Looking at Hua Chenyue's sincere face, Li Ying couldn't bring herself to say anything reproachful. But was he trying to frame her for having an extramarital affair by coming to deliver flowers so openly?
"Young Master Hua, are these flowers for me?"
Tian Li suddenly appeared out of nowhere, snatched the flowers from Hua Chenyue's hands, hugged them to his chest, and scolded in a low voice, "Young Master Hua, can't you use your brain? Sister Yingying is not divorced yet. If you come here to deliver flowers like this, people who don't know any better will think that Sister Yingying is having an affair."
Hua Chenyue then realized how thoughtless his actions were and felt very sorry.
"I'm sorry, Sister Yingying. I just wanted to give you these wonderful things so much that I forgot some things."
Li Ying sighed: "Hua Chenyue, I don't want to repeat myself. Don't do such childish things again."
"Sister Yingying, are you angry?" Hua Chenyue was very nervous and immediately reflected on her actions: "It's my fault. I shouldn't have brought you flowers like that. I won't do it again. Please don't be angry!"
Li Ying sighed, "Hua Chenyue, can't you be a little more mature?"
After saying that, he walked straight into the hospital.
After pondering for a moment, Hua Chenyue said, "Does Sister Yingying like more mature men? Then I'll practice hard in the future and strive to become the mature man she envisions!"
Tian Li rolled her eyes, handed the flower to Hua Chenyue, and said without any mercy, "Hua Chenyue, didn't your family teach you that pestering is a very annoying thing, you know? Sister Yingying has already made it clear that she doesn't like you, and you're still doing this, which will only bother her, do you understand?"
I don't like him!
I've only caused her trouble!
Hua Chenyue couldn't understand why Li Ying wouldn't even glance at him when his love was so passionate and sincere.
He loves Li Ying wholeheartedly, he won't be unfaithful or fickle, so why is that a problem?
Seeing that this person was unyielding, Tian Li didn't want to waste his breath and started chasing after Li Ying.
Hua Chenyue returned home dejectedly. Hua Qingqing was also there. Seeing her younger brother's listless state, she guessed the reason.
"You were rejected?"
Hua Chenyue was on the verge of tears: "Sister, what exactly did I do wrong?"
Hua gently patted her younger brother's shoulder, comforting him: "Chenyue, your sister supports you, but I know Li Ying better. She won't agree to it. You'd better give up on that idea."
"No! I won't give up. As long as I have enough love, Li Ying will definitely see my good qualities!"
Hua Qingqing remained silent; her infatuated younger brother was truly hopeless.
“Chen Yue, sometimes what you think is good is just what you think, but what others find troublesome.”
Even his sister said that, so is his love really that worthless? Hua Chenyue has both good looks and a good family background, in what way is he not good enough for Li Ying?
Why do people feel that his love has become a problem for Li Ying?
“I am not a burden to her; I am a ray of light during the lowest point of her life, just as she entered my heart and gave me the courage to live when I was lifeless. I will be the same kind of person!”
Hua Qingqing was feeling down. How could she explain love between a man and a woman?
Sometimes, family matters and appearance are not the most important things; the most important thing is mutual affection and love.
"You, as the older sister, not only do you not encourage your younger brother, but you also keep pouring cold water on him?" Grandma Hua came out of the house and said to Hua Chenyue, "Don't listen to your sister. As long as the entire Hua family supports you, there is no one you can't beat! In a couple of days, the Chen family will have a debate and will definitely invite Li Ying to participate. You come with me, and maybe you can help Li Ying then."
Hua Qingqing was speechless. Her whole family was bewildered. How could she possibly persuade them?
Back home, Hua Qingqing told Ye Wenchi what her family had been thinking.
"It's not that the third brother is busy with anything, but we haven't seen him much lately. His wife is about to be stolen away by someone else, and he doesn't even know it!"
"He's going to participate in the military parade."
"No, we haven't had a military parade for the past few years, so why are we having one again this year?" Hua Qingqing didn't understand.
Ye Wenchi rolled his eyes at his wife: "Who are you asking me?"
"Hey, Ye Wenzhi, you're supposed to be from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, how can you not know about something this simple?"
Ye Wenchi glared at the woman. Even if he knew, he couldn't just tell everyone; these were confidential matters.
This military parade is a pretense; the real purpose is to catch spies.
"Alright, stop asking. Let's talk about Jingchi when he gets back."
Ye Wenzhi is now beyond anyone's control or ability to manage.
"who?"
Hua Qingqing heard a noise outside the door, stood up and opened it. Chunxue, holding Dangdang, saw Hua Qingqing and felt very guilty: "Sister-in-law, this child is young and doesn't know any better."
Hua waved her hand gently: "It's nothing, I shouldn't have closed the door in broad daylight. Dangdang, is there something you need to see your second uncle about?"
Dangdang nodded: "I want to borrow a book from my second uncle."
"Alright, then go find your second uncle." Although Hua Qingqing didn't particularly like Chunxue, she still loved children.
"What would you like to eat tonight, sister-in-law? I'll go tell Aunt Li," Chunxue said gently.
Hua smiled mischievously and said, "Thank you for your trouble, sister-in-law. I'll be playing a patient in a couple of days, so I can't eat too much. I'll just have some fruit tonight."
Chunxue nodded slightly, then turned and left.
Hua Qingqing felt uncomfortable somewhere, but couldn't quite put her finger on it. She closed the door, thought for a moment, and then opened it again.
She decided that she would leave the door open at home from now on, to prevent anyone from secretly eavesdropping under the wall.
Li Ying has been restless these past two days, and she keeps dreaming of Ye Jingchi covered in blood, which frightens her so much that she wakes up from her dreams.
Unable to sleep, I sat up, turned on the light, and sat down to read.
She sat there until dawn, glanced at the calendar, and knew it was the day of the military parade. But Li Ying's eyelids kept twitching, and her mind was in turmoil.
After leaving the room, Zhou Qi pushed Jing Yingyan in a wheelchair to water the flowers in the yard.
"Zhou Qi, come with me to the street."
"Miss Yingying, the entire city is under martial law today. You are not allowed to move around."
Li Ying felt even more flustered.
"Worried?" Jing Yingyan asked slowly as he watered the flowerpot. "Do you know why the Ye family was able to move to Kyoto?"
Li Ying knew, of course, that it was thanks to her elder brother's sacrifice and Ye Jingchi's military achievements.
What are you trying to say?
Jing Yingyan smiled and said, "Ye Jingchi is only in his twenties and he's already sitting here..."
"The position of battalion commander, you think it means...?"
"Jing Yingyan, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Jing Yingyan dropped the water ladle in his hand, turned his wheelchair, and looked at Li Ying: "Are you tempted?"
Starting to care about Ye Jingchi means she's fallen for him, right?
Li Ying smiled calmly: "I just..."
"I'm not in the same unit as Ye Jingchi, but I've heard a bit about him. He's the kind of person who likes to take unconventional approaches; you can never guess what he'll do next. I think after today, he might stop calling me Battalion Commander Ye."
