The Scheming Ex-Husband's Courtship-Chapter 724 - 627 Not Allowed to Leave Even a Single Step

Chapter 724: Chapter 627 Not Allowed to Leave Even a Single Step

Ye Rui was halfway through packing her clothes when Leng Shaoqing entered the room.

"Ye Rui, what are you trying to do?" Leng Shaoqing’s face suddenly darkened. He stepped forward and grabbed her arm, "You are not allowed to leave here, not even one step."

Ye Rui stared at him, her smile cold: "Actually, I have never understood why you married me when you don’t like me."

There was a moment of stunned silence in Leng Shaoqing’s eyes.

"Why bother, Leng Shaoqing, if you don’t love, then let go."

"Who has been filling your head with nonsense, is it Qin Youyou?"

"I’ve always tried to believe in you, no matter how others tried to instigate, I told myself to trust you, but what I’ve seen with my own eyes, how can I continue to believe?" Ye Rui’s eyes reddened, her heart torn, "Since you don’t love me, then I am willing to fulfill you. Go find your true love, and I will search for my freedom. From now on, we owe nothing to each other, living our separate lives."

We owe nothing to each other, living our separate lives.

Upon hearing these words, Leng Shaoqing’s heart suddenly felt a piercing pain. He didn’t understand what this feeling was, but his instinct told him that he would never let such a thing happen.

"I’ve said it before, don’t even think about leaving me." Leng Shaoqing clenched her wrist, perhaps not controlling his strength, her face turned somewhat pale. He quickly loosened his grip, his tone softened, "Ye Rui, don’t overthink it. Aren’t we good this way? No one can bully you, you can live a carefree life, your flower room can thrive more, and your Ye Family can continue to prosper."

"This is not what I want."

"Ye Rui, why be so greedy?"

"Greedy? I want my husband’s love, and you think that’s being greedy." Ye Rui laughed angrily, "For you, a marriage that exists only in name is acceptable, but for me, such a marriage is as useless as chicken ribs."

Ye Rui turned around and continued packing, completely ignoring the fury of the man behind her. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"I said you’re not allowed to leave." Leng Shaoqing suddenly strode forward, pulling all the clothes she had half-packed onto the floor, and grabbed her by the shoulder, his eyes flashing red: "Ye Rui, don’t push me."

Ye Rui met his gaze, bitter smile: "Why not go find the person you like, if she suits you better than me, why trouble me?"

"What exactly did you see yesterday?"

"Do I really have to say it myself? I don’t want to make everyone too embarrassed."

"No matter what you saw, you are not allowed to leave."

"Unless you break my legs."

"Fine, then I’ll break your legs." He clasped her chin,

Ye Rui forcefully pushed him away: "Leng Shaoqing, don’t touch me."

The maid boldly reached out and lifted the blanket that was half-covering her face, only then realizing her skin was flushed and somewhat abnormal.

Touching her forehead with her hand, the maid exclaimed, "Madam, you have a fever, and it seems quite severe."

She rushed out hurriedly, shouting, "Sir, it’s not good, the madam has a fever."

Leng Shaoqing’s complexion had been poor all day, causing every servant and butler at home to be afraid to even breathe heavily. After smoking in the study, a servant rushed over in a commotion.

He immediately extinguished the cigarette and sprang up from his chair, "Call Jiang Haoran for the butler."

When Ye Rui saw Jiang Haoran again, she sighed silently in her heart.

"Didn’t I tell you to take your medicine on time?" Jiang Haoran took her hand and expertly found the vein to insert the needle, "Relying on willpower to get through it is simply foolish."

Ye Rui closed her eyes and remained silent, looking utterly resigned.

Jiang Haoran adjusted the IV: "The body is your own, don’t make it hard on yourself. You sleep for now, I’ll be right here watching."

Ye Rui remained silent, now feeling averse to all of Leng Shaoqing’s friends she saw.

"How is it going?" A familiar voice suddenly echoed in her ear, and Ye Rui, who was about to drift to sleep, suddenly opened her eyes and met Leng Shaoqing’s gaze, seeing tension in the depths of his eyes.

Ye Rui scoffed coldly in her heart. His concern in the past would have been sweet to her, but now, it felt ironic, and there was also a dull pain, pain penetrating deep into her bones.

"Shaoqing, let’s talk outside." Jiang Haoran stood up and went out first. Leng Shaoqing glanced at Ye Rui, who had turned her head away, and followed him out, closing the door behind him.

Jiang Haoran leaned against the railing on the second floor, his dark eyes intensely fixed on him, "You’ve been too rough, her arm is all bruised, how strong were you? She’s still ill, she was showing signs of getting better, but then the fever started again. No matter the issues between you, violence isn’t the solution. Doesn’t seeing her like this make your heart hurt?"

Leng Shaoqing took out a cigarette from his pocket, upon hearing Jiang Haoran’s accusations, he looked profoundly at his friend with dissatisfaction and accusation in his eyes.

"Aren’t you overly concerned? She’s my wife."

Jiang Haoran was taken aback: "If you think my concern is overstepping, I apologize. I just feel too sorry for Ye Rui. I can tell she truly likes you and wants to wholeheartedly live a life with you, but what about you?"

"Jiang Haoran, you’re a doctor, not a psychiatrist. My matters with her are none of your business, just focus on treating the illness." Leng Shaoqing suddenly grabbed Jiang Haoran’s collar, a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Don’t meddle in other’s affairs."

Jiang Haoran, unfazed, met his gaze directly: "Shaoqing, if you don’t love Ye Rui, then let her go. I can see struggle, unwillingness, conflict, and cruelty in your eyes, so give it up, it’s not too late!"

Leng Shaoqing stared at him for a moment, then slowly loosened his grip: "I won’t give up, you understand."

"I don’t understand."

"You understand." Leng Shaoqing took out a lighter to light his cigarette, reiterating once more: "Again, focus on your own matters."

Ye Rui’s IV was completed, she had sweated through her clothes, but she lay there as if she could not feel it.

"Ye Rui, this is your medicine for tonight. Remember to take it on time; not taking your medication won’t heal the illness." Jiang Haoran placed the meds and a glass of water to the side, "Torturing your own body is the least wise behavior. You’re a smart girl; I believe you understand this."

"Thank you." Ye Rui slowly breathed out the two words.

"Then I’ll head back first, take good care of yourself." Jiang Haoran gave her a meaningful glance and sighed silently.
