Chapter 207 Don't Come Over
"Miss Jiang, Mr. Chi has arrived."
Youming knocked on the door. The noise outside was loud, but it was much quieter when it reached the ward.
Jiang Yi stared blankly at the open door. Chi Ruiche gazed at her tenderly, a smile playing on his lips, but his heart was in turmoil at that moment.
She pushed Lü Haotian away forcefully and shrank into a corner in a panic.
"Don't come any closer, make him leave."
Jiang Yi clutched her chest, her trembling voice unusually sharp.
"Yi-yi, I'm here. Can you look at me?"
"Go away, go away then."
Jiang Yi's shrill scream pierced Chi Ruiche's body like a sharp sword.
"Second brother, let him go. Don't let him show up again."
Chi Ruiche was panting heavily, his smile faded, his cheeks flushed, and a hint of red lingered in the corners of his eyes. He called her name in a hoarse, bitter voice.
"all."
"you go."
Jiang felt increasingly afraid of his voice. She covered her ears, and a voice inside her kept telling her that she was afraid of him and should stay away from him.
"Boss, given Xiao Yi's current situation, you'd better not upset her. I'll take care of her during this time, so don't worry."
Lu Haotian hugged Jiang Yi and gently comforted him, "Xiao Yi, it's alright, your second brother is here."
"Second brother, let him go." Jiang Yi gripped the hem of his clothes tightly, his eyes darting around.
"Boss, I'll take good care of Xiao Yi, don't worry."
Lü Haotian's tone rose and his voice was powerful, like a stone thrown to the ground, stirring up ripples.
"Xiao Yi, do you remember you said you wanted to see me?"
Chi Ruiche knelt down and gazed at Jiang Yi, his eyes conveying endless longing and pleading.
Jiang Yi did not answer him; her empty eyes were filled with terror, and her lips trembled slightly.
Chi Ruiche's expression gradually darkened. "You should get some rest."
Jiang Yang rushed over, and Chi Ruiche, who was in a daze, and Jiang Yi, who was like a frightened bird, seemed to understand everything.
"give it to me."
Chi Ruiche didn't remember how he left. For a full hour, he sat alone in the audience of the Autumn Wind Theater like an old tree.
The hall was empty and dimly lit, except for a single beam of light illuminating the stage.
Chi Ruiche felt as if he had fallen into an icy river, his whole body frozen. He lowered his head, his hair falling down to cover the darkness in his eyes.
He slumped against the seat, tears welling silently in his eyes.
The next day, warm sunlight peeked out from behind the clouds and shone on Jiang Yi. Lü Haotian followed behind, his eyes filled with tenderness, his calm face showing affection.
"Finally discharged from the hospital."
Jiang Yi raised his hand to shield his eyes from the glaring sunlight. A few white clouds drifted across the azure sky, a sight that was truly refreshing.
"Let's go home."
Lu Haotian naturally took her hand. He was dressed entirely in pure white, and his every move exuded a scholarly air.
"So comfortable."
Jiang Yi's eyes were filled with light, as if stars had fallen into them.
As soon as she said those words, Jiang Yi opened her mouth slightly, her eyes glazed over, and turned to face Lü Haotian, a face that was both familiar and strange.
Jiang Yi is currently quite attached to Lü Haotian, and she implicitly acknowledges that he is her boyfriend.
To avoid upsetting her, Jiang Yang agreed to let Jiang Yi stay temporarily at Lü Haotian's new residence. After breaking up with Liu Shiya, she also moved from the apartment to a new villa, located near Chi Ruiche's home.
With a decor almost identical to Chi Ruiche's house, Jiang Yi was familiar with every corner and even found the bedroom on the second floor without the maid's guidance.
"Why do I feel different?"
Jiang Yi muttered to herself. She knew every place in the villa like the back of her hand, but why did the bedroom feel so unfamiliar when she opened it?
“I had them redecorate the bedroom to change things up.”
Lu Haotian frowned, unsure if she could accept such a response.
Second brother.
"Well, what happened?"
"I'm a little hungry."
Jiang blinked and spoke somewhat shyly.
Lu Haotian approached Jiang Yi step by step, looking down with a smile, bending down to look her in the eye, and gently flicking her nose with his index finger.
"Okay, I'll tell them to start eating."
Jiang Yi nervously took a step back and leaned against the wall.
"I'll go in and tidy up first."
Lu Haotian narrowed his eyes, gently stroked her hair, and leaned closer, their hot breaths colliding.
"The doctor told you to stay home and rest for a few days, so you're not allowed to run around."
"know."
Jiang Yi muttered to herself that she had been resting for almost a month before she was finally able to be discharged from the hospital.
Lu Hao went downstairs to check the meals prepared in the kitchen. Everything was prepared to the highest standards, and he also consulted Jiang Yang. Everything prepared was something Jiang Yi liked to eat.
