Early the next morning, Shen Yao flew to the M Nation.
She didn’t notice that Lin Dong was on the same flight as her.
Lin Dong was told by Xu Cheng to go to the Mandala Lab and make some arrangements so Shen Yao could see ‘Xu Cheng.’ This was to make the madam feel at ease, and since Xu Cheng couldn’t leave Huaxia, he had to get someone else to pretend to be him.
Lin Dong was responsible for taking his place this time by pretending to be a patient in a coma.
He had checked in with Chekhov in advance, who would be responsible for wrapping his entire body with bandages like a mummy so that he could pretend to be unconscious.
After Shen Yao got off the plane, she called Lin Chuxue to tell her she had arrived safely, and Lin Chuxue gave her the address of the Mandala Lab.
Lin Chuxue asked Lin Dong for the Mandala Lab President Chekhov’s phone number and gave it to Shen Yao.
So Shen Yao was met by Chekhov when she arrived.
“Is Xu Cheng here?”
Chekhov nodded. “Come with me.”
He led Shen Yao to a laboratory room that was on the lowest underground level of the company.
After she pulled open the door, Shen Yao saw ‘Xu Cheng’, who was wrapped like a mummy lying on a hospital bed.
Shen Yao’s expression changed instantly.
“What’s going on? Why did he become like this?”
Shen Yao looked around at the instruments and the ECG was normal. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
“Is he alright?”
Chekhov said, “I don’t know yet. He has been in a coma for almost a month. His injuries are serious, and he needs to rely on his willpower to wake up on his own. Let’s go out if we’re finished here, he can’t be exposed.”
Shen Yao gritted her teeth and said, “Can you give me ten minutes?”
Chekhov pondered for a moment and then nodded. “Please hurry.”
Then he walked out.
Shen Yao walked back to ‘Xu Cheng’s’ hospital bed and suddenly held ‘Xu Cheng’s’ big hand with both hands.
Lin Dong was almost exposed when his body shook.
He thought to himself, Shoot, what is this woman going to do? Didn’t they say she’s just here to look at Xu Cheng on the madam’s behalf and everything’s good if he’s fine?
Shen Yao was very worried when she saw Xu Cheng in this condition. Her eyes were red as she stroked ‘Xu Cheng’s’ hair with one hand and sighed. “This is not like the Xu Cheng I know.”
Lin Dong’s heart skipped a beat thinking that she had figured it out.
Who knew that Shen Yao would continue to say, “No matter what opponent you encountered, you would never fall down. What happened?”
She said jokingly, “Your wife is looking all over the world for you and she couldn’t find you. It was the first time I saw her become like that, so you’d better get well quickly and go back to her.”
Shen Yao stroked her hair and sighed. “Or… you have to wake up, for me.”
Lin Dong’s body shook, Does she have a story with Master as well?
Master, it’s not that I want to know your secrets.
He peeked open his eyes and looked at Shen Yao, she looked clean and charming, full of youth.
She was a beauty!
Lin Dong sighed, Madam, did you know that your best friend likes your husband?
“Since we are friends, you should wake up for those people who are worried about you,” Shen Yao suddenly added on.
Lin Dong sighed out of relief after hearing that, clearly, he was the one who thought too much. He thought about how his Master looked, and concluded that it was likely that only the Madam, who grew up with him, would like him. Otherwise, someone as beautiful as Lin Chuxue or Shen Yao probably wouldn’t even consider him.
However, Shen Yao suddenly said, “In fact, I don’t just want to be friends with you, you know?”
Lin Dong: …
Shen Yao gritted her teeth and said, “I only dare to say these words to you when you are unconscious, so consider it as me venting my feelings. In fact, you also know that I like you, and I know you are deliberately pretending not to know how I feel. Sometimes I wonder if someone like you is also worthy of Little Xue. Yet the irony is that I still like you, and I can’t have you. This is like God pulling a prank on me, my requirement was already so low. I didn’t need you to be too handsome, as long as you could be my boyfriend, and you rejected me. I have been a flight attendant for so many years, and I’ve seen all kinds of men. I thought I would have high tastes, but when I realized I had feelings for you, I thought I must’ve become immune to the handsome men, so now I tend to desire the not so good-looking ones! But ‘feelings’ are something incomprehensible… I like you and you won’t even look at me. When I learned that you and Little Xue were married, my first thought was that Little Xue was blind to like you and even married you! Later I realized that I was the one who was blind! Little Xue was not blind; her vision was better than anyone, and was able to see more thoroughly than anyone else.”
After a bitter laugh, Shen Yao continued. “I heard that you and Little Xue’s marriage had problems, so I thought I could have a chance. But that night, when Little Xue came to me, it was then when I realized how much she cared about you, and I understood why she didn’t choose to divorce you when she was a high-level idol. It turned out that she was the one holding on.”
“I’ve said a lot and I actually wanted to tell you that you should cherish Little Xue, and wake up for her sake. Don’t let my blessings go to waste and be happy together, otherwise I will feel stupid that I let you go.”
Shen Yao finished, smiled, got up, and left the ward.
Lin Dong opened his eyes and let out a breath.
He immediately picked up his cell phone and called his master in Huaxia.
After the phone was answered, he said, “Master, things have been taken care of. She saw me and Chekhov told her everything she needed to know. Madam should believe that you’re still alive but just in a coma and can’t return to see her. “
Xu Cheng let out a sigh of relief. “This should be fine for now.”
Lin Dong: “Master, but this is not a solution. With Madam’s temper, I think even if it is dangerous to go abroad, she would still come to see you secretly. If she learns that you are unconscious and wrapped up like a mummy, she will feel heart broken for sure. I have a feeling that she will come abroad to see you, so you have to recover quickly to see her.”
Xu Cheng smiled bitterly. “One step at a time. If my face continues to be like this and treatment is hopeless for a long time, then tell her that I died. She should let go then.”
Lin Dong nodded since there was no cure for Xu Cheng’s albinism for a while.
At the end, he did not forget to ask a question, “Master, can I ask you a question?”
Xu Cheng: “Ask.”
Lin Dong: “If you and Madam were not childhood friends, and there was no such relationship, would you have liked any other woman?”
Xu Cheng: “Why do you ask that?”
Lin Dong: “Nothing, just asking because just now, a woman as beautiful as Madam took my hand and confessed to me, saying that she had a crush on me for a long time.”
Xu Cheng: “Then what are you waiting for? If you are a man, go after her.”
Lin Dong: “But I was pretending to be you in disguise, Master.”
Xu Cheng: “…”
