Chapter 223: Throwing Checks

"And then you secretly followed us in? And you even specifically chose a place where we could be seen?"

"……Um."

"Was it your idea to let him kiss you?"

"No, no, no, it wasn't him who kissed me, it was me who kissed him. No, I didn't even kiss him!" Du Yihuan shuddered and hurriedly waved her hands in denial, afraid that if she hesitated for even a second longer, Ye Wanxi would slap her on the head like she did that day when she slammed the stone table!

"Back then, you sat together eating hot pot, chatting and laughing, even sharing food with each other..."

"It was my agent who served me food; Young Master Bai never served me food."

Gao Min served her food because she was worried that she might overindulge in too much meat and gain weight, making her less photogenic on variety shows.

"Oh, is that so? We seemed to have been focusing on you and that young master Bai back then, and didn't pay much attention to your manager."

"..." Your words are a bit harsh, even though they don't hurt her heart.

"Anyway, that's pretty much what happened. My older brother... got jealous, and coincidentally, you guys found out about us around that time. So I suggested to my older brother that we go all out and test your feelings for my older brother."

"So, you leaned over and kissed him?"

"Yes. No, no, no, it's not right. It was just a fake kiss. It was really just a fake one." Du Yihuan emphasized with a strong survival instinct, "I noticed it when we came in. There was a potted plant next to our seats. From your angle, it could block part of our table."

“My brother didn’t know what I was going to do. I was worried that he wouldn’t cooperate, so I gave him a heads-up beforehand and told him not to move around no matter what happened. When I went over, the potted plants blocked most of the way, and it looked like we were close together, but actually we were at least this far apart and didn’t even touch each other.”

To enhance credibility, Du Yihuan gestured with her hands as she spoke.

"But I never expected to use too much force and make you run away in anger, sister-in-law." Du Yihuan said, as if she wanted to put a pot lid on her head and was ready to die. "I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again, sister-in-law, please don't hit my head."

Ye Wanxi was amused by her flustered and timid expression: "Don't worry, he already explained it to me that day. I'm not angry anymore, I won't hit your head."

Du Yihuan felt as if she had been granted a pardon, and she could finally relax a little after all this time.

While letting out a sigh of relief, she didn't forget to express her determination: "Thank you, sister-in-law. Don't worry, Auntie and I are on your side. If my brother ever makes you angry again, just tell me, and we'll definitely help you beat him up!"

Ye Wanxi chuckled: "He won't make me angry."

Du Yihuan thought about it and agreed. Her older brother liked his sister-in-law so much, how could he bear to make her angry?

Unexpectedly, Ye Wanxi added quietly the next second: "However, if he ever makes me angry, I can beat him up myself."

"!!!" That's right, with my sister-in-law's fighting skills, she doesn't need their help at all. When she gets angry during an argument, she'll just slap her.

Ouch, that's really intense... Dude, you'd better pray for yourself!

Feng Tianyu, who was still sitting in the car on the way back, suddenly shivered and felt a strange sense of danger.

"This rabbit..." Ye Wanxi noticed that Du Yihuan had also brought a pet cage after finishing a bowl of soup. Inside was a lop-eared rabbit of the same breed as Yuanyuan.

However, this rabbit is larger than Yuanyuan in both size and fur length.

"This is just my pet, named Fangfang."

Ye Wanxi's eyes flickered slightly: "Your brother also has one, named Yuanyuan."

"Yes, that rabbit was bought by my aunt for my older brother. At that time, my aunt and I were preparing to travel around the world and would probably be away from home for a long time. My aunt was worried that my older brother would be lonely at home alone, so when I bought the rabbit, she also picked one out for him so that he could keep a rabbit to keep him company when he was alone at home."

"So that's how it is."

"I thought you must be feeling quite bored in this hospital, so I brought it with me. If you like it, you can keep it for a few days to keep you company and help you pass the time."

Du Yihuan spoke in a grand and respectable manner, but in reality, she had only heard that Ye Wanxi liked rabbits, and that her first encounter with her older brother was because of the rabbit at his house.

That's why I brought the little one here, thinking that if Ye Wanxi wanted to pat her head again, I would pat her lightly for the sake of my own child and spare her life.

Ye Wanxi was unaware of her little schemes. She looked at Fangfang's body, which was even more exaggeratedly fat than Yuanyuan's, and her fluffy fur that looked incredibly soft to the touch.

Unable to resist the temptation, she smiled and asked, "Can I hug it?"

"Of course!" Du Yihuan pinched her chubby cub's armpit and pulled it out of its nest.

While hugging him, he murmured to himself, "My little one, be good. Your future depends entirely on you. If you behave well, I'll make you some dried radish when we get home!"

Before Du Yihuan could finish speaking, the big rabbit in her arms eagerly pounced forward, its hind legs kicking so hard that its owner's arm turned red.

Du Yihuan was momentarily stunned by her rabbit's hasty escape. When she came to her senses, she saw that her rabbit had already snuggled into the arms of its target, rubbing against him with a blissful expression, thoroughly enjoying itself.

"???" Kid, something's not right! You've never been this affectionate with me, except for Yuanyuan!

Seemingly sensing Du Yihuan's inexplicably mournful gaze, Ye Wanxi couldn't help but stroke the large rabbit in her arms again, saying somewhat guiltily, "Um, your rabbit is quite affectionate, not afraid of strangers at all."

"..." No, no, no, it's only for you.

Regardless, the goal was achieved. Although she felt a little sad, Du Yihuan quickly adjusted her mindset and took out a check from her pocket.

"Oh, right, and this too. Auntie asked me to give this to you, saying..."

Before he could finish speaking, the ward door clicked open again.

"Wanxi, I brought your little rabbit over..."

Gao Min's voice stopped abruptly, and the eyes of the three people inside and outside the house met in an instant.

"..."

"..."

"..." What's going on today? One or two people barge in without knocking, don't they have any manners?

Ye Wanxi was feeling very upset and was about to explain to Gao Min when she saw Gao Min suddenly dart to her bedside.

Spreading her arms wide like a mother hen protecting her chicks, she shielded Ye Wanxi behind her and roared indignantly at Du Yihuan, "So, you little vixen, not only did you barge into our house and bully our Wanxi, but you also dared to insult us with a check. Get out of here, you're not welcome!"

Du Yihuan: "???"

Ye Wanxi: “…”
