Chapter 122 Visit Him
After everyone left, Yu Huatang sat down beside the bed and looked at his injured arm.
Her arm was wrapped in a lot of gauze, and it was obvious that the wound was very long. She asked softly, "Is your Excellency still running a fever?"
Zhao Yan shook his head and motioned her to come closer.
Yu Huatang knew that it was because of her that he suffered this misfortune. Feeling guilty, she didn't care about anything else and sat down next to him, then put her hand on his forehead.
There is indeed no fever, but it is a low-grade fever.
Her fingers were soft and slender, perhaps a little cold from walking outside, and they felt very comfortable against his slightly warm forehead. He lingered on the touch until she let go, feeling a little regretful.
"I'm sorry, sir. It's all because of me." She apologized loudly, interrupting his daydreaming. As she spoke, she looked up into his eyes, her eyes full of guilt.
Zhao Yan's heart softened, and he said softly, "It has nothing to do with you. Even if you hadn't done this, the Jiang family wouldn't let me go. The Chen family is just their knife-wielding hands, so there's no need to take the blame on yourself."
"But it's all because of this incident. I feel bad about it. I don't know how to thank you, sir." She looked at him apologetically.
He hadn't seen her like this for a long time, and it reminded him of when she used to look at him like this at home. If she didn't learn something well, she would look at him apologetically, as if to say that she would definitely do it well in the future.
Unconsciously, he stretched out his uninjured hand, gently wiped away her fallen tears, and said comfortingly, "I'm fine."
Maybe because they were close to each other, he could smell her body fragrance for no reason. It was very warm and suggestive. He moved closer and saw the fuzz on her face from the side. Some memories came to his mind. He remembered the fragrance of her body when he hugged her before. He still remembered it.
But when her face turned to her, he started coughing in anger, like a thief who had been caught and was in a hurry to hide.
Yu Huatang supported him, patted his back gently, and asked, "Are you feeling unwell, sir? Is your condition getting worse and causing you to cough?"
Fortunately, the wound on his arm was not affected. He frowned slightly and said, "It's okay."
Yu Huatang said, "That's good. I've heard that coughs caused by inflammation are very difficult to cure. Adults should take care of themselves."
At this time, Anfu and Anyuan knocked on the door and said, "Master, it's time to change the medicine and take the medicine."
Zhao Yan let them in and out again. An Fu was also smart and said before leaving, "We are clumsy and I am afraid we can't do it well. Thank you for your help, Miss Yu."
After all, they were husband and wife before, and Yu Huatang felt guilty, so she didn't think too much about it. She took off his clothes and carefully removed the original gauze.
When she saw the sutured wound, she couldn't help but take a breath. She looked up at Zhao Yan. This was not a minor wound at all, the suture line was so long.
Zhao Yan pretended not to care and followed her gaze to the wound. The only thing he thought was that it might leave a scar, and he wondered if she would mind.
Here, Yu Huatang calmed down and applied the powder layer by layer as he instructed. She was afraid that the powder might sting a little, so she blew it with her lips while applying it with a cotton swab.
After applying the medicine, she picked up the gauze to help bandage the wound. Because the wound was quite long, when bandaging it, she inevitably had to touch his shoulder with her face. The two of them were close to each other, and Zhao Yan would deliberately lean towards her from time to time when she wasn't paying attention. Sometimes his face accidentally touched her forehead, and her heart skipped a beat.
After all, he was still thinking about her and Baili Yunzhou, so even at this moment he still spoke, "You must be very busy these few days since the opening."
"Well, I just received a batch of new orders and need to ship them out quickly."
Zhao Yan said, "It's great. The first batch is ready. We won't have to worry about customers anymore." Then he asked, "I heard it was opened in cooperation with the Baili family."
Yu Huatang nodded as he bandaged him, "Yes. But they provided most of the money and labor, so I was responsible for the work and teaching some apprentices, which was quite easy."
What about Baili Yunzhou? What did he do? He helped her so much. Are they engaged?
He hesitated for a while, wanting to ask but not daring to. When he saw her tying the final knot and getting up to leave, he wanted to speak, but he thought that this was her private matter, and he had never heard of any man asking you when you will get married.
But she came to see him today and changed his medicine, so logically they had physical contact. Does this mean she still can't let him go?
So if you want to ask, just say, how are things going between you and Baili.
Or to be more direct: Don't marry Baili Yunzhou.
Until Yu Huatang put on his clothes, cut off the sleeves at the wound, and helped him lean on the pillow, he did not hesitate about what to say.
Yu Huatang covered him with the quilt and said seriously, "They were arrested this time. Will the Jiang family send people next time? What if they team up with the Chen family again? After all, the Chen family is quite difficult to deal with."
Zhao Yan said slowly, "Don't worry about these things. Just take care of your own shop. Whether it's the Jiang family or the Chen family, this is what I should do as a parent official. Even if it wasn't you, I would still deal with it. But I will be more careful when I go out next time, and they won't dare to send anyone here again, don't worry."
That one sentence blocked all her worries and guilt, and she had nothing else to say.
Yu Huatang finally nodded, "Okay, I understand. Then have a good rest, sir. When you go out next time, find a few more people to follow you."
"Well, okay." Zhao Yan said.
"Okay." Yu Huatang stood up from the bed, "Then I'll go back first."
Seeing that she was about to turn around, he spoke anxiously, "I heard that the Baili family is going to have a wedding, plus you just got engaged, it's really a double happiness."
After saying this, he suppressed his inner uneasiness and nervousness, looked up at her and asked this question casually.
Yu Huatang was a little surprised and turned around and said, "Ah? What happy news? We are not engaged. Where did you hear about it?"
Then she chuckled and said, "Your Excellency may have heard wrongly. Baili is about to go to Fuzhou. How could such a thing happen?"
After that, she said goodbye, opened the door and walked out.
Zhao Yan listened to her words but had no time to stop her from leaving. He just kept on analyzing what she said. She said "not engaged", "going to Fuzhou", "how could such a thing happen?" This meant that they would never be together.
Baili Yunzhou is also going to be sent to Fuzhou by his family, and he will definitely not come back immediately.
Her tone just now was full of surprise and confusion, and then she chuckled, which shows that she has never thought about marrying Baili Yunzhou.
So Baili Yunzhou no longer has any chance, he is the one who has a chance!
After figuring this out, he felt that all the dark clouds and depression that had been accumulating in his chest for days had dissipated.
