CHAPTER 250: CHAPTER 249: OUT OF POWER

Tan Qing hesitated, not bearing to see her get drenched in the rain, got out of the car, and moved to the front passenger seat. Wen Nuan got in, turned her head to glare at him, "Did you forget your medicine?"

"That wasn’t fever medicine." Tan Qing chuckled lightly, a bit bitterly, yet inexplicably filled with warmth and happiness inside.

No matter what, she was concerned about him, and that was enough, wasn’t it?

"You’re unbelievable!" Wen Nuan glared fiercely at him, snorted coldly, "Hmph, tricked me! Also, driving in this condition, Tan Qing, you’re being very irresponsible towards yourself, you know that?"

"Sorry, my bad." Tan Qing smiled, his chapped lips curving into a dazzling grin.

His heart was full of happiness; she cared about him, he really liked that. Even if her heart wasn’t his, even if she would eventually return to Leng Yan’s side, thinking back on her fierce concern for him would still make him happy.

Looking at his cheeky smile, Wen Nuan sighed, "Let’s get you to the hospital first."

His fever was so high; it wouldn’t do not to go to the hospital.

"No need, just take me home, the family doctor is there anyway." He looked at her, speaking softly, "I actually wanted the driver to come, but he had something come up at the last minute, so I thought of driving myself back."

It was as an explanation; he didn’t want her to worry too much.

Leng Yan’s car stopped amidst the rain, grabbing the umbrella from his seat, he opened the door and strode inside.

"Sir, who are you looking for?" The receptionist was startled seeing him. She wanted to comment on his lack of manners, but upon seeing a face no less impressive than Tan Qing’s, her attitude softened significantly.

"Wen Nuan. She hasn’t left yet, has she?" He was concise with his words.

The Leng Family wasn’t far from here, Wen Qingyan said she would leave later, he hadn’t had the chance to call her before coming.

"Assistant Wen, oh, she’s in Young Master Tan’s car," the receptionist quickly said.

"Tan Qing?"

Tan Qing went to drop her off? Leng Yan’s heart sank, his handsome face darkening; not waiting for the receptionist to say anything, he dashed out.

"Buckle up, we’re about to drive." Wen Nuan glanced at Tan Qing beside her, fastening her seatbelt while reminding him.

Tan Qing barely managed to lift his spirits, buckled up, his eyelids fighting to stay open, not wanting to sleep.

Time alone with her would be scarce in the future; he cherished this moment.

When Leng Yan ran outside, a sapphire blue car drove into the rain. He recognized the license plate immediately, got back into his car, and pulled out his phone to call Wen Nuan.

The phone rang, and seeing the name on the screen, Tan Qing handed it to her, "His call."

Wen Nuan smiled awkwardly, taking it, "Hello."

However, after this one word, there was silence. She looked at it in surprise, frowning slightly, "It’s dead."

"Use mine," Tan Qing offered his own, then remembered something, took her dead phone, and removed the battery, "Use your SIM to call, so he won’t ignore the call seeing my number."

"Thank you, Tan Qing." Wen Nuan looked straight ahead, thanking Tan Qing.

He was very thoughtful; Leng Yan was good at remembering numbers. He had seen Tan Qing’s number before; having always seen him as a rival in love, he probably memorized it by heart.

Removing Wen Nuan’s SIM, wanting to turn off his phone, Tan Qing saw the screen already dark despite being on, and couldn’t help but smile bitterly, "Sorry Nuannuan, mine’s also dead."

He forgot to charge it last night, and the spare battery was left in the office; he was dizzy and forgot it when he left.

"Forget it, I’ll call him back later." Wen Nuan smiled, comforting him.

Leng Yan listened to the sounds from the phone, just about to speak, then heard nothing. He frowned tighter, called again, but the line was dead. Gritting his teeth, he watched the car in the distance getting further away, and started his car to chase after them.
