"Mm-hmm." Having received the answer she wanted, Yun Chuqing happily nestled her petite fra into Ye Fei's arms, her heart aching as she gazed at her mother's pale but beautiful face. Together with her beloved brother, she waited for her mother to wake up.
Although the recovery pill was incredibly potent, Ye Ningbing had lost too much blood, and she didn't wake up until dawn. However, her complexion had already regained its rosy hue.
Yun Chuqing, who had been curled up in Ye Fei's arms, had long since fallen asleep. Throughout the night, she muttered dreamy words that both amused and touched Ye Fei, "Mom, you have to be okay. Chuqing hasn't had the chance to serve brother with you yet."
"Brother, you have to save Mom. Chuqing will repay you, Chuqing will… eat for you, eat so much!" These kinds of murmurs continued almost all night.
Gently picking up the deeply sleeping Yun Chuqing, Ye Fei placed her beside Ye Ningbing. Just as he was about to go prepare breakfast for them, he heard movent at the front door.
Extending his senses, he was surprised to find two unexpected visitors—his eldest aunt, Ye Ningshuang, and his second aunt, Ye Ningxue. Although they didn't live too far from Ye Ningbing, they rarely visited each other's hos since they saw each other daily at work. So why had they co over so early this morning?
With a faint sense of curiosity, Ye Fei went downstairs to greet them, eting them in the living room. He greeted them warmly, "Eldest Aunt, Second Aunt."
Seeing Ye Fei here, both won were visibly surprised. Ye Ningshuang, in particular, had a look of deep longing in her eyes. Although Ye Fei often called her, it had been a long ti since they had seen each other in person.
"Ye Fei, what are you doing here? Is your youngest aunt okay?" Ye Ningxue asked, her brows furrowed with concern.
"Why do you ask?" Ye Fei was even more puzzled. Only he and Yun Chuqing knew about what had happened to Ye Ningbing. How had they found out?
Ye Ningshuang smiled and explained, "Last night, I had a strange dream. I dread that Ningbing was in trouble. When I tried calling her this morning, I couldn't get through. Then, when I called Xiaoxue, she told she'd had the sa dream. We were so worried. But now it seems like we were overthinking it."
So that's how it was? Ye Fei thought to himself. It seed that the sisters had a kind of telepathic connection, though not as strong as the one he shared with his younger sister. Since it was clear he couldn't keep this from them, he sighed and said, "You weren't wrong. Sothing did happen to youngest aunt last night, but she's fine now."
"Sothing happened? What happened to Ningbing?" Both Ye Ningshuang and Ye Ningxue's expressions changed instantly, their voices perfectly synchronized as they asked the question.
Ye Fei couldn't help but marvel at how in sync they were as sisters. He wondered if his mother and his aunts were ever this in tune with each other. He'd have to test that soti.
"It's nothing serious. She accidentally cut her wrist, but it was taken care of last night," Ye Fei downplayed the situation to avoid worrying them.
However, Ye Ningshuang and Ye Ningxue weren't convinced. If it had been just a minor accident, why would they have had such vivid dreams? Without another word, they pulled Ye Fei upstairs and into Ye Ningbing's bedroom. Seeing her sleeping peacefully, they finally let out a sigh of relief.
Perhaps the sound of the door opening stirred Ye Ningbing. After a long night of deep sleep, she slowly opened her eyes. At first, she looked around in confusion, but when her gaze landed on Ye Fei, her eyes lit up with intense emotion.
Without a second thought, she jumped up, completely naked, and threw herself into Ye Fei's arms, clinging tightly to his neck. "Ye Fei, don't leave !" she pleaded, her voice trembling with fear.
Instinctively, Ye Fei wrapped his arms around Ye Ningbing's slender waist. The mont his hands touched her soft, delicate skin, his heart skipped a beat.
The morning was when n were most impulsive, and now he found himself holding a woman whose beauty and figure were unparalleled. The sensation of her firm, supple body pressed against his chest quickly stirred a reaction in him.
If it had just been Ye Ningshuang in the room, Ye Fei might have acted on his impulses. But with Ye Ningxue present, he had to restrain himself. He carried Ye Ningbing's seductive form back to the bed, intending to lay her down again.
But Ye Ningbing clung to him desperately, refusing to let go. Even though she saw her two sisters in the room, she didn't loosen her grip. Having faced death once, she cherished her newfound happiness even more. Her emotions were still unstable, and her mind was fixated on one thing: holding onto her happiness. Even if her sisters didn't understand, even if they scolded her, she wouldn't let go.
Seeing this, Ye Ningxue's expression turned strange. She was about to ask sothing, but Ye Ningshuang stopped her and pulled her out of the room.
"Be good. Tell , what happened? Why did you do sothing so reckless?" With his aunts gone, Ye Fei no longer held back. He gently stroked Ye Ningbing's smooth back as he asked her softly.
The warmth of Ye Fei's embrace and his soothing touch quickly cald Ye Ningbing. When he asked about what had happened, she replied with a hint of embarrassnt, "I misunderstood you. Yesterday, that woman who was with Yun Jing ca to see . She said you wanted to kill her."
Though Ye Ningbing didn't explain in detail, Ye Fei imdiately understood. No wonder she had acted so rashly—she had thought he had betrayed her, and it had driven her to despair.
Just as Ye Fei was about to explain, Ye Ningbing spoke first, "At the ti, I felt like you had lied to , and it hurt so much. I wanted to escape the pain of being betrayed by the person I love most. But when I was on the verge of losing consciousness, I realized sothing. The reason you used such thods was because you love too. So I didn't want to die anymore, but by then, I had no strength left."
She paused, lifting her head from Ye Fei's chest to gaze at him with deep affection. "Do you know what I thought at that mont? I regretted it so much, and I was so scared. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm terrified of never seeing you again."
I'm not afraid of death, but I'm terrified of never seeing you again.
These words struck Ye Fei to his core, filling him with overwhelming emotion. He held Ye Ningbing's delicate form tightly, his heart no longer driven by desire but by boundless affection.
"Promise you'll never think like that again, okay? If sothing happened to you, it would break my heart forever," he said softly.
