Chapter 40 Chapter 40 It’s not too late, I will wait for you.

Ansel had no idea what had happened to his friend.

After asking him to buy jewelry that day, Chi Ke suddenly became crazy and started to go around among various partners. He didn't care whether anyone knew about his relationship with the hospital or not. He invested several large sums of money in succession, and quickly and accurately won two projects that made everyone jealous, which made a big splash in S City.

Even when Leng Yunting went out for dinner, people would ask him, "Hey, why did your special assistant go out to work on his own? What's going on? Damn, he's been too aggressive recently!"

The employee made such a big fuss outside without the boss's knowledge, and the boss was completely unaware of it. Leng Yunting was so upset that he couldn't even say that his special assistant didn't go out to work on his own!

Otherwise, if this gets out, people will laugh at him for being worse than his own employees.

As for how he was related to Ji Qian's hospital, he could only blame it on the fact that this private doctor had planned it in advance and poached his special assistant.

But the doctor is also one of their own, and Chi Ke did not delay Xingmian's work. With the tacit approval of Grandpa Leng, Leng Yunting could only turn a blind eye and pretend not to see it.

He said unhappily, "I don't know. If you're curious, ask him yourself."

"I just don't have a way to ask." The man lit a cigarette and sighed, "Damn, he's so good-looking and so capable. Second Young Master, when he was fighting with you, you didn't treat him..."

"You're almost done." Leng Yunting frowned, "He's just my employee."

Chi Ke has been his companion since college, taking care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation. To him, she is like the nanny Wang Ma who has been with him since he was a child. He can speak without restraint, but others cannot joke about her casually.

But it's actually strange.

He had never taken Assistant Chi seriously before. The special assistant's presence in his eyes was only 1% at most. But since last year, the other party's presence has become stronger and stronger, and the sense of distance has also become stronger and stronger. It's like a flower on the mountain that no one else can touch. Leng Yunting actually enjoys the feeling of knowing him.

For example, now, the person who others have no way to contact has become his assistant who obeys him in everything, which makes him feel very vain.

"Hey, hey, hey, okay, I'm wrong, I'm wrong." The man laughed, "Okay, Mr. Chi, don't joke around. You can always find out some gossip about your little lover, right?"

Leng Yunting crossed his legs nonchalantly, with a hint of annoyance between his brows: "What does he have to say?"

"He's the one who's been with you the longest, right?" A friend joked with a smile, "He looks really good on the Internet. When will you bring him out so we can see your sister-in-law in person and see if she really looks like—"

“Bang!”

The glass in Leng Yunting's hand was crushed.

The box suddenly became quiet, and the person who had just spoken turned even paler.

I almost forgot.

Rumors started circulating yesterday that Young Master Leng’s white moonlight and his elder brother were getting engaged.

Isn't it like rubbing salt into someone's wounds to mention a substitute at this time?

"Eh? What's wrong with all of you? Drink." Sima Yichen, who was late, opened the door, sat down next to Leng Yunting, took a bottle of beer he had just opened and drank it all in one gulp, "I'm late, I'm punishing myself."

"Brother Chen has a lot of it!"

After his joke, the atmosphere became lively again.

Leng Yunting drank one cup after another without saying a word. In the end, the people around him couldn't stand it anymore and said quickly, "It's so late, let's go. I have to go back to accompany my girlfriend! Second Young Master, are you going with us?"

Sima Yichen was about to laugh: "Leaving so early, Leng Er, shall we go somewhere else for the second show?"

Leng Yunting looked at him for a while, then suddenly grabbed his collar and approached him, whispering, "Don't think I don't know your little tricks these days. The bracelet on Xu Lemian's hand was given by you, right? I remember I warned you last time not to steal my girl."

Sima Yichen raised his hands innocently: "I'm really not trying to steal your girl this time. I was shopping at the mall and saw my sister-in-law liked this thing but couldn't afford it. Your lover from two years ago was arrogantly mocking him. He looked so pitiful. After all, he's your man. I can't bear to watch him get bullied, right? So I just bought it."

"Pay me the price of the bracelet later, and I'll ask Chi Zhu to put it on your card." Leng Yunting let go of his hand, left with a warning, and said, "You'd better not have any more evil thoughts."

He dragged his heavy body back to the car.

The driver asked: "Mr. Leng, where are you going back to?"

Leng Yunting wanted to go back to the company, but suddenly remembered Su Jinmian who was going to be engaged to his eldest brother. His face darkened and he gave the address of the villa where Xu Lemian was.

