Volume One, Chapter 8: The Current Ward

At this moment, Ye Aotian also noticed Liu Dong lying on the bed, his eyes wide open like copper bells.

“Wuwuwu.”

Seeing him like this, the pain in Liu Dong’s body eased quite a bit. He vaguely sensed that his body was recovering faster than before, though he didn’t know why.

Yu’er was also taken aback upon seeing Liu Dong. Ye Aotian had the buff of a child of fate, plus Yu’er’s basic medical skills, so usually, injuries and illnesses wouldn’t require a hospital visit.

But this time, Ye Aotian was seriously wounded, which was why she brought him to the hospital. She had heard there was just one bed left, so it was lucky to get it—and unexpectedly, she ran into Liu Dong again.

Looking into Liu Dong’s deep eyes, Yu’er immediately looked away. She dared not meet his gaze directly despite having only met him a few times.

The pain in her hand reminded her of Ye Aotian’s presence. She realized she had neglected Ye Aotian because of another man.

Ye Aotian’s intention was clear: take advantage of the absence of others to kill Liu Dong or at least give him a hard time. But Yu’er was now pretending not to know, lacking the courage to choose.

Liu Dong wasn’t foolish either; he understood the situation perfectly and teased,

“Oh, isn’t this Young Master Ye? How did you get hurt so badly? Who did this? I’ll avenge you.”

“Uh, uh, uh.”

Ye Aotian struggled and fell off the hospital bed, looking as if he was ready to fight Liu Dong to the death.

Seizing the opportunity, Liu Dong kicked Ye Aotian, causing him to yelp in pain.

Just then, the door opened again.

It was Tang Yufei.

Ye Aotian’s heart leapt with joy. He thought that seeing Liu Dong bullying a patient like this would surely make Tang Yufei despise Liu Dong even more. This was his chance to win her back.

“So what if I’m a simp? I, Ye Aotian, am going to be a simp too!”

Immediately, Ye Aotian began whimpering on the floor, feigning weakness.

Liu Dong’s expression darkened.

“What are you doing here?”

“I, I have something to say.”

Tang Yufei hesitated, seeming to have words on the tip of her tongue but unable to speak them, especially as she saw Liu Dong standing over the “mummy” with a cold yet strikingly handsome expression.

Is this the Liu Dong she knew? He was so manly.

“Say what you want directly.”

“Do you like it when people call you ‘daddy’?”

“Ah?”

Everyone present was stunned—what kind of question was that?

“Actually, I also…”

Tang Yufei’s voice was soft and barely audible, and before she could finish, the sound of the door opening interrupted her.

“Daddy, how are you?”

“Yaoyao, why are you here? And dressed like that?”

“Aren’t you supposed to dress like this in the hospital?”

Faced with Su Jinyao’s perfect understanding, Liu Dong’s throat clearly felt dry.

Su Jinyao, like a porcelain doll, wore a pink and slightly loose nurse uniform. Under the short skirt, her slender legs moved gracefully like newborn fawns, wrapped in white stockings that glowed softly.

Her spotless little leather shoes made faint “click-clack” sounds with her light steps.

Seeing Su Jinyao approaching, Ye Aotian lying on the floor whimpered again.

But Su Jinyao acted as if she didn’t see him and stepped right over Ye Aotian’s face.

Yu’er hurried to help Ye Aotian up, but he broke free. Today, he wouldn’t accept this injustice. Despite how pitiful he looked, neither of the two women he had planned for his harem showed any sympathy.

If that was the case, he might as well be trampled to death on the floor.

Su Jinyao soon reached Liu Dong’s side, bent down, and touched his forehead.

Her delicate face was framed by large, shimmering eyes and long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings.

What caught Liu Dong’s attention was the lively feeling beneath her collar, making him suspicious that this little girl might have grown up eating papayas.

Seeing the intense exchange of glances between Liu Dong and Su Jinyao, Tang Yufei felt extremely uncomfortable. Was this still the lickspittle she had once bossed around?

“Liu Dong, if you’re still angry about what I did to you before, I can apologize.”

“No need. Besides, I’m not angry.”

Liu Dong’s tone was indifferent and flat, and what he said was true—after all, he had only courted her to defend Ding Ding, a mutual benefit.

“Here, Daddy, have a grape.”

“Mm, so sweet.”

Liu Dong turned his head and smiled brightly at Su Jinyao.

“Liu Dong, I’m sorry!”

“I said, no need to apologize… Yaoyao, here, have a banana.”

“......”

Liu Dong’s expression flickered between these two women. What could he do? Su Jinyao was a VIP client, after all. In between, he also tried to care for Yu’er with his eyes, which kept him quite busy.

“She can do it, so can I!”

Having said that, Tang Yufei clicked her high heels as she ran to Liu Dong.

Ye Aotian was stepped on again, this time precisely on the other side of his face. He felt like he was about to be knocked out.

Tang Yufei picked up an apple from the table and began peeling it.

Having never done this kind of servitude before, she cut her hand several times with the fruit knife, and fresh blood stained the apple red.

When she handed the first apple she had ever peeled in her life to Liu Dong, his expression remained unchanged.

He didn’t even reach out but turned to eat the grape Su Jinyao had fed him.

Tears welled up in Tang Yufei’s eyes.

“Liu Dong, just wait.”

With that, Tang Yufei turned and left.

After Ye Aotian was stepped on, he felt surprisingly at ease.

“Liu Dong, you big fool. You don’t want the woman handed to you on a silver platter? Just wait until I claim her for my harem.”

Thinking this, Ye Aotian smugly let Yu’er help him up and lay back in bed, humming a little tune.

But before he could revel in his pride for long, the door opened again.

Tang Yufei returned.

Still wearing... a nurse’s uniform!

Only this time, it was clearly custom-designed, predominantly black with lace cutouts, paired with black stockings—extremely seductive.

“Liu Dong, I told you, if she can do it, so can I—and I can do it better.”

Liu Dong was truly surprised this time. He hadn’t expected the former school beauty to have brought a tailored uniform to please him in such a short time.

Ye Aotian spat a mouthful of old blood on the spot.

Tang Yufei turned her head, seemingly just noticing Ye Aotian’s presence. Surprisingly, she walked over to him.

With a proud, arrogant glance at Liu Dong, she seemed to say, “Is that all you’ve got with your uniform temptation? Watch me show you how it’s done, little brat. Tang Yufei is mine now! More sexy than yours!”

As Tang Yufei approached, Ye Aotian became excited, finally about to enjoy some real indulgence.

With a “clang,”

Tang Yufei pulled the privacy curtain around Ye Aotian’s bed, instantly isolating him.

Ye Aotian even thought he heard Tang Yufei mutter softly, “What are you, to be allowed to see me in uniform?”

Looking at the three women who should have been in Ye Aotian’s harem—one in casual homewear, and the other two in black and pink nurse outfits—Liu Dong was reminded of some miscellaneous knowledge.

“‘In front of the husband,’ something something, ‘ward,’ something something…”

He realized he really needed to study more in his spare time.
