Zhan Yan dragged her exhausted body out of bed. There was only one piece of cold medicine left on the bedside table, she quickly swallowed it and then went downstairs.

In the living room on the first floor, Wei Jingnian was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. "His face doesn't look too good."

"I didn't sleep well because I had a cold. I'm fine." Zhan Yan replied casually.

Wei Jingnian put down the newspaper in his hands, and said worriedly, "The viral cold seems to be quite severe recently, pay more attention to your body. If you're not feeling well, take a few days off."

After Wei Jingnian went back to normal, he went through with the process of early retirement. With the treatment of a deputy division, his pension was pretty good, so father and daughter did not have to worry about his livelihood.

"It's just a cold, don't make a fuss. "Dad, didn't you say before that when you do your work, you have to be serious and serious. It's not advisable to catch fish in the sun for three days." Zhan Yan replied with a smile.

In truth, she only wanted herself to get busy and forget about Ji Weiyang. Sometimes, thinking about someone was a very painful thing.

Wei Jingnian was startled, this girl used his words to refute him, but left him speechless.

Zhan Yan didn't have much appetite for disease, she didn't even eat breakfast, she just changed her clothes and prepared to go to work. She was changing her shoes in the Profound Entrance when Wei Jingnian's voice sounded from the living room, "Have you and Weiyang not been in contact recently? Why didn't you mention it?

Zhan Yan's body trembled, and she subconsciously stopped what she was doing. She turned her head and looked at her father silently, but she had nothing to say.

Although the work of the Bureau of Health wasn't heavy, Zhan Yan had always been suffering from a fever. Her work progress was slow, and she worked overtime almost every day until very late.

When Du Xiaomo called, she was still working overtime to organize the information.

"I'll be eating outside your office."

"Maybe another day. I still have some work to do …"

"If you haven't finished yet, then do it tomorrow. How many times have you tried to please me? Hurry up, if you don't come out, I'll go in and capture him." Du Xiaomo hung up the phone with a "pa" sound. He did not give her the chance to refuse.

Zhan Yan laughed helplessly, she packed the information back into her bag and planned to continue organizing the documents after she returned home.

Du Xiaomo seemed to have changed a lot when they met each other this time. She was driving a new BMW and was covered in line brands from top to bottom.

"This outfit was given to you by your new boyfriend?"

"Yo, you know what's good for you." Du Xiaomo giggled.

The corner of Zhan Yan's lips moved. Before their divorce, her cloakroom was filled with these brands, and most of them were brought back from overseas by Ji Weiyang. Only, she rarely moved.

"You seem to have changed a lot lately." Zhan Yan said again, the smile on her face became more obvious, and she became more flamboyant.

"Women in love are naturally different. Zhan Yan, I am truly very happy with him." Then, she took out a embroidered box from her bag and handed it over to Zhan Yan, "A while ago, I went to Hong Kong to shop and bought a present for you."

Zhan Yan opened the box and inside was the exquisite crystal brooch. It could be seen that it was a natural crystal, the color was very good. The market for this kind of thing was very good. It could be said to be priceless, and this gift was indeed heavy.

"Thank you." Zhan Yan did not refuse, because the one giving the gift was Du Xiaomo, her closest friend. If she refused, that would be too kind.

"Don't be polite with me." Du Xiaomo replied unconcernedly, and then said, "Oh right, do you know that Lu Anqi was in a car accident?"

Zhan Yan was startled, she never thought that Du Xiaomo would actually know about this matter.

"She's in our hospital's high dry room with a ruptured cornea. If she doesn't get a corneal transplant in a few months, he's going to be blind for the rest of his life. Recently, Ji Weiyang has been waiting at the hospital everyday. As soon as he left, Lu Anqi went crazy.

Zhan Yan lowered her eyes and did not say a word, holding the coffee cup in her hand tightly, her green fingertips suffused an abnormal green color. She felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on her chest, causing her to be unable to breathe. She faintly understood in her heart that if Lu Anqi was unable to recover, then Ji Weiyang would be responsible for her for his entire life. But she and Lu Anqi, they couldn't coexist. If it really came to a choice, the one to withdraw would have to be her.

Zhan Yan began to cough again, her small face flushed red. Her breathing became hurried and messy, accompanied by waves of dull pain in her heart.

"What's wrong? "Are you not feeling well?" Du Xiaomo worriedly asked, and subconsciously reached out her hand to touch her forehead, only to realize that it was boiling hot.

"You have a fever?" Du Xiaomo was shocked.

"Oh, I've had a cold lately." Zhan Yan replied casually, and pulled her hand down from his forehead.

"How can you be like this? I'll accompany you to the hospital for a checkup. Last time, the doctor told you to pay more attention to your body. How could you still be careless? Be careful not to keep getting a high fever and burn your brain." Du Xiaomo got up, draped her clothes over his shoulders, and pulled her along as she walked out.

