Jing Xue's soft body was pressed against Ren Ye as he took a deep breath, noticing the closeness between the two of them. Jing Xue didn't cease to take her lips away even though Ren Ye was barely responding to it.
Ren Ye was rather slow, compared to Jing Xue's enthusiasm. His eyebrows furrowed deeply as Jing Xue slowly opened her eyes and watched his expression.
Ren Ye looked to be in great pain.
Jing Xue immediately took her lips away and watched him with concern, "What is wrong?"
Jing Xue grabbed his hand and gripped it tightly, noticing the coldness radiating from his skin. She frowned as she pursed her lips into a straight line, she immediately stood up and turned the lights on.
Ren Ye's chest heaved up and down as the lower part of his body suddenly cooled down, he called out to Old Yi with complaints, "Dammit, I can't get any good time."
Old Yi chuckled inwardly, "What happened? I closed my vision off. Didn't get any good time?"
"…"
Ren Ye waved his hand dismissively, gesturing for Jing Xue to calm down upon seeing she was panicking. He mumbled softly, "I am alright. The constant change of weather made me sick."
He gradually sat up and began to move into a comfortable posture, he stabilized his breathing and began to enter a state of meditation. Jing Xue's face relaxed slightly but her body remained tense, she approached him again and sat in front of him.
"I will buy some medicines."
"No need."
Jing Xue didn't respond as she observed his features with wavering eyes, she lowered them and pondered inside her head. Before she could raise her head and ask him about his condition, a knock on the door was heard.
"Go out for a second, I will get back later."
Jing Xue hesitated as Ren Ye lifted his head and gave her an assuring glance, he curled his lips into a smile. Jing Xue was feeling uneasy as she gazed at him, "No, I will stay here."
Jing Xue couldn't allow Ren Ye to be struggling in pain alone, preferring to stay by his side until he recovers. Although she thought of it this way, Ren Ye was thinking the opposite. He wanted her to leave him some time where he could manage himself.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRen Ye was slightly stunned as Jing Xue opened the door to find a little child in front of the door, a cute adorable girl was looking teary-eyed as she called out to her Mama and Papa for help.
"Mama, my hand is bleeding."
Ren Ye's eyes suddenly opened as he shot up from his seat and rushed to the door with great concern and panic on his face, Jing Xue was taken aback by his speed as she paved a way for the father to come to his daughter.
"What happened? Show me your hand," Ren Ye said calmly but he was extremely anxious inside his heart, he scanned Ren Jia's body for any injuries; noticing the blood trail on her arms.
Ren Ye took a deep breath as he felt dizzy, "Jia'er, how could you hurt yourself like this? Let me see your hand."
Ren Jia timidly showed him her wound as she raised her finger to her Papa's eyes, he noticed a deep cut on his daughter's finger and he immediately felt shivers down his spine.
My sweet daughter!
"I don't have any cleaning alcohol and cotton with me," Ren Ye spoke in a monotone voice as he rushed out to the door and wanted to go out to get some.
Although he was sick before, Ren Jia gave him a burst of energy; making him restore to his energized state. The anxiety was making its way into his heart as he saw his daughter's wound.
"Here!" A crisp childish voice sounded out as Wu Ling appeared at the door, holding a box of medicinal needs. She initially wanted to bring Ren Jia to clean her wound at her home but Ren Jia cried out for her Papa and Mama.
Therefore, she had no choice but to bring them here instead.
Ren Ye took the box and quickly opened them, thanking Wu Qi and Wu Ling sincerely. Wu Qi rubbed the back of his head with a smile as he told Ren Ye what happened.
"I didn't realize one of the toys had a sharp edge, Ren Jia was too quick to open them and cut her finger with it."
Wu Ling immediately came forward and bent her body apologetically, "Sorry, Little Jia."
Ren Jia sniffled as she turned to look at her Papa who was crouching down to clean her wound, Ren Ye's eyes brightened as he shook his head, "It is alright."
Jing Xue placed her delicate hands on Ren Jia's teary face as she wiped her tears off, she caressed her cheeks comfortingly with a motherly smile.
