Before leaving, Chen Zhi thought of Xiao Wu's unreliability and couldn't help but give him some more instructions.
"Then, am I really dead?" Chen Zhi wanted to pull her hand out of the man's hand, but she couldn't move. "...Xiao Wu has been waiting outside for a while."
The man seemed to have returned to his usual self.
Hearing this, he sneered disapprovingly.
He raised an eyebrow: "I've been waiting for so long, what's wrong with asking him to wait?"
A double entendre.
Chen Zhi suddenly became curious, blinked twice, and asked with a smile, "Oh, how long have you been waiting?"
Xie Jinyan lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on Chen Zhi's face.
That palm-sized face looked even more flawless under the light, and her smiling eyes curved into a bright moon, as bright and clear as ever.
When does it start.
Xie Jinyan wasn't sure.
But what is certain is that -
The man leaned over to look at her at eye level.
Those dark eyes seemed to be soaked in ink, and the bottom of his usually calm and indifferent eyes was filled with a gentleness and tenderness that even he himself had never noticed.
"It'll take longer than you think."
…
"What? Ayan is in the hospital?" When Mr. Xie heard that Xie Jinyan was in the hospital, his face was full of tension, "What happened? What happened to him? Is he okay?"
The housekeeper comforted Mr. Xie and sat him down. "Don't worry, Master. I haven't finished talking yet. The young master is in the hospital, but he is fine. The test results are out. It's just a common fever and cold."
Mr. Xie finally put his heart at ease.
But he felt something was wrong, "The test results are out? When was Ayan admitted to the hospital?"
The housekeeper paused and said, "It was probably around 1:30 in the afternoon."
The old man frowned even deeper, and his aged voice was filled with anger, "I was admitted to the hospital this afternoon. What time is it now? Why did you just get the news? Are the people in the hospital just there to eat and do nothing?"
"Don't be angry first. It's not that they failed to do their job. It's because the young master told them not to alarm you with the smallest things. That's why they didn't report it in time."
The old man was stunned and frowned: "Then why is it that now..."
Housekeeper: "The hospital said that the young master refused to take medicine, and they were worried about the continuation of the illness, so they reported the situation."
The old man got angry again after hearing this: "You have a fever and you still refuse to take medicine?! That brat is just making a fool of himself! I'm going to -"
Butler: "I have already eaten it."
The old man was just about to make a phone call and ask someone to give him the medicine no matter what, but he lost his temper when he heard this.
After a few seconds of silence, "Can we finish talking at once next time?"
Butler: “Sorry.”
The old man waved his hand.
He didn't forget what day yesterday was, and it was even less likely that Ayan would forget.
It should have been a day full of laughter and blessings, but it became a shadow in his life.
Although this was an accident, Ayan didn't seem to think so.
He took all the blame on himself.
It was clearly his birthday, but every year on this day, he would atone for his sins in his own way, as if doing so would make him feel better.
Just after yesterday, Ayan fell ill.
If he is determined not to take the medicine, given his stubborn personality, even if you force him to drink it, he will find a way to vomit it all out.
My father and I are both gentle people.
I don't know who he inherited this sharp temper from.
Mr. Xie sighed, "So, why did he agree to take medicine later?"
The housekeeper paused, "Maybe it was because of Qi Wei...Miss Shen went there."
"And according to the report from the people we sent to watch the young master, Miss Shen also appeared at dusk last night, but she was far away and it was dark, so they were not sure who she was."
"You also know that the young master has always been sensitive. Those who watched secretly were afraid of being discovered, so they only dared to follow from a distance. Later, when they saw them get on the car, they did not dare to follow them."
"It wasn't until I saw Miss Shen in the hospital that day that I finally confirmed it."
After listening to this, Mr. Xie was a little bit unbelievable: "Did Chen Zhi also accompany A Yan last night?"
"Did A Yan tell her about this?" Without waiting for the butler to answer, Mr. Xie shook his head, "No, it's impossible. Even if it was Chen Zhi, A Yan would not take the initiative to mention this to her."
The housekeeper nodded in agreement. "It is said that Miss Shen arrived very late, and the young master looked very surprised at the time. It didn't seem like he knew Miss Shen would appear, and..."
The housekeeper paused, “Miss Shen seemed to know that it was the young master’s birthday, and she even brought a cake.”
Mr. Xie was really stunned this time.
Except for those closest to him, almost no one knows the exact date of Ayan's real birthday. Even the prominent families close to the Xie family are not sure about it.
So, how did Chen Zhi know?
Ayan himself would definitely not say it.
As the most powerful family in this circle, it is impossible for the Shen family to know what happened back then, things that even Shen Hongyi didn't know, let alone his daughter.
The housekeeper looked at his face and considered for a moment: "Master, do you need me to find someone to go..."
Mr. Xie knew what the butler wanted to say, so he waved his hand before the butler finished speaking, "Forget it, that's not necessary."
"But……"
"Ayan is not a fool. I believe in his judgment. Besides, if there is someone who really approaches Ayan with a purpose, it would not be Chen Zhi."
The housekeeper asked, “Why?”
Mr. Xie glanced at him and said, "Did you watch that love show that I watched three times together?"
He stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"Although I am old, my eyes are very good and I can see clearly."
"Tsk, I wasn't attracted to Ayan at first. It's obvious that Ayan liked me first, but I'm secretly spreading my peacock tail to attract my attention like crazy."
"I think the one with the most ulterior motives is definitely that brat Ayan."
housekeeper:"……"
"However, A Yan is willing to let Chen Zhi spend his birthday with him. Does this mean that the pain in his heart has been healed a little?"
Mr. Xie sighed.
"I'm old and can't stay with him for too long. If someone can stay with Ayan instead of me, I won't have anything to worry about."
