Several days passed, Shu Ya's high fever had already subsided, and Hao Jian repeatedly checked Shu Ya's health condition, finding her basically cured, which allowed him to finally relax.
As for Granny, who practiced talisman making, she was already sent to the hospital by a doctor Hao Jian called. Due to Crow's mischief, Granny had quite a few peck wounds on her body. Of course, the main issue was that she had accidentally fallen by herself.
After all, Granny was still asleep at the ti. Who knew a crow would suddenly fly in and peck at her wildly? She had fallen to the ground after struggling from the bed, suffering at least three bone fractures. Looking at her condition, it would be hard for her to leave the hospital in less than half a year.
Young people's injuries heal quickly, but once the elderly, like Granny, sustain injuries, recovery becos quite difficult.
Upon hearing this news, Hao Jian laughed heartily at ho, feeling that Granny had received the punishnt she deserved. After laughing it off, Hao Jian put the matter behind him and focused entirely on taking care of Shu Ya.
In fact, to let Shu Ya rest well, he personally left a ssage at the company, telling them to have soone else handle matters for Shu Ya.
However, only a handful of people knew about this, and the employees below didn't bother with such issues. After all, soone was bound to be concerned with matters concerning the CEO; they just needed to do their jobs.
"This girl, really. She hasn't fully recovered yet, and she's already gone back to work."
A week after Shu Ya's high fever, Hao Jian was lounging on the sofa at ho, looking at the empty room with a face full of helplessness. Just now, Shu Ya simply told him she was going to work and left.
But he wasn't too worried. For the past week, Hao Jian had been using his dical skills to prepare so dicinal foods for Shu Ya. She had been eating it for an entire week. At this degree, it could cure anything more serious than a high fever.
Moreover, Hao Jian had added so invigorating herbs to these als, gradually building up to the point where it finally triggered Shu Ya's energy.
Once that energy was triggered, she imdiately threw herself into work, a situation that left Hao Jian at a loss for words. But it was Shu Ya's choice, and Hao Jian respected it.
"I'm so bored! It's almost lunchti again..."
Hao Jian glanced at the clock on the wall; his face imdiately drooped. He touched his belly and shook his head with a light-hearted laugh. Even though he had breakfast just two hours ago, in the blink of an eye, it was already ti for lunch.
"Ugh, cooking by myself at ho is just
alone, there's no fun in that..."
He touched his chin, then suddenly grinned and muttered to himself: "It seems Yating went ho because of her thesis today. Just right, I can ask her out for lunch!"
"Hey!"
As soon as he thought of it, Hao Jian imdiately pulled out his phone, found Zhao Yating's number, and dialed.
"Hao Jian? What's up?"
Zhao Yating was originally in her study looking for so materials. Suddenly seeing Hao Jian's call, her pretty face showed a hint of surprise. Then she picked up the phone next to the computer.
"I'm telling you, Yating, it's lunchti. Co have a al with ."
Hao Jian didn't bother with pleasantries, getting straight to the point, then laughed: "If you want to tell
you're doing your thesis and won't co out to eat, don't bla
if I co to your house and carry you out."
Hearing this, Zhao Yating was montarily speechless. She had indeed planned to use this as an excuse when she got Hao Jian's call, since the deadline for her thesis submission was the day after tomorrow. She couldn't delay any longer; otherwise, she wouldn't have skipped a few days of classes to co ho. T%h.is. ch$a pter f-i#rst. a&p^pe% on M|!V!|@L^E-M-PYR.
Since she knew that in the quiet environnt at ho, she could focus better on finding materials. However, to her knowledge, Che Xiaoxiao was still at school as if nothing was happening, playing around.
Of course, if it were just about writing the thesis, Zhao Yating might not have had the resolve to skip classes and co ho. The main reason was that while attending a protocol class at school, she accidentally twisted her ankle while wearing stiletto heels. Though she'd seen a doctor, it would be difficult to walk normally until more than half a month had passed.
Because of Hao Jian's call, she hesitated back and forth.
"Well..."
Zhao Yating didn't know what to say about Hao Jian, but she didn't want to refuse either. After all, she could still work on her thesis tomorrow, and going out for a al with Hao Jian today wouldn't be bad.
The reason she thought this way was that lately, she'd been so busy with her thesis that she had almost forgotten about Hao Jian. Now that he was inviting her to lunch, she decided to keep him company, even though she still had injuries...
"Alright, co pick
up at twelve."
