Chapter 83

As Yezi saw Xiaobing hang up the phone, she smiled and said, "Suxiaoxiao is coming over, so I'll go back first?"

"Uh, uh," Xiaobing was taken aback, "That's not right. You're the official girlfriend, why are you in such a hurry to hide when other girls come?"

Yezi gave Xiaobing a light glare and asked coquettishly, "What? I'm the official girlfriend, and there are other unofficial girlfriends?"

Xiaobing was speechless and said awkwardly, "How could that be? I'm upright and conservative, and I'm always focused on one person when it comes to feelings. I never look at other women..."

Just as he was speaking, the young nurse pushed open the door of the ward, smiling sweetly as she walked in, "How do you feel now? Is there any part of your body that still feels uncomfortable? I'll give you a simple check-up."

Xiaobing's eyes were fixed, the young girl looked sweet and petite, with a bit of baby fat on her face, truly adorable and beautiful...

Yezi coughed, and Xiaobing snapped back to reality, "Oh, nothing, nothing, I'm fine. You can check me."

Yezi giggled, "Alright, I won't disturb you. I'm also tired, I stayed with you all night... I'll go back and get some good sleep. Uncle Lei will stay with you. When the fool comes over, let Uncle Lei go back."

The door opened again, and the fool poked his head in, shouting, "I've been here for a while, I was just asking Uncle Lei some questions. Uncle Lei and I had a great time, it's a pity we met so late."

Xiaobing said, "Your knowledge is all over the place, so it's a pity we met so late."

"Oh, right, a pity we met so late, a pity we met so late."

Yezi smiled, "Then Uncle Lei will go back with me to rest. I'll come back with Uncle Lei in the evening."

"Alright, go back and rest well. You must be very tired, I feel sorry for you."

Yezi pouted, "Stop it, you're just sweet-talking to make me happy."

Though she said it like that, her heart felt as sweet as honey.

After leaving with Uncle Lei, as they walked out of the hospital hall, Yezi asked curiously, "Uncle Lei, what did you talk about with the fool?"

Uncle Lei looked troubled, "Is that person Xiaobing's friend? He's really hard to deal with... like 'Ten Thousand Whys,' asking if being a bodyguard is interesting, how many bowls of rice I can eat in one meal, how I train, and what the difference between being stupid and a fool is... just like 'Ten Thousand Whys.' I don't want to see him again."

Yezi couldn't help but laugh, "There's no way out, Uncle Lei. You still have to accompany me these days. Big Brother Xiao offended someone important, and I wouldn't feel safe with anyone else."

"Ah." Lei sighed, quite helplessly.

Yezi knew Uncle Lei very well. In the entire Ye family, Uncle Lei's status was second only to her father. Apart from Ye Bancheng and Yezi, he wouldn't indulge anyone, not even Ye Xinyi and her brother. He was usually cold and proud, and if you could make him talk a bit more, it was a feat. No matter how difficult the fool was, the fact that Uncle Lei talked to him so much shows that Uncle Lei had some good feelings towards him.

Yezi asked, "Was the old man not angry about yesterday's incident?"

"No," Lei said, "Miss, don't blame me for being straightforward. In the entire Ye family, the only person the boss indulges so much is you. You and the boss... ."

"I know," Yezi said, "But I can't forgive him for betraying my mother. I don't even know if he had that woman before my mother died or if my mother died first! Otherwise, why did that woman move into the house so soon after my mother's death? Forget it, he still has my brother and sister."

Lei sighed, "I'm not saying this behind your back, but your personality is even more straightforward than your late mother. Although you have a falling out with the boss, your heart is purer and more filial than anyone else's. Your brother and sister may not be the same."

"My brother is a good person," Yezi said. Realizing that she had indirectly admitted that her sister's heart wasn't pure, she quickly closed her mouth. Lei didn't continue the topic.

In a theater in the eastern district of Jiangcheng, there were dozens of audience members. If you observed closely, you would notice that they were mostly men, sitting very straight, watching the play as if they were primary school students in class, with focused expressions.

On the stage, a play about Zhuge Liang's decision to execute Ma Su was being performed. The actors were heavily made up, making it impossible to see their true faces.

One of them played Zhuge Liang, wearing a robe with the Eight Trigrams and a feather fan, singing in the standard Peking Opera style, "Ma Su, you just said: your mother is eighty years old and has no one to take care of her. After you die, your money and grain will be given to your mother for her support."

