Chapter 421: I Was About to Love Her to Death Then

Jiang Lai's good mood was still disturbed a bit by Gu Zhiyan's appearance; she and Ke Zhongyu did not continue the walk and took a car back to Number Ten Courtyard on Yanping Road.

Ke Zhongyu saw Jiang Lai to the doorstep, lifted a hand and used his fingerprint to unlock the door, slightly raised his chin to signal Jiang Lai to go in: "Rest early."

Jiang Lai nodded and proactively gave Ke Zhongyu a hug.

Ke Zhongyu gently patted her back, his chin resting on her crown, and said: "Think less about the Gu family, think more about me, and also the two dogs at Number One."

Jiang Lai didn't collapse at once; she laughed in his arms: "I haven't seen Da De and Xiao Mu in a long time."

"Never mind, they don't care." Ke Zhongyu had previously tried to lure Jiang Lai over using Da De and Xiao Mu, but now that's unnecessary; his car can drive into Jiang Lai's residence, and his fingerprint can open Jiang Lai's door.

Jiang Lai released her: "After the press conference ends, I'll go walk them."

Ke Zhongyu lightly poked her face, gave a "Hmm" sound, and left only after seeing the door in front close.

He said there was no need to worry about Da De and Xiao Mu, but after returning to Yi Hao Bie Shu, he still personally went to the dog nest in the corner of the courtyard, recorded a video, and sent it to Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai also sent him a video, showing the cold orchid on the bedside table, with only the last bud unopened.

Even on the same plant, each bud's blooming period can differ.

Ke Zhongyu's mouth corner held a faint smile, he put away his phone, and just saw Mo Yi come out from inside: "Young Master, Doctor Chi has arrived, drunk."

"What's going on?" Ke Zhongyu was a bit surprised that Chi Ce didn't look for him on the phone, but came directly.

Still drinking.

He walked in; Chi Ce lowered his head and sat on the sofa, legs spread, elbows on his knees; hearing the voice, he looked up, his eyes full of red veins.

Ke Zhongyu, just as he approached, smelled a strong alcohol scent; he stopped, turned his head and asked Mo Yi: "Hangover soup?"

Mo Yi: "It's being boiled; I don't know what's happening, and you won't tell me even if I ask."

"Ke Zhongyu." The drunken Doctor Chi directly addressed the boss by name.

Ke Zhongyu sat opposite him: "I still want to ask you to go give Fu Youqing a gentle breeze by her pillow, and bring her younger brother less around Jiang Lai."

When he mentioned Fu Youqing's name, Chi Ce's eyes quickly filled with tears.

Ke Zhongyu frowned: "What's wrong with you two?"

Chi Ce held back his tears, croaked with a hoarse voice: "She wants to marry Li Dan."

Ke Zhongyu's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise; thinking of the Li family's and Fu family's relationship, it wasn't surprising.

"Is it her intention with Li Dan, or the Fu family's intention with the Li family?"

"Fu family and Li family." Chi Ce lowered his gaze, "Li Dan agreed, and she didn't oppose."

Ke Zhongyu had little romantic experience, only Jiang Lai, so he couldn't offer a viable solution to the problem between Chi Ce and Fu Youqing, but he sent a picture to Jiang Lai.

Chi Ce looked up, his gaze melancholy: "What are you doing? Are you trying to mock me? Is there anyone who does what you do, being both boss and friend!"

Ke Zhongyu didn't argue with the shouting drunk, and slowly said: "A Lai and Fu Youqing get along well; maybe she can help you gather some information."

Chi Ce's attitude changed instantly: "Jiang Lai is still the best; you really know how to find a wife; actually I can too, she does it better than me, I liked her a long, long time ago."

Ke Zhongyu: "Did you tell Fu Youqing that?"

Chi Ce shook his head, feeling very aggrieved: "She only likes my technique." The next second he giggled foolishly, "Fortunately I still have something she likes."

Ke Zhongyu: "..."

He lowered his gaze and looked at his phone.

Jiang Lai: 【In the afternoon, Youqing told me about this; her dad wants her to marry Li Dan】

Ke Zhongyu: 【Fu Youqing's attitude is】

Jiang Lai: 【She feels that being born in the Fu family, she should bear this responsibility.】

Ke Zhongyu's expression remained calm; such matters are not new in the elite circles, while free love is the fresh thing.

