When Lu Yang woke up again, it was already evening.

She picked up the water from the bedside table. It was still warm, and she took a sip, relieving the dryness of her lips.

She put on her slippers and came out, greeted by the aroma of food.

Jiang Yanzhou was placing a dish on the dining table. His shirt sleeves were rolled up, revealing his sturdy forearms and watch, giving off the appearance of a good homely man.

Lu Yang stopped in her tracks, gazing at him without blinking.

If they hadn’t formally said goodbye, he would always stay.

Several times, she thought they had quarreled and he would surely leave, but in the blink of an eye, he would appear before her again.

The unintentional tenderness he showed her stirred an indescribable sense of excitement in her heart.

Jiang Yanzhou saw her and greeted, ‘Wake up and come eat.”

Lu Yang walked over and stood in front of him, her slender arms wrapped around his waist, her face against his chest as she rubbed against him, without saying a word.

Jiang Yanzhou extended his hand to embrace her, as if he had discovered some secret. “Is it the benefit of falling ill, being able to throw yourself into someone’s arms?”

Lu Yang raised her hand, touching his scapula. “I dreamt about you.”

Jiang Yanzhou’s palm rested on her waist. At her words, his eyebrow raised slightly, and his tone had a hint of amusement. “Seems like it was a good dream.’

At least it was a beautiful dream.

At least in the dream, she felt at ease.

Remembering something, Jiang Yanzhou said, “If there’s anything I don’t handle well, if you feel wronged in any way, you must tell me promptly. I’m here to make you happy, not to make you suffer.”

“Okay,” Lu Yang’s heart skipped a beat, and she said, “He Kongqing and I are just ordinary friends. You should trust me.”

“You and him are very familiar with each other, spending time together day and night. Although I’m older than you, I know I shouldn’t get jealous and envious so easily. But,” Jiang Yanzhou swallowed, “I’m just a man. Don’t overestimate me. When I see you two frequently contacting each other, I will still mind.’

“He Kongqing knows about our relationship, and he doesn’t like me either.”

“Nowadays, there are many male third parties,” Jiang Yanzhou seized her words, “why does it feel like you’re a little disappointed that he doesn’t like you?”

A gentle kiss landed on Lu Yang’s hair as Jiang Yanzhou’s lips curved. “Alright, I was teasing you. Are you hungry? Let’s eat first.”

Having fallen ill, Lu Yang rested for a full two days.

Winter, with its biting cold, Christmas approaching, and various decorations adorning the malls in vibrant colors.

The news about Gu Liye and Pei Yiyang’s marriage being exposed had caused a fire at home. Gu Liye had been busy extinguishing the fire for several days, and finally, things had calmed down a bit.

In the elevator, just as the doors were about to close, they opened again, revealing the figure of Gu Liye.

“Junior sister.”

“Senior brother.” She looked up and then lowered her eyelids. 𝐛𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹．𝐨𝐫𝗴

Gu Liye stood to the side, casting a glance at Lu Yang, who was peeking at her phone with her eyes squinted.

“Junior sister, the Fei family donated two large buildings to the hospital for the upcoming visit by the leaders. Did you know about this?”

Lu Yang showed him the webpage on her phone. “I just saw the news.”

The elevator came to a stop and slowly opened. Lu Yang lifted her eyelids, and before her were a group of people, with a dignified man in a suit at the center.

At the moment their gazes met, she felt a strong sense of oppression.

Jiang Xi’s image was no different from what she had seen on TV. His expression was solemn, and he exuded a heavy aura of majesty. His gaze calmly swept over Lu Yang, his expression composed and relaxed.

Jiang Yanzhou and him shared a resemblance of about seventy percent composed, confident, gentle, and aloof. They were like gods on a pedestal, exuding an aura of authority that made others tremble with fear.

However, Jiang Xi’s scheming ran much deeper than Jiang Yanzhou’s, and he was more rational.

Lu Yang and Gu Liye respectfully bowed their heads.

He Huaijing noticed them and his eyebrows twitched, a smile appearing on his

face. “Dr. Lu Yang from the Department of Neurosurgery and Dr. Gu Liye from the Department of Cardiac Surgery.”

Jiang Xi’s gaze swept over them, his voice low and calm. “Hmm.”

Lu Yang and Gu Liye stood to the side, watching as the first-class people escorted Jiang Xi upstairs.

Gu Liye turned his head and looked at Lu Yang, who seemed lost in thought.

On regular days, Junior Sister emitted an aura that made people feel her brilliance. She outshone even the most precious diamond, and even Jiang Xi’s gaze couldn’t dim her radiance.

However, he seemed to have noticed that Jiang Xi’s gaze lingered on Lu Yang for a bit too long, and there was a deep meaning in his eyes.

But quickly, Gu Liye dismissed such absurd thoughts.

How could the leader of Huai City and a doctor from Yonkers be acquainted? His phone rang with a ding, receiving a message from “My Wife..”
