Capítulo 509: Chapter 509: Let Let You Go
Ella lay on his chest, her gaze lowered as she looked at him.
But she rembered what Su He had told her, that his wound was on his chest, so when she fell earlier, she had supported herself with her hand beside him, avoiding pressing against him.
“Your wound…”
However, Ye Jiuqing interrupted her directly, “Answer , what else did Lei ngde do to you?”
At this mont, Ella also realized.
She squinted her eyes slightly, staring at him and asked, “You were awake all along?”
Ye Jiuqing feigned a few coughs and said, “I was awakened by your anger.”
Listening to his words, Ella’s red lips curled slightly, and she said aningfully, “Oh, so you’re jealous?”
“Lei ngde indeed wants to pursue , and he even invited to a candlelight dinner the night before last.” She spoke honestly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jiuqing’s pale face imdiately darkened with a fierce aura.
His bright blue eyes seed like they could pierce through soone.
If Lei ngde were standing in front of him now, he would probably have been cut into pieces.
Seeing the fiery look in his eyes, Ella slowly said, “But I left without eating.”
As soon as she finished her sentence, the man’s expression improved a little.
“Rest assured, even if I were to change husband, I wouldn’t choose soone with the surna Lei.”
Ye Jiuqing’s expression had just softened a bit, but upon hearing this, he instantly felt a pang in his heart.
“Didn’t you just say you weren’t getting a divorce?” He frowned, staring at her as he asked.
Ella avoided his gaze, her eyes darting around, she deliberately said, “Did I? I don’t rember saying that just now.”
Ye Jiuqing: “…”
“Are you trying to play tricks? And didn’t you just say you had a lot to tell ? What else do you have to say, hmm?”
He pressed her slender waist with another hand, bringing their bodies tightly together.
“Speak, I’m listening now.” He said.
Ella: “I don’t feel like talking right now.”
Who told him to pretend to be asleep and deceive her just now.
Ye Jiuqing looked at her, not in a rush, “Alright, if you don’t want to talk, then let’s do sothing else for now, and talk when you feel like it.”
Ella asked puzzled, “Do what… mm…”
Her words were completely swallowed by his kiss.
Ah Gui originally intended to co in to say sothing, seeing the door wasn’t closed, he directly walked in.
But the scene inside scared him.
He hurriedly turned around and left the place of trouble.
On the way out, he closed the door behind him.
Helian Lu, when he left earlier, hadn’t closed the door, otherwise, he wouldn’t have stumbled upon such an awkward scene.
He is now praying that Young Master Jiuqing didn’t notice him.
Otherwise, his year-end bonus wouldn’t be enough to deduct.
It’s terrifying; how can he be so unlucky to bump into sothing like this again?
In the ward.
Ella felt soft in all her limbs under his dominant yet gentle kiss.
The man only let her go when he realized she couldn’t breathe anymore.
She lay on top of him, gasping for air.
He didn’t look like soone who was badly injured; it was embarrassing how worried she was before she ca.
She wanted to get up, but he held her waist, rendering her unable to move.
She dared not make large movents, worried she’d hit his wound; after all, she was still soft-hearted toward him.
Ye Jiuqing patted her head, then suddenly flipped her over, pinning her to the bed.
The two switched positions, he was on top, she was underneath.
His deep voice sounded in her ear, “Do you want to say it now?”
Ella: “…”
She seriously suspected that Susu was lying to her; did this scoundrel even get hurt at all?
Ye Jiuqing observed her eyes darting around and knew what she was thinking.
“I was really hurt, just a bit thick-skinned.”
Still worried she wouldn’t believe him, he unbuttoned his hospital gown, showing her the bandage on his chest.
“Look, I’m not lying to you, took a bullet here.”
He took her hand, placing it on his wound.
Ella was not one for lodrama.
“Got shot, do you think that’s sothing to be proud of?” she said.
Ye Jiuqing replied, “No, but at that mont, the person on my mind was you. At that instant, I feared death because dying would an never seeing you again.”
Ella was slightly stunned, her heart inexplicably began racing “thump thump thump.”
She really…
Always ended up flustered from just one of his sentences.
What Ye Jiuqing said was true. In the past, if he got hurt, he got hurt; he never worried about life or death, he didn’t care.
But now, he started fearing death.
Once soone has attachnts and concerns, they start to fear losing them.
