An hour later, two bowls of brewed Chinese medicine were brought over and placed before Ye Wan and Gu Yunting. Gu Yunting took his without looking, downed it in one gulp, and returned the bowl to the servant.
Ye Wan held her bowl, feeling flustered. How could he drink such bitter medicine so easily?
Had Chinese medicine changed its taste? Was it not bitter anymore?
Ye Wan hesitantly took a sip, and almost gagged. It was too... too bitter!
"Drink it quickly. Look how impressive Brother Ting is. Just pinch your nose and drink it down in one go! Be good, it's good for you," Jin Lan said, secretly amused as he coaxed her.
Ye Wan had no choice but to pinch her nose and gulp it down. But it was nowhere as easy as Jin Lan made it sound. She nearly vomited several times. After finishing it, she felt like a bitter melon.
Gu Yunting opened his palm. A piece of chocolate lay in his hand. Ye Wan was so overcome by the bitterness that she could barely think. Seeing the chocolate, she instinctively reached out and popped it into her mouth.
The sweet taste spread through her mouth, finally masking the nauseating bitterness.
But the next second, her body stiffened. She had eaten the candy Gu Yunting gave her... chocolate was a type of candy, wasn't it?
Gu Yunting watched her eat the chocolate he gave her, his gaze deepening. She was finally willing to eat the candy he offered.
...
The next morning, Ye Wan went to the hospital. Gu Yunting couldn't stop her, especially since Ye Wan's brother was also admitted there and was expected to be moved to a regular ward today.
When Ye Wan arrived at the hospital, she didn't see Fu Huaishen. She wondered if her eyes were playing tricks on her. She quickly asked a nurse about the patient in that room.
The nurse said he had left.
Left?
Ye Wan was stunned. Fu Huaishen had been seriously injured yesterday. He was only in the hospital for one night and then he left?
She immediately took out her phone and called Fu Huaishen. The call was answered quickly. "Little girl, you miss me?"
"Fu Huaishen, what's going on with you? Is your body strong enough to be discharged? Are you tired of living?" Ye Wan felt a headache coming on, mixed with anger. Life was at stake, couldn't he be serious for once?
"Little girl, if I were to die, would you remember me forever?" Fu Huaishen suddenly turned serious, his question making Ye Wan even more anxious.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Hahaha, I'm just teasing you. I have some matters that require me to return to Shi City for a while. It might be three days, or it might be a week before I'm back. Little girl, wait for me." Fu Huaishen felt a myriad of reluctance, but he had to go back and deal with Wen Jiayue's matters.
He would never forgive Wen Jiayue. If he hadn't glanced up yesterday, that bottle of sulfuric acid would have been splashed directly onto Ye Wan's face and body, which would have disfigured her or even killed her. If he hadn't recognized Wen Jiayue's ring, he wouldn't have been able to move a step faster to embrace Ye Wan and dodge. If he hadn't dodged that one time, he might have lost his life.
Therefore, Wen Jiayue could not be left alone.
He had already called back to inform them about the annulment of the engagement. It seemed the Fu and Wen families hadn't taken it seriously at all, so he would go back and resolve this engagement himself!
...
That day, Ye Cheng was moved to a regular ward. His recovery was going very well, and if all went according to plan, he would be discharged in a few days.
Upon hearing this news, Ye Cheng happily rolled around on the bed several times. He was so happy. He could finally leave the hospital and go home with his sister.
Her brother could go home, but Ye Wan felt a knot of anxiety. She was living at the Gu family's residence. Was she going to let Ye Cheng live there with her, like a dependent?
