Chapter 490 Departure! We're heading back to Ancheng.
Before going to bed that night, Shen Jiayi took out her phone and checked WeChat. Her eyes flickered slightly, and her expression dimmed somewhat. Xia Jinghao hadn't sent her a WeChat message. What was he doing in Germany? It couldn't be that he was dealing with his father's matter. He had already said he wouldn't look for the murderer anymore, so why hadn't he come back yet...?
Shen Jiayi felt a little down. She placed her phone on her lap, slightly bent her neck, and swiped the screen with her right hand, scrolling up to check their chat history. "Xia Jinghao, what are you doing? Send me a WeChat message!"
Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, her dark, gem-like eyes darkened, and she picked up her phone and tossed it aside. Shen Jiayi slowly lay down, gradually flattening herself on the bed with her legs outstretched. Sleepiness washed over her, her eyelids drooped, and she quickly fell asleep.
Shen Jiayi didn't open her eyes all night, as if she hadn't witnessed Li Cheyan's behavior that night. She slept until 2:30 pm the next day, when she moved her eyebrows and slowly opened her eyes, gently getting out of bed.
After washing up, Shen Jiayi changed into a comfortable maternity dress. She opened the door, walked to the stairwell, held onto the handrail, and slowly walked downstairs with her right hand supporting her waist. As soon as she reached the bottom of the stairs, she saw Song Yuyan lying on the sofa.
She took a step and walked over slowly. Shen Jiayi walked to the sofa and looked over. Song Yuyan turned over slightly and lay on the sofa. She sat on the single sofa and looked up at her watch.
It was already 2:35 PM. Shen Jiayi looked up, feeling a little bored. She stood up, turned around, and walked towards the door. The sky was slightly gray today, and the wind was a bit strong. She lowered her eyes and looked at the steps beneath her feet.
Shen Jiayi walked to the hot spring pool. The hot spring water was steaming. She couldn't help but walk over. The hot spring pool occupied half of the area. It was petal-shaped. Her eyes flickered. She wanted to soak in the hot spring. She walked to the hot spring pool.
Looking down, she realized she wasn't wearing a bathrobe. "Maybe I should soak my feet?" Shen Jiayi took off her black fuzzy slippers, put her right hand on her waist, and walked up the steps to the hot spring pool. Holding onto the steps, she slowly stepped into the pool.
Then, sitting on the hot spring pool and putting her legs into it, Shen Jiayi suddenly widened her eyes. It was too hot! She quickly lifted her legs slightly, and the heat made her legs turn red immediately. She frowned, realizing that she was just impatient. It was just that her ankles were slightly red.
Although she was hesitant to soak in a hot spring because she didn't know if pregnant women could, she opted to soak her feet instead. She closed her eyes, placed her legs in the hot spring pool, and felt the heat gradually spread to her forehead and then to her brow.
To be honest, she had never actually soaked in a hot spring before. As Shen Jiayi soaked, a blush rose on her charming face. Her legs kicked around in the hot spring water, making her feel even more comfortable. She tried to stand in the hot spring pool, her right hand supporting her waist.
The water reached her calves. Shen Jiayi lowered her eyes. She wanted to sit in the hot spring pool, but... You're a doctor yourself, don't you know whether you can soak in a hot spring or not? She frowned. It was too uncomfortable to just look and not soak.
A moment later, she put on her slippers and walked towards the small garden room. She opened the door, and the garden room was filled with the fragrance of flowers. Shen Jiayi went inside. These flowers were so beautiful. She walked forward, bent down, and picked a peach petal.
Shen Jiayi held the peach petals in her hand, shook them, and murmured to herself, "Peach blossoms, peach blossoms." She tossed the petals behind her with a flick of her wrist. Bored, she idly picked at the petals. Shen Jiayi shook her head helplessly.
On the Berlin highway in Germany -
It was a little after 8 p.m. in Germany when the van entered Berlin. A gust of cold wind blew into the window, and Chi Che quickly opened his eyes. He sat up and turned to look out the window. The night outside had already darkened. They had arrived in Berlin...
At this moment, the German man turned the steering wheel with both hands, glanced out the car window with his blue eyes, and said happily in German: "We're almost there, sir. Where in Berlin are you going? This is the city center of Berlin."
Chi Che was instantly wide awake. He whispered, "Stop, stop, stop! Stop the car! Stop the car, stop the car right now!" The German man was so startled that he slammed on the brakes, and the van came to a screeching halt. He turned to look at Chi Che, who stood up from his seat and walked over to the German man.
