Chapter 96 Will he commit suicide this time?
After a long silence, Jian Yan sighed and said, "There are some things I have no choice but to do."
"Unable to control one's own destiny?" Chen Ci raised an eyebrow slightly. "You mean suicide?"
Jian Yan lowered her eyes and murmured softly, "Many things."
"For example?"
After a long silence, he asked briefly, "Mr. Lin left the house in a hurry last night. Did he come to the hospital to see Qingning?"
Chen Ci nodded: "Xiao Yezi seems to be very afraid of thunder."
Jian Yan fidgeted with her fingers: "So, is their relationship one of husband and wife or boyfriend and girlfriend?"
Chen Ci paused for a moment: "...Husband and wife."
Jian Yan's brows furrowed with growing sorrow. Why did Ye Qingning lie to her, saying they were employer and chef...?
"Are they on good terms?" Jianyan asked.
Chen Ci stared at her with probing eyes, but could only see her profile with her eyes slightly lowered. Stray hairs behind her ears slipped down, obscuring her expression, making it impossible to discern her current mood.
After a moment of silence, Chen Ci didn't answer but instead asked, "Why are you asking this? What is your relationship with Xiao Yezi?"
"It's nothing." Jian Yan looked up at him, her expression back to normal. She tucked a stray hair behind her ear and said, "We just met yesterday."
At least in Jian Yan's memory, the two first met, but why Ye Qingning knew her remains a mystery.
Chen Ci's gaze was fixed on her eyes, but he could only see a vast and desolate look in them. After a moment, he curled his lips into a smile.
"When I saw you today, you seemed very afraid to go back to the Lin residence. Did something happen?" Chen Ci stared at her with sharp eyes.
Jian Yan didn't avoid his gaze, and her tone was indifferent: "It's nothing, I'm just afraid of thunder too."
Chen Ci discovered that Jian Yan was not the little girl he remembered from yesterday who would blush whenever she saw him; she seemed to have some secrets as well.
"When did your headache start? I can give you a brain scan. Some conditions are easier to treat the earlier they are detected."
"No need, Dr. Chen. Thank you for today anyway." Jian Yan smiled and said, "It was a pleasure to meet you."
Chen Ci raised an eyebrow slightly: "So you won't commit suicide after you go back this time, right?"
Staring into his deep, gentle eyes, Jian Yan blushed again: "I don't know, it depends."
Chen Ci narrowed her eyes slightly, answering the question in the same casual tone as when he had just asked what she wanted to eat for lunch.
Just then, the IV drip finished, and the nurse came in to remove the needle from Jianyan's body.
He thanked Chen Ci in a concise and very polite manner: "Thank you, Dr. Chen Ci, goodbye."
Chen Ci did not get up, his gaze lingering on her figure as she disappeared down the corridor.
After a moment of contemplation, he made a phone call to Lin Feiyan. Lin Feiyan's deep voice answered the call: "Have you found anything?"
Chen Ci laughed: "Looks like I'll have to disappoint you, boss. Miss Ye's medical report is all normal, including the brain scan. She and Jian Yan really didn't know each other before."
"Mm," Lin Feiyan replied, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Look at what you're saying, I was counting on the funds the company allocated for my research."
"Don't worry, you'll get your share."
"Thank you, Boss!" Chen Ci's tone was exceptionally obsequious: "Miss Ye's arm can't exert any force for a while, so please be careful."
Lin Fei said, "...Shut up!"
Before Chen Ci could say anything more, Lin Feiyan hung up the phone. He scratched his head, got up, and left the infusion room.
...
After lying in bed for a while, it was lunchtime. Jian Yan went on strike, and Ye Qingning had to take on the responsibility of cooking again.
She went downstairs with her phone in her hand and just saw Lin Feiyan coming out of the study. The man was wearing a white casual outfit, which unexpectedly made him look serene and refined, but the emotions in his eyes were extremely indifferent.
Their eyes met, and they both froze.
Ye Qingning was somewhat surprised to find that Lin Feiyan was elegant and noble, and incredibly handsome today. In particular, a hint of a smile appeared in his very light eyes, which made her heart sink.
The rhythm was disrupted for a moment.
