1138 I Want to Make You Stay 16 (1/2)
Yu Yiwei arrived at the hospital in the afternoon together with Fan Shixin. She initially wanted to bring some food along for Jin Qingyan and An Xiaoning. However, Fan Shixin forbade her from doing so.
Hence, Yu Yiwei hitched a ride from Fan Shixin and made her way to the hospital.
”Young Madam, come outside for a while. I have to talk to you about something.”
All three of them knew that it was just an excuse to send An Xiaoning out of the ward. Jin Qingyan was the only one who was in the dark.
After Fan Shixin and An Xiaoning left, Yu Yiwei stood beside the bed and asked, ”Were there any symptoms that occurred before your relapse this time?”
”No, it just happened after I fell asleep. My emotions were rather stable before I went to bed.”
”Well, your illness is irregular to begin with, and the occurrence of relapses is very erratic. Sometimes there will be symptoms and sometimes there won't be any. It's not surprising at all. I've prescribed some medicine for you that'll help stabilize your condition as much as possible.” She took out a transparent box from her bag, which contained several different drugs, and explained, ”This contains enough doses to last you a week. If you have any qualms, you may send the drugs for a lab test to verify the ingredients. Take them once a day, one pill of each type at a time.”
Jin Qingyan took it from her and said, ”Got it.”
Yu Yiwei then proceeded to mention some irrelevant and unnecessary things before An Xiaoning and Fan Shixin entered.
Yu Yiwei was filled with envy after seeing how chummy and affectionate An Xiaoning and Jin Qingyan were with each other. When it was time to go back, she initially planned to hail a taxi. However, Fan Shixin insisted on sending her back.
Yu Yiwei was well aware that he still had his guard up against her and would not allow her to wander around on her own without any bodyguards chaperoning her.
”Mr. Jin and Ms. An get along so well. Why haven't they reconciled their marriage yet?”
”How would I know what they're thinking?” Fan Shixin said coldly.
”Chief Fan, has there been any progress in your matchmaking sessions?”
”I was planning to put an end to it, but I forgot to do so because I have been extremely busy lately. I'll be stopping the registration today.”
”If I were to sign up too, will you pick me, Chief Fan?”
Fan Shixin looked at her in bewilderment and asked, ”Why would you ask such a question, Ms. Yu?”
”I've already asked it anyway. Aren't you going to answer me?”
Remaining calm and composed, Fan Shixin said, ”You must be kidding, Ms. Yu. You're out of my league, but since you've asked, I shall just tell you truthfully. You and I are obviously incompatible in terms of personalities, so I'm sorry, but I won't pick you.”
Yu Yiwei pursed her lips and answered, ”You've never even spent time with me privately before, how would you know that we're not compatible?”
”Well, sometimes, a man's intuition can be very accurate too.”
Seeing how blunt and honest he was, she smiled and said, ”I was just teasing you, Chief Fan. Don't take it to heart.”
”That goes without saying.”
Yu Yiwei looked out of the window and remained quiet.
Fan Shixin dropped her off at the entrance and watched her enter the door before heading back to the office.
....
In the evening, Fan Shixin called Jin Qingyan to inform him that the lab test results had shown that the drugs did not contain any abnormal substances and were purely meant to aid him in calming his senses.
Jin Qingyan decided to start consuming the medicine.
”Xiaoning, pour me some water.”
”Alright.” An Xiaoning grabbed his cup and filled half of it with hot water and the remaining half with cold water from the water dispenser.
She handed it to him after testing the temperature.
He grabbed the cup and took a sip, after which he said, ”Switch on the television. I want to watch it.”
