Chapter 270 -270: Not Telling Me, But Telling Cong Ningyuan

Ye Chuyi had been working non-stop for three days.

Because she had been fired by Xu Bingwen before, she hadn’t been able to perform any surgeries for several days and had to work overtime these past few days to complete the surgeries she owed.

Today, when she got home, it was nearly midnight.

As soon as she entered, she saw Sheng Tingyuan as usual, working in the living room while waiting for her.

However, his expression today seemed different from the previous days, and he appeared to be in a bad mood.

Ye Chuyi found it strange, “What’s wrong, did someone upset you?”

“No.”

Sheng Tingyuan responded indifferently, set down the documents he was holding, stood up, walked over to her, took her bag and placed it on the cabinet, and then took her hand and led her toward the dining room.

“Are you hungry, I asked Auntie Wang to make you a late-night snack.”

Ye Chuyi had gotten used to him holding her hand lately and didn’t struggle like before, “Hungry.” Very hungry, doing surgeries really takes a lot of energy.

Upon entering the dining room, food was already laid out on the table.

Auntie Wang came in, placed a bowl of fish maw and red date chicken soup in front of her, “Madam, please drink it while it’s hot. You’ve been working too hard lately; you should nourish your body.”

“Okay, thank you, Auntie Wang.”

Auntie Wang said “You’re welcome,” then tactfully excused herself from the dining room and left for the day.

Ye Chuyi took a sip of the chicken soup and was healed by the rich and savory taste, feeling most of the day’s fatigue disappear.

In addition to the chicken soup, there were her favorite fried meatballs on the table.

There were many meatballs today. Ye Chuyi picked one up for Sheng Tingyuan first, “This first one is for President Sheng. Will your mood improve a bit if you eat this?”

Sheng Tingyuan, observing the redness in her eyes, pushed the meatballs directly in front of her, “Don’t worry about me, just eat, and go rest early after you’re finished.”

Ye Chuyi didn’t stand on ceremony with him and quickly began to eat.

However, she didn’t dare to eat too much, since it was already late at night; she stopped after eating just enough to fill her six-tenths full.

After the late-night snack, she went to the bathroom to wash up.

When she came out of the bathroom, she saw that Sheng Tingyuan was still sitting in the living room.

She went downstairs and approached him, “What exactly happened, why haven’t you gone to sleep yet? Is there anything I can help with?”

Sheng Tingyuan looked up at her for a while, then took her hand, pulled her with a strong tug, and directly dragged her into his arms.

Ye Chuyi let out an exclamation, instinctively wanting to escape, but Sheng Tingyuan wrapped his arms around her waist, pressed her onto his lap, and wouldn’t let her get up.

Ye Chuyi was annoyed, “I’m kindly concerned about you, why on earth are you playing dirty and taking advantage of me?”

“I’m your husband; it’s not taking advantage. Have you forgotten our relationship, only considering this place a hotel?”

Ye Chuyi was speechless, staring at him for a long time without being able to say a word.

She indeed treated his villa like a five-star hotel, and this five-star hotel even had a star-rated chef; her biggest motivation to come home each day was the delicious food made by Auntie Wang.

As for Sheng Tingyuan himself, she tended to ignore him.

“Why didn’t you tell me when something happened at your hospital?”

“What happened at the hospital?”

“Your dismissal.”

“Oh, that. It’s not a big deal, so I didn’t mention it.”

“You didn’t tell me, but you told Cong Ningyuan?”

Ye Chuyi was taken aback, looking at him somewhat surprised, “Is your bad mood tonight because of this?”

Sheng Tingyuan didn’t speak.

Ye Chuyi knew he was acknowledging it and shook her head helplessly, “I thought something happened. When I came back, I saw your serious face, and anyone who didn’t know better would think I owed you money.”

“I wish you would owe me money.”

It’s not just about owing money; she didn’t even want to owe him any favors.

Something big had happened at Dome, and since her return, she hadn’t mentioned a single word about it.

If he hadn’t seen the news today and came across Doctor Anxin’s dismissal by chance, he would still be in the dark, clueless that Xu Bingwen dared to use her as a scapegoat!

He held her, and his nose was filled with the light and pleasant fragrance of her body, feeling the warmth of her skin through the thin silk pajamas around her waist.

She was in his arms, yet he felt he was very, very far away from her.

This gave him an indescribable sense of anxiety.
