TVMCC Chapter 74

Yun Yi was woken up by the noise from downstairs in the evening. His body had been treated with medicine, so he wasn’t as sore as he was at noon.

As soon as he left his room, the noise became more obvious, but it was only from one person, Zhang Xiaonuo.

Standing above, Yun Yi saw Jiang Qiu blocking the staircase at a glance, not moving an inch despite Zhang Xiaonuo’s abusive ranting.

His face was cold and devoid of any emotion.

Zhang Xiaonuo stood with one hand on her hip and the other holding her purse, extremely angry. She glared at Jiang Qiu, “Am I not even allowed to look for Yun Yi without your permission? What kind of thing are you?”

“Have you forgotten who saved you in the first place after being by Yun Yi’s side for so long?”

Mindful of the difference between alphas and omegas, Zhang Xiaonuo didn’t resort to physical violence. Aunt Zhang stood by with a troubled expression, not daring to move or step forward.

The corners of Yun Yi’s lips curved up as he slowly walked down the stairs from the second floor.

Zhang Xiaonuo’s cursing stopped the moment she saw Yun Yi, then she stared at him with red eyes, “Finally willing to come down? Yun Yi, you’re so vicious! Did you cause Xiao Cheng’s miscarriage? Aren’t you afraid of retribution…”

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Qiu grabbed her neck.

He was tall, so Zhang Xiaonuo had to stand on tiptoes, her hands hitting forcefully at the hand on her neck, “Uh… let go! Let go…”

Yun Yi stopped on the second-to-last step of the stairs, not stopping Jiang Qiu, but smiling as he looked at Zhang Xiaonuo, “Want to die?”

Jiang Qiu understood the meaning of his words, and his grip tightened, oxygen being cut off rapidly. Zhang Xiaonuo’s face instantly turned red, her eyes widened, filled with fear, “No, no…”

“Who gave you the courage to come here and act wildly?”

“Do you think you have the backing because Yun Cheng is about to marry into the Wen family?”

Yun Yi raised his chin slightly, his hands unconsciously clenching at his sides. He wanted to kill Zhang Xiaonuo right now.

But he couldn’t yet.

Dying like this would be too easy for her.

“Zhang Xiaonuo, you better behave yourself like your daughter. Next time you come here, it will be your death!”

After saying that, Jiang Qiu released her.

Zhang Xiaonuo collapsed to the ground, as if all her strength had been drained. She clutched her neck and coughed loudly, breathing heavily.

She stared venomously at the ground, finding it hard to imagine that the person she used to torment at will had become like this.

Jiang Qiu turned to look at Yun Yi, unsure if the young master’s body could withstand this outburst. As he secretly reached out his hand, Yun Yi slapped it away, glaring at him as a warning.

Jiang Qiu: “…”

Zhang Xiaonuo didn’t see this. After a long while, she struggled to her feet and walked towards the door. Only when she reached the doorway did Zhang Xiaonuo stop, turning back to say in a sinister voice, “Yun Yi, I will definitely make you pay!”

Jiang Qiu’s face darkened instantly, and he wanted to chase after her, but Yun Yi stopped him.

“Jiang Qiu, come back.”

Whatever it is, just come at him. Yun Yi didn’t care at all, he only cared about the result.

“Young Master, she was being insolent.”

Yun Yi glanced at him indifferently and walked towards the dining room.

The porridge was personally cooked by Jiang Qiu, a pork and preserved egg congee.

The lean meat was handled very well, without any fishy smell, mixed with the aroma of preserved egg and sesame oil.

Yun Yi had slept a lot during the day, so he wasn’t sleepy even at ten o’clock in the evening. After eating, he went upstairs, not returning to his room, but standing on the small balcony on the third floor.

Jiang Qiu followed behind him, holding a small pill in his hand.

It was given to him by He Yuetang, a modified version, but he had coated each one with a layer of sugar, with white, pink, and purple colors, looking like candy.

