In the hospital room.
Tang Xi, looking as if she were about to suffocate, glanced at Ye Yuning and gritted her teeth. "Those two madn!"
Ye Yuning was quiet and did not speak.
She didn’t care in the slightest why Xiao Linye and Qin Jinchuan had co to blows, nor did she have any desire to get involved in their conflicts right now.
Tang Xi said, "Have so more soup, okay?"
"Xi Xi."
"Hmm?"
"I want to see Qin Jinchuan!"
Tang Xi was taken aback. See Qin Jinchuan? As far as Tang Xi was concerned, Ye Yuning shouldn’t see anyone right now; these n were all scoundrels. Each one worse than the next.
Tang Xi nodded. "Then finish your food first."
No matter what, now that Ye Yuning finally had a bit of an appetite, Tang Xi didn’t want anything to upset her.
n... they really are so selfish sotis. Had they really not stopped to think how their fighting right outside Ye Yuning’s hospital room would affect her? And what kind of person had all the gossip in Upper City painted Ye Yuning as?
The more she thought about it, the angrier Tang Xi beca.
Thanks to Tang Xi’s insistence, Ye Yuning eventually finished her al.
When Qin Jinchuan heard that Ye Yuning wanted to see him, he was initially startled, but then a flicker of understanding crossed his face.
He stood up, casting a deep, aningful look at Xiao Linye.
Upon hearing that Ye Yuning wanted to see Qin Jinchuan, Xiao Linye’s expression beca exceedingly grim.
Qin Jinchuan entered the hospital room; Tang Xi remained standing at the door, not going inside.
In the hospital room.
Qin Jinchuan glanced at the thermos on the bedside table; the food inside was gone.
He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. He’d known she cared about the child in her womb, but he hadn’t realized just how important that child was to her.
Ye Yuning spoke, "Qin Jinchuan."
"Yes?" he replied. "What is it?"
"You should leave!" Ye Yuning said directly.
Qin Jinchuan’s brow tightened as he looked at Ye Yuning. "What did you say?"
"I said, leave."
"What do you an? Do you want to be with him?" We just ca to blows with Xiao Linye, and now she’s telling to leave?
For Qin Jinchuan, who had little understanding of romantic relationships, Ye Yuning’s words sounded like she was making a choice between them.
Hearing Qin Jinchuan’s question, Ye Yuning felt a wave of helplessness and closed her eyes.
Seeing her silence, Qin Jinchuan took a deep breath. "So, you’re willing to go back to Upper City with him, right?"
A heavy silence filled the air after he spoke.
But Ye Yuning suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze fixed on Qin Jinchuan with suppressed emotion. "What did you say?"
"He wants to take you back to Upper City. Are you willing?"
Ye Yuning was speechless. Go back to Upper City? Xiao Linye wants to take ** back to Upper City?
Her mind suddenly went blank with a loud BUZZ, a chaotic ss with no clear thought.
At this point, Qin Jinchuan’s mind was also in turmoil.
But no matter what, he couldn’t stand by and let Xiao Linye take Ye Yuning back to Upper City. The Xiao Family had nearly ensnared Ye Yuning so deeply she couldn’t break free. And now, there was also the Qi Family to contend with. For the Qi Family, the marriage alliance with the Xiao Family was a windfall, a succulent prize that had fallen right into their laps. If this marriage alliance couldn’t proceed because of Ye Yuning, the Qi Family would undoubtedly pin all the bla on her. Ostensibly, the Qi Family was wary of Xiao Linye and wouldn’t dare to openly move against Ye Yuning. But what they might do covertly... that was another matter entirely.
Ye Yuning closed her eyes again. "He told you he wants to take back to Upper City?"
Qin Jinchuan said, "Ye Yuning, don’t you forget, *I* was the one who dragged you out of Upper City. If you go back with him now, he might not be able to protect you! Right now, Old Master Xiao has secretly dispatched over fifty people to Turanxi, and so far my n have only managed to identify eight of them!"
Those operating in the shadows... what a terrifying force they represented!
"If you dare return to Upper City..." Qin Jinchuan didn’t finish his sentence, but the unspoken danger was chillingly clear.
Ye Yuning closed her eyes, her face etched with pain, and said nothing.
Qin Jinchuan continued, "Scandals and chaos are common among wealthy families, but it’s a different story when those things are dragged out into the open."
Obviously, the affair involving Ye Yuning, Xiao Shuo, and Xiao Linye was one such case. If it had remained hidden, it might not have been such a significant problem. But now that it had all co to light, many things were bound to change because of it.
Ye Yuning spoke, her voice strained, "I won’t go back to Upper City."
Never again. She would never go back. Even if she hadn’t co to Turanxi, after what had been done to her in Upper City, she had never entertained the thought of returning.
Qin Jinchuan frowned but didn’t speak.
But in the next mont, Ye Yuning continued, "There’s no possibility between you and !"
She stated it even more directly.
She hadn’t really wanted to get involved with Qin Jinchuan in the first place. But just now, Qin Jinchuan and Xiao Linye had actually co to blows right outside her door. Because of that, she could no longer feign ignorance.
Hearing this, Qin Jinchuan’s expression froze.
"So, you should leave," Ye Yuning said.
"Do you have any idea what it ans for to leave your side right now?"
"I know!"
She knew. Oh, she knew everything. The ones who wouldn’t let her off the hook this ti... it likely wasn’t just the Xiao Family, but the Qi Family as well...! But so what? She didn’t want to be indebted to anyone!
Qin Jinchuan said, "Xiao Linye isn’t thinking straight right now. You’d be better off not trying to force away."
That’s right, from Qin Jinchuan’s perspective, Xiao Linye was completely muddled right now. If Ye Yuning insisted on him leaving at a ti like this... he knew without even thinking what the consequences would be.
Ye Yuning said, "I don’t want to be involved with him, but I don’t want to be involved with you either."
"Is it because we fought outside the hospital room just now? If you don’t like it, I won’t fight anymore!"
