"Miss Shi, what's going on? Why is Chi Beichuan engaged to another woman?"

Smith asked in confusion.

Shi Nian suddenly felt that everything here was out of place. She and Chi Beichuan were people from two completely different worlds. She pushed Smith's hand away and forgot to thank him. She covered her face with her hands and turned around to escape from the crowd.

She was mortified by the looks they were giving her, and she wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.

Mr. Smith's shouts were getting further and further away, and she finally ran out of the banquet hall.

Unlike the heat in the banquet hall, there were few people outside, and she walked aimlessly down the street, her high heels grinding against her heels. She took off her shoes, held them in her hands, and began to run.

In the banquet hall.

Chi Wansheng asked Chi Beichuan with a dark expression, "Your Uncle Xie and I are both here today. You can't do anything you want."

"I am already married. My wife is Shi Nian, and she can only be Shi Nian!" Chi Beichuan quickly searched for Shi Nian below the stage. When he saw the woman running away in a panic, he felt a dull pain in his heart. He was about to chase after her when the woman behind him suddenly fell to the ground and grabbed his pants with one hand.

"Be... Beichuan... don't... leave..."

"Jinzhi has an asthma attack!"

Chi Beichuan turned around. The woman on the ground was pale. She covered her chest and could not breathe. One of her hands was still tightly gripping the corner of his pants. Chi Beichuan frowned. The air pressure around him was extremely low. He bent down and picked up Xie Jin gardenia. He ordered the people around him, "Where's the asthma medicine? Go and get it!"

The stage was in a complete mess. Soong Anya was so anxious that she stomped her feet, her eyes turning red. "She didn't bring Jinzhi with her today. What should we do?"

"Ji Bai, ambulance! Hurry!"

"It's too late, the asthma attack is fast."

Ji Bai hurriedly called the emergency number while sending people to find a doctor nearby.

Fortunately, there was a clinic nearby. A few minutes later, the doctor rushed over with an oxygen tank.

Chi Beichuan was worried about Shi Nian and was about to leave when the woman who was being rescued held his hand tightly.

"Beichuan... Don't..."

"The patient needs to be in a stable state of mind," the doctor said coldly as he helped Xie Jinji sit down.

Chi Wansheng's face was ashen as he scolded, "Jinzhi has an asthma attack because of you. Where else do you want to go?"

In the white ward, Xie Jinzhi held Chi Beichuan's hand tightly and refused to let go. Her pretty face was pale.

"Fortunately, the patient was rescued in time. During this period of time, the patient should pay attention to his recuperation. He will be discharged after a day of observation." The doctor took off his stethoscope and left after giving instructions.

Xie Jinzhi had already fallen asleep. Chi Beichuan looked at her hand that was holding his tightly. He frowned and was about to pry it away.

At this moment, Soong Anya walked over with a serious expression on her face. She gently placed Xie Jinzhi's hand under the blanket and tucked in the corner. She turned around and said softly, "Beichuan, come out with me for a moment."

Chi Beichuan nodded and stood up. He followed behind Mrs. Xie, took out a towel and wiped his hands. He threw the towel into the trash can.

Only Nian could touch his hands.

In the corridor, Soong Anya suppressed her anger and stared at the tall young man in front of her. She took a deep breath and said, "Beichuan, I always thought you would be a good match for my Jinzhi. You better give me a reasonable explanation for what happened today."

Chi Beichuan publicly refusing to marry was undoubtedly equivalent to slapping Xie's face in public and hurting her precious daughter's heart.

The reason why Xie Jinzhi returned to the country this time was to marry Xie Qi and his daughter.

"Aunt Xie, I'm sorry, I can't marry Jinzhi, I..."

"Alright, stop talking. I don't want to hear these words." Soong Anya interrupted him rudely and said with a cold face, "Chi Beichuan, you can be capricious, but the Xie and Qi families have been on good terms since your ancestors. Your Uncle Xie and I care about this relationship. If this matter is suppressed, it will be over. But my daughter must not be wronged in the slightest."

"I know that I, Chi Beichuan, am willing to take full responsibility. I will explain it to Jinzhi when she wakes up."

Soong Anya became even angrier when she heard this, "Jinzhi is weak and fragile, and we have treasured her since she was young. Even now, she is still lying in bed. Do you still want to provoke Jinzhi into worsening her condition?"

The Xie and Qi families had been friends for generations, and they had a lot of business dealings. Chi Beichuan had a respect for the Xie family. He said, "Auntie, what do you want me to do?"

Soong Anya's anger finally dissipated a little, "Stay here and take care of Jinzhi until she recovers and gets discharged from the hospital. During this period, you are not allowed to mention those stupid words you said at the anniversary."

Chi Beichuan frowned and thought for a moment. This matter was indeed caused by him. The man nodded in agreement. "I will take good care of Jinzhi."

"Yes."

Soong Anya glanced at him and turned around to return to the ward.

Ji Bai, who had just arrived, carried a pile of supplements and sighed silently. Only the Xie Family had the guts to treat the CEO like this.

"Have you seen enough?"

Chi Beichuan's sudden words scared Ji Bai. He touched his nose and quickly pushed open the door of the ward to deliver the tonic.

Chi Beichuan's dark eyes fell silent. He was a little annoyed. His mind was filled with the image of Shi Nian's panicked back as she left. The accident at the anniversary must have scared Nian.

He took out his phone, found Shi Nian's number, and dialed it.

Still no one answered.

This was the sixth time he had called Shi Nian.

Was Shi Nian angry with him? Or did something happen? He had to find Nian as soon as possible.

Chi Beichuan was about to leave when Ji Bai quickly walked out and pointed in the direction of the ward. "Master, Miss Xie is awake. She's looking for you."

Chi Beichuan looked at the screen of his phone, which still had no answer. He hung up the phone and returned to the ward.

Soong Anya, who was sitting next to the bed, seemed to have changed into a different person. She was peeling an apple with a kind face. When she saw the man come in, she smiled and said, "Beichuan, come in quickly. Jinzhi is looking for you."

A handsome man walked in from the doorway. His handsome features were exactly the same as the man Xie Jinzhi had missed for six years. She could not stop her heart from racing. When she opened her mouth, her eyes turned red. "Beichuan, long time no see."

"Well, long time no see." Chi Beichuan's expression softened a little and he walked to the bedside.

Xie Jinzhi stared at the man she missed day and night. She loved him, no doubt about it, although she had never made it clear to anyone that she liked Chi Beichuan.

Similarly, Chi Beichuan's family and friends subconsciously treated her as his fiancée. Xie Jinzhi had never thought that Chi Beichuan would reject her one day, in front of so many people, at the biggest anniversary of the Imperial Group.

"Beichuan, I wanted to surprise you by announcing your engagement to me without your permission at the anniversary. Can you stop being angry?"

Xie Jinzhi pursed her lips slightly. She would only act like a spoiled child in front of Chi Beichuan.
