When the Female Lead Becomes Obsessive – Chapter 238

Volume Ten: Those Few Years After She and I Broke Up

Checkup

Wen Nuan’s recovery ability was formidable; even her attending physician exclaimed that she was a heaven-sent strange talent.¹

Secretary Li looked at Wen Nuan, who was already able to get out of bed and was alive, bouncing, and jumping randomly². She placed the documents and contracts she was holding on Yi Jing’s desk and remarked with emotion, “Miss Wen’s physical constitution is really good, isn’t it?!”

Hearing Secretary Li’s words, Yi Jing turned her head to look and saw that Wen Nuan had already gotten out of bed to pour a glass of water for Secretary Li.

Her expression tightened. She went over to hug Wen Nuan and said in a panic, “Why are you out of bed? Your injury hasn’t healed yet. Quick, get back in bed and rest.”

Wen Nuan was half-dragged, half-lifted back to the bed by Yi Jing. She lay down and gave a helpless smile. “I’ve been fine for a while now. Didn’t the doctor say I could be discharged in two days?”

“That’s not acceptable. You injured your head. The head is very fragile; even a small bump can be serious, not to mention you’ve had surgery. Stay in the hospital for a few more days and get another full-body checkup. We need to do every single test.”

Yi Jing was worried Wen Nuan would have after-effects. After all, damaging one’s brain was very serious. It was necessary to do more tests to ensure everything was stable.

Wen Nuan held Yi Jing’s hand and said with a laugh, “Alright, I’ll listen to you. I’ll do whatever you say.”

Looking at such a well-behaved Wen Nuan, Yi Jing felt a wave of warmth in her heart. She tentatively stroked Wen Nuan’s cheek. Seeing that she didn’t shy away, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. “You be good. Once your injuries are all healed, I won’t stop you from doing anything you want.”

Even… even if you want to leave me, that’s fine…

Yi Jing was reluctant to let Wen Nuan leave the hospital. For one, she was distressed about her injuries and worried about potential after-effects. For another, their relationship had eased during this time. Wen Nuan no longer resisted her approach. They were like a couple in love, so intimate without a gap³, so impossible to give up.

Yi Jing greedily coveted this harmonious and warm atmosphere. She even thought that Wen Nuan must have damaged her brain to say such sweet nothings like “I like you”—words that made one want to weep bitterly and have flowing tears. That must be why she was being so good to her, listening to her in everything.

So moving to one’s heart and soul.

And she, in a mischievous way, actually hoped Wen Nuan would stay in the hospital for a few more days, so that this period of time could be a little longer, just a little longer…

Wen Nuan could clearly see the reluctance to part in Yi Jing’s eyes and also knew of the unease and hesitation in her heart.

Although a prodigal son returns⁴ is precious, their credibility is extremely low.

Wen Nuan understood Yi Jing, so she had to work even harder to make Yi Jing believe in her deep love and loyalty.

She nuzzled Yi Jing’s palm and said with a beaming smile, “Okay, I’ll listen to everything you say.”

Yi Jing gave a faint smile. “Mm.”

Secretary Li held a cup of hot water, watching the clingy couple in front of her. Her own Boss’s gentle-as-water expression and smile were enough to greatly open her field of vision⁵, while Miss Wen’s obedient, housecat-like demeanor made one marvel at how strange the world was.

She pursed her lips, but still felt embarrassed to interrupt the two who were in the middle of a sweet interaction.

“Boss, there’s a meeting at 11 o’clock about the Yangming Island development project. This meeting is very important and requires your personal attendance.”

During the time Wen Nuan was hospitalized, Yi Jing had basically moved her office into Wen Nuan’s hospital room. Secretary Li ran back and forth between the company and the hospital, arranging for any meetings that could be attended online so that Yi Jing wouldn’t have to go anywhere.

But this time, it was a meeting about the “Yangming Island” development, and it was very important. Yi Jing had to be present in person, so Secretary Li had come today specifically to pick Yi Jing up for the meeting.

Yi Jing’s brow furrowed slightly. “How long is the meeting?”

Secretary Li glanced at her watch. “It’s expected to end at 6 p.m.”

“That long?” Yi Jing didn’t want to leave Wen Nuan for too long, but she also knew the importance of this development project.

Wen Nuan patted the back of Yi Jing’s hand. “Go on. I’ll stay here at the hospital. I won’t go anywhere. I’ll wait for you to come back.”

“Besides, I have to continue my full-body checkup this afternoon. You signed me up for a lot of tests that I haven’t done yet.”

Yi Jing thought for a moment, then nodded. “Okay. If anything happens, call me immediately. I’ll have my phone with me.”

“Okay, go on,” Wen Nuan said with a smile.

