It has to be said that Zhuang Ling is really overthinking this time. Shu Boheng is not only the CEO of Tianheng, but also the big boss of the Shu family. He has a lot of things waiting for him. After Zhuang Ling left, he even had someone arrange for him to be discharged from the hospital.
He will never learn to be a patient who keeps to himself. Even if he is too ill to even get out of bed, in his heart, work always comes first and then comes Zhuang Ling.
This is a habit that has formed over the past ten years.
So, Sister Qi made a wrong guess this time. Shu Boheng really had no idea about the online rumor. He was stopped by Zhou Cheng, using the excuse of being busy with work as the boss. The people under them were unaware of this.
In fact, Zhou Cheng didn't do anything wrong. After all, Tianheng Entertainment is just a subsidiary of the Shu Group. It's unnecessary to bring up such a small matter involving a minor star to the attention of the big boss.
However, this time he had crossed Shu Boheng's bottom line.
"Find out who made the disclosure for me. If you don't get any results, there's no need for you to come see me."
Although Shu Boheng has been discharged from the hospital, his body remains weak. He had to be half-supported and half-carried into the office by Zhou Cheng. At the moment, he is unable to sit for long periods of time, so he can only semi- recline on the sofa, with a thin blanket covering him.
For countless days and nights, he worked like this.
"Boheng, we've been classmates for so many years, and you're treating me like this just because of Zhuang Ling, this ungrateful person?"
"Zhou Cheng, it seems you still don't understand. Work is work, and Zhuang Ling is Zhuang Ling. These are two different matters."
"It's two completely different things."
"As a boss, isn't it irresponsible for you to withhold information from me?"
"I just wanted you to take a break, I don't want you to continue to be burdened by these..."
"Zhou Cheng, as you've mentioned, we have been classmates for so many years. It seems that you still don't know who I really am." Shu Boheng's mouth completely drooped, and his hand resting on his abdomen involuntarily tightened.
"You... I understand. I'm sorry, Boss, I will be more careful next time."
"Sure, let's go out. By the way, also call Ella in."
"Okay." Zhou Cheng silently watched him for a moment, but when he saw that he didn't make any further response, he reluctantly walked towards the door. Just as he was about to reach the doorway, he couldn't help but turn back and say, "Take care of yourself. If you can't hold on, just lie down in the rest area for a while."
"Understood, close the door."
"Okay."
In that instant when the door closed, Shu Boheng's body immediately went limp. He curled up on the sofa, tightly clutching his abdomen with both hands, gritting his teeth, looking like someone rescued from the water.
He had already said so much just now that it was his limit. Being infuriated by this matter, he felt even more exhausted and had to forcefully hide any trace of it from Zhou Cheng. Not to mention how difficult it was for him to endure.
Now, there was only him left in the office. He no longer bothered to hide it and exerted all his energy to fight against the pain. Soon, the pain became so intense that his mind became hazy.
"Eh..." Suddenly, a wave of even more intense pain struck him, causing Shu Boheng to involuntarily let out a moan, "Ah...Ling..."
At the end of it all, there was still a lingering attachment. During their vulnerable moments, Shu Boheng still hoped to see Zhuang Ling, but sadly, the two had long become strangers.
"Knock, knock, knock."
A rhythmic knocking sound echoed, jolting Shen Boheng back to his senses. He tightly gripped the back of the sofa with one hand and used the other to support himself as he sat up. Closing his eyes, he leaned against the back of the chair, taking a moment to compose himself. Only when he was certain that others couldn't detect his abnormality did he speak, "Come in."
