Chapter 386: Chapter 386 Heavenly Fortune (28)
Ding Dong—
Chu Wu looked toward the door with curiosity.
Chuzheng ate her al slowly and thodically, not even glancing up.
Ding Dong! Ding Dong!! Ding Dong Ding Dong!!!
The doorbell rang urgently, as if hurrying the owner to answer the door.
...
“Don’t co over, I’ll go check,” Chu Wu instructed Chuzheng.
Chuzheng nodded indifferently.
She was too lazy to move.
Chu Wu first peered outside through the peephole and, seeing a familiar face, opened the door: “What are you doing here?”
The young doctor smiled, “I ca to see how you’re doing, how have things been lately?”
Chu Wu blocked the doorway, “Pretty good.”
“Aren’t you going to invite in?” the young doctor gestured inside.
“It’s not convenient,” Chu Wu said, “Let’s talk outside.”
“Not convenient?” The young doctor suddenly sported a aningful smile, “Got a girlfriend now? Hey, don’t tell —I had always thought you’d be single for your whole life.”
“Rember how the school beauty confessed to you back in the day? You didn’t even give her a glance. Everyone at school said you were GAY…”
“Hold on, you don’t have a boyfriend now, do you?”
Chu Wu pushed the young doctor out and closed the door.
The young doctor felt like he had gotten to the truth.
If it really was about having a girlfriend, there’d be no need to act like this.
It must be a boyfriend!!
The young doctor grew increasingly horrified at the thought.
Chu Wu, completely oblivious to what the young doctor was thinking, took him to a nearby café.
“Why did you suddenly co to find …” Chu Wu suddenly paused, “How did you know I live here?”
After all, it was Chuzheng who had bought the house, and he had never told anyone.
“The last ti you asked to mail sothing for you, it was this address. I happened to be passing by and thought I’d stop to see you,” the young doctor shrugged, “Forgot?”
Chu Wu rembered that incident.
“Yeah, what do you need?”
“Can’t I look you up if it’s nothing important?” the young doctor said incredulously, “We’re friends, aren’t we? I wanted to check in on you, see how you’re doing… What have you been up to lately?”
His place, although not a villa, was in an expensive area…
Could he be kept by soone?
The thought involuntarily streaked through the young doctor’s mind as his gaze settled on Chu Wu’s face.
He thought… it was quite possible!!
“Working.”
The young doctor was quite surprised, “Where do you work?”
“Xinnan.”
The young doctor had heard of the prestigious reputation of Xinnan Hospital.
“That charitable Xinnan Hospital?”
Yes!
That’s how Xinnan Hospital was known outside.
Nowadays, many doctors and nurses were scrambling to get in.
So, who had initially been approached by Xinnan Hospital but declined due to a lack of prospects, were now regretting it so much that they were blue in the face.
“Mhm.”
The young doctor got excited, “Is the pay really that good there? I heard that nurses’ salaries are almost matching ours now.”
“Pretty much.”
“It’s that good? Then I’m going too,” the young doctor said, “You’re there, so you can get in, right?”
This person had helped him a lot when he was down on his luck.
Chu Wu nodded, “Whenever you want to co over is fine.”
The young doctor raised an eyebrow, obviously not expecting Chu Wu to say sothing like that.
You had to have so clout in the hospital to make such a statent.
Originally, he had only made an offhand remark, but now that Chu Wu had spoken, the young doctor mulled over resigning in his heart.
“By the way, have you watched the news recently?”
Chu Wu shook his head.
Since he had returned from the hospital, Chuzheng had been monopolizing his ti.
“Chuu Wu is in trouble.”
Chu Wu’s eyebrows lifted, “What happened?”
“His company is in trouble…” The young doctor rattlef off the recent developnts to Chu Wu in rapid succession.
After speaking, the young doctor sighed, “Do you think this could be his retribution?”
Chu Wu’s brow furrowed slightly.
He didn’t feel it was retribution, it felt more like… soone was deliberately targeting him.
How could all these coincidences happen one after another?
However, these matters had nothing to do with him.
Seeing that Chu Wu wasn’t very interested in discussing it, the young doctor tactfully changed the subject.
Chu Wu talked with the young doctor for half an hour, and when they parted, the young doctor hesitated, finally wishing him happiness sowhat awkwardly.
Chu Wu: “…”
He always felt sothing was off.
–
Chuu Wu’s company faced continuous blows, leading to a break in its capital chain.
The people around him, seeing the situation turning unfavorable, packed up their belongings and fled.
The once rising star in their circles beca soone everyone avoided.
When facing him, it was as if they were facing the plague.
“President Chuu, it’s not that I won’t help you, but if I do now, even I won’t be able to justify it on my side.”
“President Chuu, I’m really sorry, but as an individual, I don’t have the authority…”
“President Chuu, you should ask soone else…”
Those who previously clamored to collaborate with him now used various excuses to refuse him.
Chuu Wu was patching here and tearing there, and things that used to seem so easy had now beco extrely difficult.
The unluckier Chuu Wu beca, the stronger Chuzheng felt her own powers growing.
Occasionally, she could even retract her wings, though only for a short duration.
The original host was supposed to protect Chu Wu, but she mistook the person, as if the good luck that was ant for Chu Wu had been placed on Chuu Wu’s head.
Now, the good luck that had been on Chuu Wu’s head was gradually returning to her.
So, her powers were being restored…
She could finally retract those broken wings.
When Chuu Wu declared bankruptcy, Chuzheng would be able to completely retract her wings.
She would also be able to use the original host’s powers at will.
Chu Wu ca ho and didn’t see Chuzheng’s wings, which caused him slight surprise, “Can you retract them now?”
“Mhmm.”
Chu Wu pulled her down to sit on the couch, “Let see your back.”
When her wings were present, they looked quite normal, but he was worried that the wounds might still be there even after the wings were retracted.
“What’s there to look at?”
“Just let see, don’t worry,” Chu Wu said as he tugged at the hem of Chuzheng’s clothing, slightly lifting it to reveal her fair back.
Her back was smooth and even, without any scars.
Chu Wu’s fingers brushed over the place where the wound had been, the skin beneath his fingertips soft and smooth like white jade tofu.
Chu Wu let go of her clothing, embraced her from behind, rested his chin on Chuzheng’s shoulder, and gently kissed her neck.
“Would you leave ?”
“Where to?” With the Good Person Card right here, where could she go?
Chu Wu looked out at the sky.
Guardian Angels… should reside in heaven, shouldn’t they?
Chu Wu was actually quite worried about this, for she was not mortal and may not be able to be with him for a lifeti.
“Would you leave ?”
“I won’t.” You haven’t even acknowledged as a good person yet, so how could I leave you?
Always pondering over sothing, that Good Person Card.
“Then it’s settled,” Chu Wu held Chuzheng close, his voice deep, “You cannot leave until my death.”
“Alright.”
Chu Wu’s kisses grew bolder, and the two of them fell into the sunlight, their intertwined shadows cast upon the floor.
