Ye Yan Xi's hands moved under the blanket for a moment, then he blinked his watery eyes and looked at Xiao Yu with utmost sincerity. "There really isn't anything in my blanket."

As she spoke, she slowly moved the book in her hands and then immediately pressed it under her body. As she did all of this, she honestly looked at Xiao Yu and finally put the book away, secretly relieved.

It was given to her by the patient next door.

The one next door happened to be an Italian, and the book he gave her was also an Italian original. As for the origin of this book, it was due to the fact that all of her books had been taken away by Xiao Yu. As such, she felt extremely bored, so she strolled around outside for a bit and saw her neighbor reading, so she borrowed a book.

Seeing that she was also very familiar with Italian, the other party lent the book to her straightforwardly after they got to know each other.

At this moment, Ye Yan was completely engrossed with the contents of the book. Who knew that Xiao Yu would return so quickly?

This book was borrowed by her, and wasn't hers, so she couldn't let Xiao Yu take it away.

So, no matter how cold Xiao Yu's eyes were and how embarrassed his expression was, Ye Yan Xi wouldn't let go.

The book had already been pinned under her butt, so looking at Xiao Yu's forceful gaze, Ye Yan Xi honestly lifted up the blanket and revealed the scene underneath. Coincidentally, the hospital gown was quite loose, perfectly covering the book.

"See, I said no, right?" Afraid that Xiao Yu would notice something amiss, Ye Yan Xi quickly pulled up the blanket after him and smiled. Under the bright light, his smile was dazzling, but it was hard to tell what he was thinking about with his dark pupils.

In any case, since he had already seen it, he wouldn't doubt it anymore, right?

However, Ye Yanxi was still a bit perturbed, because Xiao Yu stood motionlessly beside the bed like a statue. His beautiful black eyes stared at her face just like that.

Her sharp eyes were like thousands of ice spikes. If it were a normal person, they would have already surrendered. However, Ye Yanxi didn't even budge from looking into his eyes. Her palms were covered in layers of sweat, and her nails had already sunk into the flesh. With such an exhausting confrontation in her heart, if she didn't stubbornly hang on, Ye Yan Xi would have given up long ago. Xiao Yu's gaze was simply too terrifying.

The temperature in the ward also seemed to drop by a few degrees. No one said anything, as if the atmosphere before the storm was oppressive and suffocating. Ye Yan Xi couldn't help but shiver.

He wouldn't want her to hand it over, right? But, this … No, she could not succumb again and again. Absolutely not.

Ye Yan Xi's heart was in a battle with heaven. She bit her lower lip and felt that the book under her butt was a bit hard, making her feel uncomfortable.

In the end, Ye Yan Xi really felt that she would not be able to persevere any longer, so she raised her head to look at him, "Why are you always looking at me like this? It's too late. Won't you go back? "

Xiao Yu continued to stare at her face with a dark expression in his eyes, like a wild beast. Ye Yan Xi unconsciously revealed a bit of fear.

"What are you doing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yu suddenly bent down, his handsome and dangerous face just a few centimeters away from Ye Yan Xi. The two of them pressed their noses together, their obsidian eyes as deep as the abyss, unable to be seen.

When he suddenly approached, Ye Yanxi didn't put up any defenses, and her breathing became erratic in the blink of an eye. Her heart also started beating faster.

Because of her nervousness, she could clearly feel Xiao Yu's hand slowly sliding down her waist.

Suddenly, Ye Yan Xi panicked a little. Her whole body was tense and she didn't dare to move an inch as she stretched out her hand to tug on his clothes with great difficulty. Her face was hot as she said, "What are you doing? "This is a hospital, don't act recklessly, I am a patient …"

With such an ambiguous atmosphere, Ye Yan Xi thought that Xiao Yu wanted to do that to her.

But before he could finish, he felt the book under his butt being quickly pulled out.

Ye Yan Xi's eyes widened as he stared at Xiao Yu. How could this man be so cunning?

In almost an instant, the ice-cold atmosphere slowly dissipated, and the oppressive aura that belonged to Xiao Yu also disappeared.

At this time, Xiao Yu had already stood up. He held a book in his slender fingers as he looked down at Xiao Yu. Wasn't this the book that she had just hidden away? He didn't want him to take it away from her.

