Seeing her happy expression, Gu Chenye knew he had done the right thing.

"You really like it?" he asked, knowing the answer already.

Yan Yirou nodded vigorously: "I love it! Whenever I go to work at the Chinese medicine pharmacy, I always buy their steamed buns, especially the crab roe soup dumplings. You should try them, aren't they delicious?"

Gu Chenye took a bite and met her gaze: "Delicious."

The steamed buns were delicious.

He's a very nice person...

After successfully recommending steamed buns, Yan Yirou was so happy that she had a big appetite and ate three soup dumplings, four small steamed buns, and a cup of soy milk.

Gu Chenye took care of the rest.

Yan Yirou stared wide-eyed as he devoured the steamed buns one after another!

"No one's going to take it from you, eat slowly," she said.

Gu Chenye swallowed the last bun and said, "I'm used to it."

Yan Yirou thought about his status and didn't try to persuade him. She was mainly worried that if he ate slowly after getting used to it, he would have to work again before he was full when he returned to his post.

"Will Mr. Xu come to see you today?" she asked.

Gu Chenye: "No, they have a mission."

They dared not be tactless.

Are any other friends coming over?

"No."

Gu Chenye didn't tell those guys that he had returned to the capital.

He was afraid that if they came, she would find an excuse to avoid them.

He's been watching those guys for twenty years; he's long since tired of them.

But Gu Chenye was unaware that the eldest branch of the Ji family was making a big fuss outside, using the pretext of visiting him to contact people from several families. As a result, more and more people learned that he was hospitalized.

His childhood friends also found out.

Mu Zhihang is on his way.

Yan Yirou was stunned for a moment.

Just as she was wondering what to do next to pass the time...

Knock knock—

As the knocking sounded, Liu Kui said, "Miss, the Second Madam is here. She says she has something to say to you."

Yan Yirou frowned.

Gu Chenye said gently, "If you don't want to see me, then don't."

Yan Yirou looked at him and stood up: "What's meant to happen will happen. If I try to avoid her, she'll think I'm afraid of her!"

She shoved the remote into his hand and headed for the door.

After opening the door, Yan Yirou walked out of the ward and stood face to face with Madam Yan in the corridor.

"Is something wrong, Auntie?"

"Rou Rou, your sister lost her baby; she miscarried," Madam Yan said with a sorrowful expression.

this……

Yan Yirou offered a dry, unconvincing reassurance: "You can have more children in the future."

Madam Yan felt a lump in her throat.

Her daughter will definitely have children in the future.

Fortunately, she hadn't come here to hear her comfort. She lowered her voice and got straight to the point: "Rou Rou, tell your second aunt the truth, can the Ji family get Xian Li out of here?"

To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, Yan Yirou didn't tell the truth: "Second Aunt, you've asked the wrong person. How would I know anything about the Ji family's abilities?"

Madam Yan the Second probed, "You didn't ask the wrong question. The Fourth Young Madam's involvement means that the Gu family is also involved. If the Gu family insists on putting Xianli in jail, then the Ji family shouldn't be able to get past the Gu family, right?"

Yan Yirou pretended to be stupid: "Wu Bao didn't tell me. I really don't know anything about what you're talking about, Auntie."

Madam Yan was displeased, but she didn't show it on her face. She played the emotional card: "Rou Rou, we are family, right? Family members should love each other and help each other. You helped Xuan Xuan this time, and Xuan Xuan will help you next time."

It's already a miracle that Yan Yixuan didn't take the opportunity to kick him while he was down.

How could I possibly help her?

Yan Yirou didn't believe her at all, and said in a calm voice, "Second Aunt, you say that family members should love each other, but you want me to let go of the people who hurt me..."

If that's what family members are like, then I'm sorry, I'd rather not have them.

"No, I'm not asking you to let Xianli go."

Madam Yan quickly denied it: "He broke the law and should be punished. I feel sorry for Xuanxuan. She just lost her child and now Xianli is in jail. How will she manage on her own?"

muddle along?

Yan Yirou didn't say anything, afraid of being beaten.

Madam Yan sighed, "Alas, if only I had stopped Xuanxuan more back then. Rou Rou, you were so farsighted. Now I just hope Xuanxuan can recover quickly. After she is discharged from the hospital, can you take her to the Chinese medicine pharmacy? I'm worried she won't want to go out."

After a slight pause, Yan Yirou suggested, "Second Aunt, the Chinese medicine pharmacy is crowded and noisy. Why don't you take her out shopping more often, have afternoon tea, or go to a resort to relax?"

Her second aunt wouldn't do anything without a reason; I wonder what she's up to now.

But targeting traditional Chinese medicine pharmacies is absolutely unacceptable!

Yan Yirou refused without even thinking.

Madam Yan hadn't expected her niece to agree on the first try; she was just testing the waters, since Xuanxuan was still a long way from being discharged from the hospital.

"That's fine. I'll feel at ease knowing that you two sisters can look after each other."

Madam Yan smiled and said, "Your sister can't be left alone, so I'll head over there first. I'll go home later. Is there anything you and Chenye want to eat? I'll bring it over for you."

"No need, Auntie, our meals are all prepared by the Gu family's chef." Actually, breakfast wasn't prepared that way, but Yan Yirou didn't want to feel indebted to someone who would pay for her food.

But Madam Yan the Second did not play by the rules.

"Isn't it delicious?"

"not bad."

Yan Yirou had a meal at the Gu family's house, which could be described as a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.

Madam Yan asked ingratiatingly, "Rou Rou, could you ask them to make an extra portion for Xuan Xuan tomorrow? Xuan Xuan doesn't have a good appetite, and I'm so worried about her."

Yan Yirou: "..."

What a big face!

However, since they were elders, it wouldn't be good to refuse repeatedly. Thinking it was just a meal, nothing serious, she agreed: "Okay."

Madam Yan left satisfied.

Yan Yirou watched her retreating figure, then turned and went back to the ward.

Gu Chenye was watching the military channel when he saw her come in. He frowned slightly, turned down the volume, and asked, "Were you bullied?"

"No." Yan Yirou shook her head.

“My second aunt asked us what we wanted to eat, and she said she would bring it for us. I told her that our meals were made by your chef, and she asked if I could make an extra portion for Yan Yixuan, and I agreed.” Yan Yirou’s brows furrowed even more.

Gu Chenye thought it was something serious and waved to her.

Yan Yirou walked up to him.

Gu Chenye said, "Bend down."

"What?" Yan Yirou subconsciously bent over.

Gu Chenye raised his hand and gently smoothed her furrowed brows: "It's just making an extra dish, it won't take much time, don't worry about it."

Yan Yirou was astonished: "You think so too?"

Why did she always feel like she had been taken advantage of after entering the room?

This matter is probably not that simple.

Yan Yirou wanted to discuss this with Shangguan Wu when suddenly there was a loud knocking on the door.

The next second, a deep male voice pierced through: "Gu San, your father is here to see you, hurry up and open the door!"

Upon hearing this voice, Gu Chenye's handsome face instantly darkened.

"Get out!" he roared.

Yan Yirou stared in disbelief, thinking to herself, "Who is this person?"

No, if this person took advantage of Gu Chenye, then wouldn't he also have taken advantage of her?
