He Jiarui's heart thumped unconsciously, wondering what grandpa meant by calling.

Yuan Zheng picked up and called "Grandpa."

He Jiarui couldn't hear clearly what Mr. He was saying inside, so she just watched Yuan Zheng nod in agreement with "Yeah," and then said, "I will take good care of Ruirui" before hanging up the phone.

"What did my grandfather say?" she asked eagerly.

Yuan Zheng looked at her for a moment and said, "I didn't say anything. He was quite happy that we both were on trending searches. He also told us to pay attention to safety in country y and to leave early and come back early."

She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, I thought he was going to ask you why you were on the trending search!"

Yuan Zheng smiled, "That's what you would think about the two families. Although I don't know who found these paparazzi and what the purpose of taking pictures of us is, I can tell that both families are very happy. The comments below are also very exciting, and they can be regarded as coaxing the elders by mistake."

He Jiarui didn't want to read the comments and just said to him: "Then please pay attention to safety in country y."

"Ruirui, I'm afraid you have to go with me." Yuan Zheng said, "Now that we are exposed to the public eye, there is no guarantee that paparazzi will not follow us in the future."

He Jiarui was stunned. He had to say that it was normal for him to have such concerns.

If her grandfather really knew that she was staying in the imperial capital, she would really have no chance if she wanted to come back in the future.

"So, is there no other way?" she asked reluctantly.

Yuan Zheng said: "Judging from the current situation, the two of us can only be tied together during the past few days. Otherwise, if we are not careful and grandpa finds out, you can imagine the consequences."

He Jiarui was silent for a long time, and then asked in a calm voice: "Yuan Zheng, did you find this paparazzi? Are you shouting "Catch the thief?"

She didn't look up at him when she asked. After asking, she waited for a moment but didn't hear his response. Then she looked up at him in confusion, and saw that his jawline was tight and his eyes were wide open, looking forbearing. .

"Don't be angry, I just asked what was on my mind." She explained.

Yuan Zheng took a deep breath and said, "I'm thinking, if it were someone else sitting in front of you right now, would you ask so 'frankly'?"

"I don't know how." He Jiarui said honestly, "Even if I think so, I might not ask."

"So, you don't care about my feelings at all, do you?"

He Jiarui bit her lower lip, "To say it is absolutely true, it seems not."

"Just bully me, and this is my retribution."

Yuan Zheng didn't want to ask any more questions, so he answered her previous question and said, "I didn't find the paparazzi. I'm too busy with the company's affairs every day, so I don't have the time to think about all this nonsense."

"However, I will ask someone to investigate this matter. I believe we will know who it is soon."

He Jiarui couldn't tell in her heart right now. She couldn't tell whether Yuan Zheng really wanted to help her or was just pretending. In fact, the hot search was his real purpose.

"But, I want to go to country Y with you and I don't have my passport with me. What should I do?" she asked.

Yuan Zheng said: "What can I do? Ask someone to send it to you and change the ticket."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and fiddled with his phone, as if ordering someone to do it quickly, and said, "Tell the second brother."

"I'll take you to the hospital now, but I have to be here all the time. You and Fu Chengyu should say hello first."

He Jiarui frowned and let out a dull "hmm" for a long time.

The two came out of the restaurant, and Yuan Zheng took her hand and got into the car. He Jiarui didn't struggle, firstly because she couldn't get away, and secondly because she knew that he was doing this to show the paparazzi.

After getting in the car, the driver drove towards the hospital.

Near the hospital, He Jiarui bought flowers and originally wanted to buy some fruit, but Yuan Zheng reminded him that he had stomach bleeding and could not eat anything. When she thought so, she stopped buying it.

All the way to the ward, there was a person who looked like a nurse accompanying him. Fu Chengyu was on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, his face pale, his lips bloodless, and a sling bottle on the back of his hand.

"Fu Chengyu." He Jiarui's eyes were red and he sat beside the hospital bed.

Yuan Zheng gave the flowers to the nurse, and then sat on the sofa in the back, crossing his legs and playing with his mobile phone with his head down.

When Fu Chengyu heard the voice, he slowly opened his eyes. When he saw He Jiarui, his eyes lit up with surprise. He smiled at the corner of his mouth and said feebly: "You're here."

"Yes." He Jiarui's distressed tears finally fell. She held Fu Chengyu's hand that had not been injected and asked with a choked voice, "Does it still hurt?"

Fu Chengyu smiled slowly, "It was still hurting at first, but when I saw you, it stopped hurting all of a sudden."

He wanted to raise his hand and touch her face, but after not seeing her for a few days, he missed her so much. Now that he was ill, he wanted to have close contact with her even more.

He Jiarui took his hand and gently placed it on her cheek. He wiped away her tears with his fingers and said to her, "Why are you crying? It's not that serious."

He Jiarui choked, nodded, and gently rubbed his hand back and forth on his face.

"Ahem." Yuan Zheng lowered his head, put his fist to his mouth and coughed twice.

He Jiarui looked back at him and slowly put down Fu Chengyu's hand.

Fu Chengyu had already seen Yuan Zheng when he opened his eyes. Hearing him cough, he looked at He Jiarui and asked, "Mr. Yuan is here too?"

He Jiarui asked him back: "You haven't looked at your phone all this time, have you? That's right. How can you be in the mood to look at your phone when you feel so uncomfortable?"

She said: "Because something happened, he had to come with me."

Fu Chengyu didn't ask what the situation was, and it was not convenient to look at Yuan Zheng. He just said lightly: "Mr. Yuan, thank you for coming to see me."

Yuan Zheng stood up and walked over, stood beside the hospital bed, looked at him and said, "Mr. Fu, you're welcome. You can take good care of yourself and you will get better soon."

In any case, if the Yuan family didn't have Fu Chengyu to bridge the gap, they might not be where they are now. For this reason, Yuan Zheng would not add insult to injury and say some weird words.

The matter between him and Ruirui is another matter. Public is public, private is private. This is what my second brother taught me.

He looked at He Jiarui again: "I'm going out to smoke a cigarette. When I get back, we should leave."

Watching Yuan Zheng go out, Fu Chengyu asked teasingly: "You two are getting along well recently?"

He Jiarui smiled at him, "I'm sick, and you still have to worry about these things. Why don't you ask me about all the time you finally managed to squeeze out?"

"Are you scared?" Fu Chengyu's eyes were full of guilt, "Ruirui, I miss you very much."

He Jiarui's heart was beating loudly and she said reservedly: "We video chat almost every day. Do you still miss it?"

"How can you see a real person in the video?" Fu Chengyu grabbed her hand, "The man I really want to stand by your side is me."
