Chapter 567

By now, Ye Junqin’s face was so dark that it could not be described as ferrous green anymore. Given his poor character, not only did his brother-in-law fail to support him, but he even fanned the flames. Didn’t his brother-in-law know who Yan Xi liked, and for whom she had remained single till now?

However, Ye Junqin felt unable to counter what Xia Ye Zhao had last said. Being falsely accused was worse than being wronged, yet he found himself at a loss for words.

Looking at the small mermaid’s pale face, he felt both heartache and indignation. Finally, he understood what it felt like to be unjustly accused.

Did the small mermaid feel like this, blamed and misunderstood, during that night on the island?

Ye Junqin was filled with self-reproach and helplessness. Fueled by his brother-in-law’s provocations, he was afraid that anything he said now would fall on deaf ears.

Ye Junqin sat beside her, crossing his hands over his face, trying hard to stabilize his voice. “Don’t listen to your brother’s nonsense. Yan Xi does like someone, but it’s not me. It’s Tang Xiao, the elder brother of Xiao Zhou whom you know.”

Ye Xingguang bit her lips, seeing him covering his face with his hands, looking like he was in unbearable pain.

So, the truth was, he liked Yan Xi and Yan Xi liked Tang Xiao?

So, Yan Xi was the one who broke his heart, making him wish to forget her but unable to, the fickle woman he wanted but could never have?

Perhaps only a woman like Yan Xi could make Ye Junqin unable to forget yet unable to have her. Otherwise, she found it hard to imagine what kind of powerful woman would make Ye Junqin remember her so much yet disregard him?

Ye Xingguang was trying to suppress her jealousy. She twitched her quilt and said, “Brother, tell him to leave. I don’t want to hear him talking.”

This man was here just to annoy her, and he even broke her room door. How was she going to sleep at night?

After speaking, Ye Xingguang added another sentence, “Tell him to fix the door!”

Xia Ye Zhao was waiting for this moment. His face cold, he said, “Ye Junqin, did you hear that? Go out and call someone to fix the door.”

Ye Junqin wished he could kill his brother-in-law now, but he wasn’t going to leave. He sat on the bed’s edge like a Buddha in meditation. He could only tuck her quilt from time to time and smooth her hair. He couldn’t do anything more.

He couldn’t invade her body and kill all the viruses. Even if the doctor couldn’t cure her quickly, he had no ability to do it either. He placed his hand on her forehead; it was so hot that his heart ached.

She wasn’t supposed to catch this disease. It all happened because she bumped into him and Yan Xi having dinner in a restaurant and then went to other places. Ye Junqin felt like he could stab his own heart.

Xia Ye Zhao yelled a few more times, but seeing Ye Junqin unmoved, he clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white. He dared not utter another word, worrying that Ye Junqin might come over and beat him up.

At that moment, Ye Xingguang felt a rumbling in her stomach. She needed to use the bathroom again.

Lifting the blanket, she tried to get up and go to the bathroom.

Ye Junqin asked her, “What are you trying to do?” noveldrama

Ye Xingguang hurriedly got out of bed while fuming, “Since you won’t leave, fine, I’ll go out myself.”

Worried about her aggravating her condition, Ye Junqin said more harshly, “Stop messing around. You’re this sick and still want to go out? Lie down and don’t get out of the bed!”

“Let go of me, don’t touch me.”

Seeing her struggling to get down, Ye Junqin exploded, “You better stay in bed and don’t dare go anywhere!”
