Xiao Long was stunned for a moment. Originally, receiving a call from Wu Chen was beyond his expectation. Now she was told that her husband was about to die. This sudden change made him frightened.
Moreover, Longzhu is still sitting in the house. Why is this call coming at this time? Xiao Long couldn't help but curse Wu Chen in his heart.
"I don't understand what you are saying." Xiao Long said.
"My husband..." Wu Chen's somewhat impatient voice came from the other end of the phone, "It seems he is going to die. Do you understand? My husband..."
Xiao Long pressed the microphone tightly to his ear. He was extremely worried that the sound in the microphone would leak out and be heard by Long Zhu.
"I probably understand what you mean." Xiao Long said politely. He hoped that Wu Chen would understand that it was inconvenient for him to answer the phone now.
"He's really going to die. What should I do?" Wu Chen didn't notice the intention of Xiao Long's answer and was still talking to himself. It was obvious that she had lost all control over her husband's illness and was about to go insane.
"I know." Xiao Long's answer was meaningless. No matter what, he couldn't let Long Zhu hear it. If Long Zhu hears Wu Chen's excited voice, it will probably arouse suspicion. No matter what, he must hang up the phone as soon as possible. However, it won't work if Xiao Long just hangs up. With Wu Chen's character, if he does that, She will definitely call again. There have been such cases before.
"I want to see you right away." Xiao Long's answer made Wu Chen even more anxious, "Can you come over right away?"
"Okay," Xiao Long replied helplessly. In short, you must hang up the phone now. Even if you agree to meet, it doesn't mean you have to go there immediately.
"That's great. I'll wait for you at the coffee shop I often go to. In this situation, you'll be here soon, right? Don't be late!" Wu Chen confirmed.
"I know, I'll do it as soon as possible." Xiao Long raised his voice slightly.
"I'm sorry, I called your dining place..." Wu Chen felt more at ease and his tone became more relaxed after hearing Xiao Long's answer.
"Well, I'll hang up first." Xiao Long hung up the phone with confidence.
As soon as Xiao Long returned to his seat, Long Zhu said politely: "If you have anything to do, I'll go back right away."
"No, it's not a very important matter." In order to calm down, Xiao Long took out the cigarette case and took a cigarette to smoke. His ears echoed with Wu Chen's excited voice telling him that her husband was going to die. Wu Chen always believed that the white powder Xiao Long gave her would kill her husband, because Xiao Long always convinced her that the white powder was a fatal poison, and as long as she mixed a small amount with other medicines and took it continuously every day, her husband would become worse and worse. Weakness and eventual death.
Xiao Long deceived her and used deception to manipulate her emotions. However, Xiao Long was surprised that her husband was going to die so soon.
"Stay a little longer," Xiao Long cursed Wu Chen in his heart for ruining the opportunity he finally got. At the same time, he comforted the beautiful Longzhu and asked her to continue sitting down. But in fact, his mood was greatly affected by Wu Chen. Chen's phone calls were no longer calm, and his words to retain Long Zhu were not as strong as before.
"I'll take my leave first, thank you for the hospitality." Long Zhu stood up from his seat, said goodbye solemnly to Xiao Long, and then picked up his handbag.
Watching her graceful silhouette as she left, Xiao Long seemed to be watching a beautiful female deer walking away from the grass.
An hour later, Xiao Long arrived at the coffee shop where he often met Wu Chen. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Wu Chen sitting in his old seat. The cup on the table was empty, with only some orange juice foam remaining. I don't know whether it was due to excessive excitement or coming too early, but her posture seemed a little stiff.
When Xiao Long stood in front of her, the light from the ceiling reflected Wu Chen's pale face. In the past, when they had trysts, she always wore makeup, but today she had no makeup on and her hair was very messy. When she saw Xiao Long coming, she did not greet him with a smile as before, but continued to look diagonally downward.
Xiao Long sat down silently. He knew why Wu Chen's face was pale and his body was stiff. He pretended to be unhappy and sat down and smoked for a while.
"I've been waiting for a long time." Wu Chen said in her dry voice, "While waiting for you to come, I was simply restless." She was obviously blaming Xiao Long for being late. Since she noticed her husband's condition, She could no longer calm down, and there were some wrinkles between her eyebrows.
Xiao Long drove Long Zhu back to the store. Along the way, he tried his best to please Long Zhu, so he wasted a lot of time. Despite his efforts, Long Zhu's attitude was very cold. As soon as he got off the car, he walked straight into his gorgeous shop. Obviously, she was so sensitive. Already noticed something over the phone. Because of this, facing Wu Chen, Xiao Long had nothing to say for a moment, and an unhappy look appeared on his face.
Noticing Xiao Long's unhappy look, Wu Chen immediately changed his expression and began to spy on Xiao Long's face with fear.
Xiao Long pretended not to know and drank coffee by himself.
"You look very ugly." Xiao Long finally turned to the topic.
"Well. This morning my husband suddenly felt very uncomfortable. I panicked at the time and wanted to tell you right away. It seems that he is still suffering from pain." She quietly glanced at Xiao Long's eyes and said.
"It's really embarrassing for me to call you right away for such a trivial matter." Xiao Long said expressionlessly.
"But, an hour ago, his condition worsened: his face was pale, his breathing was chaotic, and he looked very painful. I was so scared that I not only called other doctors over, but I also immediately ran out of the house to call you. ." Her explanation seemed to be asking Xiao Long to forgive her for the unwelcome phone call.
Her face was pale, the corners of her eyes were raised, she leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "Did the medicine work?" She couldn't let others hear her words, so her voice was low and trembling.
"Not that fast." Xiao Long replied coldly,
"However, his condition is different from ordinary symptoms. He has become weaker these days, and now he can't even make a sound. In order to meet you, I specially took a taxi out. During this time, he may have I died." Even if it was only a little bit, Wu Chen did feel guilty for his actions.
As expected, this woman is still superstitious about the effect of "poison". Xiao Long speculated from the symptoms she just mentioned that her husband should be some time away from death. Seeing Wu Chen's devastated look, Xiao Long was suddenly very moved.
"It doesn't matter." He said as if nothing happened.
"Huh?" A look of relief flashed across Wu Chen's eyes, but he still had doubts, "Is it really okay?"
"Really." Xiao Long exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "But you really care about your husband."
"No, that's not the case. However, if he dies, it will cause me a lot of trouble." Wu Chen had an embarrassed look on his face.
"You are so flustered, you must be worried!"
"No, I don't mean that. I have no feelings for him. Now I only have you in my heart. However, when I think that he is about to die, although I am not particularly sad, I still feel a little pity for him at least." Wu Chen defended.
"It's okay. I'm a doctor. I've seen your husband before. Based on your description, I can still judge the general situation."
"Really?" She was still very uneasy.
"It's not easy to meet us once, would you like to accompany me? One hour is enough." Xiao Long looked away deliberately, his tone without any emotion.
Wu Chen gasped in surprise. "I really can't do it today. At this critical moment, I..."
"I have already said that your husband's condition is not serious now, and I miss you too."
"But, it really doesn't work." She shook her head and lowered her eyes.
Xiao Long knew her mood well, and she was afraid that Xiao Long would be dissatisfied with her.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Long will become even more aggressive because of the opponent's struggle.
"Can you understand my feelings? If you really care about your husband that much, I have nothing to say."
"No, that's not what I meant. It's just that I left the dying patient alone and sneaked here..."
