"What did you say? Say it again!"
Xu Nuo watched as the veins on Ye Linyan's forehead bulged with anger, then said nothing more. She slowly turned over, pulled the blanket over her head, and covered herself with it.
"Stop fucking playing dead! Get up and explain yourself!"
Ye Linyan yanked off the blanket and threw it on the ground.
Xu Nuo had made up her mind not to talk to him, so she curled up and turned her back to Ye Linyan.
Seeing that Xu Nuo clearly didn't want to talk to him, Ye Linyan took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to pull him up, turned around and slammed the door as he left!
Sitting in the living room, sulking, Ye Linyan was extremely irritable.
He would rather promise to have a big fight with him, throw a tantrum and hit him, than see him half-dead like this, not wanting to say another word to him!
Ye Linyan grew increasingly angry as he thought about it. He went to the liquor cabinet on the first floor, took out a bottle of wine, and opened it…
————————————————————————————
Hearing the sounds from upstairs, Wang Mingwu could already tell what was going on. Luckily, he had found a nanny early in the morning. He glanced at Ye Linyan, who was struggling with a wine bottle in front of the wine cabinet, and then took the new nanny upstairs.
Upon entering, I saw Xu Nuo curled up on her side on the bed, her frail figure looking quite pitiful.
Seeing the spilled soup and water on the floor, Wang Mingwu gestured for the nanny to clean it up, then walked around the foot of the bed to the opposite side of Xu Nuo.
"Shall I call a doctor for you?"
Xu Nuo opened her eyes only after hearing Wang Mingwu's voice. She seemed to be seriously considering it for a while before speaking:
"I want to take a shower, can you find me a waterproof patch?"
"good."
Seeing the stubble that had sprouted on Xu Nuo's chin, Wang Mingwu made a point of checking the toiletries in the guest room.
The guest rooms were mostly unoccupied before, but they were fully equipped with toiletries provided by Xu Nuo and Ye Linyan, which saved them a lot of trouble.
Wang Mingwu felt that he no longer needed to be Ye Linyan's driver and bodyguard; he seemed to be getting more and more used to being a nanny.
He couldn't find the promised bathrobe in the dressing room. He glanced at Ye Linyan downstairs, who was drinking alone, and decided not to ask him. He went into Ye Linyan's bedroom and found a promised bathrobe in the closet.
After instructing the nanny to change Xu Nuo's bedding later, Wang Mingwu hurriedly went downstairs. Just as he was about to leave, Ye Linyan called him back:
"What is he going to do now?"
“He wants to take a shower, but we don’t have any waterproof tape at home, so I’ll go buy some.”
Wang Mingwu answered truthfully.
Ye Linyan had already drunk a glass of wine, and his mood was even worse. The wine didn't taste right. He opened several bottles, but not one of them suited his taste!
He wanted to drink the cocktail Han Lu made, but when he thought about what happened that night and how excited Xu Nuo was, he nipped the idea in the bud!
"Wait a minute."
Upon hearing the promise to take a bath, Ye Linyan changed her mind again.
He didn't want to talk to me! He just said he didn't want to stay here! He doesn't like seeing Han Lu, he doesn't want Han Lu to use his study, then I'll make sure he doesn't get his way...
Let's see how long he can hold back from talking to me!
"Bring Han Lu over."
"ah?"
Wang Mingwu then turned his gaze to the second floor.
"Just go when I tell you to."
Ye Linyan sat on the bar with a sullen face and said to Wang Mingwu in an annoyed tone.
"oh."
Watching Wang Mingwu leave, Ye Linyan took another sip of wine from her glass, forced it down, and glanced at the bottle.
I never thought this wine was this bad before...
.........................................................................
Xu Nuo felt hopeless; he was having two episodes a day now, and he couldn't quit...
He dared not imagine what he would become without the medicine.
Will he also lose control of his behavior and become someone everyone hates and despises...?
Lying in the bathtub, waiting for the drug to take effect, Xu Nuo really wanted to drown himself there, but he couldn't...
I think I heard laughter downstairs. Whose voice is that?
Xu Nuo wanted to hear it clearly, but the sound grew fainter and fainter...
In front of the liquor cabinet on the first floor, Han Lu mixed drinks for Ye Linyan with a smile on her face, occasionally mentioning the gossip she had heard at the company.
Ye Linyan listened perfunctorily, but his eyes were always on the commotion on the second floor.
More than an hour had passed, and Ye Linyan had already drunk four glasses of wine, but the second floor was unusually quiet, without a sound.
Wang Mingwu was sent back to rest by Ye Linyan, and the nanny also went off work. Now, apart from the two people on the first floor, only Xu Nuo in the guest room on the second floor remained in the villa.
Han Lu noticed that Ye Linyan seemed distracted, his gaze constantly drifting towards the second floor.
On the way here, Han Lu wanted to ask more about Xu Nuo, but Wang Mingwu retorted with a single sentence:
"Brother Wang, who's staying in the guest room on the second floor? Is President Ye paying a lot of attention to him?"
"You'd better go out of his way if you see him. If you upset him, he'll chop you up in a heartbeat! I'm not kidding!"
Feeling even more uneasy, he mixed another drink and, looking at Ye Linyan who was clearly drunk, said softly:
"Mr. Ye, it's so late, there are no more cars available. I'll stay here tonight and make you breakfast tomorrow morning, okay?"
Ye Linyan didn't reply, but just stared at the top of the stairs on the second floor, lost in thought.
He said he didn't want to stay here, didn't want to stay by my side. Could it all be true?
From the moment Ye Linyan took her first sip of wine, she thought that Xu Nuo must have said it in anger, but at the time, Xu Nuo's expression and tone showed no sign of anger at all.
Instead, I was very calm and seriously told myself the 'I don't want to'!
Ye Linyan tilted his head back and drank the wine in his glass, then couldn't help but think he was really funny.
Before, they would always make promises and act spoiled to cling to me, but now that they're saying they want to leave, I'm completely unwilling!
"Mr. Ye? Are you drunk?"
"Would you like to stay by my side?" Ye Linyan turned around, his eyes, hazy with drunkenness, filled with a question.
Han Lu was stunned for a moment because she didn't expect Ye Linyan to ask this question.
"You don't want to either, do you!"
Ye Linyan chuckled softly, poured the freshly mixed drink into his mouth, steadied himself, and walked towards the stairs...
