CHAPTER 512: CHAPTER 309: TRUST

Mrs. Luo was so startled by Feng Tianzhi that she didn’t know what to say. After all, he was her daughter’s superior, and she couldn’t figure out how to phrase her response, her mouth opened and closed but no sound came out.

Even though she had long been aware that Feng Tianzhi’s nickname "Madman" was not given without reason, his direct expression of purpose still exceeded Luo Ye’s imagination. She glanced at him sideways, "Captain Feng, if I were to report this conversation to my school, what would happen?"

"You wouldn’t do that." Feng Tianzhi was certain.

"Heh..." Luo Ye laughed sarcastically, "Why wouldn’t I?"

"Auntie, do you think she would?" Instead of answering Luo Ye, Feng Tianzhi turned and asked Wen Xin.

"I don’t know." Wen Xin thought for a moment, "But with your temperament, you wouldn’t even pass muster with me, let alone her father."

"Auntie, time will tell everything. Ye’er is still young, I have patience." Feng Tianzhi smiled looking at Luo Ye, "Do you know why I only came today?"

"Uh... I don’t know." Luo Ye shook her head.

"I am very aware of what you think of me, didn’t want to anger you and affect your recovery. According to your constitution, you should be almost recovered by today."

Luo Ye was speechless, so he thought she was sufficiently recovered to deliberately provoke her? She really had had enough of this madman!

Wen Xin and Sang Qingqing were equally speechless. They even doubted if Captain Feng’s brain was functioning normally; even if he wanted to make a good impression on the girl’s parents, he shouldn’t behave like this, right?

Just then, Ye Xuan arrived back home. Seeing Feng Tianzhi didn’t surprise him, he greeted him politely, chatted with Wen Xin and Sang Qingqing for a moment, then turned to Luo Ye, "Do you want some porridge?"

"Mm." Luo Ye nodded.

Wen Xin stood up, "Ye, Qingqing and I are going back to fetch some things. We leave Ye’er in your care. We’ll be back after lunch and bring you some too."

"Thank you, Auntie," Ye Xuan quickly expressed his gratitude.

Wen Xin smiled politely at Feng Tianzhi, "Captain Feng, thank you for visiting Ye’er. We need to leave for a while and won’t be able to keep you company, we are truly sorry."

With a polite and distant tone, Wen Xin’s words didn’t alter Feng Tianzhi’s expression; he still smiled lightly, "Auntie, shall I see you two out?"

"No need, the Wen family’s car is waiting downstairs."

"Then I won’t impose any further." Feng Tianzhi escorted them to the door, then returned to the ward, smiling at Luo Ye, "Are you wondering why I acted like that in front of your mother?"

"I’ve been wondering if something hit your head when you left the house today?" Luo Ye didn’t mince words.

"Little girl, if I didn’t behave like that, how could I highlight how good Ye Xuan is?" Feng Tianzhi raised an eyebrow, "For your sake, I made this sacrifice, I won’t trouble you further. Also, just informing you, I’ve discussed with Hang Menglin that your medical leave is for 7 days, you can go home and need to report back to school at 7 AM on the 21st."

Walking out the door, then turning back to taunt a glance at Ye Xuan, he said with a smile, "Little Ye’er, we have long days ahead together!"

"It’s okay, he’s just deliberately trying to annoy me." Seeing Luo Ye steal a glance at him, Ye Xuan smiled, "If I couldn’t even see through this little trick, I’d have lived in vain."

"What if I’m hiding something from you, would you be angry?" Luo Ye cautiously gauged him, pushing away the porridge bowl, "I’m not eating this."

Ye Xuan set down the bowl, arranged a comfortable position for Luo Ye to lean on him, then said, "If you don’t tell me, you definitely have your reasons. It also shows I’m not doing well enough. Do you know why I insisted on coming here to keep you company?"

Luo Ye giggled, "Given our situations, meeting often isn’t possible, you just happen to have some free time and want to spend more time with me."

"Exactly, I treasure the time I can spend with Ye’er," Ye Xuan gently massaged Luo Ye’s shoulder. "But, like our professions, farewells are more frequent than reunions. Occasional hiding of things from each other is definitely for good reasons, how could I get angry?"

"So, you mean you’re keeping something from me?" Luo Ye widened her eyes at Ye Xuan, "Tell me, what are you hiding from me?"

Ye Xuan chuckled, pinching her nose, "Look at you, I’m just making an analogy. But honestly, there are many things about me that you don’t know, but that’s not considered hiding, Ye’er, you can ask me anything anytime."

"Alright, you’re spared for now, what I want to tell you now is about something related to the Ye family." Luo Ye deliberately teased, "Can you guess what it is?"

" Related to the Ye Family?" Ye Xuan pondered briefly, "Is it about Seventh Uncle?"

Luo Ye was shocked looking at him, "Could you already know?"

"No, I don’t know, but considering you’re bringing it up now, it’s easy to deduce that it must be about Seventh Uncle."

"Right, I underestimated you." Luo Ye stopped playing coy, "My master and his wife have a son, one year older than me, currently a sophomore at Ren Da."

"Zhan Ping?" Ye Xuan blurted out.

Luo Ye looked at him puzzled, "Did you suspect before?"

