Chapter 124: 124: Ye Fei's Fury

After a while, Xu Shuyun and Ye Jing had both fallen asleep in Ye Fei's arms, their tear-streaked faces giving them a vulnerable beauty. One mature, the other youthful, both appeared delicate and weary. Seeing this, Ye Fei felt a surge of pity for the two. Knowing they hadn’t rested well in a long time, he couldn't bear to wake them.

Gently, he moved Xu Shuyun to lean against the back of the sofa and then carefully carried Ye Jing into Xu Shuyun's bedroom. Since Ye Lingtian no longer slept there, they could rest together.

Returning to the living room, Ye Fei bent down to pick up Xu Shuyun. As he felt her soft body in his arms, his heart skipped a beat, but the thought of her suffering quickly helped him suppress any inappropriate feelings. He carried her quickly to the bedroom, not realizing that, as he lifted her, Xu Shuyun's eyes briefly fluttered open before she closed them again, her heartbeat quickening.