On the way, he kept urging: "Drive faster, we'll get there in ten minutes."

The driver smiled reluctantly: "Boss Leng, I'm already driving at the speed limit."

"Then why are you still so slow?" Leng Yunting was unhappy, "Chizhu drives very..."

Thinking of Chi Zhu's driving skills, he paused and remained silent.

It’s better to go slower.

It's better to be slow than to die.

There were many red lights on the road, and when the Bentley arrived at the door of the villa, the driver was sweating with nervousness.

Fortunately, the boss didn't make things difficult for him. Without even saying hello, he eagerly opened the door and walked into the room. When he saw the darkness, he frowned and called out, "Auntie Wang."

"Hey! Master." Wang Ma's nanny's room was on the first floor. She ran out when she heard the noise. "Master, have you been drinking again? Go wash up and have a rest. I'll make you some sobering soup."

Leng Yunting looked around, looking worried: "Where's he?"

"Young Master?" Wang Ma said, "Young Master's mother hasn't left yet. He went to his mother's place to rest today and said he would be back tomorrow morning."

"Go home?" Leng Yunting lowered his eyes. "I gave him and his son a house to live in, but I didn't let him stay out all night."

He took out his cell phone and subconsciously wanted to make a call, but stopped halfway through dialing.

He took the initiative to call someone to come over late at night, as if he really needed the other person.

Why isn't he at home on call?

Wang Ma watched for a long time and sighed, "Master, actually... Young Master has always been treating you like a romantic couple."

He is my boyfriend, not my lover, so there seems to be no need to come back here every day to stay in an empty room, right?

Mother Wang didn't dare to say this. Even though she had watched Leng Yunting grow up, she was still an outsider after all, and could only hint at it vaguely.

Unfortunately, Leng Yunting failed to live up to her expectations. He didn't understand and was already on the phone with a puzzled look on his face: "Please help me bring Xu Lemian back to the villa, Chi Zhu."

Mother Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately it’s Chi Zhu. I feel relieved to have him around.

There was silence for a moment: "If you still plan to be with someone else in a romantic relationship, this kind of thing will happen again. Mr. Leng might as well make it clear as soon as possible."

Only in this way can we all be happy.

Leng Yunting clenched his teeth and felt panic for a moment: "Chi Zhu, you are too long-winded."

Chi Ke: “.”

…

Ten minutes later, Chi Ke went out, walked to the downstairs of the next-door apartment building, and called Xu Lemian.

"Hello, Chizhu?"

Xu Lemian's mouth felt like it was stuffed with a handful of marshmallows, vague and sticky.

"I'm sorry to wake you up." Chi Ke went straight to the point, "Boss Leng wants you to go to the villa now."

"Ah, Mr. Leng? Why did he call me so late at night? Is there something?" Xu Lemian woke up in a second and started talking nonsense as expected, "Are we going now? Where are we going?"

"I don't know. He just told me to take you there." Chi Ke said, "Do you want to put on your clothes and come down, or do you need me to convey your refusal?"

Xu Lemian bit her lip: "He must have something important to tell me when he comes to see me so late. He wouldn't suddenly think of..."

Chi Ke interrupted: "Are you going or not?"

"... Go, wait for me." Xu Lemian was upset at being scolded, but he couldn't hide his excitement. "I'll pack it up quickly. Chi Zhu, when will you arrive?"

"I'm downstairs at your house." Chi Ke said calmly, "Take the car keys. I'll drive you there."

Xu Lemian was surprised: "Already downstairs? You came so quickly..."

"Well, don't be too anxious." Chi Ke was most afraid of being pulled by him to talk a bunch of nonsense again, so he hung up the phone after giving him the instructions, found a tree to lean against to block the wind, and communicated with the director of the hospital's marketing department about next month's lecture.

[Market: Mr. Chi, there is some bad news from the venue. ]

【k: How do you say it?】

[Market: The price they finally gave was over budget/crying/]

【k: Can’t negotiate the budget price? 】

【Market: /kneel down.jpg/】

【K: Let’s make a dinner date. I’ll go tomorrow. 】

[Market: Mr. Chi, you have to have lunch with the boss of Yaotai tomorrow at noon. Is it ok in the evening? ]

【K: Yes, let’s make an appointment. 】

[Market: OK, Mr. Chi/salute.jpg/]

After a while.

[Market: Mr. Chi, I just learned that the dean has already made an appointment this afternoon. I'm so sorry that the information here was not synchronized in time. Are you still going? ]

Chi Ke chuckled softly.

