Chapter 701 - 679:
"Zhi Xiao, haven’t you just changed the dressings? Why are you here again?" Ye Chen had his back to the door, but he could tell who had pushed it open just from the sound of the door. If it had been Liu the Tyrant, he estimated the sound would’ve been much louder.
"Brother Chen..." Feng Zhixiao muttered and then said, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law is here..."
"What?!" Ye Chen was taken aback and immediately turned around; by then, Li Ruo was already standing behind him. Their eyes met, and Li Ruo’s tears instantly softened Ye Chen’s heart. This strong man, this man as solid as iron, had never submitted to Jones’s provocations; standing in the ring, under the gaze of tens of thousands of spectators, he had never retreated. But today, he softened; he was softened by Li Ruo’s tears. Ye Chen looked at Li Ruo awkwardly and said, "Xiao Ruo, why... why have you come?"
"Hmph, you jerk, you... how long were you planning to deceive me!" Li Ruo hugged Ye Chen, burying his head tightly into her embrace, and she burst into loud sobs. Feng Zhixiao sighed and then stepped out, gently closing the door behind him.
"Xiao Ruo, I... I’m sorry!" Ye Chen hurriedly consoled her.
"Sorry, sorry, is that all you can say!" Li Ruo was furious, but suddenly, her gaze fell on Ye Chen’s leg, her tone softened, and she asked, "How is your leg?"
"Don’t worry about it, I’m really fine!" Ye Chen chuckled.
"Liar, you’re still lying to me!" Li Ruo was enraged and said, "You’ve been recovering for half a month and still dare to say you’re fine!"
"I really am fine!" Ye Chen, in his need to prove his innocence, deliberately stood up, took a few steps, and then tentatively tried to hop. Seeing this, Li Ruo quickly pulled Ye Chen back down into a chair and said through clenched teeth, "Don’t get up if you’re not fully recovered, just sit properly!"
Pressed down into the chair by Li Ruo, Ye Chen simply embraced Li Ruo within his arms. Li Ruo was held against his legs as he gently held her, and at this moment, an unexplainable happiness overflowed. Ye Chen whispered into Li Ruo’s ear, blowing a warm breath, "Xiao Ruo, I missed you!"
"Mhm, me too!" Li Ruo nodded and said, "So, I rushed over to see you!"
"Thank you, Xiao Ruo!" Ye Chen, with his eyes closed, deeply inhaled her scent. This woman had him utterly captivated—he loved her, as if it were a timeless truth, like something he was born with.
