"How could I possibly interfere in her marriage? If I were to disrupt her marriage, I wouldn’t even count as a human..."
Rong Yan is actually Chu Xi, his own cousin, and he’s not a beast!
Chu Aotian saw his face flush with agitation, furrowing his brows and waving his hand, "Alright, I’m just reminding you, you don’t need to get so worked up. I’ve watched you grow up, I know what kind of person you are, you don’t need to say things like ’not considered human’ to prove yourself."
Qin Jun, "..." He was being serious, not trying to prove himself.
Chu Aotian chatted with him about his experiences over the past few days, feeling much better, and then asked, "How did your aunt suddenly end up hospitalized?"
Qin Jun didn’t know how to tell him, so he answered vaguely, "Just... just for the reason you mentioned earlier."
"It’s really for your sister?"
"Yeah."
Qin Jun was afraid that if he asked more, he might spill the beans.
He posed himself, lifted his gaze to Chu Aotian, and said, "Uncle, why don’t you go in and keep Aunt pany? Maybe she wants to talk to you."
Chu Aotian vaguely sensed there might be more behind his words, "Is there something about your aunt’s hospitalization that I don’t know about?"
Qin Jun didn’t anticipate his keen insight, bit his teeth and kept it together, forcing a smile, "How could there be."
He continued indistinctly, "I just think it’s been a while since Aunt has seen you, she might have a lot to say to you."
"Is it just that?"
Qin Jun’s tongue was almost tied in a knot, holding his nod, his eyes clear and filled with sincerity, "That’s all, Uncle, you’re overthinking it, would I ever deceive you?"
Chu Aotian slowly retracted his gaze, casually saying, "I just feel like you’re speaking strangely today, like you’re hiding something from me."
Truly hiding something. Unable to admit it. Qin Jun forced a fake smile, his eyes evasive, "I’m not hiding anything from you, Uncle, you’re overthinking it."
Chu Aotian also felt it was unlikely he was hiding anything, so he gave a nod and looked towards the ward, "I’ll go in and see your aunt."
"Alright."
Qin Jun couldn’t wait for him to go in and convince Jiang Chenyue, Jiang Chenyue was weak and refused to eat, even the doctor in charge said if this continued, she might faint again due to malnutrition.
He eagerly followed Chu Aotian to the ward door, watched as Chu Aotian went in, and closed the door.
He stood at the door eavesdropping for a while, seeing that there was no sound inside, he furrowed his brow worriedly, walked to the corridor’s edge, hesitated repeatedly, then took out his phone and called Rong Yan.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is powered off."
"Why is it off?"
He put down the phone, then remembered that Rong Yan’s phone had been confiscated by that fool Zhou Xia, and she didn’t have her phone with her!
"Just at this time..."
He restlessly paced the corridor, walked back and forth twice, gazed at the night sky, gritted his teeth and made a decision, took his long legs, and quickly left the hospital.

The Li Family’s Old Mansion was brightly lit.
Cui Jiangjing, Fu Yi, and Gu Linxi were all there.
Lin Zhiya was thoughtful, even inviting Estelle and Zhu Zhu over.
The house was bustling like a festival.
A few women were playing with Little Baby, while the two big men were being detained by Lin Zhiya to help in the kitchen.
When Rong Yan got home, she smelled the rich aroma of hotpot as soon as she entered the door.
Cui Jiangjing and Fu Yi, each wearing an apron featuring the little tiger design that she and Little Baby bought at the supermarket, came out one after another to greet her.
