Ye Zhao nodded upon hearing this, exchanged a few words with Old Master Shen, and then turned and left the ward.
Just then, someone walked in from outside. Ye Zhao almost bumped into him. She looked up and saw that the person looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
Shen Yu's gaze fell on Ye Zhao's face, a smile appearing on his lips. He was about to say something when Ye Zhao turned and left without paying him any attention.
Ye Zhao didn't recognize Shen Yu, but she felt inexplicably uncomfortable with his gaze, so she left. However, she hadn't taken two steps when she suddenly heard Old Master Shen's angry roar from the ward: "Get out!"
Ye Zhao stopped in her tracks, then remembered that Chen Du was still inside, and she didn't want to get involved in other people's family matters, so she headed straight for the elevator.
Jiang Che has been busy lately, and Ye Zhao waited for him at the restaurant for quite a while before he finally arrived.
"Sorry, Zhao Zhao, I was held up by some work at the company for a while."
Ye Zhao smiled and took his hand: "No need to apologize, I'll wait for you a little longer whenever I have time, it's nothing."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Che's expression softened even more. He took her hand and pulled her into his arms, inhaling the fragrance of her hair as he sighed, "It's only been a few days, but it feels like so much time has passed..."
Ye Zhao also had this feeling. Although the two had only not seen each other for a few days, it felt like a very long time had passed. It was a very magical feeling that she had never experienced with anyone other than Yuanbao.
For some reason, Jiang Che always managed to express his thoughts without any pretense, while Ye Zhao subconsciously avoided such direct expression. She herself preferred to avoid it, but she liked it when others expressed their feelings for her without reservation, like Jiang Che. This made her feel exceptionally satisfied and happy.
"Are you tired?" Ye Zhao leaned against him and asked softly.
Jiang Che shook his head and said with a smile, "Time flies when I'm busy, and I can see you sooner."
Ye Zhao smiled, tilted her head back, and kissed his chin. Jiang Che felt a ticklish sensation, a tickle that spread to his heart, like a tiny spark landing on dry firewood, igniting a wildfire. His eyes darkened, and he lowered his head to kiss Ye Zhao's rosy lips. Their breaths mingled instantly, whispering words of love. He couldn't help but...
When Jiang Che entered, he locked the door behind him. He wasn't worried about a waiter suddenly barging in, but since they were still outside, Jiang Che tried his best to control his emotions. After a short while, he released Ye Zhao, pulled her into his arms, and calmed his breathing.
Ye Zhao knew perfectly well what he was trying to suppress, and she couldn't help but chuckle softly. Jiang Che sighed helplessly and said, "Stop laughing, Zhao Zhao..."
Before he could finish speaking, his cell phone suddenly rang urgently in his pocket.
Jiang Che slowly released Ye Zhao, reached into his pocket and picked up the phone. When he saw the unknown number on the screen, he subconsciously frowned.
"Hello?"
"Brother Che, Aze got into a fight, you need to come over right away..."
Jiang Che suddenly sat up straight, and upon hearing this, he frowned and asked, "Where?"
The man spoke rapidly, "He Jie just took me to the hospital..."
Jiang Che stood up, phone in hand, his expression revealing his anxiety. Seeing him hang up, Ye Zhao quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Che replied with a stern face, "Aze got into a fight and ended up in the hospital. I'm going to check on him."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhao also stood up anxiously: "What happened? Is the person alright? Which hospital? I'll go with you to see..."
"Okay." Jiang Che said as he pulled Ye Zhao to open the door to the private room, his expression revealing his anxiety and worry, while he was making a phone call in his other hand.
"Is he alright? Is he injured? Who did this?"
This was the first time Ye Zhao had seen such blatant anger on Jiang Che's face since they had known each other for so long.
Hearing this, He Jie sighed helplessly: "Please, Mr. Jiang, don't you know what kind of person your brother is? Even Shen Du has to avoid him in City A. Who would dare to lay a hand on him? He was the one who attacked someone else and accidentally tripped and fell..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Che suddenly fell silent, his expression momentarily unreadable. After several seconds of silence, he finally asked, "Who provoked him?"
“Wang Shuo…and a few other second-rate rich kids…”
Jiang Che knew his younger brother's personality. Although he was a bit of a troublemaker, he wasn't the type to provoke others. So, without much thought, he knew that it must have been Wang Shuo's loose tongue that had said something to anger Jiang Ze.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
"Are you alright?" Ye Zhao asked hurriedly.
Jiang Che put away his phone, squeezed her hand and said, "It's nothing, just a minor injury. Let's go take a look."
Ye Zhao left the hospital in the afternoon, and less than two hours later she was back.
When the two arrived at the emergency room entrance, Wang Shuo and the others sat dejectedly to one side. Some of them had bandages wrapped around their heads, hands, or feet, and some even had bloodstains on their clothes. The person, however, who wasn't covered in blood, was lying on the bed crying and screaming in pain, surrounded by several medical staff.
Jiang Che's lips twitched at the sight. Wang Shuo, who was standing to the side, saw him and Ye Zhao, and grimaced as he touched the gauze on his head, saying, "Brother Che, it was Jiang Ze who did it. What do you think we should do about it?"
As Wang Shuo spoke, he pointed to the people beside him. He Jie looked at him but did not say anything.
Jiang Che didn't say anything, but walked straight to the bedside.
"Jiang Ze..." Jiang Che called out softly.
Jiang Ze, who was crying on the hospital bed, turned his head and looked over. He saw that Jiang Che was crying even louder.
"Brother, you're finally here! Those guys were bullying us..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Shuo sat up abruptly, looking indignant. Pointing at Jiang Ze, he said urgently, "Who's bullying us? We all let you have your way and didn't lay a hand on us..."
Jiang Ze cried and said, "You're the ones who bullied me! You made fun of my sister-in-law! I couldn't stand it, so what if I hit you a few times?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Che's expression instantly darkened. He turned to look at Wang Shuo and the others, and asked, "What did you say?"
Wang Shuo was about to retort when he saw Jiang Che's expression and suddenly stopped speaking.
Seeing this, He Jie immediately said, "Hey, Brother Che, they're just joking around, they didn't say anything..."
Ye Zhao remembered this man; four years ago, in the private room at Old Master Shen's birthday banquet, he had also been trying to smooth things over in the same way.
These people had obviously noticed Ye Zhao standing to the side, their eyes occasionally falling on her and scrutinizing her, but considering Jiang Che's presence, they didn't say anything.
Jiang Ze let out another wail upon seeing Ye Zhao. Ye Zhao suppressed a laugh and stepped forward, standing beside his bed. She asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"
Jiang Ze chuckled and shouted, "How could I be in trouble? I can take on four of them!"
