Ye Jinghuai returned to bed, and An Nuan had already fallen asleep. She had zero desire to get involved with anything concerning the two siblings. With eyes closed, she could feel Ye Jinghuai drawing near, his body pressing against hers tightly.
An Nuan pretended to be asleep.
"Wife," Ye Jinghuai called her by her ear.
She didn't respond.
"If you don't answer, I'll take that as consent," he said in a somewhat wicked voice as his hands started wandering inappropriately.
An Nuan's body tensed up.
She looked back at Ye Jinghuai, "What are you trying to do?!"
"Weren't you sleeping?"
"Ye Jinghuai!" An Nuan was furious.
She was already in a bad mood today, and he just had to provoke her like this.
Ye Jinghuai chuckled lightly as he embraced An Nuan in his arms. He didn't do anything overly intimate, just held her tightly.
He explained, "Although Ye Jingjing is not a good person, I can't just ignore her."
"She's your sister, of course you can't just ignore her," An Nuan said sarcastically.
Ye Jinghuai smiled. He didn't offer much explanation, only saying, "The Ye family has been good to me."
No kidding.
If your parents don't treat you well, then no one else in this world will either.
Also,
She wasn't angry at Ye Jingjing.
That wretched Ye Jingjing could only irritate her for a second or two. She could still remain composed when dealing with her.
What she was angry about was...
Thinking back to how Ye Jinghuai looked this afternoon, An Nuan still felt a bit annoyed in her heart.
She turned over with her back facing Ye Jinghuai.
"Didn't I promise you something before?" Ye Jinghuai asked.
An Nuan responded indifferently, "You've promised me many things, how would I know which one you're talking about?"
"I said that one day I would return to your side completely clean," Ye Jinghuai enunciated clearly.
An Nuan's heart stirred slightly.
"So don't be afraid," Ye Jinghuai embraced her from behind, burying his head in the crook of her neck, "I'm just me, not anyone else."
I'm just me?!
An Nuan didn't know if Ye Jinghuai was trying to explain that the him she saw was the real him, and he wouldn't change.
At least not with her.
That night, An Nuan thought about many things.
Her experiences from her past life made it really difficult for her to fully trust someone again.
She couldn't respond to Ye Jinghuai.
She was willing to believe him but couldn't do so without any reservations or misgivings.
That entire night.
Ye Jinghuai was unusually well-behaved.
No matter how much she thought about it, he still controlled himself in the end.
Probably afraid that he would truly hurt her.
Sometimes An Nuan even felt that although Ye Jinghuai was overbearing towards her, more often than not, he was actually incredibly cautious.
In her impression, she always felt that Ye Jinghuai was skilled in handling women. As long as he wanted to obtain something, nothing could elude him. Like her - she clearly had no feelings for him initially, yet still ended up falling into his world as they interacted more.
Clearly such a powerful and confident man, so why did she feel that he was always worried about losing her?
An Nuan really couldn't figure Ye Jinghuai out.
She didn't know what he was like in the world she couldn't see.
She suddenly didn't want to know what kind of person Ye Jinghuai was in that unseen world.
She only hoped
that he would completely detach himself from that world, and the Ye Jinghuai she faced would be the one right in front of her eyes.
The next day.
It was just getting light out.
Because of her insomnia last night, An Nuan was still fast asleep.
Ye Jinghuai probably didn't sleep well either.
In any case, he just held An Nuan all night without letting go, also tossing and turning restlessly.
Right at the moment when both of them were finally sleeping soundly, there came a knock on the door.
"Brother, sister-in-law."
An Nuan felt it was like a curse, making every cell in her body recoil.
She nudged Ye Jinghuai with her foot.
Signaling for him to go take a look.
Ye Jinghuai was also rather grumpy after just waking up. He got up from the bed unhappily and opened the door, his tone extremely unfriendly, "What is it?!"
Seeing Ye Jinghuai's aggressive manner, Ye Jingjing's eyes instantly turned red. "I just wanted to say good morning to brother and sister-in-law."
"Message received!" Ye Jinghuai said curtly before slamming the door shut forcefully.
Ye Jingjing's face turned green.
She knew her brother had always kept a distance from her, but he had never shown such obvious disgust towards her before. Ever since An Nuan appeared, her brother had changed completely.
She gritted her teeth.
Then turned and went downstairs.
Finally, the room became peaceful again.
But An Nuan suddenly couldn't fall back asleep.
Clearly she was extremely drowsy earlier, but it was hard to drift off again after being woken up in the morning.
She got up from the bed unhappily.
"What's wrong?" Ye Jinghuai saw that she was in a terrible mood.
For some unknown reason, he found this side of An Nuan to be adorable beyond measure.
With her messy bedhead and disheveled clothes.
"Can't fall back asleep," An Nuan said, throwing the covers off and getting out of bed.
Ye Jinghuai suddenly grabbed hold of her.
An Nuan was startled, and before she could react, Ye Jinghuai had pressed her under him on the bed. "Ye Jinghuai, what are you doing?!"
"Since you can't fall back asleep, and it's still early...let's finish up what we didn't get to do last night this morning instead," Ye Jinghuai said.
"Are you out of your mind?!"
"That's why I need you to cure me."
"..." One of these days, she was going to be angered to death by Ye Jinghuai.
"I heard that morning is good for conceiving."
As he spoke, Ye Jinghuai closed in on An Nuan.
An Nuan twisted her body, trying to resist.
Who wants to do...that this early in the morning!
"Don't move," Ye Jinghuai said softly by An Nuan's ear.
Damn it, if she didn't move her chastity would be gone!
Fine.
In front of Ye Jinghuai, she had no chastity left anyway.
"It'll startle the baby," Ye Jinghuai murmured.
Startle your sister!
The baby was probably still wandering somewhere in the clouds.
She viciously kicked out with her leg.
"Ah!" Ye Jinghuai immediately covered his body with his hands, his face instantly contorting in pain.
"Are you trying to make me impotent?!" Ye Jinghuai yelled loudly.
An Nuan was also frightened by Ye Jinghuai's reaction. She had only lightly, okay maybe with a bit more force, kicked out. Could it hurt that much for a man?
She hurriedly went over, "Is it serious? Should we go to the hospital?"
"Help me take a look first to see if it's swollen," Ye Jinghuai said with a completely serious expression.
Damn it!
This big gray wolf Ye Jinghuai!
An Nuan felt that one day, he would devour her until not even her bones remained.
But in the end, at the critical moment, An Nuan still pushed him away.
She said, "Ye Jinghuai, I think you should go to the hospital for an examination."
"I'm very healthy."
"Whether you're healthy or not is for the doctor to decide." An Nuan was very serious.
Ye Jinghuai's mood plummeted entirely.
"With how long we've gone without using protection and still no pregnancy, it's best we both get checked out first before taking further action," An Nuan stated directly, "Tomorrow, Saturday, I'll go with you to the hospital for an examination."
"..."
"It's settled then," An Nuan didn't care at all about Ye Jinghuai's feelings.
Anyway, some things just had to be faced.
She pushed Ye Jinghuai aside and got out of bed.
Glancing back at his crestfallen appearance, she inexplicably felt a bit of schadenfreude!
