Chapter 523 Old Mrs. Xu Wakes Up
Wenren Chen gazed into those black, pearl-like eyes, which were filled with his reflection.
He moved his fingertips, rubbing them together, and said, "It's none of your business..."
"Sir, I...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to touch you. I just wanted to adjust your clothes. I didn't mean anything by it, sir, I'm so sorry..."
"I...I'm so sorry!"
I won't touch you!
As soon as Wenren Chen moved his fingertip, Zhou Yi, as if receiving a command, hurriedly withdrew his hand, apologized, and explained.
I hope he won't be angry or blame her.
The soft blade in his hand escaped, and Wenren Chen's fingertip missed its mark.
He gazed at the person in his arms who had instantly become terrified, tightened his arms around her waist, and said, "With you..."
"Woooo..."
An untimely vibration came from the bedside table, breaking the tense atmosphere inside.
Upon hearing this voice, Zhou Yi froze for a moment and remained silent.
She looked at the bedside table, where a cell phone was ringing.
It's the gentleman's cell phone.
The phone rang.
Upon hearing the whistling vibration, Wenren Chen's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
But looking at the person in his arms who had finally calmed down, he said, "It's not your fault, it's just that I'm a restless sleeper."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi's eyes widened, her lips parted, and she quickly said, "No, sir, it was me..."
"I'm not angry."
He interrupted her, his eyes deep in thought.
Zhou Yi's voice was hoarse.
She looked at this person whose tone of voice was the same as usual, yet seemed different, and her mind gradually became confused.
Sir, aren't you angry?
She finally stopped blaming herself and apologizing, her expression calm. Wenren Chen said, "Okay, go back to sleep, I'll go answer the phone."
After saying that, he let go of her, got up from the bed, crossed the collar of his open bathrobe, tied the straps, and took his phone to the balcony.
Zhou Yi lay on the bed, watching the tall, upright man get out of bed and leave. Without any displeasure, he pulled open the curtains to go to the balcony, then closed them again to prevent the outside light from coming in.
He disappeared from her sight.
Zhou Yi was stunned.
The gentleman seemed... to be genuinely not angry...
Outside on the balcony, the fresh mountain air rushed towards Wenren Chen as he emerged.
He stopped in front of the balcony, his gaze falling on the servants who were looking in his direction from outside the courtyard.
The maid was looking up at the balcony, checking the situation.
When Wenren Chen came out, his cold gaze fell on her face, and the maid froze, immediately lowering her head.
She didn't come here to spy on us on purpose; it was Qi Ma who instructed her to.
Tell them to keep an eye on what's happening here so they can report back.
Yes, it was them.
Not only her, but also other servants were scattered in various corners outside the Ink Garden.
They could sense any movement or disturbance between the two people in the bedroom.
Wenren Chen looked at the maid who had lowered her head, and swiped his fingertip across the phone to answer: "Hello."
"Mr. Chen, Grandma Xu has woken up."
Song Xingwen's voice came through the phone.
Wenren Chen's expression hardened, and he asked, "When?"
Song Xingwen said, "Dr. Qin was the first to discover it at four o'clock this morning. He did not leave the hospital last night and stayed by Grandma Xu's side the whole time."
"After Mrs. Xu woke up, he called the doctor, and everyone examined Mrs. Xu together."
"Now, we can confirm that Grandma Xu is awake and conscious. She recognizes Dr. Qin, but she is still a little weak after waking up and has fallen asleep now."
Wenren Chen looked at the distant green mountains. The new day's sunlight covered the green mountains and trees, making them lush and vibrant with life.
He said, "I'll arrange for someone to stay with Grandma. Zhou Yi and I will go to the hospital later."
"Ok."
He put down his phone and ended the call. His gaze fell on the dazzling sunlight. His eyes narrowed slightly. The golden light seemed like a sharp blade in his eyes, cleaving through the endless darkness within, extremely sharp.
In the bedroom.
After Wenren Chen left, the place became quiet.
No sound from outside could get in.
In this quiet place, looking at the drawn curtains, Zhou Yi's emotions gradually calmed down, her brows relaxed, and the haze on her face dissipated.
The man was not angry and did not blame her.
The man knew that people can't control themselves when they sleep at night, and that she didn't mean it.
How could such a good man blame her for this?
Overwhelmed with gratitude, Zhou Yi got up, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
A little while later, after her husband finished his phone call and came back, she told him that she would sleep on the sofa that night and that she would find another way to get a blanket.
Her husband didn't blame her, but she was afraid that she would repeat the same mistake she had made the night before.
She could no longer sleep in the same bed with her husband.
Wenren Chen took his phone back to the bedroom. His gaze fell on the bed, but the petite woman was gone. However, the sounds of water and noise came from the bathroom.
He looked around the bathroom, then put his phone on the bedside table and went to the dressing room.
Zhou Yi finished washing up and tidying up before coming out, just as Wenren Chen, dressed neatly, emerged from the dressing room.
Zhou Yi was looking towards the balcony when she heard a voice coming from the dressing room. She looked over and asked in surprise, "Sir, you... are you all ready?"
Seeing a man dressed neatly in a shirt and trousers, Zhou Yi was quite surprised.
She assumed her husband was still on the balcony taking a phone call.
Wenren Chen's gaze fell on her. She had changed out of her bright red bathrobe and was now wearing a light beige loose-fitting knitted short-sleeved button-down top and a pearl white A-line skirt that reached her calves. Her long hair was tied up in her familiar bun as always.
This outfit is very simple, as simple as a middle school student carrying a book on their way to class.
Wenren Chen looked at her soft and youthful appearance, his eyes lingering on her fair and flawless face, and said, "Okay, I'll go wash up, in a bit..."
"Woo~"
Before she could finish speaking, her phone vibrated from the dressing table.
Upon hearing the sound, Zhou Yi looked over and saw the phone screen on the dressing table lit up.
It's her cell phone.
A call comes in.
Zhou Yi said, "Sir, please go wash up. I'll take this call."
As she spoke, Zhou Yi walked over and picked up her phone.
elder brother.
The words were clearly displayed on the phone screen. Zhou Yi's eyelashes fluttered as she answered the call: "Brother."
Wenren Chen stood outside the dressing room, watching the person who went to answer the phone.
At that moment, her soft, smiling voice reached my ears, full of trust and affection.
His eyes flickered, but he remained standing there, not going to the restroom.
Jinlan Hospital.
Qin Shi was no longer in the hospital room.
But he didn't leave the hospital. He stood a few steps away from the ward, listening to the dial tone on his phone.
When that soft voice came from the phone and entered his ears, his heart stirred, his fingers twitched, and the coldness in his eyes changed: "Yiyi, are you up?"
Hearing his words, Zhou Yi smiled broadly: "You're up, brother. Are you up too? Have you had breakfast?"
This voice, full of laughter, was completely unaware that Xu Fengzhen had already woken up.
Qin Shi said, "Not yet, I'm in the hospital right now."
Zhou Yi was stunned: "Hospital?"
