Chapter 255: Scoot Over, Scoot Over!

Jiang Jing was sent to the Intensive Care Unit and needs to undergo forty-eight hours of observation.

This means Tang Ye does not need to stay at the hospital for these two days.

The work of caring for a patient can be very tedious.

But, this is also an opportunity for Tang Ye and Jiang Jing to further deepen their relationship.

Tang Ye first sent Jiang Rou home.

Looking at Jiang Rou's eyes, which were as red and swollen as walnuts, Tang Ye felt a bit heartbroken.

"Rest early; you still have to go to school tomorrow."

"Uncle, I have no heart for school at all; I want to stay by my dad's side."

"Your primary task is your studies, and your dad surely thinks so too. Rest assured, I will take good care of him."

"Thank you; if it weren't for you, I really wouldn't have known what to do at that moment!"

"Don't mention it. After this incident, you must learn to grow."

Jiang Rou bit her lower lip tightly and nodded forcefully, "I understand what you mean. My dad is getting on in years, and it's time for me to take care of him."

Tang Ye said gently, "In the short term, you don't need to bear such great pressure yet. But this matter can be considered a wake-up call; human life is actually extremely fragile, so we must cherish the present and cherish the people around us."

"I will study hard."

Witnessing Jiang Rou's step-by-step transformation, Tang Ye felt a thousand emotions in his heart.

Life is mostly like this; only after encountering setbacks can one achieve growth.

In the short term, setbacks may be agonizing, but from a long-term perspective, it is precisely this process that makes a person become increasingly strong.

Jiang Rou saw Tang Ye to the door.

The nanny, Aunt Chen, took the schoolbag off Jiang Rou's shoulder.

"It's all thanks to Tang Secretary's quick reaction today. Your dad was still planning to go to work this morning, but Tang Secretary noticed your dad's condition wasn't right and insisted on sending him to the hospital for a check-up. If it had been delayed any longer, it would have been unthinkable."

Jiang Rou nodded slightly, thinking to herself: I owe him another favor.

"Aunt Chen, was I particularly unreasonable in the past?"

"You were a bit willful before, but all children need to grow. Actually, I have always known you have a kind heart. Back then, when your mother wanted to dismiss me, it was you who insisted on keeping me. Also, my husband's job and my son's school were all things you persuaded your dad to help arrange. In my heart, you have always been a good child."

Jiang Rou's throat tightened, and she said with a sob, "I was too unreasonable before and broke my dad's heart."

Aunt Chen gently took Jiang Rou's hand, stroked the back of it, and comforted her, "Mayor Jiang cares about you a lot in private; he asks me every day if you've been wronged or if you're feeling uncomfortable. He's just not good at expressing his true feelings to your face."

Jiang Rou's tears gushed out.

"I really want to slap myself a few times."

"Don't be silly. You and your dad have personalities that are too similar; you're both cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and neither of you is willing to lower your head easily. Although this time was particularly dangerous, it also untied the knot between the two of you."

Jiang Rou took a deep breath, her eyes firm, and she clenched her fists tightly, "I will definitely change."

Aunt Chen looked at Jiang Rou with eyes full of love.

In her heart, Jiang Rou was just like her own daughter.

Previously, facing the conflict between the father and daughter, Aunt Chen had been anxious and burning with impatience, yet felt helpless.

However, ever since Tang Ye appeared, the conflict between the two had gradually eased.

Aunt Chen felt from the bottom of her heart that this young man, Little Tang, was truly a very good person!

……

After finishing a day of rushing about.

Tang Ye dragged his exhausted body back home.

The lights in the living room emitted a soft glow.

Du Xi was sitting quietly on the sofa, having fallen asleep silently.

Hearing the movement of the door opening, Du Xi slowly rubbed her sleepy eyes, her gaze carrying a bit of haziness as she looked toward Tang Ye and asked softly, "You're back? Did you eat anything tonight? Are you hungry?"

Tang Yu had to monitor Jiang Jing's situation and stayed at the hospital.

Qin Lan was away on a business trip for work.

In this quiet late night, there was a light shining just for him.

Warmth instantly spread through Tang Ye's heart.

Tang Ye walked softly to Du Xi's side; without a word, he just gently stretched out his arms and pulled her into his embrace.

A flash of bewilderment crossed Du Xi's eyes, but she soon relaxed and settled peacefully into Tang Ye's arms.

"Thank you."

"Why are you thanking me?"

Tang Ye slowly released Du Xi and gently cupped her face with his hands.

"What happened today really touched me deeply. Mayor Jiang has always been an idol in my heart; his attitude of being serious about work and upholding principles when handling problems makes him an extremely excellent leader. But who would have thought that his family life would be so unsatisfactory? A person must not only handle work properly but also treat their own family well. I need to reflect on this; I cannot neglect you just because of work anymore."

Du Xi was slightly stunned, then couldn't help but burst into a laugh.

"I've never felt that you neglected me. Everyone has their own work to be busy with, and everyone needs personal space. If you were circling around me all day, being all clingy, I wouldn't like you as much as I do now. Hmm, I just like your attitude of being somewhat distant yet close!"

The corners of Tang Ye's mouth turned up, revealing a smile, and he said, "I need to hurry and take a shower to wash away the exhaustion and the bacteria I picked up at the hospital, and then we can have a good talk."

Du Xi's eyes curved into crescents, and she said gently, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you."

After Tang Ye finished his shower, Du Xi was already lying on the bed, wrapped in a thin summer quilt.

"Scoot over, scoot over!"

Tang Ye walked toward Du Xi with a smile and lay down beside her.

Du Xi's face was as red as a flower.

Her brows were like new moons, and her eyes held the depth of autumn waters.

The tenderness and love in her eyes were overflowing.

What was she expecting, and what was she afraid of!

"The weather is quite hot; aren't you afraid of getting heat rash?"

"No, I'm quite comfortable like this."

"Let me cover up a bit too."

Tang Ye lifted the corner of the quilt.

Du Xi was wearing a thin nightgown, with nothing on underneath.

Her face was flushed red, looking exceptionally charming tonight.

A woman is like a painting; Tang Ye watched, mesmerized.

"Can you turn off the light?" Du Xi requested, her voice as faint as a mosquito's hum.

"No!"

"Why?"

"If the light is off, I don't feel secure."

"Pfft, alright then, let's keep the light on and let me get a good look at you." Having said that, Du Xi rolled over, propped up her chin, pressed her elbows against Tang Ye's chest, and leaned down to gaze at his face.

His wife was fragrant and soft!

In an instant, his adrenaline surged rapidly!

"Tang Ye, this bed of yours doesn't seem to be any good either; it's creaking and groaning, it's really annoying."

"It's fine, there's no one living downstairs anyway; it's been vacant for several years."

"Huh? Don't scare me. I saw the lights on downstairs when I took out the trash tonight."

"Is that so? It must be a thief. Once the thief finishes stealing things, they will leave. So there's no need to worry."

Hearing that there was a thief below, Du Xi immediately became alert due to her professional sensitivity.

However.

Seeing Tang Ye's mischievous grin, she realized it in an instant.

This guy was just spouting nonsense!

"You, you're lying to me again, you're really bad!"
