Steven did not disturb Cheng Xueyuan, but chose to sit down on the hospital bed. He picked up the little duck placed on the bedside and began to play with the things they left behind.
"Gah!"
Steven: “!!!”
Cheng Xueyuan: “???”
When Cheng Xueyuan turned around, she saw Steven with a red face. Steven felt Cheng Xueyuan's gaze, looked up at her awkwardly and smiled, indicating that he really didn't mean it.
Cheng Xueyuan shook her head in amusement.
"You blush so easily, you look a lot like Nuannuan."
"It seems like we're destined to be brother and sister!"
Steven had just finished speaking when he suddenly seemed to think of something. He walked straight past Cheng Xueyuan and came to the pot of camellia. He looked at it thoughtfully, feeling that something was strange.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you think these things are a bit out of place here?"
Cheng Xueyuan was stunned for a moment, then carefully looked at the things placed in the empty ward.
When Cheng Xueyuan came in, she didn't think there was anything strange, but now that Steven said this, she also felt that these things were a little strange.
It's like someone placed it here on purpose.
"If Sheng Jingli is the legal person behind Bitos Hospital, and your brother is under house arrest by him, then when their people took your brother away, they wouldn't have left these things behind, right? What do you think?"
"you're right."
Cheng Xueyuan nodded in agreement.
Under Cheng Xueyuan's gaze, Steven threw the pot of camellia to the ground and smashed it.
The flowerpot shattered in an instant, and the flowers and soil were scattered all over the ground.
Nothing.
"It seems this is not something your brother left for you."
Steven shrugged and turned around, calmly expressing his opinion to Cheng Xueyuan.
Cheng Xueyuan did not agree with Steven's words as she did just now, she shook her head.
"No, it's not that simple..."
"What?"
Cheng Xueyuan ignored Steven's words and took out her mobile phone to search: Where the camellia flowers bloom in Country M.
"I know where he is!"
After saying that, Cheng Xueyuan left Steven, who was still in a daze, and ran downstairs.
Luo Heng, wait for your sister.
"Duke Steven! Follow me!"
"Ah? Okay!"
Although I don’t know what Cheng Xueyuan is talking about, I might as well follow her and see!
Vance was guarding the door, so he saw Cheng Xueyuan the moment she came out.
"Ms. Cheng, how is it? Did you find anything?"
Cheng Xueyuan's tone was filled with unconcealable joy, and even the usually serious Vance was infected.
"Found it! Can we go now?"
"That's great! Of course!"
Vance even forgot about his Duke Steven. He called back all the people who were guarding outside the hospital building and wanted to drive away.
Fortunately, Steven arrived in time and stopped Vance who was about to drive away, thus avoiding the risk of being "abandoned".
Compared to Cheng Xueyuan's relaxed and cheerful expression, Steven and Vance's expressions were not so good.
"Vance, if I'm not mistaken, you just wanted to abandon me and drive away with your people?"
"Well, Duke, actually, it's about this matter..."
Vance hesitated and was hesitant, and even begged for mercy in the end, but he failed to relieve Steven's obsession with this matter.
This is too much! How could he abandon me?! Is it because my charm has decreased? That's why Vance no longer sees me?
The more Steven thought about it, the more frightened he became. He always prided himself on being handsome and dazzling, attracting attention wherever he went. But now, even his subordinates had forgotten that he was on this trip!
When Vance saw Steven's expression, he knew what he was worried about, so he quickly made up for it.
"Duke, I forgot you were here because you heard Miss Cheng say she had found clues about her brother. You were so happy for her that you wanted to go with her to look for her brother right away. It's not that your charm has diminished. You are still as dazzling as ever!"
"Yeah?"
Steven's "Really?" made Cheng Xueyuan laugh. She never thought that Steven cared so much about his image and would get angry because others didn't notice him.
But Cheng Xueyuan did not show it. Instead, she cooperated with Vance in praising Steven.
"Of course it is! How could Vance lie to you? And let me tell you, the first time I saw you, I thought you were so handsome, like a god!"
"Of course! As someone who has a perfect sister, I must be especially perfect too, so that I won't embarrass my sister when we go out together!"
"The Duke is right!"
Seeing that Steven was no longer angry, Vance started shouting too.
Cheng Xueyuan: “…”
So childish.
It's already embarrassing.
Only then did Steven remember to ask what Cheng Xueyuan had just learned.
"By the way, Miss Cheng, where is the place you just mentioned?"
"I just checked online, and there's only one place in Country M where camellias are grown on a large scale, and that's the only coastal area in Country M - Shengmin Beihai."
"How did you come up with this place? Just because of that camellia? But what if that wasn't something your brother left for you, but a trap?"
Steven's worries were not unreasonable, but Cheng Xueyuan shook her head decisively and explained to Steven.
"No, that yellow rubber duck is the best proof. It was a gift given to him by someone else, and he has been carefully hiding it. No one in Sheng Jingli's family knows about the duck's existence."
"And didn't you just say that? When Sheng Jingli and his men left, they would definitely take everything in the ward with them. How could they leave behind only a toy duck and a pot of camellia?"
After listening to Cheng Xueyuan's explanation, Steven nodded in understanding.
"So that's how it is."
When he wanted to say something else, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Steven picked up his phone and took a look.
Steven did not avoid Cheng Xueyuan who was standing next to him, so Cheng Xueyuan also saw the note on the incoming call.
It’s Jiang Nuan’s call.
Steven glanced at Cheng Xueyuan, then picked up the phone and turned on the speakerphone so that Cheng Xueyuan could also hear what Jiang Nuan said.
