Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Does he know Zhong Yuye?

She pressed down on her wildly beating heart and suddenly stood up, saying, “I’ll go get the doctor for you!”

She ran away swiftly, almost as if she were fleeing in complete panic.

Li Shengxiao watched the little woman’s flushed ears as she escaped, leaning against the headboard, his thin lips faintly curling up…

Yanyan, you’ve long been unable to escape!

Rong Yan rushed out of the ward, and her heartbeat gradually slowed down. She slowed her pace, walking along the corridor, planning to find Cui Jiangjing and ask him to come over.

Unexpectedly, midway through, she saw a familiar figure.

“Zhong Yuye?”

What was he doing here?

Her voice wasn’t soft, so the man walking toward her could certainly hear. He was carrying fruit and a bouquet of flowers, and quickly approached Rong Yan. Seemingly struck by a thought, he stopped, frowned, and asked, “Is Li Shengxiao in a nearby ward?”

Rong Yan was taken aback, “Um, yes.”

What was this situation, it looked like Zhong Yuye knew Li Shengxiao?

How could she have had no idea?

Zhong Yuye gazed at the person in front of him, his lips pursed, his deep eyes staring at her, and out of confusion he blurted, “Rong Yan, I don’t know what your relationship with Li Shengxiao is, but I’m very clear that it’s impossible between you with your status and him! I think you’re a smart person, and as your lifesaver, I don’t want to see you suffering in the end.”

Zhong Yuye stared at her and emphasized word by word, “Don’t get trapped.”

After he said that, he passed all the things in his hands to Rong Yan, saying, “Since you’re here, I won’t go in. Give these things to him, just tell him I came by.”

He had just come to make a token appearance; he didn’t have any private relationship with that man, after all, they were never the same kind of people.

After he gave the things to Rong Yan, he walked away with a carefree turn of his head, leaving only Rong Yan with furrowed brows, pondering over the few baffling words he had said.

By the time Rong Yan returned to the ward, Li Shengxiao had already finished his basic examination. The doctor who examined him told Mr. Li to rest more and quietly left the ward.

“What are you holding in your hand?”

From the moment she entered the room, the distinguished man’s gaze had followed her, naturally noticing what Rong Yan was holding.

Rong Yan put the flowers into a vase and placed the fruit on the bedside table for him before saying, “Nothing much. Just now when I went to find Doctor Cui for you, I ran into Zhong Yuye. He was carrying the fruit and seemed to be coming to visit you. Afterwards, he met me and handed over the things, asking me to pass them on to you.”

Zhong Yuye? Li Shengxiao’s eyes suddenly narrowed, shadows spreading in their depths.

Rong Yan was not one to keep things inside, and since her curiosity had been piqued from the start, she couldn’t help but ask, even though he had remained silent, “Li Shengxiao, do you know Zhong Yuye?”

How could those two possibly be connected, yet why did Zhong Yuye’s words to her seem as if he was quite familiar with him?

That familiarity even felt similar to Cui Jiangjing, who had known the man for many years.

She wasn’t bothered by his words, she was just curious about how the two of them could possibly know each other.

Li Shengxiao’s lips were tightly pressed. He had not intended to answer, but since she had asked, he still replied, “Knew him from childhood.”

Childhood?

Rong Yan was somewhat surprised. He didn’t quite grow up with Cui Jiangjing, yet he knew Zhong Yuye since they were children?
