After speaking, Ye Baixiu abruptly hung up the phone, fearing that his son would continue to push him to meet Song Chuanqi. He decisively pressed the power off button on his phone.
Compared to his sonâs happiness, Ye Baixiu felt that his own happiness was more important. Driven to desperation, he could only choose to be a terrible father.
When Ye Shiting tried calling him, he couldnât get through. That turned out to be a very awkward hospital visit. Ye Shiting and his partner Yi Yujian had to grit their teeth and sit there for twenty minutes before finally making an excuse to leave.
Ye Xingguang called Ye Junqing, anxious. âDo your parents not like me anymore?â
They had clearly agreed to visit her parents today, even discuss marriage. How did they change their minds so abruptly? It was embarrassing for her.
âStop overthinking things. Youâve saved their lives. If they didnât like you, why would they have so strongly opposed my marriage with Xia Yanyan last time?â Ye Junqing had no clue what was going on himself, but his voice was firm as he tried to reassure her.
âWasnât the last time a pretense?â
âOnly the siblings were in on the act. Our parents didnât know.â
âOh, thatâs good.â
Perhaps his parents really had something going on today. Ye Xingguang comforted herself.
âHave you arrived in R City yet?â
âI just got here not too long ago, missing me?â
She did miss him, but Ye Xingguang didnât voice it out loud. âMy Sister-in-law just told me that she wants me to join the Presidential Spokespersonâs team. She thinks I have the potential after seeing how I revised that document the other night. So she cordially invited me. What do you think?â
âWhat do you want?â
âNaturally, everyone wants to climb up the social ladder. Iâm quite excited about it. Now that my identity has been revealed, Iâm not sure whether Iâm the one interviewing people or if theyâre the ones interviewing me when I act as a reporter. Sometimes, when Iâm in the hospital, people look at me with curious eyes. It annoys me. The other day, when I went to another building to get a report for my dad, a nurse even asked me for my autograph and a photo.â
Just thinking about it gave Ye Xingguang a headache, and she couldnât resist murmuring, âI prefer the low-key life, but I canât help it when others make a fuss over me.â
Ye Junqingâs laughter came from the other end of the line. âThen just agree. As long as youâre happy doing it.â
As a reporter, she was always out covering stories, rain or shine. As a person sensitive to changes in weather, joining the Presidential Spokespersonâs team was indeed more suitable for her.
âIâll discuss it with your sister-in-law later. By the way, I looked up the weather in R city. It seems like it might get colder tonight. Remember to dress warmly, donât catch a cold. I donât know how youâd manage if your old illness recurs when youâre away.â
âHave you only just left, but already want to make me a remedy?â His deep voice was exceptionally suggestive.
Before, Ye Junqing could always bear the pain when his illness flared up, but now, he suddenly felt that without her by his side, he wouldnât be able to handle it. He wished he could simply turn her into a keychain and carry her with him at all times.
Ye Xingguang blushed, âWhat nonsense are you talking about, thatâs not what I meant at all. Now you, my dad, and my nephew Xiao Man all have the same illness, and thereâs no cure. Itâs so annoying.â
The most annoying thing was that she knew of a surefire cure, but she was powerless to utilize it. Damn Vampire Successor!
She better not catch him, or else sheâd make him pay dearly.
Ye Junqing stayed silent. Both of their illnesses were handed down from him. Actually, Ye Junqing knew a cure. The old man who saved him had said that as long as he assumed the role of Successor and married the queen of some kingdom, he would share the cure. However, he was unable to comply!
