The next day.

Tang Bochuan stood at the door of Zhen Zhu’s room. He raised his hand to knock on the door, but then thought of something and stopped.

The other party had a nightmare last night and probably didn’t sleep well. If he asked her to have breakfast now, she might lose her temper again.

Tang Bochuan turned around and went downstairs. He only went back up after an hour.

However, no one answered after knocking on the door for a long time. Tang Bochuan pushed the door open and went in. The bed sheets were messy and there was no one there.

Tang Bochuan’s expression changed slightly. He almost thought that Zhen Zhu had escaped again.

Fortunately, he was rational enough. After a few seconds, his mind returned to normal and he immediately went to the room next door to search.

Sure enough, he saw Zhen Zhu on the sofa in her mother’s room.

She was wearing the same nightgown as last night and seemed to have fallen asleep on the sofa. She was still holding a photo frame tightly in her hand.

The woman in the photo frame looked very young and had similar facial features to her. She should be her mother.

“Miss Zhen Zhu,”

Tang Bochuan stood still and tried to wake Zhen Zhu up.

However, she didn’t respond.

He walked over and pulled open the curtains. He hesitated for a moment before he reached out and patted her shoulder. “Miss Zhen Zhu.”

There was still no response.

Even if she was asleep, she shouldn’t be sleeping so deeply.

His eyes fell on Zhen Zhu’s blushing face and he was slightly shocked. He reached out to touch her forehead and felt that her temperature was boiling.

Tang Bochuan had never seen someone with such a high temperature. Her body temperature was shockingly high.

He made a decision almost immediately. He quickly picked her up and strode downstairs.

It was as if he was holding a burning stove in his arms, but this stove was soft instead of hard.

In front of the car, the bodyguard tried to persuade him, “Brother Chuan, President Shen already said that Miss Zhen Zhu can’t leave this villa.”

The bodyguard was Tang Bochuan’s assistant, Qin Kai. He had spent time with Tang Bochuan these days and admired him quite a bit. The two of them had even developed a brother relationship. However, Qin Kai did not have a good impression of Zhen Zhu.

Qin Kai was afraid that Tang Bochuan would be tricked again. “What if this is another one of Miss Zhen Zhu’s tricks? Let’s just call the doctor over…”

“By the time the doctor comes, I’m afraid it will be too late.”

“I’ll take responsibility if there’s a problem,” Tang Bochuan said in a deep voice.

Although Qin Kai was unwilling, he still listened to Tang Bochuan. He started the car and drove to the nearest hospital at lightning speed.

It turned out that Tang Bochuan’s decision was right.

As they approached the hospital, Zhen Zhu suddenly had a high fever and convulsed. Fortunately, they arrived in time and her life was not in danger.

Tang Bochuan was afraid that something would happen to her, so he did not dare to relax and stayed by her side.

When she finally woke up, it was already evening.

She looked at the IV drip, then at Tang Bochuan, and closed her eyes again.

He had sent over a patient’s meal, but she refused to eat.

This situation continued until the afternoon of the next day.

“What do you want to do? Get a hunger strike and die?”

Tang Bochuan’s patience had finally reached its limit. He was so angry that his words were sharp. “I’d advise you to give up. This is a hospital. You should know that they have a lot of ways to make sure you can’t die even if you want to.”

Zhen Zhu finally opened her eyes slowly. After being sick and not eating for two days, she looked pale and weak, completely different from her usual self.

“I want to go to Imperial Palace Restaurant for dinner.”

She slowly opened her mouth and listed a bunch of dishes. “I want to eat all of these.”

Imperial Palace Restaurant was the most luxurious and well-known restaurant in the capital, and it didn’t have takeout, but if Zhen Zhu wanted to eat there, there was naturally a way.

“Sure.”

Tang Bochuan stood up with a cold face and ordered Qin Kai to go to the restaurant to buy the ingredients for the dishes without missing a word.

After hearing his instructions, Zhen Zhu said, “Tang Bochuan, what I said just now is that I want to go to Imperial Palace for a meal.”

She turned to the side. “If you bought ingredients and made those, then I’m not eating it.”

The blood vessels at Tang Bochuan’s temples were throbbing, and his eyes were practically on fire. He even had the thought of killing Zhen Zhu.

Suddenly, he did not want to serve this hard to please Big Missy anymore. Tang Bochuan asked Qin Kai to leave and sat down, “Then you won’t be eating those dishes.”

He would just waste time like this.

Even if she didn’t eat, the expensive nutrient solution would ensure her nutrition. She couldn’t even pretend to be sick, let alone die.

He wanted to see how long this Young Miss could hold on.

Tang Bochuan had been mentally and physically exhausted for the entire day. Now that Zhen Zhu was beyond his control, he simply leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest. Out of sight, out of mind.

It was very quiet in the ward, so quiet that only the light breathing of the two people could be heard.

He didn’t know how much time passed.

Tang Bochuan heard Zhen Zhu say softly, “When I was young, my mother would always take me to that restaurant for dinner. Zhen Yiping would be there too. I was still a happy child then. I was talkative, I loved to laugh, and I loved to throw tantrums. But when I needed to be good, I was very good.”

Tang Bochuan opened his eyes and looked at Zhen Zhu.

“Why are you looking at me like that? You don’t believe me?”

Zhen Zhu met Tang Bochuan’s eyes and smiled. “Didn’t you stay at my house for a while back then? Didn’t we hang out together? Think about it. I’m not lying.”

An image appeared in Tang Bochuan’s mind.

Many years ago, in the Zhen family’s garden, a little girl was giggling while holding a net and playing with butterflies in the flowers.

When she saw him, the little girl enthusiastically pulled him to play with her. Knowing that he was lost, she even considerately sent him to his place.

At that time, because his family had encountered difficulties, his parents were worried that he would be implicated and sent him to the Zhen family’s residence.

During his stay there for over a month, the little girl came to play with him almost every day.

At that time, she was indeed a little girl who loved to smile and throw tantrums.

However, she was still very obedient and sensible.

In fact, she was very kind.

When he left the Tang family, she heard from some gossiping servant that the Tang family had encountered a great problem.

She stuffed her pink little penguin plushie into his hands and consoled him with her childish voice, “Mommy said that difficulties are like mud pits. You’ll be fine once you cross them.”

He refused to take it, so she asked the driver to open the window and throw the plushie in. She then ran away with a smile.

However, such a kind, warm, lively, cute, angelic little girl…

How did she become a rebellious girl with tattoos, heavy makeup, who indulged in smoking, drinking, and hanging out with people in bars all day long? Moreover, she even broke up with her family, and even went so far as to lie and commit self-harm just to achieve her goals?

“After my mother divorced Zhen Yiping, I often went to that restaurant to eat alone with that chauffeur accompanying me.”

Zhen Zhu’s voice pulled Tang Bochuan back from his thoughts.

Due to her illness, her voice was weak and light. “But ever since I turned 14 and fell out with Zhen Yiping, I’ve never been to that place again.”

She looked at Tang Bochuan slowly. “The dishes I just told you are the ones my mother brought me to eat in the past. I really want to go now..”