[K: Let him go. Find someone who can drink with him. Don’t let him drink too much. Contact me if anything happens.]

[Market: OK, got it! ]

Chi Ke put away his phone and looked up at the woman not far away.

I felt someone was staring at me.

He was used to being stared at for various reasons on weekdays, and usually didn't care much. A normal person would just look at him a few more times and forget about it, but he didn't expect that the other party would stare at him for so long this time.

Seeing him look up, the woman immediately lowered her head in panic to avoid looking at him.

Then Xu Lemian ran out of the corridor and shouted "Mom" to the woman.

"Why did you come back just now?" Xu Lemian complained coquettishly, "I told you not to go out too late."

"I'm just going downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes." The woman was a little absent-minded and smiled perfunctorily, "You are..."

"Ah, I, I have something urgent to do at work!" Xu Lemian hadn't told her mother about her relationship yet, and she stood behind Chi Ke with a guilty conscience, "This is my boss's assistant."

That's quite true.

Chi Ke nodded friendly: "Hello."

"Hello." The woman smiled dignifiedly, her words and actions showing the charm of her youth. "Then I won't delay your work. Please leave now."

Xu Lemian pursed her lips and said, "Maybe I have to work overtime and won't be back at night."

"Yeah." The woman had no doubts, smiled at Chi Ke again, and went upstairs with a cigarette.

Before getting into the car, Chi Ke looked back once more.

This man had a very generous demeanor, but when he was speaking just now, his fingers were pinching his sleeves. He looked very nervous and his reaction seemed a little strange.

"Chi Zhu." Xu Lemian sat in the back seat and said awkwardly, "Um, can I make a request?"

"Hmm?" Chi Ke retracted his gaze and said, "Go ahead."

Xu Lemian pointed at the steering wheel and said, "I just got my driver's license not long ago and have never driven this car. Can I try it today?"

Chi Ke: “.”

Xu Lemian: "Please Chi Zhu! I really want to try it!"

"Let me ask." Chi Ke remained unmoved. He remembered who his boss was and called Leng Yunting. "Boss Leng, the young master wants to drive himself. Is that ok?"

"Don't ask me about such trivial matters." Leng Yunting said impatiently, "Let him drive. It doesn't matter if he runs. As long as he gets there, it's fine."

"Okay." Chi Ke unbuckled his seat belt quickly and decisively, "Come here."

"Yeah!" Xu Lemian sat in the driver's seat excitedly.

Chi Ke didn't think much about it and walked to the other side. However, before he even put his hand on the car door, the car sped away.

Chi Ke: “?”

He was rarely surprised, and watched the car getting farther and farther away, faster and faster, and faster and faster.

“Bang!”

The light blue BMW made a sharp turn and crashed into the security booth at the entrance of the community.

Chi Ke: “………………”

Is this a joke?

He cursed inwardly and called Leng Yunting back. He grasped the branch next to him with his left hand and exerted a little force, then jumped lightly over the bushes and ran straight to the scene of the accident.

…

Half an hour later, the red supercar and Bentley stopped at the entrance of the community.

Before the Bentley's door was opened, the owner of the supercar had already run over.

When Ji Qian heard Leng Yunting say that Xu Lemian and Chi Ke had been in a car accident, he was so anxious that he almost speeded on the road. The distance from here was twice as far as Leng Yunting, but he managed to shorten the distance to arrive at the same time as the Bentley.

"How is it? Are you hurt?"

Without saying a word, he looked Chi Ke up and down, not even having time to catch his breath.

"It's okay, I didn't get in the car." Chi Ke was negotiating with the security guard about the accident. He patted his shoulder to calm him down and pointed to Xu Lemian who was sitting on a chair not far away. "He was driving the car. I checked it and there was no damage, but his brain seemed to be damaged. He ignored me when I talked to him and didn't move. He just sat there."

"Ignoring me?" Since Chi Ke was fine, Ji Qian was no longer panicked. He frowned and walked to the dazed Xu Lemian and snapped his fingers.

Xu Lemian's shoulders shivered.

"There's no problem with your hearing." Ji Qian held up two more fingers, "This is it, I can see clearly - hey!"

Ji Qian was pushed aside by Leng Yunting.

Chi Ke quickly grabbed his arm and prevented him from hitting the tree. When Leng Yunting was about to sit on the chair, he quietly kicked away the plastic bench.

"Hold!"

Leng Yunting fell to the ground with a thud.

