"Brother Chu, are you okay?" Xue Qianqian saw him and couldn't hide her concern for him in her eyes.

Chu Jie came to the bedside, helped her lie down, and then said with a smile: "What can happen to me? The most important thing for you now is to heal your wounds and not leave scars."

Xue Qianqian nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Jie felt a dull pain in his heart when he saw her bandaged wound. She was in so much pain that tears came out but she refused to cry. She kept comforting him on the way to the hospital. When he thought of this, he felt particularly sorry for her.

Seeing tears glistening in his eyes, Xue Qianqian was a little at a loss. Having known him for so long, he had always been calm, steady, gentle and polite. It was inevitable that she was a little worried that he would suddenly become like this.

"Brother Chu, did they bully you?"

Xue Qianqian already felt guilty for having implicated him because of Chu Heng's affairs before, and today he was wronged because of her affairs. She felt mixed emotions.

Chu Jie raised his eyes and met Xue Qianqian's gaze. He restrained the emotions in his eyes and curled up the corners of his mouth into a faint smile.

"They didn't bully me, I bullied them. Don't worry, they won't dare to trouble you again."

"Then why did you..."

She didn't say anything else, but her eyes said it all.

"I just feel sorry for you." When Chu Jie said this, Xue Qianqian was stunned. Her mind was blank and she asked, "What did you just say?"

Chu Jie smiled slightly and said calmly: "I just said that your injury was all because of me, and since you like wearing skirts so much, I will definitely find a way to prevent you from getting scars and let you continue to be a beautiful little princess."

Hearing this, Xue Qianqian laughed out loud and said that she had misheard. How could he say such words to her?

In order to prevent him from feeling guilty, Xue Qianqian raised her chin high like a spoiled little princess and said in a condescending tone, "Brother Chu, since you are so sincere, then you have to take care of my skirts from now on."

Her arrogant look made Chu Jie fall in love with her to the core.

He smiled, touched her head, and said gently: "Okay, from now on, not only little skirts, but anything you like, I will buy it all."

When Xue Qianqian met Chu Jie's gaze, she saw the love and doting in his eyes that he had no time to hide. She immediately panicked and her eyes began to become uncertain.

"Well... actually, you don't need to. I can buy it myself."

Chu Jie said with a smile in his eyes: "Since I promised you, I will naturally do it. Don't worry, I will work hard to make money, and I will buy you anything you want in the future."

Xue Qianqian was caught off guard by his words. She felt a surge of heat on her cheeks, and two red clouds instantly appeared. Her heart began to beat uncontrollably, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

What did he mean by that? Xue Qianqian's eyes were full of panic, and she didn't know where to look, but her sight always passed over Chu Jie's face intentionally or unintentionally, making Chu Jie laugh and cry.

At this moment, a knock on the door broke the awkward atmosphere. Xue Qianqian, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, hurriedly shouted, "Come in!"

As the door was pushed open, Lin Yumeng, Fu Beichen and Xue Kai walked in.

When Chu Jie saw them, he immediately stood up and nodded slightly to Fu Beichen as a greeting.

Lin Yumeng noticed that the blush on Xue Qianqian's face had not yet faded. She smiled and placed the fruit basket that Fu Beichen had brought on the table next to her. Then she turned to the men and said, "You guys go out and chat. I'll stay with Qianqian."

The three men nodded in unison and left the room.

As soon as they left, Lin Yumeng looked at her playfully, "Qianqian, what did you and Chu Jie talk about just now?"

Xue Qianqian stammered, "No...we didn't talk about anything, just a simple chat."

"Oh, really?" Lin Yumeng said jokingly with a wicked smile on her face, "You've blushed from just a simple chat. Could it be that he's pissed you off?"

Xue Qianqian's breathing stagnated, and she felt the temperature on her face rise a few degrees. She subconsciously lowered her head and covered her cheeks with her hands.

"It's a bit stuffy in the ward, sister, can you help me open the window a little?"

Lin Yumeng chuckled, stood up, walked to the window, and opened it while whispering, "You have internal heat, so opening the window won't help."

Xue Qianqian was left in tears and laughter by her words. Well, she decided not to try to cover up the truth and put her hand down openly.

After thinking for a moment, she said to Lin Yumeng, "Sister, he just said something very strange to me. He said he would work hard to make money and buy me whatever I want in the future."

Lin Yumeng smiled like an auntie when she heard this. "That's great! It saves a lot of money."

Xue Qianqian was speechless...

Seeing this, Lin Yumeng smiled and said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. He's confessing his love to you in disguise."

Xue Qianqian had a vague guess, but in her opinion, a man as outstanding as Chu Jie should not look down on her, and she was also his brother's ex-girlfriend, so she was not sure if she was being too sentimental.

"Sister-in-law, do you think he said that because he felt guilty about my injury?"

