My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1117: Fool

"Okay, we shall never part again!"

Even after trying so hard to push her away, he failed. He had accounted for his own ruthlessness but had not anticipated her perseverance.

Why not give oneself a chance for happiness? Even if it’s brief, it would be without regrets.

Perhaps, in the end, they could jointly overcome difficulties and grow old together!

The light in Third Young Master Jun’s eyes gradually brightened, and a surge of determination grew in his heart. He knew he couldn’t give up until the very end!

Now, he felt an even stronger, tenacious persistence to endeavor to keep living.

Because he had to live on for her and their child!

He had to try to protect them, to be with them.

...

After a night of turmoil, when Ye Lu awoke, she turned her head and saw Third Young Master Jun’s hospital bed across from her. They were no more than half a meter apart, and their gazes met instantly, his eyes full of tender affection.

Her heart instantly filled with immense happiness, warm and no longer wandering.

Simply because she knew she had attained the greatest happiness in the world, the best man for her.

"What are you grinning about?" Third Young Master Jun watched her unhappily but couldn’t help chuckling as he saw her child-like, sparkling eyes and the silly smile she couldn’t suppress. A indulgent tenderness rose in his eyes, as dark as night. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"I just feel like smiling."

Her heart bubbled over with happiness. True happiness was so simple—she couldn’t help but smile, a silly smile, just being happy to see him.

Third Young Master Jun gave her a speechless glance and couldn’t help but laugh, "Fool."

"Then you’re a fool, too." She glared back, indignant.

"How am I a fool?" retorted Third Young Master Jun, the naturally adored genius with off-the-charts IQ, his tone slightly dangerous and unsatisfied.

This woman had some nerve calling him a fool; seemed like she was asking for it.

Ye Lu lifted her chin proudly, "Because only a fool would pair with a fool, it’s like a crooked melon matched with a cracked date."

Third Young Master Jun looked at her, annoyed. She likened them to crooked melons and cracked dates and was still proud, clearly foolish.

"Come here." He motioned to her with his hand.

"What for?" Ye Lu asked, wary.

Third Young Master Jun grew frustrated. She dared to be so exasperating. He called her, and yet she didn’t move.

His eyes flickered, suddenly clutching his shoulder where he was shot, his expression one of pain.

Ye Lu’s face filled with shock, she jumped out of bed and ran to his side, deeply concerned, "What’s wrong, is your wound bothering you?"

Third Young Master Jun stretched out his arm and pulled her into his embrace with a devilish chuckle, pulling her onto the bed.

"You actually tricked me." Ye Lu was speechless.

"This is called ’all’s fair in war.’" Third Young Master Jun huffed. After all, she had deceived him so terribly the day before, and just thinking about it made his teeth itch.

Ye Lu fell silent. A man who held grudges—she looked at his still-bleeding wound and felt a pang in her heart. She obediently climbed onto the bed, carefully lying next to him without touching his wound.

"If we’re settling scores, I haven’t settled with you yet. You actually lied to me, said you didn’t love me anymore, it nearly broke my heart," Ye Lu recalled, fuming so much that she could only glare at him with burning eyes, her anger seething.

But love in her eyes still dominated over annoyance, devoid of any threat.

Third Young Master Jun’s smile grew even more brilliant as he dominantly drew her into his embrace, bowing his head to kiss her hair.

"You think I wasn’t heartbroken? Seeing you cry hurt me even more, and you kept crying like a raging flood."

Third Young Master Jun remembered her utterly despairing expression, and his heart still trembled with pain.

"You’re the raging flood, that’s what you get." Ye Lu huffed.

Third Young Master Jun gritted his teeth; this woman with the sharp tongue. But seeing her this happy and sweet filled him with happiness, yet an intense longing and reluctance lingered even more.

"Now that you’ve chosen to be with me, no matter what happens in the future, you mustn’t regret it and must live on even stronger," he said seriously and earnestly.

"What are you talking about?" Ye Lu asked, puzzled.
