"Yemo! Zuyue is still your sister, we all grew up together. I promise I’ll go back and teach her a lesson!" Liang Qianli assured confidently.
Ji Yemo glanced at him, "In that case, there’s nothing more to say between us! When a mistake is made, the first thing to do is apologize, not protect. You’re not the one injured, so of course you wouldn’t understand."
Liang Qianli gritted his teeth but didn’t know what to say.
On the bed, Ruan Xixia murmured softly and slowly woke up.
Ji Yemo helped her up and thoughtfully put a pillow behind her for support.
"Cough cough... water..."
Ji Yemo handed over the warm water from the bedside table, with a straw that he had previously instructed Mrs. Liu to put in to prevent Ruan Xixia from choking.
Watching him take care of Ruan Xixia so skillfully, as if he had done it a thousand tis, Liang Qianli’s eyes were full of jealousy.
Suppressing his envy, he asked, "What do you want to not hold Zuyue accountable?"
Ji Yemo raised an eyebrow, "She deserves it. She’s grown enough to know better and it’s ti for her to pay the price for her stupidity and recklessness!"
"You... Yemo, if you insist on this, we can’t be brothers anymore!"
"Then we won’t be!"
Ji Yemo’s voice was resolute and unquestionable.
Liang Qianli gave Ruan Xixia a aningful look before storming off in anger.
Ruan Xixia weakly asked, "What happened? What antics is Liang Zuyue up to?"
"Nothing much, just being careless. I’ll teach her a lesson," Ji Yemo gently stroked her hair. "Get so more sleep, call if you feel uncomfortable, I’m here by your side."
A warmth filled Ruan Xixia’s heart, but she awkwardly said out loud, "Aren’t you busy? Don’t you have work to do?"
"The company won’t collapse if I miss a day," Ji Yemo gave a self-deprecating smile, "Money can’t buy everything. I used to be too obsessed with work, but from now on, it won’t be my number one priority."
Ruan Xixia continued, "Then what will you prioritize?"
Ji Yemo just gazed steadily at her, his eyes as deep as the vast universe, as boundless as the night.
Ruan Xixia felt her heart... inexplicably skip a beat.
"I... I’m going to sleep now..." She lay down, turned to the other side, and closed her eyes.
She wasn’t young anymore, so why was her heart racing like a young girl’s because of a single sentence from him?
Was his gaze implying that what he prioritized was her?
Sweet yet bittersweet, Ruan Xixia pondered.
Ji Yemo tucked her in carefully, went out to make a call, arranged everything, and then put away his phone.
"Back then, I owed you... Now, I’ll repay it all to you. Xixia... even if in the end you don’t choose , I’ll still be good to you as best as I can," he muttered to himself, "Love debts... are indeed the hardest to repay."
...
The ssage on Weibo was quickly dealt with by the authorities as false, but in contrast, Liang Zuyue’s outrageous college stories were exposed...
Stealing her friend’s boyfriend, closely associating with multiple n, even having an abortion...
When Liang Qianli got ho and saw these ssages, his vision went dark, and he almost passed out!
"You’re really going to drive mad!" he scolded Liang Zuyue furiously, his anger blazing.
