Qin Chaoyan was pinching Ye Rongxu’s feet, while Ye Rongxu was trying to hide away with red eyes as if he were being bullied.
Ye Boxuan was silent for a second, thinking crookedly for a second, and angry for countless seconds, before asking in a deep voice, “What are you doing?”
Qin Chaoyan’s heart sank. He slowly loosened his hand and stood up in silence.
With a puzzled look on his face, Ye Rongxu looked at his dad and obediently answered, “I’m doing foot massage.”
Ye Boxuan looked at his son’s eyes, which obviously looked like he had cried, and asked anxiously, “Just a foot massage?”
Ye Rongxu looked at him with his beautiful bead-like eyes and nodded with a puzzled expression, thinking, What else?
Ye Boxuan was also confused: “Then why are you crying, Xuxu?”
Ye Rongxu was exposed by his father for the fact that “he wanted to take revenge, but the plan backfired, and he was almost squeezed to tears by his future enemy.” He felt a little embarrassed and said awkwardly, “He’s so bad at this. His hand was too strong.”
Ye Boxuan: “…”
Qin Chaoyan turned his head slightly, surprise flashing through his cold eyes.
Ye Boxuan was also embarrassed. After coming back to his senses, he pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and looked at Qin Chaoyan apologetically.
“Xiao Qin, right? Thank you for taking care of Xuxu. I’m really sorry for what happened just now.”
After saying that, he remembered that it might be Qin Chaoyan who caused Ye Rongxu to fall into the water, and the bodyguard who accompanied Qin Chaoyan to apologize today also…
Ye Boxuan frowned slightly when thinking of this, but he still maintained a polite tone: “You have worked hard just now; you should go and rest first; I will take care of Xuxu.”
This means that he wants to talk to Ye Rongxu alone.
Since Qin Chaoyan was thrown into this so-called upper-class circle by the Qin family, it was the first time he heard an apology without any sarcasm or ridicule, and it came from an elder.
Although the other party’s attitude soon changed subtly,.
But he didn’t care, as long as the purpose of coming here today was achieved.
“It’s okay, then I’ll go out first, Uncle Ye.” He said it calmly, trying to straighten his back and maintain his pitiful self-esteem.
When he walked to the door, he paused slightly, tilted his head, and glanced at Ye Rongxu, who was still hugging his calf and had been obediently sitting in the wheelchair since Ye Boxuan’s arrival, as if reminding him: don’t forget your promise.
Ye Rongxu’s eyes wandered around and bumped into him. He froze for a moment and waved: Got it, stingy male protagonist.
Qin Chaoyan then closed the door of the ward tightly; his eyes were cold as he walked towards the elevator.
Just after walking a few steps, the hand in his pocket suddenly touched a small, round bottle. He took it out and saw that it was Ye Rongxu’s medicine spray.
There were two bottles in the ward at that time. He grabbed one bottle when he saved Ye Rongxu, and the other bottle fell to the ground. Later, Lin Jiaojiao picked it up and put it back close to Ye Rongxu.
The medicine of the young master is not cheap, not to mention that this is a life-saving medicine.
Qin Chaoyan lowered his eyes, stared at the bottle for a moment, sneered, and turned back.

In the ward, Ye Boxuan watched Qin Chaoyan leave in silence and was a little surprised, thinking the illegitimate son of the Qin family was a little different from the rumors.
However, his eyes quickly moved back to his own baby son, and his expression softened instantly.
“Xuxu, did the Qin family bodyguard really do nothing?” He raised his hand and touched Ye Rongxu’s slightly curled hair. Thinking of the fact that his son was almost kidnapped by a pervert last year because of his negligence, he was terrified.
This is “once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the rope for ten years.”
Ye Rongxu grabbed his father’s hand and comforted him softly. “It’s okay. Cousin and the nurse were there at the time. Uncle Chen and the others also came in soon after.”
Uncle Chen is the bodyguard for the Ye family. He was a retired soldier hired by the Ye family at a high price after Ye Rongxu’s mishap last year.
Ye Boxuan was slightly relieved after hearing his son repeatedly say that he was okay.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked again, “By the way, Xuxu, do you remember how you fell into the swimming pool?”