"It rained yesterday, and the ground is slippery." Chi Ke brought the chair back and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

"The rainwater is not cleaned up. How can the property management here do this?" Leng Yunting sat down again with a dark face. After complaining, he shook Xu Lemian's shoulder, "Mianmian, it's me."

Xu Lemian's sight gradually focused, his eyes turned red, and he threw himself into Leng Yunting's arms: "Boss Leng!"

Ji Qian: “.”

Chi Ke: “.”

Ji Qian was speechless for a rare moment: "You can't even move even if I ignore you?"

"..." Chi Ke's face was numb, "Modern medicine is still not as good as true love's kiss."

Ji Qian smiled and leaned towards him.

Chi Ke took two steps back mercilessly, and he almost fell down due to a daze.

"Hey." Ji Qian muttered softly, "I almost fell."

"You can't fall." Chi Ke was looking at him, how could he let him fall, "Don't hug me."

Ji Qian was shocked: "Didn't we make peace?"

Chi Ke raised his eyebrows: "Can we hug each other after we make peace?"

"Your question..." Ji Qian touched his chin, "It's very philosophical."

"Then think about it slowly." Chi Ke pushed him away and handed his business card to the security guard. "You can contact me for subsequent compensation. We will fully cooperate."

The front of the car and the security booth were both dented. Fortunately, the security guard was not there when Xu Lemian crashed the car, otherwise it would not be just a simple matter of compensation for a minor car accident.

After all this commotion, Leng Yunting was completely sober and no longer needed Chi's help: "You go back, Mianmian, come with me."

"It's better to go to the hospital for a checkup." Ji Qian's professionalism is still there. "Although you can't tell from his appearance, he said he feels uncomfortable. I don't know if he has internal injuries. It would be more reassuring to check it out."

Leng Yunting looked at Xu Lemian.

Xu Lemian shook his head and said embarrassedly: "Doctor Ji, I'm really fine, no need to trouble you."

Leng Yunting: "He said he doesn't need it."

The employer and the patient were uncooperative, and Ji Qian couldn't just kidnap them and throw them away for examination, so he said helplessly, "Okay, then you guys keep an eye out tonight, and call me if anything happens."

Leng Yunting nodded, picked up Xu Lemian and carried him sideways towards the Bentley, walking with great speed, leaving Chi Ke and Ji Qian standing there looking at each other in bewilderment.

Chi Ke secretly felt that this princess hug finally had some of the atmosphere of a novel.

Turning his head, he found Ji Qian still thinking about that philosophical question, and asked with amusement, "Have you figured it out?"

"This question is quite idealistic." Ji Qian said seriously, "From my perspective, it is possible, but from your perspective, it seems not possible."

"Then change your wrong conclusion. There is only one and certain truth to this problem." Chi Ke said, "No."

"True or false? You decide the answer yourself, right?" Ji Qian saw him leaving and hurried to follow him, "You're not going home?"

"Now that I'm down, I might as well go to the supermarket and buy some things." Chi Ke opened the memo and planned to write a shopping list later.

"Ah, I thought you were going to take a walk by the river." Ji Qian said in a low voice.

Chi Ke paused: "Do you want to go?"

"A little bit?" Ji Qian said, then shook his head, "No, I still want to go to the supermarket with you. You take me with you."

"Forget it, let's go for a walk." Chi Ke put the phone back, "It's not far, let's walk over."

"Really?" Ji Qian was surprised that he would change his plan, and said with a smile, "Hey, brother is so good to me~"

"You are such a self-conceited brother," Chi Ke pushed his face away, "either the supermarket is closed or we should go our separate ways now."

"I go wherever you go. What's the point of parting ways? This kind of word is so unlucky. Bah, bah, bah." Ji Qian took off the Buddhist beads on his wrist and stuffed them into his hand. "Hurry up, bah, bah, bah."

"Pfft, pfft, pfft." Chi Ke said perfunctorily, then wound the Buddhist beads twice and wrapped them around his wrist. "Do you believe in Buddhism?"

"I can't say I believe it. When I was a child, my mother went to the temple to ask the master for it for me. She even stayed there for three days and ate vegetarian meals. After that, I have been wearing it all the time." The two walked side by side. Ji Qian looked at his wrist and smiled more deeply. "It looks good on you."

I look good in anything I wear.

Chi Ke took off the Buddhist beads and returned them to him: "Your mother loves you very much."

