"Miaoyan."

Just as the two of them were silent, Yang Ruoxi suddenly pushed open the door to the hospital room and walked in.

"Hmm? What's up, Ruoxi?" Jiang Miaoyan quickly looked toward the door and asked Yang Ruoxi what was going on.

Chen Yang did the same, looking toward the door.

Yang Ruoxi was beaming with joy: "It's nothing, Miaoyan, I just came to see how you're doing. Is everything sorted out?"

"Yeah, Boss Chen just finished bandaging me up, I'm fine now." Jiang Miaoyan replied with a smile.

"That's great, come and play with us." Seeing that everything was taken care of, Yang Ruoxi immediately walked in from the door, smiling as she took Jiang Miaoyan's hand and enthusiastically invited her to join them.

"Ah? Is this appropriate? Lingling is still at home." Jiang Miaoyan sounded a bit flattered, not expecting Yang Ruoxi and Li Han to invite her to stay.

However, Yang Ruoxi's face was full of sincerity.

"Don't worry, Miaoyan, I'll ask Xueying to take care of Lingling. You can rest easy, and there's a typhoon raging outside; it's too risky to head back now." Yang Ruoxi said with a smile.

Upon hearing about the typhoon, Jiang Miaoyan realized heading back was indeed inconvenient, so she agreed.

"Alright then, I guess Lingling will have to rely on Xueying now." Jiang Miaoyan said.

"Mm-hmm, let's go."

Seeing Jiang Miaoyan agree, Yang Ruoxi immediately pulled her with a smile out of the hospital room and they headed to the inner room to have some fun.

The inner room was flickering with lights and filled with mesmerizing music at the time.

Li Han, Wu Kexin, and the others were drinking and having fun.

Once Yang Ruoxi brought Jiang Miaoyan into the mix, the atmosphere became even more lively.

Of course, Chen Yang joined in on the fun too, playing cards, checkers, drinking—making sure the typhoon-laden night was anything but dull.

The antics of that night not only strengthened Chen Yang and Jiang Miaoyan's bond.

But also genuinely integrated Jiang Miaoyan with Yang Ruoxi and her group, allowing them to become good friends.

This enthusiastic revelry continued on till about one or two in the morning.

Having played for so long, naturally, everyone was exhausted, and they had drunk quite a bit of alcohol. Everyone was sprawled all over, ready to sleep.

Except for Chen Yang, who was still sober and hadn't gotten drunk.

Looking at the sprawled bodies of Yang Ruoxi and the others, he was quite helpless.

"Ruoxi, head to bed. Lying here is an easy way to catch a cold," Chen Yang said with a smile as he leaned close to Yang Ruoxi.

Yang Ruoxi was dozing on a chair and opened her eyes when she heard Chen Yang's voice. In a tipsy, coquettish manner, she extended her arms and said, "Carry me to bed..."

This girl, Yang Ruoxi, only behaved like this when no one was around or when she was drunk. Otherwise, she'd always be bickering with Chen Yang.

"You little...," Chen Yang said helplessly, shaking his head. He then decisively picked her up like a princess and laid her on the bed.

Having placed her on the bed, Chen Yang was just about to pull away and call Li Han and the others over to the bed.

But Yang Ruoxi was clutching onto Chen Yang's neck tightly and wouldn't let go.

Chen Yang gave her a slight peck on her cheek before she finally let go and drifted off to sleep.

This action left Chen Yang feeling both amused and helpless.

Having settled Yang Ruoxi, Chen Yang then helped Wu Kexin and Li Han over to the bed as well.

Li Han and Wu Kexin were at least somewhat sober, needing only a little assistance from Chen Yang to get them into bed.

Dai Annie was just like Yang Ruoxi.

She had partied hard, drank lots, and was completely dizzy and disoriented.

Chen Yang's bed was sizable but, after accommodating the four women, there really was no space left.

Thus, Jiang Miaoyan naturally couldn't join them on the bed.

