Chapter 36: Holding Her Hand Without Letting Go

"Forget it," Bai Zhenhai didn't want to make a scene. Now that he's the wealthiest man in Winter City, he cares about his reputation and doesn't want to cause a scene.

But Xu Aiqin speculated, "Is Dr. Tang attracted to that annoying girl and wants to pursue her? That's why he's speaking up for her now? I told you, his attitude towards us was so bad before, most likely influenced by that annoying girl..."

"Stop it, let's go in and see Mom."

"I don't know when Mom will wake up. I've had the will prepared, once she signs it, our property will be left to us and Yao Yao. Then I can finally relax..."

"Lower your voice!" Bai Zhenhai glared at her, "Are you afraid people won't hear you?"

Xu Aiqin hurriedly covered her mouth and closed the hospital room door.

...

Ou Yan didn't know the purpose of their visit. She told Tang Yiyang behind her, "I have something else to do, you go ahead."

"What about Mrs. Bai's medical report?"

"If there's nothing special, you can handle it."

"Okay."

Tang Yiyang only now noticed the man waiting ahead. With his neat short hair and slender figure, he exuded an aura of nobility.

How could it be him? Si Yechen?

Since saving Grandpa Si, Ou Yan seems to have gotten closer to this man?

Si Yechen saw Tang Yiyang, glanced briefly, then looked at Ou Yan, asking softly, "In trouble?"

"No."

"If you have any problems, you can tell me, I'll handle it."

Ou Yan raised her eyes and saw Si Yechen's serious expression. She replied calmly, "Nothing, just encountered two troublemakers. I'm going in to see Grandpa."

"Okay."

Si Yechen's gaze followed her into the room, then he glanced indifferently at Tang Yiyang nearby.

Tang Yiyang didn't know if he should say hello. The man in front of him, even Grandpa respects him...

While he hesitated, Si Yechen had already withdrawn his gaze and followed Ou Yan into the room.

"Yan Yan, everything okay?" Grandpa Si immediately expressed concern as soon as he saw his granddaughter-in-law.

"Everything's fine."

"If there's anything, tell Ah Chen, he'll take care of it! If you're not satisfied with his handling, you can come to me! Grandpa will back you up!"

Ou Yan's clear eyes shone with brightness. "Okay."

At parting, Grandpa Si was reluctant to let go, repeatedly reminding her, "Yan Yan, don't forget what we agreed on. You must come when I'm discharged the day after tomorrow."

"I'll definitely come."

After leaving the hospital, Ou Yan asked about Grandma Si's condition.

"It's brain damage," Si Yechen replied solemnly. "Apart from spontaneous breathing and blinking, her other symptoms are no different from being in a vegetative state."

In simple terms, she's like a living plant.

Ou Yan understood. She recalled a tricky case she treated long ago, where the patient became a vegetable due to brain damage.

Although it was eventually cured, it required a lot of medication, some of which were rare and even found in illegal areas across the border. It was very troublesome and not easy.

"Dinner together?"

Ou Yan checked the time and was about to mention that her parents were waiting at home when she saw Si Yechen take out his phone and dial a number.

"Uncle, it's me."

"Yan Yan and I will eat out tonight."

"Okay, I'll take care of her."

After seeing him hang up the phone with just a few words, Ou Yan's inner thoughts:...

Did this guy get her consent to this?!

"What do you want to eat?" Si Yechen opened the car door, waiting for her to get in.

Ou Yan:...

"Chinese or Western?"

Ou Yan:...

"Japanese cuisine?"

Ou Yan:...

"Or something else?"

"Whatever." Ou Yan got into the car, no longer dwelling on the issue.

After Si Yechen got in the car, he saw her reach for the necklace, instinctively grabbing her hand.

Her small hand was suddenly enveloped by his large hand, and Ou Yan paused, looking at him as he explained, "It's not appropriate for me to keep this."

"No one is more qualified than you to have it." Si Yechen looked into her eyes, saying each word clearly, "I know you're still young and haven't thought about marriage yet. That's okay, no rush."

..." Ou Yan just felt that wearing such a valuable thing around her neck was too conspicuous. Anyone who knew about this necklace would know what it represented! This is something only the Si family daughter-in-law can wear!

Seeing her still trying to take it off, Si Yechen took a step back, "Considering Grandpa's weak heart, can you wear it for a while? Grandpa will be sad if he doesn't see you wearing it when he's discharged in a few days."

..." Ou Yan was caught off guard by this statement. Her hand had just left the necklace when he took her hand and wouldn't let go.

Si Yechen held her small hand seriously, softly, and suddenly didn't want to let go.

Ou Yan couldn't pull her hand back and could only say, "Let go."

Si Yechen didn't intend to release her hand, instead calmly looking ahead. "Let me hold it for a while."

..." Is this guy polite?! 

"And you're quite close to Tang Yiyang?" Si Yechen suddenly asked.

Ou Yan: ??

In the front seat, Qing Mu couldn't believe how fast things were progressing between Young Master Chen and Miss Ou Yan. He was so excited he could barely hold the steering wheel steady! Unfortunately, the road tonight isn't muddy; otherwise, wouldn't it be great to have Miss Ou Yan fall into Young Master Chen's arms again like last time?

Ou Yan replied casually, "We've had a few dealings."

That kid didn't respect her medical skills before, but after being beaten by her a few times, he obediently bowed down.

"Do you prefer someone who studies medicine more, or someone who doesn't?"

Ou Yan: ??

Qing Mu: *chuckles*

Young Master Chen, you said you weren't jealous, but asking this question, are you sure you haven't eaten vinegar? You've eaten so much vinegar it's gone to the heavens!

"What do you mean?" Euro didn't understand his question, but seeing his gaze seemed to be curious, she realized, "Someone who studies medicine is better than someone who doesn't, right? We can have conversations and learn from each other."

Si Yechen instinctively tightened his grip on her hand, his tone somewhat sour, "Talking about medicine 24/7? Isn't that tiring?"

"How could it be? We talk about things we're interested in. Besides, chatting more, we can progress together."

Seeing Ou Yan raise her eyebrows, Si Yechen couldn't help but smirk, knowing she was teasing him.

Though he knew she was doing it on purpose, in his heart, it felt like he spilled syrup, a sweet feeling spreading.

"Master Chen, we're arriving at the Starlight Restaurant!" Qing Mu said, unable to hold back his excitement. "Miss Ou Yan, this is Master Chen's favorite restaurant. He's never brought any other girl here!"

Ou Yan became interested. "So, does that mean he took other girls to places he didn't like?"

"No, no, of course not."

Qing Mu's car hadn't even stopped when the manager, who noticed them, rushed out to greet them personally.

"Master Si, long time no see... Who is this..."
