Chapter 248: When she mentioned this person, her heart would ache
When Li Ying mentioned Cao Xinqiao, she felt a dull pain in her heart, which was very inexplicable.
"Junior Brother, this person and I just met by chance, but he seems to pay more attention to me."
"I think so too. He seems to really care about you. It's not a good thing for a man to pay attention to a married woman for no reason." Lu Qingzhu realized this and felt that Cao Xinqiao was disgusting.
In the afternoon, the second senior brother Shi Bai came to see Li Ying again, this time wanting to invite Li Ying to join their research laboratory.
"Our research lab is currently researching hemorrhagic fever, and we hope you can join us."
Li Ying had heard about this hemorrhagic fever, which mostly occurred in rural areas. Because farmers' incomes had improved in recent years, every household began to store grain, which resulted in more rats in the homes. Rats were the source of this disease.
"Junior Brother, I can agree to participate in this virus research, but I hope that after it succeeds, I can continue to open my own clinic."
"It's natural."
Li Ying agreed to Shi Bai and went to the research laboratory to help them study the virus.
Ye Jingchi came back and listened to Li Ying's words. He did not stop his wife from doing anything. He just held Li Ying's hand and said, "You are the pride of me, Ye Jingchi, and also the pride of our Chenchen. But you must take care of your body and don't overwork yourself."
"I know. I'll pay attention."
Cao Xinqiao heard about Li Ying going to the research laboratory from his sister.
"Brother, that Li Ying is really amazing. Your hospital invited her to see patients, but she refused to go. Instead, she went to the research lab to study the hemorrhagic fever virus." Cao Xinping still admired Li Ying very much.
Cao Xinqiao pushed up his glasses and said sullenly, "She has always been this amazing."
Cao Xinping pushed his elder brother: "Brother, why are you so interested in her? She is a married woman, are you going to be the third party?"
Cao Xinqiao rolled his eyes at his sister and stopped turning the pages of the book.
The third party, Ye Jingchi is the third party!
Working in a research lab is a very tiring job, and Li Ying always has to go home very late.
Ye Jingchi would come to pick people up whenever he was free, and the two of them would walk hand in hand on the small street at night all the way home.
The only bad thing was that Chenchen fell asleep when I got home.
After washing up, Li Ying was held in Ye Jingchi's arms.
"Are you tired?"
"Not tired." Li Ying is never pretentious, and she is not a pretentious person.
"Did anyone give you any trouble on your first day?"
Li Ying pursed her lips: "Do you think I'm someone who would be embarrassed by others?"
"That's right, Cao Xinqiao didn't look for you, right?" Ye Jingchi asked after hesitating for a long time.
Li Ying looked up at Ye Jingchi and asked, "Did Junior Brother tell you that?"
Ye Jingchi nodded, stroking Li Ying's shoulders, feeling a little aggrieved. "It's not easy for the two of us to get to where we are today. I don't want another Cao to show up and poach me."
Li Ying couldn't help laughing and raised her hand to cup Ye Jingchi's cheek: "Does our Captain Ye have so little confidence in himself?"
Ye Jingchi pulled Li Ying's hand down and placed it on his lips and kissed it gently.
"It's not that I don't have confidence, it's that I care about you too much. I didn't have strong feelings for you before, but later I realized that loving someone requires wholehearted devotion. So from now on, I must love you alone."
"You've learned to say sweet words, which is not a good habit."
"This is not sweet talk, this is what I really think."
Li Ying snuggled in Ye Jingchi's arms: "Okay, I believe you, let's go to sleep, I'm sleepy."
Li Ying lay in Ye Jingchi's arms, snuggled up to him, and slowly fell asleep.
Ye Jingchi carefully put Li Ying down, covered her up, and lay beside her with a look of satisfaction on his face.
In the morning, Li Ying finished her meal and went to work, but was stopped by Chi En on her way out.
"You are so rude. You didn't even tell me you came back?"
Li Ying looked at the still immature Chi En and asked with a smile: "What do you want to do now?"
"I heard you're going to open a clinic in the imperial capital. I'm very free recently, so I'll hang out with you in the future."
Li Ying was surprised: "Haven't you found a proper job in the past few years?"
Chi En shook his head: "I don't like being controlled by others. It will be different if I follow you. I believe that if you become my boss, you will have free time."
Chi En was very sincere, and Li Ying agreed because she thought the clinic really needed manpower.
"I've already made it clear that you're not just my employee, you're also supposed to be my mentor. If I take in an apprentice in the future, you'll have to mentor them, too, okay?"
Chi En chuckled and said, "Then you should take in a few more female disciples."
Li Ying rolled her eyes. This guy really is like a child who never grows up.
"Chi En, people should grow up."
Li Ying patted Chi En's shoulder.
I hope he can get over Yu Pingping's death and stop using this nonchalant attitude to fight against the pain of the past.
Chi En shrugged and fell silent.
Perhaps only Li Ying could see the desolation in his heart.
During the time that Li Ying was in the research lab, the matter of opening the clinic was fully handed over to Chi En. With the help of his junior brother and Lu Qingwan, the clinic was quickly established.
But Li Ying is the owner of the clinic, so the clinic can only be opened when Li Ying is free.
Cao Xinping came to see Lu Qingzhu again and found out about the clinic.
She told her elder brother about it as soon as she got back.
"Brother, don't you think Li Ying is amazing? She actually opened her own clinic."
Cao Xinqiao was sitting on the sofa reading a book. Listening to his sister praising Li Ying, he felt even more angry, but his face remained calm.
"Please keep an eye out for when her clinic opens, and we'll send her a gift."
"That's no problem." Cao Xinping sat next to his eldest brother, looking at him, hesitant to speak.
"Just say what you want to say." Cao Xinqiao pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose with a serious expression.
"Brother, you don't really want to be the third party, do you? I think you should forget it. I have heard of the love story of Li Ying and Ye Jingchi. They went through a lot of hardships before they were together. Such a wonderful love will not be interfered with by others." Cao Xinping also kindly reminded him.
Cao Xinqiao's eyes were deeper, almost penetrating the lenses and burning everything.
"True love doesn't need ninety-one difficulties."
All of Li Ying's pain was caused by Ye Jingchi. If it weren't for Ye Jingchi, Li Ying wouldn't have experienced the series of things that happened later.
Cao Xinping couldn't persuade her elder brother because she herself was a stubborn person. After she fell in love with Lu Qingzhu, she couldn't see anyone else in her eyes.
"Alas, it's all because we showed up too late. If we had shown up earlier, maybe things would have been different."
Cao Xinqiao disagreed: "Xinping, you have to understand that for some things, it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Sometimes the latecomer will prevail."
Seeing his elder brother's serious attitude, Cao Xinping knew that he was irreconcilable and could only give him a thumbs up.
“Brother, come on!”
