Chapter 63 - I Didn't Hurt Him

Ming Liuyi wanted to explain to Yao Gui that she had no intention of harming Yao Zizhou, but before she could speak, Yao Zizhou quickly cut in instead. He had to protect his wife.

“I asked Ming Liuyi to come over.”

Ming Liuyi knew that Yao Zizhou meant well, but she had to explain herself, otherwise, the conflict would only get worse. Yao Gui would not believe that Ming Liuyi would be nice to Yao Zizhou.

She patted Yao Zizhou’s arm to comfort him, then turned to Yao Gui and said,”Father—No, Chairman Yao. The black liquid yesterday was really Zizhou’s sweat. I also said that it’s a sign of improvement. It’s true. I have no reason to lie to you. I did not harm him. Now that Zizhou has woken up, can you trust me?”

Although Yao Zizhou had already woken up, Yao Gui still would not let down his guard. Who knew what would happen in the future? Yao Gui did not want to talk to Ming Liuyi, so he looked at Yao Zizhou and said, “You just woke up. Why don’t you stay in the hospital for a few days for observation?”

Yao Zizhou shook his head. Ming Liuyi did not feel well here, and neither did he, so it was better to go home. Besides, the checkup showed that everything was fine, so there was no need to continue staying in the hospital, he said, “No, let’s go home.”

Yao Gui still wanted to persuade him, but seeing Yao Zizhou’s determined expression, he knew that it would be useless to say anything. However, he did not dare to let Yao Zizhou go back alone with Ming Liuyi, so he hesitated for a moment and said lightly, “Then come back to my place with me, just like before.”

Yao Zizhou shook his head again. Even Ming Liuyi was not used to this current place, let alone Yao Gui’s. Ming Liuyi would only feel more awkward. Yao Zizhou also believed that Ming Liuyi would take good care of him.

“No need, you can go back. Ming Liuyi and I will return to our place.”

Yao Gui let out a helpless sigh. He originally thought that with his son awake, everything would be fine, and his family would be happy. However, he did not expect Yao Zizhou’s temper to be the same as before—cold, stubborn, and strange.

In fact, Yao Zizhou had mixed feelings towards Yao Gui. He knew that his father was concerned and loved him, but this fatherly love was like a landslide. Yao Gui always did things that would only hurt him more.

For example, Yao Gui made Yao Zizhou marry Ming Liuyi, and made Yao Zizhou cooperate with Ming Liuyi as she used some kind of unknown remedy to torture him. These were all things that Yao Zizhou could not accept, yet at the current moment when he heard Ming Liuyi call him “father,” her voice was very delicate, which made Yao Zizhou’s heart move.

Thinking about it, it would sound even better to call him “darling” from now on. Yao Zizhou’s mood was on the edge of a struggle every day.

‘Ming Liuyi harmed me, Ming Liuyi took care of me, Ming Liuyi tortured me, and Ming Liuyi fed me…’

Yao Zizhou’s mood was like a vertical drop roller-coaster. It would rise to the top one moment, and then fall to the bottom in the next. In order to prevent himself from having a mental breakdown, Yao Zizhou secretly decided that when he got home, he would have to ask Ming Liuyi about it.

As someone who was once invincible in the business world, Yao Zizhou knew how to grasp a person’s weakness. He had already discovered that Ming Liuyi seemed to be particularly afraid of him. With just a few questions, Ming Liuyi became so scared that she kept hiccuping.

For the next few moments, Yao Zizhou deliberately put on a cold face and did not speak. No matter what Ming Liuyi said, Yao Zizhou would not answer. Ming Liuyi was also frightened by Yao Zizhou’s countenance, even thinking that this was the final peace before the storm.

Ming Liuyi’s voice became softer and softer, like a child who had done something wrong.

She was a little remorseful. She could have escaped, but in the end, things had turned out like this. It seemed that Ming Liuyi could not escape from Yao Zizhou’s evil clutches.

The silence in the car was terrifying. Ming Liuyi did not dare to say anything. The car smoothly stopped in front of the house. The servants had long received the news and had been waiting at the door for a long time. It was a good thing that the master had woken up. Everyone’s faces were full of joy.

Ming Liuyi did not wait for anyone to open the door for her and got out of the car herself. She calculated in her heart that if she ran away quickly like it was a hundred-meter dash, what was the probability of her escaping successfully? But who knew that when the driver opened the car door, the cold presence from Yao Zizhou’s body made Ming Liuyi shiver. In this hot summer, it was like falling into an ice cellar. The atmosphere became extremely cold, and she could not feel any warmth at all.
