Chapter 284: Chapter 284 She’s Still Waiting for Him to Return

"Sheng Siyuan!"

Yin Hehe was startled awake by a nightmare, and it was already light outside.

She suddenly sat up from the hospital bed, her head drenched in cold sweat as if she had been fished out of water.

"You’re awake?"

The nurse happened to be in the ward at that time. Seeing this, she walked over with concern.

Yin Hehe clutched at her chest, and it took her a long time to recover.

"Mhm, what time is it now?"

"It’s almost nine o’clock. Your husband instructed us to let you sleep in, so we didn’t disturb you."

There was a teasing tone in the nurse’s voice as she said this.

Upon hearing this, Yin Hehe finally remembered the events of the previous night, her cheeks turning red, and the panic deep within her completely soothed.

"I’m sorry for the trouble," she quickly climbed out of bed and said with her head down.

The nurse smiled.

"No problem, we’re all envious of you for having such a good husband. Gentle and wealthy, and he loves you so much."

The nurse’s face was full of envy.

Yin Hehe felt even more embarrassed.

However, when she went into the restroom, her heart was still very sweet.

That day, she was in an exceptionally good mood. After her treatment, despite feeling very tired, she still ate up all the food the nurse had brought her.

Dr. Qin saw it and praised her.

"That’s right, this is how you should be, Xiaoyin. If you keep this up, your time at the Drug Rehabilitation Center will be shortened even further."

"Mhm," Yin Hehe was extremely happy.

When it was time to sleep at night, she turned off the lights early, hugging the pillow that seemed to still carry the man’s scent, and soon drifted into sleep.

She indeed needed to take good care of her body.

Eat well, drink well, and rest well; that way, she could leave soon and help alleviate her man’s worries.

Three days later, it finally reached the weekend.

"Xiaoyin, your husband is coming over today, right? Then how about we skip your treatment this afternoon and give you two some time to go out?"

Dr. Qin was a very reasonable person, and seeing that the weekend had arrived, she came over to Yin Hehe with a beaming smile and said.

Yin Hehe was, of course, thrilled.

"Good, then... thank you, Dr. Qin." She expressed her thanks somewhat shyly.

Dr. Qin smiled and walked away.

That afternoon, after finishing her treatment and taking a short rest, Yin Hehe changed out of her hospital gown in her room.

She changed her clothes first so that when the man arrived, they wouldn’t have to waste time on that.

Yin Hehe sat in front of the small table, waiting.

But on that day, she waited from afternoon until dusk fell and still did not see the familiar figure come in.

Could he still be on a business trip?

Yin Hehe’s brows furrowed slightly.

As she looked at the darkening night outside, she couldn’t help it and took out her phone.

[Husband, have you finished work?]

She mustered the courage to send the message.

She was a very considerate person; if someone didn’t contact her first, she would never take the initiative to reach out, so as not to upset the other person.

Perhaps, this was also related to her strong-willed nature.

However, to her disappointment, she didn’t receive a reply for a long time after sending the message.

What’s going on?

At this hour, even if he was on a business trip, he should be resting by now.

Yin Hehe was a bit dissatisfied. Without hesitation, she picked up her phone and dialed out.

"Hello, is this the wife?"

Finally, the call was answered this time.

But it wasn’t the man; it was his secretary, Chen Xiaosen.

Yin Hehe was stunned for a moment before she finally asked, "Secretary Chen, how come you’re answering the phone? Where’s your CEO?"

"He, uh..." Chen Xiaosen was a bit hesitant on the phone.

"Madam, the CEO is... still busy. Otherwise, I’ll have him call you back later, okay?"

"...Okay."

Once Yin Hehe heard this, she didn’t ask anything else.

After hanging up, she placed her phone on the small table. Not having eaten yet, she picked up her chopsticks, ready to finish her meal before returning any calls.

And indeed, just as she had finished eating, the phone rang again.

"Hello, husband?" She joyfully picked up her phone, calling out the endearing term as soon as she began.

"...Hehe, it’s me."

To her great surprise, the voice coming through the phone still wasn’t that man’s.

Instead, it had turned into an old man’s voice.

Yin Hehe was momentarily stunned; upon realizing who it was, her face flushed with embarrassment.

"Dad, it’s... it’s you."

"Mhm," the old man nodded on the other end of the phone.

"It’s like this, that rascal has been inside and hasn’t come out. Chen Xiaosen said you called, so I’m calling you back."

The old man cleared his throat twice before continuing.

That busy?

Yin Hehe immediately asked, "What kind of business is he dealing with? Why is he still so busy after returning to the company?"

"Actually, there’s been a bit of trouble with a project," the old man sighed.

"It’s that highway construction contracted by the urban development company; remember it was halted for a while? There’s an issue with the concrete pouring, and they’re still negotiating."

The old man didn’t hide anything and explained in detail over the phone.

The urban development company took on official projects. It was normal to have stringent requirements. Moreover, last month, a complication had indeed occurred due to Jian Zhongzhou’s scheming.

Yin Hehe no longer doubted the situation.

"Well then, tell him to take his time and communicate with them calmly," she said.

As Yin Hehe hung up the phone, she considerately added that piece of advice.

Upon hearing this, the old man suddenly seemed to choke up a bit on the phone.

"Alright, by the way, how are you feeling? Any progress in your recovery recently? You should be coming out soon, right?"

"Soon," Yin Hehe immediately replied cheerfully.

"Dr. Qin came to see me today and said that at this rate, I should be able to return home by the end of the month."

"That’s wonderful!"

With that one sentence, the old man on the other end of the line seemed to relax all at once, exhaling a deep breath.

Yin Hehe could almost hear the "thump" of him falling into his chair from her side.

"Dad?"

"It’s okay, girl. Take good care of yourself. Once Ayuan is less busy, he’ll come see you," the old man reassured her after adjusting his breathing a few times.

Yin Hehe obediently nodded.

After hanging up the call, the gloominess in her heart dissipated, and she neatly tidied up before going to bed to rest.

It seemed that there were so many issues remaining at the company.

It appeared that she needed to get better quickly.

Yin Hehe fell asleep.

But what she didn’t know was that in Jiangbei, just after she hung up the phone, the old man who had collapsed into the chair was so stricken with grief that he didn’t even notice the phone falling to the ground.

"Old Master, you... You need to take care of your health. Right now, both the company and the family rely on you. If you were to fall as well..."

Chen Xiaosen, standing by his side with tears welling up in his eyes, was nearly choking up and couldn’t speak.

Yes, at this time, anyone could fall.

But the old master couldn’t.

Three days ago, nobody expected that a shocking piece of terrible news would arrive from Chongzhou. The man who was supposed to be there for business negotiations had died there!
