Free Web NovelChapter 374: Chapter 374: A Sense of Loss _1
The loud commotion directly alarmed Ye Ming.
As he pushed open the door and entered, he saw Xia Ningning sitting on the bed crying, and immediately felt a wave of confusion.
He hurriedly asked, "What’s wrong with you?"
Xia Ningning cried bitterly and cursed, "You bastard, why did you do this to me?"
"What did I do?" Ye Ming looked completely innocent.
Amidst her tears, Xia Ningning said, "You shameless scoundrel, no, you’re not even human. You took advantage of me when I was drugged and defiled me! Look, this is the evidence!"
"You beast in human clothing, how did I not see what kind of person you were before? And you even put on an innocent face, acting so convincingly!"
Xia Ningning cried so heartbreakingly that it made Ye Ming feel upset and annoyed. He had always felt uncomfortable seeing girls cry, and Xia Ningning’s sobs were particularly grating to his ears.
But the more he tried to console her, the more it seemed like she was crying on purpose, her sobs even more heartbreaking.
"I once thought you were a gentleman, different from other men, but now I see you’re all the same, beasts!"
"Last time you saw me naked, and now you’ve just gone ahead and..." Xia Ningning trailed off, "you even have the audacity to deny it after having your way with me!"
It was at this moment that Ye Ming finally saw the fresh blood on the bed and instantly understood what had happened.
He said helplessly, "Miss Xia, please make sure you understand the situation before accusing me; at the very least, you should check if your body shows any signs."
"You’re still denying it?" Xia Ningning glared at Ye Ming with wide eyes. "Are you even a man? To do something and not own up to it, I despise you!"
"Aren’t you afraid Le Le will find out what you’ve done? How can you face her?" ƒгeewёbnovel.com
At this, she suddenly stopped.
She remembered that, at her home, Xu Lele always slept with her, which meant Ye Ming, no matter how bold, wouldn’t do such a thing in front of her.
Moreover, after calming down from her emotional state, Xia Ningning didn’t really feel any discomfort in her body.
She paused slightly, muttering to herself, "Could it be that it’s not mine? But rather Le Le’s?"
"You two are just too..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Xu Lele had already come out of the bathroom, looking helplessly at Xia Ningning, "Ningning, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"Le Le, could it be that this isn’t..."
To stop Xia Ningning from spouting any more nonsense, Xu Lele quickly interrupted her, "Ye Ming didn’t come in at all yesterday."
"Then what’s with the blood on the bed?" Xia Ningning asked, confused.
At this point, Ye Ming finally reacted, looking at Xu Lele with a concerned face, "Le Le, are you feeling unwell somewhere again?"
The sizable bloodstain made Ye Ming anxious. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Xu Lele quickly shook her head, "It’s nothing, it’s probably just some old blood that wasn’t properly cleared and I vomited it out. I’m feeling much better now, no issues at all."
Ye Ming sighed with relief, his face full of tenderness saying, "You still need to rest more. Remember to drink some Spirit Spring Water later to replenish your strength."
Xu Lele obediently nodded, smiling at Ye Ming, "All right, I’m fine now. It’s still early, so you could go back to sleep a bit more."
Ye Ming nodded and was just about to leave when suddenly there was a knock at the door.
He gave a word of instruction and left the room.
After he was gone, Xia Ningning still looked at Xu Lele with concern, "Le Le, did he really not do anything to me?"
Xu Lele raised her eyebrows and said, "Looking at you, you seem pretty disappointed!"
No sooner had she spoken than Xia Ningning’s face turned bright red, and she hurriedly said, "How could that be, Lele, don’t talk nonsense!"
That remark had indeed struck a chord with her.
She recalled the events of the earlier day.
She had been fed an aphrodisiac, and at the critical moment when the drug was taking effect, Ye Ming had rescued her. At that time, due to both her true desires and the drug’s influence, she had felt an urge to claim Ye Ming.
But to her surprise, Ye Ming didn’t even touch her, instead used a miraculous power to rid her of the drug in her system, which left her feeling a bit let down.
"Pff, you think I can’t see through you, that your little thoughts could escape my eyes?" Xu Lele said playfully, "If you really want it, just be bold and say it, I wouldn’t mind at all!"
Seeing Xu Lele’s schadenfreude expression, Xia Ningning burst into laughter despite her tears, threw herself onto Xu Lele and said, "You little demon, if you keep spouting nonsense, I’m going to have to deal with you!"
At that moment, Ye Ming walked to the outside of the villa.
Upon opening the door, he was met by two men, one old and one young, standing outside.
The younger man had his hands clasped behind his back and looked at Ye Ming with an arrogant gaze, asking, "Are you Ye Ming?"
Ye Ming frowned slightly, feeling no fondness for the man before him, and responded ungraciously, "What do you want with me?"
The young man cleared his throat and said, "My name is Xia Yu, from the Yanjing Xia Family. The previous matter concerning Xia Ningning is related to you, isn’t it?"
Ye Ming stared coldly at him and said, "Whether it’s related to me or not, what’s it to you? Who do you think you are?"
"If it’s nothing important, please leave. I don’t have time to waste words with you."
Ye Ming was still concerned about Xu Lele’s injury, planning to mix some medicine for her to take and had no interest in talking with the other party, saying this, he attempted to close the door.
Xia Yu was quick to act, immediately blocking the door, his face turning very ugly.
"You Ye think you are too much! Dare to shut me out, this villa is still the Xia Family’s property, you are squatting like a magpie nesting... and you still dare to be so arrogant?"
"Master Leu, take care of him!"
The elder behind Xia Yu nodded and, with an expressionless face, walked up to Ye Ming. He raised his hand and slapped swiftly towards Ye Ming’s face.
His movements were lightning fast, his palm leaving a shadow in the air, accompanied by the sound of the wind.
His technique was also extremely skilled, evidently a move he frequently used with consistent success.
Smack!
A crisp sound rang out, but the palm did not land on Ye Ming’s face; instead, the elder’s wrist was firmly caught by Ye Ming.
Ye Ming looked coldly at the elder and said, "Considering you’re from the Xia Family, I’ll give you one chance. Dare to raise your hand again, and I’ll make sure you lose this arm forever!"
The elder’s face changed, and he was inflamed with rage.
He hadn’t expected Ye Ming to fight back, nor did he expect Ye Ming to be able to stop his hand.
However, when he tried to withdraw, he was shocked to find his hand seemed caught by an immense force, unable to move at all.
"Boy, not a bad grip, but don’t think I’m a pushover!" the elder exclaimed.
With that, he raised his other hand, intending to strike Ye Ming.
"Stop!" Just then, at the moment when both were on the brink of conflict, the voice of Xia Ningning came from behind.
