She couldn’t stand how they were constantly harassing her.
Ye Hao laughed softly and did not feel discouraged by her aloof attitude. He was already used to being rejected by her, so he was now immune to her rejections.
He believed that as long as they spend enough time with each other, it was only a matter of time before she returned to his side.
He refused to believe that he could move out of the castle but not move back into it.
Ye Hao placed the bowl of soup on the desk next to the bed.
He suddenly gave Yang Shanshan who was about to walk into the room a look and Yang Shanshan moved away after getting the hint.
Ye Hao and He Xiyan were left alone in the room. He Xiyan closed her eyes because she refused to speak to Ye Hao. It didn’t matter whether she was able to fall asleep or not.
Ye Hao went to the restroom, filled a basin with warm water, and brought it over.
When he emerged from the restroom, he saw that Yan Yan seemed to have fallen asleep. She laid on the bed with her eyes closed and did not move at all.
However, he guessed that she was pretending to sleep.
Ye Hao placed the towel in the basin and wrung it dry. Then, he walked up to her bedside and gently placed the towel on her face. He saw her frown after he placed the towel on her face.
He Xiyan couldn’t keep up the pretense. Her eyes suddenly fluttered open and she glared angrily at Ye Hao as though she wanted to drill two holes through his body.
“What do you think you’re doing?” she said angrily. She didn’t want him to stay behind to look after her.
Ye Hao pursed his lips into a smile. Then, he looked at her and said, “You’ve got an eye booger at the corner of your eye.”
He Xiyan was speechless.
She felt as though she was talking to a wall and she was so annoyed with him that her chest hurt.
Ye Hao smiled and said, “Shall I bring a mirror over so you can have a look?”
He Xiyan said, “Get lost!”
Her hand shot out to grab the towel from Ye Hao’s hand. She couldn’t get out of bed at the moment but she could still move her hands, so she didn’t need him to help her wash her face.
She placed the towel on her face and roughly brushed the towel over her face before she handed it back to Ye Hao.
She was thoroughly exasperated with Ye Hao.
She threw the towel with such force that Ye Hao only managed to catch the towel just before it hit the floor.
He still felt very happy even though she had scolded him.
“Yan Yan, I told Yang Shanshan to head back first. She said she wasn’t feeling well, so she asked me to stay by your side,” Ye Hao said calmly. He told her a blatant lie without even batting an eyelid.
He Xiyan glared at him and she truly felt like throwing something at this man who was acting like a lunatic.
She had hired Yang Shanshan, so why did he think he had the right to order her around?
Who did he think he was?
“I don’t need you to look after me. Ye Hao, did you apply powder on your face?” He Xiyan retorted. She couldn’t believe how shameless this man was. He seemed to have no sense of shame at all.
Ye Hao froze in surprise before he clapped his hand over his cheek and touched it.
“No, I didn’t!” he said. He didn’t see the need to put powder on his face because he knew that he was blessed with great complexion. His skin was smooth and glowing and it was in a much better condition as compared to the young men who were more than a decade younger.
He Xiyan retorted, “That’s because you are absolutely shameless!”
Ye Hao was speechless.
He looked up at her and felt his cheeks start to sting as though she had just delivered a hard slap to his face but soon, this sensation disappeared and the corners of his lips curved into a smile.
He was still in good spirits even though she had scolded him.
“Yan Yan, you should have something to eat. The doctor already said that you should take some soup or congee after you regained consciousness. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have the strength or energy to do anything,” he said as he picked up the bowl of soup.
The soup had gone cold, so he brought it to the microwave and heated it up.
He Xiyan was left speechless but she picked up the bowl of soup and took a few sips. She didn’t know how to get through to Ye Hao.
