I must have killed your whole family in my previous life
Ye Xiudu simply felt extremely exasperated, giving the woman lying on the bed a fierce stare as he felt the vessels on his forehead throbbing.
However, as soon as he got angry, he suddenly felt his qi and blood surge violently and immediately spit out a burst of black blood.
(TL: I must say, this ‘coughing blood’ isn’t real life pattern for poisoning, dearests. But is a web novel favourite, so get used :D)
Ye Xiudu couldn’t hold back a sneer as he really felt like choking Yu Qingluo to death right now. Just how could this woman be so cruel? Not much happened, only Nannan’s father identity was exposed and he kissed her and she already wanted to kill him.
The diameter of the black spot on his palm seemed to be increasing and its colour became more and more intense. Although his forehead was scrunched up into a frown, he still proceeded to wake her up.
The moonlight coming from outside of the window was bright and the fire from candles was still flickering alight.
When Yu Qingluo opened her eyes, she only felt that the bed curtains and tassels over her head seemed a bit unfamiliar. Slowly, the images from what preceded her fainting returned to her.
She quickly sat up but found a tall figure standing next to the bed looking at her with great momentum.
Yu Qingluo abruptly moved over the bed and asked in a cold voice: “Where is Nannan?”
“My son, he is naturally being taken care of by me.” Ye Xiudu sat down on the chair next to her bed and stared at her guarded expression with a trace of satisfaction in his own face.
“…” Yu Qingluo clenched her teeth to the point one could hear them rattle. This shameless man, Nannan had been born after 10 months in her belly and was the son that she had raised with great effort. Just how could he say that it was his own son without her consent?
“Ye Xiudu, I want to take Nannan and leave.” She knew that getting involved with him would only bring her more problems and it seemed that she was spot on her guess.
Ye Xiudu let out a laugh: “He is my son, do you think I’ll let my son leave outside just like that?”
“Ye Xiudu!!”
“What?”
Yu Qingluo took a deep breath and said: “Ok, Nannan stays, and I’ll leave.” She didn’t believe that Nannan would actually stay in such a damned place. Although that guy behaved really wildly, he definitely wouldn’t want to be separated from her.
If she was gone Nannan would also find a way to find her.
No matter how bad she could still find someone outside to snatch her son back to her.
Ye Xiudu shook his head: “Nannan stays and you stay as well. We have to settle these debts well.”
Debts?
“Just what debts do we have to settle amongst ourselves?” When she said this Yu Qingluo felt a bit of guilt inward.
Ye Xiudu leaned forward and said: “You gave birth to my son. And even after knowing that we were father and son, you didn’t even think about letting us recognize each other and even tried every means possible to prevent Nannan from getting in touch with me. Shouldn’t this debt be settled?”
He now finally understood why Yu Qingluo looked so weird when she saw his Jade Pendant and why Nannan was so shocked when he had pulled it from inside of his clothes and the reason why this woman desperately ran forward to cover his mouth and bring him back with her.
Originally, it was because when she saw this jade pendant, she knew exactly who he was but still kept on misleading him and hiding Nannan’s identity. This debt should be calculated slowly.
Yu Qingluo’s lips moved: “Humph, and why did I give birth to your son? Wasn’t it because you did THAT to me 6 years ago? If you want to talk about settling debts, then isn’t it only right that I settle that too?”
“Of course.” Ye Xiudu raised his chin slightly and said naturally: “I was the one who ruined your innocence back then, so it’s only natural that I take responsibility for you. Let’s get married on the morrow.”
“…”
“???”
Get married?!
Yu Qingluo almost fell down from the bed. She seriously suspected that either her ears were malfunctioning or there was just something wrong with Ye Xiudu’s brain.
He actually said that wanted to get married? And wanted to marry her?!
‘Don’t joke with me!’ even if he wanted to marry her it didn’t mean that she also wanted to marry him.
“Ye Xiudu, did the poison get to your head?” Yu Qingluo frowned as she asked this question. From the moment she had woken up, she knew that this man had been poisoned by her and that his condition was extremely grave.
However, this person didn’t even try in the least asking her for an antidote and even sat down straight to chat with her about settling debts, not faltering for even a moment.
A mouthful of black blood slid down the corners of Ye Xiudu’s lips, but those lips of his were still curled up into a smile, paying no mind to that.
On the contrary, it was Yu Qingluo whose brows were scrunched into a frown almost moving to handle the antidote over to him.
“Ye Xiudu, if you don’t let me and Nannan leave, then your poisoning might really have no cure.”
Ye Xiudu snorted, his eyes were still focused on her and his voice was still steady: “I told you already. You and Nannan are going to stay.”
“You…” Yu Qingluo felt that she just couldn’t get through his head: “Do you wish to forfeit your life?”
“Haven’t you already seen my abilities? It’s just some poison and death is not a big deal for me.” Ye Xiudu felt that his eyelids started getting heavier and his eyes seemed unfocused. The poison spread very quickly, and he already began feeling the effects of it. Sensing his inwards throbbing painfully.
It’s only some poison!
Only some poison!!
Yu Qingluo let out a cold smile. Ok! If he can bear it so well if he is ‘oh so capable’, then she wants to see just how long he can endure it and if he is going to beg her for mercy when he is about to die.
She wanted to see just who would have the last laugh and who would be that last one standing.
“Ye Xiudu, I can tell you that, if you die from poisoning today, I’ll immediately take Nannan and leave. Then, not only you won’t be able to keep me and Nannan here, but your life will be gone as well.”
This man was so stupid for wanting to insist on this profitless deal.
Ye Xiudu closed his eyes slightly, trying to gather his thoughts a bit more clearly, but as he shook his head, the image in front of him split into two and his vision became even more blurred.
“Ye Xiudu, if you let me and Nannan leave, I’ll give you the antidote immediately.”
His qi and blood were violently surging and his body was already sweating profusely. This woman’s poison was really powerful, it was even able to torment him to the point that he couldn’t even beg for his life nor beg for death.
“Ye Xiudu? Hey, you just need to open your mouth and let me and Nannan… hey…”
‘Bang…’ his eyes were suddenly covered in darkness and he couldn’t see anything else anymore, not even a trace of light.
Ye Xiudu stood up abruptly and, as he took a step, his body fell heavily forward, hitting the bed as he went dark.
Yu Qingluo stared at him, she really wanted to stab this man to death and let him meet with King Yama[1] immediately.
However, looking at the black blood in his cold lips and his eyes closed shut, as well at those hands that were stretched in her direction, she suddenly felt her heart tie itself painfully into a knot inside in her chest and all kinds of violent emotions surged within.
“I absolutely must have killed your whole family in my previous life.” She gave him a vicious kick and then proceeded to feed him a white pill, lifting his chin to let it slide down his throat.
Immediately after, she took her surgical tools kit that was placed on the bedside and got two silver needles from inside, proceeding to pierce his arm and squeeze out a big bowl of darkened blood.
It was only when she had finished this whole set of actions that she let out a sigh of relief, and then put the man back on the bed.
Because it was dark, she didn’t notice that the lips of the person who was lying on the bed were curved up slightly.
