Chapter 528: Chapter 528 Who will warm your bed if I leave?_1
As she continued talking, her voice choked up with a feeling of injustice and sadness welling up in her heart. Biting her lip, she shot him a glance filled with anger. She was really exhausted, barely able to keep her eyes open. She had no energy to bicker with this despicable man!
She regretted not just letting him burn with the fever. If he had died from it, she could’ve found someone else like Lin Hanfeng, who seemed decent enough.
Ye Junqing, stunned, caught her in action, forcefully pulled her back into his embrace. “What did you say? For me? What for me?”
Ye Xingguang refused to respond. She tried to push him away, then kick him when that didn’t work. Ye Junqing held her tightly, “Explain yourself clearly!”
Her heart brimming with misery, Ye Xingguang glared at him defiantly. “Weren’t you the one with a high fever? Weren’t you the one bitten by a giant wolf? The transfusion for wolf bite poison can’t reduce your fever. I know an old remedy, but it needed a herb that isn’t sold here in the capital. My home just happens to have it. So, I was rushing home to get the medicine. I didn’t think of all the vile thoughts you’re assuming! Let me go, don’t hold me. I don’t want your embrace, I don’t ever want to be in your arms…”
By the end of her tirade, she couldn’t continue. Her voice stifled with sorrow, lodged in her throat.
Ye Junqing seemed unable to believe it. After mulling over it for a while, he asked uncertainly, “So, you went home to get the medicine for me, not because you were chasing after Li Yu?”
“Chasing after Brother Li Yu? Why would I do that? I had no idea he also left the capital. I only found out about his sudden departure when we met at the T City pier. If you don’t believe me, so be it! Anyways, I don’t care about a rotten man who doesn’t trust me!”
The words ‘I don’t care about’ sent a panic through Ye Junqing’s heart.
After finishing her rant, she sneezed again, “Ah-choo—”
In the next moment, Ye Junqing immediately stripped off her damp sleepwear.
Ye Xingguang mistook his intentions. “What are you doing? Don’t dare touch me, or I’ll kick you all the way to Siberia!”
How dare he try to take advantage of her after he’d misunderstood her so?
After Ye Junqing removed her damp clothes, he pushed her cold body into the quilt, and he crawled in himself, wrapping her in the blanket to warm her chilled body. He even tried to offer his arm as a pillow for her.
But Ye Xingguang felt wronged and furious. She didn’t care for his gesture, pushing away his arm and turned her back to him.
From behind, Ye Junqing pulled her into his embrace. Ye Xingguang shoved him violently, “Get off, you smelly man, don’t hold me!”
Ye Junqing remained silent but didn’t let go, obstinately holding her tightly in his arms. He pressed her cold back against his body, which was still burning from fever, a human heater that could provide her with warmth.
She was reluctantly drawn to this warmth, but the thought of his distrust made her eyes sting, her tone huffy: “What are you holding me for? Just go, get out of my sight so out of my mind!”
Ye Junqing flipped her around and held her more tightly against his chest. “I won’t go. If I leave, who will keep you warm at night? If you hadn’t been so close to Li Yuyuan, I wouldn’t have had wild thoughts.”
“So you’re blaming your delusions on me?” Ye Xingguang couldn’t believe he still wasn’t taking responsibility.
Ye Junqing remained silent. In his heart, he blamed it all on that scoundrel Li Yu. Perhaps, Li Yu intentionally set a trap tonight, just waiting for him to fall into it!