"Yes, Seventh Aunt told others that Zhan Ping was an adopted child. Grandpa doubted this, but all evidence showed that Zhan Ping was brought from a remote mountain area by Seventh Aunt. Grandpa felt he owed a lot to Seventh Aunt and thought investigating further would be too disrespectful, so the matter was dropped."

"So, what do you plan to do now?"

"Still testing me?" Ye Xuan looked at her amusedly. "Don’t worry, I’m not that reckless. But, I will try harder to persuade Seventh Uncle Ye to take the initiative."

"Mom said that the most important thing between lovers is trust." Luo Ye rubbed her cheeks against him. "I’m sorry."

"Silly, don’t say sorry to me. Do you want to hear about the past?"

Luo Ye pinched him on his waist: "First, I want to ask, do you have a lot of scars on your body?"

Ye Xuan chuckled lowly: "Want to see?"

"If you dare, take off your clothes and show me." Luo Ye raised an eyebrow and smirked at her: "I don’t mind, admiring a handsome man, go ahead."

"Little girl!" Ye Xuan laughed helplessly and changed the topic, telling her some interesting stories.

Her body hadn’t fully recovered yet. As she listened, she fell asleep in his arms. Ye Xuan carefully adjusted his position to make her lie more comfortably.

He leaned against the head of the bed, his eyes gently watching her; her dense eyelashes trembled occasionally, and her small nostrils fluttered slightly... It was a sleeping posture utterly devoid of wariness. Suddenly, the perplexity in his heart disappeared without a trace. She trusted him so much, what else could he be worried about?

The nurse came to change the bottle, Ye Xuan gestured to her to be gentler. The nurse quickly lightened her steps, and after changing the bottle, she looked at Luo Ye envyingly before treading lightly out.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

Suddenly, the sound of knocking woke Luo Ye, and a flash of displeasure crossed Ye Xuan’s eyes. He stroked her and said in a deep voice, "Come in!"

The door pushed open, and Bai Yan stood at the doorway smiling. Seeing Luo Ye, her face flashed with realization: "So Deputy Commander Ye’s girlfriend is Luo Ye? I never expected that!"

"Why are you here?" Ye Xuan frowned.

"I was visiting a friend at the hospital, and when leaving, I suddenly remembered you were here accompanying your girlfriend, so I asked Master Jiang for your room number to come and see." Bai Yan sized up Luo Ye: "Luo Ye looks good, it seems Deputy Commander Ye is quite good at taking care of people."

Luo Ye had fully woken up and snuggled comfortably into Ye Xuan’s embrace: "Yeah, Ye Xuan is quite good at taking care of people, so my mom entrusted me to him confidently."

Ye Xuan’s cool eyes immediately filled with amusement, he tested the water in the cup, and said softly, "It’s still warm, do you want a sip?"

"Alright." Luo Ye nodded.

After Ye Xuan put the cup back, Bai Yan chuckled lightly: "Deputy Commander Ye, are you proving my point? Okay, I award you the ’Best Boyfriend’ certificate."

"Thank you, Major Bai, for visiting Ye’er." Ye Xuan looked calmly at Bai Yan: "Ye’er’s health hasn’t fully recovered yet; she needs more rest."

"Did I disturb you?" Bai Yan awkwardly stood up and made a gesture towards Luo Ye, "I wish you a quick recovery, and remember to visit us at our station whenever you have time."

"Ye’er is also considered part of the station." Ye Xuan’s voice carried a hint of displeasure; Bai Yan’s smile faltered, and she quickly apologized: "Luo Ye, sorry, I didn’t realize it for a moment."

"It’s okay." Luo Ye smiled lightly: "Our status is only akin to reserve members, it’s normal for Major Bai to not realize it immediately."

"Well then, I won’t bother you any more. Goodbye, Deputy Commander Ye, goodbye Luo Ye!" Bai Yan, sensing Ye Xuan’s unwelcome attitude, quickly took her leave.

"Humph, humph." Luo Ye poked Ye Xuan’s chest: "Disaster! A huge disaster!"

"Ye’er..." Ye Xuan looked helpless: "Shall I scratch my face with two cuts?"

Luo Ye shook her head like a tuning drum: "No! I still trust Mr. Ye anyway, others can only look, all other rights are still mine." She gestured generously: "Forget it, I won’t mind it."

Ye Xuan: "..."

While the two were being affectionate, Ye Xuan’s phone suddenly rang. He took it out to see that Jiang Zheng was calling and he picked up to start complaining immediately.

Jiang Zheng chuckled: "She asked me for Deputy Commander Ye’s girlfriend’s hospital room number, could I say I didn’t know? Oh right, come back this afternoon; Vice Chairman Lin is coming for an inspection."

...

At five in the afternoon, Zhan Yuying came to the hospital room again with a bunch of gifts. Wen Xin complained about her discontentedly and pulled her to sit down and chat. Sang Qingqing didn’t come over, and Ye Xuan had left at two in the afternoon, so Wen Xin unreservedly shifted the topic towards Seventh Uncle Ye.

"Wen Xin, he really doesn’t have me in his heart, you shouldn’t worry." Zhan Yuying saw through Wen Xin’s intention and clearly stated her stance.

"Mistress." Luo Ye handed her a recorder: "Please don’t think I’m being rude, but could you listen to this? I swear on my character, this was recorded without my master knowing."

My heart aches, it’s so uncomfortable...
