In her dazed state, Zhu Qianying heard voices, though they were spoken very softly, but one of the men's voices was one she recognized very well.

This voice had frequently and unexpectedly appeared in her dreams over the past five years.

Like now!

However, in the past five years, every time she woke up from a dream, she would find that the person only paused briefly in her dream and never stayed long.

Never before had she seen him like this, standing right there at the foot of the hospital bed when she opened her eyes, ready to reach out and touch him whenever she wanted!

However, after experiencing so many disappointments, she had actually lost the courage to reach out...

After slightly composing herself to her inexplicably low mood, Zhu Qianying opened her mouth, "Young Master Yan..."

The sound was still a bit hoarse, but the volume was obviously much louder than yesterday.

Zhu Qianying tried to swallow her saliva. The intense feeling of foreign object and pain from last night had completely disappeared overnight.

Yan Shao, who was standing at the foot of the bed chatting with the doctor who came to check on him, heard the call, turned his head, and saw Zhu Qianying lying half-reclined with a sleepy and lazy look on her face. He smiled, then strode over and looked down at her gently.

"woke up?"

"Hmm..." Zhu Qianying responded lazily, her mind not yet fully awake.

Yan Shao reached out and touched her forehead. "How are you feeling? Any better?"

Young Master Yan was very gentle, whether it was his hand gestures, his tone of voice, or even the expression on his face.

Zhu Qianying lowered her eyes, deliberately avoiding looking at his excessively handsome face.

"Okay, it's alright now!"

Yan Shao didn't care much about her indifference. He was already pleased that she no longer subconsciously avoided his touch as before. As for the rest, he would take it slowly.

Anyway, he has plenty of time, doesn't he?

"Let the doctor check you out. If everything's fine, we can process your discharge, okay?"

Although Yan Shao really wanted her to stay in the hospital for a couple of days to rest and recover before being discharged, he knew in his heart that she wouldn't let him have his way.

Since it's impossible for him to get what he wants no matter what, he might as well back down and let her have her way.

Anyway, once she gets home, there's a chef to take care of her, so she shouldn't be neglected.

"good!"

Upon hearing that she could be discharged from the hospital, Zhu Qianying immediately became energetic.

Yan Shao was fairly satisfied with the doctor's examination results, and the doctor agreed to Zhu Qianying's request to be discharged from the hospital, only instructing her to eat as lightly as possible after returning home, and most importantly, to pay attention to rest.

Yan Shao silently noted down what the doctor said. After the doctor finished giving instructions, he told Chen Jing not to come. Then, after the doctor brought over a bunch of oral medications for Zhu Qianying for the next two or three days, and asked the doctor to complete the discharge procedures, he accompanied Zhu Qianying home.

Chen Jing got up early in the morning to cook rice porridge and make some soft cakes. Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao returned home, washed their faces, and sat down at the dining table.

Seeing that Zhu Qianying had eaten two bowls of rice porridge and two pieces of cake with a great appetite, Yan Shao was very satisfied and gave further instructions.

"Ying'er, have breakfast and take a nap. Put your work on hold for now. If it really comes down to it, I'll help you cancel those design projects from my friends!"

He had figured it out; it was basically impossible for her to give up her job at Ying Jewelry. So the only option was to target the others.

Zhu Qianying stared at him wide-eyed. "How could you do this? I promised, and I won't go back on my word!"

Her voice was still a little hoarse, but her volume and breath control had basically recovered.

Young Master Yan had witnessed firsthand how stubborn Zhu Qianying was, so he couldn't very well confront her head-on.

"Okay! Okay! You say you don't want to push, then you don't have to, but you have to follow the doctor's instructions, at the very least, you have to maintain a regular schedule!"

Yan Shao felt that he could just stick the "mother" label on his forehead.

He hadn't realized that because he cared, he had unknowingly become a nagging old woman.

Even though the other person is an adult, they always think she's a child who doesn't understand anything and has no sense of propriety...

"oh……"

He took a step back, and Zhu Qianying also took a step back.

After breakfast, Zhu Qianying was sent back to her room to rest by Chen Jing, while Yan Shao, this time, finally managed to sneak into her bedroom by following her.

Her bedroom is decorated mainly in light blue, a color that clearly reflects her calm personality.

In addition, blue also represents tranquility, freedom, and freshness, while light blue represents innocence and purity, which are also inherent qualities in her.

Yan Han looked at the slightly thin figure standing in front of the wardrobe, tidying up clothes, and felt a little emotional. Why couldn't he have seen through these appearances to understand her inner self in the past?

At that time, his main impression of her was that she was sensible and knew when to advance and retreat. Other than that, he thought she was strange!

Actually, if you calm down, it's not hard to see that she's not strange at all, and in front of people she trusts, she's definitely not a difficult person to understand. The only problem is that I, in the past, never calmly observed her, or rather, never tried to understand her.

Filled with emotion and regret, Yan Shao suddenly took a few steps to the wardrobe, gently wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, and intimately rested his chin on her shoulder.

"Hey, girl, let's make up, okay?" Yan Shao said this in a tone that seemed very relaxed, but in fact, he was not without guilt.

Even though he felt guilty, he still wanted to try his best.

Opportunities are always earned, not given away for no reason.

Caught off guard, Zhu Qianying stiffened for a moment, turned around, gently pushed him away, and looked at him with her eyes as black as gemstones, looking at him with utmost seriousness.

"Young Master Yan, do you think we're just arguing?"

In Zhu Qianying's view, she and Yan Han had already become two unrelated individuals on the day she left five years ago, so talking about reconciliation was simply nonsense.

Yan Shao raised an eyebrow. "Isn't that right? Five years ago, you were angry with me because of Yi Wei, so you left, weren't you?"

Zhu Qianying's expression was subtle. She stared at him for a while before saying, "So, you've always thought that I was actually angry with you and jealous of Yi Wei?"

"Isn't that right?"

When the past is brought up, Yan Shao also feels very wronged.

"Girl, can't you be fair? Even if you want me to be convicted, you have to issue a summons first, then hold a trial, and then convict me! At least let me, the defendant, say a few words in my own defense, okay?"

Something flashed in Zhu Qianying's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

"Okay, I'll start the trial now and give you a chance to defend yourself!"
