Xie Yong

jealous

The atmosphere between Xie Yong and Ye Fenglin was really bad.

Xie Yong's arrogant and willful words, in particular, made Ye Fenglin's face darken completely.

A few seconds later, Ye Fenglin laughed instead of getting angry, "Brother Yong, you're really interesting. Was this born for you?"

Ye Fenglin simply stood up from the sofa. He and Xie Yong were about the same height, and when they stood together, they were just a handsome couple that was pleasing to the eye. Only now did I feel a sense of competition between the two of them being evenly matched.

"Did I say something wrong?" Xie Yong raised an eyebrow. Although his tone was not provocative, his arrogant demeanor almost made Ye Fenglin want to punch him in the face, but he managed to hold back with the last bit of his rationality.

"..." I watched the two of them arguing back and forth, not knowing what to say. I subconsciously looked down at my phone. I only had one person I could rely on, and only she could completely solve the current trouble... My eyes were glazed over. Two aggressive men, I had no idea what to do and was at a loss.

I sent a message to Lin Zhi'en. I told her that Ye Fenglin and Xie Yong were about to fight in the hospital room, the situation was terrible, and I didn't know what to do.

I have a habit of relying on others. At first, it was Jiang Mingzhuo, then it was Yu Xu, and now it has become Lin Zhien.

When I'm anxious, when I'm at a loss, when I encounter trouble... I've gotten used to relying on stronger and more capable people. My head is always buzzing, I can't do anything right, the more I think about it, the more anxious I get, my mind is a mess.

Lin Zhi'en never asked me what happened; she would just calmly and gently soothe my emotions.

"Okay, I'll go right away," Lin Zhi'en agreed as always.

Not long after the message was delivered, footsteps came from the corridor outside the door. I turned around and sure enough, Lin Zhi'en pushed the door open and came in. I quickly went to greet her.

I thought I'd have to wait a long time, but she looked like she'd run there. Her face was slightly sweaty, and she was wearing a V-neck grey knit dress and a coat; she was slender and elegant.

In the ward, the tension between Xie Yong and Ye Fenglin showed no signs of abating; on the contrary, it intensified.

"Ye Zi, you can save your underhanded tricks." Xie Yong's voice was indifferent and calm, as if he were giving a research report in a university domed classroom, his tone unbelievably composed.

Ye Fenglin laughed out loud, "Brother Yong, don't be jealous. You can do it too, but do you dare? You probably don't even know what position is the most comfortable."

The two of them were very sharp-tongued, and although their words were hard to understand, I knew they wouldn't make up easily today.

I grabbed Lin Zhi'en's hand, my eyes showing a rare look of panic and helplessness, and I even let out a soft sob. The more anxious I became, the less I could speak, and I could only gesture to tell her that Ye Fenglin and Xie Yong had been arguing for a while.

"Don't be afraid." Lin Zhi'en smiled and took my hand instead. In her eyes, I could even see my own eyes glistening with tears, wet and pitiful, full of fragile pleading.

"Ye Zi, Brother Xie Yong..." Lin Zhi'en hesitated before speaking.

She frowned slightly, looking at the two who were arguing back and forth. Lin Zhi'en's tone was excessively indifferent, "I'm not interested in why you two are arguing, but you scared Xiao Fu."

As soon as Lin Zhi'en finished speaking, both of their eyes turned to look at me.

I lowered my eyes and instinctively hid behind the girl, my eyelashes half-hidden. To avoid the men's burning and sharp gazes, I even focused my attention on the fingers Lin Zhi'en was holding.

Thanks to her ballet practice, Lin Zhi'en, though slender, exudes a healthy and powerful aura, which made me feel dependent on her again in this helpless situation.

“It’s really rude to do that in front of a girl,” Lin Zhi’en paused. “Ye Zi, you’re still the same as I said, you’ll never grow up. Xie Yong, you’re also very disappointing. You’re not usually such an impulsive person. You knew Ye Zi was injured and stayed in the hospital for a long time, and was in a bad mood, yet you still wanted to upset him.”

Her words were clear and logical, her emotions were calm, and her pronunciation was very clear.

She was the epitome of the proper demeanor expected of a wealthy heiress.

Ironically, instead of showing any shame at being scolded by the girl they liked, the two men exchanged glances as if they had received some kind of signal. Ye Fenglin said, "Zhi'en, this has nothing to do with you."

This was the first time Ye Fenglin had ever spoken to Lin Zhien in such an unpredictable tone.

His handsome features remained somber, his eyes narrowed dangerously, and the smile on his thin lips had vanished. Xie Yong, standing beside him, also wore a cold smile, devoid of emotion.

Lin Zhi'en slightly curled the corners of her lips, her expression excessively cold and not gentle at all; on the contrary, it carried a hint of mockery.

"Xiao Fu, I'll take you home." She turned to the side, her fragrant hair slipping down her shoulder. I was stunned for a moment, and nodded to her gentle face.

Leaving that suffocating hospital room, I felt my steps were even lighter. It wasn't until we reached the parking lot that Lin Zhi'en smiled and said gently, "Can you let go of me now? I can't get my car keys."

Ah! I looked down and realized I was holding her tightly. I quickly let go, my face as red as a ripe tomato. I could even feel myself radiating heat, my whole body flushed red from head to toe.