Secretary Li gave Wen Nuan a grateful look. “Then, Boss, shall we… go?”

“Alright. You go down and get the car ready first,” Yi Jing said.

Secretary Li immediately ran down in her high heels to bring the car to the hospital entrance.

Yi Jing looked at Wen Nuan sitting on the hospital bed and leaned down to hug her.

Her arms hovered around her, not daring to use a shred of strength.

Yi Jing was afraid of hurting her, and also afraid that if Wen Nuan pushed her away, she would pull at her wound. “Wait for me.”

Wen Nuan’s expression went blank for a second. Her heart felt as if it had melted.

It turned out she wasn’t the only one waiting.

She suddenly hugged Yi Jing tightly, took a deep breath of the fresh scent on her body, and smiled with relief. “Okay. I’ll be right here waiting for you to come back.”

Yi Jing’s pupils trembled slightly. She was held in a full embrace by Wen Nuan and smiled. “Mm.”

Wen Nuan watched Yi Jing leave the room. She got out of bed, walked to the window, and pulled it open. The cold wind of early winter sobered her up quite a bit.

She looked down and could just see Secretary Li waiting downstairs with a group of assistants for Yi Jing.

Yi Jing’s slender and upright figure appeared in Wen Nuan’s sight. She still had that cold and detached look, sitting in the car, not casually speaking or laughing, seemingly more biting than the early winter itself.

Wen Nuan propped her chin on her hand and watched the car drive away, the interest still not exhausted.⁶

【Still looking? The car’s exhaust fumes have almost completely dissipated.】 the System teased.

“You don’t get it,” Wen Nuan said smugly. “This is called romantic fun.”

【Heh, I don’t get it. I only know that the Blackening Value⁷ has dropped a little more. Although it’s not much, it still counts as decent progress.】 The System glanced at the data panel. 【The Blackening Value is already at 4.5. Keep it up.】

“Okay.”

Wen Nuan closed the window and followed a nurse out of the room to go for her checkup.

Yi Jing looked at the project proposal. “How much does the Hanwen Group plan to invest this time?”

Secretary Li said, “Three hundred million, same as us.”

“Increase the investment amount,” Yi Jing said, closing the proposal. “Five hundred million.”

Secretary Li was surprised. “Boss, you’re…?”

Yi Jing’s eyes were profound. “I want to get the main say in this project.”

Sometimes, money is still very effective.

Secretary Li understood. “Understood.”

“What tests were scheduled for Wen Nuan’s checkup?” Yi Jing asked.

Secretary Li took out a tablet, found the file, and handed it to Yi Jing. “I’ve arranged for every test the hospital can possibly perform for Miss Wen.”

Yi Jing looked at the list of tests. “Gynecology?”

“Can’t she do it?” Secretary Li thought Yi Jing didn’t want Wen Nuan to have a gynecological exam. “I’ll call and have them cancel this test then.”

“Forget it. Let’s just do it along with the others. It’s good to get it checked.”

Yi Jing turned off the tablet and looked at the traffic outside, like a river flowing without stopping.⁸

She knew about Wen Nuan’s previously unrestrained lifestyle and guessed that after Wen Nuan went to America, she might have become even more reckless.

After all, that morning when Wen Nuan had dominated her, every single movement had exuded proficiency and skill.

Yi Jing lowered her gaze and sighed heavily.

It’s good to get it checked. Her health is the most important thing.

Seeing Yi Jing’s worried expression, as if she were very troubled, Secretary Li asked, “Boss, what’s wrong?”

Yi Jing shook her head. “It’s nothing.”

“Are you tired?” Secretary Li asked with concern. “Would you like to rest in the car for a while?”

Yi Jing closed her eyes and relaxed her body. “That’s a good idea.”

Secretary Li raised the partition, took out a thin blanket, and covered Yi Jing with it.

Wen Nuan looked at the gynecological exam before her and wondered aloud, “I just injured my head, and I still have to get a gynecological exam?”

The nurse explained, “This test is on the list. Since you’re already here, you might as well get it done.”

“…” Wen Nuan looked at the equipment in front of her and the doctor preparing to examine her. “I don’t think I can do this test, can I?”

Nurse: “???”

Wen Nuan smiled faintly. “I’m a virgin. I can only do gynecological exams like a B-scan or a routine blood test.”

The nurse and the doctor: “!!!”

Wen Nuan’s scandals were bizarre and varied, with no shortage of rumors about her being promiscuous, having her feet on two different boats⁹, and having a chaotic private life. Now, hearing the person herself say she was a virgin and couldn’t undergo certain more private gynecological exams, the doctor and nurse were also a “little” bit shocked and suspicious.

Wen Nuan looked at their two skeptical faces: “…”

Although scandals about her flew everywhere, and although she smoked, drank, and got into fights, she really was a good kid.

