Chapter 926: Chapter 922:

Yu Sangwan secretly brought Lu Jinxuan back to Guan Chao.

This news was kept from everyone... To the outside world, everyone still thought His Excellency the President remained in Jiangmen.

They rushed back overnight and settled in.

Lu Jinxuan was lying on the bed, already awake...

Yu Sangwan was holding a towel, wiping his face. Seeing him wake up, she smiled. "You’re awake?"

Lu Jinxuan blinked, his eyes misty.

At one look, Yu Sangwan couldn’t help her eyes turning red. What kind of man was Jinxuan? When had she ever seen him like this!

Yu Sangwan gently smoothed his temples. "It’s going to be okay. I’m here, I’ll definitely find a way. You won’t just be lying here forever!"

As she said this, she still couldn’t hold back her tears.

"..." Lu Jinxuan slowly stretched out his hand, and like a baby, wrapped his fingers around hers.

"..."

Yu Sangwan froze, that tightening pain in her heart almost made her faint!

Crying, Yu Sangwan said, "You fool, why didn’t you say anything? Why did you grit your teeth and push yourself to do so much? Only now you think of me? I don’t know if I’m that capable, Jinxuan, I’m so scared, scared I won’t be able to help you."

Lu Jinxuan blinked, tears hanging at the corners of his eyes.

"Don’t be sad."

Yu Sangwan cupped his cheeks and kissed the corner of his eye.

"No matter how hard it gets, we’ll definitely hold on! We’ll find a way!"

That night, Yu Sangwan kept watch as Lu Jinxuan fell into a peaceful sleep.

In the morning when she got up, Lu Jinxuan was still asleep.

When Yu Sangwan went outside, Ji Qing was already there.

"Madam." Ji Qing bowed.

There were dark shadows under Yu Sangwan’s eyes; she nodded. "There’s no better treatment plan for now, so... I’ll still have to trouble you."

"Yes." Ji Qing bowed. "I will of course do my best."

Yu Sangwan looked at her. "You don’t know of any new developments in this area? We still have to find a way..."

"Yes, I’ve been keeping an eye on it as well..."

As they spoke outside, a sudden commotion came from inside.

"Ugh... cough cough..."

Yu Sangwan’s heart seized. "Jinxuan!"

She immediately turned and rushed in...

It turned out Lu Jinxuan had woken up... The caregiver was feeding him milk, but somehow he’d choked!

Lu Jinxuan’s complexion was awful, his breathing strained... he looked to be in great distress.

"Jinxuan!" Yu Sangwan rushed forward, deftly pushing the caregiver aside. She didn’t look like a woman heavy with child at all.

"What happened?"

Yu Sangwan held Lu Jinxuan; he seemed to have his breathing completely blocked!

Ji Qing saw this. "Madam, I’ll go call the doctor!"

"Mm..."

Yu Sangwan couldn’t wait; she immediately lowered her head and pressed her mouth to Lu Jinxuan’s.

Ji Qing and the caregiver were both stunned...

Yu Sangwan used her mouth to suck out the stuff that was blocking his airway!

"Pfft..."

Yu Sangwan took in a mouthful, then spat it out; the caregiver quickly brought a bucket to catch it.

Very soon, Lu Jinxuan’s breathing eased, and his complexion improved a lot.

"It’s okay now." Yu Sangwan’s hand was tightly gripped in his; in both their eyes there was a flushed, wet redness.

Yu Sangwan knew that Jinxuan just couldn’t speak or express himself—he was actually fully aware of everything. So no one felt this more wretchedly than he did! Not just psychologically, but physically too. How was a man as proud and fastidious as he supposed to accept becoming like this?

Her heart clenched. Jinxuan had to get better!

...

Downstairs, Le Zhengsheng had come to visit.

In just two days, Yu Sangwan had grown noticeably thinner.

"Something’s happened?" Seeing her, Le Zhengsheng didn’t need to ask much; he could already guess.

Yu Sangwan would never hide things from him. She looked at Le Zhengsheng, brows knitting. "What about you? What’s wrong with you now?"

Le Zhengsheng’s lips curved in a forced smile. "There was something, but... it’s already over."

"Over?" Yu Sangwan frowned. She’d already heard a bit about what was going on between him and Gu Xiaoning.

She shook her head. "How is this supposed to just ’be over’? Are you really going to get a divorce?"

"What else?" Le Zhengsheng shook his head with a smile. "I don’t have any other choice. A bird that’s already flown away—if you force it back and lock it in a cage, what’s the point?"

To someone who doesn’t love him, wouldn’t being by his side just be a prison?

Yu Sangwan couldn’t believe it. "I don’t understand, Gu Xiaoning isn’t that kind of person..."

"Heh." Le Zhengsheng let out a dry laugh. "I never said she was bad—she’s just... too young. When she got together with me, she was probably just acting on a whim."

"On a whim?" Yu Sangwan couldn’t accept that characterization; she shook her head. "Gu Xiaoning isn’t as childish as you think..."

Le Zhengsheng finally dropped his smile, a defeated look showing on his face. "Can we not talk about this? Let’s just stop here with that topic."

Yu Sangwan paused, sensing Le Zhengsheng’s mood. She nodded. "Okay. Then... what about your child?"

The child... Le Zhengsheng’s expression turned desolate. "We’ll see. If she gives birth and is willing to raise the baby, then she’ll raise it. If she’s not willing, I’ll naturally take the child back."

Just like that?

It was clear that Le Zhengsheng still had feelings for Gu Xiaoning, so he didn’t want to make things difficult for her over the child.

But... Yu Sangwan’s brows furrowed tightly as she thought of Le Zhengpeng... The Lezheng Family had only Le Zhengsheng left. They’d agreed to the marriage in the first place because Gu Xiaoning was pregnant. There was no way Le Zhengpeng would give up this child!

When the time came, would there be another "war"?

Le Zhengsheng glanced upstairs. "And him—what are you planning to do? Can this be kept under wraps? The Cabinet isn’t a bunch of pushovers..."

Yu Sangwan knitted her brows. "I know, but... right now besides hiding it, I can’t think of any better way. This is Jinxuan’s career; I can’t let him step down under these circumstances... He’s clear-headed; it’s not like he doesn’t understand!"

"Sigh."

Le Zhengsheng sighed and patted her shoulder. "I’ll do my best to help you."

As a friend, that was all the help he could offer for now.

"Thank you, Sheng."

After seeing Le Zhengsheng out, Yu Sangwan went back to the bedroom.

The caregiver was just coming out, looking troubled. "Madam, it’s so good you’re here... His Excellency the President is throwing a tantrum, and we don’t know what to do!"

"Oh?"

Yu Sangwan was taken aback and hurried inside.

Lu Jinxuan couldn’t move, but his breathing was rough; clearly he’d been struggling just now.

"Jinxuan." Yu Sangwan quickly went forward and took his hand. "I’m here... You got anxious because you couldn’t see me, didn’t you?"

Lu Jinxuan couldn’t speak, but he looked extremely agitated.

Yu Sangwan watched him and quickly guessed what he meant; she smiled. "Heh... I get it—you need to use the bathroom, right?"

Lu Jinxuan’s face flushed red—an admission.

"Okay, I understand." Yu Sangwan smiled gently. "You’re really good... That’s exactly what you should do. For things like this, you wait for me to come. Next time I’ll tell them clearly that I’ll handle all your needs myself and keep them away from you, okay?"

Lu Jinxuan pressed his lips together and smiled.
