After Rebirth, I Married the Archenemy of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 240

If Ye Jinghuai was from a prominent family, then no matter how Gu Yan Cheng tried to suppress Ye Jinghuai, he would never be able to overpower Ye Jinghuai. It would have been easy to handle.

But if that's not the case...

What exactly is the relationship between Ye Jinghuai and the Ye family?

I haven't heard anything about it.

Is there any connection between the Ye family and the prominent families?

Of course, Ye Jinghuai would not answer An Nuan's questions either.

He just remained silent.

An Nuan helped Ye Jinghuai re-apply the gauze over his wound. When applying the medical tape, she confirmed, "Do you still need to tape it? Not allowing it to breathe will impede the healing even more."

"It's fine," Ye Jinghuai casually responded.

In fact, An Nuan knew...

Ye Jinghuai was afraid that the wound would tear open and bleed, exposing his identity.

But...

Who exactly was he hiding from?

Her eyes narrowed, "I heard that the Ye family and the former Ye aristocracy of Beiwen Country have some connections."

Ye Jinghuai was still unmoved.

"Are you one of them?" An Nuan asked.

She was very curious about his identity.

Ye Jinghuai's throat moved slightly.

Who knows who said a man's Adam's apple is very sexy.

Previously, she didn't think so.

But now, she truly understood.

A good-looking man is pleasing in every aspect.

"Are you referring to the former imperial Ye clan that once controlled the prominent families before being overthrown by an alliance of those families?" Ye Jinghuai asked back so candidly that it made An Nuan a little surprised.

"I was just randomly guessing," An Nuan suddenly felt a little reticent.

She suddenly didn't want to hear the answer anymore.

Ye Jinghuai laughed softly.

His eyes scornfully looked at her, "Are you sure you were just randomly guessing?"

An Nuan gritted her teeth.

Being provoked by Ye Jinghuai like this, she felt an urge to resist.

Just as she was about to open her mouth...

"Anyway, I won't say anything no matter what."

What the hell.

And here she was, with her heart flipping up and down countless times.

She was truly cowardly when facing certain truths.

"Get out," An Nuan didn't want to agonize over this anymore either.

She thought...

They would cross that bridge when they came to it.

This was the path she chose.

No matter how prominent his background was, she would accept it when the time came.

She turned around, preparing to leave.

Suddenly, her arm was fiercely grabbed by someone.

An Nuan frowned.

What does this jerk want to do now?!

"Come here," Ye Jinghuai called her over.

His tone was still very overbearing.

"What for?"

"To finish what we didn't complete just now."

"Ye Jinghuai."

"Didn't I say earlier that I couldn't control myself anymore?"

"Weren't you controlling yourself pretty well?" An Nuan retorted.

Just now, he was clearly highly aroused as if he was about to erupt at any moment.

And now, wasn't he perfectly calm?!

In fact, she was secretly quite impressed by Ye Jinghuai's powerful self-restraint.

"No I wasn't," Ye Jinghuai stated plainly.

An Nuan stared at him.

The next second, she watched with wide eyes as he pulled her by the hand and moved closer...

An Nuan felt like her entire head was going to start steaming.

Can this man... not be so shameless?

What happened to modesty?!

Restraint?!

Integrity?!

She just looked at Ye Jinghuai.

The whole time.

An Nuan felt like her hand was really going to rot away.

She kept rinsing her palm repeatedly, washing it over and over.

"Come help me take a bath."

"Ye Jinghuai, you can't take liberties! Wasn't what happened just now enough?!" An Nuan's face was flushed red.

Alright, it had been very red the entire time.

Flushed.

A lovely shade of red.

Ye Jinghuai was very fond of it.

An Nuan felt like she would be... utterly ashamed from the way Ye Jinghuai was looking at her.

In the end, who was the one who should have felt embarrassed about what happened earlier.

Who was the utterly shameless one?!

"Be good. It's easy for water to get into the wounds if I bathe alone."

"Can't you just not bathe?"

"I have to."

"That's your problem then."

What does it have to do with her?

"Anyway, you've already seen all the critical areas..." Ye Jinghuai trailed off suggestively.

His expression was still a little coy.

Pretending.

You pretend!

"Is there anything left you haven't seen yet?" Ye Jinghuai continued, and even winked flirtatiously at An Nuan.

Damnit.

When a man turns coquettish.

There's nothing women can do.

An Nuan always felt that the only reason she kept giving in to Ye Jinghuai was because he annoyed her to no end.

It was only because if she didn't satisfy Ye Jinghuai, he would nag at her incessantly like some Tang monk.

Therefore...

She gave in again.

At the risk of her hands rotting away, she helped Ye Jinghuai bathe.

With great difficulty...

She finally finished washing that Buddha statue.

An Nuan was also soaked, and had even broken into a sweat. She simply took a bath herself as well.

When she came out wearing a bathrobe, she saw Ye Jinghuai already sleeping soundly in bed.

He had even closed the door.

An Nuan ignored Ye Jinghuai and called the shopping mall to have them deliver another set of dress clothes. Only then did she get into bed and lie down beside Ye Jinghuai.

It was really out of habit at this point that they slept together in one bed.

With her eyes closed, An Nuan felt somewhat drowsy after all the chaos just now. She wanted to take a nap.

Then, she felt someone behind her pull her into an embrace.

An Nuan was a little speechless.

Can he please... keep his distance from her?

They were... married in name only.

Does he understand what that means?!

She really wanted to curse!

...

Xia Qiqi woke up from her sleep.

It was Xiao Qiang waking her, clearly angry, "Xia Qiqi, is this how you look after Nanchen?! Do you really want him to die?!"

Xia Qiqi was yelled at for no reason she understood.

She remembered she was playing games.

But she got angry after losing two rounds so she stopped playing.

She put her phone aside and occasionally glanced at Nanchen's IV drip to see how much had been transfused. In the end, she actually fell asleep.

She didn't know how she fell asleep.

She remembered that the last time she looked at Nanchen's IV drip, there was still a lot left, estimated to take over an hour to finish transfusing.

How did it finish transfusing already?

Not only did it finish, the syringe had refluxed a long tube of blood.

It looked somewhat frightening.

Nanchen's private doctor was currently working to remedy the situation.

Xiao Qiang was furious.

Did she place too much trust in Xia Qiqi?!

This woman had always been careless.

She didn't know how to care about others at all.

After yelling at Xia Qiqi, Xiao Qiang anxiously watched the doctor's actions.

After a while...

Once the liquid in the IV tube was absorbed, the doctor removed Nanchen's needle, "Madam, please help press down on Mr. Xiao's arm. The blood refluxed just now so you'll need to apply more pressure this time for proper clotting."

"Alright." Xiao Qiang agreed and was about to reach over. But she suddenly paused and turned to Xia Qiqi, "You come do it!"

Xia Qiqi's face was very reluctant.

"Hurry over and press on Nanchen's arm," Xiao Qiang ordered.

"Why do I have to..." Xia Qiqi's words were suppressed by Xiao Qiang's imposing manner.

Ever since divorcing her father, this Xiao Qiang woman actually dared to bully her like this.

She gritted her teeth.

But still went over in the end.

Then she followed the doctor's instructions to apply pressure on Nanchen's arm.

Despite her bad mood, she didn't refuse due to that shred of guilt.

"Xia Qiqi, if I hadn't come in to check earlier out of unease, Nanchen could have died without you even realizing it!" Xiao Qiang was still furious and hadn't calmed down from Xia Qiqi's concession.

In fact, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got.