Looking at Yun Yi’s profile, he felt a bit awkward.

How could he feed it to the young master without him noticing…

“Jiang Qiu, my legs are weak,” Yun Yi said suddenly.

“Okay.”

Jiang Qiu paused, then stepped forward, showing Yun Yi the pill he was holding between his fingers, “Young Master, want some candy?”

Yun Yi glanced at it, then looked up and examined Jiang Qiu’s face.

“Don’t want to eat.”

“Try it? Strawberry flavor, very sweet.”

Yun Yi blinked and directly exposed him, “Is it medicine?”

Jiang Qiu’s lips moved, and just as he was about to withdraw his hand, Yun Yi lowered his head and took it into his mouth.

His tongue swept across his fingertip, taking away the pink sugar-coated pill.

Just like Jiang Qiu said, it was like candy, very sweet. But once the sugar coating dissolved, it would be a mouthful of bitterness.

Fortunately, Jiang Qiu offered a glass of water before the bitterness spread, washing away the bitterness, leaving only a faint sweetness on the tip of his tongue.

Jiang Qiu looked at the person who was drinking water in small sips with his head lowered, his heart beating faster as if it was broken.

When Yun Yi had drunk enough, he raised his head and licked his lips, ignoring Jiang Qiu’s gaze, only saying, “Quickly move a chair, my legs are so tired.”

Jiang Qiu swallowed, following Yun Yi’s lips with his eyes, “Okay.”

He remembered there was a recliner in the utility room, which Yun Yi had used to lie on before. Later, Yun Cheng wanted the same model, and Yun Yi disliked it.

Jiang Qiu found it again, wiped it clean, and carried it to the third floor, spreading a blanket over it. Seeing Yun Yi frown, he explained, “This can be reclined.”

Yun Yi didn’t speak, and after a few seconds, Jiang Qiu said again, “…Tomorrow I’ll smash Miss Yun Cheng’s recliner.”

If he smashed it, there wouldn’t be the same model.

Yun Yi thought the male lead was indeed sick.

Spreading a blanket in the middle of summer, it was so hot.

But Yun Yi didn’t say anything, lying down in consideration of Jiang Qiu’s attentiveness.

There were lights downstairs, so it wasn’t too dark outside, but the weather wasn’t good, and only a crescent moon hung in the night sky, creating a sense of loneliness.

“Yun Cheng’s child is gone, I wonder if the engagement will be called off…” Yun Yi muttered to himself.

So far, he couldn’t guess the development of the future plot, but the things he wanted to do, except for the accident of Jiang Qiu, were all going according to his plan.

It would be over soon.

“Does Young Master want this engagement to be called off?”

Jiang Qiu’s voice rang out in the empty night, clear and somewhat abrupt, but it made Yun Yi’s eyes curve into a smile. He beckoned to Jiang Qiu, “Come here.”

Jiang Qiu took a step forward, squatting halfway beside Yun Yi, bringing his head closer, the two of them being very close.

Yun Yi pinched Jiang Qiu’s cheek, his entire face being pulled and distorted, which looked comical coupled with Jiang Qiu’s serious expression.

Yun Yi smiled sweetly, “Jiang Qiu, you’re so dark.”

Jiang Qiu pretended not to hear. He only knew that everything should be centered on Yun Yi’s mood. If the young master was happy, what did it matter if he was dark?

“Then does Young Master want this engagement to continue?”

“Leave it to fate.”

Yun Yi released his hand, his palm sliding down his cheek, all the way to the alpha’s Adam’s apple, his fingertips gently caressing it. He said softly, “Why be so cruel to Yun Cheng?”

Isn’t this your future wife?

“Not cruel.” Jiang Qiu thought that compared to what Yun Cheng had done to Yun Yi, what Yun Cheng had suffered was too little. “It’s Young Master who is soft-hearted.”

These words made Yun Yi laugh heartily. He hooked Jiang Qiu’s neck and leaned in, “Your lips are soft too, do you want to try?”
