Free Web NovelChapter 38: Chapter 38: Feeling a Slight Guilt towards Her _1
Ye Ning has caught a fever.
She had not expected her body to be so frail.
After a full day of exhausting activities, she collapsed.
In her dreams, she seemed to be in the Ye Family’s residence and also at the Headquarters.
Shi Xuan was talking to her, "Ye Ning, I’m sorry, it’s not intentional, but if you don’t die, Meng Na will be expelled from Headquarters."
"Ye Ning, thank you for loving me so deeply, but alas, we are not a match."
"Ye Ning, you’re too strong, so strong that it shatters all men’s confidence. I’m not even as strong as you, hence, I could never love you."
Ye Ning scoffed. She wouldn’t care about a man who couldn’t be with her because she was too strong.
"Shi Xuan, get lost!"
"Shi Xuan, I don’t like you at all. You’re dreaming."
"I want to be the strongest. I can rely on myself. I don’t need any man!"
Mu Yeli was reading a book nearby.
He suddenly heard this woman muttering something.
Shi Xuan?
Who is that?
Is that a man’s name?
Mu Yeli frowned and looked at Ye Ning, who seemed to be in significant pain in her dreams. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Her typically pale face, now looked just like a sheet of paper.
Her beautiful lips were dry and parched, and it gave him the urge to wet them for her.
Her nose had a thin layer of sweat on it due to the fever, and her thin cheeks looked as vulnerable as a doll’s.
Seriously, a woman who looked so robust was actually this fragile.
She fell ill so quickly.
The doctor said it was due to the severe injury she had sustained earlier, combined with the fatigue from the day’s hard work, which led to the fever.
Mu Yeli felt a little guilty.
That injury...had been inflicted by him, after all.
However, she had been the first to drug him!
The key issue now was, who on earth was Shi Xuan?
"Ye Ning, wake up," he said, turning her over with one hand.
Ye Ning woke up in a daze.
The first thing she saw was a handsome face in front of her.
Thin red lips, delicate eyelashes, black eyes, and thin hair hanging down his forehead, so handsome it was challenging to look at.
But, who was this...
Holy crap, Mu Yeli.
She shot up immediately.
"You, you, why are you here?"
Was he that intimidating? she seemed terrified. ƒrēewebnovel.com
Mu Yeli looked at her, somewhat annoyed.
Or was it because she was disappointed that he wasn’t the Shi Xuan she had mentioned earlier?
His attractive brows furrowed again.
"This is my house. I have every right to be here."
Ye Ning blinked, only then did she recall.
But how did she end up returning here?
Did he go back to get her?
That can’t be, would he be so kind-hearted?
Wasn’t he just complaining about her intervening with his affair with Ye Zi?
"Okay, what happened to me? I’m so thirsty, I..." She tried to get out of bed, but her feet wobbled, and there was a slight pain underneath.
"What are you trying to do? Don’t move. You’ve ripped yourself by moving around too much today."
"..."
What’s all this? All she did was hit a few people.
But yes, she did splits, spinning and other movements that this body probably couldn’t withstand.
But right now, she didn’t have any money to replenish this body properly.
Ye Ning felt exasperated, "This is really unfortunate."
So, she knows she’s unlucky.
Mu Yeli gave her a glare, "Tell me what you need, and I’ll get it for you."
Ye Ning looked at him in surprise, "Why are you being so nice all of a sudden?"
Mu Yeli looked at her astonished expression, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Why are you being so nice to me?"
Mu Yeli was irritated by her wary look, he was almost tempted to smack her. He was kind enough to be considerate, only for her to be suspecting him of plotting something against her!