She nodded, and after saying this, she hung up the phone, her previous calm face imdiately filled with the playful expressions of a young girl. She subconsciously made a bounce, but as she jumped, her face abruptly changed. She had forgotten sothing important.
"Sss!"
Drawing a sharp breath, Zhao Yating's pretty face showed a hint of helplessness. She had forgotten her foot was still injured.
"Alright, let's tidy up and wait for Hao Jian to co over!"
After calming herself, Zhao Yating looked at the books scattered all over the table, rubbed her forehead, and began putting them back one by one into the bookshelf. After spending five minutes tidying up, she went to the bathroom to take a good shower and then into her room, where she applied her favorite Saint Laurent No. 6 lipstick.
By the ti Zhao Yating finished all of this, it was already 12:10. At this mont, a black Range Rover suddenly stopped at Zhao Yating's doorstep.
"Hey, girl, co out!"
Looking through the car window, the person driving the Range Rover was Hao Jian. He was holding a phone, calling Zhao Yating.
"Coming!"
Zhao Yating responded and hung up the phone, then grabbed her Dior shoulder bag and limped toward the door.
"What's going on, what happened to your foot?"
Seeing Shu Ya limping over, Hao Jian's expression changed slightly. He quickly unfastened his seatbelt, got out of the car, ran to Zhao Yating, and supported her.
"It's nothing, just sothing that happened at school a few days ago."
Zhao Yating shook her head. She could bear the pain; at least, she didn't want to spoil the mood for today's al.
"Let
take a look later."
Seeing Zhao Yating like this, Hao Jian knew the girl didn't plan to elaborate, so he shook his head, then supported Zhao Yating, slowly walked to the car, and helped her get in.
At first, when Hao Jian saw Zhao Yating injured her foot, he thought about going out to buy so groceries and having a al at Zhao Yating's house. However, he also understood Zhao Yating and guessed she wouldn't agree, so he dismissed the idea.
"Next ti sothing happens, rember to call
and let
know, alright?"
Hao Jian looked at Zhao Yating, his expression serious and solemn. This ti, she just twisted her ankle, luckily it wasn't serious. But if sothing happened that Zhao Yating couldn't handle next ti and she still didn't tell him, that would be unacceptable.
"Okay."
Zhao Yating nodded without thinking; whatever Hao Jian said was how it would be.
"Hehe, let's go, I found a restaurant, it's really delicious!"
Seeing Zhao Yating agree, Hao Jian chuckled, his smile growing more pronounced. Then he hit the gas pedal, driving the Range Rover, racing towards the restaurant this ti!
Lately, Hao Jian had been overwheld with a ton of issues, but that didn't stop him from going out to look for so restaurants he enjoyed. This ti, he chose one with a Cantonese cuisine the.
Sichuan, Shandong cuisine, and so on, Hao Jian had tasted a lot, but he had a special fondness for Cantonese cuisine.
While Hao Jian and Zhao Yating were heading to the restaurant, in a certain company office in Hua City, a man was teasing a newly hired female secretary.
Suddenly, a phone call ca in...
"Boss! There's news!"
"Speak."
This boss didn't stop teasing the female secretary, his voice low.
"The woman you asked us to monitor is out. It seems she's going to eat, ah... that woman parked at Adventure Cantonese Cuisine Restaurant and went in!"
"Adventure Cantonese Cuisine Restaurant?!"
The boss's face showed a trace of surprise, then he snorted coldly, "Keep monitoring, I'll be there soon!"
After speaking, the boss hung up the call, pushed off the female secretary who was sitting on him, and made another call, "Get
a car, a good one."
After hanging up, he grabbed his suit jacket under the resentful gaze of the female secretary and dashed out of the dim office, quickly heading downstairs.
While this boss was taking action, Hao Jian and the others were unaware. But as for those people monitoring, Hao Jian had noticed them long ago. As soon as he drove to Zhao Yating's door, he had already noticed five or six people surveilling there.
However, Hao Jian didn't plan to pay them any mind. Nevertheless, he had secretly asked Spice Ginger to investigate. After all, Zhao Yating was his woman, and now she was being watched, how could he not take action?
But this matter couldn't be discovered in the short term; however, he wasn't too worried. With him protecting Zhao Yating, nothing would happen to her.
Soon, the two arrived at the restaurant entrance. Before entering the restaurant, Hao Jian slled a faint fragrance, which was from the dishes being cooked in this Cantonese Restaurant.
After all, the Cantonese Restaurant's kitchen was just three ters to the right of the restaurant's entrance, in a sixty-square-ter room.
