Chapter 236: Chapter 236 Warmth
When Sheng Siyuan arrived in Y City, it was already around eight or nine in the evening.
After disembarking the plane, without even taking a sip of water, he took the car sent by Xu Guannan to the Drug Rehabilitation Center.
“How was she today?”
“President, rest assured, Madam’s episodes have decreased again. I specifically went to the Drug Rehabilitation Center to check today, and Dr. Qin was very pleased,”
Xu Guannan said while driving.
If even the attending doctor said so, then the situation must be quite good.
Sheng Siyuan’s heart eased.
Soon, the vehicle arrived at the entrance of the Drug Rehabilitation Center, and Sheng Siyuan, carrying a bowl of osmanthus wine lees, quickly got out of the car.
“Mr. Sheng, you’ve co so late?”
Having co here often, the doctors and nurses at the center had all rembered him.
Sheng Siyuan nodded, “Can I go in to see her?”
“Of course, Dr. Qin has already inford us about your visit, I’ve been waiting for you,”
The nurse said with a smile as she opened the door for him.
Sheng Siyuan then strode energetically inside; in just a short day, his steps had never been so urgent.
Indeed, when he got to the hospital room door, the light inside was still on.
He paused his steps, looked through the glass window, and saw the woman inside sitting quietly by the bed, setting aside the magazine she was holding.
It seed that she too was waiting for him.
A warmth filled Sheng Siyuan’s heart, and he pushed the door open and went in.
“I’m back~~”
“…Good.”
It was only when Yin Hehe looked up at that mont, and saw the travel-weary man, that a light flickered in her eyes.
She put the magazine down and stood up from the chair.
But unexpectedly, the man saw her standing and imdiately ca over to support her.
“You don’t have to get up, just sit.”
He was genuinely afraid she might fall again.
Yin Hehe wanted to clarify, but in the end, seeing his anxious and worried dark eyes, she simply gave a faint smile.
And sat down again.
“Coming over so late, have you eaten?”
“Not yet, you?” He was surprisingly candid when he put down the things in his hands.
Yin Hehe was taken aback.
“I have eaten, but… let
ask them if there’s still any food here. Can you manage a bite?”
She didn’t know what had gotten into her; she just suddenly ca out with it.
But as soon as the words left her mouth, the man, while taking off his coat, nodded readily, “Okay, have them bring it.”
Yin Hehe: “…”
She could only turn around and pick up the internal line phone from the bedside table.
Before long, a nurse really did co in with a al, on an iron plate used in the big dining hall, with a grid of rice in the middle and a few side dishes.
“Mr. Sheng, I’m sorry, you’ve co too late, and there wasn’t much left in the cafeteria. Just make do with a little bit,”
The nurse said apologetically as she brought the food to the renowned international conglorate president.
But Sheng Siyuan took a look and still sat down amiably.
“It’s fine, I’m not picky,”
Then he sat down at the small table in the hospital room.
Yin Hehe: “…”
He’s not picky?
She rembered, back when they were in Shengfei Bay, this guy’s pickiness about food could almost reach the heavens.
She quietly watched him.
But she noticed, after he picked up the chopsticks and looked at the food in the plate, he first picked up the braised pork ribs on the left.
“Crunch!”
The sound of teeth hitting bone.
He froze.
“Is it that bad? Then don’t eat it,” Yin Hehe said, starting to urge him to stop.
But after glancing at her, he continued to eat, appearing to even enjoy it.
“No, I was just thinking, how co the ribs here can still be bitten through?”
“What?”
Yin Hehe didn’t understand at first.
Sheng Siyuan then picked up another piece, put it in his mouth, and bit down hard again.
“Crack!”
A crisp sound.
Indeed, he had crushed it again.
This ti, Yin Hehe also felt sothing strange, so she stood up, walked over to the small table, and bent down to take a closer look.
“Do you want to try it?”
“Sure.”
Without thinking, Yin Hehe took the chopsticks from him.
She picked up a piece of rib, put it into her mouth, and bit down hard. When her teeth hit the hard bone,
she saw the mischievous smile curl up at the corner of the man’s mouth opposite her.
“You—”
“How does it taste, Mrs. Sheng? Do you want to sit down and join ?”
He smiled like a harmless fox.
Yin Hehe pinched her fingers, and eventually, she sat down opposite him.
“There’s only one pair of chopsticks, how can we eat?”
“It doesn’t matter, you take a bite, then I take a bite,” he said with a smile, actually suggesting it like it was nothing.
Uh…
Yin Hehe finally felt completely out of her elent.
You take a bite, then I take a bite?
Was this really the sa man as before, the one whose germaphobia was so severe that if she touched sothing, he felt the need to wash the whole of Shengfei Bay?
Ultimately, Yin Hehe found a spoon. While he ate, she took a few bites from the stead egg in the dish when she could.
“I heard the number of your episodes decreased again today. With this rate, can’t we go ho soon?”
“…”
The spoon in Yin Hehe’s hand paused midway.
It seed Dr. Qin had indeed followed her instructions, which was a relief.
Yin Hehe put down her spoon, pretending she was full, and got up to pour two glasses of water.
“Not so fast, according to our country’s laws, drug users must stay here for at least half a year compulsorily.”
“Half a year?”
With those words, the man grew unhappy.
He set down his chopsticks with a “snap” and asked, “But you didn’t take them yourself, you were frad!”
“It’s the sa,” Yin Hehe replied indifferently.
“If I want to keep my lawyer’s license and return to my original job position, I must abide by this. Otherwise, my lawyer’s license will be revoked.”
She walked over to his side, placed the glass of water in front of him, and patiently explained.
The man went silent.
He looked up at the glass of water as the angry veins on the back of his hand remained clearly visible.
But he didn’t say anything impulsive anymore.
Because he knew that this profession ant everything to Yin Hehe—it was her life!
“Alright, half a year it is. If things in Jiangbei stabilize by then, I can just move the headquarters here,” he decided.
“…”
Yin Hehe looked at the man in shock, montarily at a loss for what to say next.
After finishing the al, the visitation ti at the Drug Rehabilitation Center was nearly over.
“I will co to see you again tomorrow morning.”
As Sheng Siyuan left, he reluctantly made plans for the next morning.
Yin Hehe watched him without saying a word.
She had never seen him like this before; it was almost like a dream.
“There’s no need, you’re busy with work. How about this, buy
a phone and leave it with Dr. Qin. When I’m not in treatnt, I can chat with you.”
She finally compromised.
Maybe she, too, wanted to give herself a chance.
The man’s mood instantly brightened. That evening, after he left, regardless if the mobile phone stores were closed or not, he had Xu Guannan call the store owner directly.
He prepared a mobile phone and SIM card overnight.
By the ti he returned to the hotel, it was almost dawn.
