"We're already husband and wife. There's no need to be so polite." Tang Xue looked at him shyly.
At the thought that she was now the woman who had cured Jiang Ye's eyes, Tang Xue suddenly felt much more confident. She reached out to hold Jiang Ye's hand and said coquettishly, "Ah-Ye, I'm a little sleepy. Can you accompany me to sleep for a while?"
Tang Xue lifted the blanket and wanted to sleep with Jiang Ye so that they could quickly recover their intimacy.
Jiang Ye stood up. "I still have matters to work on."
"What is it? Can't you accompany me? I've been scared out of my wits these past few days…" Tang Xue complained aggrievedly.
Ever since he found Tang Xue, she had not stopped talking. This made Jiang Ye feel a little uncomfortable.
"Chen Chen is missing. We haven't found him yet. I'm going to the police station to ask," Jiang Ye explained.
When she heard the word 'Chen Chen', Tang Xue's pupils suddenly constricted. Then, she quickly let go of Jiang Ye's sleeve and revealed an obedient and cute smile. "Then, you should go. I'll wait for you to come back."
After Jiang Ye left, the cute smile on Tang Xue's face immediately disappeared. She hurriedly took out her phone and dialed a number. "Are you sure? Is he really dead? You don't know? How do you do things…"
After hanging up the phone, Tang Xue frowned and dialed Aunt Wang's number. She asked viciously, "How's that b*tch?"
"It's fine. She's already locked up. When are you coming over to take a look?" Aunt Wang's fawning voice sounded on the phone.
"I have to stay with Jiang Ye for the time being, so I don't have time to go there. Keep a close eye on her, understand?" After getting Aunt Wang's reply, Tang Xue instructed, "Do as I say. Just make sure she's not dead. Mm, remember to report her situation to me at all times. I'll hang up first."

Jiang Ye rushed to the hospital in the city center. The lights in the emergency room were still on, and a few police officers were whispering outside.
Just over forty minutes ago, Chen Chen's car had collided with a cargo truck. The truck driver's life was not in danger, but Chen Chen's car had been sent flying. He was still under medical care.
The police came over to verify the situation. Seeing that Chen Chen would not wake up anytime soon, they then left.
Chen Chen's younger sister, who was in university, also took leave when she heard the news. She cried her heart out at the entrance of the resuscitation room.
The newly hired secretary, Song An, brought the hospital's surgical consent form over. Jiang Ye signed it without even looking at it. "Hire the best doctor. Deduct the money from my account."
Song An nodded and was about to leave when Jiang Ye instructed him to arrange for someone to investigate something.
When it was almost midnight, the resuscitation surgery was finally completed. The doctor came out and took off his mask. He shook his head helplessly. "We tried our best, but the patient's brain is seriously injured and he's still unconscious."
"Is his life in danger?"
"Not at the moment."
Jiang Ye heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "When will he wake up?"
"I'm not sure. He might wake up soon, or…" The doctor did not say it too bluntly. He only told Jiang Ye and the patient's family to be mentally prepared.
Jiang Ye took a deep breath and felt terrible. He stood outside the ward for a while and looked at Chen Chen, who was covered in tubes. He got up and went to the police station.
It was almost dawn when he left the police station.
Jiang Ye listened in at the police station for the entire night, but the truck driver only said that he did not see Chen Chen's car. This traffic accident was purely an accident.
The police chief knew Jiang Ye's identity and hurriedly chased after him. Then, he handed Jiang Ye a cigarette. "Mr. Jiang, it seems that there's nothing else we can do for this case. Do you want to pursue the matter or settle it privately?"
Jiang Ye didn't take the cigarette. He nodded politely at the police chief and said, "Let him go. I'll investigate it myself later."
"Alright, then if you need any help, feel free to ask." The police chief said a few more polite words before turning around and leaving.
Jiang Ye returned to the river view villa that his grandfather had bought for him on his coming-of-age birthday. He first dealt with some important documents and asked Song An to arrange a meeting with a few higher-ups of the company. It was almost noon. He slept for three hours before setting off to Hai Cheng's First Gynecological Hospital to pick up Tang Xue.
Tang Xue came out of the ward and pretended to protect her stomach carefully. She smiled sweetly and said, "This is our child. I must protect him well."
Jiang Ye looked at Tang Xue's stomach expressionlessly.
When she reached home and saw the luxurious villa, Tang Xue was so excited that she almost screamed. Her judgment was right. Jiang Ye had returned to his peak. From now on, she would be the most respected Mrs. Jiang of the Jiang family!
Her good days were finally here!
