Shu Nian told him everything that happened in the afternoon. But he didn't mention Ming Wanjun. Not a single word.
Ye Yan lowered his head and looked at her, as if he could see through her. "Why did you suddenly cry so sadly just now? Is it because Ning Meng is pregnant, or because of these injuries, or... is there something else that happened that I don't know about?"
Ye Yan could feel that kind of sadness and grief, and it was probably not only related to Xiang Muyang.
It would have been fine if he didn't ask. As soon as he asked, Shu Nian's eyes suddenly became wet. She closed her eyes and remained silent for a long time. Ye Yan felt distressed when he saw her, and was more and more certain that she was hiding something else in her heart. It was the first time that he was so calm and just whispered: "If you don't want to say it, don't say it. I won't force you."
Shu Nian did not respond, but suddenly turned sideways and pressed closer to him. Ye Yan felt her dependence and trust, and his heart was moved, so he hugged her.
———
Shu Nian was lying on Ye Yan's legs, already a little dazed.
Ye Yan was very busy, and occasionally she would be heard talking on the phone, as if urging the other party to come over. Shu Nian didn't investigate carefully, and closed her eyes and fell asleep. In this short sleep, she dreamed...
I dreamed of my father, I dreamed of my mother...
She was still very young at that time. On the green lawn, the spring breeze was blowing, and many kites were flying in the wind above her head. She trotted into her mother's arms, asked for a kiss, and then giggled and chased after her father flying the kite.
The years at that time were so beautiful that she didn't want to wake up easily.
until…
The cell phone rings.
Shu Nian slowly opened her eyes, and Ye Yan helped her get the phone from the side, "Do you want to listen?"
"Yeah. Listen."
When she woke up, the dream was over. She knew better that the more beautiful the dream was, the more cruel the reality was. All the beauty she had once had, now could no longer be grasped...
She took the phone and looked at it. It was the head nurse calling. She picked up the phone and put it to her ear.
"Head nurse."
"Have you treated your wound? I couldn't find you anywhere."
Shu Nian glanced at Ye Yan, then pointed at the wound on his forehead. Ye Yan held his hand. Then he said, "Well, it's been taken care of."
"That's good." The head nurse was relieved and said, "Mrs. Xiang is looking for you again... Although I have asked Qiqi to take your shift, she is clearly looking for trouble with you. She said she wants to file a collective complaint against us."
If it were usual, Shu Nian would definitely go and meet that unreasonable person again despite his injury.
But…
When she thought of the other person who would appear in the ward, she was silent for a while, and then she just said apologetically: "I'm sorry, head nurse, I have caused you trouble."
"I can't blame you. They are just too bullying. Don't worry, if they cause trouble again, I won't let you go there again."
"Go ahead." When Shu Nian was about to say something, Ye Yan suddenly spoke up beside him. Shu Nian was stunned and looked up at him. He checked the time on his wrist and said, "It's about time. They should be here soon. It's a good time for us to go meet Madam Xiang together."
Shu Nian didn't understand what Ye Yan said, so he just asked, "Who are they?"
"You'll find out when you get there." Ye Yan kept it a secret, took the phone from Shu Nian's hand, and said to the head nurse, "Tell Madam Xiang that there's no need to complain, Shu Nian will be there soon."
The head nurse was stunned when she heard his voice. The next moment, she suddenly understood - Young Master Ye is back, so doesn't that mean someone will support Shu Nian
Ye Yan hung up Shu Nian’s phone and handed it to Shu Nian.
He had already stood up and straightened his shirt. Shu Nian also stood up and looked at him, "Are you going to look for them?"
"Yeah." Ye Yan's eyes swept across her face, and finally landed on her red and swollen eyes. "Don't tell me, do you want me to let your tears and grievances be in vain?"
Shu Nian shook his head, "Of course not. It's just..."
Ye Yan looked at her inquiringly, "You don't want to go?"
She didn't seem to be very willing to go. Shu Nian was silent, his eyes slightly lowered, and he didn't say anything. Ye Yan held her cold hand, "If you don't want to go, just wait here for me to come back, and let me handle everything else. Including-"
Ye Yan paused, then continued: "You and Xiang Muyang, about your divorce."
When Shu Nian heard this, he looked up at Ye Yan. Then, after thinking for a while, he held his hand back and said, "Ye Yan, I'll go with you."
No matter who or what she doesn't want to face, it will be easier to face it with Ye Yan around.
What's wrong with that
Shu Nian told himself this, but when he actually followed Ye Yan downstairs, his heart still skipped a beat and his hands and feet felt cold at the thought of seeing that person again.
Ye Yan could clearly sense that she was not normal. However, he did not ask any questions throughout the whole process. He just held her cold hand tightly, as if to convey both warmth and strength to her.
When the two arrived at the ward, someone was already waiting outside. A young stranger. He was dressed in a formal suit and carrying a briefcase. Shu Nian took a quick look and vaguely felt that he was a lawyer.
Seeing Ye Yan coming over, the other party had already walked slowly closer, "Master Ye."
Ye Yan nodded, "Have you brought everything?"
"I brought them all."
"go in."
Ye Yan raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Inside, Madam Xiang heard the voice and stood up, "It must be Shu Nian. I'll ask her to come over and massage your legs."
The last sentence was said by Ning Meng.
Xiang Muyang put down the fruit in his hand and said, "I'll go open the door."
The reason he agreed to let Shu Nian in was because he couldn't find her at all. She had blacklisted his phone number and couldn't get through to him. He was anxious, wondering if she was feeling better, if her wound had been treated, and if she was still in pain...
"Muyang." Xiang Muyang just stood up, Ning Meng held him back, "Just let your aunt go, it's just opening the door."
As she was talking, Madam Xiang had already walked to the door. As soon as the door was opened a crack, she saw Shu Nian and was about to make a sarcastic remark, but when she saw Ye Yan following behind Shu Nian, her heart skipped a beat and her expression changed.
What is Shu Nian doing here with Ye Yan
"Madam Xiang, I have come here uninvited. You will not unwelcome me, will you?" Ye Yan put one hand in his pocket and protectively put his arm around Shu Nian's shoulders with the other hand, holding her in his arms.
Madam Xiang felt uneasy and couldn't figure out Ye Yan's intentions.
Xiang Muyang heard Ye Yan's voice inside, how could he sit still? He pushed Ning Meng's hand away, stood up and strode to the door. He opened the door and saw Ye Yan, and then saw the action between the two of them, his expression suddenly became cold, "What are you doing here?"
