Chapter 28

Tang Mingxi swallowed his fried egg, thinking, What was bound to come had come. One of the male lead's absolute taboos—the legendary little sister in "parents dead, sister alive, house owned"!

"You're going to see your sister?" Tang Mingxi asked.

Ye Heng lowered his lashes and reminded him, "You said we'd visit once every six months."

Oh...

Maybe. Anyway, he hadn't said it; the original Tang Mingxi probably had.

He couldn't be bothered with how many times a year Ye Heng visited his sister. Even if Ye Heng lived at the hospital, Tang Mingxi had no right to interfere.

Ye Heng spoke blandly. "Are you free today?"

Tang Mingxi glanced at him, thinking, Does he want me to go see Ye Yue with him?

His first thought was to refuse!

Tang Mingxi had wanted to go swimming that morning!

But he was still holding the breakfast porridge Ye Heng had cooked. One went soft when eating another's food, and the refusal circled around in his mouth without coming out.

He remembered that Ye Heng had taken care of him all day yesterday. Then it was only right for him to accompany him to see his sister, wasn't it?

After agreeing to visit Ye Yue at City First Hospital with Ye Heng, Tang Mingxi inexplicably became a little nervous.

He and Ye Heng were a textbook plastic couple. This would be his first time meeting the other man's family.

In any case, he couldn't dress too casually.

Tang Mingxi first spent ages picking out clothes in the walk-in closet. One moment, he thought the jeweled brooch was too ostentatious; the next, he thought the pink tie was insufficiently dignified.

After much deliberation, he chose a clean white shirt and a pair of more casual trousers, paired with a simple watch. It made him look a little less flamboyantly gorgeous and a little more gentle and domestic.

There shouldn't be anything to criticize, right?

Tang Mingxi nervously turned in front of the mirror.

Mm!

Steady without losing gentleness.

Domestic without losing dignity.

This deserved a full score of one hundred.

Once he had finished fussing, he ignored the brief flicker in Ye Heng's eyes when he saw him emerge. Only after sitting in the back seat of the Maybach did he suddenly remember.

Ye Yue had been blind for a long time already :)

So what was the point of him spending an hour carefully dressing up at home? :)

Tang Mingxi brooded for a long time over spending an hour dressing up only for no one to appreciate it.

It was not until the Maybach discreetly stopped across from City First Hospital that he got out and suddenly said, "Is it inappropriate for me to visit your sister empty-handed?"

Ye Heng closed the car door, glanced at him, and showed a questioning expression.

Tang Mingxi muttered to himself, "How about I buy a fruit basket or something..."

He rarely visited patients at hospitals and didn't really know what to buy.

Whenever he had gone before, his parents had bought everything for him, and he had only needed to carry it.

Tang Mingxi happened to be standing in front of a fruit shop after getting out of the car, so without another word, he bought two fruit baskets.

They were just so heavy to carry qvq.

He silently stopped walking and refused to move.

Ye Heng noticed the resentful look in Second Young Master Tang's eyes. For some reason, he inexplicably let out a brief sigh inwardly.

As though inspired, he took the fruit baskets from Tang Mingxi's hands.

Heh, dog of a man, at least you knew what was good for you :)

Tang Mingxi rubbed his wrists. He was definitely muttering curses about him again in his heart.

Ye Heng had noticed that over the past half year, Tang Mingxi seemed like a completely different person.

Compared to the foolish and vicious person he had once been, his thoughts were now written all over his face, and his microexpressions were extraordinarily vivid.

He had appeared so vibrantly in Ye Heng's life, brilliantly beautiful in a way Ye Heng could not ignore.

The inpatient building of City First Hospital carried the distinctive smell of disinfectant. In the elevator, Tang Mingxi could not help tidying his hair and clothes in the mirror again.

He had repeated those movements no fewer than three times since getting out of the car.

"You look good."

Like a golden canary preening its feathers, Tang Mingxi suddenly heard a voice by his ear, and his grooming motion paused.

