Yan Yirou walked to the counter, stared blankly at the two medicine packets, and asked, "Isn't this Coptis chinensis?"

Shangguan Wu smiled and said, "If you only want Coptis chinensis, then I don't mind. I'll change it for you."

"No need to change! This one is fine, bye!"

Yan Yirou quickly hugged the medicine packet to her chest and, amidst Shangguan Wu's laughter, ran out of the Chinese medicine pharmacy as if fleeing.

When she returned to the hospital, she was surprised to find someone in Gu Chenye's ward.

“Brother-in-law, I know that others told me these things because they are jealous of my sister and are slandering her. We don’t need to pay attention to them. But my sister must have misunderstood, which is why she was in a bad mood and left the hospital in a fit of anger…”

There was a loud bang.

Yan Yirou kicked the door open.

"ah!"

Yan Yixuan gasped in surprise, trembling like a startled rabbit.

Yan Yirou looked at Yan Yixuan and sneered: "Yan Yixuan, have you forgotten what I told you before I left?"

Yan Yixuan didn't defend herself, but apologized directly: "Sister, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I know I was wrong, please forgive me?"

Before Yan Yirou could speak, Yan Yixuan burst into tears: "I have nightmares every night, thinking about my child, and I can't sleep all night. Then I feel unwell during the day, and when I'm in a bad mood, I say things without thinking. The doctor said it's an illness, and I'm already taking medication. Sister, please believe me, I won't talk nonsense anymore."

Haha, you're really heartbroken, yet you can talk about it so eloquently?

Yan Yirou rolled her eyes. That child was being used even after death. He must have been incredibly unlucky to have a mother like Yan Yixuan!

Yan Yixuan saw her eye roll but wasn't angry; she just kept wiping away her tears.

Isn't this just like being driven to tears by Yan Yirou?

"Have you cried enough?" Yan Yirou made no attempt to hide her dislike for her, pointing to the ward door: "If you've cried enough, please leave. If you haven't, please go back to your ward and cry."

"elder sister……"

Yan Yixuan called out "sister" but her tearful eyes were fixed on Gu Chenye.

Yan Yirou noticed it and was disgusted at the same time.

Since Yan Yixuan is shameless, then don't blame her for showing no respect at all. She immediately said coldly, "Look at him, do you want him to stand up for you? Please open your eyes and see clearly, this is my man. You've got the wrong person. Get back to where you came from!"

"No, no, sister, please don't misunderstand, I'll be leaving now."

After explaining quickly, Yan Yixuan hurriedly left the ward.

Yan Yirou was taken aback by her abrupt departure, but she quickly looked away and stared at Gu Chenye, who remained silent on the hospital bed.

Yan Yirou blasted the scoundrel: "Were you mute just now? Didn't you even say something to kick her out? Humph, how long has she been here?"

Gu Chenye kept his mouth tightly shut, and a bead of sweat slid down his forehead.

He pointed to the cup on the table, his eyes pleading for her to bring it over.

Yan Yirou stormed over and handed him the cup.

He then added, "Don't you have hands? Can't you handle it yourself? Are you just waiting for me to come back and serve you?"

After spitting out the water in his mouth, Gu Chenye said two words: "I wouldn't dare."

"You talk a good game, but I bet you're not afraid to do anything," Yan Yirou said, placing the food on the table.

Gu Chenye explained to her, "I drank the water she brought me. The water was sweet, so I didn't dare to swallow it and just kept it in my mouth."

Yan Yirou glared at her angrily: "You still dare to drink her water?"

Gu Chenye explained very quickly, "It wasn't hers, she took it from the water dispenser."

"Are you kidding me? How can the water from the water dispenser be sweet?"

"So I think there's a problem."

"..."

You reacted quickly!

Yan Yirou was still a little unhappy: "If you can't speak, can't you get out of bed and go to the bathroom to spit out the water?"

Gu Chenye looked embarrassed: "I can't get out of bed."

"Why can't you get out of bed?" Yan Yirou looked at him in confusion, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Aren't you wearing pants?"

Gu Chenye remained silent, clearly indicating that she had guessed correctly.

Yan Yirou's inner flames flared up, and she looked on in astonishment: "She saw you naked?"

Instantly, Gu Chenye's face darkened as if he had been insulted: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Yan Yirou realized she had misunderstood, and his face darkened, her voice suddenly becoming seven-tenths weaker: "Then what happened?"

Gu Chenye didn't really want to talk about it, but he was afraid that she would overthink things and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

After compromising himself, he said, "Your cousin came over not long after you left. This is a hospital, and she's your cousin. It wouldn't look good if she made a scene in the corridor, and it wouldn't be good for you either, so I let her in."

I didn't bring any clothes with me when I went into the bathroom, so I just sat on the bed when I came out. I thought she would say a few words and then leave, but I didn't expect her to put something in the water.

He had been living too comfortably these past few days, and his vigilance had let down.

Gu Chenye apologized to her, his expression serious: "I'm sorry. I promise this will never happen again."

"It's not your fault, why are you apologizing?"

Yan Yirou found him some clean pants, then suddenly changed the subject and snorted coldly: "Hmph, she's just taking advantage of the fact that we don't want to make a big fuss, so she's acting so brazenly. Next time, just ignore her and let her make a scene. Anyway, I have nothing to do with her anymore."

After you're discharged from the hospital, I'll go back and persuade my parents to move out. They'd rather live far away than stay with an idiot!

Gu Chenye put on his pants, got out of bed, and walked to the dining table.

“I have a villa in the west of the city. The environment there is nice, but I spend most of my time at sea. When I return to the capital, I stay at home and don’t go there often. If you’re moving, you can stay there.”

"No, although I'm not as rich as you, my dad owns property, and our family has a place to live."

She was just staying in the hospital to take care of him, and she was already being cursed so rudely by the jealous people outside. If her whole family lived in his villa, people would probably throw rotten eggs at her.

But that's not why she rejected him.

Yan Yirou refused, but she was equally serious: "It's enough that I know how you feel."

Gu Chenye remained silent.

Yan Yirou pulled him to sit at the dining table and playfully stuck out her tongue: "If you ever give me too much, I'll definitely accept it."

"Alright, your Eight Treasure Duck will get cold if you don't eat it soon. Eat your food first, and I'll give you something else after you finish eating!" She sat down opposite him.

Gu Chenye looked at her curiously, his gaze intense: "What is it?"

Yan Yirou said, "Let's eat first!"

Gu Chenye could only bury his head in his food.

The taste of the Eight Treasure Duck hadn't changed, but he didn't savor it; he was only thinking about what else she had brought him.

After dinner.

Gu Chenye stared intently at her with his deep gaze: "Rou Rou."

When Yan Yirou saw him staring at her with pleading eyes like a large dog, she suddenly felt a little sorry for him.

Sigh, how could someone as kind as her have the nerve to bring it out?
