Chapter 186: An Exciting Love Triangle?

The assistant knew his tone was akin to a schoolboy tattling to a teacher.

But there was no helping it; President Han had ordered him to keep a close watch on Fang Zhou and report any unusual activity immediately.

As Han Xi’s assistant, he had to align with the CEO’s interests.

Seeing the boss’s companion being taken advantage of was akin to having his own wife harassed!

Within two minutes of sending the message, Han Xi appeared on the video call.

The assistant answered, revealing Han Xi’s frosty expression.

Her cold voice filled the ward.

“Where are they?”

The assistant quickly switched to the rear camera, pointing it toward Fang Zhou.

“Over there.”

Fang Zhou was still reeling from Qin Yun’s sudden gesture. He felt something soft brush his face, most likely a kiss.

Realizing there were so many people in the room, Fang Zhou grew anxious.

He abruptly pushed Qin Yun’s hand away and asked urgently, “What are you doing?”

Just last night, he had been tied up and kissed. Now, fully awake and unrestrained, it was happening again?

Enough was enough.

The hotel staff were equally shocked, their eyes darting between Qin Yun and Fang Zhou, eager for gossip.

Yesterday, Han Xi had shown such care for this man, leading them to believe he was her boyfriend.

And now, this woman had kissed him without a word?

Whoa, this was an exciting love triangle!

They were thrilled! They wanted to see more drama!

Unfortunately, Han Xi’s assistant wasn’t about to let them indulge.

He cleared his throat, and despite their reluctance, the hotel staff had to leave.

When Han Xi’s video call came through, Fang Zhou was still confronting Qin Yun.

“Do you realize this is sexual harassment?”

Fang Zhou was furious. Last night, he had already endured a lot, and now Qin Yun was adding to it.

Although he wasn’t technically harmed, they weren’t in a relationship, so who gave her the right?

Unable to see where she stood, he raised his voice.

“Calm down; you’ll hurt yourself,” Qin Yun laughed softly, dismissing his anger.

“It was an accident. I lost my balance and fell on you.”

Fang Zhou was left speechless. Unable to see, he couldn’t tell if she was lying.

I just saw you do it on purpose!

In Qin Yun’s mind, Fang Zhou’s anger was like a playful kitten’s paw swipe—harmless and endearing.

He would calm down soon enough.

What truly concerned her was Han Xi’s call.

She turned her gaze to the assistant’s phone, where the woman was watching intently.

“Thank you, President Han, for sending someone to take care of Fang Zhou. You’re busy, so don’t worry; I’ve got this,” Qin Yun said with a gentle smile.

To the unknowing, it seemed like a gesture of goodwill, but only Han Xi knew it was a challenge, a declaration of dominance.

Han Xi wasn’t interested in verbal sparring. She shifted her focus to Fang Zhou.

“How are you feeling today?”

Recognizing Han Xi’s voice, Fang Zhou felt a newfound warmth, appreciating her non-intrusive care.

“Much better, thank you. Take care of yourself too; don’t overwork.”

He remembered how dedicated Han Xi was at work, even landing in the hospital once. Someone so committed shouldn’t sacrifice her health.

Fang Zhou’s gratitude toward Han Xi was warmer than his earlier confrontation with Qin Yun.

Han Xi’s mood, which had plummeted, lifted with Fang Zhou’s concern.

Her icy demeanor softened, seeming to overlook the earlier incident.

Fang Zhou couldn’t see and was defenseless against Qin Yun’s kiss; it wasn’t his fault.

“Alright, let my assistant know if you need anything. He’ll get it for you.”

Han Xi’s instructions were like a husband caring for his wife.

Feeling a bit embarrassed by Han Xi’s continued support, Fang Zhou scratched his head.

“No worries, I’m fine. You focus on your work.”

Their conversation was brief, and the assistant left with the phone.

Han Xi turned to her assistant with a stern look, “I didn’t send you there to stand around. Keep Fang Zhou safe, understand?”

This included protecting him from other women’s harassment.

The assistant blinked, wanting to say, “You didn’t tell me what to do!”

But his survival instinct kept him quiet, instead offering a promise.

“Sorry, President Han. From now on, I’ll keep a close watch on Fang Zhou and not let any other women near him!”

Han Xi rubbed her temples, knowing his words were only 70% reliable.

Qin Yun was too much for him to handle, but some effort was better than none.

“Fine, carry on.”

Han Xi ended the call, and the assistant returned to the ward, sitting right next to Fang Zhou, watching him closely.

Whenever Fang Zhou needed water, a bathroom break, or a blood test, the assistant helped, giving Qin Yun no chance.

Frustrated but unable to act, Qin Yun sat back, watching the two with a hint of a smile.

Though annoyed at being unable to touch Fang Zhou, seeing him was enough for now.

She couldn’t push too hard, or Fang Zhou would dislike her even more.

Time passed, and as Fang Zhou was getting an IV, the ward finally quieted down.

Just then, two more visitors arrived.

One tall, one short, they entered together, their demeanor either serene or gentle. Both had innocent smiles, like two blossoming pear flowers.

“Brother! How are you?”

The shorter girl rushed to the bedside, her eyes filled with worry.

Behind her was Chu Xinran, dressed in a sky-blue dress.

Though smiling, she looked tired, as if she hadn’t rested well.

Upon seeing them, Qin Yun froze.

Quickly, she turned her back to them, her calm facade hiding her internal chaos.

Fang Wenjing’s arrival felt like a cold wind cutting through her clothes in spring, chilling her to the bone.

Why was she here?
