TL: Hua
Outside the ward, Ye Boxuan, wearing a black windbreaker, couldn’t hide the fatigue from the long journey on his face. At this time, he looked deeply at Ji Qingyu, who was trying to block his sight, and said, “Don’t block.”
The door was facing the bed, and he wasn’t blind; how could he not see the situation inside?
He raised his hand to push the door open, bypassed Ji Qingyu, and walked straight into the room.
Ye Rongxu came back to his senses, hurriedly climbed out of Qin Chaoyan’s arms, and moved his legs to try to get out of bed. Qin Chaoyan reached out to help him but got a fierce glare in return: Behave yourself.
Qin Chaoyan calmly lifted his arm and helped him to steady his body that was about to fall again and then let go.
Ye Boxuan saw the little movements of the two people and calmly said to Ye Rongxu, “If you are not feeling well, don’t move around; just sit still.”
Ye Rongxu immediately stopped moving, as obedient as a quail.
Ji Qingyu turned around and walked back, looking at the scene with amusement.
To make it worse, the bed wasn’t that big, so Ye Rongxu was sticking close to Qin Chaoyan, almost sitting in his arms.
Ye Boxuan pressed his eyebrows, seeming a little tired.
“Uncle.” Qin Chaoyan lowered his eyes and stood up, intending to solemnly apologize and explain to the other party, asking the other party to allow him to continue to be with Ye Rongxu.
But before he could speak, Ye Boxuan put down his hand pressing on his forehead and said with a straight face, “Don’t move, aren’t you injured?”
Qin Chaoyan stiffened slightly. Although he knew that Ye Boxuandidn’t mean it that way, because of his own guilty conscience, he always felt somewhat embarrassed when he heard those words.
Ye Rongxu also turned his head to look at him, deliberately humming softly.
Ye Boxuan pulled a chair over and sat down beside the bed: “Lie down first. Xuxu and Qingyu have already explained the situation to me on the phone. You have worked hard during this period. In addition… Has the person who fired the gun been caught? Is the injury serious?”
“He was caught, and the injury is not serious. Thank you for your concern, Uncle.” Qin Chaoyan answered in an orderly manner.
Ye Boxuan nodded slightly, as if he was relieved.
Qin Chaoyan was silent for a while and then said, “When I was in the Xie Group before, I did some bad things, and I have to apologize to you…”
In the past three years, Ye Boxuan and Xie Yunming have been at odds with each other. When he was in Xie Group, he had more or less contact with some projects that competed with Ye Group. Although it was not intentional, nor was it his leading role, as a member of the project team, his involvement couldn’t be denied.
Ye Boxuan waved his hand before he finished listening to him, saying, “Let bygones be bygones, not to mention that you were in a position to do what needed to be done at the time.”
He can distinguish between public and private matters. Just like he knew the other party was in the Xie Group and didn’t show mercy when he made a move.
Besides, Qin Chaoyan was not free when he was under Xie Yunming’s control.
“As for other things, let’s talk about it later. You should take good care of your injuries first.” Ye Boxuan reminded him.
After saying that, he looked at Ye Rongxu, who was next to Qin Chaoyan, and sighed helplessly in his heart.
To be honest, he was not unaware that his child had been unhappy abroad for the past three years, and he even regretted letting the two of them separate.
When he first found out that Xie Yunming was a lunatic and had tried to harm Ye Rongxu, he was somewhat worried that if the two continued to be together, Ye Rongxu would be implicated by Qin Chaoyan and targeted by Xie Yunming. In addition, he also had some resentment towards the relationship between Qin Chaoyan and Xie Yunming at that time and ultimately made a choice that he later regretted.
As for Xie Yunming, he spared no effort to separate the two, causing all kinds of misunderstandings.
Now that the two were able to get back together despite all the hardship and the danger of Xie Yunming being eliminated, he will naturally not be the kind of conservative parent who separates the lovebirds.
But…
Thinking of the scene he saw outside the ward just now, he has a deep headache again.
These two people, one has not recovered from a gunshot wound, and the other has just recovered from an illness, but they are still restless and making trouble.
Aren’t they a little too anxious?
He couldn’t say anything to Qin Chaoyan, so he gave Ye Rongxu a look.
Ye Rongxu looked well-behaved and asked with concern, “Dad, how have you been this month? Didn’t you say you would arrive at the airport in half an hour? Are you tired after sitting on the plane for so long? How about I give you a shoulder massage?”
