Chapter 14

After seeing off Monkey, Ye Chenfeng returned to the second-floor room, his eyes fixed on Tang Xin, who was lying on the bed. The medicine's effects had yet to fully dissipate from her body.

It had been three years since they last met, and the little girl had grown into a graceful young woman. He remembered that three years ago, Tang Xin was still a sophomore in high school! Now, she should be a sophomore in college!

The youthful innocence that used to characterize her was gradually fading, her chest had started to rise slightly, and her figure had become much fuller. One could say that Tang Xin, this sweet peach, was gradually ripening.

Her small, delicate feet and cute toes made Ye Chenfeng involuntarily look at them for a bit longer. Then he realized that an evil thought had crept into his mind, but he quickly banished it. As a super talent trained by the state in his previous life, he still had some self-control.

He walked to the bedside, sat down, and affectionately stroked Tang Xin's head, saying, "It's been hard for you these three years. I promised that no one would bully you again."

Ye Chenfeng then channeled a stream of soul power into Tang Xin's body, aiming to quickly dispel the medicine's effects. Before long, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

With his current Level 2 soul power, he was still too weak, and his body's constitution was far too poor. He hadn't even stabilized his Level 2 soul power yet!

Tang Xin, lying on the bed, looked at Ye Chenfeng with her big, blinking eyes. The strength in her body was gradually returning. After three years without seeing him, she felt that her brother Chenfeng's aura had changed, though she couldn't pinpoint exactly what was different. It was purely a woman's intuition.

When the emptiness inside her completely disappeared, Tang Xin immediately threw herself into Ye Chenfeng's arms, her voice tinged with tears and委屈 (grievance), saying, "Brother Chenfeng, where have you been these three years? Why didn't you come to see me? I thought you didn't want me anymore. Promise me, don't leave me again, okay?"

Tang Xin, who had grown up in an orphanage, was a strong and independent girl before she met Ye Chenfeng. But after he saved her once, the softness in her heart erupted uncontrollably. Which woman in this world would willingly bear the wind and rain alone? They were strong and independent because they hadn't yet met a man who could shelter them from the storms.

This time, Ye Chenfeng came to Tianhai specifically to visit the villa, intending to give Tang Xin her freedom. Tang Xin was a kind and innocent girl, and her future was still long. Ye Chenfeng didn't want to hinder her happiness.

But when he saw Tang Xin's misty eyes, all the words he had prepared were swallowed back. He really didn't know how to say it; deep down, he didn't want to see this lovable little girl sad.

"Xin'er, you're in college now, right? Have you met any boys you like at school? If you have, don't let them slip away. I support you," Ye Chenfeng said, changing his direct approach to a more indirect one.

"Brother Chenfeng, do you, do you not want me anymore?" Three years ago, Tang Xin had already decided that Ye Chenfeng was the only man in her life. She planned to marry him when she grew up. As a girl with a pure and beautiful appearance, she had many admirers at school, but her heart could no longer accommodate anyone else. From the moment Ye Chenfeng saved her, her heart was filled to the brim.

Ye Chenfeng shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Xin'er, I don't want to leave you. I will always be your Brother Chenfeng. But you're still young and should find your own love. Otherwise, you'll blame me in the future."

Tang Xin's side face rested on Ye Chenfeng's broad chest, breathing in the unique scent of a man. She looked up, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ye Chenfeng, and said, "Xin'er doesn't want you to be just my Brother Chenfeng. I want to marry you. I only like Brother Chenfeng. Even if you make me your secret lover, I'm willing."

Three years of longing had erupted in this moment, and Tang Xin had become more proactive. Three years ago, she was still a shy and blushing girl in front of Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng pinched Tang Xin's tender cheeks and said helplessly, "Silly girl, there are many good men out there. I, Ye Chenfeng, am not a good man. If you find a boy you like before you turn 25, go pursue your happiness. If you don't find anyone, I will always have a place for you by my side."

Tang Xin shook her head like a rattle drum, a smile on her lips, and said, "Brother Chenfeng, I won't like any other men. I want to be your little woman. I will make you fall in love with me."

"Alright, Xin'er, you should rest now," Ye Chenfeng said, noticing the fatigue on Tang Xin's face.

"Brother Chenfeng, I want to sleep in your arms," Tang Xin pouted, lying in Ye Chenfeng's arms, feeling warmth and endless security.

She soon fell asleep in his arms. Ye Chenfeng gently placed her back on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and a murderous intent suddenly appeared on his face.

He felt that if the matter with Qian Fei wasn't dealt with thoroughly, there would be endless trouble in the future, especially since he was going to the military training camp for a while. What if Qian Fei came looking for trouble during that time?

Qian Fei's father, Qian Yunhu, was a prominent figure in Tianhai. Over the years, he had committed many crimes, and local officials were in cahoots with him, which is why Qian Yunhu had always been safe.

Yunhu Group, founded by Qian Yunhu, appeared to be a regular business on the surface, but it was involved in smuggling and drug trafficking, making it a genuine criminal organization.

In the VIP ward of Tianhai Hospital.

Qian Yunhu was extremely angry. Qian Fei was his only son, whom he had always doted on. Now, his son had been kicked in the groin, losing his ability to have children. Wasn't this making Qian Yunhu's lineage extinct?

His anger surged, his face turning red. After ordering a few people to take care of his son, Qian Yunhu left the hospital and returned to Yunhu Group. He absolutely couldn't let this matter go. Who dared to challenge him, Qian Yunhu, who had made a name for himself in Tianhai? Wasn't this a sign that they were tired of living?

Qian Yunhu didn't believe that there was anyone in Tianhai he couldn't handle. He would definitely avenge his son and make the other party understand that it was fine to offend the King of Hell, but not him, Qian Yunhu.
