"My affairs are none of your concern. Help me go through the discharge procedures."
Hearing this, Lu Yuan frowned. She originally wanted to say something, but obediently chose to help him with the procedures instead. Since it was Lu Ziqian's own request, there was no need to dissuade him.
After Lu Yuan left, he took out his phone from under the pillow, dialed a familiar number, and then put it to his ear.
An elderly man's voice came from the other end of the phone. "It's Second Master Lu. What can I do for you?"
"Professor Zhou, I heard that you're good at hypnosis. Can you help someone retrieve their past memories?"
"Sure I can!" Although Zhou Sang didn't know who Lu Ziqian wanted to help retrieve memories for, as long as he could get closer to the Lu family, he would have a chance to see Shen Jianyi.
Hearing this, Lu Ziqian got quite excited. He discussed with the other party for a long time and didn't plan to meet in person for a detailed discussion until Lu Yuan finished the discharge procedures.
"Father, I've arranged a car. I'll take you home first."
Lu Ziqian nodded and casually asked, "What about you?"
"I still have some things to do at school." She replied calmly, "So I can't accompany you home, Father."
The other party didn't mind and simply agreed.
...
On the other side.
Lu Jinsheng had caught up with the woman standing at the hospital entrance. He grabbed her wrist and pulled it back, causing her to fall into his arms.
"What are you doing?" She tried to struggle, but she was no match for the man in front of her in terms of strength, so Shen Jianyi gave up.
However, there were so many people at the hospital entrance, and everyone was watching. Shen Jianyi felt extremely embarrassed. She coughed and deliberately lowered her voice, "Let's talk at home."
Seeing that she wasn't angry with him, Lu Jinsheng felt relieved.
When they got home that day, Shen Jianyi slumped on the sofa like a lump of clay and casually picked up the remote control to turn on the TV.
At this time, Sister Gu hurried over with a plate of fresh fruits.
"Madam, there's something... I'd like to discuss with you."
"Go ahead." Shen Jianyi didn't look up. She noticed that Lu Jinsheng had gone into the study.
Sister Gu rubbed her hands and got a bit closer, saying humbly, "I'd like to ask for three days off. I haven't taken any leave this year..."
Since she was in charge at home and almost all the maids listened to her, she hardly ever had any holidays. But she earned a good salary, so she had no complaints.
Now that she suddenly wanted to ask for leave, she really didn't know if the young mistress would agree.
Just as she was feeling extremely conflicted, Shen Jianyi casually nodded as if she didn't take this matter to heart at all.
"Okay. Come back as soon as possible."
Sister Gu immediately beamed with joy. The worried look on her face disappeared, and a happy smile gradually appeared on her face.
"Thank you, Madam. I'll definitely go and come back quickly!"
After saying that, she turned around and went upstairs to pack her luggage. In just a few minutes, she ran out again.
As soon as Sister Gu left, the maids in the house seemed to lose their backbone and were all absent - minded.
Shen Jianyi stretched and took out the medicine given by Fa Cai from her pocket. Then she opened the door of the study.
At this moment, the man was having a video conference, but she was completely unaware of it.
Thinking that Lu Jinsheng had been seriously injured to save her and had helped her get rid of all the obstacles along the way, Shen Jianyi felt a warm feeling in her heart.
Holding the medicine in her hand, her voice was much gentler than usual. "Husband, let me apply the medicine for you."
As soon as this awkward "husband" left her mouth, the man seemed to be petrified on the spot and didn't dare to move at all.
Since they got married, she had never called him like this before. He didn't know what was going on today. Could it be that she had suddenly had an epiphany?
Lu Jinsheng tilted his head, and the just - happened scene kept flashing through his mind. He covered his mouth with his hand and was secretly smiling.
"What's gotten into you today?" Even his voice carried a tone of suppressed laughter.
Shen Jianyi didn't realize at all that the man was having a video conference. She took two steps forward and naturally sat on his lap, slapping the medicine on the table.
"The medicine given by Fa Cai is more effective than the ones from the hospital."
Seeing that the man didn't move, it seemed that he really wanted her to help apply the medicine. Since she had already said that, she definitely couldn't go back on her word.
So, Shen Jianyi turned to twist open the medicine bottle on the table. When she looked up, she saw that the laptop screen was divided into nine sections, and there were nine different faces in each section.
Surprisingly, all of them had the same expression - both surprised and shocked, and they were holding back their laughter without making a sound. Each of them seemed to be paused.
Her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she immediately wanted to get up from the man's lap. But as soon as she made that move, a strange and powerful hand on her waist held her down.
"Where are you going?" Lu Jinsheng glanced at the video. "Close your eyes. Can't you see my wife is applying medicine for me?"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Everyone covered their eyes. Some even went to get an eye mask specially just to prove that they weren't peeping.
Shen Jianyi took a deep breath and still thought this wasn't appropriate. She gently pushed the man's shoulder with her hand. "Why didn't you tell me you were having a video conference?"
"You didn't ask."
Shen Jianyi: "..."
Sure enough, sometimes the look in one's eyes when wanting to kill someone can't be hidden at all.
The hand on her waist tightened a bit, as if urging her. The man lifted his chin. "Apply the medicine, wife──"
He did it on purpose, even dragging out the end of the word.
Although the people in the video conference couldn't see what was actually going on, they could hear the voices. It was estimated that everyone in the company had heard what they said.
Shen Jianyi clenched her fists. If it weren't for the fact that he was injured, she might not be applying medicine for him but teaching him a lesson instead.
She let out a low - pitched voice from her throat, which was inaudible in the video. "Lu Jinsheng, just you wait..."
The man didn't realize the danger at all and even replied with a playful smile, "Okay. Use the citrus - scented body wash tonight?"
Hearing this, Shen Jianyi felt a flush on her cheeks. She rarely showed such abnormal emotions. Maybe it was only in front of this man that she would show the normal range of human emotions.
About half an hour passed.
Shen Jianyi finally put down the medicine jar in her hand. It was really hard for her to look at the man calmly. "Okay. I'll leave now."
But the man didn't intend to let her go. His dark eyes stared intently at the woman, and he said to the people in the video, "Continue the meeting. You can go on."
When these people saw that their president was going to hold his wife while having a meeting, they were all dumbfounded.