Ye Boxuan glanced at him and said, “Forget it; if I hadn’t come earlier, I wouldn’t have seen you and…”
Ye Rongxu looked even more obedient. Qin Chaoyan unconsciously straightened up while gently supporting Ye Rongxu’s back.
Ye Boxuan paused and then said helplessly, “Forget it.”
The son is grown up and can’t be kept; what else can be done?
However, looking at the two people sitting next to each other, he still felt a bit sad. The cabbage that had been carefully raised for three years was stolen again by the same person.
He abruptly stood up and said, “Is this the only bed left in the hospital that can accommodate people? Why do they make the injured squeeze together?”
Ye Rongxu was stunned for a moment, thinking that his father finally began to dislike him and Qin Chaoyan being together, so he hurriedly wanted to back out and said that he would go home today.
But before he opened his mouth, he heard Ye Boxuan say again, “It’s such a big room; let someone arrange another bed.”
Ye Rongxu: “…Oh.”
*
Ye Boxuan stayed in the ward for a while and then went downstairs to see Lin Jiaojiao and Ye Rongxu’s aunt.
Ye Rongxu had visited several times in the past two days, and now seeing Ye Boxuan going, he wanted to follow along as well.
Qin Chaoyan also got up and went together.
Ye Boxuan felt strange and asked, “Isn’t the gunshot wound very serious?”
Qin Chaoyan coughed lightly: “No bone was injured, and the wound has begun to heal; it’s not that serious.”
Ye Rongxu, sitting in a wheelchair, deliberately turned his head, looking at him with a smile. But he pressed his head lightly and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Ye Boxuan had just returned from the war zone in Africa and had seen many tragic scenes, especially those who were infected because of gunshots and were not treated in time. He couldn’t help but say earnestly, “You still have to take good care of yourself. Don’t be careless, like…”
He glanced at the two of them and said in a tone that was neither light nor heavy, “Things like strenuous exercise should be avoided as much as possible in the near future; don’t accidentally tear the wound.”
Qin Chaoyan, Ye Rongxu: “…”
The two of them thought of the “fooling” in bed just now, and their expressions were a little unnatural.
Especially Qin Chaoyan, who is usually the cold, serious, and unsmiling President Qin in the group and has a lot of momentum. But now, like Ye Rongxu, he is like a junior being scolded, as if he has returned to three years ago.
Ye Boxuan stopped talking and shook his head as he walked out of the elevator.
In the ward, Lin Jiaojiao was patiently reading online news to Lin Yu.
Since she started college, her studies were not as heavy as in high school, so she would visit her mother almost every day, and she has been coming more frequently recently.
Seeing Ye Boxuan and the other two come in, she quickly put down her phone and stood up, saying in surprise, “Uncle, you’re here.”
Ye Boxuan nodded, and seeing that she was reading the news just now, he asked, “I heard that your mother’s condition has improved recently?”
Lin Jiaojiao nodded, and when she thought of this, she couldn’t help but shed tears: “It’s all thanks to my brother and Qin… Brother Qin for finding out the truth. When I came to tell my mom about it that day, her finger suddenly moved. The doctor said it was a good sign. If we spend more time with her and talk to her more, she might wake up.”
So she has been accompanying her mother for longer than before and talking to her mother more, hoping that she can really wake up.
In addition to accompanying Qin Chaoyan these days, Ye Rongxu also comes to talk to his aunt and read the news to her.
Seeing that Lin Jiaojiao’s eyes were slightly red, Ye Boxuan sighed softly, patted his niece’s shoulder, and comforted her: “Don’t cry, this is a good thing; take good care of your mother.”
“Yes.” Lin Jiaojiao nodded vigorously.
Ye Rongxu also held her hand and comforted her silently.
Leaving the ward, Ye Boxuan couldn’t help but put his arm around his son’s thin shoulders and sighed, “Thanks to you and… Chaoyan, the truth of this matter was found out. Your mother will be very relieved if she knows it in the afterlife.”
When he said this, his eyes were a little moist. After a pause, he said, “Your dad is useless. I haven’t…”
Ye Rongxu hurriedly said, “Dad, this is not your fault. If you want to blame someone, you should blame Xie Yunming for taking the recording.”
After all, there was no evidence back then, and the police didn’t find any problems.