It's over. Seeing that she couldn't keep the book anymore, Ye Yan Xi was a little worried, "Give it back to me!"

Then, she reached out to grab it, but Xiao Yu was still standing there, holding the book high in the air. She simply couldn't reach it. In her rage, Ye Yan stood up, ready to fight to the death. But when she heard the sound of paper being torn apart, she looked at the book in Xiao Yu's hands and saw that it had been split in half.

Seeing the book being torn to shreds, Ye Yan Xi couldn't react in time and forgot to snatch it. He could only blankly watch as Xiao Yu slowly tore the book to shreds and finally threw the countless fragments into the trash can. His movements were relaxed and casual as he looked at the previously intact book lying in the trash can.

As she looked at Xiao Yu's indifferent expression, Ye Yanxi's anger rose again. Her eyes also began to blaze as she said, "You actually tore apart my book!" As she spoke, she clenched her fists, as if whoever provoked her would be able to get up and beat the man to a pulp.

"The doctor said that you need to rest up and don't let me find you reading again. Otherwise, I'll tear off one book at a time. I want to see whether it's your books or me that's ripping them apart faster!" Xiao Yu's expression was ice-cold, and his tone was firm.

He was simply a tyrant. He was cold-blooded and cruel. He was violent and unreasonable!

Ye Yan clenched her teeth. She didn't say anything and just stared at the pile of paper.

"Did you hear what I said?" Xiao Yu narrowed his long and narrow eyes as he threatened with a few words.

However, she didn't hear his answer. She just turned her head away, intending to ignore him.

The room suddenly became silent again. It was unknown when, but Ye Yan Xi was so angry that she fell asleep again.

When he woke up the next day, he found that Xiao Yu was already gone.

When he took his temperature in the morning, the fever was finally gone, and the pneumonia was also gone.

When Ye Yan went to the ward next door, she apologized to the Italian and wanted to compensate him with a copy. However, the Italian said he didn't need any compensation and he was soon discharged. Then, he would go back home.

Although her opponent's attitude was still very gentle, Ye Yanxi still felt very guilty because of this matter. She naturally blamed Xiao Yu for everything.

By the time he left the courtyard, it was already 9am. He was on a bus to the office.

Just as they arrived at the office of the Ministry of Commerce, Sister Yang saw her and came over to welcome them. "Didn't you say that pneumonia is hospitalized? "Why did you come to the company so quickly? I can see that you look a bit better, so hurry up and go back to rest. Don't force yourself to stay put."

Ye Yanxi looked at the caring expression on Sister Yang's face, and felt her heart warm up, she smiled and said, "Thank you sister Yang for your concern, I'm fine now, I've already checked this morning and everything is fine, there are no problems at work, please rest assured elder sister Yang."

She was only working for the Xiao Group for three months, but because of the large and small matters in the past three months, she delayed a lot of work. The most important thing was that she had already applied for a lot of leave.

Furthermore, losing a day meant losing a bit of her salary. She still had so much debt to repay.

Seeing that Ye Yan Xi insisted on coming back to work, elder sister Yang didn't try to persuade her again. She only said, "Alright then. Since that's the case, you can go back to work first. But if you're not feeling well, then rest immediately. Don't try to be brave."

"Alright." With that said, Ye Yan Xi returned to her job.

As soon as he sat down, She Qiuyang placed a stack of documents on her table before she had even turned on her computer. "This is the material you wanted to do today."

After saying that, she returned to her seat. From start to finish, she looked as if someone owed her tens of millions.

Ye Yan Xi didn't say anything more. She turned on her computer, browsed through the information, and then began to work.

When she had just recovered from her severe illness, she still felt a little weak. When it was noon, Ye Yan could feel that the office was a little stuffy, so she took advantage of the break in the afternoon to go downstairs to eat lunch nearby and take a breath of fresh air.

However, not long after she left the Xiao Group, she felt that someone was following behind her. She was always more vigilant, so she quickly noticed it.

After staying where she was for a while, she quickened her pace, feeling that the people behind her were still following her.

There was a corner just in front of her, and she entered in a flash.

