When the female secretary saw that Ye Anne did not manage to call her CEO's number, her face suddenly turned bad, and thinking back to the conversation between the two, she finally realised that she had said something that she shouldn't have said.

After all, she had come to the hospital on her own, and had not gotten Qin Xu's permission.

Seeing that the situation wasn't good, the secretary tactfully said: "Director Qin might be busy with other things right now, I should go back to the company first and contact him later."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Ye Anne: "Leave the documents here. When Qin Xu comes back, I will tell him that it will be the first time he can be dealt with and sent to the company."

The documents in the secretary's hands needed to be processed as soon as possible. She thought about it for a moment, then decided to leave the documents behind.

In the end, even if Qin Xu didn't go to the company, he would definitely come to the hospital to see Ye Anne. Leaving the documents in the hospital was indeed more convenient than bringing her everywhere to look for someone.

The female secretary thanked him, placed the documents on the bedside table, then turned and left.

However, just as she reached the door, she suddenly stopped, slapped her head, turned around and said to Ye Anne: "Look at me, I actually almost forgot about the most important matter. The police station called Director Qin today, but Director Qin's phone was turned off, so they called the company, saying that the police had already investigated the crime of Longen Technology's owner, Zhao Jun, and arranged the arrest operation last night. However, they accidentally leaked the news, and did not manage to apprehend anyone. Because Zhao Jun and the Director Qin had a feud, the police specially called to remind him to pay more attention to his safety in the next few days. If Director Qin comes back later, I hope you can tell him about this too. "

When Ye Anne heard about Zhao Jun's matter, she was slightly surprised. She subconsciously asked: "The police went to arrest Zhao Jun?"

"That's right, they said that the company's accounts are unclear and are suspected of evading taxes." The female secretary did not know much, so she only gave a general idea. However, no matter how detailed she was, she could not say it.

"Alright, I understand." Ye Anne nodded and replied, "I will definitely help you achieve your breakthrough."

Only after receiving Ye Anne's guarantee did the secretary leave the hospital.

After Qin Xu's secretary left, Ye Anne and Ye Zixing continued to wait for Qin Xu to come back.

During this period of time, she gave Qin Xu a few painful calls, but Qin Xu's phone kept on telling him that his phone was turned off. The unease in Ye Anne's heart slowly grew.

She wasn't worried that Zhao Jun's escape would harm him. Putting aside the fact that Qin Xu's own skills were not bad, every time he moved, he would always have a bodyguard by his side, so Zhao Jun shouldn't be able to harm him. What truly made her uneasy was that Qin Xu had left early and returned late these past few days. What was he hiding from her?

Being able to force Qin Xu to lie and hide things, Ye Anne's intuition was definitely not a good thing …

But after the sky had completely darkened and Zi Xing had finished his dinner and went to sleep, Ye Anne finally decided to wait for Qin Xu.

Thinking that Ye Anne had already fallen asleep, the sound of Qin Xu pushing open the door to Ye Anne's ward was very quiet.

There was an obvious look of exhaustion on his face, but when he saw Ye Anne leaning on the bedside table, he quickly concealed it, and then smiled gently at her.

Ye Anne observed him silently as she asked him, "Where did you go today? Why did you come back so late?"

Qin Xu loosened his tie, just as he was about to reply that he had worked overtime because the company had a lot of things to do, but when he saw the documents on the bedside table, he suddenly stopped.

The few watermarks with Qin’s on them were obviously taken from the company. In other words, it was very possible that someone from the company had come to the hospital.

Qin Xu frowned unnoticeably for a moment, then feigned carelessness and replied: "I didn't go to the company today, but went to attend a private gathering. The things that happened at the wedding before caused quite a commotion, and Qin’s's reputation had more or less been affected.

Qin Xu's conversation with him was too natural, Ye Anne almost believed him — but he had only said that he had not gone to the company for a few days, yet he had not explained his movements from a few days ago.

Ye Anne suppressed the suspicions in her heart and asked: "Is the matter serious?"

"It's not that serious. It's almost all settled." Qin Xu bent over and kissed her forehead, purposely changing the topic, "Don't worry about all this, how have you been these past few days?"

Ye Anne replied, "It's a little better than yesterday. There haven't been any accidents for the entire day."

"Accident" naturally referred to sudden syncope or bleeding.

The two of them chatted for a while, before Ye Anne answered absent-mindedly.

There were several times when she wanted to directly ask Qin Xu what he had been doing these past few days, but she was afraid that not only would Qin Xu not tell her about it, he would be even more wary of her in the future instead …

Rather than asking Qin Xu, she would rather look for the answer himself.

