Chapter 75
When the ward door was gently pushed open, Pei Yuezhou closed the book almost synchronously.
Yu Zhi also knew that she had delayed for too long, and it was not fair to let Xiao An bear the pressure alone, so she still felt a little guilty.
Zhou Fang was the only one in the room who reacted the most. He quickly came over and muttered, "Oh my God, sister-in-law, you're finally back! If you were two minutes later, I would have asked the nurses to broadcast a missing person announcement!"
Pei Yuezhou sat quietly on the sofa from beginning to end, his eyes fixed on her, without asking a single question.
But he looked a little depressed, with his eyebrows slightly drooping, like a poor little thing ignored by his busy partner, without any of his usual calm and composed look.
Yu Zhi had already figured out his thoughts. She suppressed her laughter and produced a branch of hibiscus from behind her like a magic trick.
There were still crystal drops of water hanging on the petals, and the pink and white flowers were made particularly beautiful by the moisture. She had just picked them when she passed by the garden.
"I picked it especially for our Ah Yue." She handed the flower to him, her eyes curved into crescents. "How is it? Do you like it?"
The person in front of him had smiling eyes and even spoke in a sweet tone. Pei Yuezhou no longer cared about pretending.
He couldn't suppress the smile on his lips. He reached out to take the Hibiscus, but his eyes were glued to Yu Zhi's face, not moving away for a moment: "I like it."
These words were as light as a feather, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that...
He said he liked flowers, but his eyes were clearly only on the person who gave him the flowers.
Zhou Fang, standing nearby, was so upset by this unexpected bit of dog food that he finally couldn't help but interrupt, "Stop it! You two, stop showing off! We have to go get lunch soon, and I'm starving!"
Yu Zhi hesitated.
Pei Yuezhou's fingertips gently stroked the petals of the hibiscus. "Brother went on a business trip abroad temporarily. We are not in a hurry to go home."
Yu Zhi then remembered to take out her cell phone, and sure enough, she saw the message Yu Heng had sent an hour ago, with a hint of grievance between the lines.
[Put aside the mushroom porridge first, and drink it when I get back.]
She couldn't help laughing, and when she put her phone back in her pocket, Zhou Fang half-pushed her towards the door. "Sister-in-law, let me tell you, I invested in that restaurant a few years ago, and the dishes made by the chef there are definitely not inferior to the one you have."
"Is this true?"
"Of course! We spent a lot of money digging it up!"
Zhou Yu'an could only sit on the hospital bed and watch the three people leave in a lively manner. He lowered his head to look at the bowl of bland and tasteless hospital meal in front of him, and sighed with a bitter face.
The Maybach slowly drove away from the gate of Heinerson Hospital, and Zhou Fang's assistant followed closely behind in a Bugatti Veyron.
The restaurant Zhou Fang chose was a revolving restaurant that had become extremely popular in recent years. The owner had already reserved for him the best viewing spot on the top floor, from which he could overlook the autumn scenery of most of the city.
The restaurant corridor was covered with thick carpet, which absorbed all the sound of footsteps.
Song Zhiyu had just come out of the bathroom when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
A light flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously raised his legs to chase after him.
But before he could take a step, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone, and then he was pulled to the corner of the corridor with a strong force.
"Did I warn you?" Lu Zhuoyuan lowered his voice, his anxiety evident. "What do you want to do now? Sister Zhi's husband is still here. Do you know who he is?"
Song Zhiyu stumbled a bit, his back hitting the wall, but he still smiled nonchalantly and shrugged, "I just went over to say hello, Xiao Zhuo, why are you reacting so strongly?"
"Do you really need to go and greet them?" Lu Zhuoyuan's eyes tightened, and his tone was extremely serious. "In any case, stay away from Sister Zhi. Otherwise, in the end, we won't even be friends anymore."
"I just said a few words casually when I was drunk last time. Why do you still remember it?" Song Zhiyu spread out his hands and pretended to be helpless, but he did not hide the dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Lu Zhuoyuan didn't let go, staring into his eyes, and said word by word: "I will keep an eye on you."
The smile on Song Zhiyu's face faded a little, but he didn't refute it.
On the other side, Pei Yuezhou had just accompanied Yu Zhi to the door of the private room. As if he noticed something, his eyes inadvertently swept across the corridor behind him.
It was completely empty, with only the warm yellow light shining on the wall.
He didn't pay much attention to it, and quickly withdrew his gaze. He moved aside and opened the door of the private room for Yu Zhi, and his tone softened again: "If you like it, take the chef here home too."
Zhou Fang immediately wailed, "It's not Brother Zhou! You're plotting to poach my people right in front of me. Don't you take me too seriously?"
He really didn't understand. His brother Zhou had seen all kinds of storms, but now he was coaxed into this worthless dead state by a flower.
The corners of his mouth were almost raised to his ears, making him look like a large dog with its fur stroked.
Yu Zhi suppressed her laughter and tugged at Pei Yuezhou's sleeve: "You should give your brother some face."
Zhou Fang, however, was very understanding and immediately followed up on the conversation, "Sister-in-law, what you said is serious. If you really like me, let alone poaching the chef, I'll even buy all the shares of this restaurant and give them to you."
Yu Zhi was surprised: "Zhou Fang, it turns out you have such a high emotional intelligence."
Zhou Fang scratched his head and smiled a little smugly: "Hahaha, no, no."
He deliberately dragged out his tone, with a hint of joking, "But sister-in-law, what you mean is that in your eyes, my emotional intelligence is very low?"
Yu Zhi said frankly: "No, I thought you were still single because you were too straight."
Isn’t that quite clever?
Zhou Fang sighed: "Sister-in-law, what you said is a bit heartbreaking."
Pei Yuezhou next to him couldn't help but chuckled, his shoulders trembling slightly. Finally, he simply rested his forehead lightly on Yu Zhi's shoulder and chuckled.
Yu Zhi patted Pei Yuezhou, then said to Zhou Fang: "No offense, no offense."
"Hey, I'm just kidding." Zhou Fang immediately put away his aggrieved look, waved his hands and smiled generously, "The main reason is that I don't have any plans to fall in love at the moment, so being single is fine."
"Won't your family members urge you to get married?" Yu Zhi asked curiously. After all, for a family like Zhou Fang's, most elders would be anxious about his marriage.
When this was mentioned, Zhou Fang seemed to open up and started complaining with a bitter face: "You really don't say it, the old lady is so anxious that she wants to stuff a man into my bed."
Yu Zhi opened her mouth wide, as if she had just heard some shocking news, and looked at Pei Yuezhou for confirmation.
Pei Yuezhou continued in her ear: "Once, his sister found several male celebrities and asked them to perform the leg-sweeping dance around him."
Yu Zhi couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Oh my god, this is my sister."
Zhou Fang quickly clarified: "Although I have never been in a relationship, I am very sure that there is nothing wrong with my sexual orientation!"
Yu Zhi: "Then why do you..."
He suddenly became serious: "The main thing is, I don't want to start a relationship casually. That would be irresponsible to the girl. Things like this should be left to fate. There's no need to rush until the right time comes."
Yu Zhi couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and gestured to him, "Well said, let's go."
She had always thought that a prince like Zhou Fang would be a bit cynical, but she didn't expect that his view on love was so positive.
