"Why was Jingchi injured?" Grandma Ye seized on the key point and pressed for an answer.
Ye Wenchi frowned and shook his head: "I don't know either."
"Let me tell you why Ye Jingchi was injured."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lu Xingzhou, dressed in military uniform, striding up to them.
"Who are you?" Grandma Ye sized up Lu Xingzhou.
"Grandma Ye, Director Ye, I am Lu Xingzhou, Li Ying's first husband," Lu Xingzhou introduced himself.
"So you're Li Ying's ex-husband? Is it you who caused my third brother's injury?" Ye Zhonghong questioned, baring his teeth and brandishing his claws.
Lu Xingzhou smiled and, facing everyone's questions, said, "Commander Ye was not injured because of me, but because of my ex-wife, Li Ying. The time he went to Yunnan with Li Ying, he was poisoned by an unknown poison in the forest, and it is said that there is no cure for this poison."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Ye almost fell over. Tang Qiao held the old lady tightly, feeling sad and on the verge of tears.
"I knew that Li Ying was no good! If it weren't for her, my third brother wouldn't have been injured, and he wouldn't have been hiding from us!" Ye Zhonghong hated Li Ying to the core.
"Zhonghong, stop talking! Quickly help your grandmother inside!"
Spring snow stepped forward and commanded Ye Zhonghong.
Everyone helped the old lady back into the house.
Outside the door, Ye Wenchi's eyes were filled with hostility: "Company Commander Lu, you've deliberately come here to provoke my family!"
"Director Ye, I only spoke up because I didn't want your family to be deceived by Li Ying. Instead of being grateful, Director Ye blames me. Your Ye family is so stupid!" Lu Xingzhou said and turned to leave.
Ye Wenchi flicked his sleeves and strode into the courtyard.
Li Ying sneezed and rubbed her nose.
Tian Li brought the steamed buns to the table.
The flower gently smelled the fragrance and couldn't resist picking one up and eating it.
"I must say, these steamed buns are really delicious!"
Tian Li chuckled: "Miss Hua, your family has never tried our steamed buns before?"
Hua smiled awkwardly: "I have a cook at home, and I'm not allowed to eat out. Later, I joined a drama troupe, and sometimes I had to act. In order to maintain my figure, I didn't dare to eat much of these kinds of foods."
She never expected to miss out on such a delicious flavor.
Tian Li picked up a steamed bun and handed it to Li Ying as a gesture of comfort.
"Sister Yingying, don't worry. Maybe Commander Ye was delayed by something else. Since he instructed Commander Fu to lead the team, it means he's alive and fine."
Hua Qingqing agreed and nodded in agreement.
"Yingying, good people are always protected by heaven. Ye Jingchi will be fine."
Li Ying smiled: "I'm fine, as long as he's still alive. If he can come back, I can cure him too."
If her second senior brother had told her sooner, she could have helped Ye Jingchi detoxify, but now it's too late. Ye Jingchi is gone, perhaps slowly dying somewhere.
The world is so big, where is she supposed to find him?
Tian Bingbing brought freshly steamed buns to the table.
"Everyone, try these. These are some new flavors I've developed."
Tian Li picked one up first, looking very surprised: "Sister, you said the preserved vegetables and meat were wrapped together?"
"Yes, and these too."
Tian Bingbing let everyone try a lot of different dishes, such as corn and pork, celery and pork, dried green beans and pork, and shrimp.
"This is so delicious!" This was the first time Hua Qingqing had ever eaten so many carbohydrates.
Tian Bingbing smiled at Li Ying: "These varieties are all recipes that Miss Ying gave me. I thought about them a bit and they turned into the flavors they are now."
Hua looked at Li Ying with admiration: "Yingying, you're simply amazing!"
Tian Bingbing hesitated for a moment, then looked at Hua Qingqing and asked, "Miss Hua, how long have you been married to Director Ye?"
We've been married for several years.
A meaningful smile flashed in Tian Bingbing's eyes before she turned and went back to her work.
Li Ying noticed Tian Bingbing's gaze and found it somewhat strange, but she didn't want to pry into other people's business.
Hua Qingqing was quite straightforward, and immediately asked Li Ying, "Yingying, I really want to ask you, Ye Wenchi and I have been married for so long, but we still don't have children. Is it my fault?"
Li Ying instantly understood the meaning behind Tian Bingbing's question.
Hua Qingqing has never had a child.
Let me take your pulse.
Hua Qingqing immediately stretched out her arm, and Li Ying took her pulse.
"How about it?"
“Your body is very healthy, you can have children.” Li Ying withdrew her hand and looked at Hua Qingqing.
"But we've been married for so many years, why don't we have children?"
"Sometimes it's not entirely the woman's fault; men can also be infertile."
ah? !
Li Ying's words were too ahead of their time, and the other customers in the restaurant pointed and whispered about her.
Li Ying didn't care. She was a doctor, and these words weren't shameful. It was just that people in this era were still very feudal in their thinking. Everyone thought that if a woman couldn't have children, it must be a problem with her. No one would think about the man or admit that their own man had a problem.
When she said it so sweetly, Hua Qingqing was the one who felt most awkward.
Fortunately, Hua Qingqing is not that rigid.
"Now that you put it that way, I really need to have Ye Wenzhi go to the hospital for a checkup."
When Li Ying returned home, her family kept quiet about Ye Jingchi, afraid that Li Ying would be upset and have inappropriate thoughts.
Smelling the delicious soup, Li Ying went into the kitchen.
Aunt Yang is cooking soup.
Truffles?
"Miss Ying, these truffles are still fresh. I just don't know who sent them. I saw them right here when I went into the kitchen." Aunt Yang wanted to say that it must be Commander Ye, but Madam had just instructed her not to mention Ye Jingchi, so she just mentioned it casually without mentioning Ye Jingchi.
The only person Li Ying could think of was Ye Jingchi, but she didn't know where he was or why he left after delivering the gift.
Late at night, Li Ying couldn't sleep. She heard the black dog bark twice, then make whimpering sounds as if it had seen a relative.
Li Ying hurriedly got out of bed, put on her shoes and clothes, turned on her flashlight, and went to the backyard. The black dog was gnawing on a bone. Looking around, she saw no one.
Someone has been here.
Li Ying followed the path in the backyard to the back door, opened it, and walked to the entrance.
The wind was still, and there was no one around, yet Li Ying could sense his presence. He was probably not far away, but he simply didn't want to come out and meet her.
"Ye Jingchi, is that you? If it's you, come out, I can heal you!"
Li Ying shouted several times into the dark street, but there was no response.
Until Zhou Qi was alerted.
"Miss Ying, what's wrong?"
Li Ying sighed softly, "It's nothing, he was probably sleepwalking."
After saying that, he turned around, but then stopped.
"Ye Jingchi, this is your last chance. If you don't come out this time, even if you stand in front of me again, I won't acknowledge you! Don't think you're so great just because of this. You're just a cowardly and weak person! I will never like someone like that! Never!"
