ARIPOEC Chapter 18

A moment later, the three of them were sitting together in the narrow mech operation room, Ye Wenming’s laser knife still resting on Lin Jun’s neck.
“What do you want to talk about?”
Ye Wenming got straight to the point: “You are from the Ye family, Marshal Ye is your father.”
Ye Mingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly: “So what?”
Ye Wenming was caught off guard by his composed demeanor. He choked for a moment, then turned to look at Lin Jun.
Lin Jun very cooperatively put on a surprised expression.
Ye Wenming changed his strategy, smiling at Lin Jun: “Shocked, aren’t you? Ye Mingyuan is from the Ye family, and he’s the future heir.”
Lin Jun: “…” I’m not surprised at all.
Ye Wenming: “He was deliberately sent to your side by the Ye family, just to make you fall in love with him and get pregnant with his child.”
“Oh dear, you’re already having a child, I suppose you’ve gotten your marriage certificate too. The Lin and Ye families have been at odds for generations, and finally, in this generation, they are officially getting married. How wonderful.”
“I just wonder what Marshal Lin will think?”
“Oh dear, let me think… Marshal Lin always supports the Crown Prince, doesn’t he?”
Lin Jun: “…”
He still had to admire Ye Wenming’s ability to improvise. If he hadn’t already known the truth, he might have been led astray by Ye Wenming and started to suspect Ye Mingyuan.
Lin Jun glanced at Ye Mingyuan.
Ye Mingyuan understood: “Lin Jun, let me explain!”
This acting… is a bit exaggerated.
Lin Jun couldn’t bear to watch and closed his eyes, cooperating with the act: “I won’t listen! So you approached me with ill intentions from the start. The dormitory at the beginning of the semester was arranged by you too, wasn’t it!”
“It’s not like that, let me explain…”
“I won’t listen, I won’t listen!”
Ye Wenming seemed very pleased with this situation: “Not only that, but we also participated in…”
Ye Wenming paused deliberately at this point.
Ye Mingyuan indeed turned his head: “Shut up!”
Ye Wenming smiled leisurely: “Are you sure you want him to hear what I’m about to say?”
Ye Mingyuan understood what he meant. He formed his fingers into a knife and struck the back of Lin Jun’s neck, causing Lin Jun to immediately slump down.
This acting successfully deceived Ye Wenming.
Seeing Lin Jun faint, Ye Wenming gradually relaxed his vigilance.
“Go back to the Ye family, Lin Jun can’t possibly believe you now.”
Ye Mingyuan laughed coldly: “As long as I explain it to him clearly later, he will believe me.”
“We even have a child together, do you think you can confuse him with a few lies you made up?”
Ye Wenming also laughed: “I didn’t expect to be able to deceive him for long anyway.”
Ye Wenming leisurely continued: “The real reason I came this time wasn’t to ask for your opinion, just to inform you. Anyway, next month, Marshal Ye will take the opportunity of returning to the Capital Star to report on his duties to propose to the Emperor that you be made the heir of the Ye family.”
“When that’s set in stone, do you think Lin Jun will believe you?”
Ye Mingyuan’s eyes suddenly sharpened.
That’s right, wasn’t that what they did in his past life?
Forcibly bringing him back to the Capital Star, forcibly making him the heir of the Ye family, stamping him with the Ye family’s seal…
Sure enough, these people were always this shameless, no matter when.
“Does it have to be so soon?” Ye Mingyuan’s tone was very slow, giving a strange feeling of an impending storm.
“Of course, it doesn’t have to be so soon.” Ye Wenming hesitated for a moment, finally revealing his true purpose: “As long as you are willing, the Ye family’s heir is yours, Lin Jun and the child are yours, and maybe even the entire Lin family will be yours in the end…”
Ye Mingyuan’s eyes narrowed slightly: “What do you want me to do?”
The implication was that he agreed.
Ye Wenming smiled with satisfaction. He flipped his wrist, and a semi-transparent light screen popped up: “This is our internal phone number. I’ll contact you when we need you.”
Ye Mingyuan glanced at it lightly, nodding to indicate that he had remembered.
Ye Wenming finally lowered the laser knife from Lin Jun’s neck, not forgetting to threaten him one last time: “Don’t mess around, you know… the announcement that you are the heir of the Ye family can be made at any time.”
“…” Ye Mingyuan glanced at him.
The next second, the door of the mech operation cabin popped open quickly, Ye Mingyuan stood up, stretched out his leg, and kicked Ye Wenming out of the operation cabin.
The mech was already hovering in mid-air. Ye Wenming took a kick to the chest and flew out almost backward.
The thin figure crashed into the woods not far away, and there was no sound.
The people waiting anxiously below gasped. It took them a long time before someone dared to speak.
“The one who just flew out was Ye Wenming, right?”
“Seems so.”
“So that means Lin Jun is okay.”
“Thank goodness, I knew Senior Ye Mingyuan would never be threatened by him like that.”
“Exactly, Ye Mingyuan is so powerful, how can that weakling compare to him?”
“I really thought he was a well-behaved student before, hmph.”
“Should we go take a look? Ye Wenming isn’t dead, is he…”
“Probably not.”
“Let’s go take a look, let’s go take a look.”
The crowd clustered under the mech squeezed towards the woods.
In the mech operation cabin floating in mid-air, Ye Mingyuan leaned back in his chair, looking relaxed: “Everyone’s gone, are you still pretending to be unconscious?”
Lin Jun’s eyelids twitched, and he quickly sat up.
The hit Ye Mingyuan made just now was just a feint. It looked powerful, but it was actually as light as a touch on the back of his neck.
“I acted with you for so long, aren’t you going to thank me?”
Ye Mingyuan: “You acted on your own, I haven’t settled the score with you yet.”
Although Ye Wenming was a weakling, he shouldn’t have exposed such a vulnerable spot to the enemy’s knife. What if Ye Wenming really intended to kill him?
Ye Mingyuan felt a little scared just thinking about it.
Lin Jun raised his eyebrows slightly: “Do you think I can’t even handle a Ye Wenming now?”
He had been on the battlefield after all. If even a weakling like this could hurt him, then he wouldn’t have the face to see his old brothers.
“…” Ye Mingyuan was silent for a while, then sighed softly.
Lin Jun was puzzled: “What’s wrong?”
Ye Mingyuan stood up, placing his hands on either side of Lin Jun.
The mech operation room was small to begin with, and Ye Mingyuan was tall, blocking Lin Jun’s entire view.
The intense sense of oppression made him want to resist reflexively.
Unfortunately, Lin Jun didn’t even raise his hand before his wrist was pinned down.
A warm hand rubbed the top of his head, and Ye Mingyuan sighed helplessly: “Why don’t you understand? I’m worried about you.”
Even though I know you won’t be hurt, I’m still worried.
Lin Jun was stunned.
As a hopeless straight man who had never been in love in his thirty-plus years of life, Lin Jun had never experienced such delicate feelings.
Looking at the somewhat dazed person he had trapped in his arms, Ye Mingyuan leaned down and planted a light kiss on Lin Jun’s forehead.
Never mind, if he doesn’t understand, he doesn’t understand.
But making him worry for so long, taking a little interest… shouldn’t be too much to ask, right?
