Chapter 1701: Still Latched Onto

Hearing this, the look in Xie Wanyi's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he gave a soft "Oh."

Seeing him like this, Jiang Motian suddenly felt... as if she had done something wrong and bullied an honest man.

No, that's not right; what kind of honest man is Xie Wanyi?

He is the most calculating person there is!

Jiang Motian reined in her overflowing sympathy and returned to the main topic: "Give me your assistant's number."

"No need, when Xiaolin gets busy, he can't answer the phone. If you have things to do, go ahead; I don't need looking after here."

No sooner had Xie Wanyi finished speaking than he began to cough.

He coughed very violently, his face turning red from the effort.

This time, Jiang Motian did not hesitate, reaching out to help pat his back.

She did not hide the worry in her heart, frowning as she said: "Look at you, and you say you don't need looking after?"

Xie Wanyi wanted to respond, but he coughed even more violently.

After a moment, he finally calmed down slowly.

Jiang Motian handed Xie Wanyi a glass of water and asked: "Do you cough often lately?"

"It's not exactly often, but during the day, it's easy to start coughing."

Thinking of the diagnosis the doctor had just given, Jiang Motian couldn't help but urge: "You don't need to live a precarious life anymore; you must take good care of yourself."

"Mm."

"What about food? Are you still eating takeout?"

This question made Xie Wanyi's eyes flicker, and he gave a vague "Mm."

I knew it would be like this!

Jiang Motian shook her head and then said: "This won't do; you need to find a nanny who can take care of your three meals."

Jiang Motian actually had some experience when it came to finding nannies.

She began to introduce the idea to Xie Wanyi.

In truth, what Jiang Motian was saying wasn't anything of great importance.

But Xie Wanyi just really liked listening to it.

Because he felt it was very warm.

In this warm atmosphere, Xie Wanyi's eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

In the end, he actually fell asleep.

Looking at the sleeping Xie Wanyi, Jiang Motian's face showed helplessness.

In the end, I still couldn't leave...

Jiang Motian sighed softly, feeling that she had been latched onto.

Yet she didn't feel any resentment.

Instead, she sat to the side, resting her chin on her palm, and stared blankly at his sleeping face.

That visit to the Hospital became the turning point for Jiang Motian and Xie Wanyi to reconcile.

But to avoid trouble, Jiang Motian didn't tell anyone.

She didn't even tell Xiaoshi.

But Xiaoshi could sense the change in Jiang Motian.

He was even certain that this change had to do with Xie Wanyi!

Xiaoshi felt a deep sense of crisis.

He knew...

He couldn't just sit and wait for death!

He had to find an opportunity to strike back!!

But what Xiaoshi didn't expect was that, before long, the opportunity delivered itself to his door...

This day, a staff member from the Hospital called Jiang Motian to ask about the patient's recovery.

This Hospital actually has quite good service.

But...

Jiang Motian asked in confusion: "Why don't you call the patient?"

"Because when the number was left initially, this was the one provided, and we are following up based on the registered information."

Jiang Motian was unaware of the matter of leaving the phone number.

It must have been Xie Wanyi's doing.

This guy doing things this way was somewhat inconsiderate.

He could have at least told Jiang Motian in advance.

Jiang Motian grumbled to herself, then said to the person on the other end: "I'll give you the patient's number; you can go ask him."

Xie Wanyi had already given his new number to Jiang Motian.

But the person on the other end refused: "Sorry, our workload is very heavy; please ask him yourself. It's just three questions, and you can give us the feedback afterward."

Hearing this, Jiang Motian retracted her comment about their good service.

They were truly perfunctory!

But Jiang Motian did not refuse.

Anyway... it was just a matter of one phone call.

After hanging up, Jiang Motian held her phone and dialed Xie Wanyi's number.

But the phone rang for a long time without anyone answering.

Jiang Motian stared at her phone and muttered, "Busy again?"

Since that was the case...

Jiang Motian decided to go to Xie Wanyi's company to take a look.

If Xie Wanyi was at the company, that would be best; she could clarify the situation and then call the Hospital back.

Even if Xie Wanyi wasn't there...

It would just be a wasted trip, and she wasn't busy right now anyway.

Jiang Motian made her decision, stood up, and left.

But when she reached the door, she turned back around.

No!

Although Xie Wanyi and Xu Nianxin were not really a couple.

Outsiders didn't know that.

If she just went looking for him like that, who knew what kind of trouble she might stir up?!

The more Jiang Motian thought about it, the more inappropriate it seemed, and she shook her head repeatedly.

Just then, Xiaoshi returned from the courtyard.

Seeing Jiang Motian sitting there shaking her head, he asked, "Tiantian... what are you doing?"

"Huh? I'm fine, but..."

Jiang Motian looked at Xiaoshi, and a sudden idea popped into her head!

She stared intently into Xiaoshi's eyes and discussed it with him: "Can you do me a favor, please?"

"Of course, go ahead."

"The Hospital called earlier to ask about Xie Wanyi's recovery, but I can't get through to his phone, and it's not convenient for me to go find him, so I wanted to ask you to go for me."

This was a small matter.

If the other party weren't Xie Wanyi, Xiaoshi would have agreed immediately.

But it just happened to be Xie Wanyi!

The corners of Xiaoshi's mouth, which had been turned up, slowly drooped.

He put on a serious expression and asked Jiang Motian, "Why did they call you?"

"Didn't I run into Xie Wanyi that day and take him to the Hospital? My number was left on the follow-up form."

Jiang Motian had already explained about the Hospital and the phone suddenly running out of battery.

Xiaoshi had even praised Jiang Motian for her kindness at the time.

But at this moment, Xiaoshi completely changed his attitude and asked in an accusatory tone, "Why did you leave your number?"

"... I'm not really sure."

"Could it be some trick Xie Wanyi is playing?"

"It's just a phone number, it's not that serious."

"But if it involves Xie Wanyi, it is very serious! Tiantian, I heard that Xie Wanyi used you before. Since you've been burned by him once, don't get close to him again!"

Xiaoshi's aggressive, step-by-step questioning made Jiang Motian feel uncomfortable.

But she still said patiently, "I'm not getting close to him; I'm just asking you to go find him and ask about his condition. If you don't want to, I'll think of another way."

"It's not that I'm unwilling to go, but... you have to promise that this is the last time you will have any contact with Xie Wanyi."

Xiaoshi had actually used an imperative tone.

And this time, Jiang Motian did not blindly yield.

She pursed her lips and refused directly: "I can't do that."

This refusal caused a flash of ruthlessness to cross Xiaoshi's eyes.

But that emotion vanished so quickly that Jiang Motian didn't even catch it.

She could only feel that Xiaoshi's mood had become very strange.

His eyes were also wide open.

But when Xiaoshi spoke again, he switched to a mournful look: "Why can't you? Aren't you afraid of getting hurt again?"

Jiang Motian did not want to discuss this topic further.

She took a deep breath and then said, "I know what I'm doing. Now, answer me first: are you going to help me with this favor or not?"

"... Fine, I'll go!"

Jiang Baobao looked at the man in front of her, her heart feeling as if it had been pricked by a needle.
