“What’s the matter with you? And at a time like this!” Ye Xingguang glared at him, then reached into her pocket to fetch her cell and call the butler.

Ye Junqing did not stop her from making the call, his deep gaze fell on her delicate face, clearly enjoying her concern at this moment.

What if each bout of illness bought her concern? Who cares if he was sick every single day?

After dialing the number, Ye Xingguang pulled Ye Junqing to sit down on the single seater sofa. If the man made any move, she would promptly extend her hand, point at his nose, and warn, “I’m telling you, if you try anything unseemly again, you won’t need to jump off the building, I’ll push you off myself.”

Ye Junqing smiled, his long legs sprawled, lazily sitting on the single seater, watching her, “Have you fallen for me, why are you so concerned about my fate?”

“What nonsense! This is nothing more than humanitarian spirit!” Ye Xingguang uncomfortably swept back her fringed hair, her tone lacked conviction, but she forcefully retorted, “We haven’t settled our scores yet. Once you are better we will!”

Soon, the butler brought up a cup of hot water himself, standing at the door knocking.

Ye Xingguang opened the door and said, “Give it to me. And don’t allow anyone to come up unless I call.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The new butler nodded and retreated.

Ye Xingguang brought the cup of hot water to Ye Junqing, saying, “Look closely, this is water, not blood! Here, take it!”

Had this man not been so adamant about not drinking blood, she really didn’t want him to see her preparing the medicine.

When Ye Junqing took the hot water from her hand, Ye Xingguang immediately took off a blood-red bead hanging from her neck, washing it in the bathroom before placing the bead straight into the hot water held by Ye Junqing.

She said: “Wait for five minutes.”

“What’s this?” Ye Junqing squinted, uncertain of her intentions.

Ye Xingguang said: “This is a medicinal bead. Although it might not help with other ailments, it can effectively suppress your blood-drinking urges. How did you get this illness?”

Ye Xingguang was truly curious.

“Nothing, just an accident.” Ye Junqing did not want to talk about it, nor did he want her to know the cause of his illness, he will never let her know in his lifetime!

As they needed to wait for five minutes, Ye Xingguang, not wanting to sit idle, initiated a conversation with the cold man: “How long have you had this illness?”

“Ten years.”

“In ten years have you not drunk any blood?”

His bodyguard had said, because of his reluctance to drink blood, he had shut himself away, even locked himself in. If that’s true, then how much willpower did it need?

Ye Junqing, brow furrowed, eyes squinting at the cup in his hand. The transparent hot water was now gradually turning red.

A faint scent of blood, accompanied by the rising heat of the water, entered his nose.

He frowned, “Are you sure this isn’t the smell of blood?”

“There is a seaweed in the ocean that has a smell extremely similar to blood. This bead was grown amidst such seaweed and has thus taken on the smell. Although it smells like blood, it is by no means the smell of blood. I wouldn’t harm you, nor would I go against your wishes and deceive you into drinking blood, believe me.”

Ye Junqing was skeptical.

Five minutes later, the smell of blood was getting stronger, the overpowering scent caused the handsome and arrogant man to furrow his brow.

Ye Xingguang fetched a pair of chopsticks and fished the bead out of the cup, then she said to Ye Junqing, “Drink up, while it’s hot. After drinking it, your craving for blood will be temporarily suppressed.”
