Chapter 280: Watch the show
Xu Xiaoyue shrank back in fear, not knowing whether Yan Ye heard what she had just said.
She carefully glanced at the man's face, which was still serious, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Yan Ye walked in as usual, as if he didn't notice the guilty look in Xu Xiaoyue's almond eyes.
He nodded to Aunt Zhang next to him as a greeting.
The corner of the bed soon sank in, and his palm was placed on Xu Xiaoyue's forehead. He had just come back from outside and still felt a little cold.
"Have you eaten yet?"
Xu Xiaoyue could tell his voice was hoarse, so she immediately handed over the unfinished water in her hand to him in a flattering manner.
He had stretched out his hand halfway when he suddenly remembered that he had a cold. If he gave the drink to Yan Ye, he would infect him, so he withdrew his hand in disappointment.
Aunt Zhang stood up tactfully, leaving space for the two of them.
She and Yan Ye were the only ones left in the room. Xu Xiaoyue tugged at Yan Ye's sleeve and asked impatiently, "What are you going to say when you go to the police station?"
Yan Ye lowered his head and glanced at those who were pretending to be good, "Drag them all away and shoot them."
"Shooting?"
Xu Xiaoyue screamed and covered her mouth again.
She didn't expect that the laws of this era were more perfect than those of later generations. She thought that bringing the two men to justice and spending a few more years in jail would be enough, but she didn't expect that they would be shot directly.
"Are you scared?"
Seeing her lowering her head, Yan Ye's eyes darkened.
Xu Xiaoyue shook her head. She was not afraid, but felt it was a pity.
Unfortunately, the real world she lives in is not like this. Those demons who traffic and force women actually still have the opportunity to reform.
Seeing that she looked depressed, Yan Ye changed the subject.
"Want something to eat? I'll get it."
When it comes to eating, Xu Xiaoyue comes back to her senses. She touches her belly and lists a long list of dishes, "I want stir-fried tripe, crispy roast duck, and stir-fried spicy chicken."
I don’t know if it’s because of her pregnancy, but her taste has become heavier and she loves spicy food.
Yan Ye looked at the people quietly, and after Xu Xiaoyue had listed all the dishes, he slowly said, "You don't have to think about these."
"The doctor said you'd better eat a light diet this month."
Xu Xiaoyue glanced at him and took back her hand that was holding the man's sleeve. "Then I'll eat chicken stewed with mushrooms."
Yan Ye lowered his head and glanced at the wrinkled part that was pulled by the girl. "Light diet means that from now on you can only drink millet porridge and eat food with less oil and salt."
"The chicken stewed with mushrooms I just mentioned won't work either."
Xu Xiaoyue was completely furious at this. She asked a pregnant woman to drink millet porridge. She looked at Yan Ye with a condemning look and blurted out, "Are you still the father of the child?"
Yan Ye glanced at her and put his big hand on Xu Xiaoyue's belly, "Aren't you the one who knows best whether he is the father of the child or not?"
His eyes were full of meaning as they fell on Xu Xiaoyue. Although he didn't say anything, Xu Xiaoyue still felt aroused and turned her head away.
Neither of them spoke. Finally, Xu Xiaoyue lost her temper and turned her head back, "Then I want to drink millet porridge."
"I want some pickles too."
Afraid that Yan Ye would reject her again, before the man could speak, Xu Xiaoyue took the lead in blocking his words, "You were the one who said that millet porridge is drinkable. I drink millet porridge and eat some pickles. It's not too much, right?"
Yan Ye sighed helplessly, as if he couldn't do anything about her, and went to bring back the millet porridge obediently.
Xu Xiaoyue's illness came and went quickly. By the morning of the next day after she woke up, the fever had completely subsided.
Yan Ye actually stayed in the hospital with the patient for five days.
On the fifth day, Xu Xiaoyue couldn't hold it in any longer, "Aren't you going back?"
"Where to go?"
Yan Ye was sitting beside her, legs crossed and holding a newspaper in his hands. He glanced at her when he heard her say that.
Seeing that he was not in a hurry, Xu Xiaoyue made it clearer, "Go back to the army."
People like them who hold important positions are not allowed to be away from home for too long.
The man reached out and tidied up the messy hair beside Xu Xiaoyue's ears, and said in a light tone: "I have already applied to the higher-ups, so this period of time is considered as my leave."
He originally wanted to apply to stay directly in the Hong Kong City base, but his superiors refused to let him go and relaxed the conditions, even though he had applied for leave in advance during this period.
Xu Xiaoyue said "Oh".
She has been drinking millet porridge, rice porridge, and yellow rice porridge every day these days, and her mouth is almost tasteless. She just hopes that Yan Ye can go back early and stop controlling her all the time.
Seeing the girl's melancholy, Yan Ye raised his eyes to the sunlight outside and asked, "Do you want to go see a play?"
"What play?"
Xu Xiaoyue still looked uninterested.
"A good show of the He family."
"The He family?"
She couldn't help but repeat it, and Yan Ye nodded.
He has been busy dealing with matters in the police station these days, and now that he is finally done, it is the He family's turn.
Xu Xiaoyue became slightly interested. She didn't have a good impression of the He family and didn't want to find out He Zhishu's attitude.
Maybe he once wanted to treat her as a sister, but there were too many things between them.
She was just a wild child who had been lost for many years. Compared with the other people in the He family, it was normal for her to be a little biased.
Blood relationship means nothing to her.
Xu Xiaoyue leaned towards Yan Ye and said, "What's going on? Tell me in advance."
What if it wasn't what she thought? If she rushed over to watch other people's jokes, it would be extremely embarrassing.
"The He family has been investigated by the higher-ups. All of Aunt He's actions over the years have been uncovered, including the money she received in bribes. She will most likely face jail time."
"The He family is in chaos right now. Even Mr. He has to be interrogated."
Yan Ye said casually, secretly glancing at Xu Xiaoyue's expression.
He remembered that if Xu Xiaoyue had not been abducted by human traffickers, she would have become He Zhishu's definite fiancée.
Thinking of this, Yan Ye felt very uncomfortable.
"Really? That's great."
The girl's almond eyes sparkled, and she almost said the word "gloating" out loud.
Yan Ye's dark eyes fell on Xu Xiaoyue's happy face, and his movements paused.
Xu Xiaoyue also realized that she acted too happy. She rubbed her face, and she really couldn't pretend to be sad.
There was nothing she could do. When she heard that the annoying Aunt He was going to jail, she really hoped that she would spend the rest of her life in jail.
"Go, take me there now."
Xu Xiaoyue climbed up directly from the bed. She originally looked sickly, but now she was full of fighting spirit.
"I want to wear the cheongsam that Aunt Zhang made for me. Can you go back and get it for me?"
The He family is in trouble, and He Zhiyu and his sister must be feeling very uncomfortable right now. But she insisted on dressing up to deliberately annoy them.
