Stubborn Love of a Roguish Scion

The white princess bed, which was a few meters wide, was surrounded by a number of people.

“What happened to her?”

“Sir, this lady was submerged in freezing water for some time. She was lucky to escape unscathed in such cold weather.”

Frowning unhappily, Bo Jinyan reached out to touch her forehead with the back of his palm. “When is she going to wake up?”

“This lady has caught a bad cold, so her fever will persist for a few days. She has a good constitution, though, so she’ll be fine when the fever subsides. She won’t catch a cold easily after this.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. Don’t worry, sir!”

“You can all leave now.”

“Understood.”

The servants briskly took the basin and left the room quietly, leaving him behind with Ye Erruo.

“He he…” A low, throaty chuckle escaped his mouth. While he was looking at the woman lying on the bed with his arms hugging his chest, he leaned against the door frame with a half-smile on his face.

“Lingfeng, you can get a move on. We’ll go fishing another day.”

“Eh? Is Young Master Bo kicking me out?”

Bo Jinyan pulled the quilt over Ye Erruo as he replied with curled lips, “I’ll make an appointment with you on another day.”

“Who is she?” his friend asked, squinting at the woman on the bed from his peripheral vision.

He had thought he had caught a mermaid, only to find out that she was someone even more astounding.

“I’ll introduce her to you next time.” Upon saying that, Bo Jinyan shoved his friend forcefully out of the door.

“Let go!” Yu Lingfeng deftly avoided his touch. “Tell me honestly. Who is this person? Mr. Bo, don’t tell me you’re seeing another woman behind my sister’s back? Was it love at first sight, or have you known her a while?”

The man before him was not someone who would initiate a move on the opposite sex, let alone hug a woman!

Bo Jinyan gave him a serious look before replying, “I’ve seen this woman a couple of times. It was just startling to find her floating down to my estate.”

“I don’t believe you!”

“Well, you can forget what I said then.”

He leaned forward and whispered something into his friend’s ear. By the time he finished what he had to say, Yu Lingfeng was too stunned to move. He stood rooted to the spot as the other man retreated to the side, taking in the look of bewilderment and sweet surprise on his friend’s face.

Yu Linfeng lunged forward suddenly but could, unfortunately, not get past Bo Jinyan. “You can visit her when she’s awake,” Bo Jinyan told him while his body was blocking his.

“Get lost!”

“She needs to rest now.”

“I won’t talk if I go inside.”

“Don’t you want her to get well as soon as possible?” Bo Jinyan asked his friend a final question before he thrust him out of the door.

Bang! The door snapped shut on Yu Lingfeng’s face.

“…”

D*mn! That man threw me out while he stayed put! 

On the spacious bed, Ye Erruo was still burning with fever. Her face was ruddy, and an intravenous line was running down her hand.

Upon dipping his eyes at the woman sound asleep on the bed, the man let out a faint chortle. “It looks like you came running to me before I started looking for you.”

The heater was running in the room. The man used the back of his palm to check her temperature again, only to see that she still had a high temperature.

He quickly ordered the servants to bring in more quilts.

…

The Zhuang Ge Residence was chaotic. Everyone, including the servants, butlers, and chauffeurs, had a look of terror on their faces. Bo Yu, who had been supposed to set off for the Blue Tower after Mo Jiangye, had cancelled all his appointments and sent out search teams to look for Ye Erruo. No effort had been spared as he’d checked through all the surveillance records in the city.

He had rushed down to the bar the minute he had received that SOS message. Still, he had been too late!

Lin Jingxuan was in a coma at the hospital now. The personal assistant had his men guard the hospital bed round the clock and he would interrogate the young master to discover Ye Erruo’s whereabouts the moment he woke up.

“Sir, Young Madam’s phone is ringing again. It’s another call from Young Master.”

“Didn’t I instruct you to send a message from Young Madam’s phone to him earlier?”
