Without Me - Chapter 42 Chapter 41
Yao Xi returned to her senses when the car stopped. Confused, she looked out the window and noticed that they had already reached Li Ye Han’s estate.
In front of a huge, forged metal gate, two men blocked the road. One of them approached the car from the driver’s side, and the other watched them closely, from the narrowed eyelids. The glass was tinted, so Yao Xi knew that the man was trying to decipher their identity.
The first bodyguard had already reached the car and knocked on the window. When Cheng Yazhe pressed the button on the door, the glass automatically slid down.
The guard looked inside, but his expression did not change at all when he saw Yao Xi. As if she was invisible, he immediately said in a monotonous voice: “I’m sorry, but this is a private area. You can not go any further. Please turn back. ”
Cheng Yazhe, seeing the posture of the bodyguard, tensed and gave him an angry look. No wonder Yao Xi did not want to come back here. She seemed to be treated worse than service there. Even a security guard can make it difficult for her to enter the property, forcing her to cross the rest of the way on foot.
How far was it from the gate to the house? Judging by the fence they passed, it must have been about five kilometers. In Cheng Yazhe’s villa, the distance was about two and a half kilometers, not to mention someone as extravagant as Li Ye Han.
Cheng Yazhe: “Have you seen that I am carrying your master’s wife, but you still do not want to let us pass? Is there even a guard like this in your home, how can you treat your mistress like that? ”
From Cheng Yazhe’s eyes, all the heat that arose in the presence of Yao Xi disappeared. He was always a cold and insensitive man, and only Yao Xi had some magical skill that triggered his gentle side.
The guard, however, was adamant. He stood straight as a string, without the slightest sign of hesitation.
“This is not something an outsider can interfere with. I follow the rules of this house. You can not cross the gate, and Miss Yao can either go alone or turn back with you. ”
Cheng Yazhe’ anger reached a climax. He was furious with the attitude and arrogance of the bodyguard, but he was even more angry with Li Ye Han himself. If it were not for his consent, no one in this house would dare to treat Yao Xi in this way. What man allows his wife to be abused by the service ?!
Cheng Yazhe unlocked the seat belt and was about to get out of the car, wanting to deal with these arrogant guards. But before he grabbed the handle, he felt a gentle touch on his shoulder. Cheng Yazhe turned and saw Yao Xi shaking her head with a faint smile.
Yao Xi: “Thank you so much for bringing me over. I can handle the rest myself. ”
Cheng Yazhe did not know what to say. Why did this woman let herself be treated like that? She did not look like someone who could easily be intimidated, so why did she endure it in silence?
Yao Xi saw many emotions on Cheng Yazhe’s face: anger, frustration, guilt and compassion, but she did not comment on it in any way. She did not like it when someone looked at her compassionately, but now it did not bother her. In the eyes of Cheng Yazhe she saw honesty and knew that he cared for her. And that made her not know how to behave. She was not used to it.
She reached for the button and unlocked her belt. Seeing this, Cheng Yazhe quickly opened the door and left the car. He went around the car, giving the bodyguards a murderous look. Then he culturally opened the door for Yao Xi and helped her get out of the car.
Yao Xi hesitated for a moment before accepting the man’s hand. She took a small bag in which she packed her belongings from the hospital and turned to Cheng Yazhe, who followed her all the way to the great gate.
Yao Xi: “Thank you again for your help and sorry for the trouble, Mr. Cheng.”
Cheng Yazhe: “There is nothing to talk about. Are you sure you can handle it? You’ve just gone through a major surgery, “he looked at two bodyguards with a contemptuous look,” I wonder what people will say when they find out how Li Ye Han treats his legitimate wife who has just returned from the hospital ” then he focused again on Yao Xi, and in a fraction of a second his deadly look was replaced by a look of concern. “If you want, I have several apartments in the city center. You can live there. You do not have to go back to this place, where even the servants do not know how to treat their mistress. ”
The guards exchanged worried glances. They wondered for a moment whether they could actually have any problems. However, when they remembered how their master had treated his wife all these years, all their fears disappeared immediately. They did not have to be scared. They were convinced that their master did not care for the woman.
Yao Xi: “Thank you, but I can handle it.”
Yao Xi came to the gate and looked impatiently at the security guard to open the gate for her. The man slowly and with undisguised reluctance turned the key in the lock and pushed the huge iron gates until they stood open. When Yao Xi entered the property, the guard closed the gate again with a loud bang.
Yao Xi turned back and gave Cheng Yazhe a grateful look at her emerald eyes: “Thank you” Then she turned around again and moved forward without looking back,
Cheng Yazhe stood in the same spot and watched Yao Xi’s retreating back, until she disappeared from sight, and the sight of her lonely figure would be etched in his mind forever. When he could no longer see her, Cheng Yazhe returned to the car and without even looking at the guards announced in an icy tone: “Tell Li Ye Han that he will regret how he treats her.” Then he got in the car, slammed the door and drove off with a screech of tires, and the clouds of dust that he left behind caused a coughing attack from the guards.
