Chapter 10
Ye Zinan once again displayed a compliant demeanor in front of the elders, saying, "Dad, we are all family, so there’s no need to worry about any troubles. Please take a rest; I will handle the formalities."
Then give it to Zitong
Ye Zinan looked at her with a mocking expression, "Is there a wolf chasing you from behind?"
The two brothers, Ye Zinan and his sibling, looked at their sister with pained expressions and said in unison, "You will regret it."
Su Qi nodded vigorously, and Ye Zinan held her in his arms, "Please stop crying, okay?"
After speaking, he ran out as if fleeing for his life, and only relaxed once he reached the car
Ye Zinan turned off the engine and got out of the car. Su Qi glanced at the gift box in the back seat, tilted her body to reach it, and also got out of the car
Dad, why do you always forget to take your medicine on time? Do you think you are still young?
Mother Ye looked at her and casually remarked, "Since you like it so much, why not hurry up and have one yourself"
Su Qi extended his arms to embrace his father's arm, saying, "You are not old at all; you are still handsome."
Su Qi pressed a button, and the music gradually floated out. Feeling bored, she opened the storage box and casually flipped through its contents. Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she held up a CD and asked Ye Zinan, "You still follow celebrities? I really couldn't tell."
She pressed a key, and after a brief pause, a pure and ethereal female voice floated through the car, elegant and melodious, like a celestial sound
Su Qi exaggeratedly exclaimed "Oh," looking at his face with understanding and said, "Don't worry, it's perfectly fine to like someone; being a fan is nothing to be ashamed of. I also like Tang Ranbing; she is beautiful. Although she is a newcomer just returning to the country, her acting and singing skills are quite profound, unlike some people who are merely decorative. You have a good eye for talent."
As soon as Su Qi opened her mouth, tears began to fall. In a state of utter confusion, she murmured, "The last time I went home, I even lost my temper at them. It's all my fault. I haven't gone back to see them for such a long time. They are getting older; I should spend more time with them..."
Su Qi sat by the bedside, conversing with his father and mother.
Ye Zinan glanced at Su Qi and said, "Then let's go in quickly."
Ye Zinan parked the car steadily by the roadside, reached out to wipe away the tears on her cheek, and softly comforted her, "Don't cry, we will go to the hospital now, Dad will be fine. How about I accompany you home to visit every week from now on?"
Mother Ye smiled as she held her hand and put it on her, saying, "I am already of a considerable age, there is no need for this."
Ye Zizhang married Zhou Yu a few years ago, and last year he also became a father. Zhou Yu is seen holding the child, chatting and laughing with them.
Zhou Yu patted Su Qi's hand gently and smiled at her reassuringly, saying, "Let things take their natural course."
Before the car had even left the courtyard, Su Qi's phone rang. After just listening to a couple of sentences, her expression changed.
Su Qi could only accept it, as Ye Mu held her hand, saying, "It is often said that a person nurtures jade, and jade nurtures a person, so just keep it with you."
A hint of panic appeared on Ye Zinan's flawless face, but it was quickly concealed. In an unprecedented manner, she explained, "I heard her voice is quite good, so I bought it to listen."
Su Qi took out the disc and put it into the CD player, "Let's listen to this one."
It rained all night on Saturday, and although the sun was shining brightly the next morning, the temperature had already dropped. A gentle breeze was blowing, and the refreshing autumn weather seemed to have arrived ahead of schedule
You just haven't arrived yet; my mother asked me to come out and take a look
Yet, Ye Zinan's brows furrowed at the moment the female voice sounded
Then give it to the elder sister-in-law
Now, only Ye Mu and Su Qi remained in the living room, and Su Qi immediately gathered all her energy to respond to Ye Mu's questions
When Su Qi and Ye Zi Nan arrived at the hospital, they happened to see Su's father being pushed out from the emergency room, while Su's mother stood beside him talking to the doctor
Although Ye's father holds a high position, he conducts himself and his affairs in a very low-key manner. The birthday banquet is merely a gathering of family members. As Ye Zinan just parked the car, Su Qi saw Ye Zitong waiting at the door with a cheerful smile
Su Qi originally wanted to say thank you, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt it was awkward. He opened his mouth but swallowed the words back.
