Gong, I’m gonna change my clothes in Xiaoyu’s room.”
Gong Siming pulled a long face, seemingly fuming with rage.
“Stop!”
Having already reached the door, Si Wan halted but eventually opened the door.
“Ah!”
Following a scream, the door was slammed shut. Regardless of everything, Si Wan shouted and rushed towards Gong Siming.
“What’s wrong?”
Covering his wound, Gong Siming curled up. Scared by the scene, Si Wan burst into tears.
Ever since her childhood, she only cried so sadly when her parents passed.
Except for them, Gong Siming was the only person that she had ever shed tears for.
In another two months, they were supposed to separate and never entangle again.
But he suddenly appeared in her hotel room with a serious injury.
She was then told that his injury aggravated because of his attempts to see her sooner. This shook the determination of Si Wan, who had been repressing her feelings.
Why was she so weak, why would she be influenced by every move of Gong Siming, why was she so disappointing?
She cried more and more sadly, which confounded the tittering Gong Siming.
It seemed he had gone too far. Before this, no matter how bad Gong Siming treated Si Wan, she had never yielded and had always remained indifferent.
But now Si Wan flustered Gong Siming. Like being in a maze, he had lost his keen sense of direction.
He held Si Wan in his arms, gently stroking her smooth and aromatic hair.
“I’m fine, really, it was just that my wound hurt a little just now. It’s okay!” Explained Gong Siming.
She had never felt such a strong sense of security and gentleness, which made Si Wan even sadder.
She wanted to permanently hold on to such a feeling and wouldn’t let go.
However, it was not hers for the taking and infatuation.
All of a sudden, she struggled to free herself from Gong Siming’s arms, wiped her tears and restored her composure. Such composure was what Gong Siming hated the most, for there was a glimmer of indifference mixed within.
“Since President Gong is fine, I’ll call professional nurses to take care of you. Please excuse me for the disturbance.”
Hearing such an aloof and official statement from Si Wan, Gong Siming immediately turned sullen.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
“There aren’t any available rooms in the hotel.”
Gong Siming’s cold speech was filled with anger.
“Then I’ll stay with Xiaoyu.”
Turning around, Si Wan ignored the angry man, pulled on her coat, packed up her suitcase, pushed open the door and walked out.
In the room, the slam of the door echoed with Gong Siming’s heavy panting.
Busy selecting the promo photo, Xiaoyu ignored the knock on the door as she thought it was the troublesome Feng Qi again.
Following the knock, her cellphone rang on the table.
Grabbing her phone, she was surprised to see the call was from Si Wan.
As soon as the line was through, she heard a faint voice.
“Open the door.”
Then there came a thud of something falling to the floor.
She tossed her phone aside and hurried to the door.
The moment when she opened the door, she saw Si Wan lying outside. Pajamas under her gown were exposed.
Luckily, Si Wan was not heavy, and Xiaoyu was strong enough to carry her into the room.
With great care, she laid Si Wan in bed and tucked her in.
Undoubtedly, this woman fainted for hunger and lack of sleep.
She carried Si Wan’s luggage to her bedroom, ordered a meal, and then went back to the living room to work.
In less than an hour, Si Wan woke up.
With caution, she checked her pajamas and the ambiance. Slowly rubbing her dizzy head, she walked out.
In the living room, Xiaoyu was still working carefully on the sofa.
She walked gently to Xiaoyu, who then noticed her presence.
Instinctively, she raised her head and hurriedly stopped working at the sight of Si Wan sitting next to her.
“Director Si, you’re awake. I’ll heat some porridge for you.”
She got up, picked up the porridge from the cart and walked to a microwave oven in a corner.
“You haven’t eaten anything for quite some time, so greasy food won’t do you any good. Have some porridge first to replenish your energy.”
While heating the porridge, Xiaoyu explained with concern.
The solicitude from Xiaoyu warmed up Si Wan’s fragile heart.
She was still in a trance.
When Xiaoyu handed the porridge to her.
“I suspect you fainted for hypoglycemia, so I’ve added some sugar. It’s not too sweet, eat while it’s still warm!”
With a hearty smile, Si Wan took the porridge from Xiaoyu’s hands and started eating.
This was the most delicious porridge she ever had. It was cooked by Xiaoyu, her first female friend.
Xiaoyu cared about Si Wan, which was neither for her status nor interests.
“Director Si, did you quarrel with President Gong?”
Faced with this sudden question, Si Wan choked and coughed incessantly.
She just asked casually, and the question was not inappropriate. Why did Si Wan overreact?
Patting Si Wan on the back, Xiaoyu didn’t say more.
Having caught her breath, Si Wan looked at Xiaoyu with a smile.
“No, it’s just that regarding his condition, he needs professional medical staff, and my presence there would only impede his recovery.”
Replied she in an emotionless and rational tone.
“Oh, then stay with me, so that we can keep each other company.”
Before Si Wan could reply, she heard someone pounding on the door.
Exchanging a smile, Xiaoyu stood up to get the door.
“Hi, an order from the marshal, we’re here to pick up Mrs. Gong.”
Said two soldiers respectfully.
Turning back, Xiaoyu shot a glance at Si Wan, who was having her porridge on the sofa.
“Sorry, but Mrs. Gong is in poor health and unable to take care of your marshal.”
Then, Xiaoyu tried to close the door.
The two soldiers reached out to hold the door and spoke in a serious tone.
“Mrs. Gong should go back with us.”
