Chapter 47 Unbearable. Yu Chaoxian's eyes narrowed for a moment, a cold indifference in them...
The last time in the bathroom, Yu Tang was completely unconscious. She lay on the man's shoulder, the shower water washing away the blood. Yu Chaoxian kissed Yu Tang's forehead, the corners of her eyes, and her lips, a series of delicate kisses that lingered for a long time before he withdrew.
He took out a clean bath towel and carefully dried Yu Tang, because her clothes were torn and unwearable, and she didn't want to be naked.
The clothes Mickey had just given him were still there. Yu Chaoxian put the shirt on her first, and casually wrapped a bath towel around himself.
Only when Yu Tang was placed on the bed did she finally feel secure enough to support her and prevent her from falling into the icy abyss. She wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, but still felt very cold, shivering with cold. The burning heat left by Yu Chaoxian still lingered on her skin, but her bones were chilled to the bone.
Yu Tang's head felt heavy, and an unnatural blush rose to her face. She didn't even feel the tears welling up. A heavy figure squeezed in behind her, and she struggled to turn over, wanting nothing more than to get away from everyone.
Just as she was about to fall off the bed, the man wrapped her in the blanket and pulled her back into his arms.
"Cold?" Yu Chaoxian kissed the back of her neck.
Yu Tang was wrapped tightly in the blanket, but Yu Chaoxian easily pulled it off from behind and forcefully invaded her space. After a whole night of intimate entanglement, the feeling of emptiness in his arms made Yu Chaoxian extremely uncomfortable, and it wasn't until he pulled her back into his arms that the emptiness was filled.
Half-asleep, Yu Tang was much more docile than when she was fully awake, and her attempts to push him away were more like playful teasing. Yu Chaoxian enjoyed her unconscious touch, his arms encircling her slender waist, his other hand stroking her hair gently, as if soothing a tantrum-throwing pet.
Yu Tang struggled in vain, wasting her energy, and felt extremely uncomfortable. Yet his presence and shadow seemed determined to completely envelop her, leaving her with nowhere to hide and nowhere to escape.
She trembled more and more violently, feeling like a broken clock that had already ushered in the morning, but she was stuck in the early hours of the morning.
Yu Chaoxian's lips gently touched her shoulder: "Does it still hurt?"
Yu Tang ignored him. Fine, he wasn't annoyed; she hadn't really paid him any attention all night anyway. He kissed away the tears at the corner of her eyes, and then he realized something was wrong. He touched Yu Tang's forehead, and the temperature under his palm was alarmingly high.
Yu Chaoxian suddenly threw off the covers and got out of bed.
The doctor rushed over. Yu Tang had a high fever of 39 degrees Celsius. When he saw the mess of used items on the floor, he immediately understood what had happened.
Therefore, the doctor didn't give Yu Chaoxian a friendly look. After glancing at the information in Yu Tang's medical record, his tone was clearly reprimanding: "You're being so reckless..."
Yu Chaoxian instinctively felt that the doctor's last half-sentence was meant to call him a beast.
The doctor, not daring to offend these people, especially since the man's bodyguards were carrying guns, swallowed the rest of his sentence.
After examining Yu Tang, I prescribed some medicine, both oral and topical.
The doctor instructed Yu Chaoxian, "I've already given her an antipyretic injection. Remember to give her her medication on time, make sure she drinks plenty of water and eats fruit, and keep her diet light. She should also avoid sexual intercourse for the next two weeks."
Yu Chaoxian wrote down everything with a stern face.
Chen Diao received a call from the Yu family in Hong Kong in the morning, saying that the Yu family ancestral hall had been struck by lightning the night before. After hanging up the phone, Chen Diao was unable to calm down for a long time. What outrageous thing had his eldest brother done last night that even the ancestral hall had been struck by lightning?
Did they really kill that aunt?
Chen Diao wasn't a gossipy person. He came early in the morning to deliver some unimportant company documents, just in case he missed any gossip about his boss.
Chen Diao, who was delivering documents, and Mickey, who was delivering clothes, stood at the door and both looked at Yu Chaoxian, who was coming out of Yu Tang's ward. The bright red scratches on the man's chin and neck were hard to ignore, and there were clear teeth marks crisscrossing his arms.
It's easy to imagine what a terrible night it must have been.
Chen Diao glanced at his boss smoking on the balcony, then grabbed Mickey, who had come to deliver clothes, and swallowed hard: "Don't tell anyone that the woman in the boss's room is... his aunt."
Mickey pursed his lips and didn't say anything, but Yu Tang's clothes were clearly visible in his hand.
Chen Diao truly couldn't understand it. Yu Bo was like this, and the eldest brother was like this too. There were so many women in the world, why did they have to touch the ones they shouldn't touch?