Ye Rongxu froze, remembering that he lied in his dream and saying that Qin Chaoyan pushed him on purpose…
He hurriedly described the situation truthfully, “I saw Qin Jingrong bullied Qin Chaoyan by the swimming pool, so I wanted to stop him. As soon as I approached them, Qin Jingrong pushed Qin Chaoyan so hard that he couldn’t stand still and accidentally touched my wheelchair.”
This time, he really didn’t tell any lies.
Outside the ward, Qin Chaoyan, who had just walked back and was about to knock on the door to return the medicine, paused.
Hearing Ye Rongxu’s vague voice, his eyelids drooped slightly, covering his eyes, and his thoughts were obscured.
After a while, he put his hands in his pockets, turned around, and walked to the window at the end of the corridor. Through the glass, he looked at the evergreen trees in the distance that had been rained on all night and were now glowing with luster again.

As expected, Ye Boxuan didn’t blame Qin Chaoyan as he did in his dream, but after listening to Ye Rongxu’s description, he still had some opinions about Qin Qijiang.
Qin Jingrong was the son of Qin Qijiang’s younger brother. In the final analysis, this matter was a conflict between the two younger generations of the Qin family, which implicated his son.
He sighed and then rubbed Ye Rongxu’s head, while also reminding him: “When you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, remember to hide farther away and let others stop it.”
His son’s small physique is not suitable for being brave and righteous.
After speaking, he thought of Qin Qijiang. His gaze was fixed, and he got up and prepared to go out to call the other party.
Ye Rongxu suddenly grabbed his hand, hesitated for a moment, and said, “Dad, I want to cancel my engagement with Qin Jingxu.”
Ye Boxuan was slightly surprised when he heard this. His son used to call Qin Jingxu “Brother Jingxu,” but this time he called him by his name and said he wanted to cancel the engagement…
“Why? Did you have a fight with Qin Jingxu?” He turned around, smiling gently and dotingly. “Is it because he didn’t come to the birthday party yesterday? I can you ask him to apologize to you, ok?”
No matter what the reason, Qin Jingxu made his Xuxu unhappy, so it must be Qin Jingxu’s fault.
Ye Boxuan was quite unreasonable when it came to his son. What’s more, he had some opinions about the Qin family because of Qin Jingrong and the Qin family bodyguard.
Ye Rongxu shook his head and said, “I’m not angry with him. I just don’t want to have an engagement with him, Dad; you don’t need to ask him to apologize.”
After hearing this, Ye Boxuan thought, Isn’t this child just sulking?
He half crouched down, looked at his son’s somewhat tangled expression, laughed, and asked, “What’s the matter? If he did something wrong, Dad will teach him a lesson. Canceling the engagement is not a trivial matter. You can’t do it on a whim. If there is no reason, it will be difficult to explain to the Qin family, and it won’t be easy for you in case you regret it later.”
He still thought that the two might have quarreled, and Ye Rongxu wanted to break off the engagement after a moment of sulking.
After all, in his opinion, the two have always gotten along well. In the past, every time Qin Jingxu came to the Ye family, Xuxu was very happy.
But in fact, Ye Rongxu was simply happy because his friends came to see him. Now that he knows Qin Jingxu’s character, he doesn’t even want to be friends with him, let alone engaged to him.
“I won’t regret it.” He frowned his beautiful eyebrows, a little disgusted.
But Ye Boxuan obviously thought he was just being his childish self.
He had no evidence to prove that Qin Jingxu had a lover, and there was no recording of the previous phone call. Qin Jingxu would definitely not admit it. He also couldn’t say that he had dreamed about it. Or… should he ask Qin Chaoyan to help him prove it?
Forget it; he would just ask his dad to help investigate. His dad must have a way.
“Qin Jingxu has someone he likes, and they were together last night.” Ye Rongxu said, then hugged Ye Boxuan’s arm, saying in a pettish tone, “Anyway, I don’t like him, so help me cancel the engagement, Dad.”
When Ye Boxuan heard the first sentence, his smile quickly disappeared, and he frowned. “Is this true?”
Ye Rongxu nodded and emphasized: “When he called me just now, he admitted it himself, but if you ask him now, Dad, he will definitely not admit it.”
