Chapter 501: Chapter 490: How could such a sturdy young man have that kind of chronic illness!
A crisp slap echoed through the night sky.
Ye Qiqing’s face was cold. After retracting her palm, as if disgusted, she picked up a napkin from the table and began wiping her hands.
Su Zhiqiang was her "sister-in-law’s" elder brother, so it was inappropriate for her to hit him.
Nan Zhen, at most, was just one of her little brothers, a tag-along.
Would she hesitate to hit him?
"..."
The whole venue fell silent.
Nan Zhen’s head was turned to the right side, completely confused.
What was going on? Why did Ye Qiqing hit him, the hero of the day?
Nan Zhen looked unconvinced and questioned, "Big Sister, are you... are you mistaken? Why are you hitting me?"
"Hit you? I’m not just going to hit you, I’m going to disable you!"
"Tattooed Arm, get him, cripple his limbs!"
Ye Qiqing commanded angrily.
The man addressed as Tattooed Arm was the leader of the muscle men, a thick-armed man with a large Cyan Dragon tattooed on his left arm. He was the captain of this private bodyguard team for the rich kids.
Following Ye Qiqing’s order, he immediately turned his head to look at Nan Zhen, his eyes showing a fierce glint.
Nan Zhen’s body trembled with fear, unable to comprehend the situation.
When his gaze met that of Tattooed Arm, Nan Zhen’s lips quivered violently, fear flickering in his eyes, and he stammered, "You guys... don’t... don’t..."
"Brother Zhen, you have to understand, we can’t go against Big Sister’s orders."
With a look of difficulty, Tattooed Arm said in a low voice that only the two could hear, then swung a fist.
Nan Zhen was knocked down directly, clutching his abdomen and crying out in pain.
"Go, cripple him!" Tattooed Arm ordered in a deep voice, then led the charge to beat up Nan Zhen.
Already sapped by indulgence, Nan Zhen couldn’t withstand such a beating. He immediately let out a bone-chilling, miserable scream.
Ye Qiqing watched coldly, then sat down opposite Ye Huan and said, "Brother..."
She shaped her lips for a word, but before making a sound, she changed it under Ye Huan’s silent cue, apologetically saying, "Brother Ye, I’m sorry I’m a bit late. I didn’t expect Nan Zhen, that damned thing, would dare to take revenge on you."
"It’s alright."
Ye Huan casually replied, then took a portion of the barbecue from his plate, placed it on a clean plate, and pushed it in front of Ye Qiqing.
Ye Qiqing glanced at it, and seeing it was mostly kidneys, oysters, and bull penis, she lost her appetite immediately, quickly waving her hands, awkwardly saying, "No need."
"Try it, the chef’s skills are quite good," he said.
"It’s a pity there’s only this much, can’t fully enjoy it. The chef got beaten into the hospital by someone’s underlings."
While speaking, Ye Huan took another skewer of lamb kidneys into his mouth.
Ye Qiqing’s eyes turned cold upon hearing this.
What a joke, who did Nan Zhen think he was?
Daring to make her brother and secret crush, Ye Huan, go hungry and unsatisfied!?
Courting death!
"Such weak strength, haven’t you eaten!?" Ye Qiqing sternly shouted at the muscle men, her voice filled with coldness.
The muscle men all shivered.
Nan Zhen had been generous to them, so they held back a bit.
But they knew their true master was Ye Qiqing, the "Duke Princess of Huaxia"!
With her command, what room did they have for personal thoughts?
The muscle men all spat and, with a cruel glint in their eyes, unleashed all their strength to beat up Nan Zhen.
"Ouch, stop hitting, it hurts like hell..."
"Big Sister, why... why do you want to cripple me? I’m the hero, ouch..."
"Aow!!!"
Screams of utter misery echoed through the air like wailing ghosts and wolves.
Nan Zhen cursed inwardly from the pain!
These muscle men were renowned in the boxing and martial arts world—how could he withstand their blows?
Moreover, he brought these muscle men to beat up Ye Huan!
He wanted Ye Qiqing to witness Ye Huan screaming for mercy!
But now, it was not Ye Huan getting beaten, it was him, Nan Zhen!
And the one Ye Qiqing witnessed screaming for mercy was now him, Nan Zhen!
Nan Zhen couldn’t understand the situation but was being beaten and howled endlessly.
His miserable cries left Ye Qiqing, already uninterested in lamb kidneys, even less appetized.
But since Ye Huan claimed it tasted good and was eating so heartily, Ye Qiqing decided just to try it, picking up a skewer and putting it into her mouth.
"How is it? The chef’s skills are quite good, right?" Ye Huan smiled.
"Mm..."
Ye Qiqing, chewing with puffed cheeks, nodded approvingly.
The lamb kidney was deliciously flavorful and chewy without any odd taste, indeed quite good.
After finishing the lamb kidney, she picked up another skewer from the plate.
But then, she seemed to realize something, raising her eyebrows in a frown.
The barbecue on the table...
Lamb kidneys...
Bull penis...
Oysters...
Geoduck clam...
Leek...
Why were all these barbecue items for body replenishment??
Thinking back to how Ye Huan chased after Lilith out of the house last night...
Could it be...
∑(っ °Д °;)っ
They said Western women are wilder; Ye Qiqing didn’t believe it before, but now she did!