Ye Boxuan patted his shoulder and wanted to say something to Qin Chaoyan, but considering that his injury hadn’t healed yet, he gave up.
Ye Rongxu also took his hand and said, “Dad, you’ve been on the plane for so long, so you must be tired. Let’s rest.”
He could see that Ye Boxuan came in a hurry, and his face was still fatigued.
Ye Boxuan was indeed worried about them and rushed to the hospital with all his strength. Now that he was relieved, he was indeed a little tired, so he nodded and said, “You two should also take good care of your injuries and illnesses. I will come to see you…two in the afternoon.”
Originally, he wanted to say “you,” but when he saw Qin Chaoyan in his peripheral vision, he added the word “you two.”
However, Ye Rongxu didn’t understand and waved his hand, saying, “No, no, Dad, you have a good rest; you can come tomorrow.”
Ye Boxuan: “…”
The old father’s heart instantly cooled down.
*
As expected, Ye Boxuan didn’t come at night. It wasn’t because he was really hurt by his son, but because the company affairs had piled up and he needed to take charge of the overall situation.
He went to the hospital again the next afternoon.
Qin Chaoyan was listening to his subordinates reporting on company affairs. Ye Rongxu was playing with his mobile phone on another bed in the ward. There were various fruits and snacks on the table beside him. He looked like he was on vacation instead of being hospitalized.
Qin Chaoyan saw Ye Boxuan coming, so he raised his hand, signaling the person who was reporting to go out. His aura was no weaker than that of Director Ye.
But when there were only three of them left in the ward, he hurriedly stood up and said politely, “Uncle, you’re here.”
Ye Boxuan was somewhat emotional. The young man who was still immature three years ago is now able to take charge of his own affairs. He really didn’t make a mistake in his judgment.
However, he must have suffered a lot of hardships that ordinary people could not imagine in the past three years to grow up so quickly.
Ye Boxuan was in a complicated mood and waved his hand to signal him to sit back on the bed.
“You are injured, so you don’t need to get up.” He said, then pulled over a chair to sit between the two beds. “What do you plan to do with your uncle?”
Ye Rongxu immediately stopped eating fruit and turned to look at the two of them.
Qin Chaoyan did not answer immediately and instead glanced at Ye Rongxu from the corner of his eye.
He naturally had plans in mind, but there were some methods that he did not want Ye Rongxu to know.
In his heart, the other party would always be a clean, beautiful, dust-free little rose, and he did not want the other party to see his dark and ruthless side.
Noting his silence, Ye Boxuan continued, “I went to Africa this time to get some clues and find evidence of your uncle’s illegal activities. He tried to design a car accident that year. Although it wasn’t implemented, it was also considered an attempted murder. I found out that there were two people who were going to carry out this matter. One of them had died long ago, and the other was caught by me in Africa this time. However, his legs were blown off in the war, and he was carrying other cases on his back. This time he was brought back to China and sentenced to at least life imprisonment.”
“As for the kidnapping case, we have found solid evidence that it was your uncle who instructed it. I’m going to apply for his extradition back to China for trial. Hopefully, you won’t…find this unpleasant.”
Qin Chaoyan immediately shook his head and said, “Don’t worry, I have no other feelings for him except hatred, but… I’m afraid it will be difficult to extradite him.”
Ye Boxuan nodded. He also knew that it was difficult to extradite him, but he had heard before that… Xie Yunming had been controlled by Qin Chaoyan.
If Qin Chaoyan could bring Xie Yunming back to China, this matter would be easy to handle.
But Qin Chaoyan did not take the initiative to propose this method. Instead, he glanced at Ye Rongxu casually, then stood up and said to Ye Boxuan, “Uncle, let’s go out and talk first.”
Ye Rongxu, who was about to put a piece of fruit into his mouth: “???”
What can’t he hear?
So after the two of them left, he quickly got out of bed, stumbled to the door, and eavesdropped on the other side.
However, before he could hear anything, the footsteps came back.
He hurriedly tried to slip back into bed, but since he wasn’t walking so well yet, his body wobbled as soon as he took a step back.
The door of the ward was quickly pushed open, and he leaned back to avoid it. After losing his balance, he flapped his arms and fell forward, just in time to fall into a familiar and warm embrace.
Qin Chaoyan held his flexible waist tightly and lowered his head. His voice tinged with muffled laughter: “You miss me that much?”
