Ye Jie was in his own thoughts and didn’t even realize that Xu y had brought him to the He family ho. While she ran inside the house, Ye Jie decided to take his ti. He wasn’t eager to go inside. Or was he? Perhaps he was! But he couldn’t decide at the mont.
The reason for his stress had been this family in the first place. He couldn’t decide whether he wanted to co clean or not? One thing was sure, he had a jumbled up mind.
"Uncle Chen!" Xu y called out to Zhu Chen as soon as her eyes caught sight of him. "I’m really sorry. Ah-Jie was in the hospital and it totally skipp-"
"Ye Jie is in the hospital? Why didn’t you inform us? Which hospital? Tell ," Zhu Chen instantly forgot all about the gift in Xu y’s hand. It didn’t matter at the mont.
Xu y was surprised to see his flustered look. "Calm down, uncle Chen! Ah-Jie is fine now. He had a bit of a fever. He’s absolutely fine now. He’s in the car outside."
"Oh, really? I should check his fever myself." Zhu Chen mumbled to himself and ran out of the house to see Ye Jie. Xu y was left alone to look at his disappearing figure.
She was frowning when she heard the voice from behind, "Xiao y, when did you co?"
"Huh? Oh, I just arrived." Xu y said distractedly and pulled out a small box from her jacket. "Here. This one is yours."
He Susu looked at the small box and took it from her hand. She opened it and was surprised. "Xiao y, I asked you for a pocket watch. But this is a double lapel broach for n."
"Oh, about that... Auntie Su, you had been away from the country so it might have slipped from your mind but watches are a taboo gift in our culture. You know it brings bad luck and people avoid using it as gifts. I wanted to inform you about changing the gift but honestly, I was too busy with stuff." Xu y explained everything in a single breath making He Susu chuckle.
"It’s alright. This is also very beautiful and the way you used maple leaf design along with these gems is a masterpiece. I love it. And I’m sure my Chen will also love it." He Susu was quite satisfied with the gift in her hand. She was very touched that Xu y even took notice of the fact that watches should not be given as presents. It’s ominous but He Susu completely had forgotten about it.
Outside the house, Ye Jie was walking slowly when Zhu Chen almost ran out of the doors. "Ye Jie, are you fine? Co inside, let check your temperature. How can you get sick like this at such an age? You should take more care of yourself. You’re a fully grown man, does it make sense that fever got stronger than you?" He was nagging and Ye Jie didn’t know what to do about it.
Zhu Chen didn’t even give Ye Jie a single chance to say anything in his defense. He kept dragging Ye Jie inside the house. "Dr. Chen, I’m absolutely fine now. I just overtired myself. You don’t have to worry at all. This is an important ti for you. Your anniversary is tomorrow. You should be with your wife right now."
"How can any celebration be more important than your life? We’ll do a proper checkup and then we’ll decide about the further actions." Zhu Chen spoke sternly making Ye Jie sit quietly.
’Huh? Was my fever more important? How? When did that happen?’ Ye Jie thought to himself.
"Elder sister, bring my bag!" Zhu Chen yelled and after a while, Zhu Qinyang ca with his bag.
"Why do you need it at this ti?" Zhu Qinyang asked looking at her brother sternly.
"Ye Jie is sick." He replied and took the bag from her.
"Aiyo! What happened?" Zhu Qinyang sat beside Ye Jie and kept asking him about how it happened. "Why didn’t Xiao y even inform us?"
"It’s a small matter. That’s why she didn’t disturb you guys." Ye Jie defended his wife as he was really stuck between these people.
"The B.P is a bit low and temperature isn’t gone yet. You need plenty of rest. Elder sister, ask soone to clean up the guest room. He’ll be staying here. And also, ask the maids to make so porridge for him." He stopped to think before adding, "Forget it, I’ll go myself to make the arrangents for the room and you should make the porridge yourself."
"You guys don’t-" Before Ye Jie’s word could leave his mouth, Zhu Chen cut him off.
"You young man just stay still. We’ll be right back." With that, Zhu Chen went upstairs.
"I’ll be back with so porridge for you." Zhu Qinyang smiled affectionately at him and patted his head like a kid before standing up to leave.
"What are they doing? It’s just a bit of a fever." Ye Jie whispered to himself. But he’d be lying if he said that he didn’t like this all. It was rare for him to see soone taking this much care of him.
While Zhu Qinyang was running to make the porridge she bumped into He Susu. "Sis, why are you running?"
"Su, Ye Jie has a fever and I’m going to make so porridge for him." Zhu Qinyang answered in a hurry.
"What? Where is he?" He Susu asked in a fluster.
"He’s in the living room." Then Zhu Qinyang turned to Xu y who was walking towards them and said, "You! Xiao y, I’ll talk to you later. In detail at that too." Xu y felt the hidden anger in her voice and gulped.
"What did I do?" Xu y asked but no-one was around to solve her confusion since both the won had left her alone in the hallway.
She trudged towards the living room after shrugging her shoulders and to see the sight before her, she was stunned.
