Chapter 24 Making Things Difficult for Her



What are you thanking me for?

Li Ying didn't know what to say to thank him; it seemed like nothing she said would be quite right.

Ye Jingchi coughed lightly: "Although public security has improved somewhat, some spies are still active and rampant in secret. You must be careful!"

This woman sometimes appears aloof and beyond the five elements, and at other times she is so kind that she would save even a little mouse.

How can he feel at ease in this situation?

Li Ying was somewhat surprised. The word "spy," which was from a long time ago, sounded fresh and exciting to her now.

"I understand, it won't happen again."

Ye Jingchi was speechless. Every time she answered so decisively and efficiently, she still ended up doing whatever she was supposed to do. This woman!

In the middle of the night, Li Ying suddenly experienced a leg cramp.

"ah!"

Li Ying instinctively called out and sat up, startling the man beside her. Ye Jingchi also got up.

"Your leg is cramping? Let me massage it for you."

Ye Jingchi placed Li Ying's legs on his own lap and gently massaged her slightly swollen calves with his large hands.

"This is just the beginning. In another month or two, you will experience swelling."

Li Ying looked at Ye Jingchi, who was speaking seriously, and realized she was really doing her homework.

You have to admit, a man who's serious is handsome.

"Ah, be gentle."

"good."

Ye Jingchi dared not use too much force.

Ye Zhonghong, who was getting up in the middle of the night, happened to pass by her third brother's room and overheard such an ambiguous conversation, which made her clench her fists in anger.

That's shameless!

She was pregnant and still clung to her third brother for sex, how shameful!

Ye Zhonghong returned to the house and called Nuannuan in the middle of the night.

"Hey, Zhong Hong, what's wrong with you?"

Nuan Nuan was woken up and was clearly very unhappy.

"I'm so angry! That Li Ying is so promiscuous. She's pregnant and still clinging to Third Brother and her..." Ye Zhonghong couldn't even finish her sentence.

Nuannuan's interest was immediately piqued: "What? They still dare to do that now?"

"Of course! I just passed by their room, oh my god, I was so embarrassed!" Ye Zhonghong was so angry he was about to explode.

Nuan Nuan was even angrier. Ye Jingchi was the man she had her eye on, yet he was sleeping with a divorced woman and being so affectionate with her.

Has Ye Jingchi lost his mind?

"Nuan Nuan, is that person you found reliable? When are you going to find out for sure? You're driving me crazy!"

"Don't worry, we'll hear from you soon."

Nuannuan also wanted Leng Su to find out something quickly, but these things can't be rushed.

Now it's not just Ye Zhonghong who can't sleep; Nuannuan is one of them too.

In another room, Chunxue sat at the table, sewing small clothes.

Dangdang opened her eyes, rolled out of bed, and ran to Chunxue's side.

"Mom, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Mommy can't sleep, Dangdang, be a good girl and go to sleep."

"Mommy, did you make clothes for your little brother? They're so cute!" Dangdang said innocently.

Chunxue smiled and rubbed Dangdang's head: "Go to sleep now."

Dangdang obediently went back to bed, lay down, and went to sleep.

Chunxue stared at the small garment in her hands, her eyes slowly turning cold, and she tightened her grip on the stitches.

Thinking of the seriously injured man in the courtyard, Li Ying dragged Ye Jingchi out early in the morning.

"Third Brother, aren't you going to eat?"

"I'll take your third sister-in-law out to eat."

Ye Jingchi offered an explanation, then rode off on his bicycle.

Ye Zhonghong was furious.

"Third Brother is really poisoned. Ever since Li Ying came, he hasn't been eating breakfast at home."

"Could it be because of me?" Chunxue felt a little guilty.

"Sister-in-law, how can I blame you? It's that Li Ying, you don't even know, she's pregnant, and she's still with Third Brother at night..." Ye Zhonghong really wanted to complain to everyone she met.

Little did Chunxue know that these words sounded like a display of affection and a boast to her!

"Zhonghong, you're a girl, don't say things like that again." Chunxue patted Ye Zhonghong's shoulder.

Ye Zhonghong responded with an "oh," her eyes filled with heartache—heartache for her sister-in-law's kindness and generosity.

Courtyard houses in Dongcheng District.

Ye Jingchi pushed open the door, and the two of them entered the courtyard and went straight into the room where they had taken in the person yesterday.

The room was empty. There was a pendant on the table, and under the pendant was a piece of cloth with a line of small, crooked words written in blood on it.

(I won't thank you enough for this great kindness; this pendant is a token of my gratitude, and I will repay it many times over in the future!)

"They've left?"

Ye Jingchi took the piece of cloth written in blood. This person's actions were somewhat江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry). He wondered who this person was.

Tong Danian rushed over: "Where is he?"

"Didn't you send anyone to keep an eye on things yesterday?" Ye Jingchi questioned.

Tong Danian felt very guilty: "I saw that he looked like he was about to die, and I thought that he was so badly injured, where could he have run off to? So I didn't send anyone to keep an eye on him."

"Did you find anything?" Li Ying asked.

Tong Danian shook his head: "He didn't have a letter of introduction or any trace. Isn't that strange? I inquired overnight, and there haven't been any fights or brawls in the capital recently, which means his injuries weren't caused in our jurisdiction. He must have fled from a neighboring city."

Ye Jingchi patted Li Ying's forehead: "Don't bring people home so casually in the future, it's dangerous."

"Okay." Li Ying gently rubbed the spot where he had tapped her.

Tong Danian was a little embarrassed. Is it really meaningful for the two of you to be showing off your love like this?

"Brother Chi, I don't think this person is a bad guy. Your wife is a doctor; doctors have the heart of a parent, so isn't it normal for her to save lives?"
