Chapter 139

When Shi Ye came out of the operating room, he saw a new message notification on his mobile phone. He unlocked it with a bit of anxiety, only to find that it was a message from Liu Shuo.

One said that he had sent Jiang Zhinian home safely, and the other told Shi Ye that he had blown up Zhao Zean's Mamen Coin account last night, clearing it all overnight, and he was so happy.

This plan was formulated by the two of them after they confirmed that Zhao Ze'an was the person who spread rumors and parasites. The purpose was to snipe his overseas accounts and no longer give him the opportunity to hide in the dark.

Shi Ye closed the chat page with Liu Shuo and returned to the top frame. Jiang Zhinian's avatar was looking at him quietly without saying a word.

He felt an inexplicable anxiety in his heart. His original plan was to find some books or materials to study how to deal with this situation, but he has been inexplicably busy since the afternoon until now.

I simply can't spare the time to study the problem, so naturally I haven't figured out how to solve it.

Sighing, Shi Ye opened the locker door of the dressing room and began to change his clothes.

Zheng Chengfei walked in humming a little tune. As usual, he greeted Shi Ye's abdominal muscles and then started gossiping: "That woman in labor you brought back this morning, luckily she didn't actually run away. I heard from the nurse in the obstetrics department that she fainted after returning home. She has severe anemia."

Zheng Chengfei has been following the young nurse in the obstetrics department recently and knows more about the situation there.

"How's the child?"

"Hey, the child is even more troublesome. It seems he was asphyxiated at birth. The neonatal score is only 5 points. He has been sent to the incubator. We may need further examination to find out the specific cause of the problem. However, the subsequent expenses... I don't think it will be cheap."

Shi Ye paused, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zheng Chengfei didn't notice that something was wrong with Shi Ye, and continued to chatter away, "I don't know what's going on in the obstetrics department lately. Maybe they didn't do a good job at the beginning of the year. You know that patient with preeclampsia last time? She just wanted to be discharged, but she was admitted back not long after. No matter how much I tried to persuade her, it was useless. She insisted on having the baby."

"And then there was that car accident, the placental abruption, the baby is gone, and she's been making a scene at the hospital every day. Really, if she hadn't been lucky enough to have Director Su perform the surgery, she might not have been able to save her uterus. And yet she still has the nerve to blame the hospital for not saving the baby."

Shi Ye changed his clothes and said to Zheng Chengfei calmly, "If you keep gossiping like this, all the nurses in the hospital will be your sisters in the future."

Zheng Chengfei has a bumpy love life. It's not that he is unpopular with women, on the contrary, he is too good to women. Any nurse in the hospital who is a little interested in him treats him as a female friend and tells him all their secrets. When they become too familiar with each other, they feel embarrassed to make a move.

…

After returning home, Shi Ye first glanced into the living room. There was no one on the sofa, only a small floor lamp left on for him.

If it were usual, no matter how late he came back, Jiang Zhinian would wait for him on the sofa.

Shi Ye realized that things might be really bad, but he was really not good at dealing with this kind of situation. He had imagined many situations and found a lot of information to set up countermeasures, but none of them told him how to solve the current situation.

He walked to the door of the master bedroom and stood quietly for a while, raised his hand and put it down again, looked around, and went to the bathroom to wash up first before walking back to the master bedroom and knocking on the door.

Jiang Zhinian actually heard the sound when Shi Ye closed the door, but she hid under the quilt and didn't move, thinking of waiting for Shi Ye to come to the room to find her, but Shi Ye didn't know what he was dawdling about. He delayed for so long and just didn't come in.

I finally heard the sound of approaching footsteps, but what followed was not the sound of the door opening, but a knock on the door.

Jiang Zhinian was full of questions. Why would he knock on the door in his own home?

So what should she do now? She can't just say "Come in"...

Or he should pretend to be asleep and wait for Shi Ye to come in by himself. Jiang Zhinian closed his eyes and wrapped himself tightly with the quilt. As a result, after waiting for a while, he actually heard the footsteps of Shi Ye going away.

What's going on? Did he think I was angry and didn't let him sleep in the master bedroom, so he went to sleep in the study?

Jiang Zhinian waited for a while, but couldn't wait any longer, so she simply lifted the quilt and sat down. She looked down at her pajamas, guiltily found a coat to put on her shoulders, and walked barefoot to the door of the study.

I leaned over to the door and listened, but there seemed to be no sound. Could it be that he was already asleep?

She gently pushed open the door. It was pitch black inside, with only moonlight shining on the bed. She couldn't see if there was anyone lying there.

Jiang Zhinian walked in on tiptoe and was thinking of sneaking up on the bed to launch a sneak attack when someone suddenly grabbed her waist and the small jacket on her shoulders fell to the ground. Jiang Zhinian screamed and heard Shi Ye's voice.

"It's me."

"You...what are you doing?"

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this question?"

Jiang Zhinian thought of the pajamas she was wearing and felt a moment of shame and panic. She clasped Shi Ye's arms with both hands to prevent him from turning on the light.

"Do you want to go to bed first?"

Shi Ye teased her: "What are you doing on the bed?"

Jiang Zhinian was silent for a moment, then decided to play dumb: "Sleep...what else can I do?"

Shi Ye's big hands stroked back and forth along the curve of her lower back, and he chuckled: "Are you still angry with me?"

Jiang Zhinian trembled when he touched her, and whispered, "I wasn't angry to begin with, I just... didn't know what to do."

"So what now, do you understand?"

Jiang Zhinian hummed, and leaned softly in his arms: "I believe and support the decision you made."

Shi Ye breathed a sigh of relief. He had just come to the study room with the intention of thinking that since Jiang Zhinian was asleep, he might as well look for some information online and do some research so that they could solve their problems together tomorrow morning.

Unexpectedly, he heard the door of the master bedroom opening just after he turned on the computer. He simply closed the screen, turned off the lights, and went to the door of the study to wait. Unexpectedly, he really caught a little rabbit.

"Why did you pretend to be asleep just now?"

Jiang Zhinian felt the strength of that big hand kneading her, and awkwardly grabbed his hand: "Don't, don't do this."

The pajamas she wore were of a rather special style. She had seen them online by chance one time, so she bought them and had kept them hidden in the closet. She only wore them for the first time today.

If Shi Ye moved his hand a little lower, he would soon discover something strange about his body, and he would definitely want to turn on the light to take a look.

Her face only allowed this pajamas to appear under the quilt, not...

"This is..." Shi Ye paused, obviously having discovered something unusual but unable to confirm it.

Jiang Zhinian tried to grab his hand, but an adult male's wrist often has indescribable strength, and he broke free with just a slight movement. Jiang Zhinian wanted to run, but the soft flesh below his lower back was held tightly, and he couldn't escape at all.
