“Can I stop you? Would you abandon that girl if I said no to the marriage?” Ye Tang casually asked.

“I won’t!” Ye Kun answered resolutely. “I’ve thought it through; if you don’t accept us, I’ll run away from home. If you guys dislike Fang Xi, I won’t bring her home—I’ll elope with her!” Ye Kun blurted out his plans.

Ye Tang glared. “Run away from home? Ye Kun, I’ll break your legs if you dare to leave!”

Ye Kun instinctively retreated and subconsciously touched his legs as he retorted, “Then you and Mom shouldn’t try to separate us!”

Ye Tang didn’t know whether to laugh or get angry. “Do you know how Mom replied to Auntie Xi?”

Ye Kun shook his head. “Mom said that she believes in your taste. You’re an adult and can distinguish between good and bad. Auntie Xi was very unhappy when she left,” Ye Tang detachedly told him.

Ye Kun’s eyes lit up, and there was a dopey grin on his face. “I’ll go and thank

Mom!”

Ye Tang poured cold water on him, stating, “Don’t celebrate just yet. Even if

Mom and I don’t object, you two still have a long, difficult road ahead.”

Ye Kun nodded heavily and thought, ‘As long as you don’t stop me, I don’t care about the others at all!’

“Ye Kun!” Ye Tang called to his little brother, who was heading upstairs. Ye Kun turned around with a sunny expression and responded chirpily, “What is it,

“I had a small meeting today,” Ye Tang drawled. “It was to check up on the budget and year-end accounts of the various departments. I found out some departments were fudging their data to fool me.”

Ye Kun stared at his brother, attentively waiting for the rest of the story. Ye Tang adjusted his cufflinks and slowly continued, “It’s the end of the year. I don’t feel like scolding people. Go and settle this for me.”

“Are you serious, bro?” Ye Kun whined as his legs gave way, and he sat on the stairs.

Ye Tang smiled. ‘You should at least have a presentable identity when your girlfriend wakes up, right? If you settle this matter for me, I’ll put you on the board of directors next year.”

Ye Tang put one hand in his pocket and turned to leave suavely.

“Oh right, our family will pay for your girlfriend’s medical expenses, so get her the best doctors and treatment. Look for Yu Xin if you need anything. There’s no need to let Shi Nian spend money on ourfamily matters, and that girl shouldn’t have to rely on her friend’s financial help! She’s your fiancée, and if you dare to embarrass our family, I’ll break your legs!”

Ye Kun got up and shouted at his brother’s retreating figure, “Got it, Ye Tang!” The medical fee was a small matter; the main thing was his brother’s attitude. Ye Kun felt like he had a long and cool drink in the middle of summer; he was euphoric!

Ye Kun rushed to the hospital in high spirits after he buttered up his mother, feeling as if he were reborn. However, his good mood vanished the second he saw Xi Cheng.

Shi Nian and Yun Nan were finally discharged from the hospital today. Shi Nian’s parents and Chen Yao had come to pick them up, and Xi Cheng had also come. Xi Cheng looked extremely haggard; he’d lost a lot of weight, and his complexion was deathly pale.

Yun Nan turned her head away, blowing him off. She could never forgive Xi Cheng. It was only out of respect for the Shi family that she wasn’t chasing him out.

Xi Cheng knew that and didn’t try to talk to her. He greeted the elders and went to Shi Nian, asking, “Can I see Fang Xi?”

Before Shi Nian could answer, Yun Nan was already replying, “No! Please leave! You aren’t welcome here!”

With a pained expression, Xi Cheng had no choice but to face Yun Nan. “I know you have issues with me, but you guys don’t understand my relationship with Fang Xi. If Fang Xi’s awake, she’ll definitely be willing to see me. You can’t make her choice for her!”

Yun Nan stared at Xi Cheng and said, “Then you can wait for Fang Xi to wake up; you can go and see her when she says she’s willing to see you. I won’t make her choice for her!” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xi Cheng’s words caught in his throat at her retort. He could only ask Shi Nian for help. “Let me see her; just one peek.”

Shi Nian looked at Xi Cheng and sighed, “She hasn’t woken up yet. She’s unconscious. There’s no point in seeing her.”

Ye Kun’s voice suddenly sounded from the door. “Let him see her!”

Only then did everyone notice him and look over. Yun Nan was about to say something, but Ye Kun waved his hand and calmly stated, “I’ll go in with him, Yun Nan. He’s a stubborn man; he’ll pester us every day if we don’t let him see her. We don’t have the time or mood to bother with him. Fang Xi isn’t awake yet, anyway, so his visit won’t hurt her.” Yun Nan silently took a step back after she heard this. It could be counted as a tacit agreement.

In the intensive care unit, Fang Xi lay quietly on the bed, tubes stuck all over her body and surrounded by machines. Her face was bloodless under the oxygen mask..
