Upon meeting, Ye's second brother gave Li Ying the assessment that she wasn't smart. Li Ying understood what he meant; he meant that she was smart because she helped Hua Qingqing resolve the conflict with her family.
The blame for not being smart is that she shouldn't have treated the Jing family's son.
"I don't quite understand what Second Brother means."
If you say she's not smart, fine, she'll just show you how foolish she can be.
Hua gently pinched Ye Wenchi and scolded, "What's wrong with you? You just said you wanted to thank Yingying, but now that Yingying is back, you're talking to her in a sarcastic way."
Ye Wenchi coughed. "I wanted to thank her, but ask her why she went to treat that person from the Jing family?"
The Jing family?!
Hua Qingqing also knew about the feud between the Ye family and the Jing family. It was an irreconcilable hatred. How could Li Ying be so foolish as to do such a thing?
Li Ying smiled faintly: "Second brother, what you said is not quite right. I am a doctor, and it is my duty to treat people."
"Duty?" Ye Wenchi smiled calmly: "If the other party is a murderer, would you treat him too?"
Li Ying nodded: "See, even if the other party is a murderer, as a doctor, I still have to treat him. Punishing criminals is the judge's job, not the doctor's. This isn't about being unable to distinguish right from wrong; it's about fulfilling my duty. Even if I finish treating a murderer and the judge takes him away to be executed the next day, that's perfectly normal. I'm just doing my job!"
Good and bad are not things that doctors need to define; they are things that the law needs to define.
“The Ye family and the Jing family have a grudge. As a member of the Ye family, I will hate the Jing family together with the Ye family. But as a doctor, I cannot refuse to treat him because of the grudge between the two families.”
“Second Brother, Li Ying is right.” Ye Jingchi is very open-minded in this regard, and his understanding is the same as Li Ying’s.
Ye Wenchi glared at Ye Jingchi. He had heard from Zhong Hong that since the third brother married Li Ying, he listened to Li Ying in everything. At first, he didn't believe it, but now it seemed to be true.
It's a pity that a dignified battalion commander could be led by the nose by his wife.
Hua gently pushed her husband: "Ye Wenchi, you're supposed to be in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so let me ask you, you know that some foreigners don't like our country, but you still have to deal with them even if you don't like them?"
One sentence left Ye Wenchi speechless.
"Dinner's ready! Let's eat!" Chunxue called out to everyone from the living room doorway.
Hua gently pulled Ye Wenchi up and said to Li Ying, "Yingying, don't mind him, that's just how he is. Let's go eat!"
Li Ying nodded, not taking Ye Wenchi's words to heart.
Grandma Ye wasn't there, and neither was Tang Qiao.
Chunxue said that Grandma Ye and Tang Qiao went to Fragrant Hills to worship Buddha.
Li Ying didn't care at all. Grandma Ye gave her two choices and let her make her own decision. In the end, Li Ying still chose to go to the Jing family.
Before going to bed, Hua gently pulled Li Ying aside and talked for a while before Ye Jingchi sent her back.
"Second sister-in-law, second brother has finally come back, aren't you going to go and keep him company?"
"Hey, third brother, did I interrupt your lovey-dovey time?"
The flowers teased softly.
Ye Jingchi said seriously, "I'm afraid we'll take up your and your second brother's time. You know, you're always traveling all over the country filming, and you don't spend much time with your second brother."
Hua rolled her eyes and quietly asked Li Ying, "You can make this kind of incense?"
Li Ying thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay."
"Okay, bring it to me when you're done."
Hua gently got up and left.
Ye Jingchi had no idea what the two women were whispering about, so he leaned closer to Li Ying and asked, "What did your second sister-in-law say to you again?"
"Don't pry into women's business."
Li Yingcai would never tell him about her promise to Hua Qingqing.
"Okay, I won't ask. Grandma might be a little angry because of your visit to the Jing family, which is why she went to Fragrant Hills to pray. Here's what I'll do: I'll take you to Fragrant Hills to see Grandma the day after tomorrow when I have time. She's easy to please."
Ye Jingchi didn't want Li Ying to be in a difficult position in the future, so he shared his thoughts.
Li Ying understood his feelings and did not refuse.
"Um."
"Are you tired? I'll carry you to bed." Ye Jingchi said, already putting his arm around Li Ying's waist and lifting her up.
Looking at the handsome face of the man so close to her, Li Ying's heart pounded, and her cheeks flushed for no reason.
Placed on the bed, Ye Jingchi noticed Li Ying's flushed face, pursed his lips, and asked with a smile, "Are you blushing?"
"It's too hot."
It's late September, which should be a time of clear skies and crisp autumn air, but it's still very hot.
Ye Jingchi, however, did not think it was because of the hot weather. The room was warm in spring and cool in summer, and it was not hot at all.
“Li Ying…”
"Hmm?" Li Ying looked up, and Ye Jingchi leaned closer and kissed her lips.
Ye Jingchi caught Li Ying's raised hand, placed his other hand behind her head, and laid her down. He then leaned down and passionately sealed Li Ying's lips with his.
Li Ying felt a bit uncomfortable in her stomach and pushed Ye Jingchi hard.
Has this man been kissing too frequently lately?
"Ye Jingchi, get out of the way!"
Li Ying forcefully pushed Ye Jingchi away, gagged a few times, and swallowed the vomit.
Are you alright?
Li Ying turned her head and glared at Ye Jingchi with harmless eyes: "Haven't you noticed that you've been acting a little strange lately?"
"No, I'm perfectly fine!"
"Ye Jingchi, you're kissing too often," Li Ying said, directly voicing her doubts.
Ye Jingchi clutched the sheet: "I only kissed you, I didn't do anything else."
Li Ying turned her head, her expression slightly angry; she wanted to do something else.
What on earth is this man doing?
They had an agreement, but now they're kissing all the time, and now they shamelessly claim they didn't do anything else.
"Ye Jingchi, don't forget, we're in a marriage of convenience," Li Ying reminded him.
Ye Jingchi lay down, resting his head on his arm, and muttered softly, "A marriage of convenience is still a marriage, and it's a military marriage, so once you're married, you can't get a divorce."
Li Ying didn't hear what he said after that, so she got out of bed to go to the bathroom.
Ye Jingchi touched his lips: "Li Ying, do you know what? The first time I tried to kiss you, I found that you looked a lot like the woman from that night. Now I find that you look more and more like her."
He got drunk that night, but he felt that no one could be deceived; the softness of Li Ying's lips and the fragrance in her mouth were very similar.
"I wonder how Leng Su's investigation is going?"
Ye Jingchi was looking forward to Leng Su bringing him good news.
Early in the morning, Hua gently pulled Li Ying into the car and personally took her to the hospital.
"Second sister-in-law, I need to go to the Jing family."
Hua hesitated for a moment, looked back at the yard, and poked Li Ying's head: "Yingying, Grandma has already gone to Fragrant Hills, and you still want to go to the Jing family? Aren't you afraid that Jingchi will be angry too?"
"If Ye Jingchi is also angry, then it means that we are not a good match."
Fortunately, Ye Jingchi did not stop Li Ying in this matter, which improved Li Ying's feelings towards Ye Jingchi by several degrees.
"But I heard that the one from the Jing family is very handsome, is that true?"
