“b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” Zhao Ya screamed, pouncing at Ye Qian, she looked as if she were going to swallow Ye Qian alive. Ye Qian was not foolish. He didn’t want his arm to get more bite marks. Even before Zhao Ya started to flip out, he had already slipped away and ran.
Ye Qian did not go back to China only to waste away the time. It was also not because he was tired of the mercenary life. Until now, the Wolf Fang’s business had never expanded to China. This was somewhat because Ye Qian was from China, but besides his sense of patriotism there were other reasons. China was not like other countries, it would not acknowledge that the mercenaries existed. Even though mercenaries couldn’t be cla.s.sified as criminals, they still exchanged their lives for money. To the Chinese government, they could not allow this.
But even though China’s government would not let mercenaries exist within the laws of the country, they had still had many dealings with the Wolf Fang.
Ye Qian was a person that could not bear dullness. In his view, men must have an appet.i.te for conquering. Ye Qian had only been back home for a few days, but he already understood that even in China nothing was absolute, it all depended on what style and method you used to do things. Ye Qian took a deep breath and pulled out his phone, “Come to Shanghai!” After saying this, Ye Qian hung up.
After walking a few steps, Ye Qian suddenly remembered that he still hadn’t eaten. Even worse, because he was in a such a hurry in the morning, he forgot to bring money. Should he go back to Zhao Ya? Ye Qian thought about it but then decided against it. That yatou was currently very angry, so it was best to avoid her.
While Ye Qian was deliberating on whether to mooch a meal off of Zhao Ya or not, his phone started to ring. Ye Qian looked at the caller ID and saw that it was his official girlfriend, Lin Rou Rou. “Laopo, missed me?” Ye Qian immediately said upon pressing the answer b.u.t.ton.
Lin Rou Rou was still not used to Ye Qian’s manner of speaking, she was a little distracted as she said, “Ye Qian, Laodie is getting discharged today. Will you come to fetch him?’
“Okay! What time?” Ye Qian’s impishness disappeared as he replied seriously. Laodie held a special position in his heart that could not be replaced. Since Laodie was getting discharged from the hospital, he should get going. These past few days it was Han Xue who was looking after Laodie, but Ye Qian still went to see him for a few hours everyday, except for yesterday because he had to go to work. So now that Laodie was getting discharged he couldn’t not go.
“I’ve already taken care of the discharge papers. We’ll just wait for you to come here.” Lin Rou Rou replied.
“Alright, I’ll leave immediately.” Ye Qian said then hung up. He ran to Qin Yue’s office to ask for the rest of the day off cla.s.s, then he hurriedly went home. It was just as Qin Yue said, now that they were in her territory he must follow her rules, so he informed her before leaving. Qin Yue was also not a heartless person, when he heard that he was going to fetch his Laodie, she did not hesitate to allow it. She also said that if it wasn’t convenient to meet up tonight they could postpone their dinner. Of course, Ye Qian did not agree to this, how could he let such a gold mine go. He had said that even if he collapsed, he would still keep the appointment.
Once he was out of Qin Yue’s office, he immediately hailed a cab to go home, then he got into the Honda he had extorted from Lin Dong and sped to the hospital. Ye Qian did not understand why Lin Dong still had not come to retrieve his car, but if he wasn’t anxious about it, then Ye Qian wouldn’t be either. Anyway he currently didn’t have a car himself, if Lin Dong did not come to ransom his car back then that was his problem.
Zhao Ya was currently still in school, there should be no problem there. If Zhao Tian Hao’s enemies wanted to get her, they probably wouldn’t go to the school to do it anyway. After all, if the matter were to be become too big, it wouldn’t be good for them either. Ye Qian had thought about it this way so he went to the hospital with no worries.
He stopped the car in front of the hospital and directly went into Laodie’s room. Once inside he saw Lin Rou Rou and Han Xue packing up. When he saw Ye Qian enter, Laodie said, “Xiao er, won’t you get in trouble for getting off work when you just started?”
“There’s no problem, the company manager is really good. He understood that I’m coming to get you from the hospital so they allowed me to have the rest of the day off.”
Laodie nodded and said, “Xiao er, now that you have a job you must do well. You only have to be consistent in doing your own work well then it will all be okay. Understand?”
Ye Qian nodded solemnly, Laodie was already so old yet he still worried about him. Ye Qian felt somewhat sorrowful over this. But Ye Qian did not want Laodie to find out his current problems, and did not want him to know what he was really doing currently, or else he would be even more worried. So he temporarily kept it from him and would only let him know bit by bit, so that Laodie would be able to handle it better, “Laodie, don’t worry, don’t be so concerned.” Ye Qian said.
Laodie nodded and did not say more. He knew that Ye Qian was well-behaved, proper person. The things that happened in the past were only because of impulsiveness. Besides, Ye Qian was not yet an adult then. Now he knew how to tell apart right from wrong. He did not have to meddle in his affairs.
Ye Qian walked over to stand beside Lin Rou Rou and placed his arm around her shoulder warmly, “Rou rou, thank you for your help in caring for Laodie.”
Lin Rou Rou and Ye Qian’s relationship status had not yet been told to other people, so Laodie and Han Xue still did not know. When Laodie saw this intimate gesture, at first he was a surprised and stared blankly, but then his expression changed into a smile. He thought, this fellow made me worried for so long, but he already settled this matter himself.
When she saw Laodie’s smiling and laughing expression, Lin Rou Rou became shy and she blushed, wishing that the floor could just swallow her up at that moment. But at the same time she felt extremely happy. “You can go now, the discharge papers are all done. You don’t want to stay here till the New Year, don’t you?” Lin Rou Rou said gently as she gazed at Ye Qian.
Ye Qian laughed and said, “Alright, alright.” After saying this, he picked up Laodie’s luggage and the group of people left the hospital.
Because Lin Rou Rou still had work, she could not escort home herself. When they reached Ye Qian’s car Lin Rou Rou handed over a plastic bag and said, “This is Laodie’s medicine, you have to make sure he takes it at the proper times, understand?”
Ye Qian accepted the plastic bag and poked Lin Rou Rou’s exquisite nose, “Do you know what you’re like right now?”
Lin Rou Rou asked in surprise, “No, like what?”
“Like an extremely adorable xifu.” Ye Qian replied with a smile.
