Chapter 190 – Living Together

Chapter 190 - Living Together

Su Youyue suddenly noticed that as her words left her mouth, Xie Yuan's expression turned grim.

She instantly swallowed the rest of her words.

Had she been too arrogant in front of Xie Yuan these days, to the point where she almost forgot how terrifying he could be when angry in her previous life?

Back then, she was always cautious around him. Unlike now... She had nearly forgotten that the current Xie Yuan was no longer the little slave she could bully at will. He was now Secretary Xie.

Seeing that Xie Yuan seemed angry, Su Youyue hesitated for a moment before softly saying, "Okay."

In their previous lives, they had both been honest with each other. Why should she care about this?

He had seen her in much more embarrassing states.

As she changed her tune, the man's eyes finally softened.

The atmosphere was tense when Doctor Ji spoke up again, his tone earnest and solemn, "I say, Secretary Xie, you're not wooing a lady like this. Who do you think you're trying to scare!"

"..."

Xie Yuan gave Doctor Ji an extra glance, seemingly displeased with his lack of boundaries.

But Doctor Ji ignored the murderous look in his eyes and continued, "Glaring at me won't help. Glaring at me won't get you a wife!"

"Cough..." Hearing this, Su Youyue couldn't help but cough.

This Doctor Ji really spoke without any reservations.

"Secretary Xie, how are you planning to arrange Doctor Ji's accommodation?" Su Youyue quickly changed the subject, fearing that if she didn't interrupt Doctor Ji, he might say something even more shocking.

Xie Yuan's gaze finally left Doctor Ji as he said calmly, "Stay at the Xie Mansion."

Su Youyue had already guessed his arrangement but asked to change the topic. Just as she was about to nod, Doctor Ji wasn't pleased.

"No way! I want to stay with her!" Pointing at Su Youyue, he declared assertively, "I need to observe her leg daily, or how can I treat it!"

His reasoning sounded righteous, yet it was rather flimsy.

After all, Su Youyue's leg treatment would only start in two days.

Xie Yuan coldly uttered two words: "No way."

Doctor Ji was furious. "Since I've agreed to treat her leg, there's no way I'm running away. You underestimate me too much. Am I the type to go back on my word?"

Seeing how angry he was, Su Youyue wanted to speak up for him. But unexpectedly, Zheyin interjected coldly, "How many times did Doctor Ji deceive our brothers by promising not to escape?"

"But I never agreed to treat this girl in the first place. You guys barged into my home and kidnapped me, and now you don't want me to run away?" Doctor Ji stood up, puffed with anger.

"In any case, I refuse to live with you bunch of stinky men. If you don't agree, I won't leave. Do whatever you want with me!"

The atmosphere became tense, and Su Youyue didn't know what to do. It wouldn't be a problem for Doctor Ji to stay at the Su Mansion, but if he really tried to run away, her people might not be able to stop him.

Even from the side, one could tell that bringing Doctor Ji here hadn't been easy for Xie Yuan's men.

Seeing Xie Yuan's cold face, Su Youyue considered her words carefully. "Why don't we let Doctor Ji stay at our Su Mansion, and Secretary Xie can send two people to the Su Mansion... to protect Doctor Ji."

She had never felt so shameless before.

Clearly, it was surveillance, yet she called it protection.

Su Youyue silently made a mental note to compensate Doctor Ji later.

With her suggestion, Xie Yuan seemed to ponder for a moment before instructing Zheyin, "Have Zhe Jing take some men with him and watch over Doctor Ji!"

Zheyin immediately acknowledged the order.

Although Doctor Ji was still a bit unhappy about being followed by Xie Yuan's men, he knew when to stop. He ran over to Su Youyue. "Miss, let's go. I don't want to see your iceberg face anymore! It's creepy!"

"..."

Iceberg face?

Su Youyue pursed her lips. She thought she had given Xie Yuan enough nicknames, but she never expected someone to come up with such an apt one.

"Well, we'll head back to the mansion..."

She looked up to bid farewell to Xie Yuan, noticing that he remained silent. Her heart fluttered, and she added, "Xie Yuan, may you have a peaceful New Year's Eve."

The man's eyes flickered, and he stood up.

When he rose, his tall stature commanded attention, drawing everyone's gaze to him. Yet, they couldn't help but avoid his imposing presence.

The girl was taken aback, appearing small and fragile in front of him, as if she couldn't withstand a single blow.

The man raised his hand but gently placed it on her hair, as if delicately smelling a rose. Then, he softly replied, "You too."

Though his tone was gentle, the girl blushed and turned her face away from his touch.

"I'm going back now!"

Without waiting for Chunya and Jin'er, she reached out to push her wheelchair, eager to leave.

Chunya saw her mistress's flustered appearance, like a frightened fawn, and hurried after her.

Only Jin'er remained clueless, not realizing her mistress's embarrassment. Instead, her eyes sparkled with pink hearts.

She never expected that her future son-in-law and her mistress would look quite well together when standing side by side.

How had she failed to see it before?

Seeing her Miss leave, she didn't forget to pull over Divine Doctor Ji beside her, afraid that he would run away and not treat her Miss's leg: "Divine Doctor Ji, come with me."

Once they left the private room, Su Youyue muttered, "He has no decorum."

This man was becoming more and more unrestrained, actually stroking her hair in front of so many people.

Although being touched on the head didn't feel like much, Su Youyue felt it was no different from being touched elsewhere!

Only after coming out did she realize that Zhe Jing wasn't around, and she'd have to take Divine Doctor Ji back herself.

"Chunya, arrange for Divine Doctor Ji to stay at the Warm Green Courtyard when we return."

The Warm Green Courtyard was next to the Wisteria Garden, naturally very livable, and also convenient for the people in the residence to keep an eye on Divine Doctor Ji...

After Chunya agreed, Jin'er wheeled Su Youyue to the carriage. Just as she helped her into the carriage, a voice came from behind.

"Miss Su, this subordinate is Zhe Jing, sent by Lord Xie."

Jin'er strangely felt that this voice sounded familiar, but upon turning around, she saw a young man she hadn't met before.

This young man was exceedingly handsome, his eyes always seeming to hold a smile, making him very approachable at first sight.

Su Youyue, already in the carriage, now realized that Zhe Jing had been nearby all along, and likely had been on standby the whole time.

With this, she could be at ease.

The two secret guards by Xie Yuan's side were both extremely skilled.

"Thank you, young sir," she replied.

Jin'er had just stolen a glance at the handsome young man, feeling as if he had also taken a second look at her.

However, when she looked closely, she found that he hadn't been looking at her at all.

Sigh, she must have been following her Miss and looking at handsome men too much, creating illusions.

Jin'er mumbled to herself and quickly helped Divine Doctor Ji into the carriage.