The German man's blue eyes widened in surprise as he stared at Chi Che with astonishment. Chi Che looked at the German man with a cold gaze and frowned, saying, "Wait a minute, wait a minute. Let me call my CEO and find out which hotel he's at in Berlin. Then you can take me there."
The German man's blue eyes widened in surprise, flickering with light. After a moment of contemplation, he nodded slightly. Chi Che bowed gratefully, took his phone out of his pocket (it still had over 50 units of battery left), and blinked rapidly in his amber eyes.
Chi Che dialed Xia Jinghao's number. He put the phone to his ear, and the call went through. It rang several times, but no one answered. What was the president doing? Chi Che listened to the ringing of the phone.
His eyebrows twitched slightly, and just as the call was about to hang up automatically, it connected. A low, cold voice came from the other end: "Hey, Chi Che, what's wrong? Where are you? Have you arrived in Berlin?"
Chi Che glanced out the car window and quickly replied, "We're here! We just arrived in the city. I'm in the van. President, which hotel are you at? I'll come over now." Xia Jinghao sat on the bed, wearing a sapphire blue cotton shirt, his long legs crossed, and dark trousers that accentuated his incredibly sexy legs.
His fox-like eyes flickered slightly, his gaze cold. Xia Jinghao moved his petal-like lips and said calmly, "At the St. Carls Hotel, call me when you arrive. I'll have Nan Zeyu and Gu Tingchen come down to the hotel entrance to pick you up. Understand, Chi Che?"
Chi Che was taken aback. Why wasn't the president coming downstairs to pick me up personally? President Nan and President Gu had also come to Germany? He quickly nodded and replied, "Okay, okay, President, I understand. I'll be there now. Hmm, good, hmm."
Chi Che changed seats and sat in the passenger seat. He turned to look at the German man, who turned to look at him with a gentle gaze. Chi Che smiled calmly and said, "Go to the St. Karls Hotel in Berlin. Let's go now. Thank you."
Chi Che's English wasn't very standard. The German man raised his blue eyes slightly and smiled warmly, saying, "No problem, I'll take you there. But, I'm not taking you there myself, sir, it's just..."
As he spoke, the German man gestured with his right hand. Chi Che frowned, then instantly understood. He nodded helplessly and said, "I know, I know. I won't shortchange you. I'm a trustworthy Chinese person. I'll give it to you when we get to the hotel."
The van started up again. Chi Che looked out the window. It was getting dark outside. He leaned back in his seat. He hadn't seen the president for a few days. He wondered if the president had lost weight or gained weight. But why were President Nan and President Gu also in Germany? Chi Che's eyes darted around. Berlin was a bustling city. There was a constant flow of traffic and crowds at the intersections.
Anseong Nan Family Mansion-
Around 8 PM, Shen Jiayi fell asleep on the sofa. Her neck was very sore, so she slowly sat up. She was alone in the living room. How did she fall asleep? She scratched her head in a daze. What time was it? She stood up, supporting herself on the sofa armrest.
As Shen Jiayi walked towards the restaurant, she froze. Song Yuyan, who was sitting at the table, turned around when she heard footsteps. Her eyes were glazed over. Shen Jiayi stepped into the restaurant and walked to the table on the side. She pulled out the chair.
Song Yuyan stuck out her tongue at her shyly, her watery eyes sparkling and clear. She pouted and said, "I'm hungry, so I came to the restaurant to eat first. Sorry, Jiayi, are you hungry? If you are, go eat!"
Shen Jiayi's eyes flickered slightly. She looked confused and tilted her head, saying, "Wait a minute, wasn't I soaking my legs in the hot spring this afternoon? How did I end up asleep on the sofa?" Song Yuyan, chewing on scrambled eggs and beef, mumbled through her red lips, "You were so soaked you passed out, you collapsed by the hot spring. Butler Long carried you in."
Shen Jiayi's eyes widened in surprise. Her eyes, as big as copper bells, were filled with disbelief as she said, "How is that possible? Did I faint from soaking? No, I fainted from soaking..." Song Yuyan stared straight at Shen Jiayi. She nodded, chewing on her beef, her face crinkling into a crescent moon as she said, "Yeah, yeah, that's hilarious! I laughed for half an hour while you were sleeping on the sofa, completely unconscious, hahahahahahahaha."