Jiang Lai: 【Youqing said she never thought about Li Dan】

Jiang Lai: 【I also asked Chi Ce what to do; he said he didn't know.】

Ke Zhongyu noticed Chi Ce constantly craning his head toward here, and he covered the phone so he couldn't see.

Chi Ce, eyes reddened, asked: "What does Jiang Lai say?"

Ke Zhongyu: "She didn't say much. What are you planning? I mean, your professional matters."

Chi Ce suddenly stood up, accusing: "You don't even want me, your private doctor!"

Ke Zhongyu's ears were nearly deafened; if it weren't for taking his heartbreak into account, he would have definitely deducted

Chi Ce's salary.

"Aren't you going to continue doing drug development?"

"Right here in the country."

"I'll invest in you; gather your own team to do it; if successful, you and Fu Youqing will be close."

Chi Ce understood this reasoning: "I've been doing it all along, failed several times; when I succeed, she and Li Dan will have children."

Ke Zhongyu stood up, patted his shoulder: "Do it first."

"Hangover soup is ready." Mo Yi carried the hangover soup over.

Ke Zhongyu told Mo Yi: "Has the guest room been cleared?"

Chi Ce took the hangover soup, called out 'Mo Yi', suddenly burst into tears sobbing, Mo Yi exclaimed 'Ai yo', hurried forward to comfort her, and all the sayings like 'there are plenty of other fish in the sea' came out.

Chi Ce took the hangover soup, called Mo Yi's name, then suddenly wept profusely; Mo Yi let out an "Oh dear", rushed forward to comfort him, and even quoted "Wherever the horizon lies, there is always fragrant grass."

Chi Ce, still tearful, said firmly: "No, I only love her; I've loved her for seventeen years."

Mo Yi startled: "You liked Miss Fu since you were ten years old?"

Chi Ce nodded heavily: "Yes, she's so overbearing and beautiful, hands on hips asking who I am, why I'm at the Ke family; at that time I almost wanted to love her to death."

Mo Yi felt both sorry and amused for him; looking up, she saw her own Young Master standing there, holding a phone recording, obviously meant to send to Miss Jiang.

Chi Ce: "I know I'm not worthy of her; she's a golden branch and jade leaf, and I'm just a small doctor."

Mo Yi: "You shouldn't say that; Doctor Chi, who did both master's and doctorate consecutively, is so impressive."

【61】 Ke Zhongyu withdrew his hand, signaled Mo Yi to help the person back to the room to sleep, entered the bedroom himself, finished washing up, called Jiang Lai, and discussed Chi Ce and Fu Youqing's matter for a while.

Jiang Lai was tasked with checking Fu Youqing's attitude toward Chi Ce.

The two chatted on and on until they both fell asleep.

……

Late at night.

Ke Yi found his son Ke Chi and inquired about his situation at Cloud Way, asking whether General Manager Xu Jing had allowed him to access the core.

Ke Chi looked out into the ink‑black night and gave a light laugh: "What core to touch? Xu Jing, this old woman, is guarding against me; I don't know what benefits the elder brother gave her, making her so loyal."

Ke Yi fell silent for a moment: "Our ties are all overseas; you can't get control of Cloud Way's core, so we'll find it hard to act. Isn't Xu Jing single?"

Ke Chi gazed deeply at his father and said, "She's over thirty, I'm only in my twenties." How could he stomach that?

Ke Yi patted his son's shoulder and said, "Those who accomplish great things are not bound by trivialities."

Ke Chi fell silent for a moment: "Let's talk later. I saw the elder brother's girlfriend today; Jiang Lai is still a member of the Gu family, right?"

Ke Yi nodded.

"The Ke family will eventually have to marry into the Gu family." Ke Chi's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Since Jiang Lai is truly the Gu family's miss, what about that fake Gu Yinxue? I remember Gu Yinxue really likes the elder brother and wants to marry him."

Ke Yi read his son's expression and said, "That's not bad as a cooperative partner."

Ke Chi said, "The Ke Clan has always been in the hands of the third uncle's household; don't the eldest and second aunts have any ideas? The second aunt is alone and destitute—never mind—but the eldest aunt has two sons and a daughter; are those shares enough to split?"

Ke Yi said, "Over these years I've kept in touch with your eldest aunt; I've had less contact with your second aunt, who is actually close to the third uncle's household—I just don't know how much of it is genuine and how much is pretence."

"I'll find time to visit the eldest aunt." Ke Chi smiled meaningfully: "B City really is a good place."
