Chapter 560
“Life’s pleasure must be utterly savored. That bastard Ye even managed to aggravate his mother-in-law too, that’s absolutely delightful! If it weren’t for the occasion, Han Chengbei would have wanted to howl with laughter to the sky. It’s not that vengeance doesn’t come, it’s just not the time yet!”
Today, he could finally take revenge for the grudge of his lost arm.
However, when he walked into the room and saw Ye Xingguang’s pale face, Han Chengbei wasn’t in the mood to be happy anymore.
As he approached the bed, he wasn’t sure why Xia Ye Zhao was there too. Right now, though, he didn’t have the leisure to worry about it. He stood beside Xia Ye Zhao, looking deeply concerned, “Oh man, my lord, why do you look so sick all of a sudden? You didn’t get sick from Ye, did you?”
“No, I just have food poisoning.”
Ye Xingguang denied, straining to listen to the sounds outside the room, she weakly shook her head: “Why did you come?”
“Didn’t you post on Weibo that you were sick? I saw the post just as I was having porridge, so I brought some for you. Can you still eat it by yourself, or should I feed you?”
“Thank you, but I don’t really feel like eating right now.”
Xia Ye Zhao glanced at the porridge in Han Chengbei’s hands, noticing the plastic bag: “Did you buy it from Zhoujitang, the medicinal porridge place?”
Zhoujitang’s medicinal porridge was indeed clean, hygienic, and warmed the stomach. It was opened by a descendant of a famous traditional Chinese medicine family and had a good reputation. Xia Ye Zhao said: “Give me the porridge. I’ll eat a bit to warm up my stomach. Xu Ya also recommended some light food before she left. You can’t eat nothing.”noveldrama
Han Chengbei handed the medicinal porridge to Xia Ye Zhao. Xia Ye Zhao opened the packaging, ready to feed Ye Xingguang herself.
Ye Xingguang shook her head, her stomach still wasn’t feeling well: “I really can’t eat any. I’ll just throw up later if I do.”
“Listen, just take a few bites. I promise you don’t have to eat a lot.”
“Alright then.”
Ye Xingguang sat up, and Han Chengbei immediately rushed to the other side, stuffing two pillows behind her to lean on.
Ye wanted to go in, but he was blocked by his mother-in-law. If it was anyone else it could be tolerated, but when blocked by his mother-in-law, he had no choice but to look at Han Chengbei and Xia Ye Zhao, fussing over Xia Ye.
Tang Zhou stood beside Ye saying: “Auntie, brother Ye didn’t know Xia Ye was sick because he’s been so busy these days. If he had known, he would have come immediately. He really cares about Xia Ye. Could you let Brother Ye come in?”
Bai Lanwu looked really upset: “Busy with what? Busy flirting with other women, neglecting my daughter? It’s true, my daughter is not what you truly want. She was indeed given to you by the country. We can accept that. If you don’t like her, then let’s call it quits. We can afford the penalty of ten million. There are many other good suitors for her anyway, not just you. I see that Xia Han in the room is pretty good.”
Han Chengbei immediately ran out of the room, saying: “Auntie, you really have a good eye. I do like your daughter a lot. It’s a shame that Xia Ye is already spoken for, and I’m not the kind to interfere with someone else’s relationship. I can only suppress my feelings and be a regular friend. But if you think I’m good enough for her, if Xia Ye and Ye break off their arranged marriage, I’ll definitely cherish Xia Ye like a treasure.”
“Did you hear that? My daughter is not to be trifled with! She isn’t going to desperately cling to you! If you fail to cherish her, break things off. I have really misjudged you! I actually thought you would be a good son-in-law!”
Ye wished he could kick the rabble-rousing Han Chengbei away. Especially while facing his mother-in-law’s words, Ye didn’t dare to pull a long face in front of his mother-in-law and could only apologize with caution. However, he responded: “Mom, when have I ever been busy flirting with other women? Where did you hear such rumors?”