Hiding around the corner, he decided to see who was following him.

But after waiting for a long time, it was obvious that the other side was more vigilant. The other side didn't follow and instead hid around the corner and slowly approached.

However, most of the buildings on all four sides were made of glass, reflecting light. It was easy to see the figure of that person.

When that person was very close to her, Ye Yan Xi's actions were crisp and clear. She grabbed that person's wrist, and with a little strength, she kicked towards that person's abdomen.

That person almost immediately bent his waist in pain. At the same time, he nimbly pulled his wrist out of Ye Yan Xi's hand, turned around, and ran.

Ye Yan Xi didn't give that person a chance to escape and immediately chased after him.

The other person ran very fast and obviously had a way out. Ye Yan Xi saw that person jump onto the opposite road in a flash. A motorcycle drove over at lightning speed. That person's footsteps kept on stepping onto it. When Ye Yan Xi arrived, she was still a step too late. The motorcycle deliberately turned a corner on the road and then disappeared without a trace.

Ye Yan Xi watched the two leave in a cloud of dust, and stomped her feet in anger.

She should have captured that person earlier. She shouldn't have given him the chance to escape.

If she remembered correctly, that person on the motorcycle was the one who stabbed and injured Auntie Chen at the hospital gate. Although that person was wearing a helmet, the moment that person turned around, she couldn't have been mistaken.

He actually allowed the murderer to escape just like that.

Just as she was sulking on her own, a luxury car stopped by the roadside and rolled down its windows, "Lil 'Ye, is that you?"

Ye Yan Xi heard someone say this in front of her, and subconsciously raised her head.

The person in the car was He Man's mother, Mrs. He.

Ye Yan Xi quickly tidied up her clothes, and politely called out, "Good morning Madam He!"

"Lil 'Ye, isn't it weird for you to call me that? Didn't I say before that you can call me auntie?" Madam He wasn't satisfied with the way Ye Yan Xi was addressed.

Ye Yan Xi was startled by Madam He's question. She quickly changed her tone and greeted her, "Greetings, Aunt He."

"Alright, alright." Madam He looked at her with a smile. "Come, get on the carriage."

"Uh, Aunt He, I have to go to work. I have to go to the company later."

"Then let's have lunch together. Sit nearby. Auntie will treat you." Madam He's tone of voice was gentle and gave people a very comfortable feeling.

Ye Yan Xi was a bit embarrassed, but she still refused, "Aunt He, this is really inconvenient. If you are thanking me for what happened that day, then you don't have to be so polite."

For some reason, the more Madam He looked at Ye Yanxi's face, the happier she became. It was as if they had known each other for a very long time.

Hearing Ye Yan Xi's words, Madam He's face became serious, and pretended to be strict as she said, "Do you think that Auntie is that difficult? "Do you think I can't afford to treat you to dinner?"

"Of course not." Ye Yanxi couldn't help but laugh. She felt that if she continued to decline her offer, she might even misunderstand something.

Thus, he was pulled into the car by Madam He. "Go and eat first. We'll definitely send you back before you start work."

Not long after the car had left, Ye Yan Xi felt the car stop. She recognized that it was a nearby hotel.

Madam He exuded the aura of a noblewoman. As soon as the two walked in, the waiter quickly came to greet them, not daring to slight them in the slightest.

After they sat down, the waiter respectfully stood behind Madam He. Madam He looked through the menu a few times before handing it over to Ye Yan Xi, "Lil 'Ye, take a look at what you want to eat. Don't be polite with me. Auntie will treat you."

Seeing that there was no way to refuse, Ye Yan Xi picked up the menu and read it.

Ye Yan Xi was speechless when she saw the price. It was way too expensive, it was way too outrageously expensive.

When she first came in, she felt that this hotel was luxuriously decorated, and she knew that the price was not low. However, looking at the three-digit dishes, she hesitated. She still ordered two similar dishes and then passed them to Madam He.

Upon seeing the cuisine that Ye Yan had ordered, Madam He frowned.

"Why are you eating this at dinner? Without any nutrition, you still want to lose weight after being so thin! " Madam He shook her head and immediately ordered another new dish.

This time, everything was gone.

