My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 1510: Chapter 1511: Ask Him for a Favor

He also understood that the promise he made to turn himself in at the police station after Ye Qi recovered was, in reality, unfair to Rong Yan. So, whenever he faced Rong Yan, besides guilt, he also felt a deep sense of shame.

A shame for his own actions.

Yet he couldn’t bring himself to stand up like a man and confess his stupid mistakes to everyone, let alone immediately go to the police station to take responsibility for his actions!

Rong Yan responded with a faint "Hmm," put down the towel, tied her still-damp hair with a string, and said, "I want to ask you for a favor."

Chen Hai abruptly raised his head, his expression startled, teetering between surprise, disbelief, and a trace of light he hadn’t even realized existed.

He clenched his fists tightly and said in a muffled voice, "What does Miss Rong need my help with? As long as it’s something I can do, I’d go through fire and water if you just say the word."

If he could do something to help Rong Yan, at least it would make the unbearable weight in his heart easier to bear.

He genuinely wanted to make amends for the mistakes he’d made.

Rong Yan’s black-and-white eyes were bright yet serene. She looked at him as if she had seen straight into the depths of his thoughts. "Relax, I won’t ask you to do anything like killing or arson."

The mention of "killing or arson" made Chen Hai’s body stiffen. His expression grew even more remorseful as he slowly lowered his head. "I’m sorry."

Rong Yan paused for a moment, then said nothing more. She carefully explained what she wanted him to do, piece by piece. After finishing, she asked him, "Make sure the other person doesn’t notice anything unusual about you. Can you do it?"

Chen Hai listened intently to every word she said, memorizing her instructions deeply in his heart and repeating them to himself twice, afraid he might forget. He wished he had a pen to write them down. After silently repeating them twice more, he nodded. His sun-darkened face wasn’t handsome, but his features were upright and sincere. "I can do it! I’ll go make the call right away."

Rong Yan calculated the timing and asked him, "Does that person know your family lives in Big Sea Village?"

Chen Hai shook his head and responded uncertainly, "I don’t think so. I never told him where I live. But the hospital has Qiqi’s medical records, and Qiqi listed her workplace there. If he investigates at the factory, he might be able to trace it here."

Rong Yan propped her chin up, thought for a moment, and then lifted her head. Her gaze was bright and resolute, inexplicably convincing. "As long as you can lure him out, I promise to protect Mrs. Qi and the others. Otherwise, the bad guys will target them. Do you trust me?"

Chen Hai froze, instinctively meeting her gaze. Something seemed to cross his mind, and he suddenly chuckled, his expression carefree. "What is Miss Rong talking about? Without you, even if Qiqi could get a kidney and survive, the chances would still be slim. Auntie and Grandma wouldn’t survive, either. And I’m nothing but a murderer hated by everyone. Without you, there would be no us. So, how could I not trust you?"

"Don’t worry. I’ll follow exactly what you just told me to do. I won’t disappoint you again."

He took the phone from Rong Yan and said to her, "The chicken soup is ready. Mrs. Qi sent me over to call you to come eat. There’s nothing fancy at home, so Miss Rong will have to make do. This hen was raised on grain. She’s been free-ranging in the yard for over a year. The mushrooms were freshly picked from the mountain, all authentic local produce. It might not be as expensive as the things from Capital City, but they’re all good quality."

Rong Yan seemed to understand from the look on his face, as if he was worried she might later express disdain in front of Ye Qi and Mrs. Qi. She said calmly, "I know. I quite like chicken soup."

Chen Hai inexplicably felt that she understood, and then, in his awkward way, he expressed gratitude. "Thank you."
