Chapter 389: Just Treat It As An Exchange Then
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Forget it, let’s go.” Su Qianxun lowered her head as she bit her lower lip.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Gu looked at her with a puzzled expression.
“Nothing… let’s just go home.” Su Qianxun looked at him and forced a smile. She only had a few coins on her at the moment. She had no money to buy any food.
She seemed a little heavy-hearted as she looked outside. Her mind was overwhelmed with the thought of her wounded younger brother. She really wanted to buy him his favourite food. Su Qianxun felt extremely upset at the moment.
Ye Gu stared at the look on her face and frowned hard. Suddenly, he just pushed the car door open and went out of the car. He quickly walked to the fried chicken stall at the side. Su Qianxun wanted to call him back. But in the end, she did not say anything.
Ye Gu did not know what to purchase. So, he bought a little bit of everything. He gave them to Su Qianxun after he carried them back to the car.
“Thank you. How much are all these? I will return you the money next time.”
“It is nothing much, there’s no need for you to pay me back.” Ye Gu looked at the expression on her face. Even though she had been treated horribly, she had to swallow all the pain and take care of her family members.
It was truly painful to see her like that.
“I must pay you back… I… I will return you the money a few days later.” Su Qianxun was a little embarrassed she said this. As the saying went, “when a man is poor, his ambition is not far-reaching”. When a person was too poor, he would not even be capable of holding his dignity together.
“Can I ask you for something in return, then? We can just treat it as an exchange.” Ye Gu looked at her.
“Huh?” Su Qianxun looked at him in a daze. She had no idea what was on his mind.
“This… as an exchange.” Ye Gu unhooked a tiny bear plush toy from Su Qianxun’s bag.p
“But I have been carrying that for many years, it is worthless.”
The tiny bear was extremely worn. She did not cast it away because she was sort of a hoarder.
“It is alright.”
Ye Gu drove Su Qianxun back home.
…
It was already night when Long Sijue woke up. He only fainted because he was dosed with a strong aphrodisiac yesterday and had spent all day going crazy.
After he woke up, the first thing he did was ask where Su Qianxun was. Si Mancheng informed him that Ye Gu had sent her home. Long Sijue immediately got out of bed and changed into a new set of clothes. He then left the rest area.
Si Mancheng and Zi Fan immediately followed him. Long Sijue said coldly, “Don’t come with me!”
The two of them could only stop in their tracks. Long Sijue left the place alone.
Su Qianxun did not want to pick up Long Sijue’s call at first. But she was worried that he would do something to get himself into trouble again if she did not pick up the call.
“Get down here at once and come home with me!” Long Sijue’s voice was cold.
“Give me 10 minutes.” Su Qianxin said and immediately hung up. She turned around and looked at her younger brother who was already asleep on the bed. She walked to the side of the bed and gently touched his face as she said softly, “Jiye, rest well tonight. I will be back to bring you to the hospital tomorrow. You need to be a good boy, understood?”
Su Qianxun stood up again and was about to leave the room when someone suddenly grabbed her hand. She was a little shocked as she turned around. She saw that her younger brother still had his eyes shut, but tears were streaming down his cheeks.
At this instant, Su Qianxun felt as if a knife had cut through her heart. She sat back down on the side of the bed and held onto Su Jiye’s hand very tightly. “Jiye, I am sorry, I truly am. I cannot accompany you tonight, but I will definitely keep you company tomorrow. I will be by your side all day, all right?”
No matter how tightly Su Jiye held onto her hand, Su Qianxun could not stay after all. Even though she did not know what was on Long Sijue’s mind, she understood him very well. If she did not listen to him, she was afraid that he would come up to the apartment himself to take her away.
