Li Ying sat up, but there was no one on the bed. She didn't pay attention, got out of bed, put on her slippers, and went out.
In those days, houses didn't have toilets inside; you had to go outside to use the outhouse.
The door opened, and Ye Jingchi came in carrying a chamber pot.
"Need to use the restroom?"
Knowing that pregnant women urinate frequently and get up often at night, Ye Jingchi didn't want her to run around, so he brought the urinal into the room.
Li Ying shook her head as she looked at the brightly decorated urinal, which would later be used as an ornamental object. She knew she couldn't urinate in front of such a urinal. It wasn't that she was being fussy; she simply couldn't bring herself to urinate in the bedroom in front of a grown man.
"I think I'll go out."
Li Ying opened the door and went out.
Ye Jingchi looked at the chamber pot in his hand, puzzled: "Doesn't she use this at home?"
Rural houses are small, and the outhouse is right in the yard, so you don't have to walk too far.
When Li Ying returned from outside, she saw that the light was on in Hua Qingqing's room. She knew that her second sister-in-law was worried about her brother's illness. The Hua family was also keeping a low profile. Even after all this, they still didn't think about coming to her second sister-in-law to make peace.
Li Ying opened the door and entered the room, where she saw Ye Jingchi changing his clothes.
A strong physique, healthy skin, and dazzling eight-pack abs.
I have to say, this man has a really good physique!
Li Ying blushed and hurriedly covered her eyes before turning away.
Ye Jingchi turned to look at the shy Li Ying and smiled: "I accidentally saw you last time, so we're even this time."
Can this kind of thing be calculated like this?
Li Ying found it amusing. She wasn't shy at all; having lived two lives, as a doctor, she had seen it all.
I did this because I was worried he would be shy.
Ye Jingchi put on his pajamas, sat down, and solemnly said, "Li Ying, come here. I have something I want to talk to you about seriously."
Li Ying sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Ye Jingchi: "Go on."
“I might not speak very nicely during the day, but please don’t take it to heart. There are three brothers in my family. My eldest brother sacrificed his life, my second brother is traveling all over the country, and now I’m the only one left at home. But sometimes I have to go on missions and be gone for many days. This house can feel quite empty sometimes.”
In short, she didn't want Li Ying to buy a house, fearing that her grandmother would think Li Ying was disrupting family harmony if she found out.
Li Ying understood and comprehended what she heard. She got out of bed, went to the lamp, wrote a statement, and handed it to Ye Jingchi.
"Ye Jingchi, I must buy this house. Not in our names, but in my own name. That is to say, this property belongs to me personally, not to the Ye family, and not to you. Once the agreement is finalized, there will be absolutely no disputes!"
She only had a marriage of convenience with Ye Jingchi, not sold herself to him. Why shouldn't she be allowed to have her own ideas?
Ye Jingchi doesn't want to separate the family, fine, she won't stop her. Originally, she had no right to interfere with their relationship, but she was going to move out in the future.
Ye Jingchi's brows furrowed slightly, and his mood instantly became heavy. Did Li Ying have to keep bringing up the agreement to get married?
“Li Ying…”
"Ye Jingchi, we agreed beforehand that it would be a marriage of convenience, and we would not interfere with each other. When you meet someone you like, we will separate peacefully. At that time, I will also have a place to stay. Isn't that right?"
Although Ye Jingchi felt frustrated, Li Ying's considerations were correct.
"I think we can work things out gradually, and maybe one day we'll get along." Ye Jingchi knew he didn't have feelings for Li Ying, but perhaps feelings would develop over time!
Nobody can say for sure about this.
"Ye Jingchi, I feel that we have different ways of thinking, and I'm afraid we'll never get along," Li Ying said decisively.
Ye Jingchi: ...
Li Ying lay down on her side and closed her eyes.
At this moment, Li Ying was a little annoyed with herself for her impulsiveness. If she hadn't agreed to a marriage of convenience with Ye Jingchi, she wouldn't have had so many troubles.
At this point, we can only make do and wait for the matter to be resolved gradually in the future.
Hua Zhen arrived while we were having breakfast.
"Eating?" Hua Zhen said with a big smile.
Hua Qingqing, however, was delighted and stood up: "Cousin, how is Chen Yue?"
"Cousin, you're really calm. You knew Chen Yue was in the hospital, and you still managed to sit still?" Hua Zhen wasn't exactly blaming her, but she felt it was a pity that Hua Qingqing hadn't taken the opportunity to shine.
"I've already been expelled from the Hua family. What's there for an outsider to be upset about?" Hua Qingqing understood the implication in her cousin's words. After a moment's thought, she realized that Li Ying was just trying to make her put on airs so as to repair her relationship with the Hua family. Once she understood, she gave a nonchalant retort.
Hua Zhen opened his mouth.
Ye Zhonghong was puzzled: "Brother Hua, what exactly is going on?"
Hua Zhen gave a brief explanation, and Ye Zhonghong glanced at Li Ying, muttering with dissatisfaction, "Third sister-in-law, really. As a doctor, if you don't treat patients, aren't you neglecting your duty? If you ask me, you should hurry up and go to the Hua family to treat them, stop putting on airs!"
Li Ying ate slowly, glancing indifferently at Ye Zhonghong: "You're so kind, why don't you go and treat his family's illness!"
Ye Zhonghong said indignantly, "I don't know how to treat patients. If I did, I would never have done what you did and stood by and watched someone die!"
"What a wonderful Miss Ye! It's such a pity you didn't study medicine, with your kind heart!"
"you……"
Ye Jingchi coughed, and Ye Zhonghong dared not speak, eating her rice with resentment.
"Cousin, although you've been expelled from the Hua family, you still have Hua family blood flowing in your veins. We can't just sit idly by!"
Li Ying smiled, a very faint smile, but the sarcasm in her smile was obvious.
"The Hua family prides itself on being a prestigious clan and is very particular about rules. But I wonder, do your rules apply to superiors or subordinates?"
Hua Zhen frowned: "Comrade Li Ying, I know you're standing up for my cousin. Tell me, what do we need to do for you to go to the Hua family to treat Chen Yue's illness?"
Li Ying frowned even more deeply than him: "Mr. Hua, I am a doctor. Doctors have the heart of parents, but doctors also need to be respected. Saving lives is my mission, but my principle is quite interesting. I only treat those I find agreeable and who understand human nature. Your Hua family seems to be somewhat lacking in this regard."
Hua Zhen fell into deep thought, then his eyes lit up: "I understand, Comrade Li Ying, I'll go back now."
After saying that, he left.
Ye Zhonghong curled her lip: "What's all this secrecy about? What do you know? Do you really think you're Zhuge Liang, able to kill Wang Lang in three sentences?"
Hua Qingqing looked at Li Ying with great gratitude: "Thank you, sister-in-law, for getting me face!"
Li Ying smiled and said, "We're all family, no need to be so polite."
Ye Jingchi's depressed mood eased when he heard Li Ying say "family".
