“You…” Li Yi’s temper immediately flared. However, he had just taken a step forward when his hand was grabbed.
Following the direction, he saw Li San come to his side. At this moment, Li San was holding his hand and even gestured for him to look in the direction of his master.
All of a sudden, Li Yi’s anger was doused, and after seeing Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes, he felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar.
How could he forget? His master was still watching from the side. Most importantly, his master was biased toward Ye Leng’an. If he reprimanded Ye Leng’an, wasn’t it obvious that he was going against his master?
Previously, Huangfu Ruiling already asked him to go back, which meant that he was no longer put in an important position. It was not easy for him to finally come back, and he was even given the task of taking care of Miss Yiran. If he did it well, perhaps his master would remember his good deeds. However, he had a terrible urge and almost forgot the lesson from before.
The most important reason why he was sent back and replaced by Li San was that he targeted, or to be more precise, questioned, Ye Leng’an. Now, he made the same mistake again.
Huangfu Ruiling glanced at Zhongyu Yiran and said, “Get some good rest!”
Then, he turned his head and looked at Ye Lengan. “Since you’re done with the examination, we should be leaving!’
“Alright.” Ye Lengan nodded and stepped forward to replace Li San. She pushed Huangfu Ruiling out of the room.
Li San did not stay any longer and quickly followed them out.
For a moment, there were only Li Yi and Zhongyu Yiran in the room.
Li Yi was still immersed in his own thoughts, so he did not say anything.
“Li Yi…” Zhongyu Yiran’s pleasant voice sounded. Her tone was no longer as gentle as before with a hint of dispiritedness in it. She even sounded tearful.
“Brother Huangfu won’t come again, will he?”
That familiar voice dragged Li Yi out of his thoughts. After he came back to his senses, he saw Zhongyu Yiran sitting on the bed with her arms crossed. She looked very dejected as if she had lost all hope.
“Miss Yiran, you…” Li Yi hesitated for a moment and said, “Don’t think too much. Master will definitely come over when he has time.”
At this moment, he had long put his thoughts out of his head. All he could see was Zhongyu Yiran’s sad look. Therefore, even though he knew very well that there was a high chance that his master would not come, he still chose to lie.
“You don’t need to comfort me.” Zhongyu Yiran raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears. “I know, Bother Huangfu no longer takes me into account, right?”
In the past, she still felt that she was special to Huangfu Ruiling. However, after she woke up this time, she saw Huangfu Ruiling’s attitude towards Ye Leng’an. She knew that everything that she saw and thought before was just her wishful thinking.
“Miss Yiran, don’t say that!” Li Yi quickly said, “Master must be concerned about you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone around looking for doctors to treat you!’
“Li Yi, Miss Ye is special to Brother Huangfu, isn’t she?” Zhongyu Yiran asked,
“You all Imow it, right?”
“Miss Yiran, why do you think so?” Li Yi was shocked and quickly said, ‘You’re thinking too much. You are the reason why Master got to know Miss Ye. There is no special relationship between them.”
Even though that wasn’t the case, he couldn’t tell her the truth. Miss Yiran looked very sad. He definitely couldn’t continue to jar on her.
“You don’t have to comfort me with a lie.” Zhongyu Yiran shook her head and smiled bitterly. “I knocked over the cup on purpose.”
At this point, she looked at the wound on the back of her hand, tears running down her face. “I just wanted to feel him out, but it turns out that…”
When she woke up in the nursing home and saw Huangfu Ruiling and Ye
Leng’an getting along, she had a very uneasy feeling in her heart. Today seeing the two of them come here together again, she felt even more uncomfortable.
She couldn’t help it when they were about to leave together again, so she came up with a way to feel him out. However, she wished she had never done that. She was the one who was injured just now, but the first person Huangfu Ruiling showed concern for was Ye Leng i an who was safe and sound. In the end, Huangfu Ruiling didn’t even look at her.
From this incident, she could see how special Huangfu Ruiling was to Ye
Leng’an and on the contrary how indifferent he was to her.
When she woke up, three years had passed. Everything had changed. Such a change was unbearable for her.
“Miss Yiran, how could you hurt yourself like this?” Li Yi’s heart ached for her. “You are still very weak and need a long time to recuperate. You should try your best to avoid getting injured.”
With that, Li Yi was about to find the ointment for scalds for Zhongyu Yiran. Soon, Li Yi came back with the ointment and applied it to Zhongyu Yiran’s hand.
“Miss Yiran, don’t think too much.” Li Yi comforted her. “The most important thing for you now is to nurse your body. Didn’t Miss Ye say it just now? You worry too much, which is very detrimental to your body. Anyway, your health is your most precious asset. You also want to enjoy a long life, don’t you?
“I know.” Zhongyu Yiran forced a smile. “I won’t think about these things anymore. The most important thing for me now is to take care of my body. Nothing else is important. Since Brother Huangfu doesn’t want to come and see me, I’ll go and see him after I recover.”
“It’s great that you think that way.” Li Yi was very happy. “Miss Yiran, when you’re better, you can go and see Madam. She cares about you very much.”
“I will.” There was a flash of dark light in Zhongyu Yiran’s eyes. “I already called Madam two days ago. She can’t come over for the time being, but she will send someone to take care of me.”
Hearing Zhongyu Yiran’s words, Li Yi couldn’t help but sigh, “Miss Yiran, Madam is so good to you. She treats you like her own daughter..”
