The Time-Limited Love and Marriage-Chapter 267

At this moment, Ye Chen was still carelessly wasting time at Night Color.

This evening, a business partner, Mr. Yun, came to Night Color to drink.

Ye Chen personally received him and even found the most top-tier beauties in Night Color to keep him company.

However, just after midnight, Mr. Yun’s wife was incessantly phoning him, urging him to come back quickly.

Mr. Yun was both annoyed and embarrassed: "Having a wife and a family is inconvenient like this, can’t even have fun outside properly."

Mr. Yun reluctantly stayed a bit longer, only to be bombarded with relentless CALLs from his wife.

"Young Master Ye, I can only head back first. Otherwise, that tigress at home is going to pluck my sparse few hairs right off my head."

Upon leaving, Mr. Yun kept apologizing to Ye Chen, feeling utterly humiliated by how tightly his domestic tigress had him under her thumb.

But what Mr. Yun didn’t know was that what he had was exactly what Ye Chen envied the most. frёewebnoѵēl.com

He also wished for a life where someone had control over him.

However, Ye Chen was always a playboy, rarely any woman dared to control him, and even fewer could actually do so.

It seemed that out of his many romantic histories, only Yu Dingding could truly tether him.

And Yu Dingding didn’t even have to speak outright; just one look from her was enough to make him obediently submit.

So, the time he lived with Yu Dingding was truly the most regular and orderly period in Ye Chen’s life.

But now, with Yu Dingding ignoring him, his life had become a mess.

Although it was still the same lifestyle as before, Ye Chen found himself feeling unfamiliar with, and even somewhat unable to adapt to, this state of living.

Yu Dingding...

He couldn’t find her anywhere.

It felt as if her previous presence in his life was just like a dream.

Ye Chen even thought about giving up searching since Yu Dingding was determined not to be found.

He didn’t believe that he couldn’t forget Yu Dingding!

But even after seeing Mr. Yun off, Ye Chen continued to drink alone in the private room.

Because even if he left Night Color, he didn’t know where else to go.

At that moment, he received a call from Fu Youhan.

"Why are you free to call me in the middle of the night? Got kicked out of bed by Xiao Moxi?"

Fu Youhan didn’t lend a hand with Yu Dingding’s situation, and Ye Chen couldn’t help taking his anger out on him.

"It’s all because of you," Fu Youhan said.

"How could I possibly be a bother to you? I’ve been drinking at Night Color all night, haven’t even seen you or Xiao Moxi."

Ye Chen didn’t take it seriously and continued to drink his liquor.

Yet, Fu Youhan’s voice took on a more serious tone.

"Xixi is with Yu Dingding in Emperor City, leaving me alone to endure this endless night. Tell me, isn’t this your fault?"

This time, Ye Chen quickly grasped the crux of the matter.

"Dingding went to Emperor City? What is she doing there?"

He knew that after falling from the graces of being Emperor City’s number one socialite to a social butterfly of Night Color, the last thing Yu Dingding wanted was to set foot in Emperor City again, afraid of being laughed at.

So he was convinced that Yu Dingding would not return to Emperor City without a good reason.

As expected, Fu Youhan brought him bad news.

"Her father tried to jump off a building, was previously in the hospital for emergency treatment. They managed to save him, but it seems he will have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair."

Ye Chen’s head buzzed, and it took a long time for him to come back to his senses.

Until Fu Youhan said, "I’ve told you everything I know. For the rest, you’ll have to find out on your own."

"Thanks, bro."

After expressing his gratitude, Ye Chen ended the call with Fu Youhan, then phoned Yuan Zhou to have him urgently investigate how exactly Yu Dingding’s father suddenly jumped from a building, and what his current condition was.

During the wait for Yuan Zhou’s reply, Ye Chen felt like lighting a cigarette.

But after fumbling with it for a long time without success, he could only toss his lighter and cigarette aside in irritation.

Yuan Zhou’s investigation was swift, and he soon replied to Ye Chen.

"Mr. Yu is said to have jumped after watching a certain video which caused him to suffer a mental breakdown. I haven’t found the video yet. As for the surgery, it seems to have been a success, but being able to use a wheelchair for the rest of his life is already the best outcome."

Ye Chen’s face turned extremely awkward upon hearing this.

Because Yu Dingding’s father was put in prison by him.

Now that something like this had happened while he was still in prison, Yu Dingding would probably blame Ye Chen for everything.

Yu Dingding had already expressed her desire not to see him again. With her father’s incident on top, would she ever want to see him again in this lifetime?

But no matter what, Ye Chen knew he bore an unshirkable responsibility for this, so he promptly arranged for a private jet to fly to Emperor City immediately...

At three o’clock in the morning, Ye Chen appeared at the entrance of Yu Tongshu’s hospital room.

At that time, Jiang Moxi and Yu Dingding were still inside.

Jiang Moxi was asleep on the sofa, while Yu Dingding didn’t dare close her eyes, clutching Yu Tongshu’s hand the entire time, as if she feared that she might never see him again if she wasn’t careful.

Ye Chen stood outside the hospital room, gazing longingly at Yu Dingding’s beautiful profile.

Perhaps it was his own illusion, but although it had only been a dozen days since he last saw Yu Dingding, she seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and her aura felt quite different from before.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Chen still knocked on the door, then pushed it open and entered.

In his expectation, upon seeing him, Yu Dingding should have been extremely agitated and hysterically driven him out of the room.

But that didn’t happen.

Yu Dingding merely glanced at him, then indifferently withdrew her gaze, much like one would do with a stranger.

Ye Chen felt a tightness in his heart, but he still approached Yu Dingding and squatted in front of her.

"Dingding, I know I should take most of the blame for uncle’s accident; if I hadn’t sent him there, all these troubles wouldn’t have happened."

Ye Chen’s voice was hoarse to the point of being unrecognizable.

But Yu Dingding showed no reaction, still focusing solely on Yu Tongshu.

It was Jiang Moxi, dozing on the sofa, who woke up.

Jiang Moxi wasn’t surprised to see Ye Chen and even nodded slightly at him.

In fact, with such a big incident happening to Yu Tongshu, even if Fu Youhan hadn’t told Ye Chen, the prison would have informed him by tomorrow morning at the latest.

"I’ll go get some water, you two talk."

Knowing that Ye Chen must have a lot to say to Yu Dingding, Jiang Moxi left the room to give them space to talk.

Once Jiang Moxi was gone, Ye Chen again reached for Yu Dingding’s unoccupied hand.

"Dingding, I will definitely find the best doctors to treat uncle, so don’t condemn me to death all at once, okay..."

If it weren’t for hearing his own voice, Ye Chen wouldn’t have known that he could sound so abjectly humble.

He even pressed his forehead against Yu Dingding’s palm, hoping for any kind of response from her, even if it meant being slapped a few times, it would be better than the current indifference.

But amidst all his promises, Yu Dingding didn’t pay any attention to him, nor did she glance at him again.

He stubbornly clung to Yu Dingding’s hand, and she let him cling, treating him as if he were air.

Nevertheless, Ye Chen did not get discouraged; he still insistently stayed by Yu Dingding’s side.

Until the next day at noon, when Yu Tongshu woke up...
