CHAPTER 158: CHAPTER 158: IT’S SO HARD TO SEE HIM

Yue Xiaoyang smashed the door twice, just as he was about to push it open, Zhang Miaoyan shouted from inside: "Don’t come in!"

Yue Xiaoyang felt a sense of relief, he stopped outside the door, "Still alive? I thought you were dead!"

Zhang Miaoyan then realized she had fallen asleep in the bathtub, forgetting to turn off the faucet, causing water to flow all over the bathroom.

She struggled to climb out of the bathtub, "I took some medicine to bathe, and accidentally fell asleep."

Yue Xiaoyang suddenly punched the door, Zhang Miaoyan was so frightened that she fell into the water. Ignoring the pain in her ankle, she hurriedly grabbed a towel to wrap herself. "Yue Xiaoyang, you scared me to death!"

Yue Xiaoyang shouted at her angrily: "You know what it’s like to be scared now? Taking sleeping pills and lying in the bathtub to sleep, are you a pig? Get out here immediately!"

Zhang Miaoyan couldn’t refute. She climbed up using both her hands and feet, turned off the faucet, and slowly got dressed.

Yue Xiaoyang turned to his study to get the medical kit and ice pack, checking the shelf for medicine, indeed a bottle of sleeping pills was missing.

He was a good doctor, rarely losing his temper with patients. Tonight, he really wanted to break his rule and give Zhang Miaoyan a beating. He was already annoyed enough, and she chose his place to stir up trouble!

Zhang Miaoyan hopped out on one leg, Yue Xiaoyang came in carrying the medical kit, slammed it heavily on the table, "Come over and sit down!"

Zhang Miaoyan didn’t dare to speak, she hopped to the sofa and sat down.

Yue Xiaoyang saw her left foot was swollen like a pig’s trotters, the veins on his forehead throbbed with anger, "Getting yourself in this state, and you still go take a bath?"

Zhang Miaoyan didn’t make a sound, it was better to say less at this time.

Yue Xiaoyang lifted her foot onto the stool, Zhang Miaoyan cried out: "It hurts!"

"Serves you right for the pain!"

Yue Xiaoyang showed no sympathy. He pressed the affected area a few times with his fingers, watching Zhang Miaoyan’s face turn pale from the pain, then applied the ice pack to her.

The cold sensation reduced the pain, Zhang Miaoyan weakly leaned back on the sofa.

Yue Xiaoyang took out ointment and medicinal oil from the medical kit, said: "Half an hour later, remove the ice pack and apply the ointment for swelling and pain relief. Start applying the medicinal oil morning and night from tomorrow, for at least a week, don’t go out."

"Does it have to be that long?"

"Are you the doctor or am I the doctor?"

Zhang Miaoyan saw he was about to yell again, wisely shut her mouth.

Yue Xiaoyang asked seriously: "Tell me, why did you take my sleeping pills?"

Zhang Miaoyan replied: "I couldn’t sleep because of the pain."

Yue Xiaoyang raised his hand and tapped her head, not holding back at all, Zhang Miaoyan saw stars from the blow.

He squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "You have painkillers, why take sleeping pills! How did you even graduate from university with that intelligence?"

Zhang Miaoyan didn’t dare to shout from the pain, she said: "I really couldn’t find the painkillers." The sleeping pills were only taken accidentally when they fell to the ground.

Yue Xiaoyang was about to die from anger, "Forget it, I don’t want to deal with you."

He swept the sleeping pills off the carpet and into the toilet, packed up his things and went upstairs, "Change the medicine later and crawl back to bed yourself, if you can’t crawl, sleep on the sofa. If you stir up trouble again, I’ll throw you out, understood?" He was definitely not joking.

"Got it." Whose fault was it that she was under someone else’s roof?

Yue Xiaoyang added before closing the door: "By the way, call Jun Xi back, or she might think something happened to you."

Then he slammed the door with a "bang."

Zhang Miaoyan knew he and Gong Xiaoyu’s progress had been rough recently, it was inevitable for him to be irritable, she didn’t want to argue with him.

She picked up her phone, indeed there were several missed calls from An Junxi.

Zhang Miaoyan felt touched; at least someone cared about her.

An Junxi was applying lotion at her vanity, her phone rang, she picked it up immediately seeing it was Zhang Miaoyan: "Miaoyan, are you okay?"

"I’m fine, just fell asleep earlier."

An Junxi got up and walked to the balcony, "I thought you were going to do something silly!"

"How could I, I’m most afraid of death," Zhang Miaoyan laughed, "Thank you, Jun Xi."

She sincerely thanked her.

"What for," An Junxi sat on the balcony chair, she said: "You hide your feelings too well, we all thought you..."

"Thought I liked President Gu?"

"Yeah, you fooled all of us."

Zhang Miaoyan hugged the pillow in her arms, her voice distant: "Actually, my feelings are not hidden deep enough, I just really wanted to see him."

"Remember the misunderstanding in the president’s office? Our manager was supposed to report the plan to the president, I overheard the manager saying General Manager Xie from Wansu Technology was also there, so I deliberately spilled half a cup of coffee on the manager to find an excuse to go to the president’s office."

"He and the president were discussing things, the president asked me to sit and report the plan. I sat next to him... at that moment, I was really close to him, my hands were sweating from nervousness, after analyzing the plan, he praised me, saying I adapted well to the headquarters."

As she spoke, Zhang Miaoyan’s calm voice finally showed some fluctuations, with a hint of a smile on her face.

An Junxi could hear the change in Zhang Miaoyan’s emotions, feeling deeply moved, truly loving someone, even if they just glance at you or say a word to you, it’s enough to savor.

Zhang Miaoyan’s feelings for Xie Yuchen were just like that, too heavy and too humble.

Zhang Miaoyan continued: "That one sentence made me happy for a long time. As I was leaving, he accidentally bumped into me, I got flustered and nervous, and ended up falling... He was the one who helped me up in the end."

An Junxi remembered, she walked into the president’s office, saw Zhang Miaoyan being helped up by Xie Yuchen, her face flushed, both nervous and shy.

At that time, she thought Zhang Miaoyan was nervous because of Yi Ke, but it turns out she misunderstood from the beginning.

An Junxi said: "Miaoyan, he just casually helped you up, and you remember it so well?"

Zhang Miaoyan replied: "You don’t understand, Jun Xi, I won’t miss any opportunity to see him, most of the time I can only watch from afar, close contact is impossible, wishing he’d help me up is even more impossible."

"Do you know how hard it is for me to see him? He often stays in the company’s laboratory, rarely attends banquets, unless the president and Xiao Yang are present, then he will join them."

An Junxi suddenly understood something, she said: "So, every time there’s a banquet, you first find out if Yi Ke and Xiao Yang will attend, if they go, you try to follow along... I finally understand why you voluntarily asked to attend Liu Zhiwen’s birthday party."

Including this time going to the farm too, when she called to invite Miaoyan, Zhang Miaoyan originally didn’t want to participate, but after hearing her say "they will visit Mr. Yu," she agreed.

All for the sake of Xie Yuchen.

Zhang Miaoyan’s face showed a bit of melancholy, "On Liu Zhiwen’s birthday, I picked a beautiful dress, hoping he would notice me, but he didn’t... Jun Xi, I used to be very jealous of you, President Gu treated you so well, the Gu Family liked you, even Yuchen said Yi Ke married a good wife, he praised you so highly. I wondered what was so good about you, for a while I even imitated your dressing style and way of speaking, but what’s the use? The person who doesn’t like you, will never like you."