"It is not Little Ling's fault or your fault. Papa will clean the wound for you."
Ren Jia sniffled slightly as she gazed emotionally at Jing Xue, she lowered her eyes to watch Ren Ye putting the alcohol onto the cotton skillfully. Ren Ye was extremely skillful at what he was doing as he raised his head and told her softly.
"It will be a bit painful, scream and cry all you want."
"…"
Although Ren Ye had good intentions, Jing Xue thought he wanted their beloved daughter to be sad and cry in pain while her Papa supports it. She snorted and placed her hand on his waist, twisting it gently to tell him that he was saying bad things to her.
"Don't say that, change your words!"
"…"
Ren Ye didn't know whether to cry or laugh as he explained himself, "I didn't mean that. Crying out loud is better than holding it in and suffering in silence…"
Jing Xue snorted disapprovingly.
Wu Qi and Wu Ling felt slightly out of place as they watched this interaction, Wu Ling pulled her Papa's sleeve and whispered innocently, "Why is Auntie Xue so gentle with Uncle Ye? Shouldn't she beat him with a flip-flop?"
"…"
Wu Qi felt his words were stuck in his throat as he couldn't help but envy Ren Ye for having a gentle wife, while his wife scolded him every day for no reason. Despite this, Wu Qi genuinely loved his wife.
"Auntie Xue will!"
Wu Qi replied solemnly.
Wu Ling turned to watch Ren Jia who was holding back tears, she didn't know who she should turn to for advice.
Ren Jia felt she was stuck between choosing who was her favorite parent, her Papa or her Mama.
Mama will be sad if I listen to Papa but Papa's advice is extremely good because holding back tears is worse than crying.
Ren Jia sniffled and endured the pain.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRen Ye rubbed her wound with a frown as he paid attention to Ren Jia's expression and most importantly, Jing Xue's reaction. He felt he would be struck by her if he dared to make Ren Jia cry, he shivered subconsciously just by thinking of it.
"For some reason, this feels worse than having to face death," Ren Ye remarked gloomily to Old Yi, Old Yi agreed.
"After a war, most soldiers would have to go back and take care of their crying children and angry wives. Generally speaking, it is a normal thing to experience," Old Yi replied with a slight smugness, showing off his profound knowledge of the world.
Ren Ye was done cleaning after a couple of minutes, Ren Jia managed to hold back her tears as she let out a cough. Ren Ye and Jing Xue sighed in relief, Wu Ling clapped her hands as she glanced at Ren Jia's wound covered in gauze.
Wu Qi chuckled and approached them, "I didn't expect the mother of your child to be a popular film star, Brother Ye. No wonder you were so keen on hiding it away from everyone. Even your exes came over to ask about your child."
Ren Ye's body trembled intensely as Jing Xue swept her gaze onto him, she calmly reverted it as she nodded her head with an unreadable expression.
"I threatened him with a lawsuit if he went around telling everyone I am the mother of his child."
"…"
Ren Ye didn't dare approach her as he felt the growing intimidating aura surrounding her body, instead, he went to Ren Jia and casually observed her wound.
"If there is any pain, tell me and I will put more. The more the better because the wound shouldn't get infected."
Ren Jia nodded her head obediently as she bit her lower lip and asked her Papa timidly, thinking her Papa might refuse her but she wanted to ask him, "Papa, can I continue playing with Sister Ling?"
"Mm?"
Play with Wu Ling? No problem, why does she seem to be scared of me saying no? Since I have confirmed she is truly my daughter, I will spoil her endlessly! Saying no is a no!
"No problem! Be careful when you play with it. If you notice anything sharp, throw it far away and don't play with it."
Ren Ye's eyes wavered as a gentle light formed inside his pupils, Ren Jia curled her lips into a happy smile as she came over and gave her Papa a hug.
She adorably pecked him on the cheek, "Thank you, Papa!"
Ren Ye couldn't stop himself from rubbing her head, a habit he would do when she was acting adorable. Jing Xue felt her heart soften after seeing this scene, letting go of the grudge that he had multiple of exes before her.
"Wu Qi, where is Zheng Ai? I didn't see her here when I came here."
