The Cold-hearted CEO's Unwanted Bride
Chapter 491: This is a private matter, completely unrelated to work.

Chapter 491: Chapter 491: This is a private matter, completely unrelated to work.

"The secretary office provided this, not for you to start a debate! Go to the HR department, get three months’ salary, and don’t come tomorrow."

The atmosphere in the secretary office froze.

Even Lu Xiang’s expression changed slightly, after all, she had just suggested Mr. Feng fire this secretary, and Mr. Feng appeared himself and did exactly that...

The remaining people subconsciously looked at Lu Xiang, wondering if Secretary Lu really had a close relationship with the workaholic boss?

"Secretary Lu, come to my office for a moment."

Lu Xiang stared at the crowd’s gaze and calmly entered the CEO office.

"Did Gu Jinyan ask for you about something?"

Lu Xiang pondered for a moment and then spoke up: "This is a private matter, unrelated to work."

Feng Chen looked up at her, his eyes held a bit of scrutiny, seemingly surprised that Lu Xiang would say such a thing.

If he didn’t misunderstand, Lu Xiang’s implication was that the private matter had nothing to do with work and he was meddling?

"Hmm."

Mr. Feng pondered for a moment and responded.

Lu Xiang was about to leave but then remembered the evening’s engagement. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Feng, I’m not feeling well. For tonight’s engagement, let Secretary Lin accompany you, I need to go to the hospital."

Feng Chen’s eyelids twitched: "Secretary Lu looks well."

"Mr. Feng is mistaken."

"Because of the gossip in the secretary office?" Mr. Feng asked again: "If so, Secretary Lu’s professional qualities are lacking; fleeing because of a few gossips doesn’t complete the job well."

"Go ahead, take a day and a half off, come back with a good mindset."

Lu Xiang was slightly stung by this, she pressed her lips together and nodded, then left the office.

Back at the secretary office, she picked up her bag and went straight home.

Mr. Feng’s work intensity was high, when Lu Xiang arrived home, she was exhausted and collapsed on the bed.

However, thinking of Gu Jinyan’s words, Lu Xiang still picked up her phone to call Qin Yan.

Lu Xiang was used to Qin Yan being in the country and forgot the time difference. As soon as the call was made, she instinctively wanted to hang up, but Qin Yan had already answered.

"Xiangxiang."

Lu Xiang was stunned for a moment before softly speaking: "Yanyan, did I disturb you?"

Qin Yan shook her head and smiled: "I was just about to sleep."

Lu Xiang glanced at her wristwatch and said softly: "Isn’t it after five in the morning in Los Angeles? You’re going to bed now?"

"Had some work, just finished, I can skip work."

Lu Xiang knew Qin Yan well and wouldn’t be fooled by her words: "How come I didn’t know a company in Los Angeles could be that demanding? Mr. Feng lets me sleep eight hours every day!"

"Yanyan, do you know..."

Do you know Bo Yunshen has blood cancer?

Lu Xiang couldn’t bring herself to ask this last sentence.

Yet Qin Yan seemed to understand, she laughed and asked back: "Know what? Know about Bo Yunshen?"

"Are you asking about Bo Yunshen marrying Lin Man, or his blood cancer?"

Lu Xiang was speechless: "Yanyan, how are you so aware of Bo Yunshen’s situation, do you still have feelings for him?"

Qin Yan was busy every day and had no time to care about Bo Yunshen’s affairs. She pressed her lips together and smiled faintly: "I don’t want to know, but can’t help it with someone constantly seeking attention in my place."

"Hmm?"

Qin Yan told the story of Lin Man going to Los Angeles several times to find her and then added: "Xiangxiang, I’ve got a mess of things here. The company just went through major changes, no time to care for others."

"Lin Man, that shameless person, dares to trouble you? You never took a penny from Bo Yunshen and let her have it easy. How thick-skinned can she be?"

Lu Xiang felt a wave of anger. She pressed her lips tightly together, truly at a loss for words to describe such a shameless woman.

Qin Yan took a sip of coffee, relaxed her body into the soft sofa, and chatted with Lu Xiang.

"About Bo Yunshen’s illness, do you have any thoughts? Would you donate bone marrow to him?"

Qin Yan initially didn’t speak, leaving Lu Xiang a bit anxious.

Though they were good friends, they didn’t attend the same high school, so Lu Xiang didn’t actually know much about the relationship between Bo Yunshen and Qin Yan.

The little she did know came from Qin Yan drunkenly muttering a couple of sentences during her bar outings.

She actually didn’t hope for any further ties between Bo Yunshen and Qin Yan, given that Yanyan had already suffered twice due to Bo Yunshen.

With Qin Yan not responding and Lu Xiang feeling tense, she suddenly asked: "Who asked you to inquire? Gu Jinyan?"

"Hmm."

Qin Yan pressed her lips together: "The Bo Family isn’t in a rush for this, yet Lin Man and Gu Jinyan seem quite concerned."

Lu Xiang’s mind sparked, indeed, the Bo Family hadn’t approached Qin Yan to donate marrow for Bo Yunshen.

Yet Lin Man was incredibly anxious.

"Yanyan, what do you mean by that? Are you really planning to donate bone marrow to Bo Yunshen?"

Qin Yan neither affirmed nor denied: "Xiangxiang, he isn’t in life-threatening condition right now, it’s too early to say anything."

...

Qin Shicheng and Qin Mingchuan failed to match with Bo Yunshen, becoming Lin Man’s thorn in her heart.

In the afternoon, Lin Man again went to the hospital, sat by the bed, and softly spoke: "Yunshen, how do you feel?"

"Alright."

"Yunshen, you’re still young..."

As soon as Lin Man began to speak, Bo Yunshen’s smiling expression transitioned from meaningful to obscure, leaving Lin Man feeling unable to continue.

"Afraid I’d die, and you’d be stuck in a widowed marriage?"

Lin Man’s face stiffened. She timidly pressed her lips and told herself Bo Yunshen’s sarcastic tone was just an illusion.

"Of course, I’m worried about you. I heard that having blood cancer causes immense pain, I just feel sorry for you."

"Yunshen, I don’t understand, knowing Qin Yan could successfully match with you, why wouldn’t you approach her to donate bone marrow?"

Bo Yunshen’s smile gradually cracked, turning into an impassive expression with his gaze fixed on Lin Man.

Lin Man felt cold sweat forming under his stare and clawed her fingernails into her palm.

"Yunshen?"

Bo Yunshen’s warmth faded, turning icy cold: "You don’t like her much, do you? If she offers bone marrow with conditions you can’t accept, what would you do?"

Lin Man’s forced smile seemed strained, she tightly pressed her lips and hollowly said: "Everything is secondary to your health."
