Yan Hechuan's allergic reactions vary in intensity towards different unfamiliar women.
With someone like her, Hechuan only develops a mild rash that quickly subsides.
With other women, he must rely on taking allergy medication in advance to avoid a reaction.
It is precisely because of this that Tang Yinyao confidently believes she is Yan Hechuan's destined partner, that they are a match made in heaven.
Unfortunately, his attitude towards her has always been lukewarm.
Tang Yinyao raised her wrist to glance at her watch.
"Alright, then you take good care of Hechuan here."
"It's almost time, I need to get to the airport."
Meng Xiang obediently nodded, even waving enthusiastically, his peach-blossom eyes blinking.
"Okay, take care, senior sister."
Watching Tang Yinyao and Assistant Chen leave, he finally let out a breath he had been holding in his chest.
Then, he picked up his phone.
He saw an unread message.
Rich Sister: "I saw Tang Yinyao's car in the parking lot. To avoid exposure, I'll take the person away first."
Oh, so Brother Yan was taken away by Xia Liuyue.
...
Rewind the timeline to ten minutes ago.
Xia Liuyue had just gotten out of her car when she saw a familiar license plate driving in not far away.
It was Tang Yinyao's car!
Her eyesight was excellent; there was also a man in a black suit and glasses in the car, who should be Yan Hechuan's assistant.
She hadn't expected that because of Yan Hechuan's allergy incident, the phone matter would be discovered ahead of schedule.
Xia Liuyue, calm and unhurried, took the elevator directly to the infusion hall and spotted Yan Hechuan sitting there at a glance.
She switched to a different voice.
"Are you patient 2133, Yan Hechuan?"
Yan Hechuan nodded.
"How have you been positioning your hand? Have you been moving it around? The needle has been dislodged because of your movements!" Her tone carried a hint of urgency and reproach.
Yan Hechuan looked bewildered, but he couldn't see.
He replied with steady composure, "I'm sorry, I'm blind, so it might have been accidental. Could you trouble you to reinsert it for me?"
"Come with me."
Xia Liuyue pulled him into the nurses' station.
At that moment, there was only one nurse on duty at the station, who looked at them in confusion.
Xia Liuyue pointed at herself, shook her head, typed a message on her phone, and showed it to her.
"Hello, I am mute. My boyfriend is blind. He feels the IV needle is a bit uncomfortable. Could you please reinsert it for him?"
"If it's okay, please just nod, no need to make a sound."
The young nurse gave her a look full of pity.
How pitiful, such a beautiful girl is actually mute.
And her boyfriend is so handsome, yet blind.
Truly, heaven is jealous of beauty.
The nurse nodded and promptly reinserted the needle for Yan Hechuan.
Right after finishing, the phone at the nurses' station rang. She answered; it was about a patient being urgently brought in.
She had to leave but glanced worriedly at the two people in front of her.
Xia Liuyue smiled and waved at her, then showed her the phone again.
"It's fine, you go ahead. We can manage on our own."
The nurse nodded, reassured, and then left.
Yan Hechuan sat dazedly by a chair near the nurses' station. Xia Liuyue hung up the IV bag and, using the same voice from before, said:
"Your needle has been reinserted. Wait here for your family to pick you up. A patient was urgently brought in, I need to go down and help."
Yan Hechuan nodded.
Xia Liuyue circled back from near the elevator and returned. This time, her voice changed to Tang Yinyao's brisk and efficient tone.
"Hechuan! How are you? Is your allergy any better?"
Her voice was slightly exaggerated.
Yan Hechuan twitched the corner of his mouth, recalling the scene that had just happened, and said decisively, "Yinyao, Meng Xiang can take good care of me here."
"You should go home."
"Go back to your own home. We aren't married yet, it's not suitable for you to stay overnight at my place."
"It's not good for your reputation."
Rigid and reserved.
Like an old fuddy-duddy.
But Xia Liuyue wasn't flustered at all. She deliberately clung closer and said,
"I'm not leaving. Assistant Chen just called me, saying he's coming up to see you too."
"I'll go down first to meet him. Later, I'll take care of you all night."
A hint of impatience showed between Yan Hechuan's brows.
Xia Liuyue continued to stir up trouble:
"What's wrong? I'm your fiancée. Why don't you want to see me?"
"Or have you fallen for someone else? I knew it, you weren't sincere with me from the start."
"Jiashu said you weren't serious about me, and I argued with him. Hechuan, you've disappointed me so much!"
She chattered incessantly in his ear.
Yan Hechuan felt as if there were hundreds of ducks quacking around his ears, his whole mind in complete disarray.
Finally, he heard the sound of Tang Yinyao stomping away in a huff.
"I'll bring Assistant Chen up first, then we'll talk."
After the footsteps faded away.
Not long after, another voice sounded.
It was the voice of the nurse who had just helped him with the needle.
Xia Liuyue remained completely unflustered, even enjoying herself.
She even indulged in role-playing, saying:
"Mr. Yan, just now when I went down for the emergency patient, I met a man in a black suit who said he was your assistant. He was very agitated because he couldn't reach you."
"We have a public phone at the nurses' station. Would you like to give him a call first?"
Yan Hechuan nodded: "Okay."
The timing was perfect. So, Assistant Chen received Yan Hechuan's call instructing him to leave and also received the order to take away that 'troublemaking' Tang Yinyao who had been by his side.
...
Back in the infusion hall.
Meng Xiang stood there bewildered.
He didn't know who to look for now.
He didn't know where Yan Hechuan was? He didn't know where Rich Sister was either?
Just as he was looking around in confusion, he saw Xia Liuyue supporting Yan Hechuan, walking back unhurriedly from not far away.
He was about to call out when he saw Xia Liuyue give a slight shake of her head.
He immediately understood and closed his mouth.
"Alright, this was your spot earlier. Please sit down, Mr. Yan." She used a different voice.
Meng Xiang's eyes beside them nearly popped out.
Wow, isn't Rich Sister also a voice actress?
Freely switching voices like that.
Yan Hechuan gave a slight nod and said, "Thank you, nurse."
"You're welcome."
Xia Liuyue smiled brightly at Meng Xiang and said, "You're Mr. Yan's friend, right? Remember to take good care of him. I'll head back now."
The last part, "head back now," carried a double meaning.
It meant Xia Liuyue wouldn't be going back to the Golden Bay Hillside Villa with them.
After all, the real Tang Yinyao had just been sent away, so it wasn't suitable for her, the fake one, to appear again.
"Okay!" Meng Xiang nodded repeatedly.
He had no idea how Rich Sister had managed it just now.
She had perfectly avoided the danger.
He had only one word on his mind: "admiration"!
Just as Xia Liuyue was about to leave, Yan Hechuan suddenly called out to her.
"Wait!"