Putting aside the fact that the boss killed Clinton, the illegitimate son of the Maldivian president, to avenge Yu Tang, offending the Maldivian president and also making enemies with the Indian underworld, he has gotten himself into even more trouble yesterday because Yu Tang killed mercenaries.
Chen Diao couldn't understand it. He really couldn't understand it. His eldest brother could have any kind of woman he wanted, so why did he have to get involved with his own aunt?
Yu Tang could never have understood. She slept in the hospital for two days, and when she woke up, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. The discomfort in her body was too intense, constantly reminding her of what had happened that night.
She cried herself to sleep, and in her hazy state, she felt as if someone was between her legs. She immediately tensed her legs, which caught Yu Chaoxian's hand.
When he opened his eyes again, Yu Chaoxian was sitting on the edge of the bed.
Seeing that she was awake, the man raised an eyebrow: "Awake?"
Yu Chaoxian was only wearing a pair of trousers, and his shirt was on Yu Tang. The clothes obviously didn't fit, and the buttons weren't fastened properly. He stared at her, looking at her intently for a while.
"Is it because I picked that flower when we were little, or because your brother punished you by making you kneel in the ancestral hall, that you're taking revenge on me like this?" Yu Tang's voice was nasal from crying, and her hoarse voice revealed a hint of grievance and confusion.
She later learned that the bouquet of flowers was a keepsake left by Yu Chaoxian's mother. Looking back now, even if she said "it wasn't intentional" a thousand times, it was nothing but self-deception. Why did she touch the flowers in that vase? Why that particular flower of all? But now, no amount of regret could change anything. Yu Chaoxian was a complete madman; his methods of revenge were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Just as he tormented those others, he only wanted to torment her.
She even felt that it would be better for him to cut out his tongue than for their current chaotic relationship.
Yu Chaoxian remained silent. Yu Tang had pondered for two days and two nights, and this was the conclusion she had reached?
His silent gaze fell on her trembling, slender back. Just how stupid could a high school student's brain be? With this level of comprehension, she wanted to go to university.
Yu Chaoxian was too lazy to argue with her about this, and was about to offer her food when she continued talking.
“Even if you hate me, you can’t…you can’t do this to me, this is…” The word “□□” stuck in her throat, and she couldn’t say it. She just wiped away her tears haphazardly. “Besides, this kind of thing can only be done with love. I don’t understand why you want to take revenge on me in this way.”
"Love?" He sneered, his eyes cold and indifferent. "Love either exists or it doesn't exist; there's no such thing as reasoning or not understanding."
Yu Chaoxian didn't need her understanding; all he wanted was for Yu Tang to stay by his side forever.
As I always say, life is long, so just endure the torment slowly.
He was too lazy to argue with her anymore and said coldly, "Come and eat."
Yu Tang sat there stubbornly, looking cold and withered, tears falling into her rice, refusing to eat.
Now that her fever has subsided, she's starting to throw a tantrum, so Yu Chaoxian suppressed his impatience. Fine, this also shows that Yu Tang's spirits have indeed recovered well.
In the past, if he narrowed his eyes or gave a slight glare, Yu Tang was afraid he would still obey, but now...
He merely frowned slightly, and her neck stiffened as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Who would dare mess with her?
They even tried to threaten him by refusing to eat. Countless people have tried to threaten him, employing a variety of methods. Those people didn't realize they couldn't threaten him at all, so he dealt with them easily.
But when it came to Yu Tang... Yu Chaoxian's eyes narrowed for a moment, his gaze cold and indifferent: "You don't want to eat, huh? Fine, then take off your clothes."
Yu Tang glared at him abruptly. How could he say such shameless things so easily? Thinking of those things, she almost forgot that Yu Chaoxian was a madman who couldn't reason with anyone! She frantically clutched her clothes, only to belatedly realize that the oversized shirt she was wearing wasn't hers at all, but the man's.
The two remained locked in a stalemate, one holding the milk in mid-air, the other refusing to open his mouth.
Mickey arrived at just the right moment, carrying their clothes. Yu Tang felt awkward crying in front of strangers, so she deliberately wiped her tears with her shirt.
Actually, she was more afraid that Mickey would find out what had happened between her and Yu Chaoxian.
The attempt to cover it up was nothing short of a blatant attempt to conceal something obvious. The kiss marks on Yu Tang's body would perfectly match Yu Chaoxian's lips if they were to touch them; the bite marks on Yu Chaoxian's shoulder would perfectly align if Yu Tang opened her mouth and bit down. And especially the handprint on Yu Chaoxian's chin—a comparison with Yu Tang's hand would guarantee a flawless fit.
Yu Tang tried to cover up the marks on her body by wrapping herself tightly in the blanket, afraid that someone would see them.
