Chapter 538: Chapter 0538: What Must Be Confronted Will Always Be Confronted
Under the streetlight, the woman’s shadow stretched long.
Her supple hair cascaded down like a waterfall, her phoenix eyes as bright as the full moon, her delicate face was flawless, her brows naturally green, her lips naturally red, her nose as though suspended on a gallstone, she was an artwork intricately sculpted by God!
Based solely on her face, she could keep countless otakus busy non-stop, let alone the fact that her figure was top-notch, the dreamed-of S-curve that countless women yearned for!
The woman just stood in the middle of the road, not the least bit afraid Ye Xunhuan would hit her with his car!
When Ye Xunhuan saw Liu Qingcheng, he immediately slammed on the brakes and brought the car to a stop.
The moment the car stopped, Liu Qingcheng stepped forward and walked toward it.
At the same time, Ye Xunhuan had rolled down the car window.
"You alright?" Liu Qingcheng asked Ye Xunhuan with concern.
She knew more about Ye Xunhuan’s health than anyone else.
Though she didn’t know what had exactly happened tonight, she understood that if Ye Xunhuan had proactively contacted her to protect Qiu Ruoxi, it must have been a serious matter.
And indeed, she had encountered some people, and they were all skilled, thoroughly trained, but she had killed them.
What about Ye Xunhuan?
If ace fighters had appeared around Qiu Ruoxi, then Ye Xunhuan’s situation must have been even worse, right?
If Ye Xunhuan’s illness had flared up...
Liu Qingcheng dared not think further.
Ye Xunhuan shook his head, "I’m okay, nothing serious!"
"Thank you for today!"
"No problem!" Liu Qingcheng let out a sigh of relief, "What on earth happened?"
Ye Xunhuan didn’t hold back and gave Liu Qingcheng a brief overview of the events.
"People from the Dark Council have actually entered Huaxia?" Liu Qingcheng showed a hint of surprise on her delicate face, "Their chairman also came?"
"Yes," Ye Xunhuan nodded, "Your intelligence is not sufficient, or rather, someone is conspiring with them in secret to target me!"
"Be careful in the future, don’t be used by others!"
"Damn!" Liu Qingcheng said angrily, "If I find out who’s been doing these deeds behind the scenes, I won’t let them off!"
Ye Xunhuan simply smiled faintly, without saying much.
"Keep this a secret for me, don’t tell Auntie..."
"But..."
"I don’t want Auntie to worry about me!"
Seeing Ye Xunhuan’s slightly pleading eyes, Liu Qingcheng’s heart softened, and she nodded, "Fine, I won’t tell Auntie, but you’ll have to be more careful in the future!"
"And you had better assign someone to protect Qiu Ruoxi, or..."
"I’ve already found someone," Ye Xunhuan said calmly, "Something like this shouldn’t happen again in the future!"
"That’s good." Liu Qingcheng immediately relaxed, "Well, it’s getting late, I won’t bother you any longer, head back and rest soon!"
"I saw Qiu Ruoxi’s condition wasn’t too good, you should hurry back and be with her!"
Liu Qingcheng hadn’t contacted Xiao Jiu, so she didn’t know what scene Qiu Ruoxi had witnessed, only that Qiu Ruoxi seemed somewhat downhearted.
Ye Xunhuan let out a wry smile, it would be a surprise if Qiu Ruoxi’s condition was good!
After all, that bloody side was utterly unbearable for any normal person, yet Qiu Ruoxi had neither screamed out in terror nor thrown a tantrum.
Then, Liu Qingcheng left without any hesitation or delay.
After Willow Qing left, Ye Xunhuan drove straight into the villa.
Once he parked the car in the garage, Ye Xunhuan got out of the car.
After stepping out of the car, Ye Xunhuan let out a heavy sigh, knowing that what had to be faced could not be avoided forever, as evasion wouldn’t solve anything.
Then, Ye Xunhuan lifted his feet and walked towards the inside of the villa.
The closer he got to the villa, the more unsettled and nervous Ye Xunhuan felt!
Suddenly, he realized that Qiu Ruoxi had somehow moved into his heart, and he didn’t know when he had started to care so much about her!
Confronted with countless battles and powerful opponents, Ye Xunhuan, who never knew fear, felt afraid at this moment.
He was truly afraid.
He was afraid that Qiu Ruoxi would leave him because of his dark and violent side.
At this moment, each step Ye Xunhuan took seemed to drain all of his strength, causing his breathing to become rapid and cold sweat to appear on his forehead!
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan wished the distance to the villa could be longer, seemingly endless.
But wishes are only wishes, and reality is always slightly different. Ye Xunhuan eventually reached the entrance to the villa, and now he just needed to take one step to enter it!
Just one step more.
However, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t bring himself to take it, just standing there, his facial expression fluctuating unpredictably.
After who knows how long, Ye Xunhuan exhaled heavily and stepped forward, entering the villa. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝘣.𝘤𝘰𝑚
This step had to be taken no matter the outcome!
As soon as Ye Xunhuan walked into the villa, Qiu Ruoxi, who had been sitting in the living room in a daze, immediately snapped back to reality and instinctively looked towards the door.
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan’s figure entered Qiu Ruoxi’s view.
By now, Ye Xunhuan had changed into a new outfit, which he had done while arranging things for Qianhuan Lanqin and Qianhuan Liuyun, and the clothes were bought by Qianhuan Liuyun!
Therefore, Ye Xunhuan appeared normal, just like usual.
Xiao Jiu, who had been accompanying Qiu Ruoxi, also turned his head to look at Ye Xunhuan at the same time.
Looking at Ye Xunhuan, who was close at hand, Qiu Ruoxi’s heart felt as if a bottle of mixed emotions had been knocked over!
She wanted to pretend everything was normal and start speaking, but she found she couldn’t do it.
Xiao Jiu immediately sensed that the atmosphere in the room had become a bit strained and spoke up, "Brother Huan, you’re back!"
With that, Xiao Jiu went to greet Ye Xunhuan!
"Brother Huan, what are you standing there for? Sister-in-law has been waiting for you!"
Qiu Ruoxi was personally brought back by Xiao Jiu, while Qin Muge had been sent away by someone he had arranged.
But all the way until now, Qiu Ruoxi had barely spoken, nor had she asked Xiao Jiu about anything related to Ye Xunhuan.
It was as if she was avoiding something, yet at the same time waiting for this man to return and tell her in person.
Xiao Jiu brought Ye Xunhuan next to Qiu Ruoxi and then chuckled, "Alright, Sister-in-law, Brother Huan is back now, so I’ll leave you two alone!"
"Have a good chat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Jiu left without waiting for Ye Xunhuan or Qiu Ruoxi to say anything.
This was a matter between Qiu Ruoxi and Ye Xunhuan; he couldn’t intervene or help, even if he and Ye Xunhuan were brothers, he couldn’t assist in this kind of situation.
With Xiao Jiu gone, only Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi were left in the vast living room of the villa, and the atmosphere became slightly eerie.
After what felt like a long time, Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath and slowly started speaking, breaking the eerie and silent atmosphere.
