A passing nurse recognized Pei Zhiyu and stepped forward to answer her question: "Ms. Pei, your friend was transferred to a new ward early this morning. He is now in room 29 on the 8th floor."

"8th floor?!" Pei Zhiyu asked in surprise, "Are you sure?"

The nurse nodded and said affirmatively, "No, it is indeed Ward 29 on the 8th floor. You can go over and take a look now. It should not be checked at the moment."

Pei Zhiyu nodded in thanks and quickly took the elevator down to the 8th floor.

As soon as I walked into the ward, I saw a few men coming out of the smoking room, bringing with them a strong smell of smoke.

She frowned uncomfortably.

The reason why I was so surprised just now was precisely because of this. Hanfang's inpatient building is not entirely divided according to departments.

Zhong Yue had been living in the special care ward upstairs, but suddenly moved to the eighth floor, where most of the rooms are ordinary triple rooms.

Pei Zhiyu really couldn't understand why... Even if Zhong Yue was desperate and insisted on asking, how could Zhou Yanli agree?

She anxiously found Ward 29, and through the window on the door, she saw the bed with the curtains drawn by the window.

It must be Zhong Yue.

The two patients in the same ward with her were an old lady in her seventies and a middle-aged man who looked to be around forty.

well……

Pei Zhiyu opened the bed curtains and looked at Zhong Yue, who was lying depressed on the bed. He asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

When Zhong Yue saw Pei Zhiyu coming, her eyes instantly filled with tears and she hugged him for comfort.

But when Pei Zhiyu asked her again what happened, she was unwilling to say anything. After shedding her tears, she fell into a long silence.

Pei Zhiyu was helpless but had no choice.

After all, considering that Zhong Yue was not fully recovered yet, if she continued to ask, it might backfire, so she decided to go find Zhou Yanli.

It was a coincidence that she ran into Zhou Yanli who accompanied her to the ward for rounds as soon as she came out of the ward.

"Why did you suddenly change the ward?" she asked bluntly.

Zhou Yanli pinched his brows, sighed deeply, and said helplessly, "Something happened after you left last night. She insisted on being transferred to a regular ward and didn't want to continue living upstairs..."

He was vague and rambling, obviously hiding something, and probably didn't intend to tell Pei Zhiyu the truth.

She wanted to ask more questions, but was interrupted by a sudden phone call.

Zhou Yanli didn't give her a chance to ask any more questions and had already walked away.

The call was from Qiao Yue, and it was still about work. But after finishing talking about the work issues, she was reluctant to hang up the phone.

Pei Zhiyu noticed something was wrong and asked, "Do you have something to say?"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. After a sigh, Qiao Yue slowly spoke and confessed, "I'm sorry, Sister Zhiyu. Actually, after you hung up the phone last time, I told him everything about your preferences."

Pei Zhiyu said nothing.

Qiao Yue became even more uneasy. She apologized repeatedly and explained, "But Mr. Qin is really too sincere, and I don't think you really want to break up with him. I'm really sorry..."

"I understand." Pei Zhiyu said lightly and hung up the phone.

It’s not that I’m angry, but I still feel a little uncomfortable with the feeling of being betrayed.

Besides, this is the second time for Qiao Yue.

If she continues to do things in this "I think" mode, then it is questionable whether she can be a suitable and excellent entrepreneurial partner.

Pei Zhiyu lowered his eyes, disappointment in his eyes.

But on the other hand, I feel that facing a person like Qin Hezhou, especially knowing that the other party is from the Qin Group, I am afraid that few people can bear it and keep silent.

Can't blame Qiao Yue entirely...

It just so happened that Qin Hezhou's message popped up at this time. He started by bombarding her with photos, sending many photos and videos of Oreo and Wangfu playing with toys.

Then he added: "I'm going to pick up Oreo first. If you miss him, you can always come home to see him."

[He hasn't seen you for a long time and misses you very much. ]

Pei Zhiyu: [……]

【Are you really not going to come back and take a look? 】

Qin Hezhou was harassed by two dogs, and he repeatedly kneaded the dogs' toy balls to vent their stress.

He stared at the phone screen, just waiting for Pei Zhiyu's reply.

When he saw the red dot, he quickly clicked on it, and the next second, he angrily threw the toy ball in his hand towards the distant lawn.

Pei Zhiyu: [Stop bothering me.]

"Tsk... Did I do something wrong again?" He was puzzled and didn't know what to say until his teeth were almost broken.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally found Pei Zhiyu's favorite dog emoticon and replied.

Of course, this message fell on deaf ears and received no response.

The next time I saw Pei Zhiyu was on the day of Pei Guangyuan's birthday party.

Pei Zhiyu went downstairs in advance and saw the particularly conspicuous Maybach in the traffic at a glance.

Looks very familiar.

I remembered that this was the car that the old lady sent to them after they spent the first night at Qin's house.

At that time, she was still thinking that Qin Hezhou's temperament sitting in the car really looked like a noble young master of a wealthy family, or the legendary domineering president.

It seems funny now. Isn’t Qin Hezhou a combination of a rich young master and a domineering CEO?

When Pei Zhiyu got into the car, Zhong Yue's words echoed in her ears, saying that she had married into a wealthy family.

It really came true.

She sat side by side with Qin Hezhou in the back seat, but she never gave him a glance. She was either looking out the window or closing her eyes to rest.

He couldn't bear it any longer and finally asked the question that had been accumulating in his heart for a long time: "Is it related to my contact with Qiao Yue?"

Pei Zhiyu closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, without saying a word.

"But weren't you two on the phone the whole time I met her?" Qin Hezhou kept asking, giving her the feeling that he would not give up until he got the answer.

Pei Zhiyu pursed her lips and collapsed: "I'm not angry."

Qin Hezhou didn't believe it. "This is all you've said to me since you got in the car. I haven't replied to any of the messages I sent you before..."

Isn't this just anger?

"I didn't reply to the message because Zhong Yue was busy recently and I was also busy." Pei Zhiyu rubbed his temples and said angrily: "I ignored you when I got in the car because I was disgusted!"

"Disgusting?" Qin Hezhou became nervous. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"Maybe it's motion sickness. I just feel a little nauseous."

"Then..." Qin Hezhou wanted to speak, but Pei Zhiyu stopped him with his eyes.

The two of them didn't talk again until they entered the Pei family's gate.

When getting off the car, Qin Hezhou followed closely behind her.

Pei Zhiyu turned around, met his burning gaze, and said slowly and softly: "I'll go in first, you come back later, and we'll talk about other things when we're done."

He grabbed her wrist in return and asked, "Why don't you go in together?"
