Chapter 531: Chapter 531 I Deserve It_1
All the noise and the conversation between the two fell on Pei Pei’s ears. Suppressing a chuckle, she walked over and took Lan Di’s hand, "You’re a grown man. How can you behave like a child?"
Lan Di grumbled, "I went through so much trouble to help them, and they still claimed that I owe them. That’s outrageous!"
Pei Pei smiled sweetly, her hand gently smoothed out the slight wrinkles on Lan Di’s forehead, and she spoke in a soothing voice, "He was joking, can’t you see?"
Lan Di opened his mouth, unable to refute it.
Pei Pei continued to tease, "Weren’t you just joking too?"
Lan Di remained speechless. Of course, his previous comment that it wasn’t his problem if they couldn’t make it on time was also a joke. Having finally received the answer he wanted, he hoped deep down that they could make it, but Ye You’s mouth was truly unbearable.
Naturally, this was Lan Di’s thought. In Ye You’s heart, he knew that Lan Di had been of great help, but that mouth of his was too destructive.
Pei Pei lightly shook Lan Di’s arm, speaking in a gentle voice, "Alright, don’t be angry anymore. Try the tea I just made and see if it’s good."
Her shimmering eyes and the gentle, sweet smile effortlessly lifted the anger and frustration from Lan Di’s heart. He suddenly pulled Pei Pei into his arms, whispering seductively into her ear, "I don’t want tea. I want you."
The buzzing in her ears made Pei Pei’s body soften. With her blush covering her entire face, she managed to push Lan Di away, whispering, "No, Qing Meng and Bai Lian are still outside."
Lan Di held Pei Pei tighter and looked sternly at the two people in the living room.
Qing Meng and Bai Lian exchanged panicked glances and quickly put down their tea, slinking out of Lan Di’s house.
Better if you know your place.
Lan Di silently ridiculed, bending over to sweep Pei Pei off her feet and headed towards the comfortable bed...
Qin Sisi and Ye You were holding hands, their eyes tightly shut, surrounded by a whirlwind of sound. It felt as if they were flying at high speed, with the howling wind in their ears.
This sensation didn’t last long. Soon, she felt a lightness wash over her. Her eyes were still closed, yet she could feel the brightness before her.
She carefully opened her eyes, looking at the familiar scene in front of her. She glanced at Ye You standing next to her, a smile of relief spread across her face, and she let out a long sigh.
Ye You gave her hand a reassuring squeeze, whispering, "Let’s go."
They arrived at their bedroom. Their bodies were still lying quietly on the bed, as though they were sleeping.
Upon seeing the black cat, a sense of reluctance welled up in Qin Sisi’s heart. When their souls return to their bodies, Ye You would transform back into a black cat.
Seeing Qin Sisi’s sentiment, Ye You turned around and held her tightly in his arms, whispering, "Soon, just four more months to endure."
"Hmm." Qin Sisi felt a tug at her heart and softly responded.
Ye You lowered his head and gently held Qin Sisi’s chin. His temptation to kiss her lips was overpowering, but he feared that once they touched, he wouldn’t want to stop.
He knew Qin Sisi was reluctant, but wasn’t he too?
Finally, steeled himself and let go of Qin Sisi, he took her hand and drifted onto the bed, returning to their respective bodies.
Twenty minutes later, the black cat Ye You was the first to open his eyes. Despite his severe injuries, his Mana was still much stronger than Qin Sisi’s.
Seeing that Qin Sisi was still motionless beside him, Ye You raised his paw and conjured a green glow to envelop her, aiding the fusion of her soul and body.
A few minutes later, Qin Sisi also slowly opened her eyes.
Her eyelashes fluttered and she suddenly recalled something. She abruptly sat up, only to find her body feeling stiff and numbed as if it wouldn’t move to her will.
Ye You explained, "Your soul and body just fused, you’re bound to feel a bit off. It will pass after a while."
After saying this, Ye You took a pill out of his Portable Space and handed it to Qin Sisi, saying, "Eat this Primordial Spirit Pill. It will speed up the recovery of your body."
Qin Sisi nodded in agreement, put the Primordial Spirit Pill in her mouth, then anxiously asked, "How much time do we have left?"
Ye You picked up Qin Sisi’s phone from the bedside table. Both of them quickly glanced at it. It was exactly midnight.
Their faces slightly changed, they exchanged a look, immediately jumped off the bed, and ran towards the balcony.
As soon as Qin Sisi opened the window, Ye You had already cast the Invisible Bubble and then jumped onto her shoulder.
Qin Sisi took a running leap and swiftly jumped off, shouting, "Wings of Rainbow." Giant, colorful wings immediately materialized behind her, concealed by the Invisible Bubble. She sped towards the hospital at an incredible pace.
However, since her soul had just merged with her body, her balance didn’t seem fully restored. Qin Sisi failed to reach her top speed, and her heart grew increasingly anxious.
Upon reaching the hospital, Qin Sisi retracted her Wings of Rainbow and sprinted towards Liu Ying’s hospital room with the speed she’d run an 800-metre race in school.
With a loud "bang", the hospital room’s door was forced open. Liu Ying put down a small plastic bottle she was holding, looking stunned at the empty doorway.
Qin Sisi closed the door, Ye You withdrew the Invisible Bubble, revealing the two of them.
Looking at the noticeably disheveled Qin Sisi, a faint smile appeared on Liu Ying’s face. Speaking softly, she said, "You finally came. Quite coincidentally, I just took a deadly poison. I still have a few minutes left to hear the answer you brought back for me."
The color drained from Qin Sisi’s face, realizing that Liu Ying wouldn’t lie at this moment, she did not dare to waste time, hurrying to recount what Han Zhikun had confessed in the Hall of Yama.
"The mere sight of her made me feel so suffocated..."
"I was jealous of her, jealous that she was wealthier than me, more capable than me at work, better than me at handling social affairs..."
"I injected a therapeutic drug into the litchis I bought, gave them to her to eat. Seeing how she enjoyed them, and kept thanking me, it seemed to alleviate some of my suffocation..."
"If she falls ill, she won’t be able to work, she’ll be weak and dependent on me, she won’t be so strong and capable anymore."
"Even if she dies, it’s okay. Without her brilliance, everyone will see my efforts. I will rise to greatness step by step."
...
Each ruthless statement hit Liu Ying like sharp blades, ripping her apart and leaving deep painful wounds.
I am your wife; I have given you my all. How could you treat me like this?
With tears trickling from her eyes, Liu Ying managed a smile and stared at Sisi, gritting her teeth she said, "You know what? If his answer was that he fell in love with someone else, I could understand. But jealousy...? That’s something I can’t accept.
But what can I do? I was just a fool, incapable of telling fact from fiction... I deserve it, I...deserve..."
