Cheng Qi's eyes flickered, and he moved his lips, but in the end, no sound came out.

……

It was already afternoon when Xie Ci woke up. The curtains in the room were drawn and the whole room was dark.

The fragrance from the quilt hit his nose, gradually reducing his uneasiness. He sat on the bed, looking around.

There was a desk lamp on the bedside table, which looked the same as the one in his ward. Thinking of this, he curled the corners of his lips slightly and reached out to turn on the desk lamp.

The room became brighter, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes stayed on the doll in a transparent box on the cabinet on the other side.

He could tell at a glance that one of them was Jiang Yan, but the other one...

Xie Ci got out of bed and stared at the box for a long time. The restlessness in his heart made him reach out his hand and stroke the other doll, his eyes becoming darker.

After a long time, he stood up and walked out the door.

Hearing the noise, Jiang Sheng glanced at him sideways, with no emotion in his eyes.

Xie Ci also glanced at him, and scanned the room. Seeing Jiang Yan busy in the kitchen, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he walked over without saying a word.

"You're awake." Seeing him come in, Jiang Yan paused, then slowly shoveled the food into the bowl.

"Yeah." Xie Ci responded, and habitually wanted to reach out and hug her.

Jiang Yan seemed to have noticed his movements and dodged in advance. She looked towards the living room vigilantly, and was relieved when she saw that Jiang Sheng didn't look at her. She turned her head to meet Xie Ci's ambiguous black eyes, and Jiang Yan's eyes flashed, "This is my house, don't mess around."

"Doctor Jiang, are you afraid that others will find out?" Xie Ci lowered his eyebrows, was silent for two seconds, and whispered to her.

Jiang Yan's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know what he meant for a moment. "Jiang Sheng is my brother. I naturally can't let him see this."

Listening to her words, Xie Ci felt a little jealous. With his yandere personality, he stubbornly believed that Jiang Yan was his, so he couldn't be nice to anyone except him.

"If one day he and I were kidnapped and only one could be saved, who would Dr. Jiang save?" Xie Ci suppressed the abnormal thoughts in his mind and leaned on the kitchen counter next to Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan was slightly startled, and her hand holding the handle of the pot tightened a little. Xie Ci and Jiang Sheng were incomparable.

He approached Xie Ci in order to save his life, and Jiang Sheng, out of gratitude?

"Doctor Jiang chose him, right?" Xie Ci looked at her and knew clearly what her silence meant. He knew the answer long ago, but asking it still made his heart twitch.

His voice was a little low, and accompanied by ridicule of himself, he seemed extremely pitiful.

Jiang Yan frowned, "There is no such assumption."

"I don't think I have much place in Dr. Jiang's heart." Xie Ci continued, his clenched palms oozing with blood.

Jiang Yan stared at the pot and didn't notice the possessive look in his eyes as he looked at her as if she were his prey.

Jiang Yan was a little annoyed by the question. She really didn't want to say anything against her will, so she simply turned off the fire and pulled him around the living room and back to the room.

After closing the door, Jiang Yan raised her eyes to meet his, her heart trembled, and she rolled up the corner of her clothes, "Xie Ci, do you like me?"

Xie Ci was slightly stunned, and scarlet blood slowly gathered in his eyes. His dark eyes stared at her closely, and after a long while he chuckled and leaned closer to her, "Yes, I like Doctor Jiang. Can Doctor Jiang see that?"

Jiang Yan froze, her heartbeat gradually quickened, she was a little dazed, and sure enough, if it happened again, she still couldn't help but be crazy about him.

She didn't think she was a good person, but she actually felt guilty about thanking Xie Ci.

But the negative favorability value suddenly extinguished the excitement that had just ignited in her heart.

"Doctor Jiang likes me too, so you ask such a question, right?" Seeing that she didn't speak and her face was cold, Xie Ci's heart ached. As if he didn't believe what he saw, he kept asking.

"I don't like it." Jiang Yan raised her eyes. After saying this, she didn't feel as happy as she had imagined. Instead, she felt even more upset.

……

"Ms. Jiang?" Seeing her in a daze, Lu Jin called out again.

"Hmm?" Jiang Yan came back to her senses, her thoughts a little confused. That day ended with her running away, and the hospital sent someone to take Xie Ci away. She didn't see Xie Ci for a few days after that, and they said he was taken away by the Bai family.

"Don't you like banquets?" Lu Jin asked, glancing at the noisy surroundings.

Jiang Yan shook her head and turned to look at him, "Why don't you go talk to them?"

Many people came to greet him just now.

Lu Jin took a glass of juice and handed it to her. "I saw that you were not in good condition, so I thought of accompanying you."

Jiang Yan was stunned, and forced a fake smile at him, "I'm fine, go and have your chat."

Lu Jin looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded, "Okay, then you sit here and play, I'll come find you later."

"Yeah." Jiang Yan nodded.

After Lu Jin left, Jiang Yan finally found time to look at her phone which had been vibrating non-stop. It was a message from Jiang Wei, asking her how she was doing.

Jiang Yan raised her eyebrows, picked up her phone and replied, [I met Lu Jin, and I have successfully entered. ]

Jiang Wei is also useless. She can't even get an invitation to a banquet, and yet she has to try her luck.

Fortunately, she met Lu Jin as soon as she arrived, and fortunately Lu Jin did not reject her and brought her in.

Her current relationship with Lu Jin...is hard to explain, anyway, there is no definite answer.

No one can tell what's going on in a wealthy family. They might be in love today, but become strangers tomorrow. She was not sure about Lu Jin's attitude.

Jiang Wei must have been staring at his phone. He replied to her message almost instantly and gave her a few simple instructions, which basically asked her to find out what Lu Jin was saying.

Jiang Yan responded with an "OK" and turned off her phone. She picked up the drink on the table and took a sip, then looked around boredly.

Soon she realized something was wrong. The more she drank, the more dizzy she felt. She didn't know if her alcohol tolerance had deteriorated or the alcohol content was too high, but she actually felt drunk.

Everything in front of my eyes was floating around, and the people coming and going all looked like phantoms in my eyes.

Jiang Yan pinched herself to stay calm and scanned the crowd, looking for Lu Jin.

"I heard that Lin Qing will also be here today." Two wealthy ladies had appeared next to them and were chattering about something, their voices filled with surprise and excitement.

"Hasn't she always been uninterested in these parties?"

"I heard that Lu Chenshu is here today."

Jiang Yan paused and suddenly remembered that there seemed to be an important plot today. The heroine was drugged, and the hero blocked the entrance to the banquet to find the murderer for the heroine.

The murderer seems to be Zhou Yueyue.

Jiang Yan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. She glanced at the wine glass in her hand, and when she took a closer look, she could see a layer of white powder floating on the wall of the glass.

“…” Good boy, she encountered it.

Yesterday, 007 seemed to have reminded her again and again that it was going to upgrade today and asked her to avoid some banquets as there would be a plot where the supporting female character would frame the female lead.

She might have been thinking about the thank you and was distracted, so she didn't remember it.

Damn it, this is what happened.

No one knew where Lu Jin had gone. Jiang Yan gradually felt hot and burning all over.
