Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 381 Actually, you're scared too.

At this hour, there wasn't a soul in sight in the hallway, so it was still a bit startling to suddenly see someone in front of you.

The caregiver was so startled she could barely speak, while the man in front of her quickly stood up, revealing a young and handsome face, and asked, "Did she wake up so early?"

Given Ji Yan's resistance to communication, and the fact that the caregiver didn't know much about the people around her, when Lu Xingyan asked this question, she simply nodded and said, "You're awake... Are you Miss Ji's friend?"

Lu Xingyan didn't answer, but simply asked, "May I go in and see her?"

"So early, did you wait here all night?"

Lu Xingyan nodded directly.

The caregiver was probably a little shocked for a moment. After all, in a hospital like this, it is really rare to see someone who would wait outside the ward all night.

"I'll go get the doctor," the caregiver whispered. "Miss Ji isn't in a good mood, so please don't disturb her."

Lu Xingyan responded softly and walked straight into the ward.

The lights in the ward were still dim, and the person on the bed lay motionless, with only a human figure vaguely visible under the blanket.

Lu Xingyan walked directly to the bedside, but still couldn't see the face of the person on the bed.

He didn't make a sound or move; he just stood there quietly watching.

Until the doctor came in with a caregiver.

Upon seeing him, the doctor assumed he was a relative or friend, nodded slightly to him, and then looked at the person on the hospital bed, asking, "How are you feeling? Is there anything bothering you?"

Ji Yan did not respond.

Seeing this, the doctor and the caregiver looked at Lu Xingyan somewhat awkwardly.

Lu Xingyan lowered her eyes slightly and finally spoke, "Sleeping with your head covered like this must cause oxygen deprivation, right? It can't be comfortable at all."

Sure enough, as soon as he made his voice, the person on the bed immediately stirred.

She shifted slightly, then gently pulled back the blanket a little to look at the person standing by the bed.

Having emerged from the darkness, Ji Yan was still adjusting to the light, so it took her several seconds to make out the face of the person in front of her.

Her face was usually expressionless, but when she saw that face clearly, her eyes instantly turned colder. "What are you doing here? Who let you in?"

Upon hearing this, the caregiver's expression changed instantly, and she looked at Lu Xingyan with some apprehension.

Lu Xingyan did not express his opinion. Seeing that she was finally willing to show her face, he simply looked at the doctor and said, "Please examine her first."

Ji Yan said directly, "Get out."

Lu Xingyan said, "I'll leave after the doctor finishes his examination."

Ji Yan turned directly to the doctor and said, "Is this how your hospital operates? Just anyone can enter the ward? What if he's here to harm me?"

Upon hearing this, the doctor's expression changed slightly. He then turned to Lu Xingyan and asked, "Sir, how did you get in so early?"

The caregiver only realized what was going on later.

Yes, this hospital has always been top-notch in its privacy practices; it's impossible for an insignificant person to just casually appear in the hospital corridor.

All eyes immediately turned to Lu Xingyan. Lu Xingyan simply shrugged and said, "Our wards are next to each other, so I just came to visit. Please don't be nervous."

As soon as he said that, the doctor seemed to remember something instantly, and then said, "You are Mr. Lu?"

Lu Xingyan nodded. The doctor was speechless for a moment.

Last night, I heard that a rather strange patient had come to the next ward. The medical staff were speculating about why he was admitted to the hospital. It turned out that he just came to visit someone in the hospital.

"I don't care who he is or which room he's in, I want this person to leave my room!" Ji Yan said bluntly. "Don't I even have this much power?"

"Mr. Lu..."

Lu Xingyan nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, I'll leave now. Please ask the doctor to examine her as soon as possible."

After saying that, Lu Xingyan glanced at Ji Yan, who stubbornly refused to look at him, and finally turned and walked out of the ward.

……

Around 8 a.m., Tang Xu, carrying breakfast, peeked around the corridor before finally entering the ward where Lu Xingyan was.

Lu Xingyan had just finished a phone call when she turned around and saw Tang Xu.

The two parted on bad terms yesterday, and when they met again, there was a strange atmosphere between them. The next moment, Tang Xu threw the breakfast she had brought at him and said, "I heard you were hospitalized, so I came to see what's wrong with you."

Lu Xingyan reached out and caught the breakfast steadily. While opening it and glancing inside, she casually asked, "Who told you that?"

"Gao Yan."

Lu Xingyan said "Oh," and then said, "Are people who work under Mr. Yan really so open-minded?"

“Then I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed,” Tang Xu said. “I have a strong personal charisma, and Gao Yan has always been open and honest with me.”

Lu Xingyan rolled her eyes at her.

Tang Xu then walked to a seat by the window, cautiously peeked out, and carefully closed the window before turning to Lu Xingyan and asking, "Have you seen her?"

“We met once,” Lu Xingyan said.

"She kicked you out, didn't she?" Tang Xu asked.

"Did Gao Yan tell you that too?" Lu Xingyan asked coolly.

Tang Xu shrugged, not wanting to rub salt in his wound, and simply said, "No matter what, you're just a wall away from her now, so you still have plenty of opportunities to meet. Don't be discouraged."

“I’m not discouraged,” Lu Xingyan said. “I’m just afraid that she might suffer this kind of undeserved misfortune again someday.”

Tang Xu lowered her eyes slightly after hearing this, and finally told him the general situation she knew.

"So, he made this choice to protect her and not want her to be harmed while staying at Old Master Yan's place... but no one expected such an accident to happen."

Lu Xingyan remained unmoved after hearing this, but wisely refrained from continuing the topic. Instead, he said, "He wants to completely break with Old Master Yan. Is he really prepared for that? After all, he has only been back in the country for less than two years. What does he have to fight against the Yan family and the Yan Corporation? In addition, after this incident, Old Master Yan has once again become aware of his actions. Do you think he has a chance of succeeding?"

“With his temperament, he will succeed,” Tang Xu said. “He’s just a little impatient right now. After what he’s been through, it’s hard not to be impatient. But as long as he calms down and becomes more composed, he will definitely be able to do it.”

Lu Xingyan stared at her for a while before saying, "You really have a lot of faith in him."

Before Tang Xu could respond, he said, "Or do you think that you two will break up sooner or later, so you must now fully support him in doing what he wants to do, whether it's a pipe dream or not?"

Tang Xu remained silent for a long time before sighing and saying, "Since you think it's a pipe dream, let's not talk about these unattainable things. Right now, let's eat breakfast to fill our stomachs, and then think of a way to see her. I bought all your favorite foods, and I brought them to you piping hot. Don't you want to try some?"

Lu Xingyan ignored her attempt to change the subject.

He kept looking at her and asked, "Actually, you're scared too, aren't you?"
