Ye Mingmei had just tried to push him away when Yu Xiuzhun pinned her against the wall, lowered his head, and captured her lips.

"Mmm!"

Ye Mingmei glared at him furiously, but Yu Xiuzhun ignored her anger, moving even closer to completely trap her in his arms.

Before Ye Mingmei could go berserk, he smoothly stepped back.

"Now I believe it."

"..."

Ye Mingmei hadn’t had a chance to lash out with rage before Yu Xiuzhun mildly parted his lips, his gaze sweeping over her flushed cherry lips, deepening the look in his eyes.

If it weren’t for his concerns about her pregnancy, he had almost lost control earlier.

He believed it? Believed what?!

This bastard clearly took advantage of her and is trying to make excuses!

Just as Ye Mingmei was about to erupt, something flashed through her mind, and she looked at him in shock.

What he believed was...

"Bitter medicine is hard to swallow, just endure a bit longer." Yu Xiuzhun seemed to see through her confusion, tenderly rubbing her little head.

Ye Mingmei finally understood; he kissed her to see if she had taken the medicine.

Chinese medicine is so pungent that even if she rinsed her mouth dozens of times, the taste wouldn’t easily dissipate.

He tasted the bitterness in her mouth, which is why he said he believed it.

"You said I’m as if I’m terminally ill; I said I don’t feel uncomfortable anywhere. Yu Xiuzhun, I want to go to work, can you please move?" Ye Mingmei looked at him with some helplessness.

Yu Xiuzhun adopted a very humble stance, almost coddling her, and Ye Mingmei could definitely feel it.

She was just very confused about why he suddenly became a different person, limiting this and forbidding that, what was his purpose?

"There’s no shortage of people at the Ye Corporation, there’s no need for you to work when you’re unwell."

"I didn’t say Ye Group can’t do without me, I just lay in the hospital for a week, my bones are going stiff, I just want to go out, get some fresh air."

"If staying at home bores you, I’ll accompany you to the park for a walk, or wherever you want to go, I’ll take you out." Yu Xiuzhun pulled her hand and turned to head towards the sports car.

"Yu Xiuzhun, you obviously don’t have the time, you don’t need to accompany me." Ye Mingmei tried to withdraw her hand, but Yu Xiuzhun held it tightly and wouldn’t let go.

She could see his assistant hadn’t left at all, just standing nearby anxiously waiting.

Yu Xiuzhun must have something urgent to handle; how could he have time to stroll around with her?

"What could be more important than you right now?" Yu Xiuzhun halted, turned back, and looked at her seriously.

"..."

Ye Mingmei’s heart skipped a beat, and she was a bit dumbfounded.

Did she just hear things?

She actually heard such words from Yu Xiuzhun... Isn’t he solely focused on profit, with leading the Yu family to the First family position as his only goal?

"No need, I still have work..."

"I’ll take you home first to change your shoes."

Yu Xiuzhun interrupted her, glanced down at the high heels on her feet, and furrowed his brow tightly.

If he could, he’d want to take her shoes off right now.

"I don’t need you to accompany me; as long as I don’t see you, I won’t feel uncomfortable." Ye Mingmei retracted her hand, dodging Yu Xiuzhun’s touch.

Noticing his darkening expression, she almost explained, but swallowed the words back down.

She couldn’t entangle with Yu Xiuzhun any longer...

Ye Mingmei clutched her bag tightly, and seeing Yu Xiuzhun not stopping her, she quickly passed him and headed towards the elevator.
