Under Ye Zhiwei's urging, Ye Qingcheng entered a private hospital with excellent confidentiality. Although he was preparing to suspend his work, Ye Qingcheng did not want to make his condition public. The changes in the company's senior management would not affect the fluctuations in Ye's stock price for the time being, so Ye Qingcheng could rest assured for the time being.
After hearing the news, Li Lizhang made a special trip over. He circled around Ye Qingcheng a few times, shaking his head and saying, "I've never seen anyone like you. I've been your friend for so many years, and I've advised you countless times to put down your work, rest properly, and undergo chemotherapy. What did you say? You said you were too busy with work and had no choice. Now you're acting strangely and coming to the hospital. Xiao Jiang and I couldn't persuade you. Fortunately, your daughter can treat you!"
Li Lizhang circled around Ye Qingcheng several times, then around Ye Zhiwei a few more times, clicking his tongue in amazement. "You good-for-nothing little girl, I was going to teach you properly, but you don't. You're always all pitiful, like I'm bullying you. That old woman always says I'm bullying you, and all you do is hide behind her and not study. You just hide whenever she comes. Later, you just stopped coming altogether. You're not learning anything. You good-for-nothing little brat, and now you actually have a boyfriend."
Ye Zhiwei was unaware that Ye Qingcheng and Li Lizhang knew about her relationship with Jiang Jianian. She immediately panicked and said, "Grandpa Li, please don't talk nonsense..."
"I'm talking nonsense. Do you think I don't know anything? You two young people are dating, you're in a relationship." Li Lizhang patted Jiang Jianian and said to Ye Zhiwei, "This kid is really good at hiding his thoughts. He came here in the first place just for you, little girl. It really made me furious."
Ye Zhiwei: ...
Ye Qingcheng shook his head and asked in return, "If she weren't my daughter, do you think your research institute could have taken in Xiao Jiang?"
Ye Qingcheng actually found out too!
Ye Zhiwei wanted to refute, but the words stuck in her throat. Her face flushed red as she hid behind Jiang Jianian, wishing she could disappear immediately. She had always thought she had kept it a secret, but she never expected that Ye Qingcheng would find out about it. Not only did Ye Qingcheng know, but he also told Li Lizhang directly.
Ye Zhiwei retorted, "They're not even together yet."
Li Lizhang was surprised, "You're not even together yet? Xiao Jiang has gone through so much trouble for you, how can you not be together? Xiao Jiang is good-looking and smart, she's a good match for you..."
Li Lizhang got agitated first, but Ye Qingcheng stopped him from continuing his lecture, pulled Li Lizhang to his side, patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "Alright, alright, is it you who's dating or Xiao Jiang? Young people like this kind of chase, especially my daughter. She has to put on airs and make things difficult for him. If she could easily win him over, would she cherish him? My daughter understands these things well. She knows the market, knows how to raise her price, and knows how to gain the upper hand in a relationship. What do you, an old man, know?"
This is already deliberately making fun of her.
Ye Zhiwei left the ward under the pretext of needing to see a doctor to inquire about Ye Qingcheng's condition. Jiang Jianian followed her out after Ye Zhiwei left.
Ye Zhiwei walked in front, and Jiang Jianian followed behind.
Ye Zhiwei blushed and turned her head to threaten Jiang Jianian, "You're here to make fun of me too, so you're not allowed to follow me."
Jiang Jianian said calmly, "I'm not here to make fun of you. I'm just reminding you that Ye Qingcheng's blood test results haven't come back yet. If you ask the doctor at this time, the doctor won't be able to give you a specific and clear answer."
This straight man.
Ye Zhiwei couldn't continue speaking. She glared at Jiang Jianian and snorted coldly, "Then I won't go see a doctor. Can't I just go for a walk on the lawn outside the hospital?"
Ye Zhiwei walked forward, but Jiang Jianian still followed closely behind.
She walked all the way to the pavilion in the corridor where many patients undergoing rehabilitation therapy were strolling. Jiang Jianian followed her there. Ye Zhiwei couldn't help but glance at Jiang Jianian and said sullenly, "You're still following me."
She went to a corner of the hospital where the sun couldn't reach, and Jiang Jianian followed her as usual. She turned around and said to Jiang Jianian, "You've been following me all this way."
"Hmm." Jiang Jianian kept less than five steps away from Ye Zhiwei. He stared at Ye Zhiwei for a while, then looked away somewhat awkwardly. After a while, he said, "Because I think your angry and embarrassed look is also cute, and I want to look at you a few more times."
Ye Zhiwei was about to lash out when she heard Jiang Jianian's indifferent reply, but then he started saying nice things. It was as if he didn't even realize that his words were sweet talk, and he spoke to Ye Zhiwei word by word earnestly.
Ye Zhiwei clenched her hands, and after a long while, she said, "Don't think that I'll forgive you just because you said nice things to me. I don't intend to forgive you for what you've been hiding from me so easily."
Jiang Jianian frowned, and after a while asked, "Did I do something that made you very angry?"
"You kept Dad's illness a secret from me, how could I not be angry? Did you know a lot of things when Dad went to Yenching University to find me? Did Dad know about our affair back then? And did you already know a lot about Dad's illness back then?" Ye Zhiwei seized the opportunity to ask all her questions at once.
Jiang Jianian didn't speak, but instead walked towards Ye Zhiwei.
Ye Zhiwei watched Jiang Jianian warily, wary of him doing something to put her at a disadvantage. Sure enough, before she could question him further or get angry, Jiang Jianian had already grabbed her and hugged her.
It was a very simple hug, without even holding Ye Zhiwei tightly. There was still some space between them. He just held Ye Zhiwei very lightly, and after a while, he said in a tired voice, "At that time, I couldn't be completely sure about Ye Qingcheng's physical condition, and he didn't want you to know about his physical condition, so I didn't take the liberty of telling you these things."
Ye Zhiwei didn't speak, and Jiang Jianian continued, "I've been very tired lately because I'm always running between the research institute and the villa."
"Then...why don't you stay in S City for now? Grandpa Li should have extra rooms there, it shouldn't be a problem for you to stay there." Jiang Jianian showed weakness, and Ye Zhiwei's attitude gradually softened as well.
Jiang Jianian gently tightened his grip, closed his eyes, leaned slightly against Ye Zhiwei, and then continued to answer Ye Zhiwei: "I can't rest easy about you."
“Sometimes I even fall asleep in my room... whether you come back or not makes no difference to me.” Ye Zhiwei groaned.
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Jianian smiled and said, "I'll come to your room to see you."
Ye Zhiwei: "I lock my room every night, and you gave me the key last time, didn't you? I haven't returned it to you yet. How did you get into my room?"
“I only gave you one,” Jiang Jianian said slowly, lowering his voice as he answered Ye Zhiwei, “I have many more keys here.”
Ye Zhiwei: ? ? ?
