"What did you say?" Ye Ming looked at Xia Ningning in astonishnt, feeling sowhat puzzled.
He had not expected that Xia Ningning would have such an entitled expression while saying these words.
"What’s wrong? Isn’t that so?" Xia Ningning’s face turned slightly red, but she confidently stated, "We had an agreent before. You were to pretend to be my boyfriend for a month, but you ran off to the Yanjing Martial Departnt and beca the Chief Instructor, wasting my ti!"
"So that ans you still owe half a month’s ti."
"Now, of course, you should make that up to !"
Ye Ming had wanted to argue, but considering how much Xia Ningning had been dragged into this ss and how tired she had been these days, he decided not to quibble with her.
"No problem, since you put it that way, I have no objections. I’ll make up the remaining half-month to you!" Ye Ming said.
But at that mont, Xia Ningning suddenly shook her head and said, "It’s not that simple, you’re speaking too lightly!"
"All told, just now you only pretended to be my boyfriend for at most ten minutes, and now that we’ve returned to our normal relationship, the clock should stop!"
Xia Ningning, not willing to part, thought of this thod to delay her ti with Ye Ming.
She spoke off the cuff, but her words ca out as a very good idea.
She nodded firmly and said, "Yes, that’s right. You can subtract ten minutes from the half-month, but I’ll be generous and subtract twenty minutes instead!"
"Now there are fourteen days and twenty-three hours left, plus forty minutes!"
Ye Ming gradually furrowed his brows, as Xia Ningning’s deanor was full of calculative intent.
According to her calculations, Ye Ming would be tied to her for these fourteen days, at her beck and call, anyti she wished to activate their agreent. Wasn’t that just being unreasonable?
"Miss Xia, don’t you think you’re going a bit too far with these calculations? By your thod, I’d never be able to clear my debt in this lifeti!" Ye Ming said helplessly.
Xia Ningning smiled faintly and replied, "I don’t care about that! It’s what you promised anyway."
"Back in Ningjiang City, I could have calculated more ti because... because we slept in the sa room, and the ti pretending to be boyfriend constantly ticked away. But now we aren’t sleeping together, and it’s even hard to see each other!"
Seeing Ye Ming’s increasingly complex expression, Xia Ningning entertained a bold idea and tentatively asked, "If you really can’t stand it, we could sleep together now. Probably just for half a month, and that would be the end of it. Would you agree to that?"
With both options, Xia Ningning was prepared to get the calculations straight.
If Ye Ming really agreed, she felt she wouldn’t lose out. And if Ye Ming refused, then she could justifiably postpone the matter and ticulously calculate the ti between them.
Ye Ming imdiately felt overwheld. Regardless of his choice, none seed appropriate, yet upon pondering, the latter seed slightly better. He obviously couldn’t really sleep with Xia Ningning; otherwise, things would beco a ss.
"You’re smarter. I can’t outsmart you, so let’s do as you say!"
Ye Ming said resignedly.
Xia Ningning’s face showed no expression, but inside she was overjoyed, feeling she had Ye Ming wrapped around her finger.
After their conversation ended, Ye Ming finished checking Lin Bingqing’s injuries.
Lin Bingqing had no internal injuries, but her external wounds were severe. Plus, her nerves had been on edge for many days, and she needed ti to wake up from her relaxed state.
Ye Ming was not in a rush to heal her and said to Xia Ningning, "Please look after her for a bit. I need to find so things!"
He turned and walked into the ruins, judging the rough layout of the room from mory, and began rummaging through the debris.
Many of his Magic Artifacts were still in the villa. When it collapsed, his treasures were buried under the rubble. After a while, he finally located the Spiritual Pearl and those jade pendants.
Unfortunately, his Lakeside Villa had beco ruins and was irreparable for dwelling.
For a mont, Ye Ming found himself back in a situation of displacent.
He racked his brain, undecided where to stay.
Xia Ningning saw his trouble and proactively offered, "Since your house is destroyed, why not stay at my place?"
After she finished speaking, Xia Ningning’s face flushed red, and she hastily explained, "Don’t get wrong, I have no designs on you. Moreover, once you live at my place, we won’t be sleeping together, so it can’t count as part of the pretend boyfriend ti!"
"I’m just taking pity on you, out of the goodness of my heart to shelter you!"
"By the way, you could also bring Le Le over for so good rest and recuperation!"
Ye Ming gave it so thought and felt it was a good idea.
Xia Ningning’s house was spacious, and with the Xia Family’s bodyguards for security, it could save him a lot of trouble.
So, Ye Ming nodded in agreent.
Xia Ningning made a phone call and soon had a car sent over.
After they had transported Lin Bingqing back, the two went to the hospital.
Xu Lele had a restful sleep and just as she woke up, she saw her good friend and Ye Ming appear in her sight. She imdiately smiled and eagerly called out, "Ningning, Ye Ming, you’ve co!"
Xu Lele was already out of danger and, upon seeing her friends, she stood up and embraced Xia Ningning.
Xia Ningning’s eyes beca slightly moist. She didn’t have many close girlfriends, and Xu Lele was the best among them. Seeing that Xu Lele was alright, she felt genuinely happy.
"Le Le, I’m so glad you’re okay. I’ve missed you so much!"
Xia Ningning said excitedly.
After a brief chat, Xia Ningning explained her intention to Xu Zhendong, "Uncle Xu, let Le Le stay at my place for the next few days!"
"Le Le hasn’t fully recovered yet and needs more rest. My place is safer and quieter!"
Xu Zhendong and his wife exchanged glances. They initially wanted to refuse, but seeing Xu Lele’s hopeful expression, they acquiesced.
Before leaving, Xu Zhendong issued a stern warning to Ye Ming.
"Ye Ming, let’s leave the past in the past. But from now on, if Le Le gets even a scratch, don’t bla for not being polite!"
Reprimanded by Xu, Ye Ming felt no anger, only a deep sense of guilt.
He nodded earnestly and said, "Uncle Xu, rest assured. I will make sure that Le Le does not get hurt again!"
