Mr. Bigshot Is Obsessed with His Hidden-Marriage Wife
Chapter 159: I Like You

Chapter 159: Chapter 159: I Like You

Liang Zheng was stunned, and the other two didn’t react either.

"Dr. Ye, Dr. Ye." Liang Zheng glanced at his fist and hurriedly straightened his fingers, rubbing them on his pant leg.

As if that would prove he hadn’t just thrown a punch.

He meant to hit Chai Chen, but he hadn’t expected Ye Yan to suddenly step in the way; he threw that punch with a lot of force, and Dr. Ye’s delicate little frame probably couldn’t take it.

In their circle, who didn’t know that Fu Xingzhou cherished Dr. Ye like a treasure in the palm of his hand?

He still vividly remembered the incident of Dr. Ye twisting her ankle.

At that time, Fu Xingzhou’s heart ached as if it were his own ankle that had broken.

During those days at the resort, he nearly carried her everywhere, treating her with such tenderness.

If Fu Xingzhou found out he had punched Dr. Ye, he would be as good as dead.

"Dr. Ye, are you alright? I am so sorry, really sorry, I didn’t mean to hit you," Liang Zheng apologized continuously while trying to check on Ye Yan’s condition.

"Who are you, are you sick?" Chai Chen held Ye Yan in his arms, finding the situation incredulous, "Assault with intent in a public place, I’m calling the police."

"Don’t, don’t call the police," Liang Zheng pleaded weakly.

He wasn’t afraid of Chai Chen calling the police, but he feared that making a big deal out of it would eventually reach Fu Xingzhou’s ears, and he might only be able to flee the country with his belongings to seek refuge overnight.

Even though they were now divorced, broken up, Dr. Ye’s status remained unshaken.

"How about this? I’ll pay," Liang Zheng took out a check and quickly wrote a string of numbers on it, "This is for medical expenses and emotional damages, do you think it’s enough?"

Chai Chen didn’t even spare it a glance: "Who cares about your money, it’s not going to end like this."

He saw how heavy that punch was, and moreover, Ye Yan had taken it for him; he would definitely not let it go so easily.

"Dr. Chai, I also work at Holy Land Hospital," the woman finally reacted, "Can we let this go, considering we are colleagues?"

Chai Chen had some recollection of her, but with Ye Yan having been hit, even if the hospital director came to plead, he wouldn’t consider forgiveness.

"Dr. Ye, I was impulsive just now. You are not the kind of fickle woman who goes from one man to another so seamlessly; it was a misunderstanding..."

"Can you leave now?" Ye Yan finally recovered, glaring at the still babbling Liang Zheng, "There’s a limit to how much you can push someone. Ao City is so big, there must be places you can’t just stroll through arrogantly. Go back and tell Fu Xingzhou, no matter the demons or monsters, he can send them all; I, Ye Yan, will certainly keep living well."

Liang Zheng had never seen Ye Yan with this expression or tone and was somewhat taken aback.

The doctor Ye, who always appeared calm and collected beside his second brother and rarely spoke, but when she did, she could make his brother heed her word, was never so hysterical.

Even a cornered rabbit will bite, and she was now a rabbit pushed to the edge.

Liang Zheng immediately took off.

"Is she Dr. Ye?" The woman next to him asked curiously, "The one from our hospital?"

She had only come to Holy Land last week, thanks to Liang Zheng’s connections. She had only seen photos of Ye Yan on the hospital’s official website, as she was last year’s outstanding employee. She remembered her because she was especially beautiful.

"Enough, talk less," Liang Zheng was completely annoyed.

He had intended to stand up for his friends, but he didn’t expect to cause such trouble.

Ye Yan knew he wouldn’t dare say a word of the message he was supposed to relay to Fu Xingzhou.

Once spoken, it would reveal what had happened today.

In his second brother’s eyes, nothing was worse than him having hit Ye Yan.

Sigh, he truly didn’t mean to.

After Liang Zheng left, Chai Chen hurriedly said, "Let’s go to the hospital."

"No need," Ye Yan insisted, enduring the pain and waving her hand, "It didn’t hit the bone, just a flesh wound."

"You should still get an x-ray to check it out," Chai Chen was not reassured.

She was so thin, and the punch had been extremely fierce.

"Don’t you trust me? I can judge for myself."

Seeing her insistence, Chai Chen didn’t persuade her further, "That punch was meant for me; I’m really useless."

"He wanted to hit you because of me; it’s me who’s dragged you into this." Ye Yan was all too clear about why Liang Zheng had thrown a punch.

Those people, used to jumping to conclusions, were all very self-centered.

Never mind that she and Chai Chen were just ordinary friends, even if they were lovers, what concern was it of his?

"You heard just now, I did indeed offend Fu Xingzhou," Ye Yan didn’t want to keep anything from Chai Chen, because she didn’t know what kind of frenzied state Fu Xingzhou was in at the moment.

First, he "banned" her from all the major hospitals, and then his good brothers were filled with righteous indignation, seeking to fight for him.

As if she had done something shameless and flirty, betraying Fu Xingzhou.

From the beginning to the end, the biggest wrongdoing she had done was liking him!

"Not only that, but Fu Xingzhou and I also had a marriage, which ended dishonorably, and might be a reason for his revenge."

Chai Chen had always known there was a story behind Ye Yan, but he hadn’t expected it to involve Fu Xingzhou.

That there had been a marriage, and the entanglement was so deep.

But thinking back carefully, when Mr. Fu was hospitalized in Holy Land, the two of them didn’t seem to have much interaction.

It turned out to be a secret marriage.

"No matter what you were like in the past, it’s over now," Chai Chen said, "I’m not afraid of anyone’s revenge, no matter what happens, I will choose to stand by your side. Being so intelligent, you must have noticed my little thoughts by now. Yes, from the day you became my colleague, I liked you, and over time, your excellence, your integrity, and your dedication to academic research all attracted me. It’s just that I’m very cowardly, and I didn’t dare to confess my feelings to you."

By now, Chai Chen had no need to hide anymore; he wanted to stand by Ye Yan’s side openly and honestly.

"I choose to speak out now, not to take advantage of someone in a vulnerable position, but to make you see my determination," Chai Chen confessed his feelings and took a deep breath of relief, "You don’t have to respond to me right away, I know you haven’t fully recovered yet. I just hope you can treat me as an ordinary friend, turning to me for help in difficult times, and choosing to share your joys with me at the first opportunity. If someday you suddenly feel that I am dependable, and you want to give us a try, I will always be waiting here for you, not moving an inch."

Chai Chen’s words were heartfelt.

Not made up on the fly but imprinted countless times and engraved in his mind.

Ye Yan admitted, at this moment, she was moved.

On her icy heart, it felt as if someone had wrapped a thick scarf, making her feel that the world wasn’t so indifferent after all; there was still someone who could offer her a bit of warmth.
