“I don’t care,” Xiao Yichen said.
“Yichen, you…” Luo Ziyan was taken aback and attempted to say something, but Luo Zishen cut off his words.
Luo Zishen handed the three agreements to Xiao Yichen and instructed, “Sign them.”
As Xiao Yichen took the agreements, Luo Zishen gave him a pen.
Despite his weakened state, Xiao Yichen’s mind remained clear. After signing, these agreements meant temporary management of the Eastern Empire by Zishen.
It was a necessary step in the current circumstances.
Xiao Yichen took up the pen and signed his name on the last page of the three agreements.
Upon recognizing this temporary arrangement, Luo Ziyan and You Luan remained silent as Xiao Yichen signed.
“You Luan, stamp it,” Luo Zishen instructed You Luan.
You Luan swiftly approached and stamped the three agreements before handing them to Mr. Luo.
Luo Zishen glanced at the documents and then turned his gaze to Xiao Yichen, maintaining his indifferent and cold tone.
“Yichen, don’t let the pain of your love for her turn into self-torment. It’s not worth it.
Moreover, Xiao Yichen is the CEO of the Eastern Empire. He is a legendary figure in the entire Ancheng City!”
With that, Luo Zishen left without looking back.
“Zishen…” Luo Ziyan called out, wanting to detain his brother. However, observing his brother’s retreating figure, he knew he wouldn’t stay.
Xiao Yichen absorbed Luo Zishen’s words, a nameless feeling surging within his heart.
Upon pressing one hand on the floor, Xiao Yichen attempted to stand up.
Luo Ziyan rushed forward to assist him.
But as he helped Xiao Yichen up, his vision darkened, and he collapsed.
“Yichen…”
“Mr. Xiao.”
Two days later, in the luxurious VIP ward of Mingyuan Private Hospital, Xiao Shengdong and Ning Yan stood by their son, accompanied by Xu Yanxi.
“Hmph, it must be Auntie Li’s fault for not cooking for Chen, making him faint from hunger,” Xu Yanxi exclaimed indignantly.
Ning Yan remained silent, her eyes red as she watched her son.
Her son had always been resilient. Regardless of the pressures or challenges he faced, he never faltered. However, at this moment…
Beside the bed, Xiao Shengdong looked at his son and felt that his usually unyielding son had a vulnerable side. He, too, had his weaknesses.
The door to the ward swung open, and Luo Zishen and Luo Ziyan entered.
At that moment, the person in the bed slowly opened their eyes.
“Yichen.”
“Chen…”
Xiao Yichen gazed at the figure beside him. His eyes briefly paused on Xu Yanxi before shifting to Luo Zishen.
“Zishen, how is Eastern Empire?” Xiao Yichen inquired, his tone steady and his complexion showing improvement.
“It’s still in a critical state,” Luo Zishen responded. Having obtained the authorization letter, he could manage some challenging matters. Yet, Xiao Yichen still needed to make decisions regarding the future.
Xiao Yichen shifted his gaze to Luo Ziyan and asked, “Can I be discharged now?”
Before Luo Ziyan could respond, Xu Yanxi interjected, “No, Chen is too weak. He still needs to rest for a few days.”
“Get lost…” Xiao Yichen shouted at Xu Yanxi.
Xu Yanxi trembled, frightened by Xiao Yichen’s outburst, and the others around her were equally alarmed.
Upon observing the situation, Luo Ziyan understood that Xiao Yichen had reverted to his former self.
“You can be discharged from the hospital, but you need to have an IV drip at home tonight.” Luo Ziyan acknowledged his urgency to leave the hospital..
