I Hate You, Devil!

Chapter 200 Don“

\"Boss!!!\" Gu Wei’s voice rang loudly the moment he opened the door and peeked inside. He saw Yu Chen wobbling as he struggled to walk so he rushed towards him and held his arm to keep him standing.

\"Boss, please, you shouldn’t walk yet. You have been bedridden for four months, remember?!\" he frantically reminded him as he made him sit on the edge of the bed.

\"I’m fine. I want to see her.\" Was all Yu Chen said and Gu Wei looked at Yang Jin helplessly.

\"Yu Chen, you have to undergo some therapy first so that your body’s strength will return. Don’t worry. It’s already amazing that you can stand on your own right away like this so I assure you that you will get your strength back within a very short period of time.\" Yang Jin explained but Yu Chen obviously looked displeased. What Yang Jin told him was definitely not enough to stop him.

Seeing Yu Chen gritting his teeth in utter frustration, Yang Jin sighed.

\"I know you badly want to see her but, are you sure you want to show up in front of her like that? You’re too weak to even walk right now. Miss Luo will only get worried if you go out in this state.\" Yang Jin said and finally, Yu Chen’s jaws relaxed although he didn’t lift his head again. He remained sitting there, looking down and gloomier than ever.

\"How about I’ll go fetch Miss Luo back here? I tried calling her a while ago but she’s not answering. I called her secretary and she said that she’s is in an important meeting for the next two hours.\" Gu Wei said as he stared at Yu Chen, but the man remained silent.

\"Boss, should I go?\" he asked again but still, Yu Chen didn’t reply.

But the moment Gu Wei took a step to leave the room, Yu Chen stopped him.

\"Stop. Don’t go and don’t tell her that I’m already awake.\" He said decisively, causing the men before him to silently look at each other.

\"Er... are you sure, boss? Miss Luo will badly want to see you now, you know.\" Gu Wei immediately argued.

\"I know but I don’t want her to see me this weak... I don’t want her to worry about me anymore...\" Yu Chen replied in weak voice. He was now looking at his hand which was still shaking.

Yang Jin patted the man’s shoulder. \"I honestly understand what you want to happen. If Miss Luo sees you like this, I’m sure she will insist on helping you with the therapy. The therapy won’t be easy and I think it would be best if she wasn’t a part of it. It’s better to leave it all to the best therapist. Miss Luo is already exhausted from working nonstop these the past few months. I can even predict that her body will soon reach its limit since strangely, she’s never fallen ill at all, not even a slight fever despite her unhealthy lifestyle. I know she will be happy to help you but I don’t think her body will keep up with her will. I honestly want you to gain your strength back before showing up to her.\"

What Yang Jin said was actually sensible even for Gu Wei. If Luo Xiaolei sees Yu Chen like this, they were sure she would stay beside him and take care of him. Knowing Yu Chen, he definitely wouldn’t want to give her any more burden especially now that he knew her situation.

However, Gu Wei was still torn. He understood why his boss wanted to do this but he found it pretty hard to hide this from her. \"S-so you mean, you want us to keep this a secret from Miss Luo? We aren’t allowed to tell her that you’re already awake until you finish your therapy?\" he asked, sounding disappointed.

\"Actually, I don’t think the therapy will take long. Luckily, Yu Chen’s body is unusually stronger than normal. Most people that wake up from a coma can’t even make themselves sit up.\"

\"Then, how long will we hide this?\"

\"It will depend on Yu Chen –\"

\"Give me two days.\" Yu Chen cut through Yang Jin. But what he said only shocked the doctor to his core.

\"Hey, two days is way too short. You will need more –\"

\"No. I know my body. That’s more than I need and that will probably be my limit. I don’t think I could endure more faking it for longer than that. I don’t want to make her wait more than 2 more days.\"

Yang Jin and Gu Wei could no longer say a word. They knew that whatever this man had set in his mind, he would definitely achieve it no matter how ridiculous it may seem.

\"What time does she usually come back?\" Yu Chen asked and Gu Wei immediately replied.

\"It varies actually. Lately, she’s here at eleven sometimes, but most times, she’s here past twelve.\"

\"That’s... way too late... why did you guys let her...\" Yu Chen left his sentence hanging. He fell silent again, as if he was hurt hearing that his Xiaolei was working that late. He finally understood how she felt when he insisted on working very late that time when he had just recovered from the hospital. He didn’t know that it stung this much.

This was actually a hard decision for Yu Chen. He badly wanted to see her now, embrace her now and end her waiting now but... he didn’t want to just weakly sit here like this and wait for her to embrace him. He wanted to be the one doing that. He wanted to be the one running towards her to embrace her as tight as he could. Most of all, he wanted to get back his strength first because if he won’t, there’s no way he could execute the surprise he was planning for her.

\"Uhm boss, how about your grandpa and your sons? Should we tell them?\" Gu Wei’s question pulled him away from his train of thought.

\"No.\" Yu Chen was quick to reply. \"I can’t show Little Ran and Rui how weak I am right now either.\"

\"O-okay, then. I’ll go seal the others’ mouths about this news! Leave the rest to me, boss!\"

After that, Yang Jin immediately arranged for the best therapist in the country to come. However, before the therapist could even arrive, Gu Wei barged inside the room, panting.

\"B-boss!!! The little bosses, I mean, little young master Ran and Rui are here!!!\" Gu Wei was in panic. \"What should we do? Their schedule of visiting you was always in the afternoon but I forgot that today is Saturday. They’re going to spend the day here with you!\"