Hearing Madam He quickly announce the dishes, Ye Yanxi quickly stopped her, "Auntie, it's just the two of us. This is enough, we can't finish it all."

"It's fine, I can taste all of them." Madam He ignored her and continued flipping through the menu.

Looking at Madam He's posture, Ye Yanxi thought back to the last time she was in the apartment. Xiao Yu had someone bring over a dozen dishes, and even the table couldn't fit them all.

After ordering, Madam He said to the waiter, "Hurry up and serve the dishes."

The waiter quickly replied and left.

The speed of serving dishes in the hotel was indeed very fast. Ye Yan Xi felt that the dishes would arrive soon. As the tables were filled one after another, Madam He put the dishes into Ye Yan Xi's bowl with a smile.

"Lil 'Ye, try this. Also, this fish, it's better for girls to eat fish. Also, try this one as well."

Soon, Ye Yan Xi's bowl was filled with dishes that Lady He had picked up.

Ye Yan Xi looked at the dishes in the bowl with a bit of distress. Seeing that Madam He was still happily picking up the dishes, and finally said that she couldn't eat anymore, Madam He gave up on picking up the dishes in her bowl and started to eat by herself.

During the meal, Madam He casually asked Ye Yan Xi about her work. Ye Yan Xi told her that she was currently working part-time at the Xiao Group and would not be here after the summer break.

Madam He kept praising Ye Yan Xi for being smart. Being able to enter the Xiao Group meant that her ability was also very outstanding. Hence, the more she looked, the more she liked her.

"Oh yeah, Lil 'Ye, how old are you this year?" Madam He suddenly asked.

"Less than a month until my twenty-first birthday." Ye Yanxi replied.

"He's the same age as my Manman, and my Manman's birthday is also next month, so what number are you?" Madam He looked at her in surprise.

"I guess it's the 20th day of the lunar calendar."

"What a coincidence, my family's Manman is also born on the 20th. Speaking of which, are you two born on the same day?"

Ye Yan Xi was also a bit surprised, and coincidentally said, "What a coincidence!"

"That's right, I already said I was fated to be with you." Madam He said with a smile. At this moment, her phone suddenly rang.

Madam He picked up the phone and looked at the screen. She said to Ye Yanxue, "We were just talking about this. My family's Manman is calling. I need to answer a call."

Ye Yanxi smiled and nodded.

"Manman."

"Oh, I'm eating outside. I won't be going back for lunch. Eat by yourself first. Don't wait for me."

"Alright, alright, I'll definitely accompany you for dinner tomorrow." Madam He glanced at Ye Yan Xi and said into the phone, "That's right, Manman, you definitely won't be able to guess who I'm eating with right now."

Ye Yanxi heard a question on the other end of the phone.

Afterwards, Madam He replied with a smile, "Lil 'Ye, you still remember her, right? The girl that saved me at the entrance of the hotel."

She Man did not know what to say on the other side of the phone. Madam He's expression immediately turned bad, "Manman, how can you say that? I bumped into her, so I invited her to dinner."

After a while, Madam He's expression turned better, "I just asked Lil 'Ye's birthday, you definitely wouldn't have guessed that it was the same day as yours. You said it's a coincidence?"

He Man's voice suddenly rose a little, and Ye Yan Xi could clearly hear her say, "Mom, do you care about your daughter or that whatever Lil 'Ye?"

Madam He frowned. "Why are you so angry again?"

"Alright, I've already promised you. Don't be angry for now. I'll be back after the meal." Madam He hurriedly coaxed her daughter.

After that, he did not know what She Man said, but Madam He agreed.

After hanging up, Madam He helplessly looked at the phone, then raised her head and looked at Ye Yanxi.

The words they spoke earlier, and She Man's voice was so loud, it must have been heard by Ye Yanxi. Madam He's expression couldn't help but be a bit embarrassed.

"Lil 'Ye, I'm so sorry, I let you watch such a joke." "We lost her not long after Manman was born, and it took us a long time to find her, so Daddy and I tried our best to make up for it all these years, and we spoiled her for everything, and because we agreed to everything, we spoilt her. What she said wasn't intentional, so don't take it to heart, and don't mind it."

"You just said, lost?"