Despite Ye Huan’s well-proportioned figure and explosive muscle power, which should mean he has quite the capability, did he actually lose to Lilith?
Incredible!
Surely, after being exhausted by Lilith, Ye Huan came here to eat barbecue for body replenishment.
That’s right, it must be like this!
No...
No way!
Ye Qiqing’s face was solemn as she propped her chin up with her hands, lost in thought.
If it’s about supplementing health, a little would be enough, right?
Why order all these strong supplements?
This clearly shows an extremely urgent desire to supplement!
It’s strange, why so urgent...
"Hey, stop it! Stop hitting me, or I’ll be done for!"
Nan Zhen’s miserable scream suddenly interrupted Ye Qiqing’s thoughts!
Ye Qiqing was furious and said, "Stuff his mouth for me, he’s so annoying!"
A muscular man stopped beating Nan Zhen, took off his stinky socks, and stuffed them into Nan Zhen’s mouth, nearly bulging his eyes out of their sockets.
Damn, it’s too smelly!
"Mmm... mmm mmm..."
Nan Zhen’s cries became much quieter, and Ye Qiqing fell back into thought.
Indeed, if it’s for health, a little would be enough.
Ordering all these strong barbeques is too strange!
Could it be that...
Could it be that Ye Huan was embarrassed in front of Lilith yesterday, and then searched the internet for health supplement tips, found that lamb kidneys and other barbeques are good for weakness, and that’s why he’s here at this food stall for barbeque?
It’s very possible!
Ye Qiqing swallowed and tentatively asked, "Brother Ye, how long were you with Lilith last night?"
Ye Huan was taken aback and answered, "A few minutes, I guess."
∑(っ °Д °;)っ
A few minutes???
Ye Qiqing covered her mouth with her small hand, somewhat in disbelief.
Ye Huan looks so robust, how could he have such an "ailment"?
Ye Qiqing couldn’t believe it and asked again, "Brother Ye, what made you decide to come for barbeque?"
"Why are you asking that?" Ye Huan looked puzzled.
"Just say it." Ye Qiqing propped her chin up with her hands and blinked.
Ye Huan frowned slightly. He thought that the riverside scenery was pleasant and could improve his mood, so he looked up what eateries were by the riverside online, found Sugar Vinegar Food Stall, and came over.
"Found it online and came," Ye Huan said.
But these words meant something completely different to Ye Qiqing’s ears!
"Bang!"
Ye Qiqing’s hands went soft, her head dropping onto the table, her face covered with the barbeque spices from the lamb kidneys.
"What’s wrong with you?" Ye Huan frowned and asked, finding Ye Qiqing a bit odd.
"Cough. Cough."
After being stimulated by the barbeque spices, Ye Qiqing coughed a couple of times before hurriedly saying, "I’m fine, just a slip of the hand."
As she spoke, she wiped her face with a tissue.
A storm raged in her heart.
Just as she guessed, Ye Huan was embarrassed in front of Lilith yesterday, searched online for lamb kidneys and the like to supplement, and came for barbeque!
How could a sturdy young man like him have such an "ailment"!
Moreover, he just left with Lilith last night, and today he’s urgently coming to eat supplementing barbeque, it must be because Lilith expressed disdain for him, making him ashamed and furious, so he came for barbeque to bolster himself!
Ye Qiqing was frustrated.
How could Lilith act like this?
As a woman, not comforting her man and even showing disdain? It’s simply too vile!
Lilith is trampling on Ye Huan’s dignity!
Ye Qiqing was extremely dissatisfied with Lilith.
At the same time, she felt very sorry for Ye Huan.
Sigh.
Being disdained by his own woman, face lost.
Ye Huan must be calm on the outside but hurting inside.
Ye Qiqing picked up a skewer and, after picking up the barbeque that had an intimate encounter with her face, placed it piece by piece into Ye Huan’s plate. Then, with her hands propped under her chin, she gazed at Ye Huan, her beautiful eyes filled with sympathetic tears, "Brother Ye, eat more."
Ye Huan: "..."
He had a speechless look on his face.
"Boss lady, it’s done."
"This kid’s arms and legs are all broken."
Beside him, the tattooed man wiped the sweat off his forehead and said breathlessly.
Ye Qiqing frowned and coldly asked, "Is there any chance for recovery?"
The tattooed man’s body stiffened.
He did hold back with his men, so as long as Nan Zhen receives treatment, there’s a high chance he’ll recover.
Seeing Ye Qiqing’s increasingly cold gaze, the tattooed man shuddered.
He made a fierce expression, lifted his toe.
"Crack!!!!"
Four bone-cracking sounds echoed.
Nan Zhen felt sharp pain shooting through his limbs, and after a final anguished scream, his eyes blacked out and he passed out.
The tattooed man awkwardly said, "Boss lady, now Nan Zhen’s limbs and joints are shattered, no chance of recovery."
Ye Qiqing withdrew her cold gaze and turned to look at Ye Huan, asking, "Brother Ye, what do you think we should do with the remaining person who schemed maliciously against you?"
The person in question was, of course, Su Zhiqiang.
"Thud."
Su Zhiqiang’s legs went soft, and he knelt to the ground.
He was already terrified by Nan Zhen’s miserable state.
Ye Qiqing’s words filled him with boundless fear!
He crawled to Ye Huan, clinging to his leg and cried, "Ye Huan, please... please spare me once, I... I really know I’m wrong!"
