In the end, the confrontation ended with Ye Si's thigh wound splitting open and bleeding.
Ye Si was carried back to the room by Cheng Jinyan and lay crying in pain on the bed. The doctor who had been called in to treat his wound was kicked out by Ye Si before he could even touch it, leaving the wound to bleed freely.
Cheng Jinyan just watched him put on a show in bed, and even suggested to him, "The soundproofing in this house is good, you'll have to yell louder if you want Little Ying to hear you."
"Little Ying rarely gets angry, and I haven't seen her angry for a long time. This is all your doing, since you don't want the doctor then just keep hurting."
Ye Si sucked in a breath from the pain, then after a moment, swore at Cheng Jinyan, "You bastard, all you can do is talk crap."
"I told you to keep an eye on that guy surnamed Qin, and what were you doing? You let him into the darling's room and now what use are you, damn it."
"Just now you didn't help either, I ought to give you a kick or two."
Cheng Jinyan looked at Ye Si's thigh soaked with blood and laughed very schadenfreudly, "Go ahead."
Ye Si shook with anger, his hair all messed up, "I'm telling you now Cheng Jinyan, if you get too friendly with Qin Hanyue, I'm telling you we won't be brothers for over 20 years anymore."
Cheng Jinyan: "Seeing how you're acting now, and just before, Qin Hanyue is much more mature than you by far."
Ye Si: "Get the hell out of here!"
Cheng Jinyan turned around and left.
Ye Si: "Where the hell are you going?"
"I'm going to get you a crutch, do you have any preferences on the style? If not I'll just buy according to your taste, cripple."
Cheng Jinyan spoke without turning his head back.
Ye Si grabbed a pillow and threw it right at him.
He almost made the cultured lawyer Cheng swear.
Soon, Cheng Jinyan came back.
Seeing Qiao Ying following behind Cheng Jinyan, Ye Si, who had been lying in bed stewing in his own juices, immediately switched to an aggrieved face, "Baby, I hurt, hurt so bad."
He was just short of squeezing out a couple tears.
Cheng Jinyan shook his head at Qiao Ying, "Please hurry up and make sense of him, if you keep ignoring him, this guy's leg really will be crippled."
Qiao Ying went up to him, took the medical kit the doctor had left behind, and put on medical gloves. She used scissors to cut open the clothing around Ye Si's thigh wound, first giving him a few stitches to stop the bleeding.
Then she began treating the wound.
Seeing Qiao Ying's stony face ignoring him, Ye Si immediately launched into repentant words, his attitude extremely sincere: "Baby I was wrong, I shouldn't have been so impulsive just now."
You really ought to let the inexperienced Qin Hanyue come learn a thing or two from his apology method and tone.
"Baby don't be mad at me, look how my wound split open like this, I'm already punished."
"Just now I was anxious wasn't I, you didn't say that guy surnamed Qin was in your room, and the door was locked too, and he was tidying up clothes, I was worried he would bully you, worry you would suffer loss wasn't I."
Seeing Qiao Ying still ignoring him, Ye Si really looked like he would cry.
"Baby, you promise me, that you and Qin Hanyue won't have anything going on, and I'll treat him like a guest, I won't target him anymore."
Ye Si had a completely serious and earnest expression.
If Ye Si knew that not only were Qiao Ying and Qin Hanyue of one heart and mind, but in the past few days Qin Hanyue had been applying medicine for Qiao Ying every night, undoing the buttons on her clothes, and that half of the nourishing soups he made for Qiao Ying had gone into Qin Hanyue's stomach instead, Ye Si would definitely vomit blood and die on the spot.
Qiao Ying finally glanced at him.
Looking at Ye Si's pitiful pleading expression, Qiao Ying was speechless, only asking, "How is the wound on your arm?"
Ye Si: "It hurts, it really hurts. Baby you still haven't promised me yet."
