Chapter 200 Ye Yingxue's Tenderness
Shanghai, Gongji Hospital.
Ye Yingxue lay on the bed in a VIP ward.
Cao Qingdi is giving her a final check-up.
"Open your mouth," Cao Qingdi said.
Ye Yingxue opened her mouth.
Cao Qingdi carefully examined her mouth and teeth.
"The recovery is going well," Cao Qingdi said. "The wound has healed, but there might be some lingering effects on the teeth."
Ye Yingxue nodded.
"Sister Qingdi, can I still use my teeth?" Ye Yingxue asked.
"Okay," Cao Qingdi said, "but you can't do such dangerous things again. Biting a bullet with your teeth, you really dare to think that. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I, as a doctor, would never have imagined that someone could actually bite a bullet with their teeth..."
Ye Yingxue was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "That's because the young marshal is right behind me. I thought that even if I couldn't catch him, the bullet would still pass through my skull first, giving the young marshal a better chance of survival. After all, I've heard that the human skull is the hardest bone..."
"You..."
Cao Qingdi patted her on the shoulder.
"Get some rest," Cao Qingdi said. "Don't eat anything hard these next few days."
"Understood, Sister Qingdi," Ye Yingxue said.
Cao Qingdi packed up the medical equipment and prepared to leave the ward.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door.
Ye Yingxue raised her head, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Chen Zijun pushed open the door and walked in.
"Little brother, what brings you here..."
Cao Qingdi was somewhat surprised.
"Sister Qingdi," Chen Zijun said, "how is Yanzi doing?"
"Yanzi?" Cao Qingdi was taken aback for a moment, then realized, "You mean Yingxue?"
Chen Zijun said with a smile, "You recommended Yanzi to me as my bodyguard, how could you not know anything about her? Where did she get all that kung fu? It's because she has a master, she comes from the Southern Shaolin Temple, you know. She also has a Dharma name, Shi Xiaoyan. If it weren't for the fact that she is a woman, Yanzi would definitely be the senior disciple of the Southern Shaolin Temple now."
"The recovery is going well." Cao Qingdi's eyes only lit up slightly after hearing this, then she didn't pay much attention. After all, Ye Yingxue and Shi Xiaoyan's loyalty had already been proven enough.
"The wound has healed, but there may be some long-term effects on the teeth."
Chen Zijun nodded.
"I understand," Chen Zijun said.
"Then I'll head out first," Cao Qingdi said. "You two chat."
Cao Qingdi left the ward and gently closed the door.
Ye Yingxue struggled to sit up.
"Don't move." Chen Zi quickly stepped forward to support her. "Rest well."
Ye Yingxue looked at Chen Zijun, a hint of concern flashing in her eyes.
"Young Marshal, I'm not seriously injured, just a few loose teeth, it's nothing serious. How are your injuries?" Ye Yingxue asked.
"Mine? You were blocking my way, how could I possibly be injured?" Chen Zijun said. "But you, you risked your life to save me..."
Ye Yingxue blushed and lowered her head.
"It's what I should do," Ye Yingxue said.
Chen Zijun felt a warmth in his heart and took her hand.
"Yanzi, thank you," Chen Zijun said.
Ye Yingxue raised her head and looked at Chen Zijun.
"Young Marshal, you don't need to thank me," Ye Yingxue said. "I am your bodyguard, and it is my duty to protect you."
"I know," Chen Zijun said, "but you almost lost your life to save me. I will remember this kindness."
Ye Yingxue shook her head.
"Young Marshal, you're too kind," Ye Yingxue said.
Chen Zijun looked at Ye Yingxue, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
This girl, to save him, actually bit the bullet with her teeth. She succeeded; had she failed, she would have used the hardest bone in her head to block that bullet!
He will never forget this kindness.
"Yanzi," Chen Zijun said, "Don't do such dangerous things again."
"But..." Ye Yingxue said, "If you don't do it, you might be in danger."
"I will arrange for more people to protect me," Chen Zijun said. "You don't need to take that risk anymore."
Ye Yingxue remained silent for a moment.
"Young Marshal, I understand," Ye Yingxue said.
Chen Zijun looked at Ye Yingxue and knew exactly what she was thinking. He also knew that if something like this happened again in the future, she would still be the first to stand up for her.
