MY VERY BRAVE WIFE
Chapter 10
Zhao Lifei groaned to herself when she woke up groggy the next morning, her body hurting again.
"I have to stop the bad habit of sleeping on random surfaces." He sighed after realizing he was asleep on the piano.
Standing up, he stretched his body, feeling the stiffness in his joints the more he stretched. After brushing her teeth and taking a morning shower, she prepared a light breakfast for herself. He sat at a counter table overlooking the living room and the window. Swinging his legs, he sipped his morning coffee and read the daily newspaper.
He groaned when his phone suddenly died. Who called so early? It was only seven o'clock.
His eyes flickered in surprise when he saw Yang Ruqin's caller ID. As soon as he picked it up, Yang Ruqin's panicked voice spoke to the phone. "Feifei, what blood type are you ?!" Yang Ruqin rushed out, skipping all sorts of greetings.
Zhao Lifeis face became serious. His qinqin would never miss his usual greeting unless something terrible and important had happened.
"My blood is AB negative, why? What's up?" He asked, jumping from the bar stool he was sitting on.
From another line, Yang Ruqin heaved a sigh of relief. AB negative, just what he needs!
"Where are you now? Do you think you can get to the First Hospital in the next ten minutes?"
Zhao Lifei was pulled back by his words. The First Hospital? In ten minutes? Is there an emergency?
"I'll try to speed up the cab, but I can't promise." He picked up his coat and bag, then walked out of his condo.
"Okay, please hurry!" Yang Ruqin pleaded, her voice becoming more anxious.
"What's wrong? Is there an emergency? Are you all right?" Zhao Lifei asked, running down the hallway and towards the elevator.
It opened in seconds but with a different elevator host this time. Instead of the ordinary woman he saw, it was a man who seemed to be a new worker.
"Please get to the ground floor." Zhao Lifei quickly told the man.
"A-I'm fine, t-but my brother ..." Yang Ruqin could barely form a word or sentence as she spoke to him. He looked shaken and every second, his voice began to tremble.
"Your brother? Which one?" Zhao Lifei tried to distract Yang Ruqin from the dire situation she was in.
He knew it was best to calm her down by trying to shift the topic.
Yang Ruqin snorted. "The older ..." He said calmly. Then there was a commotion in the background and the phone was turned off.
Zhao Lifei frowned, glanced at the phone and tried to call back Yang Ruqin, but she did not reply. He rushed out of the elevator.
Fortunately, the streets of Shenbei were filled with taxis and he was able to quickly wave.
"Please call the First Hospital within ten minutes." Zhao Lifei hurriedly took out two hundred dollars and put them in a jar.
Sitting in the car, Zhao Lifei anxiously************* his finger. Her soft brows fused together as she thought of what the possibility could be.
Yang Ruqin had two elder brothers and she was very dear to both of them. They are ideal, protective and loving brothers. She loved them both so much and would risk everything for them, so for something to happen to them, of course, her first reaction was to panic.
Within eight minutes, Zhao Lifei had reached the hospital. He hurriedly paid the driver and put more money into the jar before rushing to the hospital.
He called Yang Ruqin again and on the first ring, he picked her up. "Qinqin, which room are you in? I just arrived."
"I'm on the first floor, near the emergency department!" Said Yang Ruqin, suddenly standing up happily.
"I'm on my way there." Zhao Lifei quickly rushed to the emergency unit by following the signs and within two minutes, he had reached Yang Ruqin.
Yang Ruqin anxiously paced back and forth, chewing on her nails.
"Qinqin!" Zhao Lifei called out, walking towards him.
"Flamei!" Yang Ruqin quickly went to Zhao Lifei.
Once he was within arm's distance, he tightly hugged Zhao Lifei — clinging to him like a koala.
"What's wrong? Why are you asking me my blood type?" Zhao Lifei asked, staring at the tall man surrounding the vast hallway. The men were very sturdy and all wore sunglasses. He recognized them as bodyguards, but did not expect so many of them.
"My brother! He was in a serious accident and needed a blood transfusion. But there were a lot of emergencies in the hospital and they ran out of negative AB blood in their storage unit!" Yang Ruqin complained, inwardly cursing the hospital.
He would complain to his parents! Yangs was not a power that could be confounded. Their power and wealth were even crazier than the Zhao family, and their influence was endless.
With a share in different businesses ranging from hotels, oil, restaurants, military, government, and politics, they are a very strong family with enormous support. How could they bleed out AB negative at such a crucial moment? Especially when they have CEO Yang Enterprise in their care ?!
"I know this is a very strange question but—"
"Of course, please take my blood." Zhao Lifei did not even need a profound explanation.
Yang Ruqin's eyes sparkled happily. "really?! You're the best, Feifei!" He exclaimed, jumping up and down.
Zhao Lifei laughed at his energizer bunny.
Yang Ruqin turned her head towards one of her guards. "My wife here says she's gonna donate her blood, so call a doctor!" He booked. The man quickly rushed away without a word.
Yang Ruqin turned to face Zhao Lifei again. "Oh Feifei, I don't know what I can do without you!" He hugged her tighter, not wanting to let go of his beloved best friend.