Beside him, the actor playing Ma Su, dressed in a Peking Opera robe with a white face, sang, "Thank you, Prime Minister."

Zhuge Liang pointed at Ma Su and sang, "Come... execute."

Two people came out to take Ma Su away, but the actor playing Zhuge Liang suddenly snatched a fake long sword from one of them, shouted, and with a swift movement, the head of the actor playing Ma Su fell to the ground, and his body collapsed on the stage.

The theater fell silent. Everyone knew that the Eastern King was in a bad mood. Whenever he was in a bad mood, people around him would die. The actor playing Zhuge Liang was none other than the Eastern King, Hualian.

The stage was covered in blood. The actors playing the soldiers were all trembling. Hualian continued to sing, "Take him away, take him away..."

"Yes, Prime Minister..." The people hurriedly dragged the body of Ma Su off the stage, and the audience applauded.

Hualian walked to the backstage and saw a stunningly beautiful woman sitting on a chair. It was none other than Ye Xinyi.

Ye Xinyi was wearing a sheer black dress. When Hualian entered, his eyes were fixed on her. Ye Xinyi stood up, walked to Hualian, took a deep breath, and then said with disgust, "You killed someone again."

Although her voice was displeased, it was very pleasant and full of allure. Her eyes were equally alluring.

"What, in a bad mood?"

Hualian looked at her with desire, but his voice was still in the singing style, "Ye... beauty, what do you think of Xiaobing... ."

Ye Xinyi suddenly giggled, placed her hand on Hualian's shoulder, and pressed him into a chair. She then walked behind him, pressed her body against his back, wrapped her arms around his neck, and gently caressed his face, her voice full of seduction, "What's wrong... our Eastern King, are you jealous?"

Hualian's hand gripped the armrest of the chair, and with a snap, the armrest broke. He then sang, "I can kill him... ."

"You can't do that," Ye Xinyi said in a seductive voice, "If you kill him, I'll never talk to you again."

Hualian finally stopped singing, his speech returning to normal, but his tone was angry and ashamed, "Do you love him?"

"No, I won't love anyone. Compared to him, I love you more because you are more obedient... ."

Hualian asked in a hoarse voice, "Then why don't you let me kill him?"

"Killing him is the Northern King's business, what does it have to do with you? Besides, I have my own plans... last night, you saw that my little sister really fell in love with him... ."

"What does it have to do with me if your little sister falls in love with him? I only care about you... ."

"Ha ha, I know," Ye Xinyi's face gently caressed Hualian's, her eyes filled with satisfaction, her voice coquettish, "So I said, compared to him, I love you more. You are more loyal... when I achieve my goal, I will announce that I will marry you."

"But...," Ye Xinyi's eyes turned cold, jealous, and hateful, her tone also turning cold, "My father has always been biased. No matter whether it's me or Ye Tianming, we always perform better than my little sister. What can my little sister do besides making him angry? But no matter what, he always protects her and loves her more than he loves me and Ye Tianming. It has always been like this, and it's even more obvious these past two years. Whatever I have, Ye Xiaoxi has, and whatever I can't get, Ye Xiaoxi can."

"So I will take Ye Xiaoxi's man, I will conquer that man, and I will make Ye Xiaoxi realize that the man she loves loves me... ha ha... when that time comes, whatever you do to Xiaobing, it will have nothing to do with me."

Hualian asked with a gloomy look, "Are you telling the truth? Just for your little sister?"

"What else could it be? What could Xiaobing have that would attract me? If it were me, my father would never offend the Northern King and Lord Hou for me. If it were me, my father would never allow me to be Xiaobing's girlfriend just because he saved my life. I know my father very well. For him, marriage must align with the family's interests... why should Ye Xiaoxi get to do whatever she wants? I won't stand for it!"

Hualian gritted his teeth, "Alright, I'll agree. I won't get involved in Xiaobing and the Northern King's business. But if the Northern King kills him personally, it will have nothing to do with me."

"Don't worry," Ye Xinyi leaned down, lowered her head, and brought her lips close to Hualian's earlobe, gently blowing and then licking it with her tongue. Feeling Hualian's rapid breathing, her eyes gleamed with satisfaction, her voice seductive, "As long as you listen to me, everything will happen soon... when I get everything I want, I will be your woman, truly and completely your woman."