Seeing her conflicted expression, Lin Yumeng smiled and said, "Chu Jie is a smart man. If he didn't like you, he would have avoided you long ago. Why is he still approaching you eagerly?"

Xue Qianqian explained: "Sister, that's not the case. He used to have an assistant, and many things were done by his assistants and secretaries. Now he lives alone and doesn't know how to do anything. There's nothing at home, so when I'm free, I go and help him choose things."

"You have noble character, and everything you say is right." Lin Yumeng looked at her helplessly.

Xue Qianqian heard this and called out coquettishly: "Sister~"

"My silly Qianqian, he's been the CEO for so many years, you can't believe he's really an idiot who can't take care of himself, right? Even if his company is gone, doesn't he have any friends? He needs your brother's ex-girlfriend to help him? Isn't it obvious that he wants to win you over?"

Hearing this, Xue Qianqian was secretly surprised. Could it be that he really liked her? But...

She took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm, and then said lightly: "Sister, didn't he say before that he already has a girl he likes? Let's stop thinking about it."

Lin Yumeng raised her hand and tapped her head. "You, haven't you realized that when he said that, he was talking to you? It's you he likes."

This... Xue Qianqian really didn't pay attention. Thinking about his attitude towards her over the past few days, she couldn't describe the feeling in her heart. It was a bit sweet and a bit panicked, but more of a feeling of being at a loss.

Seeing that she looked a little flustered, Lin Yumeng gently patted her hand and said softly, "Qianqian, don't panic. Just pretend you don't know. Wait until he admits it. Besides, your brother is here, so you can rest assured."

Hearing this, Xue Qianqian panicked even more. Her brother was a fool. When she was pursuing Chu Heng, he had always disagreed with her. Now if he knew that Chu Jie liked her, she would not even have the freedom to go out alone in the future.

After chatting with Xue Qianqian for a while, Lin Yumeng saw that she was a little tired, so she stood up and said goodbye to her.

When she opened the door, she found three men standing outside staring at her.

Lin Yumeng smiled slightly and said, "Qianqian is tired and has fallen asleep. You can go in and see her later."

Xue Kai and Chu Jie nodded.

Lin Yumeng turned around and prepared to leave when Fu Beichen suddenly asked, "Chu Jie, aren't you leaving?"

Chu Jie's expression remained unchanged, and he replied calmly, "Mr. Fu, I have some things to deal with these days, so I'd like to take a few days off."

"What's the matter?" Fu Beichen looked at him with amusement. He never expected him to say directly, "A friend is in the hospital and needs care."

Xue Kai jumped up when he heard this, "My sister doesn't need your care, the farther away from her the better."

Chu Jie refused to retort, but just looked at Fu Beichen seriously. Fu Beichen knew that even if he disagreed, he would not return to the company, so he just asked: "How many days?"

Chu Jie answered without hesitation: "It's hard to say. I'll go back to work when Qianqian gets better."

Hearing this, Fu Beichen's mouth twitched. He really is...

Xue Kai looked at Chu Jie coldly: "My sister doesn't need you to take care of her."

Chu Jie: "What you said doesn't count."

Seeing Xue Kai about to fight him, Fu Beichen immediately stepped forward to stop him, and then asked Chu Jie: "I heard that you work 365 days a year and almost live in the company. Now that you are no longer the boss, you are so passive and lazy?"

Facing Fu Beichen's questioning, Chu Jie responded confidently: "Boss, don't worry. Although I won't be going to the company, I will do everything I should do. Don't worry."

After getting this answer, Fu Beichen didn't know what to say, but he didn't think about caring about him. With his ability, he could do it anywhere, so he agreed to his request.

Xue Kai said angrily: "I don't agree. I can take care of my sister myself. I don't need your fake kindness."

Fu Beichen rolled his eyes helplessly, walked over and hooked his arm around Xue Kai's shoulders, and whispered, "Brother, I have a 100 million project recently. I wonder if you are interested?"

Hearing this, Xue Kai's eyes lit up. After all, his shabby company's monthly revenue was pitifully low. Being able to participate in such a large project would be a godsend. Perhaps, not only could he easily solve his current financial difficulties, but he might even gain recognition and praise from his family!

So, Fu Beichen successfully took Xue Kai away on the pretext of discussing a project.

Lin Yumeng looked at their backs and felt a bit amused. As she left, she told Chu Jie, "Take good care of Qianqian. Don't say we didn't give you a chance."

Chu Jie nodded and thanked her solemnly.

Lin Yumeng entered the elevator and pressed the floor button. When the elevator reached the second floor, the door slowly opened and someone came in. At that moment, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure - Shen Bingbing.

She was seen sitting quietly on a stool in the corridor, holding a test report tightly in one hand and gently stroking her abdomen with the other.

When the elevator door was about to close, Lin Yumeng saw clearly the three words "Obstetrics and Gynecology" hanging in the corridor.