Regarding such issues, Su Qi is at a loss on how to cope with the child's questions, which she has never planned for, and it seems that Ye Zinan has never brought it up either
No, I went to the Ye family today; it was given by his mother
Things are meant to be used; if they are left unused, what value do they hold? The weather is getting colder, and with more clothes to wear, they are less likely to be easily damaged
After speaking, the vehicle slowly glided away
Su Qi's thoughts are entirely focused on the child beside her, a soft and tender little bundle, whose adorable appearance, waving tiny fists and dancing about, is truly charming. She reaches out her hand gently to tease, a smile gracing her face
On the way back, Ye Zinan chatted with his foster parents, his face full of smiles, making them laugh all the way. Su Qi wore a perfunctory smile, thinking about her previous interactions with Ye Zinan, feeling nothing but sorrow. When would they be able to interact like that as well?
Su Qi was taken aback all of a sudden
After speaking, he leaned forward and said to his father, who was sitting on the sofa, "Dad, I'm leaving now. Please take care of yourself."
The outer packaging of the disc features a very beautiful woman. Although Ye Zinan does not often drive this car, during work, he naturally has that stable and luxurious black sedan, and for entertainment, he mostly drives that flashy sports car. There are also two spare cars in the garage, but the items in this car definitely cannot belong to anyone else
Su Qi looked at Ye Zinan while holding the gift box
Su Qi turned to look at Ye Zinan, but he did not look at her; instead, he was staring at the jade bracelet.
Ye Zinan wore a cold expression, as if she did not want to have any connection with this gift, or rather, did not want to have any connection with her
Upon arriving at the ward, the expression on my father-in-law's face appeared much improved. "Zinan, I apologize for troubling you again with another trip."
After sending my foster parents home, just before leaving, my foster mother held onto me and asked, "Why do you seem so distracted? Did you have a fight with Zinan?"
Mother Ye looked at her with a face full of affection, indicating that this gift was quite successful
Ye Zinan revealed her first smile in these past few days and said to Ye Zitong, "What are you doing waiting here?"
As soon as I entered, I saw a family sitting on the sofa chatting. Mr. Ye noticed them and said, "Come over and sit down, dinner will be served soon."
... ... ''
Father Ye turned around and smiled, "Then you should come along too"
"Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law." Ye Zitong ran over and wrapped her arm around Su Qi's, appearing several years younger than Su Qi, with a youthful and carefree demeanor.
Mother Ye sighed, "You are not young anymore; it has been almost three years since you got married, it is about time."
The baby opened her mouth and let out a big yawn. Zhou Yu stood up holding her and said, "Mom, you and Xiao Qi chat first, I will take her to sleep."
Su Qi's eyes were misty as she said, "Mom said that Dad suddenly fainted at home and is now in the hospital"
Upon hearing the doctor's words, all three individuals breathed a sigh of relief
Ye Mu nodded slightly, "Go ahead."
Zhou Yu looked at the troubled Su Qi and came to her rescue, saying, "Mom, Zinan and she are still young; let's talk about it in a few years."
As she raised her arm, the jade bracelet on her wrist was revealed. The matron grasped her hand and asked, "Is this a gift from Zinan?"
I have already given something else to the boss; this is for you
I am afraid it will be broken
Su Qi was taken aback for a moment, then immediately shook his head, firmly denying, "No! We are doing well, how could we argue? Mom, you are overthinking it."
The frost on Ye Zinan's face also melted, "What happened?"
The patient is currently stable. The fainting was caused by elevated blood pressure. I have inquired with the patient, and he has not been taking his blood pressure medication regularly. Moving forward, he should take his medication on time and pay attention to his diet, as well as avoid excessive fatigue. After a short rest, the patient will be able to be discharged.
