Chapter 180: Birthday Presen (1/2)

Cheng Xi didn’t dare tell her parents the truth, and just gave an ambiguous excuse, saying that something had come up. She quickly dropped her things and hurriedly ran to the hospital.

The department head and assistant head were both in the department head’s office. When Cheng Xi arrived, the head immediately handed her a pile of documents. “Look this over, and then prepare to defend yourself. People from the Bureau of Internal Affairs are going to be interviewing you soon.”

Cheng Xi opened the folder and found that the folder just contained a report that Cheng Xi herself had written regarding Lu Chenzhou’s mental state, as well as a few intimate pictures of her and Lu Chenzhou together.

The contents may have been simple, but its implied meaning struck Cheng Xi like a hammer.

As she looked through the files, she felt like her head had caved in, and she was so dazed that she didn’t even want to think about the possible consequences.

She had only ever made two copies of Lu Chenzhou’s diagnosis: one was held by the hospital, and the other was given to Lu Chenzhou. When she had copied out the diagnosis for Lu Chenzhou, she had made a mistake and scribbled out a word; that scribble was on this copy, and it was so clear that it couldn’t have been a photocopy.

As for the photos…… There weren’t many photos of her and Lu Chenzhou together, and the ones that did exist had all been taken by her. And after she took them, she would always send them to him, sometimes praising him with a comment like, “Look at how handsome you are when you smile!”

And sometimes, she felt helpless and exasperated, and had to force him into taking a photo. Those times, she would caption the photo as something like, “A serious-looking Lu Chenzhou trying to pick me up. He makes me want to bite him.”

At that time, she had thought that it was a normal thing for couples to do, but now, it had become evidence against her. These files with his fingerprints all over them felt like he was arrogantly declaring, “Look, I’m the one who reported you!”

Cheng Xi glared at the offending items in front of her for quite a while. After the initial wave of dizziness in her head retreated, she apologized to the head. “I’m sorry, but can I make a call first?”

When the head saw her strained expression, he sighed. “As you wish.” But his tone was clearly still very upset.

Cheng Xi went out to make a call, and happened to encounter the head nurse on her way out. “Ah, so you’re here even when you’re on vacation. Are you going to treat us to a meal?”

Cheng Xi forced out a smile, and didn’t even know what she said herself. She then hurriedly found a secluded area to call Lu Chenzhou; the call connected, and he sounded like he was at the airport as he was slightly out of breath and there was the pleasant voice of an attendant reminding him to board the plane in the background.

“What’s the matter?” His cool and clear voice was invigorating.

Cheng Xi swallowed her saliva as she tried her best to make her voice calm and clear. “The hospital received an anonymous report. Inside it is the diagnosis I wrote for you when you were at the hospital, as well as a few photographs. Did you know about this?”

“I had someone send it over.” His tone was particularly calm, and she could almost imagine the justified and aloof air about him as he said this with his head held high.

She tried to tamp her fury down. “Why did you do this? Lu Chenzhou, do you understand that I might be fired from the hospital because of this?”

“That’s fine. I can take care of you.”

“……”

Take deep breaths, take deep breaths. You can’t get angry with him! After calming herself again, Cheng Xi asked, “Tell me why you did this.”

“I love you. Is that enough?”

“Lu Chenzhou!”