Lin Zhi'en smiled again. The car in front of her wasn't an extremely flashy sports car, but rather an exceptionally low-key Audi A6, quite ordinary compared to her status. It was pure white and looked very new, probably a brand new car.

I got into the passenger seat, and Lin Zhi'en turned on the navigation. "Do you live in the apartment complex in the Lower East Side?"

I nodded, and she fell silent. @Unlimited great articles, all at Literary City

In fact, Lim Ji-eun doesn't like to talk. She is very quiet and always maintains an elegant demeanor, like a gentle but dazzling moon, with an unattainable beauty.

I just held my bag and silently watched the street scenes on both sides. Compared to the East District where Lin Zhi'en lived, the atmosphere of the Lower East Side was naturally more simple, with houses and apartments that couldn't compare to the cultural and artistic atmosphere.

Fortunately, it's located near the main campus of Imperial University, and there are chain drugstores, supermarkets, shopping malls, and other amenities nearby. The safety environment is also quite good. Although the rent is a bit high, it's the best apartment that Yu Xu and I could choose.

Lin Zhi'en's car stopped on the street next to the apartment.

I unbuckled my seatbelt, bowed slightly to thank her, but the car door was still locked.

"?" I looked at her. The light outside the car was dim, and her beautiful face was reflected in the car window.

Lin Zhi'en asked me softly, "Is your car fixed?"

I quickly shook my head. For some reason, I bit my lip and, without being nervous, softly said to Lin Zhi'en, "There are too many people. It's a holiday."

Speaking haltingly, I felt even more inferior in the face of her composure.

Lin Zhi'en finally opened the car door.

I had just gotten out of the car when, in the blink of an eye, she got out with me. I thought she wanted to go home for a hot drink, but she handed me the car key with the crystal bear charm attached, saying, "Why don't you drive this car for now? It's not an expensive car, is it?"

"No!" I cried out in a weak voice, waving my hands frantically in refusal.

"Don't reject me. Actually, the car is the one I used to drive in high school. I just had it maintained and repaired. And the clothes and jewelry in the car aren't really suitable for me." Lin Zhi'en smiled and gently tucked my hair behind my ear, just like the last time we met. "Xiao Fu, you might not know this, but when I arrived at the hospital just now, I saw you sitting on the sofa, staring blankly with your exquisite face, like a doll in a shop window."

She praised me frankly and said slowly, "My relationship with my older brother isn't very close. When I was little, I wished I had a younger sister. You give me the feeling of having a younger sister. I want to be nice to you, take care of you, and show you concern."

Lin Zhi'en's sincerity left me speechless.

I couldn't refuse, so I nodded, but I told her that I would return the car to her once it was repaired.

She smiled and agreed.

Just as I was about to ask her how she was going to get home, I noticed that a discreet Lincoln was already parked nearby. The driver and bodyguard had been sitting inside for a long time. When they saw Lin Zhi'en walking towards them, the driver came out and opened the car door in advance.

Lin Zhi'en nodded slightly and sat down. All that remained for me was her slender figure, with snow-white skin and black hair, exuding nobility and elegance.

Only after her car disappeared at the end of the night street did I reluctantly look at the Audi beside me. I drove it to the underground parking lot of the apartment building, opened the trunk, and was stunned by the sight of it overflowing with shopping bags full of various luxury brand logos.

It took me a long time to get them home.

Harry Winston diamond earrings and necklaces, Dior light gold monogram handbags, Valentino diamond headbands and hair clips, Prada New Year limited edition furry handbags, Cartier bright red watches, Chanel No. 5 perfume gift sets... I was overwhelmed by the variety of luxury brands.

This isn't something Lin Zhi'en didn't want; it's a brand new product that was only released recently for Christmas and New Year!

I stared blankly at the luxury items on the floor.

Never mind, I was afraid I'd refuse, so Lin Zhi'en turned around and brought me a new car, along with many other gifts that I couldn't afford. In the end, I still thanked her.

She must be asleep; she didn't reply to me.

I haven't been back to the apartment in a long time. I left it in the landlord's care, and the remaining flowers and plants are blooming beautifully and lushly, completely unaffected by the cold winter outside. I even subconsciously looked out the window at the opposite side.

The dark windows there were replaced by light-colored lotus leaf curtains, giving off a warm and cozy feeling.

I held the milk glass and walked to the window. I stared at it intently. The light was on, but it seemed like there was no one there. It was already past eleven o'clock at night, long past when children should be asleep, yet the light was still burning tirelessly, which was somewhat eerie.

That unease, which I had been suppressing deep inside, seemed to suddenly burst forth again at this moment.

I told myself that maybe the child was just too excited, and her parents were patiently comforting her... I couldn't let my mind wander any further. I abruptly drew the curtains, lit a soothing aromatherapy candle, changed into a light slip dress, and sat on the edge of the bed, trying to relax my tense mind.

A little while later, I heard my phone ring in the living room, so I quickly went over to it.

"...It's me, Xie Yong."

My heart skipped a beat; I had absolutely no idea how Xie Yong had found me. However, given his background, getting my contact information and address would have been a piece of cake for him.

"I'm right downstairs from your place, can I come up for a bit?" His tone was filled with an air of unwavering confidence and arrogance.
