"Oh," Qin Si Ye took the cup of water and drank several large gulps, "Gulp, gulp."
Seeing that he was in a calm mood, Yin Xi summoned her courage and said, "Si Ye, I want to discuss something with you. Jin Jing Chen is in room 3. I want to go see him."
Upon hearing this, Qin Si Ye's eyes instantly darkened. "Did you forget what you promised me again?"
"No. I've never forgotten, which is why I'm bringing it up for discussion with you." Yin Xi looked at him frankly. "Jin Jing Chen is severely injured and might have to lie in bed for several months before he can get up."
"No. You can't go see him." Qin Si Ye immediately stopped her sternly. "I haven't settled the score with him yet. If he hadn't called you today, why would you have been kidnapped for no reason?"
"Si Ye, this whole thing is very complicated. It should be said that from the moment I accepted the job to treat Old Master Jin, I was already caught in their family's disputes." Yin Xi paused and continued, "What happened today, Jin Zhan Hao was not targeting Jin Jing Chen alone. I should be one of his targets as well. When I was kidnapped, the situation was urgent. If Jin Jing Chen hadn't helped me, he wouldn't have been so seriously injured."
Qin Si Ye looked at her intently. "What do you mean by that? Did you help him, or did he help you?"
His voice trembled slightly. Yin Xi had no choice but to briefly recount the details of the kidnapping scene that morning. "If Jin Jing Chen hadn't thrown himself to attract Jin Zhan Hao's attention at that time, I don't know..." Her eyes reddened slightly. She looked at the man before her, her words trailing off. She saw a fierce glint of ruthlessness instantly rise in his deep eyes. He clenched his fists tightly, his veins seemingly about to burst. After a long while, he adjusted his emotions, took Yin Xi's hand, and gazed at her with concern.
"Si Ye, this matter is really complicated. Whether I helped him or he helped me, the final result is that he's lying in bed. Both morally and logically, I should go and see him. Don't you think so?" Yin Xi seized the opportunity and said quickly.
Qin Si Ye met her gaze for a few more seconds before releasing her hand. "Alright. Twenty minutes."
"Thank you! Si Ye, you're so good." Yin Xi's eyes were filled with gratitude. She quickly placed a kiss on his sexy thin lips. "Don't worry, I'll make our relationship clear to him when I go over."
Watching Yin Xi leave the room, Qin Si Ye's pupils contracted. He immediately picked up his phone and called Zhao Ze.
In Jin Jing Chen's hospital room, Yin Xi knocked and entered. Both men inside were startled. "Tang Ran, please step out for a moment. I have something I want to say to Jin Jing Chen in private," Yin Xi said to Tang Ran after glancing at the man on the hospital bed.
"Okay." Tang Ran quickly exited the room. Yin Xi pulled a chair over and sat a considerable distance away, asking in a low voice, "How are you feeling?"
"I'm alright. I should be able to recover after some time." Jin Jing Chen's face was pale, and he curved his lips to the sides. But Yin Xi knew he was feigning nonchalance.
"I've spoken to Tang Ran, and I've asked her to take care of you during this time." Yin Xi also offered him a smile.
"Okay, she's very meticulous. As before, I'll pay her salary if I borrow her," Jin Jing Chen said, looking at her with a calm gaze.
"No. This is different from taking care of your father. This time, you were injured saving me. Tang Ran is my employee, so I should be the one paying her salary." Yin Xi's face showed a hint of guilt.
Jin Jing Chen, however, said, "Then what were you kidnapped for? Yin Xi, don't argue with me, and don't overthink it. We can consider this matter settled."
Yin Xi lowered her head and replied after a few seconds, "Okay."
"Tang Ran mentioned that you're also taking care of a patient here. Is it President Qin? Was he injured too?" Jin Jing Chen asked.
"Yes. But his injury wasn't caused this morning. It happened elsewhere, but his wound reopened during a fight," Yin Xi replied.
Jin Jing Chen frowned. "I'm truly sorry. I didn't expect the Jin family's affairs to drag both of you in. What I never expected was that President Qin is actually your boyfriend."
Yin Xi pursed her lips, and after a few seconds, said, "Jin Jing Chen, the matter between Qin Si Ye and me is complicated. It hasn't been publicly announced yet, so I haven't mentioned it to you. However, today, I intend to tell you everything."