Before, he couldn’t understand the kind of feeling Su He described, but this ti, he deeply felt it.
Ella looked at him, speechless for a long ti.
After a while, she finally spoke, “Ye Jiuqing, is this your way of confessing to ?”
Ye Jiuqing said, “Have I not made myself clear enough?”
Ella shook her head and said, “I worry I misunderstood and ended up happy for nothing.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the man’s lips descended again.
He intentionally bit her lower lip.
She cried out in pain.
“Ouch!”
“Why did you bite ?”
Furious, she punched him.
Then, he whimpered in pain, burying his head into the crook of her neck.
Ella panicked instantly.
“You… what’s wrong with you?”
She didn’t use much force just now, did she?
And she avoided his wound, how…
“Ye Jiuqing, don’t scare , I didn’t an to just now, I was just…”
Then, she heard him laughing in her ear.
She realized then that this man was ssing with her again!
Just as she was about to speak, he suddenly bit her earlobe and whispered in her ear, “Shuangshuang, let’s live well together from now on, okay? Without realizing it, you’ve already entered my heart. Letting you go is impossible unless I’m dead.”
His voice seed magical, irresistibly enticing.
Her entire body trembled slightly.
After a short while, Ella bit her lip, reversed her hold on him, and whispered in his ear too, “Ye Jiuqing, since you’ve decided to enter this ga with , don’t think of escaping. I’m magnanimous; I’ll give you another chance.”
She wasn’t soone who ruled out losses; in matters of romance, he shouldn’t have all the fun while she had none.
Ye Jiuqing chuckled lowly, “Alright.”
But the next second, his smile disappeared.
Because Ella said, “Oh, one more thing, I haven’t told you, my brother woke up.”
Ye Jiuqing was slightly taken aback.
He looked at her, raised an eyebrow slightly, and repeated, “Woke up?”
“Yes.” Ella tilted her head, “You seem like you didn’t want to hear that news.”
Ye Jiuqing: “…”
“Not really, it’s just that your brother…”
“My brother doesn’t want to be with you, so the days ahead won’t be easy for you, and I can’t help.” She said.
“Whether you can handle him, that’s up to you. The hardest to deal with in our family isn’t my parents or the old man, but my brother.”
Ella gave him a heads-up.
After all, this is all she can do.
She really can’t help him with anything else.
Ye Jiuqing’s face imdiately fell.
“Then we won’t go back,” he said.
Ella said, “That’s not going to work. I still have a lot of things to finish. Besides, where can you run off to? Once my brother recovers, he’ll find you sooner or later, and you’ll have to face him eventually.”
“…”
The man furrowed his brows, looking as if he had lost all hope.
Actually, if it were the old days, he wouldn’t be afraid of Helan Qiuzhe at all, but now his identity is different.
Helan Qiuzhe is now his brother-in-law, and he can’t approach him with the sa attitude as before.
This is indeed a bit of a challenge for him.
Ella patted his head, “Good luck.”
“…”
Ella originally planned for the old man to et her brother tonight, but since she wasn’t around, the eting was put on hold.
“Can you go back now?” Ella asked.
She still didn’t know if his matters had been resolved.
Ye Jiuqing sat on the hospital bed, drinking the water she had just poured for him, “Yes, everything here is settled.”
“Then let’s go back tomorrow, okay? I’ll arrange for you and my brother to share a hospital room to rest and get to know each other.”
Ye Jiuqing paused slightly in the middle of drinking.
Could he choose to refuse?
“I’m telling you, this is the best opportunity,” Ella said, “You both are in recovery, so my brother won’t be too harsh on you. Use this ti to get along well. My brother responds better to kindness than toughness. This is all I can do to help; the rest is up to you. If you don’t want to, unless you want to divorce .”
Ye Jiuqing couldn’t refuse, even if he wanted to.
Ella was still a bit worried about his condition, so she asked the doctor. Only when the doctor said he could be discharged did she truly feel relieved.
Then, she had Ah Gui make the arrangents.
The next morning.
Helian Lu ca early to see them off.
“Young Duke, thank you for taking care of him these past few days,” Ella said to him.
They indeed owed a lot to Helian Lu for this incident.
Helian Lu waved his hand and said, “No need to thank , sister-in-law. Just rember to settle the dical bills with later. This guy sure cost a lot over the past few days.”
