Xi Quan caught up with Ye Qing: "You need to take your foot to the hospital to get it checked out."
Ye Qing, who had been pulled back by Xi Quan, stopped and looked at Xi Quan expressionlessly: "It's best if you don't cause trouble."
"I just..." Xi Quan wanted to explain, but it was indeed because of him that Ye Qing twisted her ankle, and he realized that no amount of explanation would help. "I'm sorry."
While it can't be said that Xi Quan's apology surprised Ye Qing, she was indeed less angry upon hearing it, though still furious: "Liang Youjie and I are just friends. At the press conference a while ago, I myself admitted that I was married. How could Liang Youjie be so inconsiderate! He's your friend too, isn't he? How can you not trust your friends?"
Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, Xi Quan sneered, "Heh."
Ye Qing was still angry, and when she heard Xi Quan's cold snort, she was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean by being sarcastic? Since you have such a big problem with me, I'll say it again, let's part ways amicably."
"I wasn't targeting you." Xi Quan watched Ye Qing limp away after she finished speaking, and quickly caught up with her: "You need to get your foot checked out. Look at you, you can barely walk now."
Ye Qing nudged Xi Quan with her elbow, shoving him aside to stop him from helping her. Everyone has a temper sometimes. "Go pick up the child first."
"I'm not planning to bring the child back today." Xi Quan finally said what he had been holding back: "Let's go see a doctor first."
Already angry, Ye Qing was further enraged by Xi Quan's words. Whether it was premeditated or a spur-of-the-moment decision, she was furious and glared at Xi Quan again.
Seeing Ye Qing limping forward recklessly, Xi Quan sighed, put his hands on his hips, and chased after her without saying a word. He then picked her up and carried her into the car.
Ye Qing, who was being picked up, pounded on Xi Quan, begging him to let go, but Xi Quan clearly wouldn't listen.
Ye Qing was really angry, but since she had already been carried into the car, she wouldn't be childish enough to get out again, because her ankle was really hurting.
But if Ye Qing didn't say something, she felt too aggrieved: "Xi Quan, although we are still husband and wife, I also have the freedom to make friends, right? Even if the friend is a man, there is nothing to criticize. As long as I don't do anything to betray the marriage, even if our marriage is already dead in name only."
These words were like a dagger to Xi Quan's heart, and he couldn't refute them. However, Xi Quan couldn't help but explain himself: "I didn't say you can't make friends. You and Liu Yuliang... I didn't say anything, but Liang Youjie..."
When asked about Leung Yau-kit, Hsi Quan hesitated, and although he didn't say what he wanted to say, it was clear that he had a problem with Leung Yau-kit.
Ye Qing didn't pay attention to Xi Quan's attitude the first time he showed it, but now that Xi Quan has the same attitude again, although Ye Qing still feels that Xi Quan is being a bit unreasonable, she still can't help but ask the question in her heart: "Why do you have such a big problem with Liang Youjie? Weren't you two on good terms before?"
"You said it yourself, it was in the past." Xi Quan's tone was indifferent, but you could tell from his tone that he really had a lot of dissatisfaction with Liang Youjie.
Xi Quan's words made Ye Qing temporarily put aside her anger towards him. She said, "Perhaps there have been many conflicts between the two of you over the years, but he helped me a lot when we were abroad. So I won't cut ties with him forever just because you have a grudge against him."
Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, Xi Quan slowly turned to look at Ye Qing, as if he had many things to say to her, but he swallowed them all and said nothing.
However, his hesitation was tantamount to telling Ye Qing that there were many things Ye Qing did not know.
The more he remained silent, the more curious Ye Qing became. However, it was clear that asking now would not yield any answers, so Ye Qing also fell silent and turned to look out the window.
I went to the hospital, and after the doctor examined me, he said it wasn't anything serious, just a sprain, and prescribed some topical medication.
Although Xi Quan hadn't planned to bring the two children back from their grandparents' house today, the situation had changed, and Xi Quan felt he should explain to Ye Qing: "Let the children stay with their grandparents today. If they see that you twisted your ankle, they'll worry, even though they're young."
Ye Qing thought for a moment, then nodded slightly without refuting Xi Quan.
Seeing that Ye Qing agreed to his suggestion, Xi Quan drove back.
Watching Xi Quan walk back, Ye Qing thought for a moment and said, "Take me back to my apartment. I sprained my ankle, and the doctor told me not to wear high heels anymore. Almost all my shoes at the villa were high heels."
The suitcase that Ye Qing brought back from Xi Quan's villa was the one she had brought back. After so many years abroad, she hadn't packed everything, so she shipped the rest. After arriving in Nancheng, she put it all in the apartment that was being demolished near the knitting factory.
Hearing Ye Qing's words, Xi Quan looked at her but didn't say anything. However, he didn't listen to Ye Qing and still headed towards the villa.
"Hey...you..." Ye Qing couldn't help but speak up when she saw that the road still led to the villa.
"Don't worry." Xi Quan only said three words, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with Ye Qing's opinion.
Ye Qing now understands Xi Quan better. She knows that once Xi Quan has made a decision, he won't care about other people's opinions.
So if Ye Qing insisted now, the two might argue. Ye Qing didn't want to continue arguing, so she acquiesced and went back to the villa.
After arriving home, Xi Quan carried Ye Qing directly from the car to the second-floor bedroom, where he put her down and then opened one of the bedroom doors: "You've lived here for quite a while now, but it seems you've never thought to see what's here, have you?"
Ye Qing pursed her lips, wanting to explain, but Xi Quan said again, "Because you've never considered this place as home, you don't want to know more. But this is your home. This is your walk-in closet, and your flat shoes are in there."
After saying that, Xi Quan turned to leave, but after taking a couple of steps, he remembered something and said, "There are pajamas in the dressing room. Choose the ones you like. If you have trouble walking, don't bother looking for your own suitcase."
After Xi Quan left, Ye Qing slowly moved to the dressing room, supporting herself against the wall.
Just as Xi Quan said, because he never considered this place as home, Ye Qing never thought to take a good look at what was inside the villa.
When the light in the walk-in closet was turned on, Ye Qing was completely stunned and somewhat incredulous when he saw what was inside.
Putting aside whether the clothes were the right size for her, the few outfits hanging in such a prominent position were enough to shock Ye Qing.
