Yun Qiqi lay on her soft, snowy-white bed in her room, but she slept restlessly.

She seemed to dream of Yan Yan, the man in the dream had that familiar lazy curve at the corners of his mouth, a touch of wickedness, leaning back on the sofa and opening his arms toward her.

He carried a familiar scent, along with a flutter that made her heart race, and a deep-seated longing.

She seemed to shout "beautiful woman," then rushed into his arms. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

But as she ran towards him, it was as if something was stopping her from getting close, keeping her from touching him.

At five in the morning, Yun Qiqi opened her eyes and sat up in bed, staring blankly at the dark room.

Her dark eyes were hollow, and her small face was dazed.

After a while, she extended her hand to wipe her face.

Her fingertips touched cold liquid.

The young girl blinked, staring at the crystal-like substance in her hand, her gaze was stunned and numb, as if she was thinking about something, or perhaps thinking of nothing at all.

After quite a while, she climbed out of bed, poured a cup of hot water, and sat on the balcony quietly watching the night sky at five in the morning.

Suddenly, an impulse arose.

She wanted desperately to see Yan Yan.

It was only then that she remembered, it seemed they hadn’t seen each other for several days.

Not even a phone call.

Shi Yunshen had initially prepared himself to talk to Yun Qiqi in the morning and inquire about the situation.

Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, the young girl was already dressed and sitting at the dining table.

Shi Yunshen thought he was seeing things, he checked the time: "Isn’t today Saturday? Why are you up by seven?"

"I need to go to work."

"Yan Shi?"

"Mm." She nodded lightly.

Shi Yunshen was even more baffled, he glanced at her with an eerie look.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Why the sudden interest to go? Haven’t you not been going for several days?"

As he spoke, Xu Hong, who was bringing out porridge from the kitchen, hesitated and lowered her eyes, silently eavesdropping.

Yun Qiqi remained expressionless: "I don’t know, I just want to see him."

Shi Yunshen: "..."

What’s going on?

Last night, he had just discussed strategies with Jiang Lihua, planning to use the matter concerning Yan Yan to provoke her, but she didn’t even need them to speak and already wanted to see Yan Yan?

It appears Yan Yan has a significant place in her heart.

Or perhaps, the Doctor’s control over her isn’t that deep?

Shi Yunshen was a bit confused, but when he saw Xu Hong’s pale face as she left, he realized it was probably a good thing for them.

"Alright then."

Shi Yunshen wasn’t giving up on finding a chance to chat with her to probe the situation, but it was clearly not the time, as Xu Hong was still present.

The apartment wasn’t a suitable place for conversation.

He intended to ask her on the way to Yan Shi, but as they walked downstairs together, a luxurious car, worth millions, quietly waited there.

A man in a gray suit leaned against the car, his face stunning, but with such an intimidating aura that no one dared to look directly at him.

Yet, upon seeing Yun Qiqi, his eyes and brows instantly softened, reaching his hand out towards her: "Little Gua."

Shi Yunshen could visibly see the once cold young girl beside him immediately brighten up, quickly walking over and then throwing herself into the man’s arms.

Shi Yunshen: "...???"

What happened to being controlled??

Has Yan Yan reached a status in our young lady’s heart that’s beyond even the Doctor’s capability??

Or was Jiang Lihua’s guess incorrect?