Ye Yingxue lowered her head, her face turning red again, as if she were thinking of something.
"Young Marshal, you..." Ye Yingxue said.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing."
Chen Zijun looked at Ye Yingxue, feeling somewhat puzzled.
The girl seemed to have something to say, but was too shy to say it.
"Yanzi," Chen Zijun said, "if you have anything to say, you can say it directly."
Ye Yingxue raised her head and looked at Chen Zijun.
"Young Marshal, I..." Ye Yingxue said, "There's something I've actually been wanting to tell you."
"What is it?" Chen Zijun asked.
Ye Yingxue hesitated for a moment.
"Young Marshal, I..." Ye Yingxue said, "I like you."
Chen Zijun was stunned.
He didn't expect Ye Yingxue to suddenly say such a thing.
Ye Yingxue looked at Chen Zijun, her face as red as an apple.
"Young Marshal, I know I shouldn't say such things," Ye Yingxue said, "but I really like you."
Chen Zijun remained silent for a moment.
He looked at Ye Yingxue, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
He was moved by this kindness.
However, he already has Cao Qingdi.
"Yanzi," Chen Zijun said, "I'm very touched, but..."
"I know," Ye Yingxue said. "You already have Sister Qingdi."
Chen Zijun nodded.
"I'm sorry," Chen Zijun said.
Ye Yingxue shook her head.
"Young Marshal, you don't need to apologize," Ye Yingxue said. "I just wanted to tell you that I like you. I don't ask for anything, as long as I can stay by your side, just like Sister Huixin and Sister Lanzhi, I'll be content."
Uh……
Same as the two of them?
They were my concubines!
"Yanzi," Chen Zijun said, "you are a good girl."
Ye Yingxue smiled.
Chen Zijun stood up.
"I'll be going now," Chen Zijun said. "I still have a lot of things to take care of."
"Young Marshal, please take care," Ye Yingxue said.
Chen Zijun nodded and turned to leave the ward.
As I stepped out of the ward, Cao Qingdi was waiting outside the door.
"Zijun," Cao Qingdi said.
Chen Zijun stopped in his tracks.
"Sister Cao..." Chen Zijun said.
Cao Qingdi hesitated for a moment.
"Although Yingxue's injuries have healed, her teeth may suffer from long-term effects," Cao Qingdi said. "Moreover, the fact that she bit the bullet with her teeth caused significant damage to her oral cavity, and she may not be able to do such dangerous things again in the future."
Chen Zijun remained silent for a moment.
"I understand," Chen Zijun said. "I will arrange for someone to protect her and prevent her from taking such risks again."
Cao Qingdi nodded.
"And another thing," Cao Qingdi said, "Yingxue's feelings for you..."
"I know," Chen Zijun said.
"What are you planning to do?" Cao Qingdi asked.
Chen Zijun remained silent for a moment.
"I will treat her as my closest relative," Chen Zijun said, "but I have you."
Cao Qingdi smiled.
"I know," Cao Qingdi said. "I'm just reminding you not to hurt her. Besides, you have me, and you also have Huixin and Lanzhi, so adding Yingxue won't make a difference..."
Cao Qingdi patted Chen Zijun on the shoulder.
"Go ahead," Cao Qingdi said. "There are still many things to take care of. A real man shouldn't get bogged down in such trivial matters. Leave it to me!"
Chen Zijun nodded and turned to leave the hospital.
Back at the Chen mansion, Chen Zijun went into the study.
Shen Li was waiting for him.
"Young Marshal," Shen Li said.
"How is it?" Chen Zijun asked.
"The operation to block all routes out of Shanghai has begun," Shen Li said. "All ports, train stations, and airports have been monitored."
Chen Zijun nodded.
"Very good," Chen Zijun said. "We must catch the 'five-step snake'."
"Understood," Shen Li said.
"In addition," Chen Zijun said, "arrange for someone to protect Yingxue."
"Okay," Shen Li said.
Chen Zijun sat down and picked up the documents on the table.
Although Japan's intelligence network has been eliminated, there are still many things to deal with.
Japan's retaliation, the reactions of the great powers, the domestic situation...
He had to handle everything personally.
Chen Zijun sighed and began to work.
