The CEO admires the strong? I have been able to breathe independently since I was a child

Chi Xiao's straight back seemed to suddenly break at this moment.

As for that, I have to compete with a patient for medicine.

??

so awkward.

Want to jump out of the car.

"That...I..."

Wang Yan put his entire weight on her, as if this was the only way to make her focus all her attention on him.

"It's okay. I've been taking medicine for so many years, so it won't matter if I skip a meal."

Then she would be relieved.

Li He held her hand, his face full of worry, but he didn't raise his head. He buried his head deeper, and his lips gently touched her slender white neck.

"He doesn't care about you at all. He drank the medicine by mistake and should have his stomach pumped in the hospital."

……right!

Chi Xiao said to the driver: "Brother! Go to the hospital!"

The bodyguard glanced at his young master and didn't dare to say anything.

Instead, Uncle Gu in the passenger seat replied, "Miss Chi, this is a tonic for physical weakness. It will do you no harm."

……That's good.

Li Heyouyou said, "No wonder you speak so weakly, it turns out you are physically weak."

Wang Yan snorted in his heart, but on the surface he remained dignified and polite, "Xiaoxiao, do you think I'm useless and can't even take care of myself?"

Without waiting for Chi Xiao to answer, he continued to speak: "When I come home from work all day and find no one at home, I feel so lonely."

Li He: "Ah...? Don't you have a live-in nanny?"

Wang Yan felt resentful.

Can you please get this bastard out of the car?

My head feels dizzy.

Chi Xiao felt as if green leaves were starting to sprout on his neck.

Is the growth of male green tea so fast these days?

She put her arms around their shoulders without hesitation and said in a low voice, "Do you two want to go to the dinner table or the ring?"

The two of them were silent.

Before long, a hint of warmth gradually appeared on Wang Yan's pale face, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and the tips of his ears began to turn pink.

He sat down, put his hands on his knees obediently, and didn't dare to look at Chi Xiao at all.

His body tensed, he slowly lowered his head and blinked rapidly. His deep eyes suddenly lost their smile and became inexplicably restrained.

Then, her cheeks suddenly turned red.

Li He still had his head buried in her neck, his eyes blurred. In a corner where no one could see, a dark color surged in his deep pupils, revealing undisguised delusions.

Chi Xiao raised his shoulders and said, "Get up."

Li He put away all his thoughts and raised his head angrily, "Oh."

The car arrived at the destination quickly.

Li Heli got out of the car swiftly, bent down and carried Chi Xiao out with one hand.

The moment his feet touched the ground, Chi Xiao was stunned.

She looked up and caught a glimpse of the coldness on his face that he had not yet retracted.

"..."

Why are you still angry?

Several people walked into the hotel.

The restaurant is not big, but there are many people coming and going.

As soon as the clerk saw Wang Yan, he immediately went up to him and led everyone upstairs.

In the box, Wang Qi was staring blankly at the message sent by Wang Yan on the screen of his mobile phone.

【Let’s have a meal together. 】

【The store you often went to when you were a child. 】

The reply to the previous message showed that the time was half a year ago, and she took a family reunion photo and sent it.

He replied: [Didn’t you go to your friend’s house?]

She replied: [Of course I have to eat New Year's Eve dinner with my family.]

then……

There's no after that.

Her relationship with her half-brother was indeed not very close.

It's just average.

He lives abroad and rarely returns to China. Even when he does, he spends most of his time in the hospital.

There was a time when she even thought he was going to die.

In the past few years, his health has gradually improved, and he has been frequently attending family gatherings and board meetings. It seems that he will soon take over the Wang family's business.

Eh... I was thinking of asking dad for some more shares...

Just as she was thinking, there was a knock on the door. The moment she saw Chi Xiao and Li He, she was stunned.

"Xiaoxiao, you guys..." She blinked and looked at Wang Yan with such shock that she couldn't speak.

Chi Xiao sat next to her naturally and said, "We met on the road and came here together."

Wang Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That's quite a coincidence."

Li He also sat next to Chi Xiao naturally and said lightly: "It's quite a coincidence."

If he didn't speak, the atmosphere would be like a reunion of old friends after a long separation; but once he opened his mouth, his tone was a bit sarcastic.

