Chapter 476: Plan 21: Winning Back My Boyfriend by Relying on Green Tea

He Yuchuan's gaze also fixed tightly on Jin Chen, the worry in his eyes almost spilling over.

"It's just... my knee hurts a little, nothing serious."

Perhaps because there were many people here, Jin Chen didn't roll up his pant leg for Guangshu to see, but unconsciously lowered his eyes to look at his right knee.

"If Guangshu is busy, just tell me the doctor's extension."

Guangshu looked at He Yuchuan, as if seeking his consent.

The room fell silent for a moment; He Yuchuan stood up and walked toward Jin Chen, who had deliberately avoided him, his expression unreadable.

Next, he did something no one expected.

He half-kneeled on one knee, making a move to lift Jin Chen's pant leg; his voice remained cold, but anyone could hear the warmth within.

"Did you hurt yourself falling yesterday? Let me see."

This action not only startled the guards in the room, but also made Jin Chen's sturdy frame jerk.

"No, no, no, his wife isn't even angry about yesterday's incident?"

He instinctively stepped back half a pace, not wanting He Yuchuan to face him in such a low posture, but the kneeling person misunderstood it as something else.

He Yuchuan's outstretched hand stiffened in midair; he stared blankly, his inner self-reproach and guilt replaced by a hint of panic.

"Brother, get up quickly."

Jin Chen hurriedly pulled his wife up, saying, "I really don't hurt... it just looks scary."

Not knowing He Yuchuan's current mood, Jin Chen only loosely held his hand, but was surprised when He Yuchuan gripped it tightly in return, the force somewhat startling.

"I'll take you to see a doctor." He Yuchuan's tone allowed no refusal, as if fearing Jin Chen would refuse, and he added, "Gu Yuanheng has already been interrogated."

"Ah... okay, brother."

Jin Chen naturally had no objection; influenced by the original plot, he truly couldn't bear to see his brother and Gu Yuanheng in the same space.

He nodded in agreement, then glanced again at Gu Yuanheng.

Gu Yuanheng lay limp on the floor, seemingly not expecting Jin Chen to suddenly look his way; that moment his eyes held scrutiny and amusement, which Jin Chen caught, but it vanished instantly, switching to anger the next second.

It happened so fast that Jin Chen thought the gaze had been his own illusion.

He raised his brows slightly, kept a wary thought, but didn't dwell on it, believing that Gu Yuanheng, with one arm crippled, was no match for He Yuchuan.

"Yuchuan... I was wrong, I shouldn't have been bewitched."

Gu Yuanheng suddenly began to reflect, he struggled to rise and knelt on the ground, his uninjured hand slapping himself hard across the face.

"Rest assured, I will no longer interfere with your life; after leaving Zhuang Yuan, I will voluntarily return to the group, cooperate with you to transfer my projects, and then go far away..."

After losing too much blood and enduring a night of extreme cold, Gu Yuanheng was still extremely weak, appearing to need a doctor more than Jin Chen.

Perhaps because his tone was overly sincere, He Yuchuan glanced at him and said, "You'd better not play any tricks."

"Throw him out."

"Yes, Chairman He."

The guards immediately acted, ignoring Gu Yuanheng's wounds all over, dragging him by that arm out of the interrogation room; this time Gu Yuanheng didn't cause trouble anymore, as if accepting his fate.

As they left, He Yuchuan gave Guangshu a look; the latter immediately understood and followed out, arranging people to secretly follow Gu Yuanheng.

—

He Yuchuan took Jin Chen's hand and returned to the hall, having someone call the doctor immediately.

When the doctor lifted the pant leg to reveal the knee wound, He Yuchuan, sitting nearby, had his pupils constrict and his heart tighten sharply.

Bluish-purple bruising almost covered the entire knee, the worst area even showing faint streaks of dark oozing blood, looking particularly frightening.

"How could it be this serious..." he murmured, his voice barely audible.

The doctor first disinfected with iodine, then began applying medicinal oil to dispel the bruising.

"When did the young master get injured?"

"Yesterday evening, I... accidentally bumped into the table corner."

Jin Chen spoke first; though the rubbing hurt, he only lightly bit his lip with his teeth, turning his head away, unwilling to look.

He dared not look at He Yuchuan either.

"There's quite a bit of bruising; you need to rub with medicinal oil for at least three days, after which it should fade on its own."

The doctor set the medicinal oil on the coffee table and added, "The young master has delicate skin; please be extra careful from now on."

Jin Chen's eyes flickered; he unconsciously glanced at He Yuchuan, then quickly looked away and nodded hurriedly.

"It won't happen again."

Those words sounded to He Yuchuan like they had a double meaning.

What wouldn't happen again—would it be not falling again, or not doing what he did yesterday?

Thinking of that possibility, he felt a bit of chest tightness and unconsciously tightened his grip on the hand he was holding.

The doctor also sensed the awkward atmosphere between the two employers, packed up his things and left, no longer disturbing them.

He Yuchuan suddenly turned, embraced Jin Chen and pulled him into his arms, squeezing tightly.

"Sorry, Chenchen."

Jin Chen, caught off guard by the embrace, slowly blinked his eyes, tentatively returning the hug.

"Brother seems... perhaps he really isn't angry?"

Realizing this, Jin Chen smiled, eyes crinkling, and hugged him tighter.

"It's my fault; getting a little hurt will help me remember."

"Brother, please don't be angry."

He Yuchuan just shook his head, feeling heartbroken; there was no room for anger, he was almost blaming himself to death.

"I'm not angry; yesterday's incident... was my impulsiveness, it's not your fault."

"Then how did you feel yesterday, brother?" Jin Chen suddenly asked.

Seeing He Yuchuan's ear tips reddening more and more, he suddenly realized.

His wife seems to have finally opened her apertures!

Before He Yuchuan could answer, Jin Chen reached out and poked his slightly red cheek with a fingertip, his tone teasing.

"Brother seems... different."

Having his cheek lightly touched by the cool fingertip, He Yuchuan instinctively covered that hand, but Jin Chen's words brought back memories of last night……

With a boom, his face reddened even more, and he didn't directly answer the question.

Jin Chen still wanted to say something teasing, but He Yuchuan's phone ringtone interrupted him, so he obediently kept quiet and didn't disturb the call.

He Yuchuan hung up after just a few seconds on the phone, then gave Jin Chen an apologetic look.

"The group wants to re-investigate all projects handled by Gu Yuanheng, and I have to go deal with it."

Today it finally stopped raining, so we can go out normally; the group surely has a lot of piled-up matters, and Jin Chen naturally expressed understanding.

He watched He Yuchuan leave, then turned and ran back to his room, fully dressed, and went out.

The two departed one after another, and the manor, which had been lively for days, finally returned to tranquility.
