Chapter 199 - Chapter 199 The one to tell you

Reaching the hospital, Jianyu received a call from Liling and he informed her that he had found her and that everything was fine. Li Fei was attached to the IV drip for five hours and Jianyu sat down, waiting for her.

She asked him to go finish his work but he insisted on staying with her. He looked at her and felt the sudden urge to ask what had happened in Shanghai but he held himself back.

This wasn't the right time.

When they checked that her fever had subsided, they removed the drip and prescribed some medicine for her to take.

"Can you walk? I will carry you," Jianyu offered and bent to scoop her in his arms when she pushed back and said," I can move on my own." "Okay then. Let's go," he said and she started walking as he came following behind her.

Reaching the car, she got in and looked at him before saying," Jianyu, thank you so much. I really appreciate you and please, don't tell my Mom or brother. I don't want them to worry about me."

"I understand and I won't tell them. But then, where are you going?" "Drop me at any hotel. I will stay there for the meantime."

"I'm not taking you to a hotel especially when you're sick," he said starting the car.

"Where are you taking me then?" she asked. "You will stay at my house and don't say no," he said and she looked outside the window.

He stopped on the way and bought a number of things for cooking before proceeding home.

Reaching his house, he led her towards the spare bedroom and said," This is where you're going to sleep. Do you like it? Or you want to have a change of something." "It's okay," she replied. "Okay. Let me go and prepare something for us," he said and she nodded.

He was about to leave when he said," I think you should take a rest meanwhile."

With that, he went to the kitchen to have something prepared.

As he was cooking, he started thinking. He couldn't believe the luck on his side. Could it mean that he was finally going to have her all to himself? Even though he knew that her heart belonged to that man, he wouldn't mind staying next to her. But first of all, he needed to know the gravity of the situation by knowing what caused the fight.

He wiped his hands with a clean cloth and pulled out his phone from his trousers and called Liling. "This is Yan Jianyu," he said when she picked up. "Yes. Is everything okay?"

"Yes. Uhm, Li Fei had a fever but I took her to the hospital and right now she's at my house. You shouldn't worry about anything."

"Thank you so much Jianyu." "It's my pleasure. Ah, I want to ask you. What happened between Li Fei and...her boyfriend? I know they fought but what exactly happened?"

"I think Li Fei should be the one to tell you that," replied Liling. "I understand," he said. "And another thing, please watch her closely. She might harm herself."

"I understand and I will do that."

When he hung up, he finished with the cooking and served the food on the plate before taking it to her room. He didn't knock as his hands were occupied and on entering, he found her sitting at the edge of the bed, with both her hands covering her face.

Placing the food on the table, he walked towards her and stood infront of her before calling," Li Fei." "Yes," she replied without removing her hands. "Is something wrong?" he asked. She shook her head before getting up and she walked towards the bathroom without looking at him.

Coming back, her face was moist with water and she looked at him to say," I'm sorry. I wasn't feeling well." "You were crying. Why?" he asked. "I wasn't crying," she said.

"You can tell me anything. I know you had a serious fight with Mr Jin Liwei. What exactly happened?" She shook her head and said," It was not a fight." Seeing her hesitation, he said," Okay. I brought your food. Please eat something." He went to bring the food on the bed and she looked at it. Before she could say anything, he said," I know you have no appetite but please." She got the chopsticks and looked at him to say," You don't have to watch over me. I'm going to eat."

"Okay. I will leave now."

She ate just a little and took the plates back to the kitchen.

"You didn't have to trouble yourself," said Jianyu who had been doing some work on the laptop.

"It wasn't bothersome," she said continuing to walk to the kitchen. She had intended to wash the dishes but when she reached, she found that they were already made.

"Have you taken your medicine?" he asked when he came to the kitchen.

"Not yet but I'm going to. Ah, have a good night," she said and excused herself.

...

At night when Jing Yue was on the bed, Liling came in and asked," Jing Yue, did you have any idea of your friend's intentions?" "No I didn't. I was caught by surprise too," he said. Her eyes narrowed in suspicion and he asked," What? Don't you believe me?" "I find it suspicious honestly. He's your friend, after all." "Believe me. I didn't know anything," he said. She got in the bed and said," I always knew of his cold attitude but I had never thought that he was a monster."

"You shouldn't say that- " "I shouldn't say what? Are you trying to defend him?" "No but he might be suffering too." "Oh? Suffering you say? Are you listening to yourself Jing Yue? Right now, you should be distancing yourself from someone who plays with people's emotions but you're just defending him. Li Fei nearly killed herself because of him. She suffered enough in jail and he couldn't get enough." "Listen, I acknowledge that what he did was wrong but I can't stop being friends with him. We are literally brothers."

"Wow, just what I needed. You know what, that gets me thinking. What if a day comes and you tell me that everything between us was a plan too so you could help your friend in avenging his wife's death."
