Chapter 7 Sleeping with His Arms

Because she slept too much during the day, Li Ying suffered from insomnia at night and tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

Ye Jingchi was reading and studying under the lamp. When he heard the noise, he turned around and looked at Li Ying.

Under the dim light, her skin looks particularly white, and her facial features appear more three-dimensional and delicate.

I really don't know how Lu Xingzhou could have the heart to leave such a beautiful wife at home and ignore her.

And what about the baby in her belly?

Ye Jingchi wanted to ask, but felt it was too abrupt and was afraid of making Li Ying unhappy.

Ye Jingchi closed the book, put down his pen, and got up to wash up.

After taking a shower, he walked to the bed rather awkwardly, lifted the quilt and went to sleep.

It was very hot in the capital in September, so there was no need to cover himself with a blanket. However, there was a woman sleeping next to him, and Ye Jingchi was afraid that he would not be able to control his body and some embarrassing scenes would occur, which would not look good.

"Don't worry, I will accompany you to my second sister-in-law's house tomorrow." Ye Jingchi spoke to comfort her.

Li Ying couldn't sleep because of this incident, but because she slept too much during the day.

"I'll sleep well."

She didn't know what to say, so she turned her back to Ye Jingchi and forced herself to close her eyes and go to sleep. Even if she couldn't sleep, she didn't want to toss and turn.

"When I went to file the report, I telegraphed my parents and told them about your current situation."

Ye Jingchi was afraid that if he told her at the beginning, she would disagree, so he made the decision on his own and would talk about it later.

Li Ying turned over and sat up, staring at Ye Jingchi. She had told him about the situation at home on the way, but she didn't expect that this man was so concerned that he even sent a telegram to his parents.

"Thanks!"

Ye Jingchi smiled softly: "We are husband and wife now, so don't say thank you or not in the future."

Li Ying lay down, "Ye Jingchi, can I hold your arm?"

Ye Jingchi offered her his arm: "Okay!"

Li Ying raised her hand and gently hugged his arm, moving closer. Her heart was pounding violently. The man's strong and powerful arm that night suddenly appeared in her mind. She reflexively let go of Ye Jingchi's arm, turned over, and Li Ying pressed her chest hard.

"No, I can't fall asleep if I hold your arm. You go to sleep."

When she held Ye Jingchi's arm, she would think of that terrible night.

In the morning, Li Ying opened her eyes in a daze. She didn't know how long she had slept, but she slept very soundly afterwards.

Ye Jingchi is no longer around. He must have gotten up early to exercise.

Li Ying tidied herself up casually, washed up, and then went to the restaurant in the main hall to eat.

Hua stood up gently: "How was it, did you sleep well last night?"

She knew that some people would not sleep well on the first day in a new environment.

"It's okay. I slept well in the second half of the night."

What does it mean to sleep well in the second half of the night?!

Hua Qingqing misunderstood what she meant and couldn't help but pursed her lips and chuckled: "You are pregnant, Jing Chi shouldn't take it easy."

Li Ying realized that her second sister-in-law had misunderstood her meaning, and it was difficult to explain, so she just picked up the bowl and chopsticks to hide her embarrassment.

Ye Jingchi and Ye Zhonghong sat down.

"Second brother is not at home these days?"

"Well, I went to Shanghai for a meeting. I've been gone for several days."

Ye Zhonghong glanced at Li Ying and asked unhappily, "Third sister-in-law, are you pregnant?"

Li Ying turned her head to look at Ye Zhonghong and could see that she didn't like her. Even so, Li Ying would not bow and scrape to please anyone.

"Well, I'm pregnant, so you have to say more nice things. That way I'll be in a good mood and the baby will be healthy!"

Ye Zhonghong curled her lips: "How long have you been pregnant?"

"Three months." Li Ying replied.

Ye Jingchi's hand holding the bowl paused again.

Three months, that means she was conceived in June.

Could it be that she...

Ye Jingchi looked at Li Ying's appearance and felt something strange in his heart.

It seems that he can't sit idly by and watch the incident in June. He must send someone to investigate.

Seeing the infatuated expression on his third brother's face, Ye Zhonghong was so angry that he didn't want to eat anymore. He dropped his bowl and chopsticks and left angrily.

"This girl is becoming more and more outrageous!" Ye Jingchi frowned.

After dinner, Ye Jingchi drove his second sister-in-law's car and took the two of them to Hua's house.

The Hua family is a prominent family in the imperial capital, and they have maintained their power even in the most turbulent years.

However, the Hua family has very strict family rules and does not allow family members to take low-class occupations. Hua Qingqing chose to be an actor and was directly expelled from the Hua family. She was not allowed to use her original name.

The name Hua Qingqing was given by Ye Jingchi's second brother.

When we arrived at the gate of the Hua family, it was also a very old building.

The door is made of iron and is carved, which is both grand and simple.

The car stopped and Hua gently clenched the bag in her hand, feeling a little hesitant.

Li Ying was puzzled, and Ye Jingchi encouraged her: "Second sister-in-law, you came back to save your brother. Your family shouldn't kick us out."

Hua sighed softly, "It's been five years. I wonder if their resentment towards me has diminished."

Since I have decided to come back to treat my brother's illness, I can't be too timid. Hua Qingqing cheered herself up and opened the car door.

Li Ying and Ye Jingchi also got out of the car.

Ye Jingchi reached out and held Li Ying's hand, moving closer: "Second sister-in-law is having some unpleasantness with her family. No matter what happens later, don't say anything, just watch."

Li Ying nodded. She didn't like to meddle in other people's business. She came to the Hua family because Hua Qingqing was Ye Jingchi's second sister-in-law and they were family.

The door opened and several people walked out. The one walking in front was an old lady over 70 years old, followed by a middle-aged couple.

"Jun'er, will the disciple of Master Qian you mentioned really come today?" The old lady's face was full of anticipation.

"Mom, he will definitely come! This disciple of Master Qian is my nephew's comrade-in-arms, and he agreed to come today."

"Mom, Dad, Grandma."

Hua took a light step forward and knelt on her knees.

Seeing Hua Qingqing, the old lady looked disgusted and poked the crutch in her hand: "You are so blind! Today is such a beautiful day, and you have the turn to come here to get in my way!"

"Who told you to come here! Get out of here now!" Hua's father shouted angrily.

"Grandma, Mom and Dad, my uncle's new wife is a folk expert. I brought her here to see Chen Yue."

"A folk expert?" Grandma Hua snorted coldly, "You really went to great lengths! Your cousin has hired Master Qian's apprentice, so he doesn't need this folk expert you hired!"

As he was speaking, another car stopped.

These days, only families like the Hua family can afford such a luxurious car.

The car door opened, and a young man got out first, followed by Lu Xingzhou, whom Li Ying was familiar with, and Rong Ning.

Could it be that Rong Ning is Mr. Qian’s apprentice?

Although Li Ying had not contacted her master for a long time, she knew her master very well and knew that he would never accept a disciple like Ning.

He can even tell such a lie, I really don’t know what else Rong Ning dare not do.

"Li Ying, why are you here?"

When he saw Li Ying, the muscles on Lu Xingzhou's face trembled, especially when he saw Ye Jingchi holding Li Ying's little hand.

What's with the three years of being together? Didn't he secretly have an affair with someone else so early on?