Zhan Yan laughed helplessly: "I really am fine, send me home, I will be fine after a short rest."

When Zhan Yan became stubborn again, the nine Qilins were unable to pull him back. Du Xiaomo was unable to force her, and in the end, she drove her back to Wei Family.

However, Zhan Yan did not obediently rest. She dragged the patient and organized the documents, and only laid down on the bed in the early hours of the morning. Because of a fever, her entire body was in pain, when the pain was unbearable, she would suppress herself to the point of crying softly, constantly shouting Ji Weiyang's name.

However, she knew that he wouldn't come, because he had to protect Lu Anqi.

At the same time, in another place, in the hospital.

Because of the matters regarding the negotiations, Ji Weiyang was always busy. After the two sides reached an agreement, they signed the contract and held a celebration feast, and only when it was night time did he find the time to go to the hospital. However, he was absent for an entire day, causing Lu Anqi to go crazy for an entire day. If she didn't eat or drink, and didn't take any injections or medication, Lu Manyun would use all her effort to lecture her, and even begging her in tears would be useless later on.

When Ji Weiyang stood next to the sickbed, Lu Anqi became quiet.

"Angie, are you torturing yourself like this, or me? Angie, tell me, what do you want me to do? " Ji Weiyang's tall and big body stood in front of the bed, staring coldly at her.

Although Lu Anqi couldn't see, she could still feel the cold energy radiating from his body. She knew that he was angry. Viyan, I, I didn't mean to worry you. "

"You didn't mean to make me worry?" Ji Weiyang coldly curled his lips, "Lu Anqi, what did you do to make me relax? Didn't you keep making a ruckus all day just to keep me by your side? "Fine, from now on, I will not do anything. I will not care about any company or business. I will just guard over you like this. Are you satisfied?"

Ji Weiyang forcefully pulled over a chair, and threw it onto the side of the bed with all his might. Then, he sat on a chair and looked at her coldly. A human's patience still had a limit, and her unreasonable actions had already exceeded Ji Weiyang's bottom line of tolerance.

Bang! With a loud sound, Lu Anqi trembled in fear. She stretched out her hands, groped and held Ji Weiyang's arms and cried, "Weiyang, I know I was wrong. Don't be angry at me. I'm just scared. I just don't want you to leave me. "

She cried and hugged him, burying her head in his chest. Back when we were in love, we were so happy, so happy. "

Ji Weiyang narrowed his cold eyes, and pushed her out of his embrace without leaving a trace. "Angel, I thought I had explained everything to you clearly. I already have another woman in my heart, and we can't go back. I can take care of you, but I can't love you. "

Lu Anqi bit her lips, and tightly clenched her hand under her loose sleeves. After a moment of silence, it exploded again.

"If you don't love me, why stay with me? You go, you go, I don't need your pity or your pity. Don't worry, I, a blind person, won't continue to implicate you. "

Ji Weiyang remained silent, and then, he actually turned around and left. The instant the door closed, Lu Anqi's wailing sounds came from inside the room.

Just as he walked out of the sickroom, Lu Manyun and Ji Bocheng came over to welcome him. Lu Manyun's face was haggard, but she continued to beg, "Weiyang, Angel is a patient and she's blind now, so she's in a bad mood. You better not take her to heart. Auntie knows your difficulties. You have a family. "But I beg of you, please don't leave her at this time. She won't be able to live without you."

Lu Manyun lowered her head and did not say anything else. "Moreover, it is understandable that a blind person would lose control of his emotions." Aunt, don't worry, I won't leave Angel alone. "

He stood on the porch, lit a cigarette, smoked a few breaths, and then the phone rang.

"About the company?" General Ji asked.

"Yes." Ji Weiyang nodded.

"Just do your job. Angel isn't something you can handle just by standing guard." He knew Ji Weiyang's personality the best. When faced with a tough opponent, he would always eat soft food and not bite off more than he could chew. If he really was forced into a corner, it would be of no benefit to anyone.

"Dad, I have a lot of work to do in these two days at the company. Tomorrow night, I have an important meeting to attend, so I'll have to trouble you and Aunt Lu for these two days." He said this without much emotion, turned around, and left.

A few water conservancy projects would be started soon after. Ji Weiyang's company had taken down part of the projects, and this time's dinner would be for the major companies participating in the project to contact the water conservancy authorities, the civil affairs department, and other government departments.

Therefore, he had no choice but to attend the banquet personally. It was just that, he did not expect to meet Zhan Yan at the banquet, or to be more precise, it was Zhan Yan and Gao Yuxuan.

As the person in charge of the Water Bureau's South-to-North Water Transfer Project, Gao Yuxuan had to attend to his business, and he was his female companion.

Even after they had broken up, Gao Yuxuan had always taken care of Zhan Yan and he had always been by her side during her most painful times. Gao Yuxuan very rarely made requests to Zhan Yan, so Zhan Yan was practically unable to reject his invitation. When she arrived at the banquet site, Gao Yuxuan realized that something was amiss.

