Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2600: Chapter 404: More Frightened Than She Was

In the end, Feng Yize still washed the bowl before leaving.

At seven the next morning, Qinghuan received a message from Feng Yize.

[Qinghuan, open the door!]

"Qinghuan, good morning."

At the front door, Feng Yize greeted Qinghuan with a warm smile.

The tailored suit outlined his slender figure, the black color reducing his usual carefree demeanor by thirty percent, adding two parts restraint and maturity.

It gave Qinghuan a sense of illusion, as if his smile was different from usual.

"Did you buy breakfast?"

Catching a whiff of the aroma, Qinghuan lowered her head, looking at the bag in his hand.

Entering the living room, Feng Yize headed straight to the dining room, "I didn’t buy it, I made breakfast myself."

"..."

Qinghuan followed him, hearing this, her brows showed doubt, "You made it at home and brought it over?"

"Mm."

He opened the bag, revealing breakfast in a thermos box, not a takeout box.

Watching him take out breakfast one by one, smelling the aroma, an indescribable emotion swept over Qinghuan’s heart.

After Feng Yize set everything up, he turned to her, "Qinghuan, you can eat now."

Qinghuan replied with a smile, "Okay."

Breakfast, like last night’s dinner, was consumed with few words exchanged between the two.

After breakfast, Feng Yize gave Qinghuan a ride to the company.

Qinghuan followed Feng Yize all the way into the elevator and up to the office.

Many employees greeted Feng Yize, but their eyes flicked towards the beautiful and pure girl beside him.

The contract signing process wasn’t complex.

Originally, Feng Yize could have signed the contract with Qinghuan alone.

But Qinghuan, considering for him, suggested coming to the company to sign the contract.

She also brought her award-winning works and certificates from over the years.

After seeing Qinghuan’s works and certificates, those who initially wanted to oppose were left speechless.

Meanwhile, Feng Jinze and Feng Haoze, who had tried and failed to frame yesterday, appeared in the meeting room today, but without their usual smugness, looking like withered eggplants.

They only glared at Qinghuan with sinister and vicious eyes.

They had seen yesterday’s online photo album and knew it was Wen Qinghuan’s masterpiece.

After signing the contract, Qinghuan left the meeting room for the restroom, while Feng Yize returned to his office first.

The group messages rang continuously; it was Feng Yize posting about their contract signing.

Qinghuan replied a few words and informed everyone that she would be returning in a couple of days.

Opening the cubicle door, Qinghuan screamed in fright at the scene in front of her.

Her body trembled, and her face turned pale.

She watched the snake slithering toward her, retreating quickly while scanning the restroom but found nothing that could be used as a weapon.

Qinghuan’s heart sank deeper and deeper.

With trembling hands, she dialed Feng Yize’s number.

As the two snakes neared, Qinghuan’s legs went weak, her body nearly falling.

She held onto the cubicle door, and with the fear in her voice, she shouted into the phone, "Feng Yize, snake, snake...ah."

"Qinghuan."

From the other side of the line came the sound of a chair crashing into the document rack.

Qinghuan couldn’t hear...

Feng Yize rushed into the women’s restroom and saw Qinghuan passed out on the ground, her phone dropped beside her.

The two small but extremely venomous snakes were still in front of her.

Feng Yize’s handsome face changed as he shouted, "Qinghuan."

Then he charged in.

——

Qinghuan opened her eyes to a field of white.

"Qinghuan."

A middle-aged woman with a kind face called out to her from beside the hospital bed.

Qinghuan blinked, taking a few seconds to remember she was bitten by a snake in the restroom.

"Are you Feng Yize’s mother, Aunt Yan?"

Feng Yize resembled her a bit.

Yan Zhidong nodded, saying with concern, "Qinghuan, I’m sorry, it’s all because Yize didn’t protect you well, and you got hurt."

Qinghuan’s face was still quite pale.

Her greatest fear was snakes.

Still, she had encountered them and got bitten.

Recalling the scene made her heart tremble.

"This isn’t Feng Yize’s fault, Aunt, please don’t blame him." Despite being scared, Qinghuan still spoke up for Feng Yize.

"Where is he?"

Before Qinghuan fainted, she heard Feng Yize call out to her over the phone.

Without asking, she knew it must have been him who brought her to the hospital.

Now that his mother was here and he wasn’t, he must have gone out for something.

Yan Zhidong showed a warm smile, saying gently, "Yize just went out to take a call; he’ll be back soon."

In reality, he had gone to get an injection.

Qinghuan replied with an "Oh" and returned a polite smile to Yan Zhidong.

Thinking of her leg, her body stiffened; she carefully tried to move it under the blanket.

Instantly, a pain shot through.

"Qinghuan, the venom has been cleared, there’s nothing to fear, you’ll be alright."

Qinghuan had never encountered something so terrifying.

To claim not being scared would be a lie.

To prevent worrying Yan Zhidong, she nodded gently.

After a pause, she asked, "Aunt Yan, those two snakes..."

Hearing the tremor in her voice, Yan Zhidong took Qinghuan’s hand, "Those two snakes have been killed, and the person responsible for releasing them will definitely be found."

"At that moment I thought I was done for; if I wasn’t mistaken, those were two extremely venomous snakes."

"Yes, extremely venomous."

Yan Zhidong spoke softly.

Had it not been so, Yize wouldn’t have immediately sucked out the venom for Qinghuan.

If Yize hadn’t acted when he did, Qinghuan might have lost her leg.

The door of the hospital room pushed open from the outside, Feng Yize walked in, his romantic eyes lighting up upon seeing Qinghuan awake, and he quickened his pace.

"Qinghuan, you’re awake."

"Mm."

Qinghuan answered softly.

Feng Yize looked at Yan Zhidong beside the hospital bed, and the latter gave him a reassuring look, signaling she wouldn’t say more than he allowed.

"Yize, stay with Qinghuan, I’ll be back shortly."

Yan Zhidong’s gaze lingered on Feng Yize for a moment before she left.

Once she left, the room was left with only Feng Yize and Qinghuan.

Feng Yize had just called out, "Qinghuan."

Only to be interrupted by her, "Don’t you apologize to me again, you didn’t release the snakes, take the burden off yourself."

Feng Yize was stunned.

Looking into Qinghuan’s clear, water-like eyes, he slowly exhaled.

A gentle smile spread across his handsome face, "Okay, I won’t apologize, but I will find out who released the snakes."

"Aunt Yan said those two snakes were killed, did you kill them?"

"Mm."

Feng Yize nodded, "Don’t think about it anymore."

He understood her fear of snakes.

So when he heard her tearful voice over the phone, his heart tightened, he immediately jumped up, kicked the chair aside, and ran out of the office, rushing towards the restroom.

"Okay."

Feng Yize stood and poured a glass of water, then returned to the bedside, "Qinghuan."

"I’ll drink it myself."

Qinghuan took the glass.

Feng Yize smiled, not insisting.

While Qinghuan drank the water, his romantic eyes never blinked as he watched her.

Inside, he was even more frightened than she was.
