38 Why is it Him Again?

The two of them walked over to the doctor's office. Once they arrived, Zhang Jing knocked on the door. Once the person inside permitted him to enter, Zhang Jing turned the knob and paused. He looked at his grandson and frowned.

"Why are you following me?" Zhang Jing asked.

His grandfather's question made Zhang Yu Han frowned. "Of course, it's to accompany you inside."

"I'm not three. Why do you need to come in with me?" Zhang Jing said.

"What's wrong? Don't I always accompany you during your check-up with Doctor Xia?"

Zhang Jing felt the corner of his mouth started to twitch. He wanted to get rid of his grandson, but he did not know how. "No. This time, you sit outside. I have something I need to speak privately with that old man."

The frown on Zhang Yu Han's face deepened. He was about to refute, but once a thought crossed his mind, Zhang Yu Han decided to gave in. "Fine. I'll wait for you outside. When you're done, just give me a call. I'll come back to you."

Seeing how his grandson giving in too quick, a suspicion rose up to Zhang Jing's heart. He grabbed Zhang Yu Han's sleeve before his grandson could walk away. "Where are you going?"

Zhang Yu Han watched his grandfather, speechlessly. "Didn't you ask me to stay away? In the end, did you want me to stay or go?"

After a few seconds of weighing his options, Zhang Jing waved his hand to his grandson. "Go. Go." Then, he pushed the door and entered.

Zhang Yu Han chuckled as he watched his grandfather's figure disappear behind the door. Soon, he walked over the counter and told a nurse to keep an eye on his grandfather. Then, Zhang Yu Han walked towards the lobby. He looked at the hospital directory and frowned.

It seemed that this hospital was quite big.

With his skills, charisma, and good looking face, it was not hard for Zhang Yu Han to find out where Li Qin Yao was warded and why she had to be hospitalized. Since his grandfather's check-up has not ended, Zhang Yu Han went downstairs and bought some porridge. Then, he entered the elevator and pushed a button.

The nurse at the station immediately told him where Li Qin Yao was warded. Zhang Yu Han knocked on the door softly and waited outside until the person inside said that he could come in.

Li Qin Yao was texting Mei Xuan to inform her that she won't be able to come to work when she heard the knock.

"Come in," Li Qin Yao said lazily. She had thought that it was one of the nurses who came to check in with her. Once she saw that it was Zhang Yu Han, her eyes widened with surprise. "Mister Zhang, how come it's you?"

Li Qin Yao could only stare at him with disbelief. Why is it him again? It cannot be that he was stalking her, right?

"You were hospitalized. Since we met earlier downstairs, I thought that it would be inappropriate if I did not come to visit you," Zhang Yu Han said. He had thought of hundreds of excuses he could use if Li Qin Yao asked and finally decided to use this polite excuse.

"Thank you," Li Qin Yao forced a smile.

Actually, Li Qin Yao did not plan to see anyone. She knew that her condition did not look too good. She broke up with her boyfriend, cried her eyes out, and her bottom was still painful from staying too long in the toilet. Li Qin Yao thought that her look was not suitable to meet others. Her eyes were puffy and red, her hair was messy, and her face was pale. But how come Zhang Yu Han had appeared before her again?

"You didn't need to accompany your grandfather?"

"He went to see the doctor, and it will take a while before he finishes," Zhang Yu Han said. "Are you alright?"

"The pain was gone after the doctor gave me a shot," Li Qin Yao said.

Zhang Yu Han nodded. It was then that he remember the plastic bag in his hand. He put it on the table and said, "Right. I bought you some porridge. You can eat them if you're hungry."

Once he heard from the nurse that Li Qin Yao was admitted because she had overeaten spicy food last night, Zhang Yu Han had bought some light porridge to ease her stomach.

Li Qin Yao watched the plastic bag on the table speechlessly. After a while, she said, "You don't have to."

"I don't feel comfortable to visit a patient without bringing along something," Zhang Yu Han said. "This is not the first time we met, and we cannot be considered a stranger. Miss Li, you don't have to be polite."

"Thank you. I'll eat them later. I am not that hungry now." Li Qin Yao finally broke into a much sincere smile. She took the bag, took a whiff, and peeked inside. It was a bowl of chicken porridge. Just from the smell alone made her hungry. On cue, her stomach made a growling sound. Li Qin Yao paused and hesitated whether she should bury herself under the blanket.

It seemed that these past few days, Zhang Yu Han had continued to see her embarrassing side.

Zhang Yu Han coughed once and decided to pretend that he had not heard that sound earlier. Looking at Li Qin Yao's embarrassing expression and Sensing her discomfort, Zhang Yu Han knew that it was time for him to leave. "That… I should go and check on my grandfather now."

Li Qin Yao nodded but did not lift her head to meet his gaze. "Then you shouldn't make your grandfather wait for too long."

Zhang Yu Han smiled. Though he liked her, Zhang Yu Han knew that Li Qin Yao was someone who had a boyfriend. With his status as merely an acquaintance, he had no reason to stay by her side longer. "Then, I wish for your speedy recovery, Miss Li."

Once Zhang Yu Han disappeared from her room, Li Qin Yao took the pillow and buried her face underneath and cried over her misfortune.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yu Han returned to his grandfather's side and was surprised to hear that Doctor Xia had suggested for his grandfather to be admitted into the hospital. Zhang Yu Han's heart began to pound as he worried.

"Doctor Xia, what happen to my grandfather?"

"You don't have to worry too much. Your grandfather's high blood pressure is slightly high. We just need to keep your grandfather in the hospital for a night to observe his condition." Doctor Xia said nervously. Though the old Zhang had instructed him with what he should say, Doctor Xia still thought that it was hard to tell a lie.

Zhang Yu Han frowned. He was not a doctor, but he knew that there was something strange with the doctor's explanation. Moreover, his grandfather did not look like he was sick. "If you're going to observe his condition, shouldn't he stay in the hospital longer?"

Zhang Jing's face turned black as he saw that his grandson's started to get suspicious. "Do you wish for your grandfather to stay longer in the hospital?"
