When Yuejie saw Grandma Shi coming out of the hospital room, she immediately brightened and asked, "Grandma, how is Brother Ling Yan?"
Yun Du, who was standing to the side and heard this address, couldn’t help but secretly sneer, "She’s already calling her grandma, and doesn’t even bother to use a title. Talk about obvious intentions!"
Grandma Shi shook her head in response to Bai Yuejie’s question, "He’s asleep, he just woke up and doesn’t have much energy."
Although Yuejie had expected this, she still felt very disappointed when she heard these words.
She forced a smile and said, "I see."
Grandma Shi felt somewhat embarrassed.
After all, she was the one who had invited her over, and now she couldn’t even let her see him, making her come all this way for nothing.
Scratching her face, Grandma Shi said, "Have you eaten? How about we have dinner together tonight?"
Yuejie smiled, "Sure."
Yun Du thought to himself: She couldn’t ask for more.
Tsk, how the moral standards have fallen.
Shi Mei bid farewell to Granny Tang and headed to the airport.
By the time she arrived in the Imperial City, it was already evening.
As night fell, the city lights began twinkling.
Ye Tiao yawned and said, "Why do I have to suffer with you, I was doing just fine in Yan City, I must be out of my mind."
Shi Mei clicked her tongue, "It was you who insisted I come here to find a good location for a new branch in the Imperial City. How quickly this woman backpedals!"
"Let’s go," Ye Tiao rubbed her belly, "I’m starving, let’s eat something."
"I saw you eat quite a bit on the plane just now."
"Damn, I’m growing, of course my digestion is fast!"
Shi Mei shook her head, "Almost thirty and still growing?"
Ye Tiao laughed in irritation, "Wanna fight?"
Shi Mei chuckled, glanced at her chest, and said, "No matter how much we fight, it won’t grow, better give up."
Ye Tiao was so angry she raised her fist, but Shi Mei swiftly dodged, laughed out loud, and took off running.
"Stand the hell still!" Ye Tiao shouted.
Shi Mei’s laughter grew louder, carried away by the wind.
In that moment, her mood reached an unparalleled level of relaxation.
It had been a long time since she had been so carefree.
There was no need to worry about being exposed for her true identity, no need to worry about someone taking her life when she least expected it.
In the Imperial City, the emperor seemed so far away, and no one knew who she was.
Finally, Ye Tiao trapped Shi Mei under her armpit and dragged her along, her face boiling with anger.
"Damn!" a loud exaggerated shout came from a young man in an ostentatiously white coat approaching them, "Ye Zi, since when did you switch teams?"
Ye Tiao, with her nearly one-meter-eight stature combined with her androgynous and attractive outfit, and Shi Mei with her petite lovely appearance, certainly gave off a misleading impression when seen together.
A few passersby turned to look and were amazed by the beauty of Shi Mei and Ye Tiao.
But everyone was accustomed to such sights; aside from the murmurs of admiration at their looks, there were no other reactions.
Only some of the older generation showed disdain when they glanced over.
Shi Mei hung obediently off Ye Tiao’s arm, and upon seeing the young man who had come to pick them up, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
This guy was their good friend, Xu Cuo.
They had gone from primary school to high school together, and then in university, he had left them far behind, choosing to pursue his career in the capital.
He was busy, and so was she.
Figuring it out, they hadn’t seen each other for at least seven or eight years.
Ye Tiao glared at him, "You’re the one who’s switched!"
Grinning sheepishly, Xu Cuo said, "How did you know?"
