Chapter 167: Chapter 167: She’s Everywhere

"Go ahead and start eating, I’m going to thank Boss Tang," Ye Yan stood up.

Chai Chen hurriedly said, "I’ll go with you."

"No need, I’ll be back after a few words."

After Ye Yan left, Xie Yang couldn’t resist teasing, "Dr. Chai, why do I feel like you treat Dr. Ye quite differently, huh?"

"I’ve noticed it too, Dr. Chai’s gaze hasn’t left Dr. Ye at all."

Chai Chen smiled awkwardly, without pretense, "I’m pursuing him, so please speak kindly of me in front of Ye Yan."

"So it really is like that." A buzz of excitement suddenly spread around the dinner table, "Dr. Chai is so outstanding, there’s no need for our kind words, it’s up to Dr. Ye to agree."

"Dr. Chai, go for it, we’re all rooting for you."

While Chai Chen accepted everyone’s blessings, he glanced toward the door.

Ye Yan arrived at the entrance to private room 8, where the server immediately opened the door for her, "Miss Ye, please come in."

From the server’s manner, it seemed like they knew she would come.

Private room 8 was Jiua’s most luxurious room, not only lavishly decorated and fully equipped with entertainment facilities, but also not usually open to the public.

Directly opposite the door was a spacious corridor with delicately arranged tables and chairs, and a screen behind, which probably separated the entertainment area.

Tang Jingyao was sitting at the dining table, and smiled as he waved at her, "Dr. Ye, long time no see."

Ye Yan looked around and saw that Tang Jingyao was the only one there.

"Don’t worry, it’s just me." Tang Jingyao pointed to a seat next to him, "Please, have a seat."

After Ye Yan sat down, Tang Jingyao tried to pour her a drink.

"Sorry, I don’t drink."

"I forgot, you can’t hold your liquor, after drinking too much, you like to find someone to chat with."

She realized that Tang Jingyao was teasing her, alluding to the time she dragged Meng Tian to go sing karaoke after getting drunk, and ended up wanting to look for a male model.

It was Tang Jingyao who came over and took her home that day.

That incident was indeed a bit embarrassing.

Ye Yan felt a little embarrassed, "Thank you for what happened that time."

"No need, I was fulfilling someone’s request," Tang Jingyao swapped her drink with juice.

Ye Yan knew who he was referring to but silently said nothing.

"Thanks for the lobster, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now."

"Why the rush, Dr. Ye? We haven’t seen each other for a while, why not have a chat?" Tang Jingyao pushed the juice towards her and poured himself half a glass of wine, "I heard from Meng Tian that Dr. Ye has returned to work in Holy Land."

"Uh-huh." She looked at Tang Jingyao somewhat surprised.

"Strange, how would Meng Tian discuss these matters with me?" Tang Jingyao smiled, "Actually, I’m not as heartless and ruthless as she says."

Ye Yan: Heh.

He can’t possibly believe that himself.

If he had even a trace of magnanimity, he wouldn’t use such despicable means to keep Meng Tian by his side.

Such a smiling tiger was truly a shameless villain.

"Are you cursing at me in your head?" Tang Jingyao chuckled softly, lifting his glass, "In this regard, Dr. Ye is not like Meng Tian; she insults me to my face."

Ye Yan: ...

Is this something to be proud of?

"I’m drinking, you do as you please."

Tang Jingyao downed half a glass of red wine in one gulp, then shook the empty glass in front of her.

Out of courtesy, Ye Yan also took a sip of the juice.

The combination of guava and passion fruit was her favorite juice flavor.

Here, it was made neither too sweet nor cloying, retaining a refreshing taste with the original fruit aroma.

She couldn’t help but drink a little more.

She wondered if it was a coincidence, or if Tang Jingyao knew this—on the table was guava and passion fruit.

"If it tastes good, I’ll have someone send some to your private room."

"No need," Ye Yan hastily set down her cup, "Thank you, Mr. Tang, I’ll be going back now."

She always felt that Tang Jingyao’s invitation to chat had ulterior motives, but seeing his courteous demeanor, he didn’t seem like he was plotting against her.

Before she could figure out what Tang Jingyao was thinking, Ye Yan, who had just stood up, suddenly felt a wave of dizziness and then fell forward.

Just as Tang Jingyao was about to reach out, someone was a step quicker than him.

He silently withdrew his hand, standing aside to watch the excitement.

"Are you crazy?" Fu Xingzhou cradled Ye Yan in his arms, "Did you drug her?"

"Don’t worry, just a little, and when she wakes up, just tell her it’s low blood sugar."

"You think she’s that easy to fool?" Fu Xingzhou, speechless, bent down to pick up Ye Yan.

Behind the screen, there was a long sofa. He placed her on the sofa and quickly took off his jacket to cover her.

"You’re sure this drug is harmless?" Fu Xingzhou turned around, his gaze like two knives, almost stabbing into Tang Jingyao’s flesh.

Tang Jingyao hurriedly raised his hands: "It’s harmless to the body, and the dosage is very small. If she weren’t fainting, would I let you watch like this?"

Fu Xingzhou turned his gaze, falling upon the fair and delicate face in front of him.

Having not seen her for some days, she seemed different somehow, yet upon closer inspection, she was still the same as before. If there had to be a difference, it was that she was more beautiful.

He couldn’t help but bend a finger forward, gently stroking her face.

As smooth and soft as cream, just like that of a young girl.

He was a bit greedy for such a sensation, yet he was also careful, not wanting to wake her.

His gaze remained intent, persistent, unable to part from her for even a second.

Tang Jingyao said, it’s only when you directly confront your own heart can you clearly see what you’re thinking.

Now, his eyes were filled with her, his heart was filled with her.

He regretted why he had let go in the first place.

If she wanted to run, he would find a more secure way, like putting her on an isolated island with just the two of them.

Morning and evening, just him and her.

But thinking of the image of her being attacked by a herd of wild boars, thinking of the way she was bleeding profusely, his heart softened again, turning into water with no desire or demand.

Such close contact was already too much to ask for.

"The drug I used isn’t much, she could wake up at any moment," Tang Jingyao reminded from the side, "It’s up to you whether you want her to see you when she wakes up, or not see you at all."

Like a dreamer awakened by a sudden realization, Fu Xingzhou’s hand swiftly retracted.

His gaze landed on her face, sticking there, reluctant to leave, full of deep affection.

Until the person on the sofa, her long eyelashes suddenly twitched.

Ye Yan slowly opened her eyes, dazzled by the huge crystal chandelier above her, she subconsciously raised her hand to shield her eyes.

"Dr. Ye has woken up."

Tang Jingyao sat in a chair on the side drinking, "You scared me to death, I almost called an ambulance."

"What happened to me?" Ye Yan sat up, her head still feeling a little dizzy.

"Do you have low blood sugar?"

Ye Yan didn’t have low blood sugar before, but now she was pregnant, and pregnancy could affect bodily functions.

Plus, she had only drank some juice just now and hadn’t eaten anything.

Tang Jingyao’s analysis seemed reasonable.

"Here, take this." Tang Jingyao took out a beautifully wrapped piece of sugar from his pocket and handed it to Ye Yan.

Ye Yan was somewhat surprised: "You carry sugar with you?"

"I have low blood sugar. The symptoms are similar to what you just experienced. Meng Tian bought it for me."

It might have been a misconception, but Ye Yan always felt there was a hint of show-off in his statement, "Meng Tian bought it for me."

Thump, thump!

There was a knock on the door outside.