“…”
Ye Jiuqing gave him a glare, “When did you beco obsessed with money?”
Helian Lu: “Who would complain about having too much money?”
Then he glanced at Ella and cheerfully said, “Besides, sister-in-law’s family isn’t short of money, right, sister-in-law?”
Just as Ye Jiuqing was about to speak, Ella pressed him back down, “Okay, don’t say anything.”
She looked at Helian Lu and said, “Don’t worry, the Young Duke won’t have spent money in vain. I’ll have soone transfer the money to you shortly.”
“Sister-in-law, you’re so straightforward,” Helian Lu said.
Ye Jiuqing couldn’t be bothered with him anymore.
He took Ella’s hand and said, “Let’s go, don’t mind him.”
Helian Lu clicked his tongue, “Ye, oh Ye, how can you be so ungrateful? Really, once you have a wife, you forget your friends. Don’t you rember who used to spend every day and night with you when you were single?”
Ye Jiuqing frowned slightly and glared at him, “Don’t talk nonsense like that. What do you an, ‘every day and night with you’? It sounds like we have so ambiguous relationship.”
“Are you saying that’s not true?” Helian Lu stepped forward, questioning.
Ye Jiuqing stepped back, pulling Ella along.
Seeing this, Helian Lu clicked his tongue a few tis, “What, are you starting to dislike now? Don’t forget who’s been taking care of you these past few days?”
He kept talking more outrageously.
“…”
Ye Jiuqing pulled Ella into the car, not even intending to respond.
Helian Lu didn’t hold it against him.
He just didn’t expect that Ye would have such a day, putting love before friendship, sothing unprecedented for him.
Even when he liked Su He, he wasn’t like this.
“You don’t need to see us off; go do what you need to do.”
Ye Jiuqing left a parting shot and closed the car window, giving a command: “Drive!”
He didn’t want to stay even a mont longer.
Then, the car drove off.
In the car.
When Ye Jiuqing turned around to look at Ella, he found her staring at him with a smile.
“What are you laughing at?” he asked, puzzled.
Then he thought of what Helian Lu had just said, “There’s nothing between and Helian Lu. Don’t overthink it. When I got to know him, he was already with Qing Wu.”
Ella raised her eyebrows with a smile, “Don’t worry, I don’t think of you two that way. Whether you like n or won, I can see that clearly.”
“Then what are you laughing about?”
“Nothing, just felt like laughing.”
Ye Jiuqing squinted his eyes slightly and shook his head helplessly, lifting his hand to gently tap her nose.
She was stunned by his gesture.
It was the first ti soone had done that to her.
She blinked and felt her heart racing again.
She imdiately averted her gaze.
Because she realized now, any random action or word from Ye Jiuqing could throw her heart into chaos.
Moreover, this man, when he gets charming, seems more alluring than anyone.
At this mont, Ye Jiuqing suddenly reached out and pinched her cheek, “Why’s your face red?”
Ella swatted his hand away, saying, “I’m just feeling stuffy.”
Then, she rolled down the car window.
“But your ears are also…”
Before he could finish, she covered her ears with her hands.
Seeing this, Ye Jiuqing chuckled softly but said no more.
“Alright, don’t let the cold wind blow at you. Be careful not to catch a cold,” he said.
He extended his long arm and rolled up her window.
Ella’s touched feelings were instantly shattered.
“If you get sick, who will take care of ?” he said.
Ella: “…”
She had just praised him, and here he goes reverting to his true form in a second.
“Wake up when we reach the airport.”
With that, she said nothing more and closed her eyes to sleep.
…
By the ti they returned to F country, it was already evening.
Ella had arranged everything in advance. Once off the plane, she took Ye Jiuqing to the hospital.
She placed him in the room next to her brother’s.
“Do I really have to stay here?”
Ye Jiuqing looked at her and asked again.
Ella smiled and nodded, “Yes, really.”
“Isn’t there another room? This one’s too close.”
“No.”
“…”
“You haven’t even t him yet, why are you already chickening out?”
Ye Jiuqing sighed inwardly.
How could she possibly understand his feelings at this mont?
This feeling, he found hard to describe; in short, he felt terrified of the man next door from the depths of his heart.
anwhile, Helan Qiuzhe had already learned from Shao Chuan about Ye Jiuqing staying next door.
