Chapter 191: Qiao Sisi’s First Love Revealed!

Fang Zhou had initially thought that with Chu Xinran and Qin Yun both in his ward, the atmosphere would be tense and explosive.

But to his surprise, it was incredibly harmonious.

It was as if they had agreed to put aside their differences, with no signs of their previous clashes.

Or perhaps it was because Fang Zhou couldn’t see, making him unaware of any underlying tension.

In any case, their peaceful coexistence was a good thing for him, saving him the trouble of mediating their conflicts.

And so, a tranquil day passed.

That night, Qin Yun had intended to stay with Fang Zhou, but Han Xi’s assistant beat her to it.

Dressed in a suit, the man with an amiable smile said, “I’ll stay. It’s more convenient for a man to be here.”

“And besides, Dr. Qin, don’t you have an academic seminar tomorrow? You should get a good rest tonight.”

Unlike the cold demeanor of Han Xi, the assistant’s words, though polite, carried the same dismissive effect.

He must have investigated her, otherwise, how would he know her schedule?

Qin Yun chuckled inwardly. Well, they say knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory.

Indeed, she did have a seminar tomorrow, and her work was busy. She had already rescheduled many tasks to be here today.

Before leaving, she gave Fang Zhou a meaningful look, then stepped out.

Chu Xinran also took Fang Wenjing home, not staying the night.

She wasn’t in a good mood and feared losing control and making Fang Zhou worry about her despite his condition.

Though she longed for his care and attention.

That night, Fang Zhou slept soundly for the first time in a long while.

The dreadful feeling of being surrounded by predators had finally disappeared.

On the third day of his hospital stay, Fang Zhou’s vision began to return, no longer shrouded in darkness.

The feelings of vulnerability and anxiety vanished without a trace.

The joy of seeing again filled him with excitement, making him jump for joy.

“This is great!”

Fang Zhou beamed brightly, while the attending doctor remained calm, advising him, “You still need to continue the medication I prescribed. Even after you go home, avoid strenuous activities for a week and then come back for a follow-up.”

“The blood clot in your brain has dissolved, but there’s always a risk of other complications.”

This meant Fang Zhou could be discharged.

His external injuries had mostly healed with the medication.

Grateful, Fang Zhou shook the doctor’s hand, showing a big smile.

“Thank you, doctor! I’ll remember that!”

No more worrying about perverts sneaking into his bed at night!

Han Xi’s assistant, who had slept on the companion bed, was also in good spirits. Upon hearing the good news, he immediately took out his phone to inform Han Xi.

However, when he turned on his phone, a piece of entertainment news caught his attention.

The bold headline read: “Shocking! Top Star Qiao Sisi Visits XX Hospital to See Her Boyfriend!”

On the surface, the assistant seemed like a loyal subordinate to Han Xi.

In reality, he was also a fan of Qiao Sisi.

He was the type who supported all her merchandise, movies, and TV shows.

Seeing this news, he felt as if the world had turned dark.

No way! How could Sisi have a boyfriend?

He clicked on the news, determined to see who the “homewrecker” was.

On the small screen, two photos appeared.

One of Qiao Sisi and the other of Fang Zhou!

The paparazzi had even found photos of them both wearing white shirts, making them look like a perfect match.

The assistant’s eyes widened, staring at Fang Zhou in shock.

It was him?

No way, he couldn’t be her boyfriend.

His first reaction was to think the unscrupulous paparazzi were making things up.

Sisi must have visited Fang Zhou because they were on the same show, and Fang Zhou got hurt protecting everyone.

However, as he was about to switch to inform Han Xi, another news notification popped up, making him unable to laugh.

“Shocking! Qiao Sisi’s First Love Turns Out to Be Fang Zhou!”

The assistant looked up in surprise at Fang Zhou, thinking: No! This can’t be true!

Fang Zhou, having finished talking to the doctor, was resting on the bed with an IV drip, when he felt a strong gaze on him.

Han Xi’s assistant was staring at him intently.

Fang Zhou instinctively touched his face and asked, “What’s wrong? Do I have something on my face?”

That couldn’t be. He had washed his face thoroughly in the morning.

The assistant swallowed hard, retracting his gaze, and suppressed his shock while screenshotting the entertainment news to send to Han Xi.

No way I’m dealing with this heartbreak alone; the boss has to join me!

President Han, Mr. Fang’s vision has returned, and he can be discharged this afternoon.

At that moment, Han Xi was in a shareholder meeting at the company. She glanced at her vibrating phone and was about to set it aside.

But the content of the second screenshot caught her off guard.

Fang Zhou is Qiao Sisi’s first love?

The one she mentioned on the show, the first love who tolerated everything about her?

The file in Han Xi’s hand slipped to the floor, drawing the shareholders’ attention.

“President Han? Are you dissatisfied with my proposal?”

The shareholder speaking, He Ping, was presenting plans for the company’s market development for the next two quarters.

He, riding on his father’s status as a company veteran and his own significant contributions, felt no less capable than Han Xi but resented her for being CEO.

Seeing her falter, he couldn’t resist pointing it out.

The other shareholders, already displeased with Han Xi for abandoning company matters to film a dating show, seized the opportunity to voice their criticism.

“President Han, if you have a better idea, please share it.”

“Oh, right, President Han is busy with her love life. How could she have time for the company’s survival?”

“Forget it, let’s fend for ourselves. We wouldn’t want to delay President Han’s romantic endeavors and incur Cupid’s wrath.”

Their comments seemed aimed at solidifying Han Xi’s dereliction of duty.

Han Xi calmly picked up the file, unperturbed.

“Indeed, your plan is good, but too simplistic.”

“The international market is dominated by big brands. Advertising alone won’t suffice for us to break through.”

Standing up, Han Xi articulated her perspective clearly.

“For the promotion aspect, we can also…”

Her sharp and insightful critique left He Ping speechless, while the other shareholders shifted from skepticism to admiration.

“As expected of President Han! Excellent suggestions!”

“Heh, I was wrong earlier. I shouldn’t have said that. I apologize.”

Their opportunistic attitudes were nothing new to Han Xi, and she paid them no mind.

What truly concerned her was that piece of entertainment news.
