Chapter 278 Coaxing Again and Again
Xiao Xun reached out to hug Ye Li, "No, no, of course my feelings for you are real. I care about you too much, and I'm afraid that if I tell you all this, you'll be as angry as you are now. I'm afraid of losing you."
"Go away!" Ye Li stretched out his hand and pushed Xiao Xun away, angrily saying, "You still want to lie to me! You have a fiancée, and you're playing with my feelings. Xiao Xun, you've gone too far."
"What fiancée?" Xiao Xun was confused. Where was his fiancée?
"Are you still playing dumb?" Ye Li stuffed Chong Ling's phone into Xiao Xun's hand and said, "Look for yourself!"
Xiao Xun flipped through the message and felt a thousand horses galloping through his heart. Grandmother had done this to him, wasn't she trying to trick him to death?
"This matter has nothing to do with me. It was my grandmother's doing! I knew nothing about it. I didn't even know what that Lei Keman looked like. How could I possibly like her? Ye Li, I only like you, and you are the only one I will love in this life." Xiao Xun expressed his feelings eagerly.
Tears rolled down Ye Li's eyes. She looked at Xiao Xun and asked, "Let me ask you, are there other things you're hiding from me?"
Xiao Xun was stunned. Should he tell Ye Li about the child? Should he tell her now? But looking at Ye Li's current state, she must hate him to the core.
"No." Xiao Xun said.
"Really?"
"No." Xiao Xun denied it again with certainty.
Ye Li wiped her tears and said, "I hate being lied to the most."
"I was wrong, I was wrong." Xiao Xun opened his arms, hugged Ye Li into his arms, and coaxed her carefully, "It's all my fault. I should have told you about this earlier."
"Then what about your fiancée?" Ye Li said angrily, her cheeks puffed up. "I won't share a man with other women."
"Haha..." Xiao Xun chuckled softly at Ye Li's jealousy. "That's my grandmother's fiancée, not mine. But to resolve this matter, I'm afraid I have to go back."
"Go back?" Ye Li pushed Xiao Xun away and asked with a sour heart, "How long will it take?"
"It depends." Xiao Xun pulled Ye Li and said, "This time I'm going to take Xiao Mu and Xi Xi back with me and tell Grandma that I have a woman I love and we even have a child."
Ye Li said sullenly, "Xiao Mu and Xi Xi aren't your biological children. Will everyone accept this? Besides, doesn't the Holy City have a rule that only children are accepted, not adults?"
"You are the wife I, Xiao Xun, am going to marry. Who dares to disrespect you?" Xiao Xun said, "I can't wait any longer. This time, we will get married as soon as we return to the Holy City."
Ye Li looked at the tree house, then at the dark forest outside the window. Her eyes were heavy as she said, "I promised everyone that I would share the hard times and happiness with you. If I just leave with you like this, what will happen to them?"
Xiao Xun understood the matter of responsibility better than anyone else. He said, "After we get married, I will send someone to take over this place. From now on, the Forest Tribe will be our Holy City's ally."
"Okay, I'll go to the Holy City with you." Ye Li agreed. Xiao Xun worked so hard to be with her, so she should be braver too.
Originally, they had agreed with Xiao Xun to set off the next day, but the land from the Second Elder had just been taken back, and there were too many miscellaneous matters to attend to, so Ye Li could not spare the time. So he discussed with Xiao Xun and decided to postpone the trip for a few days.
Xiao Xun had a cold face all day long, unhappy that his good days were delayed. Ye Li had no choice but to coax him every night, and Xiao Xun gradually began to smile.
"What? Locusts have appeared in the paddy fields? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Ye Li, who was packing her things at home, immediately stood up and followed the person who had come to call her. The servants wanted to follow, but Ye Li stopped them, saying, "Help me pack my things at home, and keep an eye on Xiaomu and Xixi. I'll be back soon."
Xiao Xun is not at home because of something, so someone has to be at home to look after Xiaomu and Xixi.
"Yes." The servants responded and stayed.
Ye Li followed the people on the farm and walked quickly towards the farm.
The fields were full of people, all working on the land that had been allocated to the second elder.
"Which field did the locusts appear in?"
"It's our paddy field. Follow me."
Ye Li asked curiously, "Hasn't the paddy field always been in good condition?"
Passing by the bustling crowd, Ye Li followed the man towards the paddy fields farther away.
Walking to the edge of the paddy field, Ye Li looked around. There were only rice fields swaying in the wind, and no other people.
"Why don't I see anyone?" Ye Li asked, "Where's Uncle Sang? With such a big problem like the locusts, why didn't you call him over?"
Ye Li said this, squatted down, and carefully checked to see if there were any locusts.
"Where are the locusts?"
As he was speaking, suddenly, Ye Li was hit on the back of the head by a heavy object and instantly lost consciousness.
