Yuan Xudong suddenly froze.
Ye Xiaoxi knew that she had guessed what he was thinking when she saw his reaction. “Explain it to Grandpa. The worst-case scenario is being kicked out of the Yuan family. You are young and talented, with strength on your side. Even if you leave the Yuan family, you can still achieve something. As for Grandpa, he won’t hate you forever. He’ll forgive you sooner or later.”
“What do you know?”
Yuan Xudong sneered, thinking that she was really stupid.
Everyone in the Yuan family was like wolves, and Old Master was the most ruthless leader.
Wanting to leave the Yuan family in one piece?
Delusional!
Being half-dead and leaving with nothing was already the best outcome.
Not to mention…
If Old Master discovered he wasn’t his biological son!
What kind of crazy revenge and punishment would he have!
“I really don’t understand, but you can tell me.” Ye Xiaoxi reached out and pried his fingers away. She looked straight into his eyes and said, “Uncle, we’re family. I’m the closest person to you. Whatever difficulties you have, you can share with me. Maybe I can only help you a little, but that’s not important. The most important thing was that many things would only feel better if they were told. If you keep it in your heart, you’ll get sick.”
He looked at Ye Xiaoxi, who had clear eyes and trusted him wholeheartedly.
Yuan Xudong’s frozen heart cracked open.
And then…
His heart thumped rapidly.
However, Ye Xiaoxi was unaware of the impact her words had on him.
She took a step forward and said, “Don’t worry, I will never reveal a single word you say to anyone. Otherwise, let my later life be devoid of happiness.” “Enough!”
Yuan Xudong’s temples twitched, and his vision turned dark.
Ye Xiaoxi pouted.
She really didn’t understand what he was thinking.
Why did he always keep people a thousand miles away? He was even scarier than Lu Zhi!
“Get out.”
Yuan Xudong pointed at the door and ordered the expulsion.
Ye Xiaoxi was infuriated when she heard that.
Fine, she’ll leave!
Who cared about taking care of him?
She pouted and walked towards the door.
However, she had only taken a few steps when she heard an ear-piercing sound behind her.
She subconsciously turned around and saw Yuan Xudong supporting himself on the sofa with one hand, looking very uncomfortable.
“Uncle, are you alright?”
In the end, she still couldn’t help but worry about him. Ye Xiaoxi asked with concern.
At this moment, Yuan Xudong felt extremely uncomfortable.
His vision blurred, and the world spun around him.
As for Ye Xiaoxi’s voice, it seemed like it was behind a layer of mist and he couldn’t hear it clearly.
He barely managed to hold on, thinking that he would be fine after calming down for a while.
But in the next second…
His body tilted forward uncontrollably.
Ye Xiaoxi was shocked. Afraid that he would fall on the glass shards, she quickly went forward to support him.
However, how could she support Yuan Xudong’s tall body?
She took a few steps back.
With a thud, she was pressed onto the floor by him.
Ye Xiaoxi’s eyes were filled with tears as she felt a sharp pain in her head. Despite that, she didn’t forget to show concern for Yuan Xudong.
She turned her head to check on him.
Her lips brushed past something warm.
Ye Xiaoxi’s eyes widened in shock.
Yuan Xudong’s head leaned weakly against her neck and showed no signs of movement.
She was stunned for a while.
Ye Xiaoxi pushed him away in a flurry and got up to call the chauffeur waiting downstairs to get him to call an ambulance.
When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed Yuan Xudong and found out that he had a gastric ulcer.
They performed surgery on him promptly.
By the time everything was over, it was already past four in the morning.
Yuan Xudong was admitted to the VIP ward.
Ye Xiaoxi was so tired that she could barely keep her eyes open, but she couldn’t bring herself to leave Yuan Xudong alone.
She told the chauffeur to go back and rest while she lay down beside his bed.
She looked after him while sleeping.
Early morning.
Faint golden rays of dawn shone through the glass window and scattered into the room.
Yuan Xudong was awakened by the pain. He frowned slightly and slowly opened his eyes.
He noticed that the place he was in seemed unfamiliar.
He subconsciously wanted to get up.
But her hand was being held down…
He lifted his head and looked in that direction.
He saw Ye Xiaoxi, who was sleeping soundly, holding his hand.
Yuan Xudong remembered what happened last night and his brows furrowed.
Alcohol truly messed things up.
Why did he have to say such harsh words to a little girl?
She hadn’t done anything wrong.
Yuan Xudong was a little annoyed.
After a few minutes of silence, he couldn’t help but look at Ye Xiaoxi’s face.
Accustomed to the treacherous nature and ambitious schemes of people, he found himself at a loss on how to deal with someone with such a simple heart.
She approached him foolishly, not understanding how dangerous her actions were.
She would suffer losses sooner or later.
Yuan Xudong looked at her for a long time before he stood up gently.
Then, he walked over to Ye Xiaoxi and tried to lift her onto the hospital bed.
However, just as he bent down, his stomach throbbed with pain.
He couldn’t help but gasp.
Ye Xiaoxi, who was sound asleep, seemed to have sensed something. She shuddered and opened her eyes.
She looked to her side.
“Uncle, you’re awake! Why are you out of bed? The doctor performed surgery on you and instructed you to rest well!” Ye Xiaoxi insisted on helping him back to the bed.
Yuan Xudong pushed her away politely and kept his distance.
“I’m fine.”
“How can you be fine? Look, your wound is bleeding. I’ll call the doctor over to bandage your wound.” Ye Xiaoxi turned around but was stopped by Yuan Xudong.
He spoke clearly, “Xiaoxi, I’ll make things clear to you today. In the future, don’t casually approach me. Everyone in the Yuan family knew that Father was choosing an heir. All of us brothers are secretly working hard to fight for the position of the future family head. Whoever you are close to represents whose side you’re on. If I win in the future, 1 might be able to bring you some benefits. But if I fail, your actions will be suicidal..”
