âHehe, although youâre not Tang Sanzang, youâre more attractive than him.â
âHey, you are spilling your drool on me.â
âOh, donât mind the details.â
âDonât cut the queue you guys. The abs are mine,â said the young nurse with A-cup chest.
âItâs mine!â Another young nurse said.
âThe collarbone is mine,â the C-cup nurse said.
âThe pecs are mine,â the D-cup nurse said.
âF*ck, you guys are too much,â Qiao Xin said. âIâll let you guys split it, but youâre leaving the crotch to me?â
âIsnât that part the most valuable?â
âBut Iâm afraid Director Li will kill me.â
âHahaâ¦â
With Qiao Xin and a dozen nurses chasing after him, it took more than half an hour for Lin Yi to finish changing the dressing. He stayed in the hospital with Li Chuhan for a while before driving to Liang Ruoxuâs place.
âHowâs the shoulder wound?â
In the office, Liang Ruoxu poured a glass of water for Lin Yi with a concerned expression. She couldnât stay as calm as Li Chuhan.
âAs long as I donât do anything strenous, 1â11 be fine after ten to eight days.â
âStay in Zhonghai from now on and donât go anywhere else.â
âOnce bitten, twice shy. This whole thing was an accident.â
âI donât even know what to say to you.â Liang Ruoxu lectured.
âIf thereâs anything, just give me a call. Iâll settle it for you in minutes. You wonât have to go through so much trouble.â
âThatâs true, but I canât trouble others for what I can do myself.â
Liang Ruoxu frowned. âAm 1 considered someone else?â
âNo, no, no. Youâre my wife.â
âDonât be cheeky with me.â
Lin Yi placed his hands behind his head and leaned back in his chair.
âAlthough there was an accident, itâs not like we didnât gain anything. Didnât we find a reason to deal with the Wang familyâs remaining members? Otherwise, the people they left in the Central Guards Brigade would be like ticking time bombs. I reckon Old Lu has been waiting for this opportunity.â
âHmph, I guess heâs the only one whoâs happy about this.â
âWho cares whoâs happy, as long as itâs a net-positive,â Lin Yi said.
âIf we can really bring down the Wang family through this incident, other than Old Lu, both the Liang family and myself will also benefit greatly.â
Naturally, Liang Ruoxu was aware of these simple principles.
However, she was a hundred times unwilling to exchange Lin Yiâs life for it.
âOkay, okay, letâs not talk about this anymore.â
At this point, Liang Ruoxu knew that there was no point in dwelling on it. They might as well discuss something else.
âIs there anything wrong with your company and the people around you?â
Lin Yi smiled. He knew what Liang Ruoxu was referring to.
âIf something were to happen, I wouldnât be able to come to you unscathed.â
âBut itâs been so many days, yet thereâs no movement from the Wang family at all. Iâm a little relieved.â
Lin Yiâs expression also changed.
âIâm also puzzled. It doesnât seem like the Wang familyâs style at all. Itâs as if they donât intend to pursue the matter.â
âI canât say anything else, but Iâm certain that the Wang family will not let this matter rest,â Liang Ruoxu said.
âThe longer they stay hidden, the greater the threat to you.â
âClever.â
âSo donât idle around during this period of time. Do your own things well and donât give them an opening.â
âSure thing.â
After discussing work, the two of them spent some cozy time in the office, leaving Liang Ruoxu feeling uncomfortable all over. Then, he left with a confident demeanor.
Back at Chaoyang Group, Ji Qingyan had just finished her work.
He was prepared to shop at the supermarket together with her.
With Lin Yi accompanying her, Ji Qingyan was in a good mood. She wanted to buy everything she saw. Unknowingly, her shopping cart was soon filled, so she could only push another one over.
âWhy do 1 feel like the two of us are here to buy shelter supplies?â
âItâs just that the fridge at home is empty. Thereâs nothing left inside.â
âYou still have the cheek to say that.â Lin Yi smiled.
âWhy didnât you come by and restock it?â
âItâs meaningless for me to shop for groceries when youâre not at home.â
âThis is such a ceremonial place. Itâd only be interesting if two people walked around together.â
âIs that a ritual?â
âYes, itâs a ritual.â
âI remember when I was a child, supermarkets werenât popular back then. We used to shop at open-air markets, and our family of three often went together to buy groceries. It felt like a real part of life because we were getting things that were so closely related to our daily living.â
âEnenen⦠thatâs true.â
Lin Yi felt that children from rich families were indeed different.
How could shopping at a market be so insightful?
When he was young, he went to the market with his mother just to get ice cream from the market and see the hot lady selling steamed buns.
Lin Yi felt that his hobby of eating steamed buns should have been nurtured from that period.
The two of them shopped for more than an hour and bought two shopping carts of items before she was satisfied.
âThank you for your hard work, Mr. Lin.â
In the past, Ji Qingyan would share the burden with Lin Yi when they went out to the supermarket.
But now, this had already become a habit. These physical labors were borne Lin Yiâs, and she only carried some of the vegetables.
Looking at the fruits and vegetables in the cart, Lin Yi felt a little melancholic.
With his current state, this would be a test. He could only pray that his wound was fine. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After more than twenty minutes, Lin Yi brought everything to the car.
Just as he heaved a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt a touch of coldness on his skin.
What the f*ck!
Needless to say, Lin Yi knew that the wound had opened!
He had to hurry over to Li Chuhanâs place to deal with it.
âWhat happened?â
Noticing that Lin Yiâs expression was off, Ji Qingyan asked.
âIâm fine,â Lin Yi said, âDrive home!â
âHuh?â Her smile blossomed like a flower.
âI was too tired yesterday. Iâll show you something when we get home today. Consider it a welcome party.â
Compared to yesterday, Ji Qingyan was exceptionally happy today.
âUh⦠Then letâs go home quickly.â
After packing up the things they had bought, the two of them got into the car.
Lin Yi held his phone and hurriedly sent a WeChat message to Shen Tianzhuo behind Ji Qingyanâs back.
âCall me in half an hour and tell me to work overtime at the hospital.â
After sending the message, Lin Yi put his phone back in his pocket and returned to the car as if nothing had happened.
He had asked Shen Tianzhuo to do this before. After seeing his WeChat, he would definitely understand what Lin Yi meant.
After all, he used to be a playboy himself.
As expected, Lin Yiâs phone rang half an hour later.
Moreover, the timing of the call was spot on.
This detail showed how rigorous a scientistâs methodology was.
âWhat? You have a problem that canât be dealt with?
âAlright, iâll be there in a while..â