Seeing Ye Si throwing a tantrum, while Qiao Ying just ignored Ye Si, Cheng Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he was quite worried Qiao Ying would directly tell Ye Si that she and Qin Hanyue were already together.
After finishing treating Ye Si's wound, Qiao Ying did not return to her own room but went downstairs instead.
Qin Hanyue was sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Hearing footsteps, Qin Hanyue stood up to look at her, his expression visibly relaxing as he slowly smiled.
"The weapons have arrived, do you want to take a look? I had them brought in." Qin Hanyue said to Qiao Ying.
Previously, Cheng Jinyan had always been indifferent towards Qin Hanyue, simply put he had no feelings about him. It wasn't until Qin Hanyue braved danger to help Qiao Ying escape that Cheng Jinyan's opinion of him improved. Seeing his genuine feelings for Qiao Ying, and finding no flaws otherwise, Cheng Jinyan thus had no intention of interfering in the two's relationship.
Hearing from Qiao Ying a few days ago that Qin Hanyue was traditional and reserved, Cheng Jinyan admired him a bit more, a good character.
And just now, when Ye Si pointed a gun at him, Qin Hanyue, for the greater good, did not take the opportunity to tell Ye Si about his relationship with Qiao Ying out of momentary satisfaction, nor did he take offense at Ye Si. Cheng Jinyan saw him in an even more favorable light.
Qiao Ying did not respond to Qin Hanyue, but said to Cheng Jinyan instead, "Go take a look outside, and have them bring in the materials for making explosives."
Cheng Jinyan tactfully left.
As soon as Cheng Jinyan was gone, Qin Hanyue immediately took two more steps forward to stand in front of Qiao Ying, "How is Ye Si's injury?"
Qiao Ying: "He almost killed you, and you're concerned about him?"
Qin Hanyue: "I don't actually want to care about him, I just don't want his injury to affect you."
Qiao Ying: "He was saying such nasty things just now, I thought you would tell him we've even kissed."
Qin Hanyue smiled and said, "I did want to tell him, but you're a girl, and Ye Si is your friend. I have to respect your wishes. I shouldn't take matters into my own hands without your permission, in case it puts you in an awkward position. Besides, aren't you considering Ye Si's injury?"
Qiao Ying: "So you'll just take his abuse and not say a thing?"
Qin Hanyue: "What he said doesn't faze me one bit. Moreover, in my opinion, I'm already the winner here, and that's the truth of it."
"Now is not the time to argue over these things with him. There is danger lurking all around this villa." He reached out and took Qiao Ying's hand from her pocket, grasping it in his own.
"We'll talk about other things after dealing with An Ying." Qin Hanyue's priorities were all centered around Qiao Ying.
He really was steady and broad-minded.
Qiao Ying looked at him silently for a moment before changing the subject, "How's your body feeling?"
Qin Hanyue nodded slightly, "I feel light all over now. Looks like I'll be able to sleep well tonight."
Just now in the room Qiao Ying had told him that needling and moxibustion were to detoxify his body and nourish his complexion, helping to prolong his life.
Suddenly Qiao Ying brought the conversation back around, "Do you feel wronged in your heart?" Her tone was devoid of emotion.
Qin Hanyue: "That you care about my feelings is already enough."
Qiao Ying: "So easy to pacify."
Qin Hanyue went along, smiling as he asked, "Then if I said I did feel wronged, would there be comfort?"
Qiao Ying looked at him expressionlessly.
Qin Hanyue was slightly let down, "Alright then." He continued, "Actually I'd rather others know about our relationship from your own mouth."
There were footsteps outside, probably Cheng Jinyan and the others.
Suddenly Qiao Ying said to him, "If you don't kiss me now, people will be here any second."
Qin Hanyue was startled for a moment before reacting. He quickly lowered his head to kiss her on the cheek.
As a result Qiao Ying said to him plainly, "No ambition, with a mouth yet kissing just the cheek."
Qin Hanyue: "......"
He felt he had missed out on thousands of opportunities.
But the people outside the villa had already come in.
