Chapter 402: Women Are Made of Water
"Oh no! It’s their own little world, if you go in, you’ll just be a third wheel."
Lu Kun clicked his tongue, thinking that Kong Lingwen was already a married man, how could he not understand this? Maybe Xiao Yuqi and Miss Ye are already hugging and kissing, how awkward it would be to go in now.
"Forget it, we’re not going in, as long as we know Miss Ye is safe, that’s enough."
Chu Xiaoyu realized what’s happening inside and turned to go downstairs.
Kong Lingwen, realizing later, felt awkward and a bit sour inside, his face displeased as he left.
Inside the dormitory, Ye Ling’Er finally stopped crying, looking pitifully at Yang Cheng.
"Why so many tears, no wonder they say women are made of water."
Yang Cheng chuckled lightly, raising his hand to wipe her tears.
"I was so scared to death, you don’t know how the knife almost stabbed my heart, I almost never got to see you again."
Ye Ling’Er was extremely frightened, her mind went blank in that instant, paralyzed with fear, unable to dodge in time.
If Lu Kun hadn’t arrived with people in time, she would have already become a corpse.
"Yang Cheng, you catch that person trying to kill me, I want to tear him to pieces!"
She said with gritted teeth; she thought after one failed assassination, they’d at least lay low for a few days, but they dared to make a move in broad daylight.
"I’m sure the assassin from yesterday and this time weren’t the same person. Yesterday’s assassin was evidently very skilled, if she made a move today, a few security guards wouldn’t have been able to stop her. The reason she didn’t come today is because she was injured, didn’t dare to take the risk, so she sent others instead."
"It won’t take long for that assassin to recover, and she’ll definitely come to assassinate you again, so I’ll be protecting you closely these days."
Yang Cheng lowered his gaze, looking at her plump lips and full bosom, unable to resist swallowing hard.
Ye Ling’Er noticed his increasingly heated gaze and playfully scolded, "Why are you staring at me like that, don’t think about those unhealthy things!"
"Injustice! Why don’t you tell me what unhealthy things I’m thinking about."
Yang Cheng deliberately teased her.
"You know it in your heart; I won’t say it!"
Ye Ling’Er pushed his chest a little, her body twisting slightly, but she forgot she was sitting on Yang Cheng, and accidentally pressed down on his lap as she moved.
"Um~ You...don’t press against me."
Her voice was coy, shyly lowering her head, only to see his pants taut as if a beast was about to burst out.
"You have the nerve to speak, if you didn’t touch me first, would I become like this?"
Yang Cheng’s voice was somewhat hoarse, feeling a rush of heat rising within him.
"You lie down and rest first, I’ll go take a shower to cool down."
Yang Cheng placed her on the bed and got up to head to the bathroom but was pulled back by Ye Ling’Er.
"If it’s really uncomfortable, I can help you."
Ye Ling’Er murmured softly, her face reddening like it could drip blood.
"No need, you rest first, I’ll stay in the dorm with you tonight, you can have a good sleep."
Yang Cheng gently brushed her hand aside and went straight into the bathroom.
He was brimming with vitality and couldn’t withstand Ye Ling’Er’s kind of beauty’s teasing, reacting was utterly normal; a cold shower would help cool him down.
Ye Ling’Er looked towards the bathroom, nibbling her lips shyly, she had been so proactive, yet this infuriating man wouldn’t play along.
Earlier that morning, he was still hiding under the covers with a hand, calling her name, and now acting like a righteous gentleman!
Ye Ling’Er kept grumbling inwardly, slapping the bed angrily.
After lying down, she started thinking. Today she had a call with her mother, finding out that her mom also suspected the poisoning had something to do with Murong Hai.
Earlier, when Yang Cheng said it was likely Murong Hai, she wouldn’t believe it, but after everything that happened, she gradually realized something was wrong.
Ever since her mother was poisoned, Jiulong Mountain Villa was handed over to Murong Hai for management, if her mom never recovers, Jiulong Mountain Villa would completely become Murong Hai’s domain.
Now, just after she managed to form the Elixir Embryo, she was repeatedly attacked, so the assassin must be trying to destroy the Elixir Embryo, aiming for her and her mother’s lives.
It seems only Murong Hai has the motive, and she had once mentioned to Murong Hai about forming the Elixir Embryo to cure her mother.
The more Ye Ling’Er thought, the more terrified she became, now the most dangerous isn’t her, but rather her mom.
At this moment, Yang Cheng came out of the bathroom, only wrapped in a towel, revealing his toned chest and abs, with water droplets sliding down along the muscles.
"Ah! Why aren’t you wearing clothes!"
Ye Ling’Er exclaimed in surprise, but her eyes were glued to him, helplessly swallowing.
Yang Cheng was amused by her appreciative look, striding over, helplessly said, "I have no change of clothes, obviously, I’d just use a towel."
"Then you also don’t wear clothes to sleep at night, wouldn’t it be awkward for us to sleep together!"
Ye Ling’Er realized she’s been staring at his body, quickly turning her face away.
"Who said we are sleeping together, there’s another bed over there."
Yang Cheng pointed to the bed next to them, he specifically instructed Lu Kun to leave a bed so they could sleep in the same room but not in the same bed.
He really didn’t want to sleep with Ye Ling’Er, it would just be torture.
Ye Ling’Er pouted her lips, huffed, and turned away, ignoring him.
The sky gradually darkened, and Yang Cheng didn’t have time to buy medicine, so he called Xiao Yuqi, asking her to keep some herbs for him and bring them to the factory dormitory when she had the time.
He didn’t have time to make Cooling Scar Cream today, so he could only wait until tomorrow morning to get the herbs and quickly make it to deliver to the victims.
The sky gradually darkened, and Yang Cheng remained in a light sleep, while Ye Ling’Er tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
"Yang Cheng, earlier you said you suspected Murong Hai poisoned my mom, it’s too dangerous for her to continue living at Jiulong Mountain Villa, how about you bring her out too."
Ye Ling’Er suddenly voiced out.
"You suspect Murong Hai too, don’t you? I reminded Manor Master Ye when I went to Jiulong Mountain Villa, she has many bodyguards by her side, Murong Hai wouldn’t dare lay hands directly, plus she has a trump card unused, you don’t need to worry."
Yang Cheng was so assured because he realized long ago that Ye Xixue’s poisoning was quite peculiar, the real aim did not seem to be killing Ye Xixue, rather controlling her.
The fact that they attempted to assassinate Ye Ling’Er multiple times without ever making a move on Ye Xixue supports his assumption, hence Ye Xixue should be safe for now.
Ye Ling’Er breathed a sigh of relief, though she still couldn’t sleep, feeling like something might still happen.
As time ticked by, both Yang Cheng and Ye Ling’Er were drifting into sleep, when suddenly a strange sound reached his ears.
