Chapter 2306: One-Night Stand沈 (90)

Chu He, "..."

Chu He’s father looked at him, seeing his hesitation, he gave him the final assurance, "When the time comes, our Chu Family will help her keep Ye Ming and Xiaojiu alive, she will naturally be grateful and marry you."

Chu He looked at his father. He understands Ye Bai’s character; if the Chu Family really did that, she definitely wouldn’t marry him.

Even now, he feels like the feelings they once shared have come to an end.

This whole upheaval started with Xiaojiu.

If it weren’t for Xiaojiu, Shen You wouldn’t have come between him and Ye Bai.

And this day wouldn’t have come!

Regarding love, Ye Bai knows nothing. For the sake of carrying on the family name, he and Ye Bai will naturally come together and have children.

No matter if there’s love or not, Ye Bai belongs to him!

However—

He’s already placed his final bet on Xiaojiu.

No matter what, he wants to have Ye Bai.

He’s liked her for over ten years; he can’t just watch someone take her away from his side.

Seeing him unmoved, Chu He’s father realized saying anything is useless.

Chu He, "The Chu Family must absolutely not team up with Ye Fan. If they really did that, Ye Fan wouldn’t spare the Chu Family either."

Chu He’s father stared at him, suddenly alert.

Indeed!

It’s been like this throughout history.

He was too hasty. Now, the Chu Family can only watch from afar.

When the time comes, no matter which side needs help, the Chu Family will maintain its position within the Ye Family.

...

The ship for the water burial sailed halfway when suddenly several ships surrounded it.

Ye Bai looked at them closing in, knowing well Ye Fan wouldn’t miss this chance.

She called Huo Jinnan, "You’re here, right?"

Huo Jinnan, "I can see you now. Don’t worry, if they come any closer, I’ll use torpedoes to blow them away."

Ye Bai, "Just leave one ship intact."

Flying a warplane, Huo Jinnan, who was hidden in the dark, moved directly to the sea surface upon hearing Ye Bai’s words.

Suddenly, the sound of propellers approached, becoming louder, leaving the people on the sea astonished.

Soon, Ye Fan’s men saw the markings on the warplane, the Jade-faced Fox—a name that strikes fear into anyone who hears it.

The leader said there would be help from that side; did they manage to establish contact?

Was this a plan to directly bomb Ye Bai’s ship?

They hesitated to approach, waiting for the warplane to attack.

But in the next second, weapons were fired toward them, and before they could respond, a loud bang erupted, causing a massive wave on the sea.

The original ships, along with everyone on them, were plunged into the water, completely submerged, leaving not even a ripple.

Ye Bai watched, holding Xiaojiu tightly.

Xiaojiu held onto Ye Bai tightly, "Scared, not scared."

He reached out a small hand to cover Ye Bai’s eyes.

Ye Bai’s heart trembled, suddenly feeling pained.

After a while, the sound of bombs ceased.

Xiaojiu moved his hand away, and Ye Bai saw there was only one ship left trying to escape.

Ye Bai called Huo Jinnan, "Bomb our ship too. I’ve prepared life rings; soon you’ll rescue Xiaojiu and the others."

Huo Jinnan, "Then you should jump into the water first."

Ye Bai, "Alright."

Ye Bai dressed Xiaojiu in a life jacket, looking at him, "Xiaojiu, soon Uncle Huo Jinnan will take you to find dad, okay?"

Xiaojiu looked at Ye Bai, "Mom, what about you?"

Ye Bai, "Mom has to deal with the bad guys. Once they’re all gone, I’ll come find you and dad."

Xiaojiu shook his head, speaking firmly, "Mom, no, I want to stay and protect mom."
