Ye Mingchen hung up the moment the elevator door opened. He walked out quickly, wanting to see the person he missed so much, but then saw Bai Zheyu in the corridor outside the ward.

Bai Zheyu stood at the door of the sickroom, looking straight ahead as he walked past him.

"Let's talk."

Bai Zheyu said in frustration. His footsteps slightly paused, "Wait."

He walked into the sickroom, and as Bai Youyou laid on the sickbed, her eyes immediately lit up upon seeing Ye Mingchen. It was as if she had been left at home for a very long time and finally saw her master's pet.

Ye Mingchen walked to the side of the sickbed and saw that her hair was a little messy and there were some red marks on her face. His black eyes instantly revealed a shocking ruthlessness.

Bai Youyou struggled to sit up, was supported up by Ye Mingchen, and then, she smiled with the corner of her mouth: "You're here."

"Yes, I'm here."

Ye Mingchen stooped down and hugged her, gently stroking her back. Bai Youyou's heart was suddenly warmed by the hug.

He buried his head in his arms and took in a deep breath as he smelled the faint scent of the ancient dragon perfume. The taut strings in his mind finally relaxed.

Ye Mingchen raised his hands to caress her head again. Bai Youyou squinted his eyes as if he was a cat enjoying this. His arms wrapped around Ye Mingchen's waist and he couldn't help but chuckle.

"What are you laughing at?"

Ye Mingchen lowered his head to look at her, and saw that he had a faint doting look in his eyes, as her deep and magnetic male voice was so sexy that it captivated one's soul.

Bai Youyou reluctantly stepped out of his embrace, her bright black eyes meeting his: "Happy."

She suddenly returned back to being a child beside Ye Mingchen and acted like a spoiled child when she was speaking. Ye Mingchen couldn't help but stroke her soft hair and suddenly noticed the center of her palm.

It was a mess of flesh and blood.

Her originally delicate skin was now frighteningly malevolent.

When he was at the auction house, he had already noticed it. Bai Youyou's hands were tightly clenched, and blood flowed out.

"Go to sleep."

"Where are you going?"

Bai Youyou realized that Ye Mingchen did not have any intention to stay, and anxiously asked a question.

"Go downstairs and chat with Bai Zheyu. We'll be back soon. "Don't worry, I'll have someone stand guard here."

Speaking of the bodyguards by his side, Ye Mingchen's eyes flashed with a dangerous light. The bodyguard he had arranged to guard this place had already disappeared, and might have been taken away by a sneak attack.

The second reason made Ye Mingchen afraid for the first time. He still valued those who stayed in the hospital to protect Bai Youyou, and when he was doing the cleaning up around him, he did not think of driving them away.

If such a person was a spy, then …

He looked at the bodyguards guarding the door. These were his trusted aides.

Bai Youyou was half believing and half suspecting. Somehow, she was especially reliant on Ye Mingchen, wishing that she could stick onto his body.

She forced herself to control her emotions that were far too dependent on her. She smiled lightly at Ye Mingchen and watched him leave.

Outside the sickroom, Bai Zheyu waited for Ye Mingchen. Two men with outstanding appearances found a restaurant that was open for business twenty-four hours a day downstairs and sat down.

There weren't many people in the restaurant, so the two of them sat facing each other.

This was the first time the two of them talked to each other in a relatively calm manner ever since Bai Youyou's suicide.

Ye Mingchen wore a black suit with gold lining, a white collar, a dark blue tie, and his every action was filled with elegance. His handsome face had an indifferent expression as he looked at Bai Zheyu and said in a low voice, "Speak."