Ye Zinan quickly turned around to head to the hospital, driving while reaching out to tightly hold the intertwined hands of Zhu Qi, saying, "Don't worry, everything is fine. Dad's health has always been good, so rest assured."
Ye Mu seems to be quite satisfied with her recent performance, no longer bringing up any difficult questions. She merely inquired about her and Ye Zinan's recent situation, and later presented her with a jade bracelet, saying, "This was obtained by your father during his early years of aid to Xinjiang. You young people find gold and silver to be vulgar and do not like them; this is quite nice."
She could only smile as she handed the item to Father Ye, "Dad, happy birthday"
She quickly interrupted her foster mother, "Ye Zinan is still waiting downstairs. I will leave first. I will come to see you and Dad again tomorrow. Please make something delicious for Dad!"
Su Qi nodded obediently
During mealtime, the family chatted and laughed, creating a joyful atmosphere. After the meal, Father Ye called Ye Zizhang and Ye Zinan to the study, leaving several women on the sofa to watch television and converse.
Su Qi looked at his profile; he seemed to have reverted back, as if the person who had just softly comforted her and displayed affection in front of her parents was someone else entirely
Did you go to his house? I suddenly called you back; your mother-in-law didn't say anything, did she
The wrist, as smooth as凝脂, is adorned with a round and lustrous jade bracelet, exuding a subtle elegance. He had never considered Su Qi to be the type of gentle and charming woman, yet at this moment, she fully embodied femininity and grace, with the white jade bracelet shimmering brilliantly.
The mother looked at her with a face full of suspicion, observing for a long time but unable to discern anything. She sighed and said, "It's good if there isn't. Zinan is a good man; you both should get along well. You've been stubborn since you were little, and now that you're married, you need to change that a bit..."
No, we were on our way back when you called
Su Qi took a glance at the jade bracelet, which was crystal clear and smooth, clearly made of high-quality Hetian mutton fat jade. She hurriedly returned it to Ye Mu, saying, "Mom, this is too precious; you should keep it for yourself."
After leaving the Ye family, Su Qi was about to take off the jade bracelet when Ye Zi Nan held her back, frowning and looking displeased, "Why take it off when you are wearing it so well?"
Ye Zinan did not know when he had arrived, standing to one side and watching for a while, suddenly saying, "This is from Mom, you can just take it."
Although Ye Zinan continuously reassured Su Qi that nothing would happen, he was merely doing so to comfort her. As one ages, the body becomes quite fragile, and situations can vary in severity. Despite his verbal assurances, he could not be entirely certain in his heart.
Ye Zinan glanced at her and said, "Thank you for the compliment"
Regardless of his thoughts, Su Qi felt very grateful to him. She was thankful for his comfort, for his help in managing everything, for his kindness towards her parents, and for not allowing her to lose face in front of them
The old man chuckled, "Indeed, I am getting old; there's no denying it. In the blink of an eye, I've become quite the old fellow."
When Father Ye opened the gift box, his eyes lit up. He exchanged a glance with Mother Ye, carefully closed it, and smiled as he said, "Xiao Qi is thoughtful."
Su Qi looked at his wrist for a long time and said, "Well, alright then"
Su Qi turned to glance at Ye Zinan, who was focused on driving. His face was dark and gloomy, contrasting sharply with the weather outside
That girl is never quiet for a moment; if you give her something, she will probably break it in no time
Ye Zitong is the youngest daughter in the family and has been doted on since childhood. She pouted at her father's back and said, "Dad, you always whisper to elder brother and second brother. Why don't you ever call me? I am your child too, and you don't care about me at all!"
As soon as Su Qi heard this opening remark, she felt a headache coming on; the next segment would surely begin with how Ye Zinan had treated her so well. Ever since getting married, every time she returned home, her mother-in-law would recite this same script, and she could recite it by heart. She once thought that since her mother-in-law was a university professor, she wouldn't be like those aunties who endlessly nagged, but later she realized she was mistaken. Once women reach a certain stage in life, they tend to become chatty, and this has nothing to do with their level of education or knowledge.
