Chapter 160: A lot has changed

After treating the wound, Yan Ye’s first thing was to return to the ward.

As he stepped in, he saw the girl sitting obediently on the stool, and his expression softened.

"Don't get me wrong, I stayed here just to make things clear." Before anyone came closer, Xu Xiaoyue emphasized.

She looked timidly at the man's chest, and her hands unconsciously pinched the hem of his clothes.

Seeing that she was still afraid of him, Yan Ye's eyes darkened and he simply stood there motionless.

"Okay, go ahead."

He seemed to be very easy to talk to, waiting for the girl to speak first, but in fact he had secretly locked the door.

Xu Xiaoyue pursed her lips and said, "Last time, I thought we had made it very clear."

"We are not suitable for each other. And the money you spent on me, I have saved nearly a thousand dollars in the past three months."

"It's not much, but I can give you some of it first."

She spoke to herself, not daring to look up to meet the man's gaze.

Before Yan Ye could answer, the girl continued, "I heard from Wang Jianhua that you left some money for me."

“I didn’t take the money.”

"Or you can calculate how much I have to pay you back."

Xu Xiaoyue said all the words that were brewing in her heart in one breath. She bit her lower lip and lowered her head to look at her toes.

It was good to have it explained clearly, and the burden on her heart was relieved a lot.

A silent atmosphere spread in the room, and no one spoke.

Yan Ye's face was gloomy as if a storm was about to come. He half-closed his eyes and thought that he was too gentle to Wang Jianhua just now.

Let him help take care of others, that's how we take care of him.

Not only has she lost weight, but she's also trying to be self-reliant and is trying to get rid of him.

Wang Jianhua, who was standing at the door in fear, sneezed and his eyelids twitched.

After Xu Xiaoyue finished speaking, she saw that the man still didn't speak for a long time. Thinking that he didn't hear clearly, she repeated it again in a low voice.

"I don't have the money with me right now. If you need it urgently, I'll go back and get it for you."

She said this readily, as if a thousand dollars was nothing.

That’s nearly a thousand bucks!

Xu Xiaoyue's heart was bleeding. She had worked so hard for several late nights to draw the draft and had finally earned a thousand yuan.

I originally wanted to use part of the money to rent a house and move out of Yan's house.

She hung her head, looking like she had been bullied.

Yan Ye came back to his senses and turned his gaze to the girl's face. There was darkness under her eyes and she looked like she hadn't had a good rest for several days.

Finally, he spoke.

"I'm sorry for what I said last time."

The man took a few steps forward. Instead of standing, he bent down and squatted beside the girl.

"There is no breakup, and you don't have to pay back the money."

"I was too impatient."

After going through a near-death experience, he no longer insists on forcing people to get married.

As long as the person is still by his side, it doesn’t matter whether he has a status or not.

She was the one who provoked him first. Unless he was dead, she would never be able to escape from him.

Xu Xiaoyue retracted her hand and blinked her almond-shaped eyes. She always felt that the man had changed a lot after returning this time.

On the surface, he is not as overbearing as before, but the possessiveness in his bones still exists.

Thinking back to just now, so much blood had flowed from the man's chest, but his pair of black eyes were still staring at him, as if he was looking at some prey.

Just like now, Yan Ye seemed to be apologizing to her, but his big hand was holding her hand tightly, making it impossible for her to pull her hand away even if she wanted to.

"You, you let go first."

She struggled a little, but the man held her tighter.

"Did you hear what I said?" The girl glared at the man, her eyes full of dissatisfaction.

It's a pity that her tone wasn't fierce. Instead, it sounded like she was acting coquettishly. It was soft and had no deterrent effect at all.

"No."

"You are playing rogue, aren't you?"

The two were arguing here, and outside the door, Liu Ye raised her hand and knocked on the door while holding some fruit.

The willow leaf knocked a few times, and then there was a "bang" inside the house, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground.

She paused, took a step back and looked at the room number.

"121, Comrade Xiao Wang is talking about this room, right?"

Yan Shuli nodded aside, looking a little absent-minded.

Liu Ye thought Yan Ye didn't hear her, so she put her hand on the door handle and pushed it down, but it didn't open.

It was obvious that the door was locked from the inside.

Just as she opened her mouth and was about to call out to Wang Jianhua who was hiding behind her, there was a "crunch".

Yan Ye stood in front and met the gaze of the three people at the door, "Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

Liu Ye opened her mouth and was about to answer, but Yan Shuli next to her spoke first.

"Uncle, are you okay? My dad said you were hit by two stray bullets."

One cannot ask too much about what happens in the army, so Yan Jianguo only told what he could.

Yan Ye nodded, without any sign of moving.

"He was hit by two stray bullets, but he's out of danger now."

He said it lightly, and apart from his slightly pale face, he didn't look injured at all.

"The hospital didn't know when you could be discharged. I asked Aunt Wang to make some chicken soup for you so that you can have a good rest."

Liu Ye lifted the thermal box in her hand, said a few words of concern, and prepared to walk in.

Yan Ye stood at the door, his dark eyes flashed, and he turned sideways to let the two in.

When Liu Ye walked in, the first thing she saw was Xu Xiaoyue sitting on the stool next to her. The girl's hair was a little messy and her lips were slightly red and swollen.

As if frightened by her, the girl stood up from the stool quickly, and was a little unsteady because she stood up too quickly.

"Liu, Aunt Liu."

She called out someone in a low voice, and looked at Yan Ye who was at the end, her cheeks flushed.

"Why are you here?"

There was no hidden meaning in Liu Ye's question, but his tone was so calm that it sounded like a question.

Yan Ye walked quickly to the front and blocked Xu Xiaoyue behind him.

He explained calmly, "I asked her to come over."

Not only Liu Ye looked at Xu Xiaoyue, but even Yan Shuli behind her couldn't help but secretly look at the girl.

The last time I saw the girl was two months ago.

The two men's eyes fell on her at the same time. Xu Xiaoyue tapped the ground and took the initiative to walk out from behind the man.

"Aunt Liu, I just got here too."

Her original intention was to distance herself from the man, but she forgot that Liu Ye, as an experienced person, could guess what was going on just by looking at her swollen lips.

Then she thought about the sound she had just heard when she knocked on the door.

That was the sound of something heavy falling.

She nodded, seeing through the situation but not saying anything, and just put the thermal box in her hand on the table.

"Auntie Wang made it for the whole morning. Drink it while it's hot."

"And apples and oranges. I bought them all early in the morning."

Xu Xiaoyue glanced at the apples in the bag and said, "Aunt Liu, I'll go wash the apples. You two can chat slowly."

As she spoke, she quickly took out two round red apples and ran out of the house like a kitten with its fur standing on end.

A smile flashed across Yan Ye's eyes, and he stopped stopping people.

Yan Shuli stayed in the room for a while. He looked at the clock hanging on the wall and found that twenty minutes had passed since Xu Xiaoyue went to wash the fruit.

He stood up and said, "I'm going to go out and get some fresh air."
