Mentioning Cao Xinqiao caused Li Ying's heart to ache inexplicably.
"Junior brother, I only met this person by chance, but he seems to be paying more attention to me."
“I think so too. He seems to really care about you. It’s not a good thing for someone to be interested in a married woman for no reason.” Lu Qingzhu realized this and found Cao Xinqiao disgusting.
In the afternoon, Shi Bai, the second senior brother, came to see Li Ying again, this time wanting to invite her to join their research lab.
"Our research lab is currently studying hemorrhagic fever, and we hope you can join us, junior sister."
Li Ying had heard about hemorrhagic fever, which is prevalent in rural areas. In recent years, farmers' incomes have improved, and every household has started to stockpile grain, which has led to an increase in rats in their homes. The source of this disease is the rats.
"Junior brother, I can agree to participate in this virus research, but I hope that after it is successful, I can continue to run my own clinic."
"That's natural."
Li Ying agreed to Shi Bai's request and went to the research lab to help them study the virus.
When Ye Jingchi returned and heard what Li Ying had to say, he didn't stop his wife from doing anything. He just held Li Ying's hand and said, "You are my pride, Ye Jingchi's pride, and also Chenchen's pride. But you must take care of your health and not overwork yourself."
"I know, I'll be careful."
Cao Xinqiao learned about Li Ying's move to the research lab from his younger sister.
"Brother, that Li Ying is really amazing. Your hospital invited her to practice medicine, but she refused. 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 in a low voice, "She's always been this amazing."
Cao Xinping nudged his older brother: "Brother, why are you so interested in her? She's a married woman. Are you going to become a mistress?"
Cao Xinqiao rolled her eyes at her sister and stopped turning the pages of her book.
Ye Jingchi is the third party!
Working in the research lab is already a very demanding task, and Li Ying often doesn't get home until very late.
Ye Jingchi would pick her up whenever he had time, and the two of them would walk hand in hand down the dark street, heading home together.
The only downside was that Chenchen fell asleep when we got home.
After washing up, Li Ying was held in Ye Jingchi's arms.
Are you tired?
"Not tired." Li Ying was never pretentious, nor was she a pretentious person.
"On your first day, did anyone give you any trouble?"
Li Ying pursed her lips: "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would be made difficult by others?"
"That's true. Cao Xinqiao didn't contact you, did he?" Ye Jingchi asked after hesitating for a long time.
Li Ying looked up at Ye Jingchi: "Did your junior brother tell you?"
Ye Jingchi nodded, patted Li Ying's shoulder, and said with some grievance, "It hasn't been easy for the two of us to get to where we are today. I don't want another guy surnamed Cao to try and steal my wife away."
Li Ying couldn't help but laugh, and cupped Ye Jingchi's cheeks in her hands: "Does our Commander Ye lack confidence in himself?"
Ye Jingchi pulled Li Ying's hand down and gently kissed it.
“It’s not that I lack confidence, it’s that I care about you too much. I didn’t feel very much for you before, but then I realized that loving someone means loving them wholeheartedly, so from now on, I must love only you for the rest of my life.”
"Learning to use sweet talk is not a good habit."
"This isn't just sweet talk; these are my honest thoughts."
Li Ying nestled in Ye Jingchi's arms: "Okay, I believe you. Let's go to sleep, I'm sleepy."
Li Ying nestled in Ye Jingchi's arms, snuggling against him, and slowly fell asleep.
Ye Jingchi carefully laid Li Ying down, covered her up, and lay down beside her with a satisfied expression.
In the morning, Li Ying finished eating and went to work, but was stopped by Chi En as she was leaving.
"You're so inconsiderate! You didn't even tell me you were coming back?"
Li Ying looked at the still somewhat immature Chi En and asked with a smile, "What are you planning to do now?"
"I heard you're going to open a clinic in the capital. I've been quite free lately, so I'll stick with you from now on."
Li Ying asked in surprise, "Haven't you looked for a proper job in the past few years?"
Chi En shook her head: "I don't like being controlled. It's different with you. I believe that if you were my boss, you would have free time."
Chi En was very sincere, and Li Ying, realizing that the clinic did need manpower, agreed.
"I've already said it, you're not just my employee, you also need to train other employees, and if I take on apprentices in the future, you'll have to mentor them too, okay?"
Chi En chuckled: "Then you'll have to take on a few more female apprentices."
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 on the shoulder.
Hopefully, he can move on from Yu Pingping's death and not use this carefree attitude to fight against past pain.
Chi En shrugged and fell silent.
Perhaps only Li Ying could see the desolation in his heart.
During Li Ying's time in the research lab, she entrusted the opening of the clinic entirely to Chi En. With the help of her junior brother and Lu Qingwan, the clinic was quickly set up.
However, Li Ying is the owner of the clinic, so it can only open when Li Ying has time.
Cao Xinping came to find Lu Qingzhu again and learned about the clinic.
She immediately told her older brother about it when she got back.
"Brother, don't you think Li Ying is amazing? She actually opened her own clinic."
Cao Xinqiao sat on the sofa reading a book. Hearing his sister's endless praise of Li Ying, his indignation intensified, but his face remained calm and composed.
"Keep an eye out for when her clinic opens, and we'll send her a congratulatory gift."
“No problem.” Cao Xinping sat down next to his elder brother, looking at him as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Speak your mind." Cao Xinqiao pushed up his glasses, his expression serious.
"Brother, you don't really want to be a third party, do you? I think you should forget about it. I've heard about Li Ying and Ye Jingchi's love story. They went through countless hardships to be together. Such a wonderful love story won't be interfered with by anyone else," Cao Xinping kindly reminded him.
Cao Xinqiao's gaze deepened, almost piercing through his lenses and burning everything in its path.
"True love doesn't need to go through ninety-one trials."
All of Li Ying's pain was caused by Ye Jingchi. If it weren't for Ye Jingchi, Li Ying wouldn't have suffered the series of misfortunes that followed.
Cao Xinping couldn't persuade her older brother because she herself was a stubborn person. After falling for Lu Qingzhu, she couldn't stand anyone else.
"Sigh, it's all because we arrived too late. If we had arrived earlier, things might have been different."
Cao Xinqiao disagreed: "Xinping, you have to understand that some things are better done at the right time than when they come early. Sometimes the latecomer can take the lead."
Seeing his elder brother's serious attitude, Cao Xinping knew that he was irresistible and could only give him a thumbs up.
"Go for it, big brother!"