Yu Chao glanced at Mickey, who didn't realize he had stayed a little too long. He only felt the temperature around him suddenly drop, but he still arranged the cut fruit and stewed soup in an orderly manner.
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Yu Chaoxian finally gave Mickey an impatient look.
Chen, standing at the door, glanced at Mickey and asked how the boss was feeling.
Mickey said, "Hurry up and go inside, I'll collect your body in a bit."
Chen Diao pulled his neck back in.
Chen Diao was purely curious and wanted to see how the matter between the boss and Yu Tang would end. He had no important business to attend to and had also learned the boss's secret. The boss was busy coaxing his aunt and didn't have time to pay attention to him. If the boss finished his business and asked him why he wasn't at the base... ugh, he was going to die.
The moment Mickey's footsteps faded at the end of the corridor, the air in the room froze. Yu Tang's forced smile vanished instantly, replaced by the cold indifference and resistance she displayed when facing Yu Chaoxian.
She smiles at strangers, but in front of him she gives him the cold shoulder. Yu Chaoxian pinched Yu Tang's face, then noticed the marks on her neck and irritably let go, instead tapping the food in front of her. "Eat properly. Your brother in the hospital bed has a medical team checking on him day and night. If you don't eat, I'll have someone remove his oxygen mask right now. You can choose for yourself."
It's like this again. It seems like they're giving you a choice, but in reality, they're pressuring you step by step, leaving you with no real choice. Yu Tang snatched the milk from his hand.
Yu Chaoxian knew exactly how to exploit her weaknesses. But after only two sips of milk, Yu Tang covered her mouth and rushed into the bathroom to gag; it was genuine physiological nausea.
Yu Chaoxian's face turned extremely ugly. "Yu Tang, are you deliberately going against me?"
"No, it's that you can't stop staring at me," Yu Tang said, her face downcast. "I can't eat when you're looking at me."
Okay, that's all for now. Anyway, he has to go back to the base, and he doesn't have much time.
Yu Chaoxian tapped her forehead and warned, "If you haven't finished eating by the time I get back, bury your brother right away, do you hear me?"
Yu Tang looked up in disbelief. Was he really his brother's biological child? How could he be so cruel to his own father?
"I heard you." Yu Tang dared not disobey him.
Yu Chaoxian stood up and stood in front of her.
Yu Tang immediately looked away, but still caught a glimpse of the firm lines between his waist and abdomen.
The man, looking down at her, could clearly see her stealing glances.
His shadow covered Yu Tang for a while. Yu Tang noticed that he was still shirtless, and she hesitated before asking, "You... want what I'm wearing?"
"Otherwise?" Yu Chaoxian leaned down, grabbed her chin, and kissed her pouting lips. "Do I want to go out naked?"
Yu Tang frowned immediately after being kissed, then turned and wiped her mouth with her shirt. Yu Chaoxian found it amusing; he had kissed her all over, how was she supposed to wipe herself?
Yu Chaoxian gently ruffled her hair, his tone softening: "Tangtang."
In order to get Yu Chaoxian to leave as soon as possible, Yu Tang did not want to waste time with him.
"I'll have Chen Diao follow you outside." The man's slender fingers slowly buttoned his clothes, which carried Yu Tang's scent—something he liked.
"I don't want Chen Diao." Yu Tang turned her face away, clearly showing her resistance. "I want Mickey."
Yu Chaoxian had already stood up, but then turned back, "You're unwilling to let Chen be transferred over, so what's the meaning of wanting Mickey?"
It was Chen Diao who handed Liang Jiaqi the knife when he was about to cut off his tongue. He doesn't give anyone a friendly look, but he's lenient with Mickey.
Yu Chaoxian's shirt wasn't fully buttoned, revealing glimpses of his cleavage, and the angle at which he leaned in seemed to press down on her. Yu Tang tried her best to avoid meeting his gaze, and was even more afraid of the slightest physical contact with him.
Even at such close range, she could still feel his warmth and the faint scent of his shower gel. This reminded her of the unbearable memories of last night, and she unconsciously gripped the sheets tighter.
However, Yu Chaoxian had no time to argue with her about these things right now. He wanted to feed her first. Anyway, he had plenty of time and could easily tame this disobedient pet.
In the end, Yu Chaoxian let Mickey stay, lest Yu Tang cause him more trouble.
As Yu Chaoxian was leaving, he cast two meaningful glances at Mickey, the gazes feeling as if they were actually scraping across Mickey's back, making Mickey's skin crawl.
Faced with Yu Chaoxian's pre-departure arrangements, Mickey asked uncertainly, "Does it mean reporting everything about Miss Yu? Including her eating, drinking, and sleeping?"
Yu Chaoxian disliked repeating himself. When did Mickey develop the same habit as Yu Tang? He couldn't hear something the first time and insisted that Yu Chaoxian repeat it.
