He Xiyan immediately retracted her hand from his, as though she had been electrocuted. A faint blush stained her cheeks and she looked a little embarrassed.
“Your brother?” She looked at Ye Hao in confusion. She knew that he had two half-brothers from his father’s side of the family but he had been hospitalized for many days now and she didn’t see them visiting at all. So why would they visit today?
Ye Hao’s eyes narrowed slightly and a film of ice dissolved the earlier warmth in his eyes.
He waved at the bodyguards.
“Send them away. Tell them I don’t want to see them,” He said coldly and bluntly, with a hint of anger.
He Xiyan shuddered slightly when she heard his words and she became even more confused.
She looked at Ye Hao’s expression and wondered if the rumors online were true – did his younger brother truly mean him harm?
She followed the bodyguards out of his hospital ward and still felt a little bewildered. Once she walked to the corridor, she immediately spotted a man and a woman standing nearby.
The man was Ye Yi and he was very tall, just like his brother Ye Hao. However, he was much skinner and his skin took on a pale and sick pallor. His eyes were deeply sunken and his thin lips were very red, as though he had applied lipstick. When He Xiyan saw him, she couldn’t help but be reminded of a blood-sucking vampire.
The woman was Ye Yi’s wife, Dai Manni and she too was very tall. At one glance, she looked like she was at least 175 centimeters. Her legs were long and slender and her features were also very exquisite and striking. She looked just like she was a carefully carved statue and exuded the exotic aura of a foreign beauty.
The couple were holding hands and they looked very much in love.
Dai Manni passed something that looked like a lunch box to Ah Yu, the bodyguard, with a small smile.
“Please tell Mister Ye that this is the porridge I’ve specially made for him and that we wish him a speedy recovery.” Her voice was tender and melodious.
She exuded womanly elegance and grace through her movements.
He Xiyan stared at this couple with widened eyes and watched them leave. For some reason, she felt a chill run down her spine. This handsome couple looked extremely loving but their expressions and actions were just like the actors in a drama, as though they were trying to act out a specific role.
She accepted the food container that the bodyguard handed to her.
When she opened it, a fragrant scent rose from the box. It was a serving of lean meat congee but there were many vegetables added to it which enhanced the smell of the porridge. It looked very delicious based on its appearance alone and seemed much better than her cooking.
She carefully scooped a small spoonful of it and was about to feed it to Ye Hao.
But Ye Hao pushed her hand away.
“Throw it away. I won’t eat it.” Ye Hao’s eyes darkened and turned away in revulsion.
She quickly put it away.
“What’s wrong?” She said as she held his hand. “Are you worried that they might have poisoned the food? I don’t think that they could have done such a thing.” There were so many security cameras all over the hospital so even the stupidest person would not dare to commit such an act.
Ye Hao’s grip tightened on her hand and held her so tight that a layer of sweat formed over both their palms. All of a sudden, he tugged her hand and she fell into his warm embrace.
He could only wrap one arm around her because his other hand was fractured.
He Xiyan’s heart skipped a beat. They were so close together that she could hear his heartbeat.
She quickly reached out to use the bed frame to steady herself, afraid that if this went on, she might accidentally tug at his wounds after the surgery.
“Yan Yan…” His voice was hoarse and husky as he reached out to tuck the hair that had escaped and flopped in front of her forehead. “I’ll tell you more about the Ye family in the future. You should not meet with Ye Yi or Ye Zhe. I don’t think of them as my brothers.”
“Is Ye Yi plotting to harm you?” He Xiyan looked at him in fright. She thought of that man with the menacing face that she saw earlier and to be honest, she did not think that he looked like a good man.
Ye Hao patted her face and shook his head.
“It isn’t him!”
“Then is it…”
He Xiyan tried to probe further but her words were swallowed by that man. Before she could even react, his lips had come down on hers.
Ye Hao wrapped his hand around her neck and tenderly circled the tip of her tongue before he used his tongue to pry her mouth open and greedily entered, seeking the taste that he yearned for.
He Xiyan’s face was flushed and tiny beads of sweat had broke out across her forehead and the tip of her nose. Her red lips were slightly parted and that man had completely conquered her mouth.
She could hear her heart beat increase and she wanted to push him off but instinctively was drawn to him by his abrupt desire.
They were tightly plastered together in the ward and she didn’t know how long they had been kissing for and it wasn’t until she felt as though she couldn’t breathe that she heard a masculine voice by her ear saying softly:
“Yan Yan, I’ll send someone to protect you. I won’t let them hurt you.”