"My family loves me very much." Ji Qian rolled up his sleeves and rewound the Buddhist beads. "When I was a child, I had a serious illness and was critically ill several times. During that time, they brought all the things that could bless my health and placed them next to my bed. They brought all the Buddhist, Five Elements, Feng Shui, and Christianity, and combined them with Chinese and Western medicine. Later, they said that they didn't know which god saved me. Anyway, I still firmly believe that modern medicine is the most respectable."

Chi Ke narrowed his eyes and asked, "So this is why you became a doctor?"

In fact, he had many questions, such as your family loved you so much, why did they treat you like this now? For example, the mistress of the Ji family once publicly expressed her dislike for going to the temple, why did she go there specifically to eat vegetarian food...

But maybe the atmosphere was too good now, so he didn't bring up the topic.

"Half and half. Before I started learning, my parents asked someone to take me through it. They told me about breaking the filter. They were afraid that I would get carried away and regret it later. But I was quite interested in it, so I continued to learn." Ji Qian said, "And then..."

Chi Ke turned his head, and it was rare to see that he looked a little embarrassed.

He slowed down his pace and waited until the two passers-by not far ahead walked away before asking, "Tell me, I won't tell anyone else."

"Are you trying to comfort the child?" Ji Qian nudged him with his arm in annoyance, not hard, just like a rub. "I wasn't completely unconscious when I was lying on the hospital bed. I could hear my mom and the others crying quietly every night, and I just thought I must not die. When I recovered and was discharged from the hospital, they actually smiled happily. Only then did I really think the doctors who treated me were amazing."

Chi Ke lowered his eyes and listened very carefully.

Ji Qian smiled and said, "Isn't it idealistic?"

"That's quite remarkable." Chi Ke looked him in the eyes and said, "You are amazing, Ji Qian."

His eyes are a beautiful gray, and when he looks at someone intently, it always gives people the illusion that he can tolerate everything.

Ji Qian suddenly wanted to say something more. He pursed his lips and spoke with difficulty: "Actually, I..."

"Don't you know whether to say it or not?" Chi Ke interrupted him. "Although I don't know what you want to tell me, since you don't know whether to say it or not, don't say it for now. Don't do anything impulsive. It's not too late to say it after you think it through."

Ji Qian paused: "What if it's too late by then?"

"It's not too late." Chi Ke lifted his messy hair to prevent his bangs from blocking his view of Ji Qian. "I'll wait for you."

When it comes to big things, he has always been willing to give time.

Just like this guy's sexual orientation, it is so obvious. In fact, Chi Ke could have taught him directly, but what others teach is different from what he thinks.

If a person needs others to break him down, break him down, and teach him step by step whether he likes someone or not, and who he likes, then he either doesn't like the person enough, or he really has a problem with his brain.

Either way, it's not suitable for him.

If Ji Qian is really one of these two people, then he is blind and has mistaken the person.

He wants to date, not take care of the child.

Ji Qian stopped and looked down at him, with an indescribable emotion in his eyes.

Chi Ke turned around and waited patiently for a while. When his knees moved, he asked slowly, "What do you want to do?"

Ji Qian was stunned by the question: "I don't know."

He was so used to thinking whatever he wanted that he didn't even realize he had moved.

"If you don't know, just think about it." Chi Ke put his hands in his pockets, looking very relaxed, as if he didn't care about this weird atmosphere at all.

Ji Qian frowned for a long time, then said uncertainly: "Want... a hug?"

"Did you get my consent?" Chi Ke raised his eyebrows. "Didn't I say that you can't hug even if we've reconciled?"

"That's nonsense!" Ji Qian couldn't help but sound anxious, "We can discuss this!"

Chi Ke raised his hand and grabbed his neck, stopping the other party from rushing over: "Then you discuss it."

Ji Qian: “…”

Ji Qian asked in a dragging voice: "Teacher Chi, can you hold me for a while? Is that okay?"

Chi Ke snorted and looked at him with a half-smile.

Ji Qian couldn't help but want to move forward, but his neck was pinched tighter. He couldn't help but cough and said sadly, "It hurts a little, brother."

Chi Ke was very measured in his attack, knowing that the force wouldn't hurt and that the boy was just pretending.

I didn’t intend to let him go so quickly, but when I heard him screaming in pain, I couldn’t help but let go.

Ji Qian grinned as if his plan had succeeded, and rushed forward.

But Chi Ke was faster than him. He took two steps back before letting go, without letting anyone touch the corner of his clothes. He turned around and walked away without any regrets, and answered his question at the same time: "No."

Ji Qian: “…”

Ji Qian couldn't believe it.

Are you kidding?

Really not?!