Ye Anne made up her mind. Only then did she come back to reality, and pointed to the documents on the bedside table: "Oh yes, your secretary came over this afternoon, and left a few documents behind, saying that it is urgent, and that you can take care of it as soon as possible. Also, when the police captured Zhao Jun yesterday, they were escaped by him. He had always hated you and would probably do you harm.

Qin Xu replied unconcernedly: "Got it, I will take care of both of them. You just need to rest in peace, it's enough to leave these trivial matters to me."

As Qin Xu said this, he realized that there was a little girl laying on the side of the bed, sleeping soundly.

"Zixing is here?" Qin Xu said in surprise, his voice unconsciously lowering.

At the mention of a star, the expression on Ye Anne's face couldn't help but soften a little. She first lowered her head to help the star wipe off the hair plastered to her forehead, then looked up at Qin Xu and said: "I told him today that you're his father …"

"Huh?" Qin Xu immediately became nervous, "Then … What was his reaction? "

He didn't think that Ye Anne would choose this time to tell him that he was completely unprepared for their relationship, and couldn't help feeling a little agitated and apprehensive.

It was rare for Ye Anne to see him so nervous, so she couldn't help but to smile. Just as she was about to answer Qin Xu, she did not expect that Ye Zixing who was fast asleep at the side would suddenly mutter in his sleep, interrupting her.

— — Ye Zixing called out for his father in his sleep. His tone was cheerful and joyful.

This "Father" was already the best answer.

Qin Xu's heart suddenly softened. Even though he knew that he was sleep talking, he still answered almost subconsciously.

"Daddy is here." He passed by Ye Anne, bent down, and kissed Ye Zixing on the forehead as well, saying in a low voice, "I will protect you and Mommy well … It won't be long before everything gets better. "

His voice was too soft, and when he said the last part, it was almost a whisper.

Ye Anne had not heard what he said in the end, so she asked subconsciously: "What did you say just now?"

"I say … It's getting late, you should get some rest. " Qin Xu bent his waist and tucked his feet into the ground.

He sat on the side of Ye Anne's bed and held her hand as he said, "Sleep, I'll guard you."

Ye Anne looked at the two of them holding hands, paused for a moment, then quietly moved in Ye Zixing's direction, and said: "The bed is big enough, the three of you can sleep."

Qin Xu chuckled as he took off his jacket and went to bed.

This was the first time Ye Anne asked him to sleep with her …

Qin Xu laid on the outside of the sickbed, using his protective posture to protect the two people inside. He was not the least bit sleepy, but he was afraid of disturbing Ye Anne and Yue Yang.

Only until he heard the long and even breathing beside him and was sure that Ye Anne was asleep did he quietly get up and go to the bathroom outside the bedroom.

What Qin Xu did not know was that when he left the bedroom, the originally "sleeping" Ye Anne suddenly opened his eyes, and looked in the direction he left.

Qin Xu was not on guard against Ye Anne so he was not aware of it at all. After entering the washroom, he first used cold water to wash his face, then took out his own phone and called his brother Qin Chengqi.

Due to the time difference, even though it was deep into the night outside the window, it was currently the middle of the afternoon in the ocean where Qin Chengqi was at.

"Qin Xu? "Why are you up so late?" Qin Chengqi was very surprised that Qin Xu would call him at this time.

"Well, I'm going to sleep." Qin Xu replied perfunctorily.

After pausing for a moment, he then asked Qin Chengqi: "Have you been busy lately?"

Being asked this question, Qin Chengqi was slightly stunned.

Previously, when Qin Xu and Chu Xiaoxiao were holding their wedding ceremony, he was still unable to accept the fact that his own brother was married to an ex-girlfriend who had betrayed him. Furthermore, the laboratory was also busy these few days, so he used the excuse that the laboratory was too busy and did not go back to attend the wedding.

However, although he had yet to return home, he had always paid attention to what was happening within the country.

He said, "Recently, the laboratory has been doing quite well … However, I heard that something went wrong with your wedding to Chu Xiaoxiao? "

"I'm not going to marry her." Qin Xu laughed bitterly, he did not intend to hide it.

"Sorry, brother." He first apologized, then continued, "I lied to you before. Actually, I don't like Chu Xiaoxiao, but the person I like needs her bone marrow to save lives … You know Chu Xiaoxiao is a human, if I want her to save someone, I must use her marriage to exchange for it, that's why I lied to you … "

"The person you like is Ye Anne, right?" Qin Chengqi asked him.

"It's her." Qin Xu admitted it without hesitation.

When Qin Chengqi heard about Ye Anne stealing the marriage from her, he had a feeling that there was something fishy going on at Qin Xu's wedding …

He couldn't help but sigh, then asked Qin Xu: "Now that your wedding with Chu Xiaoxiao is ruined, she will naturally not agree to donate the bone marrow anymore. What do you plan to do next?"
