Chapter 578
Ye Junqing cupped her head, sealing her mouth with his. Ye Xingguang pushed him away, “Stop… I might vomit again.”
Seeing that Ye Junqing wasn’t listening, she cautioned, “Be careful, or I might vomit into your mouth.”
Only then did Ye Junqing release her, his dark eyes reflecting profound hurt as he stared intensely at her. The intensity of his gaze somehow softened her heart. Annoyed, she changed the subject, “Have you taken a shower tonight? You came up on my bed. I’ve already been poisoned; don’t bring new viruses to me and make me even sicker.”
In the next instant, Ye Junqing kicked off the quilt and got off the bed, trying not to let the warmth of the quilt escape. He took out his sleepwear from the closet, not saying a word and headed to the bathroom for a shower.
He washed from head to toe, striving to wash away all possible germs and viruses on his body. Upon his return, he got back into bed, took her into his arms and shot her a glance as if telling her: I’ve taken a shower, so I’m free of viruses now!
Ye Xingguang pouted and said nothing. She was browsing her Weibo feed.
The people on Weibo were calling her a coward. They claimed that Ye Junqing didn’t really like her, but she had plunged herself into the delusion that he did. Her public exposure was imminent, and the suggestions to stop respecting the “Carp Girl” were also getting louder.
Ye Junqing saw the comments ridiculing and mocking her. His brows furrowed, realizing that the whole world seemed to be against him.
Fortunately, there were many netizens defending her, even cursing him online. Seeing those comments cursing him, Ye Junqing breathed a sigh of relief, encouraging them to keep going. This kind of public opinion battle seemed justified to him.
But Ye Xingguang couldn’t stand it. Whether they were calling her a coward or him a scumbag, it all seemed unbearably annoying to her.
She wanted to browse something cheerful, but today was Xia Yanyan’s birthday. Apart from posts insulting her and calling him a bad guy, all other posts were celebrating Xia Yanyan’s birthday.
Everyone was guessing whose name Xia Yanyan had put on the marriage proposal she’d submitted to the country. Ye Xingguang didn’t want to see this and tossed her phone aside, annoyed. She wondered who the unlucky guy was this time.
The matter would be announced at the President’s inauguration. Wasn’t that essentially stealing the limelight from the President on his inauguration day?
Xia Yanyan was a national treasure, and the President couldn’t refuse such a request. Ye Xingguang felt sympathetic for Ye Shiting.
Just then, her phone, which she had thrown to the side, rang. She picked it up and was surprised to see that it was Ye Shiting.
Unsure of what he wanted, Ye Xingguang answered the call, “Big Brother.” noveldrama
“Sister, are you feeling better?” Ye Shiting’s voice was deep and steady.
“Mm.” I feel alright now.
Ye Shiting expressed some concern for her and then explained his reason for calling, “I’m aware of what happened today. His contact with Yan Xi was my idea, not his. Are you willing to believe me?”
“Mm.” For some reason, no matter how many times Ye Junqing said it, she felt repulsed, but when her brother said it, she felt incredibly reassured.
Ye Shiting’s voice was even more comforting than Ye Junqing’s, “Then, rest well. I’ll send an invitation for the inauguration banquet in a few days. I hope you, along with Uncle and Auntie, will attend the banquet. If Uncle can’t come because of his health, please send him my regards.”
After saying this, Ye Shiting added, “Dress nicely. If you don’t have a formal dress, ask Junqing to get one for you. Is Junqing taking care of you by your bedside?”