After thinking carefully, Chen Yang decided to let Jiang Miaoyan sleep in another room.

Fortunately, the bed in the utility room hadn't been stripped; it was perfect for Jiang Miaoyan.

Although Jiang Miaoyan hadn't drunk much today, she seemed to have a low alcohol tolerance and was quite out of it.

Carrying her in a princess hold, Chen Yang took her to the room.

"Miaoyan, you can sleep here tonight."

He laid Jiang Miaoyan on the bed and mumbled to himself.

Then, he covered her with a quilt and turned to leave.

But just as he turned, he was embraced from behind.

A pair of delicate hands wrapped tightly around him, and a fragrant breath wafted over from behind, encircling his neck.

Chen Yang had also drunk a fair amount of alcohol, and naturally, thoughts crossed his mind.

But since his relationship with Jiang Miaoyan hadn't reached that stage, he managed to suppress his feelings.

Yet, with Jiang Miaoyan being proactive now, what more could he say?

"Boss Chen..."

Jiang Miaoyan's soft voice reached his ears.

Chen Yang slowly turned around and met Jiang Miaoyan's gaze.

At this moment, Jiang Miaoyan's face was deeply flushed, and her eyes bashfully avoided Chen Yang's gaze.

In the dim light of the night, Jiang Miaoyan's appearance was extremely alluring.

The two of them gazed at each other intensely for an unknown amount of time, and then everything unfolded naturally.

...

The next morning, as Yang Ruoxi and the other three women stirred awake and came out of the room, they saw Chen Yang tidying up the previous night's mess.

"Chen Yang, why are you up so early? Where's Miaoyan?" Yang Ruoxi said, rubbing her tired head.

Chen Yang had just finished cleaning up the leftover trash from last night.

He looked up at Yang Ruoxi and replied with a smile, "She got up early and went back to take care of Lingling."

"Oh, alright," Yang Ruoxi said, not overthinking it, and went back to the room to freshen up.

Having tidied up the room, Chen Yang didn't stop there; he headed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

By the time the four women came out, breakfast was ready.

So they sat down together to eat.

After breakfast, they headed out to stroll through the village.

After the previous day's typhoon, Liuhe Village seemed to have undergone a cleansing.

The houses and roads were spotlessly clean.

The air was incredibly fresh too.

Luckily, since Chen Yang noticed the approaching typhoon early, each household in the village took precautions, resulting in almost no losses within the village.

Only a few weaker trees were snapped.

After circling the village and seeing no significant losses, Wu Kexin and Li Han said to Chen Yang, "Well, we'll head to the office now, Chen Yang. We've got to get back to work today; we can't delay the project's timeline any longer."

"Alright, you guys go ahead. If you need any help, just let me know." Chen Yang nodded and agreed with a smile.

Then, Li Han and Wu Kexin left.

Yang Ruoxi and Dai Annie lingered around.

"Why aren't you two heading to the office?" Chen Yang asked Yang Ruoxi with a chuckle.

Naturally, Yang Ruoxi didn't see eye to eye with Chen Yang, and upon hearing this, she raised her chin proudly.

"Why should I? The office is so boring; Annie and I prefer to roam around the village." Yang Ruoxi replied.

Chen Yang laughed upon hearing this and said, "Well, how about I give you something to do?"

"Something to do? What is it?" At the mention of having something to do, Yang Ruoxi was immediately interested.

"Can you help me pick up Jingman from the bus station? She'll be coming over to check out the construction site, and you guys can keep her company." Chen Yang suggested.

Early this morning, after the typhoon had settled down, Chen Yang received a message from Wang Jingman saying she wanted to visit.

The plan was for Chen Yang to pick her up, but given that Yang Ruoxi and the others were idle, he figured he'd have them handle it.

Feeling bored, Yang Ruoxi and Dai Annie were more than willing to help, and they immediately agreed.

"Sure, leave it to Annie and me."

"Alright, I'll leave it up to you then."

Seeing Yang Ruoxi readily agree, Chen Yang decided to head back to rest.
