Captured Hearts: The Substitute Bride’s Gambit Chapter 160

Chapter 160: Chapter 160: President Sheng, Let’s Sign an Agreement! Chapter 160: Chapter 160: President Sheng, Let’s Sign an Agreement! Cong Ningyuan spotted her burn at first glance, “You really did get hurt.”

Ye Chuyi invited him inside, while she herself wrapped in a blanket, nestled on the sofa, “How did you know I was injured?”

“Qianqian told Su Shan, Su Shan told Liang Xun, and Liang Xun told me.”

Ye Chuyi held her forehead, “Qianqian really has a big mouth. I think she might as well go work in the jungle, she’s almost become an inside agent.”

Cong Ningyuan saw the half-opened ointment and picked it up to continue, “Shall I apply the ointment for you?”

Ye Chuyi refused without a second thought, “No need.”

Cong Ningyuan hesitated for a moment but ultimately didn’t go against her wishes and put down the ointment.

“Is there anything you’d like to eat? I can go buy it for you.”

Ye Chuyi looked at him indifferently, “I can buy it myself. You earn millions a year, being my delivery guy is a waste of talent. Don’t you have a social engagement tonight? Aren’t you leaving? Don’t you want to be the president anymore?”

Cong Ningyuan looked at her face, weary, and spoke softly, “The dinner can wait, but you, you should rest properly. You’ve been pushing yourself too hard.”

Ye Chuyi smiled, “I really enjoy my current life. It’s busy and fulfilling, and seeing the results of my hard work makes me feel that it’s not that tough.”

The doorbell rang again, giving Ye Chuyi a headache. Why were there so many visitors today? She really wanted to sleep.

Cong Ningyuan took it upon himself to answer the door, but when he opened it, he froze.

The person outside was also startled, “Cong Ningyuan?”

“It’s me, President Sheng.”

Cong Ningyuan turned to Ye Chuyi, “What do you say?”

“Let him in, and you go on with your business.”

Upon getting Ye Chuyi’s approval, Cong Ningyuan stepped aside to let Sheng Tingyuan in, then he left.

Ye Chuyi looked at him without any embarrassment of being caught or feeling guilty, her expression exceptionally calm, “How did President Sheng know my apartment address?”

Sheng Tingyuan frowned, “Why is Cong Ningyuan here? Ye Chuyi, you are already married.”

“President Sheng, how about we sign an agreement?”

“What agreement?”

“An agreement of non-interference in each other’s lives. I won’t meddle in your affairs, and in turn, you won’t inquire into mine. When needed to cooperate for show, we’ll do exactly that. Apart from such times, let’s each mind our own business.”

Sheng Tingyuan’s expression grew cold, “Is this because of Cong Ningyuan?”

“It has nothing to do with him. There are no emotional entanglements between us, I just think this is better for both of us.”

“What if I don’t agree?”

“If you don’t agree…”

Ye Chuyi shook her head, “Then I really don’t have much of a choice.”

Sheng Tingyuan bent down, picked up the ointment from the coffee table and threw it directly into the trash bin.

Ye Chuyi was so provoked by his actions that she instantly wasn’t sleepy anymore, “What are you doing? I need that medication!”

“The medication Cong Ningyuan gave you is no good. Use mine.”

Saying this, Sheng Tingyuan took out a tube of ointment from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table.

Ye Chuyi looked at it and burst into laughter in irritation, “Isn’t that the same ointment? The one I had wasn’t even given by Cong Ningyuan. Pick it up for me, quick!”

“Then who gave it to you?”

“It was my senior brother!”

Sheng Tingyuan frowned again, “Your senior brother? Chi Cheng?”

“Right.”

Sheng Tingyuan felt even more uncomfortable inside. It wasn’t just Cong Ningyuan eyeing her—it was also Chi Cheng!

He sat down on the sofa and immediately noticed the thermometer on the coffee table.

He picked it up and looked at it, 38.7 degrees.

He reached out to feel Ye Chuyi’s forehead, “Do you have a fever?”

Ye Chuyi saw his hand coming and instinctively tried to dodge, but unfortunately, she couldn’t avoid it.

She pushed his hand away, “I’ve already taken medicine. I’ll be fine after some sleep. Now, can you leave? You’re interrupting my rest.”

Sheng Tingyuan leaned over and swept her up in his arms, striding towards the bedroom.

Ye Chuyi, totally unprepared for his move, was startled, “Sheng Tingyuan, what are you doing?!”

Sheng Tingyuan looked down at her, “Not calling me President Sheng anymore?”

Ye Chuyi turned her face away, “Put me down.”

Sheng Tingyuan carried her into the bedroom, placed her on the bed, and tucked her under the covers, “Sleep.”

Ye Chuyi glared in frustration, “How can I sleep with you here? Besides, I hadn’t applied the ointment, and you’ve just carried me away.”
