Ye Xingchen felt uneasy in his heart.

"Hey, Jin's performance in the past two years seems not as good as before. Why did Zuo Lingfeng cooperate with them?"

"That's right, and the newspaper said that Zuo Lingfeng invested 70% of the cooperation this time!"

"Ah? Isn't this obviously cheaper than Jin? What is he trying to do?"

"What are you trying to do? Just smile with a beautiful woman!" Someone said something and his tone was slightly sour.

"Shhh...you can speak softly..."

Ye Xingchen suddenly lost his appetite. For a while, Zuo Lingfeng came to see her every day. There were already rumors in the hospital, and now he couldn't explain it clearly. But it would be fine if he had a misunderstanding, but is it really a misunderstanding?

No, it's impossible to be such a coincidence.

Thinking of the phone call that Lou Xi suddenly hung up last night, she felt even more worried. Could it be... Did Zuo Lingfeng really help her?

She took out her cell phone and had the urge to call Zuo Lingfeng, but she was a little hesitant. Would it be too presumptuous? But if she didn't call, she wouldn't be able to figure out the truth.

Although she was unwilling to continue to have any involvement with Zuo Lingfeng, she had to figure out Ms. Jin's matter, and she had to accept this great favor without knowing it.

After a little trouble, she gritted her teeth and dialed. The phone was quickly picked up. She took a deep breath and said, "Is it Mr. Zuo? I am Ye Xingchen."

"I know it's you." He was not surprised.

Ye Xingchen bit his lip slightly and said hesitantly, "Mr. Zuo, do you have time tonight? I have something to talk to you."

"Okay." He said without any hesitation, "I'll pick you up after get off work."

"No need for Mr. Zuo!" She interrupted him quickly, thought for a while, and said, "Will we go to the last Beijing restaurant? See you at six o'clock."

"..." He hesitated for a moment, as if he was regretful, "Okay."

◎◎◎

During the break of get off work, Zuo Lingfeng did not comply with the agreement, so he came to the hospital to pick her up. Lamborghini stopped downstairs, which was very cool.

Ye Xingchen felt a little annoyed, but in order to avoid attracting crowds of people, he had to get on the bus quickly.

As soon as she sat down, she looked up and saw a small but delicate little bear hanging in front of the car window.

Her eyes paused slightly, and Zuo Lingfeng also noticed it, but said indifferently, "If you think it is cute, you can buy it. By the way, do you still like that little bear last time?"

Ye Xingchen's heart skipped a beat. The little bear was thrown into the trunk by the rhinoceros, and then it was left alone.

She nodded awkwardly without making any noise.

Zuo Lingfeng didn't ask any more questions, and started the engine and drove out quickly.

As he got farther and farther away, the car moved forward steadily, and the little bear swayed around, Ye Xingchen's heart became more and more uneasy. Zuo Lingfeng knew that she liked Beijing food, knew that she liked the little bear, and knew that she was involved in a medical dispute. Why did he know her so well? He had investigated her specifically? He even spent a lot of money to help her resolve the medical dispute?

She was restless, and the feeling of being seen through and owing huge debts to her was extremely uneasy.

Finally arrived at the restaurant. Despite her obstruction, Zuo Lingfeng forced himself to order many dishes, which were all her favorites.

During the meal, neither of them spoke much. He asked, "Are you in the hospital these days?"

Ye Xingchen nodded, "It's here, but it's very leisurely."

Zuo Lingfeng naturally understood her mood and comforted her, "It's only temporary. After the pathology report comes out, you can be reinstated."

Ye Xingchen was slightly stunned. Sure enough, he knew everything!

"Mr. Zuo, can I ask you a question?" She decided to showdown.

"sure."

"I saw in the newspaper that you will cooperate with Jin. I don't know much about business, but I also vaguely know that Lingfeng Group does not take advantage of this cooperation, so why do you do this?"

Zuo Lingfeng didn't expect her to be so direct. It seemed that she had to endure it all night and finally didn't want to endure it anymore.

He looked at her with a little more seriousness and said, "If I said, I was for you, would you be very angry?"

Ye Xingchen's hand holding the chopsticks suddenly squeezed it tightly, "I'm not angry, but I don't understand."

Now, she can't pretend to be stupid anymore. Zuo Lingfeng's "good" towards her is really not something that can be explained in just a few words, but what does he mean? Although she has never been in a relationship, she has also seen a lot. Whether it is classmates, colleagues, or friends, no man around her "chasing" girls like this! Even Lou Xi once said directly to look at her everywhere, but Zuo Lingfeng never said a special word, but she is always in control of everything about her, including her preferences, and even her difficulties!

"Mr. Zuo, please forgive me for taking the blame. I don't want to be self-indulgent, but can you point it directly, what do you mean?"

"I'm so troubled you?"

"Yes." She said bluntly.

Zuo Lingfeng suddenly fell silent. It seemed that her tolerance and patience had been exhausted. If he said that he liked her at this moment, she would probably turn around and leave. Maybe it would be difficult for her to meet in the future.

He nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "I don't mean anything, I just want to be nice to you."

"But your kindness puts me in a lot of pressure."

"You don't need to be stressed, I don't need you to repay anything."

A feeling of helplessness and even powerlessness came. Ye Xingchen never knew that it would be so difficult to communicate with others. They were not close to each other, so why should he be kind to her? Why should she accept his efforts with peace of mind? She had heard of her colleagues' gossip. Zuo Lingfeng was very generous to his previous ex-girlfriends, but she was neither a actress nor a supermodel. What did he like about her?

She put down her chopsticks, almost exhausted and weak, and asked, "What's good about me?"

"I want to be nice to you just because you are not good enough."

His answer was almost blurted out without thinking, as if he was instinct, which made Ye Xingchen's heart beat wildly. She hurriedly went to get the bottle of wine, trying to pour a glass for herself to calm his palpitations, but he suddenly reached out and his hand touched her, as if he was electrocuted. She flashed quickly, and the bottle fell down with a "bang", but it was not broken, but the wine spilled out and splashed all over him.

"Yes, I'm sorry!" She stood up in a hurry.

"nothing……"

Outside the door, the waiter rushed in immediately after hearing the sound, "Mr. Zuo, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Zuo Lingfeng took off his coat, put it on the back of the chair, and then walked towards the door, "I'll go to the bathroom."

The waiter hurriedly led the way.

Ye Xingchen was frozen in place, nervous and annoyed, watching them leave, but his eyes suddenly froze.

A figure suddenly stopped at the door of the private room. The light in the corridor was dim, but it could not hide the sharpness of Lou Xi's sharp eyes. There was another person beside him, like his friend. He glanced at her, then turned his head and said something to his friend. The man immediately entered the box opposite.

Lou Xi turned to her again, her eyes fixed, Ye Xingchen's body shook, and saw him strode towards him, with a "click" sound, it was the sound of the door of the private room locking.
