The richest man's parents were kidnapped, and his adorable son captivated the entire family.

She had ulterior motives; if she took him to the hospital, she could escape from his side.

But now Xie Beiling would rather endure it than go to the hospital; she was really worried about his health.

"As long as you can stay by my side, even if it hurts, I will feel content," Xie Beiling said weakly.

"Are you stupid?" Xie Yumin scolded, "Why torture your own body?"

“This isn’t about torturing my body,” Xie Beiling retorted. “Seeing you gives me hope for life. Even if my body doesn’t feel any pain after you leave, the heartache I feel will make it impossible for me to live.”

Xie Yumin stared blankly at Xie Beiling, as if something was slowly growing in her heart.

"I want to drink water," Xie Beiling said, breaking the silence.

Xie Yumin snapped out of her daze and bent down to pick up the teacup.

"Be careful, it's a little hot."

"It's okay, even if it's hot, you can still drink it."

Stop joking!

Xie Yumin had never realized before that Xie Beiling was so talkative.

After drinking a glass of water, Xie Beiling looked at Xie Yumin pitifully again, "I'm a little hungry again."

Before Xie Yumin could respond, he began to describe his life over the past few days: "I haven't had a proper meal in a long time. All I want to do every day is drink, get drunk, so that I can see you come back to my side and take care of me gently."

Xie Yumin did not question his words, because when she went to the kitchen, she saw that the trash can and the table were full of empty wine bottles.

His chest pain appears to be caused by drinking alcohol.

Xie Yumin asked awkwardly, "Do you have any ingredients at home?"

"No," Xie Beiling said, "but we can order takeout."

"Let's just order takeout," Xie Yumin thought for a moment.

The time it takes to wait for the ingredients, plus the time she takes to cook, means it will take at least two or three hours before we can eat it.

Ordering takeout directly will fill your stomach in at most half an hour.

"No, takeout isn't healthy," Xie Beiling refused.

"Aren't you very hungry? Ordering takeout is the quickest way."

"It was you who did it. I can endure it for as long as it takes. I can wait."

Xie Yumin realized that he just wanted to eat the food she cooked.

Seeing how upset he was, I decided to agree. Consider it making up for the punch I gave him.

Xie Yumin glanced at Xie Beiling, who was still on the ground, and asked, "Can you get up by yourself?"

"No." Xie Beiling had already made a gesture as if Xie Yumin was helping him up.

She was prepared to use all her strength, but when she actually touched Xie Beiling's body, she felt that he was cooperating with her, trying his best not to make her feel heavy.

A moment's distraction caused Xie Yumin to press her entire body against Xie Beiling when she put him down.

Suddenly, she felt a touch on her waist. Xie Yumin looked down and saw Xie Beiling's hand on her waist. Turning back, her eyes met Xie Beiling's gaze.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Their breaths grew hot as Xie Beiling greedily tightened his embrace around Xie Yumin's waist, pressing her body against his for even closer contact.

As their faces drew closer and their lips were about to touch, Xie Yumin suddenly jolted and instantly got off Xie Beiling's body.

"I'll go see what other dishes we can order."

Xie Yumin practically fled into the kitchen.

Xie Beiling, still lying on the sofa, wore a happy smile. Touching his chest, he felt grateful for Xie Yumin's punch. If it weren't for that punch, how could she have stopped her from leaving, and what would have happened afterward?

However, she doesn't threaten to leave; it's only temporary. If he wants her to stay by his side permanently, he needs to find a way to dispel her concerns and get her to genuinely stay and spend the rest of her life with him.

Xie Yumin stood in front of the cabinet, her chest pounding, her heart pounding as if it were about to jump out of her skin.

She raised her hand and covered it, trying to stop her pounding heartbeat with pressure.

"Xie Yumin, don't get involved! You can't develop feelings for him!"

He spoke sternly, giving a stern warning to the slightest stirrings of thought in his heart.

If they cross moral boundaries and get together, it will hurt not only Old Mrs. Xie, but also Xie Beiling. He will have to bear too much pressure and protect her.

Xie Yumin looked up at the sofa. The upright backrest completely blocked Xie Beiling, who was lying on it, leaving only his feet dangling outside.

Cook him something to eat as soon as possible, and then leave as quickly as possible!

With this in mind, Xie Yumin took out her phone and entered the mini-program to place an order.

While waiting, Xie Yumin did not return to the living room, but instead contacted Xie Qingyi via WeChat.

Now, the only one who can help her leave Xie Beiling's side is her. After all, she can't tell Old Madam Xie, much less ask her for help.

She felt a brief moment of sadness after successfully sending the message. But after careful consideration, she did not regret it.

I'm thirsty!

Xie Beiling's shouts came from the kitchen.

Xie Yumin seemed not to hear, turned around and faced away from the living room sofa, with her back to the refrigerator.

She pretended to rummage through the refrigerator, hoping to find some ingredients. In reality, she was just staring blankly at the empty space.

Will Qingyi come over after seeing her message?

After receiving money from Xie Qingyi last time, she specifically promised not to have any further contact with Xie Beiling. Only a few days later, she showed up directly at Xie Beiling's current residence.

Anyone would doubt whether her initial promise was sincere.

buzz~

When her phone rang, Xie Yumin immediately picked it up to check.

It was just a harassing message, not a response from Xie Qingyi.

Xie Yumin put her phone back in disappointment. When she looked up, she didn't even notice when Xie Beiling had arrived.

"Did you send a message to Xie Qingyi asking for help?" Xie Beiling asked coldly.

Xie Yumin swallowed hard, feeling a little guilty. But upon closer reflection, she wondered why she should obey Xie Beiling.

"Yes, I don't want to stay here. I hope Sister Qingyi can come and take me away!"

"dream!"

"I don't think so! Xie Beiling, even if you keep me here today, what about tomorrow? The day after tomorrow? Are you just going to do nothing but stay by my side?"

Faced with Xie Yumin's anger, Xie Beiling restrained himself from paying attention.

Regardless of the future, at least she's by his side now.

Xie Beiling reached out and snatched Xie Yumin's phone, then called Xie Qingyi directly.

The phone rang twice before being answered, and Xie Qingyi's voice came from the other end.

"Xie Beiling?"

The call was from Xie Yumin. Xie Qingyi saw the message and guessed that the call was from Xie Beiling.

"You don't need to come. Even if you do, I won't follow your orders."
