Chapter 284: Taking the Hook
After seeing the excitement at the He family, Xu Xiaoyue stayed in the hospital for two more days to protect her fetus.
The doctor said that her body was fine and there would be no other problems even if she did not stay in the hospital. However, Xu Xiaoyue still stayed in the hospital for a few more days on the pretext of dizziness, nausea and vomiting.
She stayed in the hospital just to find an excuse to delay her return.
If she recovers, Yan Ye will definitely use the same excuse as before and ask her to go back to the capital.
Not only Yan Ye, but Aunt Zhang would probably also persuade her.
Xu Xiaoyue hasn't decided whether to go back or not.
In that conversation Liu Ye had with her, she kept saying that she was not worthy of Yan Ye. Thinking back on it now, Xu Xiaoyue felt uncomfortable.
But these few days, Yan Ye was still accompanying her without any hurry. He was usually busy and could not be seen at all, but now he was free.
It would have been fine if he just stayed in the hospital, but he also had to keep an eye on her diet.
If Xu Xiaoyue wanted to eat some delicious food, she had to wait for Aunt Zhang to bring it to her quietly.
The two of them seemed to be secretly comparing who could endure longer.
The hospital was filled with the smell of disinfectant, which was not only pungent but also poorly soundproofed. In the middle of the night, one could always hear people walking in the corridor. Xu Xiaoyue couldn't stand it for more than two days.
Xu Xiaoyue got up early today and washed herself with the hot water Yan Ye brought. "I want to go home."
The man looked at her, and before anyone could speak, Xu Xiaoyue was afraid that he would misunderstand, so she answered first: "I mean to go back to Aunt Zhang's yard."
Yan Ye said "hmm" lightly when he heard this, and he looked up at the clock on the wall.
"At this time, let's eat breakfast first."
When Xu Xiaoyue heard what he said, her head shook like a rattle.
"No, no, I'm going to go back and ask Aunt Zhang to make some for me."
The breakfast Yan Ye was talking about was most likely fish porridge. The port city is close to the sea and there are many kinds of seafood.
Last time, the doctor just casually mentioned that pregnant women should eat more seafood to supplement their nutrition. She has been drinking fish porridge for several days in a row.
It would be more delicious if Aunt Zhang cooked her a bowl of noodles.
Seeing how strongly she was resisting, Yan Ye just took a deep look at the girl's pitiful and wrinkled face and said in an ambiguous tone.
"Don't yell if you're hungry later."
Xu Xiaoyue had her back to the crowd, packing her luggage with a huff and puff. She responded casually, "Hungry? We'll be back soon, so it's not easy to get hungry for a while."
Aunt Zhang doesn't refuse to cook for her, so how could she starve?
Yan Ye squinted his eyes and looked at the calendar on the table. "I'll make a phone call."
Xu Xiaoyue packed her luggage in a short while, and Yan Ye followed behind her carrying it.
When they walked out of the hospital, a car was already parked at the intersection waiting for them.
The driver came out from the driver's seat, saluted and said, "Commander, we are ready."
When Xu Xiaoyue heard this, she looked at Yan Ye in surprise. She was just going home, so why did she need to call a driver?
Yan Ye looked straight ahead, and explained calmly, "After sending you off, the driver will take me to do something."
The implication was that he didn't come here specially to see Xu Xiaoyue off.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that she had become too suspicious after the kidnapping incident.
Yan Ye was, after all, an upright military officer, and he would not do the kind of robbery and plunder that she had in mind.
After Yan Ye finished explaining, he gently pushed Xu Xiaoyue forward with his hand on her lower back. He opened the car door and said calmly, "Get in."
Xu Xiaoyue glanced into the car, her eyelids twitched suddenly, and she became a little hesitant. She was about to tell Yan Ye that she could go back alone.
But the man didn't give her the chance to refuse. He squeezed in almost the next second after she got on the car.
The already small space seemed even more crowded once Yan Ye came in.
With a "click", the car lock fell down and even the car window went up. It was so quick and clean that she didn't even have a chance to regret.
Xu Xiaoyue shrank her body and sat aside, but the next second the man held her shoulders and pulled her back.
"What are you hiding from?" he asked in an unhappy tone.
Xu Xiaoyue didn't say anything, her chin resting on the car window, her eyes looking out the window.
Xiao Yang, the driver driving in front, glanced at the two of them through the rearview mirror and muttered to himself, could it be that Commander Yan didn't tell his wife that he was going to the capital?
Judging from the woman's attire, she didn't look like she was going on a long journey, as she was wearing furry slippers.
This...if the other party is unwilling, wouldn't he become an accomplice?
Thinking of the rumors in the army, they all said that Commander Yan’s wife had a bad temper and was just dating someone without getting a marriage certificate.
I don't think they will ask him to drive directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau in the capital in the end. Will he agree or not?
Xiao Yang thought his sight was very hidden, but he was still discovered by Yan Ye. The man's dark and cold gaze met his in mid-air.
Xiao Yang shuddered for no reason, and immediately sat up straight and looked forward.
Xu Xiaoyue always felt something was weird, something was not right, but she couldn't tell what was wrong, so she could only let the car move forward.
She was a little sleepy at first, but now she was no longer sleepy due to her panic, and she stared outside through the car window.
The more she looked, the more she felt something was wrong. Aunt Zhang's yard was not far from the hospital. Even if she took the longest route, she would have reached the entrance of the alley by now.
Xu Xiaoyue glanced at the driver, then turned to stare at Yan Ye, "How long will it take to get there?"
Yan Ye glanced at her dissatisfied face and asked, "Are you hungry?"
After he finished speaking, he took out a snack from somewhere and handed it to Xu Xiaoyue, "Eat some of this first."
Xu Xiaoyue looked down and saw the biscuits she usually liked to eat. "Where are you going?"
Neither of them answered, as if they had completely ignored her.
Xu Xiaoyue couldn't stand this depressing atmosphere. She stared at the man's face and said, "Isn't this the way back to Aunt Zhang's yard?"
This time she used an affirmative sentence.
Yan Ye said nothing, but reached out and pulled the girl's seat belt, as if testing whether it was secure.
Xu Xiaoyue bit her lip. Seeing that Yan Ye still had no intention of paying attention to her, she looked away and leaned forward, "Stop driving. Stop right there."
Xiao Yang was at a loss as to what to do. He dared not say a word and looked at Yan Ye beside him for help.
"Keep driving." Yan Ye raised his eyelids and said without emotion.
Xu Xiaoyue shook off the man's hand and moved forward to look at the driver in the driving seat.
"Comrade, if you keep driving, I'm going to call the police for illegally detaining women."
"Now turn around and go back to the hospital entrance, and I'll pretend nothing happened."
She said this not only to the driver, but also to secretly remind Yan Ye who was standing next to her.
Xiao Yang paused as he gripped the steering wheel, wishing he could shrink into the ground.
He only knew that working under Commander Yan would easily lead to psychological pressure, but he never expected that one day he would be condemned by law.
Xu Xiaoyue pointed to the road sign next to her and said, "Comrade, if it really doesn't work, you can just drop me off here and I can go home by myself."
Yan Ye sat aside, and seemed to be unable to bear it any longer and spoke up, "We are on our way home now, and we still have a long day. Eat something first."
