Chapter 58 She Can Only Stay By His Side

Yan Yu had known Xie Li since childhood and believed that he knew him quite well. Although there might have been some misunderstandings before, he thought that once he calmed down, he would find that Xie Li was still the same person he remembered.

He had no motive whatsoever to harm the Ashes...

So what happened in the hospital earlier might just have been an accident. When Shen Jin wakes up, he might know the truth.

Xie Li, who was "comforting" Shen Jin, heard footsteps and glanced at the door. Then he smiled, his eyes curving like crescent moons, and said gently, "A Yu, you're back."

His tone and manner made it seem as if he were another master of the house, which made the bodyguards and servants around him realize that this person was not to be trifled with.

After all, who knows, one day he might really become the rightful master of this house.

"Hmm." Yan Yu nodded, striding over with his long, straight legs from the gate. He glanced at Chen Jin, whose eyes were almost swollen from crying, and then at the respectful bodyguards. He waved his hand and said, "You may leave."

The bodyguards replied in unison, "Yes, Mr. Yan."

After saying this, the group left the hall and dutifully waited outside the door, ready to respond to any calls Yan Yu might make.

After the bodyguards surrounding Shen Jin left, Shen Jin, who was crying his eyes out, finally relaxed a little and quietly breathed a sigh of relief. However, when he saw Yan Yu walking over, he instinctively felt scared again.

He felt this person was unreasonable and a big bad guy, and that it was too much to have him brought here.

So, with a hint of lingering fear, he watched Yan Yu walk over step by step, and involuntarily took a few steps back behind Xie Li, hiding behind him as if that would make him safe, while silently peeking at Yan Yu.

Looking at the person hiding behind Xie Li, cautiously peeking at him, Yan Yu felt a little helpless. He let out a soft sigh, but at the same time, he found it a bit amusing and raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing?"

Shen Jin was unhappy when she heard his voice, so she silently hid her head behind Xie Li, tugging at his clothes, and muttered, "Bad guy... He kidnapped me, I don't want to see him, I don't want to see him..."

Xie Li narrowed his eyes almost imperceptibly, lowered his gaze slightly to look at Shen Jin's hand gripping his clothes, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Damn it, he really liked this outfit, and this idiot was holding it with his tear-stained hand...

Xie Li was inwardly turbulent, but on the surface she still managed a forced smile, looking at Yan Yu with some helplessness: "Look at you, what have you done? You scared him like this? He hasn't even recovered yet, how can he withstand such a fright?"

Yan Yu was taken aback, then looked at Shen Jin hiding behind Xie Li and smiled helplessly, "Why are you hiding? I won't hurt you. I just brought you back to take care of you so that you can recover sooner."

Shen Jin shook her head, her eyes red from crying, staring at his smiling face, and said earnestly and stubbornly, "I don't believe you!"

Anyway, anyone who yelled at him and scared him to tears is a big bad guy! And this big bad guy went even further, taking him home!

Yan Yu looked at him, who was acting like a child, and didn't know what to say. He could only shake his head helplessly and said with a gentle smile, "You've been good. Hiding in front of Ali won't help. Come here, I'll take you to your room, okay? It's already prepared."

Xie Li, standing between the two, stiffened, and the forced smile on his face cracked. Yan Yu was already trying to appease someone else right in front of him, but to actually have a room prepared for Shen Jin in advance…

Damn the ashes...

Xie Li suppressed the urge to grind his teeth to dust, bit his lower lip to calm himself down, then smiled and patted Shen Jin's hand that was gripping his clothes, saying to Yan Yu, "Ah Yu, are you planning to let Shen Jin stay here for a long time? That's good, he'll have company."

Yan Yu couldn't help but smile. Before coming, he had indeed thought that Xie Li might be unhappy, since he had brought back an extra person. He was even wondering if he should explain to him. But now that he saw how understanding Xie Li was, he felt relieved.

“No matter what, it was an accident, and he got like this because of me. So let him stay here while he’s still recovering. We’ll take good care of him and have the doctor come to check on him regularly until he’s fully recovered.” Yan Yu stated his thoughts directly.

As for Kang Fuhou... even if Shen Jin still wanted to leave, he had that contract in his hand, the date of which was written before Shen Jin became mentally impaired, so it was still valid.

Furthermore, even if it's ineffective, given Shen Jin's lack of power and influence, she wouldn't dare to confront him directly and could only obediently stay by his side...

Thinking about it this way, Yan Yu felt relieved. He was used to being self-centered and wouldn't allow others to go against his decisions.

Yan Yu walked step by step to Shen Jin's side and said with a smile, "Listen to me, come here, don't bother Ali."

"Ah Li?" Shen Jin murmured the name, finding it somewhat familiar, and couldn't help but look up at Xie Li. "Are you called Ah Li?"