Holding the fruit baskets, Ye Heng said blandly, "You look good. So there's no need to keep fixing yourself up."

Even if he fixed himself up, Ye Yue wouldn't be able to see it.

Tang Mingxi: (.)

He had thought the dog male lead hadn't noticed that he had changed clothes today. So he had noticed.

"Really?" Tang Mingxi asked doubtfully.

"Mm." Ye Heng did not look at him. He merely stared ahead and spoke expressionlessly. "Can beauty like this really exist? Is this a fairy?"

Tang Mingxi: ...

All right, dog of a man. I know you learn quickly; you don't need to force out rainbow farts while wearing that deadpan face :)

It was unbelievably jarring!!

Ye Yue's VIP room was on the sixteenth floor. The one who opened the door was a nurse around twenty years old.

The moment she saw Ye Heng, she blushed, immediately recognizing him. "Mr. Ye, you're here."

Then the nurse saw Tang Mingxi standing behind Ye Heng, and her expression froze slightly.

Tang Mingxi had never visited Ye Yue, so the nurse did not know him. But that did not stop his heaven-defying beauty from blinding her. It was the first time she had felt that if someone was too beautiful, passersby who saw them could genuinely become dizzy.

She stood there dumbly for several seconds. It was not until Ye Heng pushed the door open and entered that the nurse came back to herself, her face turning scarlet as she lowered her head and left.

Tang Mingxi was used to this sort of thing. In his previous life, while he was still in school, plenty of girls had flirted with him and confessed to him. But his parents had been strict and forbidden him from dating early.

As a result, he had not even held a girl's hand before transmigrating into a novel and directly becoming someone else's wife qvq.

Tang Mingxi took a deep breath and followed behind Ye Heng.

Although he knew Ye Yue could not see them, Tang Mingxi still deliberately moved closer to Ye Heng, creating the atmosphere of, "Yes, that's right, your brother and I are madly in love."

Hearing the movement, Ye Yue turned her head from where she sat on the bed. "Brother?"

She resembled Ye Heng somewhat, but her temperament was gentle and quiet, completely unlike his.

After half a year of torment from illness, her complexion was slightly pale, but it still could not conceal her beauty.

Ye Heng gave a quiet "Mm." Ye Yue paused, then asked, "Did you bring someone with you today, Brother?"

"Hello." Tang Mingxi quickly spoke in a very polite, gentle tone. "I'm Tang Mingxi."

Ye Yue's expression immediately came alive. Her sightless eyes curved into little bridges, and she looked somewhat excited as she shyly said, "Hello, sister-in-law."

Fine.

Sister-in-law it was.

Endure it.

Tang Mingxi forced out a flawless smile and asked with utmost gentleness and concern, "Are you feeling better?"

Ye Yue seemed to like him very much. Following his voice, she turned her face toward him. "I'm very well. Sister-in-law, you don't need to worry. I've never thanked you all this time. If you hadn't agreed to give me money for treatment, I might have died long ago. Brother said before that you were very busy and didn't have time to visit me. Will coming to see me today delay your work, sister-in-law?"

Tang Mingxi froze and looked at Ye Heng.

Ye Heng's expression remained bland as he flipped through Ye Yue's medical records.

The male lead had actually not told his sister about the unfair treatment he had suffered in the Tang Family?

That made sense. People only shared good news, never bad, when away from home. Even now, Ye Yue might think the Tang Family was the siblings' savior.

Tang Mingxi felt a tiny bit guilty and ashamed.

"It won't." Tang Mingxi sat beside the bed and tried his best to agree. "How could coming to see you delay my work?"

I don't work at all. I'm just an ordinary, rich salted fish :)

Tang Mingxi left the time to the siblings to chat. After casually saying a few perfunctory words as a considerate sister-in-law, he ran off to sit to one side.

He glanced at the fruit baskets, volunteered to find a small knife in a drawer, washed an apple, and decided to properly show off his virtuous domestic qualities by peeling one for his sister-in-law.
