Chapter 306: Chapter 306: The Closer to the Truth, the Further from Him

"Because that patient...," Aunt Xue hesitated a bit, "he was actually quite handsome."

Mu Yunlie was taken aback, "Just because of that?"

Aunt Xue nodded.

She believed that was the reason.

Even she had misunderstood at first.

If it had been some brute or an ugly freak, Miss did not have to worry about the son-in-law misunderstanding and getting jealous.

Mu Yunlie was speechless.

Did she really think he, Mu Yunlie, was such an insecure person?

That he would get jealous just because a good-looking man appeared by her side?

He admitted that he was somewhat anxious about her, but that didn’t mean any man could make him feel jealous!

Mu Yunlie was very angry, his eyebrows furrowed as he asked, "Is he better looking than me?"

Aunt Xue was stunned, not expecting such a question from Mu Yunlie.

She shook her head repeatedly, "Of course, not! I have never seen a man more handsome than the son-in-law! Even the Miss and Old Madam have said the same thing!"

"Did Qianyi really say that?"

"Yes! Son-in-law, I am an honest person, I do not lie!"

Honest people do not deceive each other.

Although the son-in-law did not seem like a straightforward person.

"But you just tried to deceive me."

Aunt Xue hurriedly said, "I did not deceive you just now, I just promised the Miss not to tell you. Look, as soon as you asked, I told you everything."

Mu Yunlie pulled out a cigarette and lit it.

Aunt Xue looked around, the house did not have an ashtray, and she had never seen Mu Yunlie smoke at home before.

She quickly took a water cup, added some water, and placed it in front of Mu Yunlie.

"Son-in-law, please don’t be angry. The Miss really cares about how you feel, worries that you might be upset, and that’s why she didn’t want you to know."

Mu Yunlie took a deep drag on his cigarette, then slowly exhaled, still not speaking.

Aunt Xue continued, "The Miss is loyal by nature, she would never do anything to betray you! Besides, both I and the Old Madam are watching over her; even if she did have any second thoughts, the Old Madam and I would not approve!"

Mu Yunlie flicked the cigarette ash, "Go prepare dinner."

Seeing that the tension in Mu Yunlie’s brow had slightly relaxed, Aunt Xue nodded and turned to pick up the meat from the table.

Mu Yunlie suddenly said, "Let’s pretend I didn’t know about this, and you don’t need to tell her."

Aunt Xue turned to look at Mu Yunlie.

It seemed he believed her and wasn’t angry anymore.

She nodded vigorously, "Okay!"

Mu Yunlie turned to look out towards the garden from the window, lost in thought.

He had never really doubted that she would be involved with another man.

In this world, there was only one man who might make her betray him.

That was Yan Yao.

Yan Qianyi drove to the hospital.

Opening the trunk of the car, she gently patted Xia Ziyu’s shoulder, "Xiao Hei, wake up!"

Xia Ziyu did not move at all, as if he was dead.

Yan Qianyi slapped him a few more times, but he still did not respond.

She went back to the front of the car, took a small medicine bottle from inside the car.

Unscrewing the cap, she held the bottle under Xia Ziyu’s nose.

The cool scent poured into his nostrils, and Xia Ziyu suddenly opened his eyes.

"Divine Doctor! How can you treat me like this!"

Xia Ziyu was so agitated that he wanted to jump up, but his legs and feet were scrunched up in the cramped trunk, and he could not move.

Yan Qianyi grabbed his shoulders and yanked him out.

Unsteady on his feet, he clung to Yan Qianyi’s arms, his knees nearly hitting the ground.

"What are you doing!" Yan Qianyi tried to push him away.

But he clung tightly to her arms, hanging on her like a human-shaped accessory.

"My legs are numb; I can’t stand steadily."

Yan Qianyi steadied Xia Ziyu, letting him lean against the back of the car for a while until he felt a bit better.

He pounded his thighs, looking at her with resentful eyes, "Do you know there’s no one in the world who would dare to treat me like this?"

"Stop talking nonsense, can you walk now? Hurry up."

After speaking, Yan Qianyi took the lead towards the elevator.

Ah Lie was still waiting for her at home.

Xia Ziyu limped behind her, "It’s me helping you now, why does it seem like I’m the one asking for your help?"

This woman is really too heartless and fierce!

He was curious, does she also behave like this in front of her husband?

Entering the elevator, Yan Qianyi slightly grinned at Xia Ziyu, revealing a standard smile with eight teeth, "Alright, after this is done, I’ll give you a commission and offer you a free physical examination."

"Can the Masked Divine Doctor give me the examination?"

"You know about the Masked Divine Doctor?"

"Of course, how could I not know such a famous person?"

"No problem, after this is done, I’ll have her examine you."

"That’s a deal then, we agreed."

"Mhm, I will absolutely not go back on my word."

Yan Qianyi led Xia Ziyu to the hospital’s surveillance room.

After sending out the people from the surveillance room, she told Xia Ziyu, "I’ll leave this place to you for now, I’ll go find out about the situation back then."

She then found the person in charge of the surveillance room to understand the situation from that year.

More than two years had passed, and since Shu Meng’s death, many of the hospital staff had changed.

The people currently working in the surveillance room were not the same as those from back then, so they weren’t very familiar with the situation.

Yan Qianyi returned to the surveillance room and looked at Hei Zai, who was busy.

His personal system was connected to the data of the surveillance room, his light screen filled with dense coding.

A pair of fair and slender hands struck the virtual keyboard, moving so fast that they left afterimages.

Yan Qianyi didn’t disturb him, quietly sitting on a nearby workbench, her legs dangling in the air as she leisurely swung them.

Xia Ziyu looked at her, "Feeling uneasy?"

"Not at all."

"You clearly are. You’re pressing so hard on the bench, and your feet are swinging wildly because you’re trying to relax."

Hearing this, Yan Qianyi immediately stopped swinging her legs.

She hadn’t expected such a homebound guy to have such keen observation skills.

"Hurry up with your work and don’t mind me."

She was indeed feeling a bit nervous.

The closer she got to the truth, the farther away she seemed from Ah Lie.

After a while, Xia Ziyu packed up his light screen, "All set!"

Yan Qianyi quickly jumped onto the ground, "How did it go?"

"The surveillance was tampered with afterward. I can fix it, but it’ll take some time."

"How long will it take?"

"Tomorrow? The day after? Maybe even the day after that."

"..." Yan Qianyi glanced at him, "Let’s go, I’ll take you to the hotel now."

She didn’t want to rush him anymore.

Anyway, with his skills, as long as he said he could handle it, there should be no problem.

Xia Ziyu followed behind her, asking, "Really can’t I stay at your place?"

"No, my husband is there."

"I don’t mind."

"I mind."

Leaving the surveillance room, the two headed towards the parking garage, where someone hiding in a shadow snapped their photo.

The photo was sent to Mu Yunlie via Pei Yuexuan.

Pei Yuexuan: [Sir, you must see this! The man who went to the hospital with Madam is none other than Prince Ziyu!]
