Chapter 157: Can't You See?
"You can check all you want, I really am fine," I said candidly.
I had checked myself over carefully before daring to come out of the bathroom.
Yu Longting took my pulse several times on both wrists to make sure I wasn't injured, and his face only relaxed a bit, "You must have been hurt by the shock from me, anyone else would have been seriously injured by now..."
"It wasn't on purpose, it just happened in the bathtub, my Spiritual Eye opened up all of a sudden. And as you know, with my little Spiritual Power, I can't control it unless it's a fluke."
I felt like I was Duan Yu from The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, dealing with the Spiritual Eye as casually as he dealt with the Six Meridian Divine Sword.
Without a clue on how to master the technique, I clumsily possessed this unique skill, yet had no idea how to use it.
Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't, quite embarrassing.
Yu Longting looked like he wanted to blame me but couldn't find a way to do so; he gave me a conflicted look and then fiercely used the hair dryer to blow my hair dry.
He only went to open the door after he had almost finished.
I figured Ye Jiqing must have grown impatient and probably left already.
But unexpectedly, he was still sitting in his wheelchair at the door, dressed sharp in a suit.
In his arms, he held a bouquet of flowers, on which rested an exquisite little velvet box.
His face was a bit ashen and ugly, with a complex look as he eyed me and Yu Longting.
This guy was also strange.
He looked like he was courting me but didn't seem to plan on backing down when he saw me with Yu Longting.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, I just happened to be taking a bath. I'm clumsy, always needing my boyfriend's help," I scratched my head apologetically and introduced him, "This is Yu Longting, my boyfriend."
"Hello, my name is Ye Jiqing, Su Wan's high school classmate," Ye Jiqing cordially extended his hand to Yu Longting.
Yu Longting looked down, a hint of mischief in his eyes.
Just when I thought he definitely wouldn't shake hands with Ye Jiqing, and even if he did, he'd crush his hand,
The next second, Yu Longting casually grasped Ye Jiqing's slender, well-proportioned hand, his voice cool and lazy, "Nice to meet you, Classmate Ye, that flower, and the box with the flower, are…?"
After a normal handshake, he quickly withdrew his hand.
But you could still tell he was quite disgusted, holding it reluctantly.
"I plan to give it to Su Wan. It's quite presumptuous of me, but I don't want to hide it—I want to get back together with Su Wan. We were lovers in high school," Ye Jiqing said straightforwardly, looking directly at Yu Longting.
I laughed dryly, "Haha, I have a boyfriend now, I won't consider getting back together. Besides, you heard when I talked with Beichen, I'm pregnant. You should take the flowers and this box back—"
"Sis-in-law, don't give it to me, I want to see what's inside this box," Yu Rongling popped out from some corner, snatched the little box, and opened it excitedly, "Wow, I'm blinded, my eyes..."
As soon as he opened the box, he covered his eyes and started screaming exaggeratedly.
I saw this guy goofing around, and a wave of exasperation came over me, "Is… is the thing in the box a ring?"
It was incomprehensible; Ye Jiqing gave me a ring, seriously!
"Wanwan, this is the engagement ring I prepared for you," Ye Jiqing explained, seeing my impatient expression, "Yes, I heard everything you said to Beichen, you're pregnant, with Snake Lord's child. It's precisely for this reason that I feel even more compelled to express my feelings to you."
After speaking, Ye Jiqing gave Yu Longting a long look.
"Damn!! This young man is bold, knowing my sis-in-law is pregnant with my brother's child, and my brother is the Snake Lord, yet you dare to hit on her, tsk tsk, quite audacious, I admire it!" Yu Rongling tried on the ring on his own finger, but it was too big for anything but his pinky, "But I have to say, this diamond is really big, your spending is generous."