Wang Qi is not a naive person. She has been involved in her family's business since high school. She can tell at a glance whether it is a casual affair.

He glanced back and forth between the two men several times, making a bold guess in his mind.

There is always no shortage of suitors around beautiful women. It seems that these two have ulterior motives.

They're all acquaintances... It's not good to take advantage of them...

Wang Yan saw that all the seats were taken, so he could only sit next to Wang Qi.

Fortunately, it was a round table, otherwise my rival would have sat on the same side.

The waiter served the food quickly.

These are very common dishes, not as elaborately presented or as small in quantity as those in big restaurants. They are all authentic home-cooked dishes, with generous portions and good presentation.

After the dishes were served, no one spoke.

Embarrassment hung in the air.

Wang Qi coughed lightly and broke the silence first, "I didn't know that big brother and Xiaoxiao knew each other."

It would be better if you didn't say it, it gets weirder once you do.

How could two friends who have known each other for seven or eight years only now find out about the existence of each other’s brother?

Wang Yan looked at Chi Xiao and said, "Xiao Xiao and I have known each other since we were young."

"Oh..." Wang Qi responded, and suddenly his pupils trembled, "...Ah???"

what's the situation! ?

I've known her since childhood, why haven't I heard Xiaoxiao mention her?!

Chi Xiao looked calm and said, "I just found out about this not long ago."

“Oh…” Wang Qi looked at Chi Xiao in shock, “…Ah!?”

Wang Yan smiled frankly, "In a sense, Xiaoxiao and I can be considered childhood sweethearts."

"Mr. Wang grew up abroad and doesn't understand the true meaning of childhood sweethearts," Li He said calmly. "In your case, we can only say we met once."

"Oh?" Wang Yan's eyes were filled with a hint of disdain. "No matter how much Young Master Li explains, he can't deny the fact that Xiaoxiao and I have known each other since childhood."

"Didn't you hear Xiaoxiao say that she just found out a while ago?" Li He said with an indifferent expression, his eyes gradually becoming sharper. "A one-sided acquaintance means the two aren't familiar with each other."

He has a very sharp tongue.

Wang Yan clenched his hands on his legs instantly.

Li He smiled, put his hands on the table, and looked at Chi Xiao lovingly, "We... are friends for life and death."

When rivals meet, their words pierce the heart. Their verbal battles are filled with murderous intent.

However, our protagonist didn't care and drooled at the food on the table.

Wang Qi touched Chi Xiao's knee with his knee.

The latter raised his head, picked up the chopsticks with sparkling eyes, and asked, "Are we ready to eat?"

Li He immediately picked up some food for her and said, "You must be starving. Come and eat~~"

The ending tone is upturned, with a bit of coquettishness.

Wang Yan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tighter, making a crackling sound.

Wang Qi was so frightened that he quickly buried his head in his food, not daring to even look at his gaze.

Only Li He had a smile on his face and raised eyebrows, looking as if he didn't take the other person seriously.

Uncle Gu outside the box was smoking a cigarette, taking a long breath and shaking his head.

Hey... Young Master, you will definitely lose without Uncle Gu.

After sighing, the cigarette was crushed in the trash can.

"Knock, knock, knock." There was a knock on the door.

Uncle Gu pushed open the door and came in, holding a large bouquet of jasmine flowers in his hand.

The flowers in the bouquets were carefully selected, and each one was in full bloom. Soon, the whole room was filled with a light floral fragrance.

"Master, the flowers have arrived."

Wang Yan was stunned.

When Li He saw the flowers, he became defensive.

Chi Xiao and Wang Qi stopped eating and looked up.

Uncle Gu walked up to Chi Xiao and handed it over respectfully, "Young Master got up early today and specially picked the flowers that he had carefully cultivated in the yard. He kept saying that he wanted to give them to Miss Chi as an apology."

Chi Xiao frowned, "Apology?"

Uncle Gu's voice was distant. "Yes. Since our hasty separation eighteen years ago, the young master has always felt guilty about you. When I get better and go to the tumbler again, I won't be able to find you anymore..."

As he spoke, Uncle Gu's voice became sad, "Since then, the young master has been ill."

Chi Xiao was stunned.

Didn’t she say she had congenital heart disease? Why did she show up with other diseases?

"What's the disease?"

Uncle Gu wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes, "Lovesickness."
