Chapter 745: Plenty of Fun in the Sanatorium 30

Qiao Qing shifted his shoulder, "The keys here are only ours two have; my key is usually with me, and only yours is placed in our master bedroom."

"Besides you, who else would appear here?"

Sheng Jiping gave no clear answer, embracing him and swaying his body.

"Your illness has only just improved; there's no need to be this exhausted every day."

"I know all about it; the w plan is something we painstakingly deployed, and I still can't rest easy."

Qiao Qing put his arm around him, slightly relaxing his body.

"I know you'll join in because you want to treat my cancer."

"Now my illness is healed, it's you who doesn't need to be so anxious every day."

Sheng Jiping lowered his head for a light kiss, "As long as you're safe, that's enough."

"Then keep preparing the medicine; I'll go upstairs to reply to emails."

"Okay." Qiao Qing returned a smile, "Go ahead."

Sheng Jiping left, and in an instant only Qiao Qing remained, alone adjusting the potion.

"Tsk, the halo the protagonist enjoys—how did it become weaker instead?"

Jin Chen hid outside the window, stroking his chin in thought.

"Their relationship isn't bad, is it?"

"Could the problem lie with Sheng Jiping?"

Jin Chen grabbed the anti-theft net and leapt up, his movement agile, making no sound.

Sheng Jiping went upstairs and started making a phone call.

"Your guess was correct; Qiao Qing has indeed taken action."

"The other end of the line seemed intense; Sheng Jiping gradually frowned, displeased, 'Of course I can confirm he's on our side.'"

"I know what you're worried about; although initially approaching him was indeed for that matter, our relationship has now stabilized."

"Afterward came another silence lasting several tens of seconds."

Sheng Jiping pinched his brow, "Now I trust him; no need to persuade further."

After the call ended, Sheng Jiping stood outside the hallway, smoked a cigarette, then went into the study.

"Wow, the two protagonists might actually be from opposing camps."

Jin Chen discovered another secret, leaning against the big tree outside the window and organizing his thoughts.

"How come it feels like the factions in the sanatorium are becoming more and more fragmented?"

Jin Chen counted on his fingers.

"His wife's organization, Chu Ling's mercenary band, the mysterious Black Rock, Sheng Jiping's w plan, and now there's also a possibly other faction's Qiao Qing."

"Seeing ghosts, truly."

"No good, he needs to find an ally."

"Better to just come clean with his wife."

"But it can't be too obvious, letting others know."

"What method should be used…"

After sitting in the tree thinking for a few minutes, Jin Chen guessed the time was about right, jumped down and hurried back to the cafeteria.

——

"I can't play with you tonight."

Jin Chen had just sat back down when he informed Huakui of this shocking news.

Shangguan Hao covered his face and wailed.

"Your Highness, why do you so betray my trust?"

"Let's talk another day; tonight I have more important arrangements."

Jin Chen casually waved his hand to respond.

Shen Yan was pondering why Chu Ling and the three hadn't returned; hearing this, he turned his head in confusion, "What are you going to do?"

"Honey, come sneak to my room tonight, and I'll tell you a secret."

Jin Chen leaned close to his ear and whispered.

"No, tonight I have to write a report."

Shen Yan refused.

"Don't think he doesn't know what that idiot is thinking."

Jin Chen: "……"

"Honey… if you don't come, I'll be very sad."

Hugging his shoulders, he whined indignantly, "Yanbao… honey…"

"Stop, I'm going."

Shen Yan noticed the Nurse Team's teasing gaze, rather headache-inducing, "Don't shout."

"Don't block me! Nobody block me!"

Huakui made a move as if to climb the railing and jump down, heartbroken, "In this world, I truly have no hope of living!"

The Huakui Nurse Team crossed their arms and watched the spectacle, no one stepping forward to stop them.

Several other lunatics said suicide might actually be carried out, but their death-fearing young master, even cutting his hair is all thunder and little rain.

"Already very accustomed."

As expected, Huakui leaned on the railing outside, half a day passed with no one coming to stop him, then he sheepishly patted his clothes and sat back down.

"Humans are truly timid, meow!"

Miss Cat licked the soup on her paw, swaying her head and body, "Really, you don't have even a bit of the Cat Hero's courage!"

Hey, someone come quick! Cat Hero hasn't had enough to eat today!

Only Yi Fei An turned a deaf ear to the table's affairs, focusing solely on the rice in his bowl.

As the empty bowls piled up beside him, the nurse grew increasingly terrified, fearing he might accidentally burst his stomach.

At last, the meal was finished without any mishap.

That night.

After Jin Chen finished washing up, the nurse forced him to take his medicine, and then he waited a full hour before Shen Yan finally arrived.

He sat resentfully on the bed, half his face buried in the blankets, staring at the person who had entered.

"Why did you only come now?"

Shen Yan glanced at the time on his watch.

"It's only 9 p. m.; what's so urgent?"

"What do you mean it's only 9 p. m.? I've been waiting for you since 7:30."

Jin Chen remained resentful.

Shen Yan blinked, then suddenly inspired, sat down beside the bed, leaned in, and planted a kiss on Jin Chen's cheek.

"Fine then, I'll make amends to the Prince."

"Don't call me Prince."

Jin Chen resolved to come clean with Shen Yan, having already set up a barrier in the room.

"I've recovered my memories."

He locked eyes with Shen Yan, his tone grave.

The smile hovering on Shen Yan's lips faded slightly; after a few seconds of eye contact, he frowned and asked, "Do you know what you're saying? Who told you to say that?"

"I know what I'm saying; I truly have recovered my memories."

Jin Chen rubbed the wound on his wrist, then took Shen Yan's hand, interlocking their fingers.

"I know what happened during this time, and I've also recalled what occurred before the laboratory explosion."

"I'm not lying to you."

The smile on Shen Yan's face vanished completely; his eyes behind the lenses glinted with sharpness and probing, his fingertip twitched but did not withdraw.

"When did you remember?"

His tone was somewhat aloof.

Meeting that gaze, Jin Chen dared not say he had known from the very beginning.

"Tonight."

Shen Yan recalled that at dinner, Brocade City suddenly got up from the table, returned, and then regretted the decision he'd made while eating, ultimately not suspecting too much.

His breath hitched slightly, and he wanted to pull his hand back.

But Jin Chen firmly grasped his hand.

"So, what did you want to tell me by calling me over?"

Shen Yan asked him, his eyes like they were soaked in water, moist and clear.

"Wife, do you believe me now?"

Jin Chen smiled in surprise, pressed his lips, leaned forward and embraced Shen Yan, saying, "I'm so happy."

Shen Yan's fingers trembled, he tilted his head, somewhat at a loss, and whispered, "You… what should I call you?"

He still thought that if Jin Chen regained his memories, their relationship would reach its end.

"Huh?"

Jin Chen frowned, suddenly sat up straight with a solemn expression, and said, "Although my consciousness has been hazy lately, my feelings are clear."

"Because I've recovered my memories, does that mean you no longer like me, wife?"

Shen Yan suddenly chuckled, "No."

He took off his glasses, wrapped both arms around Jin Chen's neck, and said, "Then prove it to me."
