Before the assistant had time to speak, a low and deep voice had already been transmitted over, "Get one serving of all the life-saving dishes in the Alchemy Hall. Also, bring some nutrition products, suitable for the patients, and send them all to the City Doctor. Room 1602 on the 16th floor of District C, immediately, immediately."

The assistant listened respectfully on the other end of the phone. Even though she had doubts in her heart, Director Yan's matters were not something they could meddle in. They could just do whatever they were told, so they quickly answered the call.

Yu Xi listened to his phone with a slight frown before shifting her gaze back to Yan Chen. Her pursed lips slowly opened, and her voice had become a little hoarse from the excitement from before. "How did you know about my mother's ward?"

As soon as she asked, she realized who Yan Chen was and that he must have investigated everything about her. She was no longer displeased and only felt a chill in her heart as she asked again, "What are you doing?"

Yan Chen's black eyes swept across her and indifferently replied, "How stupid are you? What else can I do? "

Yu Xi had already calmed down and knew that her reaction had been too emotional, but she didn't feel that it was inappropriate. She needed to vent after being suppressed for too long. Coincidentally, her words had ignited her spark.

Looking at Yan Chen's current expression, she knew that he was not angry, so there was no unease in her heart. She looked at him with an expressionless face, "You asked your subordinate to bring you so many things. Is it because of this food that's hard to swallow?"

He didn't want to answer her stupid question. He crossed his legs and leaned back in his chair, one hand resting on the bench. His fingers tapped lightly.

Yu Xi's eyelids drooped down as she looked at her red hands that were just clenched. She could still see the marks of her fingernails being pinched in her palms. She felt like she was a hedgehog today.

She still couldn't hold herself back, and said with a slightly sarcastic tone, "Then thank you, Director Yan, for your good will, but no need, you still have to call your assistant, so that he won't waste his energy. My mom might not be used to your delicacies."

He turned to Yu Xi with an indifferent expression, his eyes carrying a hint of playfulness. He nonchalantly tilted his head and said, "It doesn't matter, if you don't like it, then throw it away. I can ask them to bring something else over.

Yu Xi's anger had almost dissipated by now, but when she heard Yan Chen, she actually felt a little helpless. This man really did hold a grudge. It seemed that she had to be more careful in the future and not offend him.

She was about to open her mouth and refuse when Yan Chen suddenly stood up and cast a sidelong glance at her. Her eyes didn't have the slightest emotion as she indifferently said, "They're gone. They should be here." With that, he turned around and began to walk forward.

Looking at his cold and slender back, Yu Xi looked at the packed lunchbox beside her and suddenly remembered that her mother still didn't know the existence of Yan Chen. If she did, then … She instantly picked up the lunchbox and ran after him.

"Yan Chen!" Yu Xi ran over to Yan Chen's side. She frowned as she looked up at him anxiously. "You can't go. My mom doesn't know about you …"

"I don't know what it is, but I'll know it soon." He did not let her finish her sentence and continued walking forward, interrupting her with a faint voice.

Seeing that she was about to reach her mother's ward, Yu Xi wanted to stop her. "You …" However, when she caught sight of a person standing at the door of the ward with a big and small bag in his hand, she immediately shuddered. She bit her lips slightly and slowed down her pace.

Looking at Yan Chen's wide shoulders, he showed no signs of slowing down. She knew she could not stop him. She took a deep breath and followed behind Yan Chen.

When the assistant at the door saw Yan Chen steadily walking over, he respectfully called out to her, "Director Yan," ignoring her, he turned sideways and walked straight into the ward. The assistant followed closely behind him, and Yu Xi braced herself to enter at the last moment.

Wen Li was currently lying on the bed, looking out the window. When she heard the commotion, she turned around and saw two men she didn't know walked in, and she was a little confused. A trace of doubt floated on her pale face, but when she saw Yu Xi, who walked in last, she hastily called out to her, "Xiao Xi, who are these two …?"

Yu Xi slightly frowned, not knowing how to answer her mother's question. She looked at Yan Chen, then looked at her mother. "He is …"

"Hello Auntie, I'm Yan Chen, a friend of Yu Xi. I came to see you after knowing that you were sick." Yu Xi was slightly surprised to find that his voice was clear and gentle for the first time, and was even so polite.

Yu Xi quickly went forward to help her up and placed the pillow behind her. She looked at Yan Chen with a gentle smile, and her pale lips formed a surprised smile, "You're a friend of Xiao Xi, hurry, Xiao Xi, bring Yan Chen a chair for him to sit on."

Saying that, she turned her head to look at Yu Xi with a face full of disapproval. With a tone of reproach, she said, "Child, even if your friend comes, you still won't say anything. Looking at my appearance, I'm really sorry."

Seeing Wen Li's pale and thin face, Yu Xi's heart ached slightly. Just as she wanted to speak, her heavy voice sounded out once more, "Auntie, don't blame Yu Xi, I insisted on coming. I brought some supplements for you, you haven't eaten breakfast yet right? I had someone bring you some food. Have a taste, see if it suits your appetite."

The assistant at the side put the tonic aside and then took out the dishes to set them up. Wen Li hurriedly thanked him. "Look at you, you're here just like that. What are you even taking?" She couldn't help but sigh. "I can't eat anymore, so I'm troubling you."

"You should eat more or less. It will also be beneficial to your body's recovery if you eat well." He tried to persuade her with a warm tone.

Yu Xi stood at the side with an expressionless face. However, she was surprised to find that she did not say anything. Her eyes calmly sized up Yan Chen, but Yan Chen did not mind.

She had seen Jin Zhong speak so few words, yet he always had a cold expression on his face. He could actually speak so many words in one breath, and he even had a gentle and courteous smile on his face. Although his eyes were still calm, his aura was not as sharp and cold as it used to be.
