Chapter 253: Chapter 253 Admitting to Liking Chapter 253: Chapter 253 Admitting to Liking Yin Hehe had never heard such a straightforward confession from this man before, and her face couldn’t help but flush with redness.

She actually missed him too.

When the two returned to the hospital room, the nurse had taken Little Bun and had not yet brought him back, leaving just the two of them in the room temporarily.

“Have you eaten?” Yin Hehe asked as she came in, still quite concerned about this matter.

The man nodded: “Had a bit on the plane.”

Yin Hehe: “How can the food on a plane be good? Shall I see if there’s anything to eat in the cafeteria?”

After saying this, she headed out of the ward.

Sheng Siyuan didn’t stop her.

He was a bit tired now, having not slept well for two days due to handling funeral affairs at home, and he just wanted to rest properly.

Sheng Siyuan settled himself at the small table beside the bed.

“Ding…”

Just as he sat down, the screen of the mobile phone on the table lit up.

“President, our construction company has been inspected, and we still have several projects in our hands.”

It turned out to be a message from the marketing director.

Sheng Siyuan’s brows furrowed, and he had to sit up to reply to the message.

“Isn’t our construction company not contracting projects in the capital? Why suddenly get inspected?”

“It’s not, but recently the projects we’ve contracted are all from official sources, like the highway in the Northeast, which was directly approved, and in the end, Shengshi Group won the bid at an amount of hundreds of billions!”

The marketing director sent the message, patiently explaining.

A single highway amounting to hundreds of billions, and then there were other projects, who knew to what extent that figure would reach.

Sheng Siyuan put down his mobile phone with a grim expression.

It wasn’t long before Yin Hehe walked in with two bowls of steaming noodles.

“There’s nothing else, so I made you a bowl of noodles; it’ll have to do.”

She came over to the small table, placing the noodles in front of the man.

There were no rich ingredients, just a bowl of simple noodles, but she had thoughtfully fried a sunny-side-up egg on top.

Sheng Siyuan smiled.

He picked up the chopsticks and began eating the noodles from the bowl, and after a moment, he showed a very satisfied expression.

“Mrs. Sheng’s cooking is quite good.”

“Don’t flatter me. How are your mother’s funeral arrangements going? The Wang Family didn’t cause any trouble, did they?”

Yin Hehe poured herself a cup of water and sat down, asking.

She was quite concerned about this matter.

After all, he had never asked her to attend the funeral.

But she saw that upon hearing the question, the man didn’t show much of a reaction; he just continued eating his noodles and gave a faint “Mhm.”

“What can they make a fuss about? It’s not like my mother jumped from the building because we forced her. And besides, my grandmother is around; they wouldn’t dare to act rashly.”

“Grandmother?”

This caught Yin Hehe’s attention.

“I’ve heard before how formidable your grandmother is. Your grandfather died early, and she held the family together all by herself.”

“Mm,” Sheng Siyuan nodded.

“She is indeed incredible. I don’t have any uncles, and when my grandfather passed away, he left behind a lot of wealth. Those in the clan wanted to bully my grandmother and seize the family assets, so my grandmother acknowledged the old lady from the capital’s Bai Family as her godmother.”

He continued to eat the noodles while recalling his grandmother’s past, patiently narrating.

Yin Hehe grew even more interested.

“The old lady Bai you’re talking about, is that the one from one of the capital’s four great families?”

“You know about this too?” The man looked up at her, quite surprised.

Yin Hehe nodded.

“In our line of work, most of the prominent figures from various countries will try to find out about the Four Great Families of the imperial capital, which are the Bai, Duan, Shen, and the double-surnamed Xiahou family, right?”

Yin Hehe searched her mind for this information before she spoke.

Sheng Siyuan was again taken by surprise.

This information might not even be known to the citizens of the imperial capital because these four major families were really low-key.

“You’re right, it’s the Bai family among them.”

“Then your grandmother is very smart. Although the Bai family is ranked last among the Four Great Families, their power is also quite strong. With their support, your grandmother must have been able to hold sway over her family clansmen.”

Yin Hehe showed genuine admiration for the old lady.

Sheng Siyuan nodded, “Yes, and now the Wang family has a very good relationship with the Bai family. When my mom was young, Madam Bai, who had no daughters, always treated her like her own granddaughter.”

“That good?”

“Mm-hmm, so it also fostered my mom’s petulant and willful nature. Even in her old age, she hasn’t changed much and does whatever she pleases.”

When Sheng Siyuan said the last sentence, his tone had paused midway, already implying that he was making excuses for his mother.

Probably, he wanted Yin Hehe to forgive her for all that she had done to her, considering that his mother was no longer around.

Yin Hehe smiled.

He was really silly, how could she still be bothered with all that?

“However, if that’s the case, should we go look for the Bai family? They should be able to suppress Jian Zhongzhou, right?”

Yin Hehe suddenly thought of this.

Unfortunately, the man shook his head, “The Bai family is not what it used to be; they have declined.”

“Okay,” Yin Hehe sighed with regret.

After a moment, she got up to pick up her child. Sheng Siyuan watched her leaving figure before picking up his phone again.

“Have you set off yet?”

“We’ve already set off, President, and we’ll soon arrive in Chongzhou.”

Xu Guannan responded from the other side.

Sheng Siyuan looked at the message for a few seconds, as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately he put down the phone.

A night of tranquility.

The next day, Sheng Siyuan went back to Jiangbei, leaving Youyou at the Drug Rehabilitation Center to accompany Yin Hehe.

“Mommy, you sleep well, okay? Youyou will be here to protect you.”

Little Bun was exceptionally sensible. Seeing that her dad was not around, she took the initiative to stay beside the sickbed to take care of Mommy.

Warmth filled Yin Hehe’s heart.

After the treatment ended, Yin Hehe took her daughter out to get some air and found Doctor Qin chatting happily with the nurses in his office.

She took her daughter over.

“Wow, who is this? Where did this cute little one come from?”

As soon as the nurses saw the rosy-cheeked Little Bun, they couldn’t hide their excitement.

Youyou looked up with her little head and responded to them robustly.

“It’s Youyou baby, nurse sister, you look like a little fairy today.”

“Oh my!!”

The nurse was so flattered by the sweet talk that she almost fainted.

Before long, everyone took Little Bun to play, leaving only Yin Hehe and Doctor Qin in the Drug Rehabilitation Center.

“Xiaoyin, the Drug Rehabilitation Center in Jiangbei is already being prepared. You should be able to transfer there in about half a month.”

“Really?” Yin Hehe was instantly overjoyed at the news.

Doctor Qin nodded with a smile.

“Of course, it’s true. This was arranged through a connection General Xiahou, a leader, personally requested. Since he has agreed, there should be no problems.”

“General Xiahou?”

Yin Hehe was genuinely surprised to hear about the head of the Four Great Families of the imperial capital.