Shen Jiayi's face darkened, her black gemstone eyes becoming brooding. Song Yuyan stopped laughing, her innocent watery eyes blinking as she looked at Shen Jiayi. She moved closer to her in a conciliatory manner, pressing her small face against Shen Jiayi's right cheek, then moved away, her clear, diamond-like eyes looking at her. She pouted and said, "I was wrong, Jiayi, don't be angry. I was a little worried at the time."
A moment later, Shen Jiayi was indeed hungry. She glanced down at the table: shredded pork fried rice with sweet bean sauce, cucumber and corn kernels, enoki mushroom and beef rolls, cordyceps flower and duck soup, sesame black-boned chicken, herbal stewed mutton, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Shen Jiayi swallowed hard. Three dishes every day, no more than that. She frowned unhappily.
Germany-
At 12:30 pm, the van arrived at the entrance of the St. Carls Hotel. Chi Che immediately dialed Xia Jinghao's number. Xia Jinghao received the call, looked up at Gu Tingchen and Nan Zeyu, his gaze cold and deep. Nan Zeyu looked over with his cold black eyes, while Xia Jinghao's fox-like eyes were as cold as a blade. He said indifferently: "Chi Che has arrived at the hotel entrance. Go down and bring him up."
Chi Che got out of the passenger seat, went to the trunk, took out his suitcase, and pulled it to the hotel entrance. The car door opened, and the German man got out. Chi Che turned his head and walked over. Chi Che took out his wallet from the suitcase, took out a small stack of German coins, and handed them to the German man.
The German man lowered his blue eyes slightly, reached out and took the money. He looked up at Chi Che, who met his gaze with gentle eyes. He smiled helplessly and said, "I've given it all to you. This is the money I brought from Germany. I've given it all to you."
The German man's eyes widened in surprise. He looked down at his palm, took only five German coins, and handed the rest to Chi Che. Chi Che declined several times, but finally nodded and said, "Alright, alright, alright. Thank you for your help along the way. I'm off!"
The German man's blue eyes were as deep as the sea. He smiled gently and said, "You're welcome. Good luck, and may everything go well for you!" He spoke excellent German. Chi Che shook hands with him, then turned around, picked up his suitcase, and walked to the hotel entrance.
Chi Che waited at the hotel entrance for a while. When he saw President Gu and President Nan walking out of the hotel lobby, he quickly picked up his suitcase. Gu Tingchen and Nan Zeyu walked over, and the four long legs stepped out of the hotel entrance. Chi Che turned around.
He bowed and said, "President Nan, President Gu, thank you for coming to meet me." Chi Che straightened up, looking sincerely at the two presidents. Gu Tingchen's dark eyes were cold and unfathomable, while Nan Zeyu's dark eyes were deep and unfathomable as he looked at Chi Che. The two men's thin lips moved slightly as they said, "Yes, let's go. Your president is in his room. Come with me!"
Xia Jinghao sat on the sofa, with Italian tomato meat sauce pasta on the coffee table. Just as he was about to pick up a fork to eat some noodles, the doorbell rang. Xia Jinghao put down his fork, stood up, and strode to the door. He opened the door, and Chi Che's eyes were slightly red, glistening with tears. He threw himself into Xia Jinghao's arms, grabbed his shirt with both hands, and said in a wronged voice, "President, President, I've finally seen you."
Xia Jinghao's fox-like eyes darkened, and he coughed softly. Chi Che realized his actions and quickly released President Xia. Xia Jinghao looked at Chi Che with cold eyes and sharp brows. He pursed his lips and said, "Come in!"
Anseong Nan Family Mansion-
After taking a shower, Shen Jiayi put on a face mask but forgot to blow-dry her hair. After washing off the face mask, Shen Jiayi went into the bathroom to blow-dry her hair. As a result, in the middle of the night, she suddenly felt weak and feverish all over, her forehead was burning, she wanted to open her eyes but her eyelids were too heavy, and her cheeks were burning red.
She frowned in discomfort. Song Yuyan, who was sleeping soundly, heard the sound, turned her head, and was wide awake. She opened her eyes wide, sat up in bed, and moved next to Shen Jiayi. Her body temperature was alarmingly high. She touched Shen Jiayi's forehead, which felt like boiling water. She frowned urgently and said, "Oh my god, Jiayi, you have a fever. Your forehead is so hot. Are you alright...?"
