“But—” Before Shen Qi could finish, Ye Linhan reached out and stroked her head. “Alright. We’ll talk about it in the future. Ye Zi, please go through the discharge procedure and pack up my stuff.”
Shen Qi understood that he was doing it for her sake because she wouldn’t leave the hospital without him leaving first, even if she were told to. He was doing it to force her to leave.
Ye Linhan… Stop being so good to me. I’m not worth it. For some reason, Shen Qi started to feel sorry for him. She felt as if she was the worst person in the world, and she didn’t need Ye Linhan to do so much for her. Moreover, they hadn’t known each other for a long time. Even if he really liked her, he had done more than what she deserved.
In the end, Ye Zi went through the discharge procedure for both of them. Yet, when Yi Zi was going through the discharge process, the doctor suggested, “Both of you may appear to be fine now, but I suggest that you should stay for another two days for further observations. Don’t you have two more days to spare?”
However, the doctor’s persuasion was to no avail. After giving some advice, he signed the papers and let them go.
Shen Qi left the hospital with them. Ye Linhan’s chauffeur had come to fetch them, but when Ye Zi wanted to help Shen Qi to get in, Ye Linhan suddenly said, “Ye Zi, she’s heading somewhere else.”
Ye Zi was startled by his words. “But… are we not leaving with Miss Shen?”
The expressionless Ye Linhan didn’t say a word, while Shen Qi batted her eyes in embarrassment. She then bit her lower lip and said, “It’s fine. I actually have somewhere to go, so I’ll leave here on my own. Both of you can go ahead.”
“Vice President Ye…” Ye Zi didn’t understand the situation. Wasn’t Ye Linhan fond of Shen Qi? Why didn’t he take the opportunity to bring her home? Leaving her behind at the hospital would only give a wrong impression on Shen Qi.
“Get in,” Ye Linhan told Ye Zi to get in the car. His determined gaze had made his stance and attitude crystal clear, therefore she had no other choice but to get in the car.
Shen Qi waved at them after the car door was closed. She wasn’t upset because she knew the real reason behind Ye Linhan’s actions. She was already more than grateful toward him.
As the car moved out of her sight, she gazed upon the view in the distance. When she was about to leave, she heard a sweet voice from nearby. “Qi.”
The sudden emergence of a familiar sweet voice startled Shen Qi, and so she turned around and saw Yan standing on the side of the road with a backpack. The latter put on a beautiful smile and waved vigorously when she saw Shen Qi turning around. “Here!”
Shen Qi was stunned as she looked fixedly at Yan who was on the other side of the street. No wonder… It was no wonder Ye Linhan would leave without any hesitation, for he already had everything prepared. She had lost her phone two days ago and couldn’t contact anyone, thus there was no way Yan would find out what had happened to her. Her appearance at this point in time could only mean that it was all part of Ye Linhan’s plan.
It never occurred to Shen Qi that Ye Linhan had got everything covered for her. As such, her eyes turned red in an instant. Just when she was about to move forward, Yan suddenly shouted, “Don’t move! I’m going over!” Then, Yan dodged the moving cars and crossed the street. She trotted over to Shen Qi and stuffed a bag into her hands. “It’s yours.”
After taking a closer look, Shen Qi realized that it was indeed her bag. “Where did you find my bag?”
“What do you think?” Yan rolled her eyes. “Dummy. You didn’t even question why I showed up. Can’t you even figure out how I got the bag then?”
That’s true… That idea never crossed her mind, so she took over the bag without a word.
“Let’s go. Spending two days in the hospital has made you lose weight. Tsk, look at the corner of your lips… It’s injured. Let’s go to my place. I’ll buy some meat and make you some soup.”
Shen Qi was touched by how good Yan was to her as she followed the latter home. When they arrived at Yan’s home, she didn’t break her promise of making soup for Shen Qi. In fact, the food Shen Qi ate when she was hospitalized was all prepared by Ye Zi’s mother. Therefore, she actually got the best care and even felt at home. Nevertheless, the soup Yan made her gave her a different kind of feeling.
“About your matters… Vice President Ye has told me everything.”
Shen Qi, who was drinking soup, halted upon hearing what Yan said.
“So what do you think? Vice President Ye is nice to you. Are you not giving him a chance? Are you really going back to Young Master Ye?”
Shen Qi remained silent for a moment, then she put down the bowl and asked, “If you were me, would you give up someone you love easily?”
“Of course not,” Yan blurted before she was startled for a moment. When she came back to her senses, she burst into laughter. “Alright, I got it. It’s not hard to love anyone, but it’s hard to find someone who would love you back. Since your love for Young Master Ye is reciprocal, then don’t give up this love just because of any misunderstanding. We’ll look for Young Master Ye later and get it sorted.”
“Okay.” Shen Qi nodded. “But I’m not sure if he wants to meet me… Two days have passed since the incident.”
“Yeah, it has been two days. Even if he’s really mad at you, his anger should be gone by now. So you don’t have to worry about it. I’m sure we’ll get to meet him when we go there later.”
“Hope so.”
After having the meal and cleaning up, they left the house for Seabay Villa. However, when they arrived at the villa, the guards at the door gave them a weird look. Xiao Su wasn’t there, but they weren’t allowed in.
“Doesn’t Young Master Ye want to meet me? Did he give you any orders?”
One of them said in a weakened voice, “He did.”
“He did? What’s the order?”
“Er… He… You’re no longer our Young Lady. He told us to chase you away if you come here.”
Upon hearing that, Shen Qi’s face turned pale in an instant, and her lips twitched as she asked, “I-Is it true?”
“Of course we won’t chase you away, but please don’t make it difficult for us. Since Young Master Ye doesn’t want to meet you, you’d better leave.”
“What are you talking about? He has said those things because he’s still angry. Don’t you get it? If he really doesn’t care about Shen Qi anymore, then he wouldn’t keep giving new orders. But since he’s still giving orders, it means that he’s still angry. And when I say angry, I mean he’s furious. It’ll be difficult if we want to meet him now.” Yan made a thinking gesture and asked, “Is Young Master Ye inside? Or has he gone out?”
The guards found Yan’s analysis reasonable, therefore they didn’t dare to offend Shen Qi. One of them nodded and said, “He has left the villa since this morning.”
“That’s great. He only said that you can’t get in Seabay Villa, but he never said that you can’t go to the Ye Group. Let’s head straight to the company now!”
