“I’m fine now, but just to be on the safe side, Dr. Shen suggested that I quarantine here for a week.”
Gu Chenye's symptoms were mild, so he recovered relatively quickly, but isolation was still necessary to prevent a recurrence of malaria.
Therefore, he applied to return to the military hospital for quarantine.
He will be able to return to the capital at some point.
Gu Chenye yawned and urged, "Sister-in-law, you're pregnant, you should leave quickly, and don't call Fourth Brother over."
"Wait a minute, I'll come over and check you out in a bit." Shangguan Wu left to find the medical staff.
She put on her protective suit and returned to Gu Chenye's ward to take his pulse.
"Your pulse is normal, so you're definitely better. However, your Yang energy is a bit weak, probably because you haven't been resting well these past few days, which is why you're feeling a bit listless."
Shangguan Wu could roughly guess why he couldn't sleep well, so he said, "Third Brother, I'll give you acupuncture once, so you can recover faster."
"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you? Actually, I'll feel refreshed after a good night's sleep." Gu Chenye was worried about tiring her out and hurting his future niece.
Shangguan Wu shook his head: "It's different, and it's not troublesome at all. Don't worry, I won't joke around with my own health."
Seeing that she was sensible, Gu Chenye nodded and said, "Okay, then thank you for your trouble."
"Third Brother, we are family."
Shangguan Wu took out the acupuncture bag and spread it out. The silver needles gleamed coldly under the light.
With Gu Chenye's strong physique, Shangguan Wu kept the acupuncture time to forty minutes.
"Third Brother, I've made plans to have dinner with my husband. He should be here soon. If you have any questions, just give me a call."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Gu Chenye, unable to move, reminded him, "Remember not to tell him."
Shangguan Wu, who had reached the door, turned back with some difficulty: "Third Brother, I can only promise not to tell you on my own initiative. If he asks me, I will definitely tell him."
What if he misunderstands and thinks she's taken a fancy to another soldier in the hospital?
She wanted to nip any misunderstandings in the bud!
Gu Chenye: "..."
The fourth brother is incredibly lucky!
After Shangguan Wu left, Gu Chenye picked up his phone and contacted Yan Yirou.
When Yan Yirou received his call, she was instantly excited. Her expressionless face blossomed into a shy smile, as if a withered tree had been revived by spring or a gentle rain had fallen from the sky.
"Brother Ye!"
Yan Yirou's voice changed unconsciously, becoming somewhat coquettish and soft: "Why are you calling me at this time? Have you finished everything?"
Gu Chenye was stunned. Brother Ye?
That sounds nice!
Gu Chenye played along, saying, "Yes, I wanted to tell you as soon as I finished my work. How was your work today? Were you tired?"
Yan Yirou was very satisfied with his cooperation and said with a smile, "Not tired. There's not much business at the Chinese medicine pharmacy. You must be very tired. Have you eaten?"
At the end, she quickly put on a worried expression.
Gu Chenye lowered his voice and said, "It is quite tiring, but talking to you makes me feel less tired."
The subwoofer is cheating!
Yan Yirou inwardly screamed like a groundhog, her ears gradually turning red.
The two started a question-and-answer session, and they always had something to say to each other.
Yan Yirou chatted and flirted with other men as if no one else was around, which made Ji Xianli very angry.
But he was at the Yan family's old residence, and all the Yan family members were present and watching him, so Ji Xianli did not show the slightest bit of anger.
The more restrained Ji Xianli was, the greater his ambitions became.
But why does he have to keep staring at her?
Yan Yirou couldn't help but shed a tear of sympathy for herself.
She coughed lightly twice, as if only then realizing that everyone was watching her, and smiled apologetically.
Then, with her back to everyone, Yan Yirou asked softly, "Brother Ye, I'm having dinner with Grandma. Do you want to say a few words to her?"
Gu Chenye made the call to resolve this matter.
However, her attitude clearly indicates that there is someone nearby, and someone she wants to get rid of!
Gu Chenye smiled and said, "Put the phone on speakerphone."
"Okay." Yan Yirou thought that Young Master Gu was really a good person. She smiled and turned around to Grandma Yan, saying, "Grandma, Brother Ye has something to say to you. I'll put it on speakerphone!"
She turned on the speakerphone, placed the phone on the dining table, and pushed it in front of Madam Yan.
When Madam Yan saw the words 'boyfriend' on the screen, she glanced at her eldest granddaughter again.
At that moment, Gu Chenye's voice came from the phone: "Hello, Madam, I am Gu Chenye, Rou Rou's boyfriend."
Madam Yan did not expect him to be so direct.
After only two seconds of hesitation, Gu Chenye said, "I'm sorry to make this promise to you in this way, but I would like to visit you in person in a week. Would that be convenient for you?"
Madam Yan's eyes were filled with shock. Was she going to ask for leave to come back?
Everyone else looked at Yan Yirou.
A hint of jealousy flashed in Yan Yixuan's eyes as she stared at Yan Yirou. She hoped that Yan Yirou would be with another man, but that man could not be more outstanding than Ji Xianli.
Yan Yirou had no idea what she was thinking. Her mind was completely on Gu Chenye. Did he really want to come back? Was it really necessary?
Madam Yan suddenly spoke up: "Rou Rou said you're very busy."
Yan Yirou pursed her lips and listened intently.
Gu Chenye said on the phone: "No matter how busy I am, I want to do everything myself when it comes to Rou Rou."
Even though Yan Yirou knew these words were false, her heart still raced uncontrollably.
Gu Chenye was very sincere, and Madam Yan didn't make things too difficult for him. After all, he was the third young master of the Gu family, and to be honest, it was the Yan family who were marrying up.
However, the traditional custom is that daughters from high-ranking families marry into wealthier families, while wives from humbler families are married into wealthier families.
So, Madam Yan initially put on quite a show of authority. Didn't you see the young master of the Ji family coming to the Yan family every few days? The saying "a family with a daughter is sought after by a hundred families" is exactly like that.
"I'm more comfortable staying at home as an old man. You can come whenever you want."
By saying this, Madam Yan meant she was not refusing.
"Grandma, please continue eating. Excuse me."
Yan Yirou left with her phone, without even glancing at Ji Xianli.
A sinister glint flashed in Ji Xianli's eyes. It seemed that he had been too kind to the Yan family, which was why they were able to humiliate him so casually!
It's true that things that are too easily obtained are often not appreciated by some people!
Yan Yixuan took the opportunity to pour Ji Xianli a cocktail, then poured some for herself, and raised her glass to him.
"Brother Xianli, I'd like to toast you."
"Drink less."
Ji Xianli knew what Yan Yixuan was thinking just by glancing at the wine in her glass. Yan Yirou's rejection of him was now obvious, but he needed to find a reason to stay in the Yan family.
Ji Xianli let himself get drunk and naturally rested in the guest room of the Yan family's house.
Not long after, Yan Yixuan arrived.
"Brother Xianli?"
Yan Yixuan placed the hangover soup on the bedside table, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Ji Xianli, saying, "I made you hangover soup. You'll feel better if you drink it when you get up."
Ji Xianli opened his eyes and, feigning confusion, called out, "Rou Rou?"
