Chapter 956: Treating Me Like an Outsider

Yaen Chi’s brows furrowed imperceptibly.

“Oh right, let me pour you a glass of water.” Madam Ye said.

Just as Yaen Chi was about to stop her, he saw Madam Ye searching around, then rubbing her hands with an embarrassed look on her face, “I’m sorry, there’s only one cup, Wanting and I use it, I’m really sorry to let a guest use it, I’ll go to the nurse station to ask for a paper cup.”

“I’m just staying…” for a while.

Before he could finish his sentence, Madam Ye had already left.

Yaen Chi sighed silently, turned back, and helped Ye Wanting sit up, “Is work exhausting you?”

Ye Wanting bit her lip, not speaking.

“Why didn’t you tell me when something happened?”

Ye Wanting was slightly stunned.

At first, her guard against him eased a bit.

A thought turned around in her mind, she didn’t intend to beat around the bush, so she asked directly: “Is Yin Tao using your influence?”

Yaen Chi’s lips curled slightly, he almost smiled, “Am I really that powerful?”

Ye Wanting didn’t want to speak ill of others behind their back, but this matter indeed weighed heavily on her mind.

She could have easily complained to Yaen Chi, given their past relationship, especially since he came personally, tacitly permitting her to bring it up.

But she didn’t want to drive a wedge into other people’s relationships.

When she was about to speak, she awkwardly changed it to: “Sorry, I talked too much.”

Yaen Chi glanced at her, then let out a self-deprecating laugh.

He was wearing a linen gray shirt, casual pants without a belt, one long leg stretched out, he reached into his pocket to take out a lighter, flipping and lighting it repeatedly, after a long pause, he spoke softly: “Did brother ever tell you, if anything happens, ask me for help, don’t bottle up your grievances, don’t treat me as an outsider?”

Ye Wanting took a deep breath, “Then who should be the outsider, me or Yin Tao?”

Yaen Chi abruptly looked up, staring at her.

For a moment earlier, he almost thought she was throwing a tantrum, but her tone didn’t match, it was clearly a bitter smile and helplessness.

“There’s nothing much to say, regardless of the cause of this incident, the hospital has regulations, medical staff can’t give patients anything, especially food, it’s my own negligence at work, I’ll accept the hospital’s punishment without any objections.”

She’s clarified everything she needed to over these past couple of days.

Perhaps Yin Tao saw her as a hypothetical rival.

But between her and Yaen Chi, there really wasn’t anything improper.

“Brother Chi, if you really care for me, just stay out of this.”

Yaen Chi’s eyes darkened slightly, but outwardly he showed no emotion, he keenly noticed the paint on Ye Wanting’s hair, “What do you plan to do from now on?”

“I’m only in my sophomore year,” Ye Wanting smiled gently, “even if I can’t practice medicine, it’s alright.

I plan to pick up design seriously, as long as I work hard enough, I can live by choosing another path.”

Yaen Chi really didn’t want this girl to live so repressed.

He always remembered when she told him at Minglun that she was going to intern in a hospital, looking so bright and clear.

Just because of two broken cups of coffee, her dream was shattered.

And it was his own hand that brought her to this state.

Honestly, this feeling fucking sucked.

“Alright, I won’t force you, whether you’re planning to practice medicine again or design, whether you’re in Rongcheng City or somewhere else, if you’re wronged, just find me.

I’m staying out of this time, but if it happens again, I’ll handle it to the end.”

Ye Wanting pressed her lips together.

What should she say?

Grateful?

Not really.

No matter what, Yin Tao is his girlfriend, no matter how good the relationship is, there’s still some closeness or distance.

She’s not that clueless.

So she didn’t respond but didn’t make it final either, she just smiled at him.
