As soon as Chen Du finished speaking, he heard Yuan Bao's worried voice.

"Is Great-Grandpa in the hospital? Is he feeling unwell? Is he sick?"

As Yuanbao continued asking questions, his tone suddenly became somewhat anxious.

Chen Du suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and quickly said, "It's alright, Grandpa is just feeling a little unwell, he'll be fine in a while."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Zhao's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Grandpa Shen is in the hospital? Is he alright?"

Shen Du paused for a second before saying, "It's nothing, I'm just feeling a little unwell..."

Ye Zhao's voice betrayed her worry: "Why were you suddenly hospitalized? Are you sick?"

Chen Du slowly replied, "No, I'm just not feeling well, but the doctor said it's not serious..."

Even so, Ye Zhao was still thinking about visiting him, since he had always been very good to her, and Yuanbao, as his great-grandson, should be visited at this time.

She thought for a few seconds and then said, "Well, since I'm going back to City A soon anyway, I'll bring Yuanbao over to visit him..."

After all, the elderly love children, and seeing Yuanbao jumping around might cheer him up and even help with his condition.

Chen Du did not refuse and replied, "Alright, are you coming over in the next couple of days? I'll arrange for someone to pick you up..."

After saying that, perhaps worried that Ye Zhao would refuse, he quickly added, "The matter of the child has just been exposed. I'm afraid you might encounter other situations if you come on your own."

Ye Zhao initially wanted to refuse, but after hearing Shen Du's next sentence, she thought that what he said made sense, so she replied, "Okay, in the next couple of days, I'll pack up and bring Yuanbao over."

As if afraid she would change her mind, Shen Du immediately said, "Okay, I'll have Yang Xu book the plane for you."

Ye Zhao was about to say something when Shen Du hung up the phone, leaving no room for refusal.

Ye Zhao stared at the disconnected phone, speechless for a moment. "Fine, I'll arrange it."

Cheng Yu sat to the side, looked up at her, and asked, "Are you going back to City A?"

Ye Zhao nodded: "Yes, Grandpa Shen is in the hospital, so it's only right and proper that we visit him."

Knowing Old Master Shen's attitude towards Ye Zhao, Cheng Yu nodded and said, "We should go. Can you manage on your own with Yuanbao?"

Ye Zhao knew that she had been lazy and didn't want to go out lately, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine. Chen Du will send someone to pick you up."

Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Alright, I'm really too lazy to go out."

"You stay paralyzed, I can go by myself."

After saying that, Ye Zhao picked up her phone and sent a message to Jiang Che about it.

The two were naturally happy to see each other again so soon after parting ways, and they were filled with an indescribable sense of anticipation.

Several more days passed after she left, and Ye Zhao began to explain what to do after she left.

Meanwhile, Chen Du, after hanging up the phone, had a slight smile on his lips, but then, as if thinking of something, the smile faded and his brows furrowed slightly.

Ye Zhao received Yang Xu's flight information that evening. It was a flight at noon the next day, which wasn't too late. This time was just right, and she could still make it to the hospital that night.

To her surprise, Shen Du personally came to pick her up at the airport the next day.

He was still dressed in a formal suit, but not the usual somber black; instead, he wore a royal blue suit with exquisite buttons and cufflinks. His hair was styled in a slicked-back look, and he appeared very energetic.

"Why is it you here? Aren't you busy?" Ye Zhao asked with a puzzled look as she approached, leading Yuanbao by the hand.

Chen Du bent down and picked up Yuanbao, replying softly, "Not busy today. Are you hungry? Let's go get something to eat first?"

Ye Zhao shook her head and said, "I'm not hungry. I ate before boarding the plane. Let's go to the hospital first."

Chen Du nodded and said, "Alright."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuanbao chimed in, chattering away to Shen Du about recent events.

Chen Du listened only halfway, his attention irresistibly drawn to Ye Zhao beside him.

In contrast to him, Ye Zhao was completely oblivious to what the two people beside her were doing. She was engrossed in replying to messages, occasionally letting out a smile.

It was clearly a gentle and bright smile, but Shen Du found it particularly glaring. He turned his head away from Ye Zhao and listened attentively to Yuan Bao's words.

After only a few days apart, Xiao Yuanbao had a lot to say. Even after getting on the bus, he was still chattering away with Chen Du, occasionally mentioning Jiang Che's name. Chen Du didn't really want to listen, but he had no choice but to.

Fortunately, after a short while, Xiao Yuanbao started to feel sleepy and snuggled into Shen Du's arms, drifting off to sleep.

Ye Zhao stopped hearing his chattering and looked up. Seeing this, she grabbed a blanket from the side and handed it to Chen Du: "Cover him up..."

Chen Du paused for a moment, nodded and took it. After carefully wrapping the ingot, he turned to look at Ye Zhao, wanting to break the silence, but he didn't know what to talk about or how to start the conversation in a natural and unobtrusive way. In this dilemma, he missed the best opportunity, and the two arrived at the hospital in silence.

When the two arrived, Old Master Shen was lying on the hospital bed, quietly staring at the ceiling, seemingly lost in thought, with a very serious expression.

"Grandpa Chen!" Ye Zhao called out, smiling as she walked over.

When Grandpa Shen turned his head and saw her, his serious expression instantly softened, and his eyes and brows relaxed: "Zhaozhao is here?"

Just as she finished speaking, she saw Chen Du carrying Yuanbao in. Ye Zhao's eyes lit up the moment she saw him, and she became even more radiant.

"Yuanbao's here too? Why's he asleep? Is he exhausted?"

Looking at his concerned expression, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "I didn't sleep on the plane at noon, but I fell asleep in the car."

As she spoke, she walked over and asked gently, "How are you? Are you feeling better?"

With the help of the maid, Grandpa Shen slowly sat up and said with a smile, "What could be wrong with me? I'm fine, good child, don't worry..."

Seeing that he seemed to be in good spirits, Ye Zhao breathed a slight sigh of relief and then changed the subject.

Shen Du carefully showed Yuanbao to Old Master Shen, then turned and went to another room. When he came out again, Yuanbao was no longer in his arms.

Meeting Ye Zhao's gaze, he said in a low voice, "I'll put him in the room to sleep for a while."

Ye Zhao nodded and continued chatting with Grandpa Shen until six o'clock. Then she turned to Chen Du and asked, "Should Yuanbao stay here today or should I take him with me?"

Chen Du was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Where are you going? I'll have Yang Xu..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped, his expression freezing slightly, and then replied, "Leave the child with me."
