Ye Jingchi would never sleep with Nuannuan. Even if it really was Nuannuan that night, he wouldn't do that. He would only think of other ways to resolve everything.
For the time being, we can only ask Li Ying to move out.
Thinking of the courtyard house that Li Ying bought in Dongcheng, Ye Jingchi felt somewhat fortunate that he hadn't stopped Li Ying's actions, otherwise, what would Li Ying do now?
In the room, Li Ying calmly packed her things. She hadn't brought many clothes with her when she came, so it wouldn't be so troublesome when she left.
Ye Jingchi stood beside Li Ying, helping her pack her things, feeling a mix of emotions he couldn't quite describe.
"I know Zhou Qi is in the courtyard, but it's not really appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone together."
Li Ying turned to look at Ye Jingchi.
Thinking back on their time together, Ye Jingchi's behavior towards her was just what a normal man would do; it didn't count as love at all.
And for her wounded heart, it is very difficult to truly love someone.
“I will let Tian Li live with me.”
"That's fine, but she's just a young woman after all, and I'm afraid she doesn't know how to take care of a pregnant woman."
"I'm a doctor, I know how to take care of myself."
“Li Ying,” Ye Jingchi hesitated for a moment before saying, “You should move to the courtyard house first. I will find a way to resolve this matter. By then, the baby should be born soon, and I will bring you back to take care of you.”
Li Ying was surprised; he didn't seem to have considered divorcing her.
"Ye Jingchi, are you pitying me?"
"If that's how you see it, you're not wrong. After all, your parents are still in the countryside, and your brother and the others can't protect you for the time being."
Ye Jingchi raised his hand and put it on Li Ying's shoulder: "I have never been a person who likes to act recklessly. Choosing to have a marriage of convenience with you was a bit impulsive, but after the impulse passed, I found that this decision was a good one for me."
Li Ying smiled calmly, "Ye Jingchi, if I told you that my marriage of convenience with you was just to use you, what would you do?"
Ye Jingchi frowned slightly: "I know your purpose in going to the Jing family to treat Jing Yingyan's leg was to find out about your second brother."
Li Ying was stunned; Ye Jingchi actually knew even this.
He didn't stop her, and was even willing to stand on the same side as her, just to give her some support and not make things too difficult for her.
This man may not have loved her very much, but he certainly did what a husband should do.
"Thank you."
"I don't want your thanks." Ye Jingchi gripped Li Ying's shoulders tightly. "What I want is to take care of you for the rest of my life!"
A lifetime?
Li Ying pulled Ye Jingchi's hand away. "Ye Jingchi, let me be honest with you, I don't like you. I agreed to a marriage of convenience with you only because I wanted to give my child a legitimate birth and also because I wanted to use your Ye family's affairs to investigate my second brother in the capital. I don't know how I gave you the wrong impression, but please see clearly, our marriage is just a contract."
Ye Jingchi withdrew his hand, silently stepped back, and sat on the edge of the bed.
If he had known it would end like this, he shouldn't have let Leng Su investigate what happened that night.
How can you get the right answer from the wrong thing?
Li Ying pushed her suitcase out the door, where Hua Qingqing's car was already waiting.
"Yingying, we're sisters-in-law, let me take you there."
Li Ying did not refuse and nodded.
The car soon arrived at the courtyard house in Dongcheng, which was very clean.
Zhou Qi was practicing boxing in the courtyard when he saw Li Ying and hurriedly went to greet her.
"Sister Ying, this is..."
"I'll move back here from now on." Li Ying went straight to the room she had chosen earlier.
Zhou Qi didn't know what had happened, and he didn't ask any questions; he just helped carry the luggage.
After learning that Li Ying had moved out of the Ye family's house, Tian Li offered to stay with her in the courtyard house.
Lu Qingzhu also brought a middle-aged woman with her.
"Yingying, this is Aunt Yang. We'll leave the cooking and laundry to her."
Li Ying felt quite embarrassed, as if she were a rich young lady with all the maids and servants prepared.
"Junior brother, I'm not that delicate."
“I know you are very strong, but you are pregnant now, so you must eat well and rest well. If anything happens to you, how can I explain it to my master?” Lu Qingzhu said sincerely.
Li Ying had no choice but to keep Aunt Yang with her.
Aunt Yang is very diligent, cooks very well, and is more experienced in taking care of pregnant women.
Li Ying asked Zhou Qi to clean out an empty house.
"This room is not for rent; I use it to make incense."
“Yes, Sister Ying! Please let me know if you need anything!” Zhou Qi stood respectfully.
Li Ying handed the list of medicinal herbs she had written down to Zhou Qi: "Go and help me purchase these medicinal herbs. Remember, they must be collected from the mountains."
At that time, there were no artificially cultivated herbs, but it was impossible to rule out that some people would try to take advantage of the situation.
"Okay, Sister Ying!" Zhou Qi immediately went to do the work.
Following his master's instructions, Tian Li stood guard outside, fearing that Li Ying might be upset or feel distressed.
Seeing how nervous Tian Li was, Li Ying chuckled: "Why does it look like something happened to you?"
"Sister Ying, this is a task assigned to me by my master, and I can't refuse to complete it." Tian Li took Li Ying's arm.
Li Ying smiled brightly: "I'm not that fragile."
"I know, but it's always good to have someone with you, isn't it?"
Li Ying nodded. When someone encounters a misfortune, it is indeed best to have someone by their side.
That evening, Lu Qingzhu came over to have dinner with Li Ying, just so Li Ying wouldn't feel lonely.
"It's lunchtime, and I haven't eaten yet." Ye Jingchi strode into the restaurant, took a bowl and chopsticks as if he knew the place well, and sat down.
"Ye Jingchi." Li Ying wanted to say something.
Ye Jingchi had already started eating: "I'm doing field training today, so I'll have a good appetite."
He was afraid Li Ying would kick him out, so he wolfed down his food.
Lu Qingzhu coughed and said to Li Ying, "It's alright, there's plenty of food anyway, one more or one less won't make a difference. More people makes for a more lively meal, right? Let's eat!"
Li Ying turned to look at Ye Jingchi: "Eat slowly."
Ye Jingchi immediately slowed down his eating and smiled gratefully.
Tian Li was confused. Wasn't Sister Ying going to divorce Battalion Commander Ye?
Judging from this, Battalion Commander Ye doesn't seem to have any intention of getting a divorce.
After dinner, Lu Qingzhu pulled Tian Li to clear the dishes.
Ye Jingchi accompanied Li Ying for a walk in the yard. At this moment, Ye Jingchi felt that the garden in this yard was too small and it would be better if it were bigger.
"It's getting late, you should head back now," Li Ying urged.
Ye Jingchi stopped, his eyes shining as he looked at Li Ying: "Asking you to move out of the Ye family is just a temporary measure. I hope you won't resent me. And I will definitely come to see you whenever I have time in the future."
"Ye Jingchi, I've made myself perfectly clear. What you're doing is pointless." Li Ying didn't want to remain entangled and drag things out.
She likes to get things done quickly and efficiently!
"We're destined to get divorced a year from now, so Ye Jingchi, don't be so indecisive and wishy-washy."
