Mr. Bigshot Is Obsessed with His Hidden-Marriage Wife
Chapter 138: For Myself

Chapter 138: Chapter 138: For Myself

Dr. Chai, clad in a crisp white coat, greeted her with a smile, "Dr. Ye, long time no see."

"When did you get back?"

"The project is already finished." Chai Chen carefully observed her complexion, "There’s still work over here."

She had lost quite a bit of weight since they last met.

The sparkle in her eyes also seemed to have dimmed significantly.

They’d hardly exchanged a few words before Director Bi’s voice sounded, "Xiao Ye, do you need me for something?"

Ye Yan bid farewell to Chai Chen and entered the room, closing the door behind her.

During her time at the job, except for taking leave, she had never asked Director Bi for anything, nor had she ever taken advantage of her mentor-mentee relationship with him to get any special favors.

Despite finding it somewhat difficult to broach the subject, thinking of Ye Zhun, she still decided to boldly make the request.

After Ye Yan finished speaking, Director Bi suddenly chuckled, "How much courage did you have to muster to ask me for this?"

He knew his disciple was always shy and upright, never one to abuse her position for personal gain.

Ye Yan’s face turned red, "Stop making fun of me, Teacher."

Director Bi gestured for her to sit across from him.

"Your brother doesn’t need to be transferred to the VIP ward."

Ye Yan became anxious subconsciously, "Is it because the procedures are too difficult to handle?"

The hospital’s VIP ward catered to the city’s elite; if it were too easy to get into, it wouldn’t reflect the privilege and status of the wealthy.

Director Bi shook his head, "You want to transfer your brother to the VIP ward because Director Liang suddenly went abroad, and you’re uneasy about leaving your brother in someone else’s care."

"Perhaps I’m being too narrow-minded." Ye Yan also felt quite embarrassed; in fact, the deputy director hadn’t done anything wrong, but she had anticipated the worst outcome.

Her overwhelming concern for Ye Zhun was making her panic.

"It’s not just you; I don’t trust her either," Director Bi admitted his true feelings to his disciple, "If Director Liang were here, that would naturally be the best."

"If it really won’t work, I can transfer Ye Zhun to another hospital."

She wanted him to stay here mainly because it was closer to her, allowing her to take care of him when she had the time.

"No need," Director Bi laughed, "Now there’s an even more suitable person to take over Ye Zhun’s ward."

"A more suitable person?" Ye Yan filtered through the potential candidates in her mind.

"It’s a coincidence, you just brushed past him."

Ye Yan suddenly realized; Director Bi was referring to Chai Chen.

Chai Chen was the VIP ward’s kidney specialist and a disciple of Professor Geng. Over the years, he had gradually built a reputation in the circle. Besides Director Liang, no one was more suitable than he was.

But obviously, doctors from the VIP and general wards couldn’t share duties.

If he wanted to move to the general ward, he would have to give up his VIP status, a privilege for which the hospital’s medical staff would fight tooth and nail.

"Xiao Chai said he volunteered to leave the VIP ward for the general ward," Director Bi, though focused on academia, wasn’t oblivious; he had always known that Chai Chen was secretly in love with Ye Yan.

But he had hidden this love deep in his heart, and probably no one in the entire VIP ward knew except him.

Chai Chen was excellent in every way, with a good family background, unquestionable character, and medical skills that surpassed his peers.

It was just unfortunate that Ye Yan was married, and his love would end up as a fervent flame that would eventually leave nothing but ashes.

However, since this was his choice, he would certainly respect it.

Ye Yan never imagined that Chai Chen, at the peak of his career, would actually transfer from the VIP to the general ward.

"Dr. Chai." Ye Yan found Chai Chen in his office, "Are you going to the general ward... because of my brother?"

Even if it meant being overly sentimental, Ye Yan had to get to the bottom of this matter.

She was never a selfish person, nor could she stand by and watch Chai Chen gamble with his future for her sake.

"Sort of," Chai Chen smiled.

"Ye Zhun could have gone to another hospital..."

Chai Chen cut off Ye Yan’s attempt to explain, "I did go to the general ward, indeed for your brother, but even more so for myself."

Ye Yan was stunned.

"You also know that Ye Zhun’s surgery was performed by Professor Geng, and the professor is very interested in Ye Zhun’s special constitution. So, as his student, I will definitely continue to complete the task my teacher didn’t finish, to ensure Ye Zhun is healthy when discharged."

"But..."

"I really don’t care that much about the position in the VIP ward, and if I want it, I can earn it next year on my own merit."

Chai Chen’s words were indeed no lie.

He had not participated in the employee of the year event, didn’t actively pursue honors, and viewed career advancement opportunities with more indifference than anyone else.

Ye Yan was somewhat skeptical.

But since the other party had already expressed themselves that way, if she still thought they were doing it for her, she would truly be flattering herself.

No matter what Chai Chen’s intentions were, Ye Yan thanked him repeatedly.

The stone weighing on her heart finally seemed to quietly fall to the ground.

She trusted Chai Chen and believed that Ye Zhun would soon recover and be discharged.

Chai Chen watched Ye Yan’s retreating figure, a gentle smile creeping over his lips.

More than anything in the VIP ward, what he really wanted was the chance to keep in touch with her.

And Ye Zhun’s hospitalization was the perfect opportunity.

What he had given up was just a minor position in the VIP ward, but what he might have gained was quite possibly the fruition of many years of unspoken affection.

Ye Zhun continued treatment in the hospital after his admission, and his young body was already as healthy as that of a normal person.

But to ensure stability, Ye Yan still insisted on him staying a few more days.

She had brought meals from the cafeteria over, and Ye Zhun was chatting with Chai Chen.

The door was half-closed, and the cheerful laughter of the two filtered through.

In just over a week, the two of them had become so familiar with each other.

As Ye Yan pushed the door open, Chai Chen returned to a serious demeanor, "I’ll take care of Xiao Zhun’s meals, why would you bring them all the way here yourself?"

"It’s not far, just through a few buildings," Ye Yan said as she set down the meals.

Apart from Ye Zhun’s, she also brought a portion for Chai Chen.

The two of them had become even more familiar with each other because of Ye Zhun than when they were colleagues.

As colleagues, the most they discussed was work, but now with Ye Zhun as a bridge, Chai Chen even knew many things about Ye Yan’s childhood.

"I hear you also have a nickname called Jumping Candy?" Chai Chen teased.

Ye Yan laughed and glared at Ye Zhun, "Don’t talk nonsense to Dr. Chai."

"Brother Chen and I get along well, he wouldn’t think it’s nonsense," Ye Zhun winked at Chai Chen and his gaze lingered on the two for a while.

He didn’t know who his potential brother-in-law might be, but whoever it was had not shown his face throughout his long hospital stay.

There must be something fishy going on.

It wasn’t that he lacked concern for his sister, it was possible they had already broken off their relationship.

But Ye Zhun wasn’t worried at all, he had Brother Heng on his left and Dr. Chai on his right, either of them a top-quality man, both good matches for his sister.

If he really had to choose between them, he would find it quite difficult.

"Once Xiao Zhun is discharged, I’ll thank you properly," Ye Yan felt that words couldn’t even express half of her gratitude for Chai Chen.
