It Started With a Kiss: Leng Shao's Beloved Wife

Chapter 154: The Mystery of the Sick Shadow: The Secret History

The noise of the celebration banquet seemed to be muted, and all eyes were focused on Wu Xinyan.

Luo Yichen's anxiety was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

The doctor arrived quickly and looked serious after an examination.

In the following days, Wu Xinyan's health deteriorated.

His face was as pale as a piece of thin paper, and his once bright eyes were covered with a shadow.

The doctor advised her to stay in bed and rest.

However, the Roche Group had just undergone a huge transformation and had a lot of work to do. It was a critical moment when she was needed to take charge of the situation.

Wu Xinyan lay in bed, listening to the faint ringing of the phone and the employees' discussions outside the window, feeling extremely anxious.

She forced herself to get out of bed, but was stopped by Luo Yichen.

"Xinyan, your health is the most important." Luo Yichen's voice was low and firm, with a hint of imperceptible worry.

"But the company..." Wu Xinyan's voice was weak, but full of unwillingness.

"I will take care of everything, you just rest and recuperate." Luo Yichen gently pushed her back onto the bed, his eyes full of pity.

Just then, Mr. Luo walked in with a cane.

He looked at Wu Xinyan, whose face was pale, with a frown on his face.

"Xinyan, if you're not feeling well, take a good rest. Leave the company's affairs to Yichen and the other directors."

Wu Xinyan bit her lip, feeling aggrieved.

"Grandpa, I know you care about me, but the company is at a critical juncture right now, and I can't..."

"Nonsense!" Master Luo banged his cane hard. "What critical period is more important than your health? If you collapse, what will happen to the Luo Group?"

"I..." Wu Xinyan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Master Luo, "What do you mean by 'you'? Do you still have your elders in your eyes? Do you still have this family?"

Wu Xinyan's eyes were red, and she turned her head away, not wanting Mr. Luo to see the tears in her eyes.

"Grandpa, you don't understand..."

"I don't understand?" Master Luo sneered, "I don't think you understand! You've even disregarded your own health for the sake of your so-called company. You're disregarding the overall situation!"

Wu Xinyan turned her head suddenly, her eyes full of stubbornness.

"I'm not disregarding the overall situation, I just..."

"You are just what?" Master Luo pressed.

Wu Xinyan took a deep breath and fought back tears, "I just don't want the Luo Group to be destroyed in my hands!"

Master Luo looked at her, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He sighed, turned and left the room.

Wu Xinyan lay on the bed, tears silently falling.

She clenched her fists tightly, feeling powerless.

At this time, the door was gently pushed open, and Luo Yichen walked in with a bowl of steaming soup.

"Xinyan, I made some soup for you, have some."

Wu Xinyan looked at him, her eyes filled with gratitude...

Wu Xinyan leaned weakly against the head of the bed. Luo Yichen scooped up a spoonful of soup, blew it gently to cool it down, and then brought it to her lips.

The aroma of the soup filled the air, with a faint medicinal scent, but it could not cover up Luo Yichen's deep love.

Wu Xinyan sipped it in small sips, feeling the warmth of the soup flow down her throat into her stomach, warming her heart as well.

Luo Yichen's gaze remained on her face, so gentle that it seemed to melt everything.

He wiped the soup stains from the corners of her mouth, as gently as if he were treating a treasure.

Wu Xinyan saw endless worry and affection in his eyes, which made her feel extremely relieved and warm.

At the same time, Scholar Sun, who was buried in a pile of old papers, had been looking for a secret recipe that could help Wu Xinyan recover her health at the instruction of Master Luo.

He carefully flipped through the yellowed ancient books, his eyes sparkling with excitement under the thick lenses.

Suddenly, he sat up straight, and the pages of the book in his hand made a crisp sound.

"Found it!" he whispered excitedly, his voice trembling.

This is a book that records the ancient secret history of the family. It actually contains some ancient records about health preservation. It records a special medicinal material and a unique formula that may be helpful to Wu Xinyan's body.