"Why didn't you say earlier that you were feeling unwell? The fever is so strong, I'll send you back first." Gao Yuxuan said worriedly as he handed her a cup of warm water.

"Zhan Yan shook her head, she was still coughing, and only after drinking half a cup of water did she calm down. No need, I'm fine. "

"But …" Gao Yuxuan wanted to say something, but was cut off by another voice.

"Chief Gao, Wang City is currently discussing the concrete plan for the project. You are the only one left, come with me." His colleagues put their arms around his shoulders and were about to take him away.

Gao Yuxuan looked at Zhan Yan helplessly, only to see her smiling gently, "I'm really okay, go ahead."

After Gao Yuxuan left, Zhan Yan sat alone in a corner with one hand on her painful forehead. People came and went around her, the men kept a low profile, the women were beautiful, and none of this seemed to have anything to do with her. She was like a spectator who could only watch coldly from the sidelines, unable to assimilate in.

"Miss, do you need wine?" The waiter came to her and handed her a tall red glass.

"No, thank you." Zhan Yan coughed lightly as she reached out her hand to refuse it. The waiter's finger slipped and a few drops of red water dripped onto the hem of her skirt.

"Miss, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The waiter was panicking. Holding a white wet towel in his hand, he bent down to help Zhan Yan wipe her skirt.

"No problem, I'll handle it myself." Zhan Yan politely rejected her and picked up her skirt before walking to the bathroom.

Zhan Yan washed off the alcohol stains on her skirt in the washroom. Luckily, she was wearing a rose-pink dress, and after drying, she didn't show any traces of it. However, after tormenting herself this time, she felt even more uncomfortable. Her face was unusually flushed, and her breathing was hurried. Her heart palpitated fiercely.

She called Gao Yuxuan and told him that she was feeling unwell and that she had left early. Gao Yuxuan wanted to give it to her, but she tactfully rejected.

Zhan Yan pushed the door and walked out of the washroom. It was the complete opposite of the bustling and luxurious ballroom, the long hall was empty and quiet. Zhan Yan took a step forward, and a shadow suddenly appeared behind him, following that, a pair of sturdy arms wrapped around her waist.

Ah!" He hugged her from behind and pressed his warm chest against her back. The familiar scent of tobacco, mixed with the faint smell of alcohol, surrounded her.

"Why did you come here?" The deep and gentle voice was as pleasant to hear as a cello. The warm breath that came from it tickled and numbed her neck.

Zhan Yan raised her chin, and said while pouting, "Third Young Master Ji can come, but why can't I?"

Ji Weiyang did not say a word, but the arm wrapped around her waist suddenly tightened.

After a short moment of silence, Zhan Yan warmly explained, "I came with Brother Yuxuan, but he doesn't have a female companion."

"You dare to mention Gao Yuxuan, aren't you afraid that I'll get jealous?" Ji Weiyang lightly bit on her sensitive earlobe, his tone slightly sour.

Zhan Yan laughed softly, her ears turned numb, and she subconsciously twisted her body.

Ji Weiyang's body instinctively started to react as he turned over Zhan Yan's body, pressing her against the wall and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Don't move, or else I'll deal with you right now."

Zhan Yan's face flushed red, her long eyelashes trembling, a clear and innocent glint in her bright eyes. Her pair of soft arms pressed against his chest as she powerlessly rejected him. It was accompanied by a low cough.

"What's wrong? Have you recovered from the cold? " Ji Weiyang's eyes darkened, and his palm subconsciously covered her forehead; however, the temperature of his tentacles were boiling hot. Yan Yan, you are having a fever. "

"Yes." Zhan Yan answered vaguely, "I'm not feeling well, I was planning to leave first."

"I'll send you off." He half hugged her and walked towards the exit.

"No need, I'll just take a taxi back myself. You go and busy yourself." Zhan Yan naturally did not think that Ji Weiyang had appeared here just to catch the enemy.

"He forcefully gripped her soft, small hand, using a lot of strength. It was as if he wanted to melt her into his palm." "No amount of business is more important than you." His voice was cool and his footsteps steady.

Zhan Yan's heart grew warm for some unknown reason. She followed his footsteps and wished that she could continue walking like this forever.

Ji Weiyang's dark green Land Rover was speeding along the wide road. Only, this was not the way back to the Wei Family.

"Where are you taking me?" Zhan Yan asked, puzzled.

"Let's go back to the apartment on Jinwai Road tonight and rest first. I don't want to work anymore for the next few days. We'll talk again after my illness recovers." Ji Weiyang replied evenly, his gaze focused on the situation on the road ahead.

"No, I won't return all night, how can I explain this to my father? He, he still doesn't know about us. " Zhan Yan retorted, and before she finished speaking, Ji Weiyang had already passed the phone over.

"Give your dad a call and think of a reason. You don't need me to teach you how to lie, right?"
