Chapter 1482

Zhu Yanyi snorted. "It wasn't me who wanted to go. He invited us himself." She handed another pastry to Yan Aohan, then continued eating. "It’s strange. What is your relationship with Silver Fox? You two seem odd. Are you friends or enemies?"

"Neither friend nor enemy. At least, not right now." Yan Aohan did not hide much. "We disagree on some things. But we are not enemies. However…" He looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Ani, be careful if you meet him."

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "I won’t meet her anyway. If we do meet, it will be a trap. Either she tricks me, or I trick her."

They had just shared tea and snacks in the same teahouse. But sharing food does not change one’s stance. That was true for them and Silver Fox.

Yan Aohan knew Zhu Yanyi saw things clearly. He was not worried she would suffer a loss. "Good. Silver Fox only tolerates those he cares about. We are not on his list. So, he will not be tolerant with us."

"I know. Don’t worry. I won’t be fooled." Zhu Yanyi nodded seriously. She had never trusted Silver Fox.

After finishing the soup dumplings, Zhu Yanyi opened an egg tart. "Honestly, I’ve never eaten so much. I shouldn’t eat this much at night." She took a bite, then fed a piece to Yan Aohan.

"If you didn’t want to eat so much, why did you ask him for more?" Yan Aohan asked, speechless.

"I don’t like her. I wanted to annoy her." Zhu Yanyi answered naturally.

Yan Aohan suppressed a laugh. "I think Silver Fox hates you."

"Let him hate. It doesn’t matter to me. Look at him. So elegant. He doesn’t seem angry at all. He is only thirty-five, but acts older than a fifty-three-year-old man. I am helping him. Getting angry makes life feel better."

Zhu Yanyi spoke so reasonably that Yan Aohan laughed out loud. He gave her a thumbs-up. "Ani, you are so right. So very right."

"Drive safely." Zhu Yanyi laughed too.

Yan Aohan was glad Silver Fox hadn’t heard her. Otherwise, he would have been furious.

Back home, they walked downstairs to digest their snacks before going up to shower.

That night, Yan Aohan remembered how Zhu Yanyi had teased him earlier. He proved his strength thoroughly. Zhu Yanyi fell asleep, limbs weak. Yan Aohan whispered, "We continue tomorrow," before letting her go.

Zhu Yanyi could only punch her pillow in frustration. She knew she could not match Yan Aohan’s stamina.

The next day, after work, Yan Aohan took Zhu Yanyi to Zhu Shun Yao’s house.

The atmosphere in the small villa was strange. It felt tense.

Zhu Shun Yao and Xie Xinlian sat on the sofa. Zhu Yanli was comforting them. Taishu Yuanxiang was on the phone. He sighed with relief when they arrived. "You are here. I was about to call you."

"What happened?" Yan Aohan asked.

Taishu Yuanxiang spoke seriously. "Doumiao’s school called. He was injured by another contestant during the national competition."

"Doumiao knows martial arts. And Niu Jiu protects him." Yan Aohan said seriously. "Did they cheat?"

"Yes. When Doumiao finished his speech as China’s representative, the other contestant pulled out a knife and stabbed him. Doumiao was alert and avoided vital organs. But he was still hurt. The wound is on his face." Taishu Yuanxiang said directly. "I have arranged a plane to bring him back." This was why he was on the phone when they entered.

"Ani, Doumiao will be fine, right?" Xie Xinlian was panicked. As a mother, she could not help but feel heartbroken.

Zhu Yanyi comforted her quickly. "Mom, don’t worry. Doumiao has the preventive medicine I gave her. Besides, here, even if she lost an arm or leg, I could fix it. Rest assured. I will make her perfect. No scars at all."

"Good." Xie Xinlian believed whatever Zhu Yanyi said now.

Yan Aohan went to make a call. When he returned, he said, "I have arranged a special channel. The plane will land on the roof of the Capital Hospital. Let’s go wait there."

Although there was still time, Yan Aohan knew Zhu Shun Yao and others had no appetite. It was better to wait at the hospital.

Yan Aohan’s car carried Zhu Shun Yao and Xie Xinlian. Taishu Yuanxiang followed with Zhu Yanli.

The two cars entered the Capital Hospital without any obstruction.

Zhu Yanyi had already called Gu Jingtian. She prepared a special ward on the fourth floor. With Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi there, Zhu Zhibin staying in the special ward was no problem.

Before Zhu Zhibin arrived, Zhu Shun Yao and Xie Xinlian sat in Zhu Yanyi’s practice chamber. They were very anxious.

Zhu Yanyi and Zhu Yanli stayed with them. Yan Aohan and Taishu Yuanxiang went to arrange food.

When they returned with boxed meals, Zhu Yanyi said, "Dad, Mom, please eat something. I know you worry about Doumiao. But you must take care of yourselves. You cannot collapse after she recovers."

"Okay." Zhu Shun Yao nodded. He told Xie Xinlian, "Xinlian, eat something. Don’t let the children worry about us."

Xie Xinlian had no appetite. But after her daughter’s persuasion, she ate a few bites. It was little, but she ate.

After eating, Zhu Yanyi asked Taishu Yuanxiang to take Zhu Yanli home to rest. "Brother-in-law, Yan Aohan and I are here. You can go back tonight. Sister is in a special condition. She must not get tired."