He said impatiently, "All of that, otherwise how would I know whether I need to know or not?"
Mickey watched his boss's departing figure, thinking that his boss could be quite perverted at times. Of course, only when it came to Yu Tang. He thought carefully about his boss and Yu Tang's relationship. His boss always seemed to be looking forward to breaking the rules, and doing things he shouldn't do was more attractive to him. Perhaps Yu Tang had always had a natural attraction for his boss from the beginning.
Yu Chao returned to the base to deal with the matters that had been left unresolved over the past two days. The cargo ship to Fuzhou was ready, and General Apaiwang of the customs office had been quite efficient; at least the ten million in gold hadn't been given away in vain.
Yu Chao first checked the order for the "poison stinger" and confirmed that everything was correct. They could set off around the day after tomorrow.
Considering that Yu Tang will be taken along this time, the previous plan needs to be changed. Before, Yu Chaoxian only needed Mickey by his side, but with Yu Tang, it won't be enough. Yu Tang will need someone with her at all times.
He glanced at Chen Diao. Yu Tang didn't like Chen Diao. If he really brought him along, who knows what kind of trouble she would cause him once she got on the ship.
Yu Chaoxian said to Chen Diao, "This time I'll take Yu Tang with me, and let A Jin come along."
Chen Diao almost bit his tongue off again. Did he carry his little aunt with him at all times?
After Yu Chaoxian left, Yu Tang stared at the pile of food. She used to love eating these, but now her favorite mango sticky rice tasted bland. Tears mixed with the rice, and all she could taste was saltiness.
Mickey served her a bowl of warm bird's nest porridge, and the eldest brother instructed him to take good care of Yu Tang.
"Thank you," Yu Tang said softly. She could distinguish right from wrong, and her hatred for Yu Chaoxian should not involve innocent Mickey.
She ate slowly, but managed to eat it all; she only ate a couple of bites before running off to vomit.
Yu Tang was afraid that Yu Chaoxian would go crazy and pull off her brother's oxygen mask, so she forced herself to finish the glutinous rice, eat some of each dish, and even finish a bowl of soup.
The phone spun in her palm, and Yu Tang finally dialed the number she knew by heart. She still needed to tell him that she had finished eating, at least to dissuade him from harming her brother.
The moment the call was dialed, Yu Tang unconsciously held her breath. When A Jin's familiar voice came through the receiver, her tense voice noticeably lightened: "A Jin?"
The moment his personal phone vibrated, Yu Chaoxian was actually right next to him, or rather, he was waiting for this call. He stared at the name flashing on the screen and let A Jin answer the phone.
Amidst the swirling smoke, Yu Chaoxian tilted his head back, biting the cigarette butt, and irritably loosened his collar.
What shameless thing did he do? He actually forced Yu Tang? He never stoops to using coercion when it comes to women, but last night he used every method imaginable on Yu Tang.
What's even more infuriating is the way Yu Tang looked at him back then, constantly calling him disgusting... Every second he thought about it, Yu Chaoxian felt a chill run down his spine.
After hanging up the phone, A-Jin returned it to Yu Chaoxian and repeated to him word for word what Yu Tang had said on the phone: "Miss Yu said she has already finished lunch."
Yu Chaoxian hummed in agreement, twirling his phone in his hand. The lighthearted tone Yu Tang had used when speaking to A Jin on the phone was completely different from the hysterical tone she had used when facing him.
This realization made his temples throb. He should have been satisfied with her obedience, but a more violent emotion surged within him.
After returning from the base, Yu Chaoxian did not go directly to the sanatorium, but instead went back to the Yu residence first.
Yu Tang's bedroom door was ajar, and the afterglow of the setting sun dappled the floor through the sheer curtains. A delicate shopping bag lay quietly on the desk.
He approached silently, his long, slender fingers lifting the edge of the shopping bag. A gift for Liang Jiaqi?
Next to the shopping bag was the card he had given to Yu Tang. Yu Chaoxian sneered, "So, Yu Tang, using my money to give things to some random guy."
A belt? He was very familiar with the style.
There were shredded pieces of paper in the trash can next to him, and he recognized Yu Tang's handwriting on them.
Yu Chaoxian glanced at the trash can; he disdained doing something so pointless. But piecing together a piece of shredded paper was still far too easy for Yu Chaoxian, who had completed countless missions involving classified documents.
When Yu Chaoxian saw the three words at the end of the signature, his pupils contracted slightly—"Little Aunt".
Yu Tang only has one nephew. The gift she bought that time was for him.
The golden light of the setting sun fell on Yu Chaoxian's lips, casting a smile. In high spirits, the man got into the car and immediately turned towards the sanatorium.
