When Li Ying saw Hua Chenyue holding the potted plant, she really didn't know what to say. This boy was simple-minded and no match for the two people in the yard. If he got involved in this love battle, he was destined to lose.
"Hua Chenyue, put the potted plants in the yard. I'll go back to the Hua family with you."
During the debate, Grandma Hua defended her so well, so Li Ying should visit and thank her out of both courtesy and reason.
Hua Chenyue was both surprised and delighted, nodding hurriedly, "Okay, okay!"
He held his head high with pride, completely disregarding the two men in the yard.
So what if he's the regimental commander? He's still a defeated opponent!
Ye Jingchi abandoned Jing Yingyan and went to Li Ying.
"Are you going to the Hua family?"
"Um."
"I'll go with you."
Li Ying decisively refused: "I'm sorry, Commander Ye, I'll just ride in the Hua family's car."
Ye Jingchi frowned slightly, stepped closer, and reached out to shake Li Ying's small hand: "Are you still angry?"
Li Ying gently shook her head: "I would never get angry over someone who isn't worth it. But Commander Ye should consider my suggestion."
Ye Jingchi would never get a divorce; the word "divorce" doesn't exist in his vocabulary.
"Yingying, I know the Ye family has hurt you a lot, and you can't change it all in a short time. It's okay, everything will change," Ye Jingchi assured her.
“Change? How do you change it?” Hua Chenyue walked out and stood next to Li Ying, saying with great dissatisfaction, “When others attacked Sister Yingying, not only did your Ye family not help, but you also added fuel to the fire, especially your Ye Zhonghong. She must be out of her mind to target Sister Yingying time and time again.”
Ye Jingchi's sharp gaze swept over Hua Chenyue. Their business was none of anyone else's business.
"Hey, you're still glaring at me! Ye Jingchi, let me tell you, although I can't beat you, I'm willing to fight to the death to protect Sister Yingying!" Hua Chenyue clenched his fists, his expression tense, with a resolute air of someone ready to die for their cause.
Protecting Sister Yingying is something I wouldn't mind even if it meant losing my own life.
Li Ying didn't want to argue, so she said to Hua Chenyue, "Let's go."
"good!"
Hua Chenyue arrogantly raised his chin and followed Li Ying away.
Ye Jingchi was at a loss.
"So, Commander Ye, a promotion doesn't mean you can't have Pepsi." Jing Yingyan's damned mocking voice came from behind.
Ye Jingchi ignored him and strode away.
No one can take Ye Jingchi's wife away!
The Hua family.
Grandma Hua was reading at home when she heard that Li Ying had arrived. She quickly put down her book and, with the help of her mother, left the bedroom and went to the living room in front.
"Grandma Hua, thank you for helping me out last time. I have nothing to repay you with, so I'm sending you some heart-nourishing pills."
Li Ying handed a small wooden box to Hua Chenyue.
Hua Chenyue presented the box to Grandma Hua. Upon opening the box, a strong, sweet herbal aroma wafted out.
"These pills must be very precious, right?" Grandma Hua now finds everything about Li Ying pleasing to the eye.
“Precious things should be given to those who know how to cherish them. Grandma Hua, you have a lot of energy. When you are upset, take this pill and it will help you live a long life.”
Li Ying couldn't say anything about immortality.
After all, there is no such thing as a drug that can make one live forever.
Grandma Hua was very satisfied and handed it over to Hua's mother to accept.
"Li Ying, your abilities are evident to Grandma, and we admire them greatly. You've also saved our Hua family's life. If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, please remember to tell us. Our Hua family will never treat you unfairly!"
"Thank you, Grandma!"
Grandma Hua beamed with joy.
After Hua Chenyue saw Li Ying off, Hua's mother asked in confusion, "Mother, don't you admire Li Ying? She came to thank you this time, why didn't you mention her and Chenyue's affair?"
Grandma Hua sighed, "The fact that she sent such expensive medicine shows her attitude. She won't marry Chen Yue. If I bring up her and Chen Yue again, it will embarrass her."
Hua's mother was somewhat unconvinced: "In what way is our Chenyue inferior to Ye Jingchi?"
Grandma Hua glanced at her daughter-in-law: "Marriage is about mutual affection and compatibility, not comparing family backgrounds. According to your logic, wouldn't everyone be marrying the regimental commander? Li Ying, this girl, seems weak, but she has her own ideas. Our Hua family is not fortunate enough to have her."
Hua Chenyue escorted Li Ying to the front gate and stopped.
"Sister Yingying, I'll have the driver take you. I need to go back and study. I might be going to the countryside after the New Year. I don't know if I'll have a chance to see you again."
Li Ying turned around, took a small bottle out of her purse, and handed it to Hua Chenyue.
“I know that working in the countryside will be hard, but this is good for your health. Here, consider it a gift from me.”
Hua Chenyue knew that once he accepted the gift, there would be no possibility of talking about love with Li Ying anymore. But he also understood that Li Ying's giving her grandmother such an expensive heart-nourishing pill and also giving him the pill indicated her intentions.
Hua Chenyue reached out and took the small medicine bottle, his gaze fixed intently on Li Ying.
“Sister Yingying, I was just born a few years too late, and I missed out on some of the most wonderful things. The day you suddenly walked into my hospital room was like a ray of light, illuminating my heart and giving me the courage to live. At first, I thought I could do something to make Sister Yingying happy and satisfied. I was wrong.”
Li Ying couldn't bear to hurt him, but she couldn't give him any more hope. If she didn't love him, she didn't love him; if she didn't like him, she didn't like him.
“Hua Chenyue, you did nothing wrong. You are so kind, it’s normal for you to love others. It’s just that I’m not worthy of your love, that’s my loss. But I believe that good people will be rewarded, and you will definitely find the woman who can accept your love and stay with you for life.”
Hua Chenyue smiled bitterly. A person's love is limited; how can one give it away so easily every time?
“Sister Yingying, you’re right! I will definitely find the person who truly loves me, and then we will live happily together. If you encounter any trouble while I’m not in the capital, you can come to the Hua family to find Grandma, and Grandma will definitely help you.” Hua Chenyue said, then laughed self-deprecatingly, “Actually, I know you don’t need the Hua family’s help. Most of the time, you can solve things on your own. I was just overthinking it.”
"Alright, let's go back." Li Ying smiled brightly and turned to walk towards the car.
Hua Chenyue watched Li Ying get into the car and drive away. Looking at the delicate little medicine bottle in his palm, he couldn't help but feel a little bittersweet.
"I was just a few years too late, and I can never catch up with you."
When Li Ying returned to the courtyard, Ye Jingchi had already left. Only Jing Yingyan was in the courtyard. He was leisurely stroking the roses that Hua Chenyue had sent. Hearing footsteps, he didn't even look up, but said with a gloomy tone, "If Hua Chenyue were a few years older, would you still reject him so easily?"