"Sir, Mr. Chi just sent someone to deliver a bowl of stewed coconut chicken soup, saying it's for Miss Jiang to nourish her body."
The maid, carrying a clay pot, dared not make a decision on her own.
"Put the soup I asked you to prepare on the table."
Lü Haotian responded coldly.
Jiang Yi changed into a comfortable warm yellow loungewear, sat down naturally at the dining table, glanced at the carefully prepared food, and then her gaze lingered on a bowl of soup.
“I want to drink this.”
Jiang Yi accepted the gift from Chi Ruiche without hesitation.
"you sure?"
"It's just soup, what's there to be uncertain about?"
Jiang Yi glanced sideways, took a sip, and found the hot chicken soup to be delicious and fragrant, with the unique sweetness of coconut. It instantly took over her taste buds, and it was the flavor she liked.
Every day that Jiang Yi stayed at Lü Haotian's house, Abu and Jiang Chen came to stay for a while in turn, ostensibly to keep him company.
Before each meal, Chi Ruiche would instruct Aunt Wang to prepare some dishes and send them over, but no one mentioned these.
"Try this."
Lü Haotian stayed with Jiang Yi, and the two acted like a couple, spending every day together.
"do not like."
Jiang kept shaking her head, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork and chewed it carefully. There was always one or two dishes that she particularly liked every day.
Lu Haotian clenched his fists, but a smile remained on his face, concealing his anger. Every day, Jiang Yi's favorite food was delivered by Chi Ruiche; she never missed a single meal.
"I like."
Abu grinned foolishly, picked up a piece of meat, and ate it in big bites.
"Who told you to be a pig, eating everything?"
Jiang Yi remembered Abu and couldn't help but argue with him.
"I'm just in good health, you little brat."
Abu made a face at Jiang Yi, acting childishly like two elementary school students arguing.
"Second brother, I've been cooped up at home for so long, it's like I'm in confinement after giving birth."
"Ahem—"
Abu almost spat out his water after taking a sip, feeling as if his lie had been exposed.
"I'm stuffed."
Jiang Yi looked disgusted and deliberately wiped her hands.
Am I poisonous?
Abu rolled his eyes. "I was even planning to take you out for a walk."
Jiang Yi brushed her bangs aside and put on a fawning expression. "My hands were just dirty. You've misunderstood."
Abu, enjoying Jiang Yi's flattery, raised an eyebrow smugly, "Oh, I see. I misunderstood."
"Let's take a walk in the yard. I'll take you to a banquet tonight, okay?"
Lu Haotian patted Jiang Yi's hand and asked patiently.
"I don't like participating in those kinds of activities."
Lu Haotian completely enveloped Jiang Yi's hand with his large palm, the movement was very natural, and he coaxed her with a doting tone.
"This event will showcase a hairpin with a dangling ornament and inlaid with filigree. It is very old and exquisite."
Perhaps due to her exposure to traditional opera, Jiang Yi had a great passion for collecting ancient jewelry. At that time, Chi Ruiche specially commissioned a skilled craftsman to create a set of headdresses for her.
"it is good."
"Let's go for a stroll in the garden."
Abu finished his bowl of soup with satisfaction and then took Jiang Yi for a walk in the yard.
The breath of spring is growing stronger, and the garden's spring colors are even more captivating under the sunlight.
At this moment, Jiang Yi stood in the courtyard, where flowers bloomed in vibrant colors, each one a meticulously crafted work of art.
Abu quietly took out his phone and sent a message, glancing at Jiang Yisheng every now and then to make sure she saw it.
Jiang Yi paid no attention to Abu's actions. Her fingers traced the petals, and she couldn't suppress a smile.
"I won't peek, I'm afraid of getting a sty."
Jiang Yi couldn't help but make a joke.
"It's all content that's not suitable for children, but it's for your own good."
Abu pulled a ring out of his pocket.
The ring's main stone features a rose-red petal design, with an irregular shape resembling an iris fluttering in the wind.
"A gift for me? Do you want my help?"
Jiang Yi accepted the suit without hesitation and tried it on; the size was just right.
"This is a gift from the boss."
Abu blurted out that everyone said she didn't remember Chi Ruiche, and no one dared to mention it for fear of upsetting her. But Abu was different; how could the time they spent together be so easily erased?
Jiang stood there stunned, somewhat dazed, and it took him a while to regain his senses.
"Thank him for me, he's very beautiful."
"Xiao Si, actually you and the boss have always had a very good relationship. The boss is different to you."
As soon as I finished speaking, a thought flashed through my mind: in a sea of pink flowers, a person was kneeling on one knee, saying something, as if the television had been muted, leaving it blank and silent.
