Chapter 284 Along the Way
A warm feeling involuntarily washed over Jian Yan. She quickly walked over, closed her umbrella, and got into the car. While fastening her seatbelt, she asked, "Where are you going?"
"My brother just moved to a new place," Chen Ci asked her. "What about you? I'll take you there first."
He briefly gave an address, saying, "It's quite close by; it's company-assigned accommodation. Is it on your way?"
Chen Ci repeated the address she had given him, a meaningful look appearing in his eyes: "It's on the way."
As the car drove forward, Jian Yan turned to look at Chen Ci's beautifully curved, cold profile, and after a long while asked in a low voice, "Chen Chu has been discharged from the hospital?"
“Yes.” Chen Ci turned to look at her. “I’ll have to trouble you to take care of him in the future. His legs are still not very convenient.”
Jian Yan paused for a moment: "He's in the president's office, and I'm in the artist management department. We're not on the same floor, so we don't see each other very often."
Chen Ci smiled slightly but didn't say much. The car sped through the misty rain.
"How has Mr. Lin been lately?" Jian Yan suddenly asked. "I haven't seen him in a long time."
Chen Ci's smile faded, and his eyes dimmed: "He should be the saddest person. I haven't seen him smile since Xiao Yezi left. He's become the same as before, cold and hard."
Jianyan's heart suddenly ached. She raised her hand to press it, and after a while, she said, "I hope he can think more positively."
Chen Ci tightened his grip on the steering wheel: "From what you're saying, it sounds like Xiao Yezi isn't coming back."
Jian Yan closed her eyes briefly to suppress the stinging in her eyes: "I don't know."
Seeing the deep emotions in her eyes, Chen Ci's lips curled up, but it was also clear that the smile was forced: "Actually, it's okay. Let's live our own lives. She'll be happy to see this when she comes back."
Jian Yan remained silent. She understood what Chen Ci meant, but when would Ye Qingning be able to return?
When she didn't respond, Chen Ci added a touch of persuasion to his tone: "Especially you, I think Xiao Yezi is most worried about you... We all have our own lives, I hope you can also live well for yourself, please yourself, and live a good life."
Jian Yan turned to look at him. The man's profile had a touch of gentle elegance, and a faint smile played on his lips, which inexplicably made her heart flutter.
She quickly looked away and lowered her eyes: "Yes, I will."
After a long silence, Jian Yan suddenly said, "You too, take care, she will come back."
Chen Ci tapped his fingertips on the steering wheel and chuckled softly, "I'm fine, the same as always. The only difference is that if she can come back, I can go abroad to work on my project."
Jian Yan nodded: "Mm..."
The car quickly arrived at the apartment building. Chen Ci parked the car in the parking space and took out two bags of things from the trunk, including groceries and daily necessities.
It looks like I'll have to go upstairs with her.
“So…” Jian Yan was a little confused.
"Let's go upstairs."
Jian Yan followed him into the elevator with a suspicious look. She pressed the button for the 10th floor, but Chen Ci glanced at it and didn't move.
Having roughly figured out the answer in his mind, Jianyan didn't ask any more questions.
After exiting the elevator, Chen Ci walked a few steps to two adjacent apartment doors, 1001 and 1002. He walked to the door of apartment 1001 and rang the doorbell.
The door was quickly opened, and Chen Chu, dressed in pajamas, stood in the doorway. He paused for a moment when he saw Jian Yan, then smiled and said, "Come in."
