Captured Hearts: The Substitute Bride’s Gambit

Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Sheng Tingyuan, Can You Stop Pressing Randomly? Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Sheng Tingyuan, Can You Stop Pressing Randomly? “You want me to sleep on the floor while you hog the entire bed? I refuse to sleep on the floor.”

Ye Chuyi pushed him hard to the side, then lay down on the bed, “Hmm, the beds in our hospital are quite comfortable.”

Sheng Tingyuan’s gaze moved away from his cellphone and landed on her.

Lying on her side with her back to him, her curves were startlingly exquisite. The hem of her pajamas had ridden up, revealing a slender waist with skin so fair it was tinged with a faint peach blush—very pleasing to the eye.

Sheng Tingyuan silently withdrew his gaze, pulled over the blanket, and covered her with it.

Ye Chuyi, however, took the blanket off, “I’m so hot, I don’t need it.”

Sheng Tingyuan looked at her pink-flushed face, shook his head, and said nothing more.

He got up to turn off the light, then lay back down on the bed, ready to rest.

In the darkness, rustling sounds of flipping sides came from beside him, and with each turn she made, a subtle fragrance wafted through the air.

In half an hour, she had flipped sides twelve times.

Sheng Tingyuan was on the verge of collapse. Unable to bear it any longer, he reached out and held her still, “Are you making pancakes? Stop flipping.”

Ye Chuyi stiffened, “Sheng Tingyuan, could you not touch randomly?”

Sheng Tingyuan withdrew his hand, “Sorry.”

Ye Chuyi stayed stiff for a while but soon started flipping sides again.

Another half hour passed, and Sheng Tingyuan finally lost it completely.

He got out of bed, spread the blanket on the cold floor, then picked up Ye Chuyi and laid her down on it.

Ye Chuyi looked at him in disbelief, “Sheng Tingyuan, are you even human? I thought you were going to sleep on the floor yourself, so you’re making me sleep there?”

Sheng Tingyuan, “You make noise when you flip sides in bed, but not on the floor. The floor suits you well.”

“So heartless.”

Ye Chuyi said through gritted teeth, but she didn’t go to fight him for the bed.

Because the floor was cool and, unexpectedly, more comfortable than the bed.

After a while, she finally fell asleep.

Sheng Tingyuan, however, had been so disturbed by her that he lost all desire to sleep. In the dimness, he watched her curled up into a tiny ball on the floor, sighed, then got up and gently carried her back to the bed.

After all, she was the ace doctor of Dome Hospital and the most cherished genius student of the medical authority An Huadong; making her sleep on the floor seemed a bit too much even for him.

The next day.

When Ye Chuyi woke up, she found herself on the bed, and Sheng Tingyuan was nowhere to be seen.

She sat up, rubbed her eyes, “Was sleeping on the floor last night just a hallucination?”

Or was Sheng Tingyuan worried that Tang Jin would find out she had slept on the floor, so he carried her back to bed?

She shook her head, got out of bed to freshen up, then went to check on Tang Jin.

Tang Jin’s condition had improved from the day before; she could now sit up and eat on her own.

Reassured by her good recovery, Ye Chuyi had breakfast with her, then returned to her office to prepare for the new day’s work.

Her assistant walked in, “Doctor Anxin, that patient you asked me to keep an eye on, finally contacted me proactively.”

“Which patient?”

“Ye Jinyu.”

Ye Chuyi perked up, it was Lady Wen, she quickly asked, “Is she willing to come in for a follow-up?”

The assistant passed her the cellphone, “Not exactly, she didn’t mention anything about a follow-up. She just asked if you’ve been busy recently and such, it looks more like small talk.”

Ye Chuyi took the cellphone and read through the chat logs twice, then frowned, “Strange, she’s unwilling to come for a follow-up, so why would she suddenly think to chat with us?”

Half an hour earlier, Qi Hospital.

Qi Yunfan handed Wen Nianyou a delicate gift box.

Wen Nianyou accepted the gift box, her face brimming with surprise, “Brother Yunfan, what’s this? Is today some special holiday?”

Qi Yunfan looked at her tenderly, “Do I need an occasion to give you a gift? You’re in my heart; whenever I see something good, whether it’s a holiday or not, I’ll buy it and give it to you right away.”

Wen Nianyou took the gift box, overwhelmed, “Brother Yunfan, you’re not angry with me anymore. I was afraid that you’d blame me and never pay attention to me again!”

“How could that be? The issue with the pharmaceuticals has been resolved, hasn’t it? How could I blame you?”

Qi Yunfan spoke with magnanimity, “My father went to India on business a few days ago. He has found a new supplier, and the purchasing cost is even lower. We won’t have to worry about being blocked by Jungle Pharmaceutical anymore.”
