"I haven’t!"

Ye Mingmei bit her lip hard, not wanting to continue discussing this topic with him.

Every time she thought about what Qin Youxuan said, she felt an indescribable discomfort.

She wanted to persuade Yu Xiuzhun, but he simply wouldn’t listen.

"Yes, you have! You’re in love with me." Yu Xiuzhun’s face gleamed with joy as he spoke with undeniable authority.

His eyes were filled with absolute confidence.

Days of exhaustion vanished entirely with this realization.

"I haven’t! Let go of me!" Ye Mingmei forcefully shoved him, her body retreating sharply to the side, glaring at him fiercely.

"Yu Xiuzhun, so what if I am in love with you? We’re not from the same world. I don’t approve of anything you do, and I will never accept it. Sooner or later, we’ll end up on opposite sides."

"..."

"Stop now, it’s not too late." Ye Mingmei looked at him earnestly, her eyes filled with indescribable fear.

She was afraid he would become an enemy of her family, and even more afraid Yu Xiuzhun would get deeper and deeper, unable to extricate himself.

"It’s too late." Yu Xiuzhun’s gaze was deeply insightful.

"It’s not too late, as long as you are willing to turn back, it’s never too late!"

"Enough!" Yu Xiuzhun reached out and pinched her chin, his eyes revealing a trace of fierceness, "Did Qin Youxuan send you to convince me? She’s worried Dan Hanjie can’t beat me, and even used you."

"It’s not like that..."

"You’re too naive, easily deceived by Qin Youxuan. Don’t worry, I’ll handle these matters, you don’t need to think about anything, just stay by my side at ease."

Yu Xiuzhun stretched out his arms to circle her thin body, holding her tenderly in his embrace.

"You should eat more, being too thin is not good for your health." Not good for the baby either.

Yu Xiuzhun’s gaze slightly deepened.

"Yu Xiuzhun, listen to me..." Ye Mingmei moved, trying to persuade him, but Yu Xiuzhun gave her no chance to speak further.

A numbness on her neck, and she fainted in his arms.

"Sleep, you’ll feel better when you wake up."

Yu Xiuzhun held her properly, allowing Ye Mingmei to rest comfortably against his chest, lowering his head to plant a kiss on her brow.

Enveloped in tender affection. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

The assistant quickly returned to the car and drove back to the Yu family.

Ye Mingmei slept deeply.

Being naturally prone to sleep, this slumber felt like a century, and when she awoke, her head was in a daze.

She opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling for a while before her mind slowly cleared.

With a start, she sat up abruptly from the bed.

Turning her head, she saw the surroundings—both unfamiliar and familiar—if not Yu Xiuzhun’s room, where else could it be?

Yu Xiuzhun had abducted her again...

This man simply didn’t understand what respect meant!

"You’re awake, are you hungry? I asked someone to prepare food for you. I’ll carry you downstairs to eat." Yu Xiuzhun was standing on the balcony smoking, and as soon as he heard movement in the room, he immediately put out his cigarette and stepped in.

"Don’t come near me."

Ye Mingmei wrinkled her nose, disdainfully stepping back a few paces.

"..."

Yu Xiuzhun paused in his steps, looked down at himself, then looked up at Ye Mingmei.

"It’s my fault, I won’t smoke at home again. You go downstairs to eat first, I’ll take a shower." Yu Xiuzhun said and then turned to enter the bathroom.

Ye Mingmei stood alone in the spacious room, feeling a bit stunned.

She didn’t expect Yu Xiuzhun would really go take a shower just for her...

She actually didn’t hate the smell of smoke that much, she just disliked that they were so close even though they were nothing to each other.
