Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Check on the person surnamed Chai

The waiter pushed open the door and respectfully said, "Mr. Tang, Mr. Chai is looking for Miss Ye."

Chai Chen’s figure appeared at the doorway, anxiously peering inside.

After saying goodbye to Tang Jingyao, Ye Yan and Chai Chen returned to the private room.

"Everything okay?" Chai Chen looked around and, finding nothing amiss, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the Chai Family had some background, it couldn’t compare to the power and privilege of the Tang Family.

People of high status were often unpredictable; Chai Chen’s worries were not unfounded.

"It’s fine, he’s my friend’s husband; I know him." Ye Yan’s head was no longer dizzy, and she felt clear-headed: "How long was I inside?"

"Not long, eleven minutes."

Chai Chen kept checking his watch, remembering the time very clearly.

Once ten minutes had passed, he couldn’t sit still, fearing that Ye Yan might encounter some trouble.

Eleven minutes?

If Tang Jingyao had any ulterior motives, this time would have been too short.

It seemed that it was just her low blood sugar acting up.

For the baby’s health, she definitely needed to get checked at the hospital once she returned.

After Ye Yan left, Fu Xingzhou stepped out.

In such a large private room with limited visibility, as long as he wanted to hide, Ye Yan wouldn’t see him.

"That Mr. Chai, he seems quite close to Dr. Ye; he came looking so worried in just a moment," Tang Jingyao said, swirling his wine glass with a look of relish.

Fu Xingzhou’s expression was somber as he stared blankly at his own fingers.

The place where he had brushed against her still held a lingering warmth, a sensation that haunted his dreams.

He thought he would never have the chance to experience it again in his lifetime, but as it turned out, he was lucky.

Yet these few short minutes were stolen.

It felt like he had a brief dream, and when the dream ended, she had vanished from his world.

"Have your people check on that Mr. Chai," Fu Xingzhou said as he picked up a cup of guava passion fruit juice from the table, with half of it still left untouched.

He gently sipped from the spot she had drunk from earlier.

The juice was sweet, but he preferred wine.

Only she, like a little girl, would always order a glass with each meal and happily nurse it.

When she drank juice, she looked particularly like a little squirrel.

Sometimes, she would pass her used straw to his lips, asking him to taste.

He wouldn’t use her straw; he would taste her lips directly—soft and tender, sweeter than any juice.

Fu Xingzhou sank into a sort of self-reflection, unable to suppress a smile on his lips.

It was a smile that formed from genuine joy, saturating even the depths of his eyes.

Seeing him like this, Tang Jingyao couldn’t help but sigh internally.

Even the omnipotent Gambling King had things he desired but could not obtain.

Of course, while Tang Jingyao mocked others, he never imagined that one day he would find himself in the same situation.

"That Mr. Chai seems quite righteous; Dr. Ye has good taste," he knew just how to stoke the fire and strike where it hurts.

Fu Xingzhou took another sip of the juice, "Some appear righteous on the surface, but are rotten to the core."

"Why do I feel like you’re trampling on me?" Tang Jingyao was unreceptive.

"I am including myself as well," Fu Xingzhou said with a self-deprecating laugh, "selfish and self-serving, ultimately harming others and myself."

"Just curse yourself; leave me out of it."

Fu Xingzhou gave him a cool glance: "Don’t rush, today me, tomorrow you."

"Dr. Chai, you lost."

In the private room, everyone started playing the tower of hands game.

Everyone had a playing card stuck to their forehead and had to guess which card they were based on what the others at the table described.

In descending order, they stacked their hands, and the one who stacked in the wrong order was out.

Chai Chen was a bit annoyed, but he accepted the loss willingly.

The person with the highest card was Xie Yang, and it was up to him to decide the punishment.

"Dr. Chai, you need to answer three questions for me. First, is the person you like at this table?"

Chai Chen said, "Yes."

Everyone’s gaze naturally fell on Ye Yan.

"Second question, does the person you like, like you back?"

Chai Chen hesitated for a moment, then smiled, "Not at the moment."

Ye Yan subconsciously looked at him, and as their eyes met, Chai Chen was incredibly sincere, "But I believe time will tell."

Their gaze at each other kind of thrilled everyone present.

"The final question, if she and your mother both fell into water, who would you save?"

As soon as this question was asked, the table burst into laughter.

Jokes shouldn’t be taken too far, and it was clear that Xie Yang was doing it on purpose.

Even though Chai Chen had made his feelings for Ye Yan clear, Ye Yan hadn’t accepted him yet.

In such a situation, to avoid awkwardness, certainly not to ask something too outrageous.

A little joke to lighten the mood, and the topic was quickly passed over.

Chai Chen laughed, "I’m such a good swimmer; I would definitely save both."

The game continued without dwelling on Chai Chen’s answer.

The next day, Ye Yan went to check her blood sugar, and indeed, she was showing symptoms of hypoglycemia.

The colleague in the lab department handed her the report, expressing concern, "Dr. Ye, have you been working too hard lately?"

"That’s likely." Ye Yan smiled, thanked her colleague, and left with the report.

During pregnancy, there could be some sudden medical conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes; with careful management and treatment, recovery would gradually happen.

"Dr. Ye, a new patient arrived in v5; Doctor Fan is on leave for a few days, so the director assigned the patient to you," Xiao Xiao found Ye Yan outside the lab.

"Okay, I will go and check."

Ye Yan entered the v5 ward.

The patient’s check-up had already been done upon admission, and she was mainly responsible for overseeing the patient’s treatment during the hospital stay.

Upon entering, the first room was the living room, where a man in a black suit was sitting.

He appeared to be in his thirties, tall, with meticulously combed hair.

"Are you a family member of the patient?" Ye Yan took out her notebook as usual and asked.

The man looked up, his glance sharp as nails, scrutinizing Ye Yan from head to toe.

Ye Yan didn’t like his gaze; it felt like he was evaluating a product, full of scrutiny and disrespect.

However, she was used to dealing with all sorts of patients and family members, and the discomfort didn’t last long, as her professional composure overcame the slight prejudice.

"I am." The man spoke, his voice pleasant, but with a sinister undertone, "Dr. Ye?"

"Hello, I am the attending physician for the patient in bed v5, my name is Ye Yan." Ye Yan pointed to her name badge, "I need to understand the patient’s condition now."

"Go ahead."

The man continued to play with his phone, no longer speaking as if indifferent to the patient inside.

As Ye Yan walked into the ward and saw the patient, even though she was experienced, she couldn’t help but look shocked.
