Ye Jia struggled instinctively. If not for someone pulling her, she would have jumped into the water long ago. Even if her swimming skills couldn't compare to Ye Xiangfei's since she was young, she was still more experienced than this little brat.
However, the people behind her did not let go of her struggle and tightened their grip on her. This powerful force made her feel apprehensive. Turning her head back, she discovered that Long Haochen had already donned his bathrobe, and was hugging her tightly.
"Eldest Young Master …" Ye Jia awkwardly called out, wasn't it Xiao Li? It was clearly Little Li standing behind her. How strange! It was rare for him to be in such a good mood today, but his expression was much calmer than usual. He really had to thank that detestable Long Shengjie! Only he could make Long Haochen act like a normal person.
Long Haochen let go of her, and tied the straps on his white robes with his hands while reminding her in an indifferent tone, "Pay attention to your current identity. Don't be so childish, you're already not young anymore!"
"You're jealous of my youth!" Ye Jia coldly snorted. Her tone was full of pride.
Long Haochen's hand movements stopped, and he raised his eyes to look at her. The corner of his mouth raised in disdain, he lowered his eyes and continued to tidy up his clothes. Young? She was young, but he wasn't jealous, was he?
Ye Jia cast a sidelong glance at the disdain on Long Shengjie's face. He turned around and stared at Long Shengjie who was making a face at him. The two of them once again began to wink at each other. Long Haochen turned her body around with some dissatisfaction, lowered his head, and kissed her lips, mocking her, "That's right, pregnant women should move around a lot, so our baby will be healthy."
Ye Jia looked at the weird smile on his face. The word 'we' slightly stimulated her heart, causing it to throb. It was hard to say if it was sweet or sad. After all, the word was made up of children in their bodies, so it had no practical meaning. When a child was born, what kind of path would she and he take?
Long Haochen released Ye Jia once again, walked to the side of the pool, and extended his hand to Long Shengjie, "Shengjie, come up."
"Big Brother, it's not safe on land, can I not go up first?" Long Shengjie smiled and pointed at Ye Jia, who was standing at the side. She couldn't go into the water right now, so he dared to mess with her.
"Don't worry, it's safe on land." Long Haochen gave a kind explanation, and Long Shengjie extended his hand to him. The latter lifted her up from the water like a little bird, and gave her a towel to wipe herself with.
Long Shengjie smiled at Ye Jia. Hiding beside Long Haoxuan, he vigilantly observed Ye Jia's every move.
Ye Jia also did not plan to do anything to him, lest someone say that she was too tender. Looking at the clean blue water in the pool, she really wanted to jump in and swim. It had been a long time since she had swam. She had just seen the two brothers so carefree and envious!
After Long Haochen finished his preparations, he pulled Long Shengjie towards the main room. Seeing them leave, Ye Jia became anxious and hurriedly chased after them. Standing on the other side of Long Haochen, he said, "I also want to go in."
"Ye Jia, let me take you to the backyard." Little Li hurriedly said, secretly glancing at Long Haochen's face. Fortunately, there was nothing out of the ordinary about it! Eldest Young Master told her to accompany Ye Jia for a walk. Ye Jia just came out and wanted to go in, how could that work?
"I don't want to leave anymore …" Ye Jia said without hesitation. Her face showed obvious fear, and she didn't dare stop walking after Long Haochen. When she was together with Long Haochen, she at least wouldn't show it on the surface. After all, she liked to act good in front of him, so she had to return to her bedroom under his protection!
Long Haochen could see her fear, and also understood what she was afraid of, so he didn't say anything. Taking her action as tacit acknowledgement, Xiao Li, seeing that Long Haochen didn't object, let out a breath of relief, and finally relaxed.
Following behind Long Haoxuan, Ye Jia looked at his back and carefully asked, "Young Master, can I go back to my previous residence?" Living here really made her feel uncomfortable!
Long Haoxuan stopped his steps and looked at her condescendingly. "Return to Nangong Ye's side?" When he mentioned Nangong Ye, his expression was still stiff. Ye Jia was stunned and quickly shook her head, "No, that's not it. I promise that I will stay at little sister Hu's house and not meet Nangong Ye once."
"Is your promise convincing?" Long Haochen said in a mocking tone, simply not believing her words.
Ye Jia knew that he wouldn't believe her, so she let out a sigh and said, "I know you won't believe me, but I'm about to go crazy staying here." With a wronged expression, she muttered to herself, but didn't have any hopes that Long Haoxuan would let her go. It was only because he was in a good mood today that he dared to mention it to him.
Staying in Little Sister Hu's house, even if she didn't go out, it would still be much better than staying in this mansion! The kind Hu mama, the fashionable Hu Xiao-mei, and Hua Chi Xueyu, she has always missed them!
