Chapter 422: Chapter 395: Why Did He Come to See Her?
"Mr. Leng, this is my first time in T City. Shouldn’t you show me some local hospitality?"
At the airport exit, Leng Yan pulled his luggage out, while the new secretary who had returned with him caught up and asked excitedly.
"There’s a flight from T City back to X City. If you buy a ticket now, you can still make it. Didn’t you say you had an urgent matter at home to attend to? Is it no longer urgent, or was there never anything at all?"
Leng Yan stopped and cast a cold glance at the secretary. When he was about to return, the former secretary called to say she had an urgent family matter and had to go back, so he approved her leave. There was no direct flight from London to X City, so they had to detour to T City and then transfer.
If it weren’t for the fact that the former secretary was diligent and highly capable, he would’ve fired this girl a long time ago. Fortunately, after returning, she would be leaving the position. Thus, he suppressed his displeasure and let her come back with him.
"Of course, I really do have something," the new secretary said awkwardly, quickly waving goodbye to him.
On the plane, she deliberately pretended to sleep, leaning her head on his shoulder. Unexpectedly, instead of taking advantage, he gently pushed her away, making her lean back on her seat.
Is there really such a rare good man?
She watched Leng Yan get into a taxi from a distance, sighed lightly, and couldn’t help but think of the photos he cherished. Jealousy flashed in her eyes. He must love that woman very much; otherwise, no matter how beautiful other women are, they’re just clouds. But why does he always look so unhappy every day? She couldn’t understand.
"Driver, to the Leng Family!"
Leng Yan got into the taxi and said calmly.
He called home and found out that Leng Siyan had been hospitalized and immediately called Li Qiu, learning that Leng Siyan’s condition was stable. So he planned to send an important document back to the company first, then go to the hospital to see him.
Having left for almost a month, returning to T City again, Leng Yan looked at the winter sights outside, which were becoming increasingly desolate, and couldn’t help but curl a faint, indifferent smile at the corners of his lips. As he passed a dessert shop, his heart skipped a beat, and the pain hit him again.
That day, he told Tan Qing here to pursue Wen Nuan. Now, are the two of them together?
Closing his eyes tightly, letting the pain pass, he casually picked up a newspaper left in the car to read. Two minutes later, his eyes suddenly fixed on a picture, a heart-wrenching pain surged, his face turned pale with no color, and the hand holding the newspaper slipped down.
The car in the newspaper was clearly Nuannuan’s, and the text and images seemed to be poisoned, scorching his eyes harshly.
The report was simple, stating there was a car accident at an intersection; the woman suffered minor injuries, and the man had leg injuries. It also mentioned which hospital they were sent to, which was a well-known hospital in T City.
"Driver, to XX Hospital, please hurry."
Leng Yan whispered hoarsely, his throat aching painfully, his broken heart tightly curled up. Looking at Wen Nuan’s phone number saved on his phone, his fingers trembled slightly, ultimately shaking his head.
He would first find the doctor to learn about Nuannuan and Leng Ye’s condition. If she was fine, he would visit Leng Ye and then quietly leave.
As for Nuannuan...
He would secretly take a look. The woman he longed for day and night, he had already imprinted her deeply in his mind, yet he still couldn’t suppress that desperate longing.
**
Wen Nuan finally waited for Leng Ye to fall asleep, tidied up his ward, sat by him for a while before going out. She saw a figure from afar and suddenly stopped, almost stumbling forward.
Hiding behind a potted plant, she wiped her eyes to make sure she wasn’t mistaken, her heart trembling as if about to leap out of her throat. She saw him asking the nurse something, and her lips curled into a sudden cold smile.
Why did he suddenly come back, and even come to the hospital? If he knew about Leng Siyan, then he had come to the wrong place.
Could it be for her?
She thought to herself with a bitter smile.
Wen Nuan, since when did you learn to be narcissistic? If he knew about her and Leng Ye’s accident, he would also come to see Leng Ye, right? Based on her previous understanding of him, Leng Yan is a person who values blood ties. Although his relationship with Leng Ye isn’t good, he still regards him as an elder brother.
"Thank you."
After simply inquiring about Wen Nuan and Leng Ye’s ward and situation, Leng Yan felt a mix of joy and worry.
The joy was that Nuannuan was safe.
The worry was that Leng Ye’s condition was not optimistic.
The nurse said that she had just seen Wen Nuan in Leng Ye’s ward. After thanking the nurse, Leng Yan hesitated for a moment and walked towards Leng Ye’s ward.
Watching his back, Wen Nuan smiled gently. Indeed, her guess was right; he had come to see Leng Ye.
Blood is thicker than water. She, who was not even truly a former wife, why would he come to see her?
Glancing at the two infatuated nurses watching Leng Yan’s back while walking, Wen Nuan suddenly remembered something, her face turned deathly pale. Coming out from behind the big plant, she hurriedly intercepted them, found out they hadn’t mentioned her pregnancy, and her complexion gradually returned to normal.
With a smile rising on her lips, she laughed softly, but her heart felt cold and thin. Looking down at her still-flat belly, she quietly wiped away the tears about to spill.
Sorry baby, mom doesn’t want to tell dad about your existence. Forgive mom’s selfishness...
Through the glass window, Leng Yan did not see Wen Nuan in Leng Ye’s ward, and a complicated feeling surged in his heart.
He should’ve felt relieved, but more than that, there was an overwhelming sadness and loneliness.
He feared seeing her, yet he was infinitely longing for her.
Leng Ye was sleeping, and he sighed softly in his heart when his phone rang. It was his assistant asking about the documents, and he answered lightly before turning to leave.
Based on the nurse’s description, Leng Ye should have just fallen asleep. He planned to take the documents to the hospital entrance, wait for his assistant to pick them up, and then come back to see him.
Leng Ye’s sleep was not good; he woke up again after just half an hour.
Not seeing Wen Nuan by his side, he panicked: "Nuannuan..."
"I’m here." Wen Nuan rushed in hastily, the door was ajar, she had just been standing outside, watching Leng Yan’s figure gradually disappear from the hospital, her mind blank, her heartbeat vivid but seemingly in a state of suspension.
He came, he left...
All unrelated to her.
"Why did you wake up so soon?" Wen Nuan rushed over and raised the head of the bed to make Leng Ye more comfortable and asked softly.
Leng Ye’s lips curved in a self-deprecating smile: "I had a dream where you left."
Perhaps he was too afraid of losing her, so in his dreams, he always saw her. Saw her crying, her laughing, even her looking at his leg, shaking her head and sighing before leaving. Knowing that Nuannuan wasn’t such a person, he couldn’t help but fear.
"Don’t let your imagination run wild." Wen Nuan looked seriously into Leng Ye’s eyes and sighed, "Joe, he’s back..."
