One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love

Chapter 524 - 522: Yuan Xiaopang’s Love (19)

The car drove through the estate full of sycamores and then came to a white building.Yu Meng got out of the car and saw the sign outside which read: Ye Family Private Hospital.

She glanced sideways at the man who was eagerly following Ye Ruo and frowned, "What’s going on with Ye Xu? Is he in the hospital..."

Ye Xu immediately ran over, "Um, there was a bit... of an accident, big brother got a bit hurt, but it’s nothing serious. Sister-in-law, you don’t need to worry, quickly go in! He’s waiting for you."

Yu Meng’s heart tightened, her expression mixed with concern and calmness, "Hurry, lead the way—"

...

Opening the door to the ward, Yu Meng walked in and saw him lying on the hospital bed with his right hand wrapped in bandages, the room full of people, each holding notebooks as if reporting matters.

As soon as she entered, countless pairs of eyes turned toward her.

So many eyes, yet none of them were sincere; they were more calculating than genuine.

She looked at the person on the sickbed; as her gaze shifted, she met a pair of serene eyes. He smiled at her with an ineffable charm.

This man was so handsome it made her feel inferior, standing in front of him like an ugly lady.

Ye Zheng glanced at the others and said coldly, "Whatever’s unfinished, come back tomorrow."

"Yes—"

The roomful of people answered in unison.

After everyone filed out, Yu Meng stepped in, worryingly walking to the bedside to look at his hand, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn’t." Ye Zheng motioned her to sit down with his other hand, saying, "I actually didn’t plan to fetch you so soon. It was Ye Xu who said you bring a lively atmosphere; otherwise, this place is dead quiet, without any popularity. I couldn’t dissuade him, so I let him have his way."

Yu Meng chuckled quietly, turning to complain to Ye Xu, only to find the space behind her empty, just a single closed door—

"Hey! He didn’t come in."

Ye Zheng laughed, "He’s sensible in these matters, knowing I want to talk to you alone, he’s probably waiting at the door."

"Meng Meng—"

"Hmm?" Yu Meng looked up, her lively big eyes meeting his always cool yet mysteriously deep gaze.

Her breathing suddenly tightened under his scrutiny, hurriedly shifting the topic, "How did your hand get hurt? Was it hit by something?"

The only thing Yu Meng could think of was a car accident or something similar, what else could it be—

Ye Zheng watched her calmly, his gaze cool with a touch of warmth, "My hand isn’t important, what matters is you... You seem to have lost weight recently, you haven’t been eating properly."

"...No." Yu Meng felt a bit embarrassed, rubbing her head and ears, "I haven’t missed a meal, but somehow I seem to have lost some weight. Is losing weight bad?"

"Nowadays, girls are all slim; clothes fit better when they’re skinny—"

Her weight had always been around 150 pounds, last time she lost 10 pounds; recently, while he was away, with no one cooking delicious meals for her daily, she lost another 5 pounds—

So now she’s probably around 135 pounds, getting closer to her target of 100 pounds.

Ye Zheng’s gaze was sincere, "You don’t need to compare yourself to them, just be yourself. It doesn’t matter if you’re thin or plump, as long as you’re healthy."

"...Beautiful."

"Hmm?"

"Actually, I’ve always wanted to ask you, have we met somewhere before?"

"..."

Ye Zheng raised his phoenix-like eyes slightly, "Why ask this all of a sudden?"

"Otherwise... why are you so good to me? Others despise me, but you... you stay by my side."

Ye Zheng smiled faintly, "I also want to know why. How about you think it over and let me know when you have the answer."

Yu Meng: "..."

——

On the day Yu Meng arrived in Yu City, all the prominent young ladies from respectable families were furiously eating.

Because it was rumored that Young Master Ye preferred someone with a bit more weight.
