Chapter 291 -291 He’s Trying Hard to Adapt to the Role of a Husband

Ye Chuyi forcibly calmed her emotions and drove back to the hospital.

Actually, there were no surgeries scheduled for the night, but the hospital gave her a sense of peace. At times like tonight, it wasn’t suitable to go home and face Sheng Tingyuan. It was more suitable to work on her paper.

But when she returned to her office, the moment she entered, she saw Sheng Tingyuan sitting on the sofa.

Her steps halted, and she watched him for a long time without speaking.

Sheng Tingyuan stood up and came forward to take her hand, “Where have you been? Didn’t you tell me you were going to work overtime today? I came here but didn’t see you around, and everyone I asked also said they didn’t know where you went.”

Ye Chuyi withdrew her hand without a change of expression, “I went back to the Ye Family home. There was a little situation.”

“What happened?”

“I’ll tell you in a couple of days.”

She refused to speak, and Sheng Tingyuan didn’t press her, but instead asked, “Have you eaten yet?”

Although it was unlikely and would probably arouse Sheng Tingyuan’s suspicion that she hadn’t had a meal after returning to the Ye Family home, Ye Chuyi still told the truth, “No, I haven’t.”

As expected, Sheng Tingyuan was somewhat surprised, but he didn’t ask further, “Auntie Wang prepared dinner, I brought some over for you, it should still be warm.”

He had thought she was working late, so he had taken the trouble to bring the food Auntie Wang made for her.

He didn’t expect that she had gone to the Ye Family home, nor did he expect that she would not have eaten there.

What happened at the Ye Family?

A flicker of doubt crossed Sheng Tingyuan’s mind, but he didn’t pay too much attention to it.

He opened the meal box and laid out the food on the table, “Eat up!”

Guilt bubbled up in Ye Chuyi’s heart again.

Sheng Tingyuan seemed to be treating her better and better, always trying to adapt to the role of a husband and consistently showing concern for her.

Yet she never really considered herself his wife and seldom showed concern for him.

It was actually quite unfair to him.

She pushed the meal box forward slightly, “Let’s eat together!”

“I’ve already eaten, this was all brought for you.”

Sheng Tingyuan sat back down on the sofa and watched Ye Chuyi eat, feeling that the moment was very precious.

But Ye Chuyi sat uneasily, finding even her favorite fried meatballs seemed less appetizing than usual.

She barely finished her meal and, using the excuse that she still had work to do, she sent Sheng Tingyuan away.

She was pushing him out, and there was clear dissatisfaction from him, but he said nothing, just gently hugged her and then packed up the meal box and left.

Ye Chuyi stood by the window, watching him leave the office building and head towards the parking lot.

But what she didn’t expect was that after he walked only a few steps, he suddenly looked up in her direction.

She failed to hide in time, and he caught her gaze squarely.

He smiled at her, then waved his hand and left.

Ye Chuyi sighed, suppressed the complex emotions inside her, and sat back down at her desk to continue working on her paper.

Then for several days in a row, she didn’t spend the night at Sheng Tingyuan’s villa.

But the members of the Ye Family still hadn’t come to any conclusions. She went to the Ye Family home every day, but apart from seeing Ye Shuangyin getting better and better, she didn’t find anything useful.

Ye Zhengrong still disagreed with revealing her identity, reluctant to let Ye Shuangyin marry Sheng Tingyuan.

Yet Ye Shuangyin had already started to buy new clothes and jewelry, preparing to marry Sheng Tingyuan.

Ye Chuyi didn’t want to wait any longer.

She couldn’t keep telling Sheng Tingyuan that she was on night shifts every day, could she? Not returning for several days in a row, he had already become suspicious.

She planned to go to the Ye Family home for one last time that night. Regardless of whether they could come to a conclusion, she would tell Sheng Tingyuan the truth.
