“The suspicions you have, I share them too, and as for why things have come to this, there is a reason,” Ye Tian didn’t want to say too much, he had to confirm the person’s identity first.
After all, his identity, the organization he used to be in, is a secret, a big secret.
The two looked at each other with mutual suspicion, and in the end, they left each others’ field of vision as if by an unspoken agreement.
They both hoped the other was a former teammate, but they were afraid if it was true and their suspicions were correct, then any one of them could be the traitor.
Ye Tian leisurely arrived at the hospital, because Xiao Yi was there, so people who didn’t look like good folks were everywhere.
These people, seeing it was Ye Tian, did not stop him, allowing him to go smoothly to Xiao Yi’s ward.
Xiao Yi looked even weaker than when Ye Tian had last seen him, as if he could die at any moment, and by his side, attending to him, was Bai Yanwu.
“You’re back?” Ye Tian asked.
“Mhm.” Bai Yanwu’s face showed not much sadness, she didn’t have much affection for this half-brother with the same father but a different mother, and after what happened later, perhaps fear was more prominent.
“You should stay with him; the doctor said, he doesn’t have many days left.” Now Xiao Yi had fallen into a coma.
“I know. Will you agree to that matter?” Bai Yanwu’s eyes, full of charm, were filled with yearning.
“You must have thought it over, otherwise, you wouldn’t come here in the middle of the night,” Bai Yanwu said with a hint of slyness. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel·fiɾe·net
“Let’s go out for a walk.”
“Okay.” Bai Yanwu glanced at Xiao Yi, then followed Ye Tian out.
It was already the wee hours of the morning, and all around it was very quiet, but in the hospital, people were still busy. They went to the back of the hospital, where there was a garden.
“Xiao Yi probably wouldn’t agree with your decision to come back, he wouldn’t tell you, how did you find out?” Ye Tian asked.
“I have my ways. No matter how bad he is, he is still my only relative.”
“Your return this time is very dangerous, if I don’t take over, you will be the target of many people, aren’t you worried at all?”
“Worried, very worried, but I don’t know what’s the meaning of living ! When Dad was around, I was sent overseas, it’s the same now, I have no relatives, friends in a foreign land but that’s not where I’ll stay forever, in the end, I have to come back.”
“You could find someone to marry. If Xiao Yi dies, you could say you are an orphan, no one will care about your identity.”
“Get married? You also know what I’m like, who would want to marry a woman like me?” Bai Yanwu asked Ye Tian.
Ye Tian was truly taken aback; her concerns were legitimate, no one would want to marry such a woman. He was a man; he knew well what men wanted, even more so.
Bai Yanwu was essentially a woman who looks good but wasn’t much use, in that respect probably no one would be interested, but what can be done? She still needs to get married.
“Heh heh, Ye Tian, is it okay if I stay by your side? I don’t need anything from you as long as you let me stay by your side,” Bai Yanwu clung to Ye Tian’s arm.
“I don’t want that.” Ye Tian gently pushed Bai Yanwu’s hand away, “I don’t know how to tell you, it seems like the women who end up with me always get hurt, I have nothing now, what can I give you?”
“I’ve said before, I don’t need those. I also know that your heart only has Miss Tang Su in it, it’s okay, I don’t need you to do much for me, just an occasional glance from you is enough.”
For a woman, and a very beautiful one at that, to plead with you so desperately, to say Ye Tian wasn’t moved would be a lie, but Ye Tian forced himself to be rational and consider this matter.
If he were to accept Bai Yanwu, that meant he would have to take on Xiao Yi’s matters, otherwise, his troubles would never end. But did he really want to deal with those?
Thinking back on the scene he just witnessed, did he really want to live such a life? On second thought, this might also be considered an extension of power; maybe he should just agree.
Ye Tian quickly analyzed the pros and cons of the matter in his mind, and in the end, decided to accept Xiao Yi’s request.
“Miss, big brother has woken up.” A person, drenched in sweat, ran over to Bai Yanwu and said.
“Alright. I’ll head back now.”
“I’ll go with you,” Ye Tian pressed his forehead and said to Bai Yanwu.
Bai Yanwu understood what Ye Tian meant, guessing that he had probably decided to accept the matter and was very pleased.
“Are you two together?” Xiao Yi looked at Ye Tian and Bai Yanwu as they came in together.
“Yes. I wasn’t busy tonight so I thought I’d come over to see if you were dead yet.” Ye Tian still casually took a seat on the chair.
“It won’t be long, don’t rush.”
“The thing you mentioned to me, I’ve thought about it, and I’ve decided to accept.”
“I knew you would accept.”
“But, I have one condition.”
“Make Bai Yanwu the leader, and I’ll just be assisting her. After all, it’s more fitting this way, nobody would be convinced if you gave the position to me.”
“If it’s her, even more people will be unconvinced.”
“I naturally have my methods.”
Bai Yanwu didn’t know why Ye Tian would pull her into this, but she trusted this man wouldn’t harm her; she didn’t know why, but she just did believe in him that much.
“Yanwu, go outside, I want to talk to Ye Tian.”
“Mhm.” Bai Yanwu glanced at Ye Tian, somewhat reluctant, but still left.
“She really likes you,” said Xiao Yi.
“Yes. But I can’t give her what she wants.” Ye Tian cut off any thoughts Xiao Yi might have had.
“You understand my thoughts pretty well.”
“Very well. I always say I like talking to smart people, just like you. Don’t think I’ll take responsibility for anything to do with your sister; it’s impossible. We’re all adults, whatever happens is our own choice.”
“I know, I don’t wish for much, just that she can live safely. I know she’s willing to stay by your side, and you want her to take my place, it’s for this reason. Otherwise, people will gossip about you.”
“Do you think I’m someone who cares about what others think?”
“You’re not, but you’re worried others will look down on Yanwu because of it. Ye Tian, your heart is too soft. My advice to you is, never be soft-hearted in the future. The matters here are not as straightforward as you think, with direct confrontations. More people prefer stabbing from the back.”
“Things must be chaotic outside by now. I don’t know what it will be like later, but after thinking it over, you’re the only one who can hold up. Actually, this incident wasn’t an accident, it’s of my own volition. I’m tired, I really don’t want to keep living this way.”
“Mhm.” Ye Tian didn’t know what to say.
People always say, as death approaches, one speaks kindly. Even if Xiao Yi had been scheming in the past, now that death was nearing, he probably wouldn’t do much else, right?
“The death of Guo Bin, I’m very saddened. I didn’t know he would go to fight you to the death. If I had known, I definitely wouldn’t have feigned death. He’s my only brother, much more important to me than Yanwu, I don’t want him to get hurt, let alone die. But, he’s already dead, what can I do? Even if I killed you, he wouldn’t come back to life. Besides, Bai Yanwu likes you.”
