Ye Qingcheng was restless at home, his heart unable to settle, constantly feeling as if something was about to happen.
Ye Qianyi, watching Ye Qingcheng pace back and forth before her, directly slapped him. "What are you doing walking around in front of me? You're an eyesore."
"Sis, I..."
Upon hearing Ye Qingcheng call her "Sis," Ye Qianyi was so startled that she recoiled, looking at him with terror. "Hey, An Nuan isn't here right now, so there's no need for that 'Sis.' I'm afraid it will shorten my life."
Seeing his sister's unusually lively demeanor, Ye Qingcheng was utterly exasperated.
"Sis, I need to talk to you about something serious." Ye Qingcheng said with utmost seriousness.
Only then did Ye Qianyi compose herself, looking at Ye Qingcheng as if to say, "Go ahead, I'm listening."
"Sis, I've been feeling uneasy, as if something is going to happen to An Nuan. Do you think I'm overthinking it?"
Ye Qianyi immediately jumped up from the sofa and smacked him on the back of the head, scolding, "You should have said something sooner! Why are you only saying it now?"
"I just..."
"You're just what?" Ye Qianyi said as she walked, "You're just talking nonsense. You should know that this kind of feeling is usually very accurate."
"I'm afraid... what if I'm just imagining things?" Ye Qingcheng's voice was filled with innocence and helplessness.
Ye Qianyi said fiercely, "Even if you're imagining things, we still have to go and check. If An Nuan is fine, then there's nothing to worry about."
"What, is it that tiring to make a trip?"
"Hmph, An Nuan must have been blind to be pursued by you."
"If you weren't my brother, I would definitely tell An Nuan that she should never choose a man like you."
Ye Qianyi sighed helplessly, lamenting, "But this big fool is my brother, so I can only go against my conscience and help my own brother."
"However, being good to An Nuan is the most important thing she should do."
Ye Qingcheng went to An Nuan's house as if he knew the way well.
Ye Qianyi: "..."
"You've been here before?"
"Yes."
Ye Qianyi looked at Ye Qingcheng and said with heartache, "It's over. My prize cabbage has finally been snatched away by a pig."
Ye Qingcheng: "..."
"An Nuan, don't worry, if my brother does anything to hurt you, I'll be the first one to break his legs." Ye Qianyi said with utter sincerity.
Ye Qingcheng looked at his sister, who was acting like a drama queen, and suddenly felt like he didn't want to admit that this person was his sister.
Ye Qianyi waved her hand again, nearly hitting the back of his head, but he perfectly dodged it.
Ye Qingcheng said with a smile, "Heh heh, I've been through it once before, I won't be foolish enough to go through it a second time."
Ye Qianyi rolled her eyes at her brother and said coldly, "Aren't you going in? Didn't you say you were worried? You don't look worried at all like this."
Ye Qingcheng rolled his eyes at his sister and looked at her coldly.
He knocked on the door, but there was no response, and after a long time, still none.
Ye Qingcheng's expression changed, and the playful demeanor was gone, replaced by a serious one.
Ye Qianyi's nerves tightened, and only one thought echoed in her mind: Something bad really happened, didn't it?
After a moment's thought, she quickly said, "Kick the door open! Something must have happened."
When Ye Qingcheng kicked the door open, he saw An Nuan in the bathtub, and most importantly, her wrists were cut, and she was still bleeding.
The water continued to run, and blood flowed out with it, staining everything.
Without hesitation, Ye Qingcheng immediately picked up An Nuan and rushed her to the hospital.
He refused to believe that An Nuan would want to end her life, because she was not the type to do foolish things.
Outside the emergency room, Ye Qianyi looked at Ye Qingcheng and said, "It must be Xu Ruowei! It must be Xu Ruowei who did this."
Ye Qingcheng nodded, supporting his chin. It was obvious who was behind this.
He knew that Xu Ruowei had always targeted An Nuan and harmed her. But An Nuan never pursued the matter, and he didn't want to make An Nuan feel troubled, so he hadn't delved into it.
But this time, she had gone too far. He would absolutely not let Xu Ruowei get away with this.
He said softly, "Xu Ruowei, you've gone too far this time. I won't let you off."
Time ticked by, and An Nuan finally passed the critical period.
She still hadn't woken up, but for Ye Qingcheng, this was already a great relief. At least An Nuan was safe. With proper care, she would eventually wake up.
A week later.
An Nuan finally woke up.
The pungent smell of disinfectant, the familiar white walls. .oγg
An Nuan thought she was going to die, but when she moved her hand, it hurt. As she moved, Madam Ye, holding her other hand, said with concern, "Don't move. Tell me what you want, and I'll get it for you."
"Yes, Nuannuan, tell us what you want, and we'll get it for you."
"Do you know? When I saw you lying in the bathtub, in a pool of blood, with no reaction, I was truly terrified."
"Fortunately, we arrived in time, and you're alright."
"You... you... to me..."
An Nuan's lips were extremely dry and cracked.
She spoke with great difficulty. Ye Qingcheng, having just finished his rounds, came to see An Nuan.
Ye Qingcheng took some water and a cotton swab, his voice carrying a hint of authority. "Alright, stop talking. You've just woken up, and you shouldn't be talking."
"Your most important task now is to rest, do you understand?"
When Ye Qianyi and Madam Ye wanted to say something more, they were silenced by Ye Qingcheng's words and left, reluctant to go but having no choice.
A week passed, and An Nuan's body had recovered considerably.
She was able to be discharged from the hospital.
An Nuan had initially said they didn't need to come, but they insisted. In the end, she couldn't stop them. Since Ye Qingcheng and the others were coming, she couldn't refuse.
So it was settled.
With Ye Qingcheng there, An Nuan's discharge procedures were handled quickly. Madam Ye suggested An Nuan stay at the Ye family's home, but An Nuan refused. Ultimately, An Nuan returned to her own place.
However, the Ye family visited almost every day.
Word of this reached Xu Ruowei, and she was furious.
Why should An Nuan live? But the Ye family had appeared and saved her.
Why was her life so fortunate?
No, it shouldn't be like this. She should have died.
But now there was nothing she could do. An Nuan had been saved by the Ye family. Yet, she was still jealous of An Nuan. An Nuan's life was too good, so good that she was going mad with envy.
Why didn't she have such good luck? Why didn't she have such a good life?
She was unwilling. She would do something to ruin An Nuan's reputation.
