Chapter 1329: Chapter 1329: Caregiver Li

Zhang Ya’Er woke up on the second day after the surgery. She stared at the white ceiling, lost in thought for a moment, and then realized she had survived a disaster!

The stab on her back really hurt!

Zhang Ya’Er shifted on the bed, trying to sit up and drink some water, but the wound on her back made her break out in a sweat from the pain.

Soon, a female caregiver noticed Zhang Ya’Er had woken up and called Li over.

"Where’s Lin Tian?" Zhang Ya’Er asked.

"He had something to attend to and left beforehand, asked me to take care of you. He said he’d visit you soon." Li replied, not revealing to this excessively beautiful woman that he was actually her boss.

"Thank you."

It was the first time Zhang Ya’Er smiled at Li, and though beautiful, it was heart-wrenching.

These past few days, Li had interacted more with Zhang Ya’Er, chatting occasionally during her boredom.

Li found that this was a cautious and very smart woman; though due to her injuries, her complexion didn’t look well.

Zhang Ya’Er discovered Li was a man of few words, almost never said anything unnecessary, dull like a piece of wood. But he treated her well, a very attentive and warm caregiver.

Still, Zhang Ya’Er wanted to see Lin Tian—thought about him when eating, when bored, ten minutes before bedtime, and when waking up.

There might be love, but more of it was... sheer boredom!

So when they met, Zhang Ya’Er blurted out such a nickname.

Pigeon King, stood her up for several days!

Really too boring!

...

Upon hearing the new nickname Zhang Ya’Er gave him, Lin Tian chuckled, casually replied, "Really sorry, just too busy."

"Hmph, clearly you forgot about me."

Lin Tian didn’t respond, continuing this topic would surely put him at a disadvantage. He simply changed the subject, "Your back hasn’t fully healed yet, why start practicing yoga?"

While talking, Lin Tian and Wu Yong had already sat down on the sofa in the ward.

Zhang Ya’Er picked up a clean towel beside her, unabashedly wiping her sweat in front of them, looking alluring and sexy.

Wu Yong immediately diverted his gaze; a friend’s wife is not to be messed with!

After finishing wiping her sweat, Zhang Ya’Er sat on the sofa next to Lin Tian, picked up a cup of freshly squeezed juice and drank the entire glass in big gulps, her throat moving, her chest heaving, undeniably captivating.

Zhang Ya’Er wasn’t trying to seduce men; it was her natural state. A beautiful, well-proportioned woman’s every action seemed enticing; no wonder there’s a saying ’Beauty is a disaster’.

Zhang Ya’Er leaned on the sofa, flipped her hair, softly spoke, "No idea what medicine the doctor used, my back healed quickly, stitches were removed last night, and the doctor said there would be no scar. Just very itchy; doing some minor exercises can provide slight relief."

After finishing, Zhang Ya’Er even said to Lin Tian, "Thank you."

"It’s only proper, I’m partly responsible for your injury." Lin Tian remarked.

"Indeed you are, if you hadn’t gone to the card venue to challenge, caused DS to lose her fingers, then brought me here, giving them an opportunity." Zhang Ya’Er earnestly stated.

"..."

Lin Tian was speechless, just being polite, why so serious? Is it still my fault in the end?

Seeing Lin Tian’s puzzled expression, Zhang Ya’Er suddenly thought this man was quite adorable. She giggled and teased, "Just kidding."

Lin Tian rolled his eyes, asked, "Who told you the perpetrator was DS?"

"I saw his figure that day and smelled his scent, could confirm it was him. Later, verified through that caregiver Li’s mouth."

Li, the caregiver?

Lin Tian exchanged a glance with Wu Yong, both of their lips twitched, almost failed to hold back laughter. Her reaction would be priceless once she found out the truth.

Wu Yong still wanted to defend Li a bit, but was stopped by Lin Tian’s glance. Words he intended to say were swallowed back.

"How do you find that caregiver?" Lin Tian crossed his legs, suddenly mischievously asked, genuinely curious how others would rate that reserved yet indifferent guy.

"I think he’s nice, just haven’t seen him these past two days, no idea where he went."

Wu Yong mischievously smiled, a hint of amusement in his eyes. Quickly became formal again, saying seriously, "This caregiver hasn’t come these days? That’s really irresponsible, Tian, should we fire him? Or dock some wages?"

Lin Tian understood Wu Yong’s implication right away. He nodded a couple of times, "Indeed irresponsible, such people are parasites in the company, let’s dock some wages and directly fire him."

Lin Tian clapped his hands, "Okay, let’s do that."

Zhang Ya’Er was stunned, these two... couldn’t find a proper adjective!

"No way!" Zhang Ya’Er immediately protested.

"Why not? You got injured at our company’s entrance, should be cared for diligently without any mishaps." Wu Yong seriously stated, though he felt this reasoning somewhat pretentious as well.

Zhang Ya’Er argued, "He’s very attentive and responsible. Not showing up these days must be due to something important; he might’ve applied for leave too? How can you decide based on mere words? How would you manage a company like this?"

Zhang Ya’Er wasn’t angry, as she had no right to be, she just felt their conduct wasn’t right. Too capricious!

Lin Tian thought Zhang Ya’Er made a good point; Li indeed had something important—dating a girl!

However, one point was certain—that guy definitely hadn’t applied for leave.

Lin Tian chuckled and said, "Okay, let’s spare him for now. Except for today and yesterday, was he here every day?"

Zhang Ya’Er replied, "Yes, every morning very early, seemed quite disciplined. By the way, he did come yesterday morning, left in the afternoon and haven’t seen him since."

Lin Tian turned to Wu Yong again, "Where’s he staying at night?"

Wu Yong said, "The company, almost half a year, rarely absent. Perhaps legitimately busy."

Lin Tian suddenly had a bad premonition, that guy Li might have really charmed Xu Qinghuan?

Wu Yong noticed Lin Tian’s unease, asked, "Want to call and ask?"

Lin Tian gently shook his head, "Forget it."

Zhang Ya’Er was even more confused, she couldn’t understand their conversation anymore. Were they talking about that caregiver? But shouldn’t a caregiver be enough to concern two bosses so much?
