Chapter 318: Chapter 0318: You Shall Die
In the early morning, as the first ray of sunlight pierced through the horizon from east to west, Ye Xunhuan woke up as usual without the need for an alarm.
Because the curtains were drawn in the room, the light inside was somewhat dim.
Beside him, the rhythmic breathing of Mei Hanqing rose and fell in Ye Xunhuan’s ear.
In the dim bedroom, Ye Xunhuan, fearful of waking the sleeping Mei Hanqing, dared not move at all and simply stared at the ceiling in silence.
After an indefinite amount of time, the pleasant ringtone of the cellphone on the bedside cabinet suddenly shattered the room’s tranquility.
The gentle ringtone had just started when Ye Xunhuan distinctly felt the delicate body in his arms shiver slightly, then grow incredibly tense, and finally struggle violently, sitting up abruptly.
It seemed she had been awakened by the ringtone!
The startled Mei Hanqing appeared not yet fully awake from her dreams and didn’t even notice that Ye Xunhuan by her side was already awake. Instead, she clumsily reached out, grabbed the nearby phone, and turned off the alarm.
After turning off the alarm, Mei Hanqing’s sleepiness also largely dissipated.
"Don’t get up like this anymore, it’s bad for your health," Ye Xunhuan suddenly said.
Having said this, Ye Xunhuan sighed softly in his heart. He could tell from this that Mei Hanqing was a woman with an extreme lack of security.
But then again, it made sense. Mei Hanqing’s living conditions had always been so poor, how could she possibly feel secure?
Even last night, after Mei Hanqing had fallen asleep, Ye Xunhuan could feel her body uncontrollably shiver several times; she would curl up tightly and even talk in her sleep.
And those so-called sleep talks were almost all about the orphanage, and she would cling tightly to Ye Xunhuan as if she were very afraid.
This filled Ye Xunhuan’s heart with unprecedented bitterness. The past life had left too deep a shadow in her heart, and even after stepping into society, the malice of human hearts rendered her walking on thin ice!
Every step she took had to be with caution because she was a woman, a beautiful woman.
In these times, being too beautiful can sometimes be a sin for a woman!
Looking at Mei Hanqing in front of him, Ye Xunhuan’s heart was filled with a mixture of emotions. She was a woman worthy of any man’s pity.
Startled by Ye Xunhuan’s words, Mei Hanqing jumped!
However, immediately after, her heart swelled with sweetness, and she felt an unprecedented sense of happiness, "You’re awake, I thought you hadn’t woken up yet..."
After sharing a tender moment in bed, Mei Hanqing got straight up and began to prepare breakfast.
This warmed Ye Xunhuan’s heart, and he couldn’t help but think of Qiu Ruoxi. How wonderful it would be if she would treat him like this one day!
After breakfast, Ye Xunhuan took Mei Hanqing directly to the company.
As soon as Ye Xunhuan arrived at the office, he was called away by Qiu Ruoxi.
At this moment, in the president’s office, Qiu Ruoxi’s face was clouded over as if a storm was about to break out, and her eyes were cold to the extreme.
When Ye Xunhuan walked in and saw Qiu Ruoxi’s expression, his heart trembled slightly.
What’s got into this woman so early in the morning, who has annoyed her?
"Wife..."
"Quit grinning at me!" Qiu Ruoxi said, her face stern and her words as cold as ice beads, upon seeing Ye Xunhuan’s smiling face: "Where did you go last night, and why didn’t you come home all night!"
Qiu Ruoxi had waited for Ye Xunhuan for most of the night yesterday, yet this damned man not only failed to return, but he also didn’t even make a phone call!
When Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong were around, although this guy would come back late, he would at least come back. Now look at him, Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong have barely left, and he’s already started not coming home at night!
Because of this, Qiu Ruoxi was indeed filled with rage!
This bastard, as soon as his parents left, he started fooling around again, which is totally outrageous.
Upon hearing Qiu Ruoxi’s words, Ye Xunhuan was taken aback, then a look of realization appeared on his face, and he said with a cheeky smile, "Wife, are you worried about me?"
"I’m worried about you, my foot!" Qiu Ruoxi said coldly, "Do you know that Nanny Wang waited up for you for most of last night?"
"Ye Xunhuan, let me tell you, home isn’t a hotel where you can come and go as you please," Qiu Ruoxi said icily. "If you don’t want to come back, then never come back again, and get out of Missy’s sight!"
This time, Qiu Ruoxi was really angry. Last time she had already told Ye Xunhuan once, if he wasn’t going to come back, he should at least say something, but this guy, he remained totally silent.
Still the same as before!
"Wife, I used to be like this too, and you never used to get so angry with me. You even wanted me not to come back!" Ye Xunhuan was puzzled by Qiu Ruoxi’s thinking. "Could it be that after sharing the bed for a few days, you’ve started to fall for me, can’t live without me, can’t sleep without me holding you?"
At the words of Ye Xunhuan, Qiu Ruoxi’s heart fluttered slightly.
Yeah, she wasn’t like this before, she just wished the guy wouldn’t come back, but what was happening now?
Why did she suddenly start caring so much about whether this bastard comes back at night or goes off fooling around with other women?
Could it be that she actually started liking him?
Impossible, how could she possibly like such a bastard!
Right, she could never like this bastard.
Aside from making her angry and bullying her, he didn’t dare do anything else, how could she possibly like him?
Qiu Ruoxi comforted herself in her heart.
"Who likes you? I’m just feeling a bit sorry for Nanny Wang who’s always waiting for you!"
"Oh, Nanny Wang’s always waiting for me, but you’re not, right?"
"How could I possibly wait for you!"
"Then how do you know Nanny Wang is waiting for me?"
"I..."
"Could it be, you found out when you got up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night?" Ye Xunhuan’s lips slowly formed a sly smile!
"Yes!"
"Wrong!" Ye Xunhuan said lightly, "There’s a bathroom inside your bedroom, and Nanny Wang typically waits for me in the living room!"
Seeing the light smile on Ye Xunhuan’s lips, Qiu Ruoxi knew she had been tricked by Ye Xunhuan again, "Ye Xunhuan, you bastard, you tricked me into talking again!"
"I’m going to fight you, Mister!"
"Wife, I was wrong, I was wrong, next time I don’t come back I’ll definitely inform you in advance!" Ye Xunhuan said hurriedly upon seeing this.
"It’s too late now, you’re dead meat. How dare you make Missy wait up for you for most of the night, I won’t let you off!" Knowing that her words had been drawn out by Ye Xunhuan, Qiu Ruoxi didn’t hide it any longer!
