Chapter 698: Chapter 0698: Worried That the Lin Family Might Make a Move en Route
Although Mei Hanqing said she didn’t care and wouldn’t get involved, Ye Xunhuan knew in his heart that actually, Mei Hanqing was really upset about it, but when he thought about it, it seemed right.
Previously, Mei Hanqing had also run into him with Su Guyan, but it wasn’t until now that Ye Xunhuan came looking for her, Mei Hanqing.
Even if Mei Hanqing really hadn’t minded at first, the fact that Ye Xunhuan hadn’t come to see her for the past two days was probably very uncomfortable for her, wasn’t it?
"Xiao Qingqing, I know I’m a real bastard, and I’ve really done you wrong, or rather, I’ve neglected and ignored you these past two days..."
Ye Xunhuan didn’t get handsy with Mei Hanqing, instead looking at her with utter seriousness and began talking earnestly.
"If you’re feeling upset, hit me a couple of times..."
As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan took Mei Hanqing’s fair and delicate hand, pretending to strike his own face with it.
But the next moment, Mei Hanqing quickly clenched her little fist, looking as if she couldn’t bear to follow through!
"Who... who said I was going to hit you!"
"You’re not angry anymore?"
"At first, I really was angry. Even though I never thought of being your wife, there you go, having another woman on the side. Suddenly I didn’t know where I stood in your heart. I used to be the second, and now, I guess I don’t even matter anymore..."
"That’s not true, you’ll always have a place in my heart!" Ye Xunhuan said, looking at Mei Hanqing tenderly: "In my heart, you all are the same, there’s no ranking at all. Apart from the fact that I can’t give you a title, you are absolutely very important to me!"
"Sweet talker, you’ve probably deceived many women, right?" Mei Hanqing’s heart was filled with secret delight, but she still coquettishly rolled her eyes at Ye Xunhuan!
In fact, when she saw Ye Xunhuan and Su Guyan together, she did feel uncomfortable, but that was just a momentary feeling. Afterwards, Mei Hanqing had completely come to terms with it.
Given everything that Ye Xunhuan had shown, it was destined that he would not only have one woman by his side.
As long as she could stay by his side and he held her in his heart, she was satisfied. What made her uncomfortable was that Ye Xunhuan hadn’t come to see her for a couple of days, as if he had simply forgotten her.
That made Mei Hanqing feel very uncomfortable inside.
"Am I that kind of person?"
Mei Hanqing didn’t say anything but pouted a little, looking silly and cute, while seemingly saying, aren’t you just like that!
Seeing her reaction, Ye Xunhuan felt utterly powerless inside.
"Xunhuan, I don’t care how many women you have on the outside, nor do I care who will become your wife in the future, but you must remember, there’s a silly woman who will always stand waiting for you in the world. You must not forget..."
Hearing Mei Hanqing’s words, a warm current immediately coursed through Ye Xunhuan’s heart: "Silly woman!"
"If I weren’t silly, would I follow you around, you who flirts left and right?"
"It’s you who flirted with me, okay? I was originally holding firm to the principle of ’married man, smiling at you is just politeness’..."
"Who flirted with you? It was you who flirted with me..."
In comparison, Mei Hanqing was much easier to appease than Qiu Ruoxi. Ye Xunhuan hardly had to put in any effort before he had Mei Hanqing soothed, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
After leaving Mei Hanqing’s place, Ye Xunhuan’s face was full of joy. Now, the only one left was his ice-cold wife!
When would she be so easy to appease?
After work, Ye Xunhuan did not leave on his own but left for the hospital together with Qiu Ruoxi to visit Xiao Jiu.
Although Qiu Ruoxi was cold, she wasn’t uncultured in the ways of the world; on the way to the hospital, she specifically bought some fruit!
After the two arrived at the hospital, Xiao Jiu was sitting on the hospital bed chatting and laughing with Ma Yingjun, both surrounded by a haze of cigarette smoke.
It was apparent that Xiao Jiu was in a good mood now.
When Xiao Jiu saw Ye Xunhuan bring Qiu Ruoxi over, he hurriedly snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and greeted Qiu Ruoxi with a smile on his face, "Sister-in-law, what brings you here?" 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Upon seeing Qiu Ruoxi, Ma Yingjun paused slightly. He had met her twice before and knew of Qiu Ruoxi.
However, he didn’t know the relationship between Qiu Ruoxi and Ye Xunhuan, or rather, he had vaguely guessed some connections before, but couldn’t confirm them.
Suddenly remembering something, Xiao Jiu said to Ma Yingjun, "What are you dazing off for? This is the big sister-in-law, call her that quickly!"
After hearing Xiao Jiu’s words, Ma Yingjun immediately snapped back to reality and hurriedly called out to Qiu Ruoxi, "Big sister-in-law..."
Hearing Xiao Jiu and Ma Yingjun call her ’sister-in-law,’ a blush slowly crept across Qiu Ruoxi’s pretty face!
Qiu Ruoxi nodded and asked Xiao Jiu, "Are you okay?"
"I was in some pain from my wounds, but now that you’re here, sister-in-law, hey, I find that the wounds don’t hurt anymore!" Xiao Jiu exclaimed dramatically.
Upon hearing Xiao Jiu’s sycophantic words, Qiu Ruoxi gave a wry smile, thinking birds of a feather flock together.
Ye Xunhuan is like that, and so are his brothers.
"Stop sucking up!" Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but interrupt, "If it doesn’t hurt, spar with me for a couple of rounds..."
"I’m not selling myself short!" Xiao Jiu retorted with a pout, "Sister-in-law, please, have a seat, sit!"
As he spoke, Xiao Jiu glanced at Ma Yingjun, "What are you spacing out for? Go pour some tea for sister-in-law!"
"No need!" Qiu Ruoxi interjected, "We’re all family here, no need for such courtesy!"
Xiao Jiu chuckled, "Sister-in-law, I feel embarrassed for you having to visit me in a place like this, I..."
"It’s nothing, you’re Xunhuan’s brother; it’s only natural that I come to see you now that you’re hospitalized, and haven’t you also helped us out before?" Qiu Ruoxi said indifferently.
"What I did was just running errands; the real help came from Brother Xunhuan!"
At that moment, Ye Xunhuan suddenly asked, "How is Lin Qingyun now?"
"He’s been sentenced to death, execution at noon tomorrow!" Xiao Jiu’s eyes flashed with intense hatred as he spoke of Lin Qingyun, "My aunt has already paved the way, letting me settle the score with him tomorrow!"
Executing Lin Qingyun was Xiao Jiu’s long-standing dream. Now he could finally fulfill it and avenge his fiancee.
"I’ll accompany you," Ye Xunhuan said flatly!
"Brother Xunhuan..."
"Enough, no more discussion—it’s decided!"
Ye Xunhuan didn’t stay too long with Qiu Ruoxi at the hospital. After a brief conversation, they left.
Once outside the hospital, Qiu Ruoxi looked at Ye Xunhuan and asked, "Are you worried he might run into danger?"
"The Lin family is not to be underestimated. Even though Lin Qingyun deserves to die, if we kill him, I’m worried someone from the Lin family will ambush Xiao Jiu on the way!"
As Ye Xunhuan spoke, a hint of worry showed in his eyes.
In truth, Ye Xunhuan’s concern wasn’t unfounded—the members of the Lin family, Lin Zhetian and Lin Zhenbei, had already returned!