"You brought this upon yourself. Even if you're crazy, don't blame others. Do you know?" With a sneer, Long Haochen turned around and continued to walk towards the front of the building. Long Shengjie turned around and looked at Ye Jia. "Ye Jia, you can't leave. Who's going to play with me when you're gone?" He had finally gotten himself a companion, but he didn't want to lose her like this.
"Didn't you hear what your big brother said? Even if I'm mad, I won't let me go. " Ye Jia spat at him, and at the same time, she glared at Long Haochen, asking in a bad mood. She did not want to accept his warmth at all!
Stepping into the main house, Ye Jia saw the beauty that she didn't want to see the most. Her feet unconsciously froze on the spot. Fortunately, MeiHui only pulled over Long Shengjie and said to the two brothers in concern, "Haoxuan, Shengjie, you two have returned. Hurry and come have breakfast." Then she turned to Ye Jia and said with a smile, "Ye Jia, you eat too. Don't worry, the lady went to the hospital early in the morning. She is not home right now, so you don't need to be afraid."
Hearing her words, Ye Jia looked at her fake smile and suddenly felt her heart chilled to the extreme. This woman really knew how to put on an act. She clearly only wished for her death, yet she actually invited her to the dining table to eat?
Looking at Long Haochen's back as he was walking towards the dining hall, Ye Jia showed a dry smile and calmly said, "No need, thank you." After saying that, he walked past her and headed toward the stairs.
Looking at her fleeing figure, MeiHui sneered as she walked into the dining hall and sat down in front of Long Haochen and Long Shengjie. Looking at Long Haochen carefully, he said, "Haoxuan, can I go with you at today's meeting of the elders? I'd like to go to St. Jay's too. " With that, he patted Long Shengjie's head and asked with a smile, "Shengjie, what do you think?"
Long Shengjie didn't agree to her request. Instead, he turned to Long Haochen, obviously waiting for his opinion. Long Haochen didn't even raise his head, rejecting his request, "If you want to go, you can ask Shi Nan to send you back some time."
Her face darkened, she buried her head in her plate and bitterly picked up the breakfast. She didn't expect that Long Haochen would refuse her so soon. Luckily, Ye Jia wasn't here, otherwise, she would definitely die of joy. Mei Hui thought to herself.
Long Haochen gave her a glance, and continued expressionlessly, "I'm warning you, you can be hostile to Ye Jia, but if you dare to hurt her or a little child, I won't forgive you!"
Her ice-cold words made the tears from her eyes flow out instantly, falling onto the dining plate before her. "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu Raising his tear-filled eyes, he stared at Long Haochen with hatred, trying his utmost to ask in a calm voice, "Is it because of the child?"
Did he say that just because of the child? Or was it for Ye Jia? He had never warned her like this before! If it was for the sake of the child, her heart would not be in so much pain. However, she didn't know whether he wanted to protect the child or Ye Jia in his heart. Maybe the child was just an excuse for him to protect Ye Jia!
"What do you think?" Because of the child, only for the sake of the child, he secretly reminded himself that if he didn't have a child, he wouldn't let that woman off!
Although he said it was for the sake of the child, the pain in her heart was so intense that she couldn't breathe. With tears streaming down his face, he said with a choked voice, "Haoxuan, could it be that in your heart, I am such a despicable person? Would I not let go of my children for the sake of my own happiness? Am I that kind of person? " The more he spoke, the more excited he became.
Her tears made Long Haochen's heart palpitate for a little bit, and he calmed her down, "Okay, I'm just reminding you that your child is of the Long family's bloodline. I won't forgive anyone who dares to hurt him. "I know you know you're kind enough and won't do something like that." He was clearly comforting her, but there was still a hint of warning in his voice, making her speechless!
Meihui was simply going crazy. In order to gain his trust, she gently nodded and said, "Haoxuan, don't worry. If he really is your child, I will definitely treat him well. I will definitely treat him as my own son."
"There's no need to think of yourself as having done what you did. Just being a little further away from Ye Jiayi is enough." His child, even if he didn't have a mother, he still wouldn't acknowledge this woman as his mother! Because she simply didn't have the qualifications!
Mei Hui was stunned. She gritted her teeth and stopped speaking. Instead, she stood up. He gently said to Long Shengjie, who had just finished eating, "Shengjie, I'll accompany you back to your room to change. It's time to go to school."
"Thank you Auntie MeiHui." Long Shengjie politely replied before letting her lead him upstairs. MeiHui held Long Shengjie's hand and swallowed the tears in her stomach. In order to please Long Haoxuan, she had no choice but to follow his advice. After changing his arrogant nature, he first put in a lot of hard work on Long Shengjie.
Seeing the begging look on Xiao Li's face, Ye Jia had no choice but to eat the nutritious breakfast that Xiao Li brought. Because Little Li said that if she didn't finish, Long Hao Chen would take Little Li and ask.