Ye Boxuan’s expression sank, and after a while he touched his head again, and his tone softened: “Don’t worry, Dad will handle this.”
Ye Rongxu thought that “will handle” meant that he would cancel the engagement and nodded obediently, “Okay.”
After Ye Boxuan left, Ye Rongxu supported the wheelchair by himself, struggled to get back to the bed, and covered himself with a quilt.
Thinking that he could cancel the engagement, he felt very good, as if he had solved a major event in his life.
The next step is to take good care of his health.
He took out his cell phone and wanted to consult the Chinese medicine grandpa, who had done acupuncture for him before, about how to stay healthy.
Seeing the contacts on the phone, he suddenly remembered what he had promised Qin Chaoyan just now and called Qin Qijiang instead.
“Uncle Qin, the person who knocked me into the water this time was Qin Jingrong, not Qin Chaoyan. In addition, I have forgiven Qin Chaoyan for the previous things. Don’t blame… embarrass him anymore.” He held the phone to his ear and went straight to the point.
Qin Qijiang hadn’t received Ye Boxuan’s call at this time and didn’t know about the bodyguard incident. He thought that Ye Rongxu had just taught Qin Chaoyan a lesson, and his mood improved. He said happily, “Okay, uncle knows, you take good care of yourself. By the way, Jingxu returned to China yesterday. When are you free to come to our house, Xiao Xu? I’ll ask Jingxu to hang out with you.”
Ye Rongxu pouted, not wanting to talk more. After making an excuse, he hung up the phone, then opened WeChat and sent a message to the old Chinese medicine doctor.
Just after sending a greeting expression, there was a knock on the door.
Ye Rongxu thought it was Lin Jiaojiao, or the nurse, so he lowered his head, continued to chat with the old Chinese doctor, and casually said, “Come in.”
The ward door was quickly pushed open, but the person at the door didn’t make a sound.
Ye Rongxu was puzzled, and just as he was about to look up, a pair of familiar, slender, and straight legs came into his sight.
Much longer than his legs and stronger.
Ye Rongxu: “…” I’m very jealous.
Looking up, it was indeed Qin Chaoyan.
Ye Rongxu was puzzled: “Why are you back again?”
After two seconds of confusion, he suddenly remembered something and came to a realization: “Don’t worry, I have already called Uncle Qin to tell him what I promised you.”
Qin Chaoyan was just outside the door, so he naturally heard it.
He looked at Ye Rongxu strangely, and after a while, he muffled two words: thank you.
Then he handed over the spray medicine and said calmly, “Your medicine.”
Ye Rongxu: Oh, it turns out that you are here to return the medicine.
He reached out to take it, and his white, pinkish fingertips accidentally touched the back of Qin Chaoyan’s fingers.
A slightly cool touch fell.
Qin Chaoyan suddenly loosened his five fingers as if he were electrocuted, and the medicine fell from his hand.
Ye Rongxu hurriedly grabbed it with both hands, and after successfully catching the medicine, he looked at Qin Chaoyan and asked, “What are you doing?”
Qin Chaoyan retracted his hand, put his fingers together, and looked at him silently.
Ye Rongxu leaned back on the head of the bed at this time; his thin shoulders sank into the soft pillow, and the whole person looked very small. On his fair face, his expression was depressed and confused.
Qin Chaoyan pursed his lips, slowly looked away, and said, “It’s true that Qin Jingxu has a lover, and the person last night was not the first one. He broke up with someone before.”
After saying that, he seemed to regret it, and his handsome eyebrows were slightly wrinkled.
Young Master Ye was spoiled and ignorant of the ways of the world. To put it bluntly, he was stupid. He liked Qin Jingxu, who had a darker heart than honeycomb coal. It is estimated that he will be coaxed by the other party in the twinkling of an eye.
His kind reminder might only be treated as malicious intent.
Perhaps after the two reconciled, the young master would still hate him and think that he was saying bad things about Qin Jingxu.
Qin Chaoyan felt a little irritable in his heart and seemed to regret saying that sentence more and more. After a moment of depression, he suddenly turned around and left the room without saying a word.
Ye Rongxu, lying on the bed: “?”
