Supreme Divine Physician in the City

Chapter 1690: I Envy Her

Ye Xuan was stunned. Put that way, he did kind of sound like... not human, huh?Ptui!

Ye Xuan snapped out of it and argued back on moral high ground: "What do you know? I was forced into it!"

"Forced into it?" Ye Xiaoying gave two cold chuckles. "I think you should stop calling yourself Ye Xuan from now on. Just go with Beast."

Ye Xuan was furious. "Ye Xiaoying, I’m warning you, don’t push me too far. You don’t even know what really happened between me and the Chiba Family, so stop talking nonsense!"

"Oh, I’m not allowed to talk now?" Ye Xiaoying snorted. "Upset? If you’re upset then come at me, let’s see if it’s you, heavily injured, who’s tougher, or me as I am now."

"You..."

Ye Xuan almost choked on his own breath. How could there be such a shameless woman in this world?

No wonder she clawed her way up out there. Ye Xiaoying, you win this round!

"A real man doesn’t fight with a vicious woman. I’m too lazy to stoop to your level." Ye Xuan muttered angrily, and simply ended this war of words.

What could he do? No matter how much Ye Xiaoying deserved a good lesson right now, he was powerless. His little life had been saved by this shrew, after all.

Besides, he still needed her to keep protecting him on this trip!

"Never mind, never mind. No matter what, she’s still a woman I’ve slept with, I can’t be too petty with her. She can spit all she wants, she’s the one losing out anyway!" Ye Xuan could only comfort himself like this in his heart.

Then he simply stopped thinking about all that messy stuff and started plotting what he should do once he went back home and saw his wife.

Right now his relationship with Lin Tong was solid as an iron egg—what was there to be afraid of?

If you said Chiba Sakurako’s current life goal was to repay Ye Xuan’s towering kindness by serving him in every possible way,

then Ye Xuan’s current life goal was... hehehe!

Sitting to the side, Ye Xiaoying noticed Ye Xuan suddenly go quiet, and her feelings instantly turned into a tangled mess.

She glanced toward the bathroom now and then, a faintly bitter curve appearing at the corner of her mouth.

"Damn it, I actually envy her..."

Before long, Chiba Sakurako finished changing and came back to stand in front of Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up at once.

Ye Xuan’s fashion sense had always been so-so, so the outfit he’d bought for Chiba Sakurako was extremely ordinary and unremarkable. But now that it was on her, it was like the entire aura of the clothes had changed.

Because she was just too beautiful!

That innate fairy-like air of hers, that noble and elegant temperament, seemed to carry some kind of magic power—magic that could instantly make anything related to her become beautiful.

This originally plain outfit was the most direct proof of that!

A perfectly proportioned oval face, bright, lively eyes that shone like the stars, a straight, delicate nose, a dainty cherry mouth, baby-like dewy, fair skin, and those lush, mature curves.

No matter where you looked, Chiba Sakurako was close to perfect.

And this peerless Northern Federation beauty was now actually his maid. Just thinking about it made Ye Xuan feel like he’d picked up a treasure.

Add in her gentle, magnanimous personality and well-read, well-bred inner qualities, and she was just... a dream-come-true kind of treasure!

Ye Xuan was dazzled for a moment, then came back to himself, rubbing his nose as he said, "Mm, pretty good. Sit down and rest a bit, we’re about to board."

"Yes!"

Chiba Sakurako gave Ye Xuan a slight bow, then sat down beside him. Her posture was proper and dignified—this was what it meant to come from an illustrious family.

Ye Xuan, however, felt really uncomfortable with it and said helplessly, "Sakurako, look, even though you’re my maid now, you don’t need to be this stiff. I don’t like this feeling, you know?"

Chiba Sakurako was taken aback. Her beautiful eyes flickered. "Then what should I do?"

"You don’t have to do anything special, just be more casual." Ye Xuan grinned. "Like how you address me—you don’t need to keep calling me ’sir, sir.’ Just call me Brother Ye, it sounds more intimate!"

"Okay, Brother Ye." Chiba Sakurako nodded obediently.

Ye Xuan rolled his eyes. Right, that was like saying nothing at all.

A perfectly intimate form of address had somehow been called in such a formal way by Chiba Sakurako.

Forget it. This girl had been raised on rules since she was small; asking her to act laidback and casual around people was basically impossible. Or rather, this state she was in now was actually her most natural state.

Sitting on Ye Xuan’s other side, Ye Xiaoying curled her lip, throwing Ye Xuan a couple of contemptuous side glances from time to time, like she was cursing him.

Scumbag. Scumbag scumbag!

...

The three of them boarded the plane heading to Yan Country.

With a heavy, thunderous roar, the plane lifted straight into the sky and finally set off.

In first class.

Chiba Sakurako gazed out at the scenery streaming past the window, looking in the direction of her favorite Flower Sea. Her beautiful eyes inevitably held some complex melancholy.

They were parting here. Who knew if she’d ever come back someday.

Would she ever again see that Flower Sea that had been dyed red with blood...

"What’s past is past. As long as you hold the Flower Sea in your heart, there are Flower Seas everywhere." Ye Xuan suddenly chuckled. "The Flower Seas in our Yan Country are even grander and prettier!"

"Mm..."

Chiba Sakurako nodded slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and didn’t say anything more.

The Flower Sea might be beautiful, but it was never her true home.

The Flower Sea in Yan Country might not carry the same feelings as the one in East City, but over there was her direction, her new mission.

For the rest of her life, wherever Ye Xuan was, she would be there.

Unless Ye Xuan ended up like her father as well...

"No, he won’t."

Chiba Sakurako forcefully rejected that thought in her heart. She didn’t dare imagine what she would become if Ye Xuan followed in her father’s footsteps.

She would become a real walking corpse, wouldn’t she?

Right now, she was living for the sake of repaying his kindness. If her benefactor was gone, what faith would she have left to keep living?

Chiba Sakurako jolted, as if she had just woken from a nightmare, not daring to dwell on those baseless fantasies any longer.

Her beautiful eyes shifted, and thinking of the role she played by Ye Xuan’s side, she hastily asked, "Brother Ye, are you thirsty?"

Hearing that, Ye Xuan paused, then shook his head. "Not thirsty, just a bit hungry."

"Okay."

Chiba Sakurako gave a gentle smile and reached out to press the service button.

At this moment, being able to do something for Ye Xuan suddenly made her feel like the emptiness in her heart had been filled, just a little.

And seeing her like this, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but smile wryly to himself.

In truth, he wasn’t hungry.

He just knew that Chiba Sakurako needed him to be hungry.

Soon, a pretty international flight attendant walked into first class, smiling politely. "Beautiful lady, what can I get for you?"

Chiba Sakurako looked at Ye Xuan. "Brother Ye, what would you like to eat?"

Ye Xuan: "Anything, I’m not picky."

"All right." Chiba Sakurako thought for a moment, then said to the flight attendant, "One sandwich and a glass of milk, please. Thank you."

"Certainly. Please wait a moment."

The flight attendant nodded and turned to leave.
