Chapter 331
Ye Xingguang couldn’t conceal the displeasure in her voice: “Could it be your first girlfriend?”
Back at the movie theater, he described his first love as an insensitive scoundrel. Was it possible that his first love was from her same year taking the college entrance exam?
Ye Junqing caught a hint of jealousy in her tone, his feelings of being cuckolded suddenly were soothed. Lifting his eyelids, he glanced at her, “Jealous?”
Three casual words, but they carried a hint of a lazy smile.
Ye Xingguang kicked at him, unwilling to admit, “Who doesn’t have a past. Why would I be jelly about your stale, old vinegar? Anyway, I won’t talk anymore, I’m going to be with my dad.”
With that, Ye Xingguang walked into the sickroom.
Although it was a sickroom, it was cozier and more luxurious than a five-star hotel.
Ye Junqing followed her in, his voice sweet, polite and elegant: “Father, Mother, you must be tired from your journey. If it were not inconvenient to take care of you, I would not have had Xingguang bring you to the capital for treatment, but the medical conditions here are indeed better than T City.”
Song Chuanqi was lying in the sickbed and did not share the unease of ordinary people when they move into a luxury mansion, he just lightly nodded, “You are thoughtful.”
Bai Lanwu thought of the photo online, afraid her son-in-law would misunderstand: “Xiao Ye, things between Xingguang and Xia Xia are not how you imagine.”
“I know, Mother, I didn’t misunderstand. Xia Ye Zhao and I are close friends. Xia Ye Zhao told me that Xingguang is his sister, so I had asked Xia Ye Zhao to look after Xingguang. I trust them.”
Bai Lanwu relaxed upon hearing his words.
Standing nearby, Ye Xingguang heard Ye Junqing’s words and was struck with realization. So, that’s how it was?
Bai Lanwu said, “Xia Xia insisted that Xingguang is his sister. He probably made a mistake. Since you and Xia Xia are close friends, you should talk him out of this idea. We did indeed save his sister before, but she is no more now. I hope he stops pestering Xingguang.”
From his mother-in-law’s tone, it seemed she didn’t want Xia Xia to recognize his biological parents either. Ye Junqing understood his parents-in-law’s reluctance to lose their daughter and nodded, “Alright.”
“Now that everything is out in the open, have you thought about how to deal with the news online?”
Seeing their daughter being scolded like that online, as parents, both were holding in frustration.
Ye Junqing said, “Mother, don’t worry. I’ll handle this matter. You and Xingguang just focus on taking care of Father in the hospital. I’ve taken steps to block the news and have bodyguards outside the mansion. The media won’t disturb Father’s recovery, nor will they bother Xingguang.”
Upon saying this, he took a new cellphone from his pocket and handed it to Ye Xingguang: “In the next few days, keep your cellphone off and use this one, it’ll be quieter.”
She had already turned off her phone due to bothersome calls and various messages.noveldrama
She was not bothered by her own gossip news at the moment. What bothered her more was Xia Yanyan trying to steal her man.
In the evening, Ye Junqing had dinner at the hospital and stayed until nine o’clock. Ye Xingguang became sleepy, but the man showed no signs of leaving. He casually sat in the living area on a sofa, leisurely flipping through a magazine.
Ye Xingguang had no choice but to speak up, “Aren’t you going home?”
Ye Junqing lounged lazily on the sofa, not moving an inch, “I also need to lie low for a while. The hospital is pretty nice.”
If not, he would be annoyed to death by his brothers at home, all of whom were urging him to prioritize the bigger picture.
Ye Xingguang: “…”
So, what did he imply by this?
Ye Junqing looked at the time and said, “You go take a shower first. I’ll wash after you. Xiao Yun hasn’t brought my change of clothes and toiletries yet. I’ll wait a bit.”
