Unexpectedly, the little girl even encrypted her phone calls. Si Yechen became even more curious about her identity. Out of respect, Si Yechen didn't answer the call for her, nor did he hang up. Instead, he let the phone vibrate for a while before ending it himself.
He placed the phone on the bedside table and gently covered the little girl with the blanket, leaning down to give her a tender kiss.
She looked beautiful while sleeping, like a princess from a fairy tale, with thick, curly eyelashes, a straight and delicate nose, and alluring lips...
Unable to resist, he leaned down and gently kissed her again.
Just then, the phone vibrated once more.
It was a WeChat message from someone else.
Si Yechen inadvertently glanced at it and saw a few WeChat messages on the screen.
"Boss, QY's monthly report has been sent to your email."
"The recently launched jewelry collection has received excellent feedback."
"When will you have time to sketch some more?"
The sender of the messages was named Zhang.
Si Yechen speculated: Could it be Zhang Daxin? The person in charge of QY?
It was said that QY's founder, Mu Qing, never showed his face and focused solely on creation, leaving all the company's affairs to Zhang Daxin.
So, his Yan Yan was Mu Qing??
And QY was created by her??
No wonder she had always insisted on not accepting the clothes and jewelry he gave her...
Facing things she had designed every day, there was no sense of novelty. No wonder he couldn't see a surprised expression on her face.
Everything came from her own hands, so how could there be any surprises?
He remembered the expression on the little girl's face when she received his gifts, as if she had something to say but couldn't put it into words...
Thinking this way, Si Yechen curved his lips, never expecting that his Yan Yan not only had medical skills, could make medicine, and was a piano master, but also the founder of QY...
The Li family probably didn't know her true identity, which was why they initially let her take over that small clothing company...
If they found out, they would definitely think she was being underutilized.
The illustrious founder of QY managing a small company...
"Lord Chen."
At this moment, Qingmu lightly called from outside the door.
Si Yechen collected his thoughts and reluctantly glanced at the little girl before leaving the room.
"Is Miss Qing Yan asleep?" Qingmu didn't expect Lord Chen to be so gentle with Miss Qing Yan.
If the subordinates of the C Gang saw this, their eyes would probably pop out...
After all, Lord Chen's image outside had always been cold and ruthless...
"Speak softly." Si Yechen walked towards the living room inside the cabin and sat down before saying, "We can talk here."
He didn't want to disturb the little girl who was sleeping nearby.
"Yes," Qingmu reported eagerly as he sat down. "There's news about Baihe!"
Si Yechen was surprised. He didn't expect such good news today. In a low voice, he asked, "Where is the person?"
"I don't know yet. It's an intermediary who claims to have Baihe's contact information. Baihe is willing to treat, but not for money. They want something in return."
That was unexpected.
"What do they want?" Si Yechen asked in a calm tone.
"Xiao Gancao and Purple Lotus Root."
Si Yechen's gaze darkened. What did he need those two things for?
"Lord Chen, we have been collecting these two items for many years. They are extremely valuable and rare, no less than Tian Gui ginseng... Although the other party doesn't know that we have these two things, they made an offer: whoever can produce these two items will have Baihe's medical attention."
Si Yechen's voice was flat. "Okay, agree to their terms."
"Lord Chen, I don't understand..." Qingmu cautiously voiced his doubt. "Miss Qing Yan has exceptional medical skills, and she's also Mr. Yan's apprentice. There's no medicine she can't make in this world. She knows that Tian Gui ginseng can save Madam's life, so why not let her try?"
They still had to go to Mr. Baihe with Xiao Gancao and Purple Lotus Root?
Wasn't that a waste of money?!
Si Yechen remembered answering this question long ago. He said calmly, "Now Grandmother's condition has worsened, and Tang Lao said there are only a few days left..."
If Yan Yan could save Grandmother, that would be even better...
But what if...
"I'm afraid that if something happens, and Grandmother's condition is beyond saving, Yan Yan will blame herself for not having sufficient medical skills, and she will feel guilty and upset..."
So he would rather save Grandmother through the hands of an outsider than let the little girl bear the burden of lifelong psychological trauma.
"Give him Xiao Gancao and Purple Lotus Root, arrange a time with him as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
At this moment, Qingmu finally understood why Lord Chen had been inquiring about Mr. Baihe's whereabouts...
Why, despite having a divine physician girl by his side, he didn't use her...
It turned out he was worried about Qing Yan's pressure!
Lord Chen was really good to Miss Qing Yan!
The plane flew for eight hours and landed directly on the tarmac at Moon Lake Bay.
Si Yechen carried Qing Yan down the stairs from the plane, astonishing the butler...
The butler never expected that Lord Chen would go abroad for a trip and actually bring Miss Qing Yan along...
And they even returned together.
They returned just like that, in such an intimate posture...
A gust of wind blew, and Qing Yan felt a little cold. She raised her eyes and realized she had arrived at Moon Lake Bay!
She couldn't believe it. She had slept for such a long time.
"Wake up?" Si Yechen held her as they disembarked from the plane, his voice gentle. "Sleep a little longer."
She had never seen herself sleep so peacefully before.
Qing Yan was also surprised. By Si Yechen's side, she could actually sleep so soundly and peacefully, and the most surprising thing was that she hadn't had a single nightmare...
"Put me down," she wanted to walk on her own.
But Si Yechen held onto her. "Sleep a little longer, have something to eat, and I'll send you back later."
Qing Yan was carried upstairs by him, as if she had grown accustomed to his dominance and authoritarian nature, without saying much.
"While you were asleep just now, someone called you," Si Yechen spoke up.
Qing Yan's heart skipped a beat. He didn't answer, did he?
"I didn't answer, but the person sent you a WeChat message," he continued.
Qing Yan: ???
"Didn't expect, my Yanyan, you're the founder of QY," Si Yechen smiled gently. "Da Xin is just your subordinate?"
Qing Yan: !!!
"You peeked at my messages?"
"They appeared on the screen, it's hard not to see," he replied.
"..."
"I didn't know that everything related to QY before was designed by you. I'll give you something different in the future," Si Yechen lowered his head and kissed her lightly, carrying her into the bedroom. "This is my bed, rest here for a while, and I'll call you when it's time to eat."
"I'm not sleepy."
"Then just lie down for a bit."
She hadn't slept as comfortably on the plane as she did here.
Si Yechen was afraid that she would focus on work again tomorrow, neglecting her own well-being without even taking a breath.
While they had some time now, it was good to take a proper rest.
Qing Yan waited until he left, then took out her phone and checked. As expected, Zhang Daxin had sent her several WeChat messages.
There were also some encrypted messages that wouldn't appear on the phone screen. She opened the app and quickly replied to something.
