Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 58 "Cousin" Comes

"Jiayi, I thought you had forgotten about me... I didn’t expect you to come to see me," Jiang Pinhao said, unable to hold back when Tang En’en left.

Jiayi looked at his joyful expression and felt a rush of guilt, managing a strained smile to avoid upsetting him, she said, "Actually, I’ve wanted to visit you sooner, but I’ve been tied up with some things these past few days, and haven’t had the chance. Take good care of your injuries and don’t overthink things."

Joy deepened in Jiang Pinhao’s cool eyes.

So, the girl before him still cared about him.

He wasn’t a frivolous man, always chaste and honorable, never before had he taken an interest in a girl upon first meeting.

Before heading to Qiangui that day, Tang En’en had mentioned she would bring a girl over, beautiful and sweet-looking, with a nice personality, so the two could get acquainted.

Jiang Pinhao’s parents were renowned professors and lawyers in the country and had moved abroad a few years ago, settling overseas, leaving him to make his way alone at home after graduating from a university abroad, and he had returned home.

Old classmates and friends, seeing him alone, would occasionally introduce him to girlfriends, which he had gotten used to.

That day, Jiang Pinhao also thought it would be a meeting that wouldn’t happen again.

But when he saw Jiayi for the first time, he felt his heart stir unexpectedly.

In terms of appearance, surely there were women he had known who were more stunning and charming.

Yet for some reason, Jiang Pinhao couldn’t take his eyes off her.

Perhaps, it began when Jiayi was sprayed with colored streamers and beer yet remained good-tempered.

Or maybe, it was seeing the pure and tranquil Jiayi turn into a spirited dancer on the dance floor.

Or even more, it could have been the feeling of holding her while they danced the waltz.

Anyway, as soon as Jiayi left, he impatiently got her phone number and WeChat ID from En’en.

Now, Jiayi had taken the initiative to come.

As a man, what else was there to wait for?

Jiang Pinhao gazed at the girl beside him, "Jiayi, last time I asked if you had a boyfriend, you said no, right?"

Jiayi’s heart raced, and even someone as naive as her could guess the man’s intentions; her face turned red in an instant.

The girl’s cheeks flushed like ripe apples, tender and inviting, making one want to cherish her with a tender kiss.

Jiang Pinhao, after all, had spent time overseas. Although he was gentlemanly and polite, his approach was outgoing in a Western way.

Leaning forward slowly, his eyes curved like crescent moons, his fair face suddenly flushed red, "Jiayi, if you don’t have a boyfriend, would you consider starting to think about me from now on?"

Jiayi felt the man’s breath closing in, and instinctively stood up, "You—you rest well, don’t get agitated, be careful not to reopen your wound..."

"Yeah, rest well, be careful not to get hurt again."

Suddenly, a gloomy and displeased male voice came from outside the door.

"Be careful not to get hurt again" was not a comfort, but a thick threat.

The half-closed door was pushed open with a smack, ricocheting off the doorframe with a clang that startled the two people in the ward.

Jiayi looked over, her soul almost scared out of her.

It was Huo Zhenyang!

How had this persistent ghost reappeared? 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

And he had followed her to Cixin Hospital’s ward!

Huo Zhenyang strode in, his deep eyes sweeping the room, seeing the fright and doubt on her face and guessing her thoughts.

Heh, if he hadn’t shown up in time, based on this woman’s soft heart, perhaps this pretty boy might have succeeded in courting!

In the hospital bed, Jiang Pinhao was also quite surprised by the man’s sudden visit and only recognized him after taking a clear look. It was the man who had brought Jiayi away from Qiangui the other day, Jiayi’s cousin.

"Jiayi’s cousin?" he sat up.

Huo Zhenyang’s lips curled into a line of cold sneer, thinking that the pretty boy was just short of directly asking "why are you here," simply walking over and subtly positioning his body to separate Jiayi and him, raising an eyebrow "It seems the lighting in Qiangui that day wasn’t too bad."

Jiayi felt her heart about to leap out of her chest, fearing Huo Zhenyang might lose his temper and give Jiang Pinhao another beating, and hurried over "Cousin, you’re here. I’m almost done here, let’s go."

Right now, Jiang Pinhao was still unable to fully recover, lying in the bed; he definitely wouldn’t stand a chance against this man!

This man had clearly come with ill intentions.

Last time he came to Qiangui and took his cousin away. And now he’s here again, he’s really keeping a close eye on her.

Let alone a cousin, even a father wouldn’t be this controlling with his daughter.

Jiang Pinhao frowned; his expression was turning quite unpleasant, but considering Jiayi, he managed to keep his tone somewhat amiable "Jiayi, why leave so quickly? Since your cousin is here, let him sit for a while."

Jiayi?

Was that name called out by him?

Seeing him call her Jiayi on WeChat, Huo Zhenyang could still bear it.

Now, hearing him say "Jiayi" out loud, Huo Zhenyang’s face was instantly shrouded by dark clouds, not a hint of light in sight.

Suddenly, Jiayi felt the air pressure around her plummet and wished that lightning would come down from the sky and strike her unconscious.

"No need, it’s getting late, let’s go home," Huo Zhenyang glanced at Jiayi and finally spat out coldly, his tone full of authority and leaving no room for negotiation.

Huo Zhenyang didn’t confront their relationship openly nor did he lose his temper; Jiayi was very relieved and nodded quickly "Okay, let’s go back," then turned to Jiang Pinhao "I’ll be leaving now, you rest well."

Jiang Pinhao had never seen a cousin so overbearing, his face turning sour instantly; clearly, Jiayi was being forcibly dragged away by her cousin, both this time and the last!

"Jiayi is an adult now. Even parents shouldn’t be imposing such constraints. I think you should know where to draw the line," Jiang Pinhao disregarded his still-bandaged head, his gaze darkened as he stood up abruptly.

Jiayi’s heart skipped a beat. This was bad!

Huo Zhenyang paused in his steps; his gorgeous features twitched ever so slightly, his emotion indiscernible, his brows furrowed slightly, but a deadly cold smile formed at his lips "Know where to draw the line? Are you saying that to me?"

That phrase, should have been his to say to this pretty boy.

This pretty boy should know where to draw the line with his woman, to discard any thoughts!

Though Jiang Pinhao was young, he had encountered many top-notch figures in various industries, but—the aura of the man before him was clearly beyond any elite he had encountered before.

His subconscious registered that Jiayi’s cousin was no ordinary person.

Could it be... Jiayi was Tang En’en’s colleague, merely a small company employee; how could she have such an extraordinary cousin?

Just as the tension was reaching a breaking point, the door creaked open.

Tang En’en came in with the peeled fruit, surprised at the scene "You guys..."

Upon seeing the man who had just arrived more clearly, her face lit up with joy "Oh, is that Jiayi’s cousin?"

Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief; En’en’s interruption warmed the atmosphere.

"Yes, my cousin came to pick me up because he’s worried about me walking home alone at night. It’s getting late, so we’re going to head back," Jiayi said to Tang En’en.

Tang En’en had just seen this handsome man again and really didn’t want him to leave, but there was nothing she could do except wave goodbye reluctantly.

Jiayi avoided Jiang Pinhao’s gaze and followed Huo Zhenyang out of the ward, like a little rabbit trailing behind a big bad wolf, dejectedly leaving the room.

As soon as they left Cixin Hospital and got in the car, Jiayi had not yet settled in when a wave of intense heat from the driver’s seat enveloped her.