How could they still not believe her?!

The System retorted: 【If I hadn’t been with you this whole time, even I wouldn’t believe you after seeing all those scandals about you.】

Wen Nuan: “…”

The trust between people is truly fragile.

Wen Nuan’s checkup was all VIP treatment. All her tests were prioritized, and the reports from each department were also delivered with the fastest possible results.

According to the data analysis and imaging from the various reports, Wen Nuan was indeed a “virgin.”

Her hymen was completely intact, and based on her other tests, she had never had sexual intercourse.

After the results came out, Wen Nuan could feel that the medical staff’s gazes were filled with heartache and pity for her.

Wen Nuan let out a long sigh and thought to herself: Can’t you all focus more on treating patients and saving lives, and less on reading gossip and rumors?!

The hospital bundled all of Wen Nuan’s checkup reports and sent them to Secretary Li’s email inbox.

When Secretary Li saw the reports had arrived, she immediately downloaded and printed them.

As soon as the project meeting ended, Secretary Li got into the car with Yi Jing. On the way to the hospital, she handed the printed checkup reports to her.

“Boss, Miss Wen’s checkup reports are out. Would you like to take a look?”

“Okay.” Yi Jing took the reports and examined them page by page, afraid she might miss something and delay Wen Nuan’s follow-up treatment.

When she saw the checkup reports that had been sent over, Yi Jing’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Secretary Li saw Yi Jing’s expression change, as if she had received some major shock.

She also grew nervous and asked with concern, “Boss, is one of Miss Wen’s… indicators not good? I’ll call the department director right now.”

“No need.”

Yi Jing stared at the notes on the report, her eyes not turning the pupils¹⁰, the paper wrinkling from her agitation.

Logically, this kind of information shouldn’t appear on a report; there shouldn’t be written documentation of it. But they had demanded that the hospital write down matters without large or small¹¹ on the report, which is why the hospital included the information that Wen Nuan was a “virgin” and informed them that some tests could not be performed on a “virgin,” hoping they would understand the hospital’s predicament.

Yi Jing was so shocked she was nearly speechless.

Wen Nuan was a virgin. Then… what on earth was going on during that period when she was constantly going out to get hotel rooms with men?

She was clearly entangled ambiguously with those men. She had clearly seen with her own eyes Wen Nuan entering and exiting hotels with different men, staying until dawn before coming out.

Why would she still be a virgin?!

The hospital’s tests couldn’t be wrong, and the report also stated that Wen Nuan had never had sexual intercourse.

That meant the one who had been lying was Wen Nuan.

Yi Jing took a deep breath. “Secretary Li?”

Secretary Li immediately responded, “Boss, I’m here.”

“Help me find these people,” Yi Jing said, sending the names to Secretary Li’s phone. “No matter what method you have to use, bring them to me.”

Secretary Li said, “Understood. I’ll get on it right away.”

The car stopped at the hospital entrance. Yi Jing’s eyes were deep. She picked up the insulated lunch box, which contained the chicken soup she had someone prepare.

She got out of the car carrying the chicken soup and looked at Secretary Li. “I want to see them tomorrow.”

Seeing Yi Jing’s grave expression, Secretary Li immediately understood the urgency and importance of the matter.

She said firmly, “Yes, Boss.”

Yi Jing started walking toward the hospital and went up to the 16th floor.

She didn’t push open the door to the room immediately. Instead, she stood outside, watching Wen Nuan lying on the bed playing with her phone through the window on the door.

Her recovery was going very well. The doctor had also said Wen Nuan could be discharged at any time. It was she who had forcibly kept Wen Nuan in the hospital to satisfy her own greed and distracting thoughts.

Yi Jing’s hand rested on the door. She was a little afraid to face Wen Nuan.

Today’s report was like a fierce and shameful slap in the face. Everything she had once resented and reviled was a lie.

She was a little scared, scared of a truth so clean and pure white.

It would illuminate the ugliness and viciousness within her own heart.

Wen Nuan seemed to sense something. She got out of bed and looked toward the door, seeing Yi Jing stopped there, lost in thought.

The System’s notification sound echoed in her mind, saying that the female lead’s Blackening Value was fluctuating wildly and that she needed to handle it.

Wen Nuan raised an eyebrow, walked over, and opened the door.

Before Yi Jing could say anything, Wen Nuan pulled her into her arms and held her tight.

“Xiao Jing?”

Yi Jing bit her lip, buried her head in the crook of Wen Nuan’s shoulder, and responded in a low voice, “Mm.”

Wen Nuan teased with a smile, “What am I going to do?”

“What?”

She was clearly complaining, but the words she spoke were enough to make one’s heart melt.

“You were only gone for a few hours, and I already miss you like crazy.”
