  When Ji Yi heard He Jichen’s warm words, a bitter feeling surfaced in her eyes because of the comments she just saw in the study.

  She didn’t dare to look at him, so she let out a soft “Mhm” then reached out and took the mug. She held it in her palms and took a sip.

  As she drank, her entire heart suddenly felt an extreme pain.

  Being together was meant to be an incredibly happy thing, but because of Qian Ge, there was a strong sense of irrevokable regret mixed into that happiness.

  And this regret was destined to never be erased as long as He Jichen loved her.

  Because deep down, he still thought he was dragging her down.

  No matter how awful Ji Yi felt inside, she didn’t show the slightest hint of it in front of He Jichen.

  After she finished drinking the brown sugar ginger tea, she pretended as though she was very sleepy and pulled He Jichen back to make up for lost sleep.

  After they woke, they both had things on their minds, but they kept them deep down by never revealing it. They tried their hardest to put on their best selves to make the other person feel at ease.

  Cheng Han was already in the emergency room by the time Han Zhifan rushed to the hospital.

  Two hours later, Cheng Han emerged from the emergency room and was escorted into a patient room.

  Because he recently suffered a fever for a long time, Cheng Han’s lungs were a little infected and he needed to stay in the hospital for observation.

  After the registration papers were sorted, Han Zhifan ordered the wet nurse to stay in the room to watch over Cheng Han. Then he asked the housekeeper to head back home to pack a few things and bring them to the hospital. As for himself, he went to the office.

  Han Zhifan didn’t say in the office for too long. He held an urgent meeting and assigned important jobs to high-up executives. Then he called the secretary into his office and told her he wouldn’t be in the office for the next few days. If there were no matters of importance, he shouldn’t be disturbed.

  After sorting out things at the office, Han Zhifan drove back to the Children’s Hospital.

  Han Zhifan parked his car. Then en route to the patient ward, he bumped into the housekeeper and Cheng Weiwan.

  Cheng Weiwan was wearing the same clothes from that morning. Her clothes were wrinkled and looked a little worse for wear.

  Her hair was slightly messy, the blood on her face was wiped clean off, and the wound on her temple was quite conspicuous.

  Her eyes were really swollen as though she had been crying. She pulled on the housekeeper’s arm and moved her lips non-stop. From the expression on her face, it looked as though she was pleading with the housekeeper.

  The housekeeper stood in her tracks with a pained look on her face. She stared at Cheng Weiwan looking a little lost on what to do.

  Han Zhifan stared at the two of them for a while before finally walking over.

  As he drew closer, he could hear what Cheng Weiwan and the housekeeper were saying.

  “He’s in there, right? Let me go into the room and take a little peek? I promise I’ll leave before he gets here. I won’t give you any trouble. I beg you……”


  “Miss Cheng, I…… I……” stuttered the housekeeper who must’ve not known what to do with Cheng Weiwan’s begging. She didn’t manage to speak a complete sentence.

  “I’m begging you. Just this once! Please let me see Hanhan for five minutes. No! Three minutes, or just one minute……”


  The housekeeper looked like she was touched. She hesitated for a moment then cried, “Alright. We agreed you’ll only go in for a quick peek then you’ll leave. You know how it is. If Mr. Han finds out that I secretly let you see the young master, he won’t spare any mercy on me……”