Scholar Sun did not dare to delay. He immediately sorted out the information and hurried to Luo Yichen's study.

"Mr. Luo, I found an ancient recipe that may be helpful for your wife's condition!" Scholar Sun said hurriedly, handing the information in his hand to Luo Yichen.

Luo Yichen took the information, read it carefully, and his brows gradually relaxed.

He raised his head and looked at Scholar Sun with burning eyes, "Mr. Sun, what you mean is..."

Scholar Sun pushed his glasses up and said cautiously, "This is just a record from our ancient family books. The specific effects still need further verification. However, I think it's worth a try."

Luo Yichen's eyes were firm, "There is no time to lose, let's get ready now!" He stood up, picked up his coat, and strode out.

Scholar Sun followed closely behind, his heart filled with anticipation and anxiety.

Wu Xinyan looked at Luo Yichen's hurriedly leaving back, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.

"Yi Chen, where are you going?" she asked softly, with a hint of trembling in her voice.

Luo Yichen stopped, turned around and looked at her, with hope glimmering in his eyes.

"Xinyan, I found a way that might cure you..." He walked to the bedside, held her hand, and said firmly but gently, "Believe me, you will get better soon."

Wu Xinyan looked into his eyes, her heart full of hope, yet mixed with a hint of inexplicable fear.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end nothing came out.

Luo Yichen held her hand tightly, as if he wanted to transfer all his strength to her.

Suddenly, there was a hurried knock on the door from Butler Wu. "Sir, the master requires you to go to the study immediately. There is something important to discuss!" Luo Yichen's face instantly became solemn...

He turned to look at Wu Xinyan, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, "Wait for me to come back."

Luo Yichen hurried to the study, where Master Luo was sitting upright with a terribly gloomy expression.

"Yi Chen, take a look at this!" Master Luo threw a document on the table with a cold tone.

Luo Yichen picked up the document, glanced through it quickly, and his expression became solemn.

The document clearly stated that the Wu family intended to take back the dowry, on the grounds that Wu Xinyan was unfilial and had not fulfilled her responsibilities as a wife.

Luo Yichen clenched his fists, a flash of anger in his eyes.

He knew that the Wu family was deliberately making things difficult for him, and was trying to take advantage of Xinyan's serious illness to rob him.

At the same time, Wu Xinyan began to take special medicine according to the ancient recipe provided by scholar Sun.

Miraculously, in just a few days, her complexion showed significant improvement and her originally weak body gradually regained its vitality.

This astonishing change shocked the entire Luo family, especially the conservative members who had previously questioned Wu Xinyan. They began to look at her with admiration and admired her tenacity and perseverance.

After recovering a little, Wu Xinyan immediately devoted herself to family affairs.

With her unique understanding of the family's secret history and her reflections during her illness in bed, she proposed a new development direction - combining the Roche Group's traditional industries with modern technology to create a new business empire.

This bold and innovative idea was unanimously agreed upon by family members, and everyone was full of hope for the future.

However, the good times did not last long.

Just as the Roche Group was preparing to make great strides in its new direction, disturbing news arrived.

The external forces that had previously coveted the family's secret history seemed to have made new moves, and this time their target was not only the secret history, but the entire Luo Group.

After Wu Xinyan and Luo Yichen received the news, they immediately held an emergency meeting.

The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn, and everyone felt the oppressive feeling of impending storm.

Wu Xinyan glanced at everyone with a determined look. "I know everyone is worried, but we can't lose our composure. We must unite and face this challenge together!"

Suddenly, Wu Xinyan's cell phone rang, breaking the tense silence.

She glanced at the caller ID and her face turned pale instantly.

"It's...Butler Wu..." She answered the phone tremblingly, "...What?...I know..." Wu Xinyan hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "Butler Wu said...the Wu family...has filed a lawsuit in court, demanding the division of the Luo Group's property..." Luo Yichen stood up suddenly and held her hand, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." His voice was low and firm, but it couldn't hide the anger surging deep in his eyes.

Outside the window, the night is dark and a storm is coming...