Xie Li was taken aback, his face almost stiffening with a smile, and said gently, "Um...yes, what's wrong?"

Xie Li clenched his fists. Although he knew that Shen Jin was already mentally impaired and could not possibly remember what had happened before, he still couldn't help but be moved by some of Shen Jin's actions. He was more afraid of the worst-case scenario than the most likely outcome.

For Shen Jin now, compared to Yan Yu's domineering rudeness, he naturally preferred someone like Xie Li who let him smile. He immediately grinned and said, "Your name is very nice!"

"Thank you..." Xie Li said with a smile, "Your name is also very interesting."

The compliment made Shen Jin's eyes light up, and he smiled excitedly, "Really! Thank you!"

Xie Li gritted his teeth, his hands itching with desire, wishing he could tear that innocent little face apart. Damn it! The more he looked at it, the more disgusted he felt! The more he looked, the more he wanted to kill it!

How dare they take what belonged to him and now they're showing him such a bright smile, it's like they're provoking him. Xie Li was so angry that he could hardly breathe.

If Yan Yu and the others hadn't been there, he probably would have slapped him across the face!

"Shen Jin is quite cute like this," Xie Li forced a smile despite the deep pain his smile caused Xie Li to look at him, offering a reluctant compliment. "But will he stay like this forever? How long will it take for him to get better?"

Yan Yu frowned: "That's uncertain. I'll have the doctor come and examine him once he's settled down and settled here."

"I see." Xie Li frowned with some distress, looked at Shen Jin beside her with concern, and sighed softly, "I hope he can recover soon. It's really heartbreaking to see him like this."

Shen Jin was completely confused by what they were saying. He looked at Xie Li and then at Yan Yu, blinked innocently, and tilted his head: "I'm fine!"

"Yes, you're alright." Yan Yu knew he wouldn't understand anything he said now, so he could only nod in agreement. Then, taking advantage of the moment when the man was lost in thought, he came to his side, grabbed his wrist, and said, "Come on, let's go back to your room and take a look."

After a period of playful fighting, Shen Jin seemed to have gradually calmed down. At least she stopped crying and making a fuss, and she wasn't as scared anymore. However, thinking of Bai Yujin, she couldn't help but glance outside again: "Where's Da Bai Bai?"

Yan Yu frowned slightly: "He's very busy, so don't bother him for now."

Even though Bai Yujin was very worried about Shen Jin, and the two may have had some past relationship, he had done so much for Shen Jin that he had done his best, and he shouldn't care about so much now.

If he insists on interfering, Yan Yu will naturally not be afraid of him, it's just a bit troublesome.

"Is that so?" Shen Jin tilted his head. Because Yan Yu had grabbed him and scolded him before, he trusted Xie Li, who was gentle to him, more than Yan Yu. He looked at Xie Li and asked, "A-Li, is it true?"

Xie Li was burning with intense jealousy, so he could only try his best to calm himself down and think about how to deal with Shen Jin properly...

She was startled by his sudden address and quickly smiled apologetically, "Yes, that's right, A-Yu wouldn't lie to you."

"I see..." Shen Jin withdrew his gaze, frowned, thought for a moment, then rubbed his cheeks and reluctantly looked at Yan Yu, "Alright, then I'll trust you for a little while..."

Yan Yu was amused by his words, his sword-like eyebrows raised, his eyes filled with laughter, and he teased, "Just believe it for a little while?"

Shen Jin stared at his smiling face for a while, feeling a little strange. When this person was fierce to him, he felt very scared, but when this person was not fierce to him, and even smiled at him in a particularly beautiful way... he was a little afraid to look him in the eye.

My heart was pounding uncontrollably, and it was making me feel uncomfortable.

So when Yan Yu smiled and took his hand, intending to lead him upstairs, he temporarily lost his temper and didn't know what he was doing, so he just let him lead him upstairs.

"Watch out, what are you looking at?" Yan Yu said helplessly as he watched him staring blankly ahead, not even lifting his feet, and slowly walking forward. "There are steps here, you're going to fall."

"Huh?" Shen Jin was still stunned by the strange heartbeat. After being reminded, he blinked innocently and nodded absently, "Oh..."

Seeing that he was absent-minded, Yan Yu shook his head, reached out and put his arm around his slender waist, lifted him up by the knees, and picked him up from the ground. He smiled helplessly and said, "Never mind, I'll carry you."

The sudden lightness of his body, being lifted up like this, startled Shen Jin. Afraid of falling, he quickly hugged Yan Yu's neck and let out a soft sigh: "That was close..."

Yan Yu smiled and carried him upstairs step by step.

Behind them, Xie Li's fingernails dug into his flesh, yet he felt no pain whatsoever. His eyes turned bloodshot with intense jealousy and rage, and he bit his lip until it bled slightly…
