A few days ago, Ye Yanxi had already noticed that Ye Weiqi had a crush on Xiao Yu. However, Xiao Yu had ignored her at that time. So now she took the opportunity to curry favor with him.
As soon as Ye Yanxi pushed the door open and entered, she saw Ye Weiqi holding a bright red apple in her hand, reaching it towards Xiao Yu's mouth as if she was going to feed him.
But at the moment, Xiao Yu was looking down at his computer, fully concentrated, and didn't notice Ye Weiqi's actions.
When he saw the apple in front of him and the ten fingers painted with blood - red nail polish, Xiao Yu frowned slightly with his good - looking eyebrows. Disgust was undisguised on his cold face. "If you want to please me, cut your nails first. They look disgusting. Besides... I'm not interested in you."
Ye Yanxi, who hadn't even fully entered yet, immediately saw Ye Weiqi's face turn pale. She stood there at a loss.
Then, Ye Weiqi threw the apple away and ran out of the ward. She happened to bump into Ye Yanxi at the door. She glared at Ye Yanxi fiercely and then ran into the stairwell and disappeared.
It had to be said that Xiao Yu's calm expression combined with his words could really infuriate people. He was simply too venomous. He was a natural at hurting others.
Seeing Ye Weiqi leave, Lu Manwen wanted to go out and chase her. But when she saw Ye Yanxi standing at the door, she suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
Ye Yanxi noticed her expression.
Maybe Lu Manwen wanted her own biological daughter... but Ye Yanxi had caught her, which was why she was so embarrassed.
Ye Yanxi saw it but showed no expression. She only worried about Ye Junze who was still lying in the bed.
"Dad, you're awake." Ye Yanxi ran over happily and held Ye Junze's hand. "How are you? Are you feeling okay? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?"
Ye Junze had been ill for several days, and his face still looked very pale. But when he looked at Ye Yanxi, a kind smile appeared on his face. "Xiaoxi is here. Dad is feeling fine now. Even if I was uncomfortable before, seeing my precious daughter makes me feel better."
Hearing this, Lu Manwen snorted discontentedly.
Ye Yanxi then told Ye Junze what had happened on the bus today, which made Ye Junze quite worried.
"And then? Were you hurt?"
"Your daughter is a fourth - degree black belt in taekwondo. Who can hurt me? The thief has been sent to the police station." Ye Yanxi raised her face, looking full of confidence.
"I knew Xiaoxi was the best. But you still have to pay attention to safety in the future." There was a smile in Ye Junze's eyes.
"Okay, I know."
The two chatted for a while. Suddenly, Xiao Yu stood up.
Ye Junze, who had been lying in the bed, suddenly looked solemn and said to Xiao Yu, "Mr. Xiao, thank you so much for your help this time."
Xiao Yu was always cold. Hearing this, he only said, "If you want to thank someone, thank Xiaoxi."
Such an intimate address made Ye Junze sense something, but he didn't feel it appropriate to ask.
"Xiaoxi, it's time for us to go." Xiao Yu's gaze fell on Ye Yanxi.
Ye Yanxi still wanted to stay in the ward for a while and talk to Ye Junze some more. But seeing that he had just woken up and wasn't in good spirits, she didn't want to bother him too much. "Dad, you must listen to the doctor and have a good rest. I'll come to see you tomorrow."
"Okay."
Xiao Yu and Ye Yanxi left together. Ye Junze looked at their backs with some worry.
In the elevator, neither of them said a word. There were always quite a lot of people in the hospital elevator, and it stopped at every floor. As more and more people got on, Ye Yanxi and Xiao Yu were directly forced into a corner.
After the next floor, a few more people got on. The elevator was almost full. Ye Yanxi was almost squeezed. Suddenly, a strong arm held her arm. Xiao Yu took a step forward slightly and stood in front of her, enclosing her in a safe corner.
Although it wasn't crowded around her anymore, Ye Yanxi felt that this action was too close. It was as if she was being held in his arms. She could hear his strong heartbeat in her ear and was surrounded by his faint, cold yet warm masculine aura.
For some reason, the scene of that day appeared in her mind again. That night, he had held her like this, and she had become his woman.
The more she thought about it, the hotter she felt in the elevator.
Finally, they reached the first floor. People rushed out. Ye Yanxi almost fled in disarray.
