Chapter 8 First Meeting (2)

Ye Liangyan lowered her head again and continued to read, a composed expression on her face as she answered, "I was just asking casually."

In reality, her heart was anything but calm at this moment.

The wealthy Jiang Family, a car accident, an unmarried fiance missing.

Just by these points alone, she could almost confirm that the Young Master Jiang was the one engaged to their Ye Family!

If the news online were true, then this was indeed an unexpectedly good piece of news for her!

…

The next day.

She waited until two in the afternoon but still had not received a notification from Doctor Qin at Shengjing Hospital.

She remembered clearly that he had said yesterday afternoon that if he could get the patient's consent, she could go again this afternoon. But after such a long wait, there was no contact from Doctor Qin, and even her senior brother hadn't called. Could it be... that the driver didn't agree to see her?

With that thought, Ye Liangyan hesitated for a moment but decided to call Xing Ziyu and ask.

It turned out that Xing Ziyu said Doctor Qin hadn't mentioned this to him at all.

So... this meant he didn't agree to see her?

After hanging up the phone, Ye Liangyan bit her lip, then suddenly stood up and decided to go to the hospital herself to find out what was going on.

No matter whether the driver was willing to see her or not, she had to make the trip, if only to find some peace of mind. If the person truly did not need her compensation or apology, then she could also be free from guilt.

When she arrived at Shengjing Hospital, it was almost five o'clock. Just as she was about to enter the hospital doors, noticing people around her carrying fruit baskets and fresh flowers, she realized she came empty-handed.

Visiting a patient like this...

It didn't seem quite right, did it?

After a moment's hesitation, she turned and walked into a fruit and vegetable supermarket nearby.

When she came out again, she was carrying a beautifully decorated fruit basket.

She made her way to the same VIP ward she had visited the day before and raised her hand to knock on the door.

After a while, there was no response from inside.

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she knocked a few more times, asking in a gentle voice, "Hello, is anyone there?"

After waiting again, there was still no sign of life.

She reached out and tried to turn the doorknob; fortunately, the door wasn't locked. She pushed the door open and saw that it was a small living room.

Ye Liangyan was slightly taken aback before she realized that this was a VIP ward, naturally different from regular wards. No wonder there had been no response to her knocking.

Her gaze swept around and landed on a door inside the room.

She reached for the doorknob, gave it a light push, and the door opened.

She was about to speak when she lifted her eyes and saw that there was no one in the hospital room.

Surprised, she was about to leave when she heard the familiar sound of water gurgling.

Her eyes followed the sound to another door inside the ward.

She guessed it might be the bathroom.

She placed the fruit basket on the bedside table to one side, walked to the sofa under the window, and was about to sit and wait when suddenly, a cold yet melodious male voice came from within the bathroom.

"What are you doing out there? Aren't you going to come in and help me?"

Ye Liangyan, who was about to sit down, froze mid-motion. After a moment's hesitation, she thought he might be injured and need some help, so without thinking too much, she reached out and opened the door to the bathroom.

The next instant, what she saw made her eyes widen in shock, frozen on the spot, at a loss for what to do.

Before her was a vision of male perfection, skin fair, body lean and tall, slender yet strong. Tiny droplets of water rolled down the smooth skin adding an inexplicably sexy allure.

But—

No matter how perfect, no matter how beautiful the physique, this person... was naked!

Clearly, the other party was also stunned for a moment, but he reacted faster. With a quick stretch of his arm, he grabbed a towel to cover himself, his handsome face turning dark, and he asked coldly, "Who are you?"
