Chapter 84 - Manla was hospitalized

“Auntie, I don’t know whether the dishes suit your taste or not. So, I just bought some common dishes from a restaurant.”

Chen Qian came back in a hurry.

Holding many bags of dishes, Chen Qian took care of Li Yunhong very well, which made Li Yunhong smile all the time.

“Oh. You are really nice.”

“Well. I would love to do that.” Chen Qian wiped the sweat and showed a harmless smile which pleased Li Yunhong very much.

“Don’t worry. I won’t allow Gu Yan to marry Mo Yichen. I have talked with your mother just now.”

Chen Qian surprised for Li Yunhong’s attitude, but she pretended to be shy, “Auntie, we couldn’t force Yichen to marry me. He will be averse.”

“He dares not disagree with that. You are my daughter-in-law in my heart. Nobody dares to disagree with me. I will persuade him.”

“It seemed that Li Yunhong was really dislike Gu Yan. That’s great.” Chen Qian thought.

Then she gave Li Yunhong a bowl of soup quietly.

In front of Li Yunhong, Chen Qian always pretended to be a good daughter-in-law. Now Li Yunhong became the winning card of Chen Qian.

In the studio

Gu Yan was busy with drawing the design.

“Sister Gu Yan, it’s noon. Aren’t you going to have lunch?” Yuan Xi said while picking off her employee ID card.

“Well, the completion time for this design is limited. I have to hurry up.”

Gu Yan replied without looking at Yuan Xi, and just focused on her design.

“Is this design for a customer of President Mo?” Yuan Xi asked.

Seeing that Gu Yan glanced at her, she understood immediately and didn’t finish that sentence.

“I will go out to have lunch. Bye.”

Yuan Xi sneaked away immediately.

Only Gu Yan was busy in the studio.

At this time, the familiar phone ringing sounded.

Gu Yan looked for her mobile phone in a pile of abandoned designs, and Manla’s name appeared on the screen.

Gu Yan smiled, and picked up the phone.

“Hello? Big boss, what are you doing recently? You even don’t have time to chat with me.”

Gu Yan asked while putting her phone between shoulder and neck so that she could do something else.

“I...Ahem! Ahem!”

Manla had not finished a sentence yet but coughed violently.

“What happened to you?”

Hearing Manla’s hoarse voice and indistinct words due to the nasal sound, Gu Yan worried about her.

She stopped working.

“I accompanied a customer to drink yesterday and had gastrorrhagia. I am hospitalized now. Are you free now? Help me in getting some clean clothes from my house.” Manla said weakly.

Thinking that Manla had never been so weak, Gu Yan frowned. She began to wear a coat and complained.

“Why cannot you take care of yourself? I had told you that do not drink too much. Is the customer so important? I’m going to your home now.”

Worrying about Manla all the way, Gu Yan drove faster than usual.

She took the clothes from Manla’s house and brought some millet porridge since Manla could not eat anything else now.

In a short while, Gu Yan arrived at the hospital. She hurried to the ward that Manla told her.

Just as she went into the ward, Gu Yan saw Manla lying on the bed piteously.

Gu Yan had never seen Manla being like this. No matter how tired Manla was, she would dress herself up. However, now Manla’s hair was scattered on her face, but she had no energy to smooth it.

Manla’s clothes were covered with vomit, and her makeup on the face had already messed up.

“I brought some millet porridge. The doctor told me that you can eat liquid food.” Gu Yan said in an angry tone and didn’t look at Manla.

Manla could feel Gu Yan’s anger, so she held Gu Yan’s hands.

“Hey. This is an exception. It won’t happen again.”

Manla forced a smile to reassure Gu Yan.

“Do you think I will believe you?” Gu Yan cooled the porridge, handed it to Manla, and said seriously.

Manla didn’t say anything like a child who made a mistake, and ate the porridge obediently.

“Take a break later. I’ll change your clothes. Do not wear this kind of clothes anymore. I really don’t know what purposes that your customers have. They should get you drunk like this.” Gu Yan complained.

“But they couldn’t equal me in drinking. I fell down after I came to the hospital. I successfully signed the contract with them. Moreover, drinking is a very important means of signing a contract.”

Manla watched Gu Yan’s reaction cautiously.

“Well, I don’t understand that. I just hope that you will not drink alcohol. Or, don’t drink too much. As for making money, my studio has gradually improved. Not as good as you, but I can still support you!”

Gu Yan said earnestly, which made Manla laugh. Manla nodded with satisfaction, “Well, you’ve grown up. It seems that your studio has made a big progress.”

Then they chatted with each other.

“How is it going with Mo Yichen recently? Does he still ask you about cohabitation?” Manla asked.

...

When it came to Mo Yichen, Gu Yan obviously paused, and then she returned to normal quickly.

“No. Chen Qian met me a few days ago. She tried to scare me, but I didn’t let her succeed. After knowing this, Mo Yichen made an apology to me for what Chen Qian did. That’s it.”

Gu Yan said calmly without any overreaction. It seemed that what she said had nothing to do with her.

“What? Chen Qian met with you? What did she do to you?”

Manla asked nervously. Her action made her stomach twitched, so she gasped painfully.

“We slapped each other. None of us got any advantage.” Gu Yan replied.

“What? You two slapped each other? Beyond my imagination, Gu Yan. Now you are really tough. Good! I can rest assured.” Manla nodded.

“Don’t you like Mo Yichen? After so many days passed, you should know the answer in your heart.” Manla continued.

But Gu Yan stood up before Manla asked more.

“Well, I will go out and get hot water. Don’t worry about me. Have a good rest since you live in the hospital these days. Put your work aside for a while.”

Gu Yan tucked the quilt for Manla and left the ward with a thermos.

Looking at Gu Yan’s back, Manla thought Gu Yan was gradually similar to her. She smiled and took a deep breath.
