Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

By the time that Yang Baihua was sent to the hospital with the help of Ran Yue, the bruise and swelling of his eyes got bigger. The nurse who first saw him almost jumped in fright. Thankfully, she reigned her shock and dutifully did her work and patched him up.

"Make sure to always apply an ice pack around the swollen area for seven days. Do not by any means do anything that could make your left eye get irritated and don't let anything hit it either," said the doctor who was next to the nurse after checking Yang Baihua's eye. "Come back here after seven days to get another check up."

Ran Yue nodded seriously and asked the doctor who was about to leave, "Will he still see after this?"

The doctor nodded. "Yes, this type of bruises and swelling is very common. However, I advise your boyfriend to avoid getting hit by a dumbbell."

After saying these words, the doctor left without saying another word, trying to examine other patients in the hospital.

Ran Yue sighed after closing the door of the VIP room.

"Dumbbells?! Did that doctor just assume that I was hit by a dumbbell? This was that cheap woman's work!" Yang Baihua was enraged that even the doctor didn't believe him when he said that a woman punched him, sending him an odd gaze as if he was talking nonsense.

Ran Yue didn't know how to respond to that. Originally, she also didn't believe his words. After all, his eye really looked like it had been hit by a baseball bat or a dumbbell in just a glance. No one would believe that a woman as fragile as Ran Xueyi could enforce such strength and force to make his eyes look like that after all.

But nevertheless, Ran Yue didn't refute him this time. She walked to the bedside table and grabbed the pitcher of water. She poured the water inside a clean glass next to the pitcher and handed it to him.

"Calm down. The doctor already said that you'll recover and your eye won't get blind after this."

Yang Baihua stared at her using his other eye and finally calmed down. He took the glass of water from her hand. The moment his fingers touched her own, the thoughts he shouldn't have inside his mind resurfaced.

Those supple and soft hands were too attractive. He wanted to hold it a bit longer. However, before Yang Baihua could hold her hand, Ran Yue already let go of the glass. And because Yang Baihua wasn't focused on holding the glass and didn't apply any strength, the moment she let go of it, the gravitational force dragged the glass to the floor.

A loud crashing sound of the glass breaking on the floor and splashing sound of the water echoed in the hospital VIP room.

Soon, Ran Yue flew into a panic and screamed a little. She was scared to death by the sound.

"Sorry, I didn't hold it properly." Yang Baihua apologized.

Ran Yue frowned but she couldn't show her annoyance with a sigh.

Seeing him try to pick the shards off the ground, Ran Yue pushed his shoulder and let him sit on the hospital bed. She offered to do it for him.

In the end, Ran Yue kneeled next to the bed and picked up the broken pieces of glass.

However, no one knows if she knew this was going to happen or if she was being intentional, or perhaps, she was completely oblivious to it, but the moment she kneeled beside the bed, the collar of her dress gaped open and the soft and white mounds that should have been hidden inside her dress spilled over.

Even with only one eye, Yang Baihua had no trouble in taking a look. He only regretted that his other eye couldn't see because of the swollen skin that he couldn't enjoy such a seductive moment with both his eyes.

But even with just one eye, Yang Baihua enjoyed seeing a beautiful and young woman like Ran Yue kneel before him and take care of him. Of course, what made his day a bit better was what his eye was looking at right now.

Ran Yue silently picked up the shards of glass. After what seemed like eternity for Yang Baihua and just two minutes in reality, she finally stood up and threw the broken pieces to the trash bin inside the room.

Looking at the clock on the wall, Ran Yue excused herself. "I'm going back for a magazine photoshoot. You should call Song Qian to come here and take care of you."

However, Yang Baihua shook his head and replied, "Song Qian can't go out. My father told me not to let her be seen by anyone else for now."

Ran Yue was surprised. She didn't know about this matter. Wasn't the Yang family very open to their relationship? What forced them to suddenly make a move and hide the mistress when they never did in the past?

"What happened?" Ran Yue asked.

Yang Baihua didn't know what to say. It's not that he couldn't tell her the truth that Song Qian was pregnant... It was so easy for him to announce it to his family. But he couldn't just open his lips and say this to Ran Yue.

Strangely, he didn't want the woman in front of him to find out that he was already expecting an unborn child from his lover.

And so, Yang Baihua told her a half lie, to avoid telling the truth: "My father didn't want her to be seen with me for now. So, they ordered that it's better for her to leave my side and stay somewhere else."

While Yang Baihua was saying these words, he was staring at Ran Yue and observed her reaction.

And surprisingly, he got what he wanted because the moment he finished speaking, Ran Yue's eyes seemed to be twinkling.

Then, as if he was inspired and encouraged by this exploration, Yang Baihua bravely and unashamedly said: "My eyes still feel a bit painful. Ran Yue... can't you stay here with me for a bit longer?"

…

After an hour, the door to the VIP room where Yang Baihua was opened.

Ran Yue looked around the corridor and saw that there weren't that many people walking by. Fixing her hair and dress, she stepped out of the hospital room. She glanced once inside the room where in the bed, the man was silently and peacefully sleeping while tucked under the blanket.

Showing a faint hint of satisfaction and happiness in her eyes, Ran Yue finally closed the door. Her heels clicked against the floor, but no one noticed that something was wrong with the way she was walking.

By the time she finally got out of the entrance of the hospital, her manager's car was already in front of her.

"Why are you in the hospital? Are you not feeling well?" Manager Zhang asked worriedly. When he received her messaged that said that she was at the hospital, he wasted no time to come here.

Ran Yue only smiled and said, "No... I have a friend who got hurt so I went with them to the hospital."

Manager Zhang sighed in relief. For as long as it got nothing to do with his artist, he didn't care. "That's good to know. But you should have told me sooner. Now I have to talk to the photographer and event planner to push back the schedule."

He then paused and stared at her weirdly. "What's that on your neck anyway? Did you get scratched somewhere?"

Ran Yue's hands flew quickly to her neck and flinched when she felt a slight pain. There really was a scratch on her neck. It must have been that time when Yang Baihua...

Manager Zhang didn't seem to notice the strange light in his artist's eyes. However, he turned to the driver and said, "Mr. Driver, did you wash the car before using it?"

Mr. Driver: "Yes... You always complain about it not being cleaned before so I always go to a carwash before I pick you up."

"Then, why does this car smell a bit like squid?" Manager Zhang exclaimed and glared at the driver.

The driver shrugged his shoulders. He sniffed the air and frowned. There really was a nasty smell. But he had just washed the car early this morning and since earlier... there really wasn't a smell. So, why was there a fishy smell now?

"Should we drop by a car wash?" This time, the driver didn't argue with Manager Zhang since he also smelled the fishy scent.

Manager Zhang thought for a second before shaking his head: "Drop us off to our destination first before you send this car out for a wash. I can't waste another minute and have this magazine shoot turn into a disaster." He turned to Ran Yue and said, "Ran Yue, you should also prepare for the photoshoot later."

Author has something to say: Something smells fishy here.... Hmm...
