My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 801: I Only Ask You One Thing
Ah, Third Young Master Jun furrowed his brows, overly pleased with himself, which made his wound throb in pain.
He slept for a while longer before waking up again to find Ye Lu already sitting on the chair beside his bed.
She wore a thoughtful expression, her demeanor calm and her gaze indifferent. Even though she sat so close, she emanated a sense of distance, like a dream appearing before one’s eyes, yet ungraspable.
Third Young Master Jun’s heart trembled inexplicably. He disliked this feeling, as if she might leave at any moment.
Irritated, he narrowed his eyes and stretched out his large palm to forcefully and dominantly grasp her hand resting by the bed. Only upon feeling the warmth of her hand did he experience a sense of reality beyond a dream.
"It hurts..." Ye Lu furrowed her brows, snapping back to reality and glaring annoyed at the man on the bed. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Clearly sick, weak as a dying fish, yet he still gripped her so forcefully.
"Hmph, if it didn’t hurt, how would you snap back to your senses? I’ve woken up, yet you had no reaction. Who allowed you to ignore me like this!"
He would not allow her to overlook his presence; he needed to intensely exist in her sight, her hearing, her heart. She was not to think of anyone else, only him. Her heart and eyes should be filled solely with his presence.
Only then could he feel that she cared about him.
Ye Lu looked at his child-like expression and was speechless.
"You’re not a piece of gold that shines all the time. Who would keep staring at you?"
"I am far more valuable than gold. Only you could be so foolish to compare me to something as worthless as gold and not hold on tightly." Third Young Master Jun spoke disdainfully. Even if he, Third Young Master Jun, were priced by weight, it would definitely be at diamond rates.
Ye Lu’s eyes twitched. Diamond indeed—he was nothing but a narcissistic beast.
"I was merely thinking about some matters just now. I want to explain last night’s situation to you. Things are not as you all think."
She had been pondering how to phrase it so that this man with a terrible temper and strong possessiveness could be pacified.
Given his character, he would surely be furiously enraged, aggressively questioning her, forcing her to explain everything, and threatening to forbid her from having any further contact with Hua Lunxi.
She was mentally prepared to face the storm he would unleash.
Fortunately, this tyrant was now too weak to do anything but lie in bed—no matter how furious, he couldn’t jump up to choke her.
Third Young Master Jun’s expression darkened instantly.
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold.
Ye Lu tensed her back, waiting for his sarcastic or furious questioning.
"No need to explain. I’ll just ask you one question." Third Young Master Jun spoke coldly and dominantly, his deep, dark eyes reflecting a bone-deep stubbornness, "Do you have any romantic feelings for that man? If you dare to lie to protect him, I will kill him!"
The last sentence carried a calm yet silent killing intent.
Ye Lu was shocked, very surprised.
She was surprised that he did not explode in anger and also surprised that, unlike his usual delving interrogations, his approach this time was quite out of the ordinary.
"No." How could she possibly have romantic feelings for her own brother? That would be incest, wouldn’t it?
Of course, this was something she couldn’t tell him.
"Good," Third Young Master Jun said tersely, "let’s leave the matter at that."
"You really don’t need to hear my explanation?" Ye Lu was absolutely stunned. He had just asked her that one question, and, after her simple denial, he’d let her off so easily.
This was too inconceivable and not at all in his usual manner.
Third Young Master Jun coolly raised an eyebrow, his slender eyes conveying a hint of threat: "You seem very eager to explain, so go ahead and explain. If it doesn’t satisfy me, you’re dead."
Ye Lu glared, who would bring trouble upon themselves? She swiftly slipped away.
