"Aren't you busy with work today?" Bai Suye found a topic to chat with him.
"You want to chase me away?"
"..." Bai Suye found that Ye Xiao was as sensitive as ever. She shook her head, "I was just asking casually. Besides, I'm so bored staying in the hotel alone, and at least I have someone to talk to if you're here, so why would I chase you away?"
"Just because I can entertain you, you won't chase me away?"
"Of course not."
"what else?"
She smiled, "I'm making desserts this afternoon, and I'm worried that no one will let me taste them. You're here, aren't you the best guinea pig?"
“…” Night Owl’s face darkened.
This woman actually used him as a test subject.
After staring at her, Ye Xiao stopped staying in the kitchen and went into the living room. At this moment, the doorbell rang. She thought it was Yu An and the others, so she ignored it.
… … …
Bai Suye brought two bowls of porridge to the restaurant.
"ate breakfast."
She called out, but heard nothing, so she turned to the living room. Ye Xiao was sitting on the sofa, flipping through the documents in his hand. When she got closer, she found that it was her medical examination report.
"What's wrong?" Bai Suye lowered her head to glance at Ye Xiao's face and found that he looked solemn and his brows were tightly furrowed.
“Are my test results bad?”
Night Owl raised his eyes to look at her and said, "Let's go to the hospital later."
"Very serious?"
Ye Xiao put the result aside, pursed his lips tightly, and said nothing. He just stood up and held her hand tightly. With just such a small action, Bai Suye could clearly feel Ye Xiao's nervousness.
He rarely feels this way.
When he was in the Sayan Desert and was chased by those people, he never got nervous.
"Night Owl, tell me the truth, what happened?"
Night Owl looked at her with a gloomy gaze, "There is a tumor in the body, but it is still unclear whether it is benign or malignant, so, we will do another biopsy today."
I see…
So, if it's malignant...
"Hasn't it been determined whether it is malignant or benign? Don't be so stern." Bai Suye didn't think in a bad way, and tried to speak in a relaxed tone. He raised his hand and stroked Ye Xiao's face, "Look at me now, isn't everything fine?"
Night Owl breathed heavily, grabbed her hand and used some force, "What do you mean you are fine? Something has grown inside your body, how can you be fine? I think you are not fine at all! Don't you have a physical examination every year? Is this what you mean by "every part of your body is healthy?"
The more Night Owl spoke, the angrier he became, and his tone became worse and worse.
Bai Suye was stunned by his yelling. She looked at him for a while before she found her voice. "... Ye Xiao, I am a patient now. How can you treat a patient like this? Not only did you not comfort me, but you were also so mean to me."
If someone has a poor mental quality, they would probably be discouraged by his scolding.
After she said this, Ye Xiao's expression eased a lot after being stunned. He loosened his grip on her hand. But the next moment, he tightened it again, and with his long arms, he pulled her into his arms, letting her hands wrap around his waist.
His chin rested on the top of her head. He said nothing. She could only hear his slightly heavy breathing.
besides…
I could vaguely feel his worry.
In fact, she could understand this feeling very well - wasn't the bullet buried in his heart also tugging at her heart all the time
For a long time, Ye Xiao said nothing. Finally, he just gently pushed her away and said, "Go have breakfast. After breakfast, we will go to the hospital immediately."
"Okay. But the outcome is not certain at all, so don't be so nervous."
Night Owl stared at her deeply and said, "You don't understand."
The feeling of being nervous about someone is that even the slowness or rapidity of their breathing can tug at their heart. This feeling is not something that everyone can understand.
Bai Suye smiled. Why didn't she understand? She knew it very well.
… …
During breakfast, Ye Xiao remained silent. It was obvious that the tumor in her body had a great impact on him.
If this happened to him, he wouldn't even blink. But when it happened to her, the impact on him became completely different.
"Night Owl." After a moment of silence, Bai Suye spoke first. She put down the spoon and looked at him seriously. It was obvious that she spoke after careful consideration: "I have something important to ask you."
Night Owl glanced at her and said, "If it's about the contract, you'd better not say anything. I'm in a bad mood today and don't want to discuss such a sensitive topic with you."
He could still see through her thoughts easily.
Bai Suye pursed her lips. Although he said this, she still continued to ask: "Are you planning to sign the contract in advance?"
Night Owl didn't say anything, obviously determined not to give her any response on this issue.
He didn't want the two of them to stand on opposite sides anymore.
"Yexiao, this contract is the biggest bomb for our country S. You should understand why I am obsessed with this matter." Bai Suye spoke again. In front of work, she was still herself, rational, calm, and good at provoking him.
Night Owl finally stopped drinking porridge.
"Do you want to be with me?" He looked at her straight, without answering her, but just asked back.
She was startled, paused for a moment, and nodded.
Not just wanting, but... wanting very much...
"Then do you know what the consequences will be if this contract is terminated because of you and me?"
Bai Suye didn't say anything else.
She knew very well that this contract was not an ordinary contract, it involved hundreds of billions of dollars and involved national politics and military.
If Ye Xiao cancels the two contracts because of her, he will be deserted by his friends and relatives, and all his career will be ruined. The two of them will also become the targets of the three countries. I am afraid that the people of Ferens will not let them go.
At that time, they were the real target of public criticism. The people from the National Security Bureau would sincerely protect her, but would they protect Night Owl? I'm afraid they wanted Night Owl's life more.
Thinking of this, Bai Suye felt a tightness in his chest.
She felt like she was in a dead end with no way out.
"Just pretend I never asked this question." Bai Suye came back to his senses and smiled, "From now on, I won't care about it anymore. Let others worry about it."
Night Owl looked at her with inquiring eyes, "Do you really not care, or are you just pretending not to care?"
"I really don't care."
Night Owl didn't say anything else. He just stared at her for a while before saying, "Continue eating."
In fact, Night Owl is not afraid of such a result.
However, he couldn't let the lives of two people become precarious and displaced. Once he couldn't even protect his own woman, he wouldn't even be qualified to love a woman!
