Chapter 943: Gifts and Suspicions

She was very careful but still woke Yin Tao from sleep.

“Did I startle you?”

Yin Tao opened her drowsy eyes, “No, I just suddenly felt sleepy and took a nap.”

“Infusions can make one sleepy, did Doctor Tan ask you to come on an empty stomach for a check-up?”

“Yes,” Yin Tao looked up, “Is tomorrow alright, will you be here tomorrow?”

“Huh?”

“Don’t get me wrong, I’m a bit timid and I’m quite familiar with you.

If someone else does the check-up, I’m afraid I’ll be nervous.”

Ye Wanting hesitated, “But it’s not me who will do it, there will be a physician.”

“Then you…” Yin Tao grabbed her hem, got startled, and hurriedly let go, “Sorry, I just don’t know how to communicate.”

Ye Wanting’s gaze softened, “Don’t worry, if you need anything, just look for me, I’ll be here.”

“Can I add you on WeChat?”

Ye Wanting took out her phone and added Yin Tao as a friend.

Just then, a call came in, and the ringtone woke Yaen Chi on the sofa.

Ye Wanting awkwardly tried to cover the phone, but couldn’t suppress the sound, so she had to answer it in front of him.

It was a call from her senior, they were at a Chinese restaurant waiting for her, the dishes had just been served, asking her when she’d come.

She spoke on the phone as she walked out.

Passing by Yaen Chi, he heard her say, “I’m coming over now.”

His eyebrows raised slightly, he glanced toward the door, only catching a glimpse of Ye Wanting hurriedly leaving, her figure flickering and quickly disappearing.

He rubbed his forehead, moved next to Yin Tao, glanced at the empty IV stand, “Sorry, I forgot to set the alarm, did nothing happen?”

Yin Tao shook her head, “No, Miss Ye came, and I also fell asleep just now, thankfully she was here.”

“Hmm,” Yaen Chi picked up the coat from the chair back, “Can you walk?

I’ll take you home.”

“I can.”

Yin Tao pulled back the quilt, put on her shoes, followed behind Yaen Chi.

He escorted her to the apartment building downstairs, took a box from the drawer and handed it to her, “I bought it casually, wear it for fun.”

Yin Tao opened it in front of him; it was a pearl bracelet, she looked surprised, “It’s beautiful.”

“Try it on.”

Yin Tao carefully took it out, slipped it onto her wrist, the pearls glided down her wrist bone, she raised her hand to show him, “I really like it.”

“Glad you do.”

Yaen Chi unbuckled her seatbelt, leaned over, opened the car door for her, and gently urged her out, “Be careful going home, give me a call when you get there.”

Yin Tao’s lips pursed slightly, just for a moment, then she smiled obediently when he looked her way, responded softly, and stepped out of the car.

Yaen Chi waited for her to close the car door, slowly drove away.

Yin Tao’s face suddenly darkened.

She walked under the streetlight, raised her hand to inspect the bracelet under the light, then searched for its price, her heart started racing.

Yaen Chi genuinely seemed like the perfect boyfriend, not only considerate, but gifts he gave were always worth hundreds of thousands.

Yin Tao had been with him up to now, collecting gifts at least ten times.

Unfortunately,

he remained distant, always leaving her anxious, rather than being lovers, it felt like she was Yaen Chi’s decoy, given the status and treatment of a girlfriend but without the deserved affection.

To date, the most he had done was wrap his arm around her shoulder in front of his friends.

Privately, he hadn’t even held her hand.

How could such a flirt not know how to be charming?

Until she saw with her own eyes how cautious Yaen Chi was toward Ye Wanting.

Her suspicions increasingly magnified, reaching an uncontrollable point.
