Novel Full Chapter 378: Untitled
Cheng Anya accompanied Third Young Master Ye in the lab until after midnight. Third Young Master Ye was injected with a sedative, and he slept soundly. The lab was extremely quiet save for the sound of electrical equipment working, test tubes knocking each other, and the reaction of experimental agents.
She had indeed fulfilled her vow toward him. In spite of the fear in her, she did not pester Bai Ye and Su Man for fear she would affect their work.
One of them worked on carrying out experiments, while the other worked on analyzing the data. They were collaborating especially well and got back to work after exchanging information. They did not really talk to each other.
She quietly sat aside and accompanied Third Young Master Ye. Although she was extremely tired, she was not sleepy and looked at his face while occasionally looking up at Bai Ye and Su Man. She tried to determine how things were progressing from their eyes.
Later, Bai Ye could not stand it anymore and said, “Anya, go back and rest. Third Young Master Ye has been injected with a sedative and will not wake up until we have formulated the antidote. Waiting here will not help with anything.”
“It’s okay. I am not tired,” Cheng Anya said. She insisted on accompanying Third Young Master Ye.
Bai Ye smiled and said, “I’m not afraid of you getting tired, but the instability of the virus in you increasing and hence acting up earlier.”
Cheng Anya opened her mouth and did not say anything. She held Third Young Master Ye’s hand, refusing to let go. She knew that Bai Ye was correct, but she did not want to leave.
“You can’t just accompany him for a few nights without food or sleep, right?” Bai Ye advised her. Ning Ning’s mommy was way more stubborn than Wei Wei and it was insanely hard to convince her. Looking at how expressionless yet stubborn she was, he was certain he would have to take a very long time to convince her.
“I’ll wait a moment more,” Cheng Anya said. Since she could hang around for a while more, so be it. She had nothing to do after going back to her room.
Bai Ye shook his head and yielded to her. Once she was tired enough, she would go.
He really could not understand what love was and why it turned smart people stupid enough to do things that only idiots would do, which were clearly of no help.
Bai Ye passed the analyzed data to Su Man, who exchanged the experiment data with him.
Su Man slammed the data on the table and coldly looked around. As though a cold wind blew across the lab, he coldly said, “I get vexed when women are around me. It kills my working efficiency!”
Bai Ye was at a loss for words.
‘Beautiful Su, you sure are mean enough!’
How could he say something like this so coldly! While his attitude was somewhat impulsive and his words were as a matter-of-factly, Bai Ye went silent as he recalled questions about his sexual orientation.
There, perhaps, was such a thing.
If not, he would not have avoided someone as gorgeous as Wei Wei.
Cheng Anya slowly stood up and her lips twitched. She was so sad and angry to the point she almost wanted to bang the table. She said, “Dear Beautiful Su, please do not discriminate against the other gender this way.”
Beautiful Su was emotionless and had the ‘I am sexist and what can you do about it’ temperament. He was righteous, arrogant, and did not have the self-awareness to take pity.
Miss Cheng waltzed out of the research lab like a ghost.
Since Su Man said he was vexed and would not entertain women, she would just walk out then. If he said it was inefficient, then the inability to formulate the antidote, however real an issue, was a clear reason she really ought not to wait around in the research lab.
Bai Ye gave a thumbs-up and said, “Good!”
Beautiful Su raised his eyebrows and coldly harrumphed before carrying on working. As time was of the essence, Bai Ye was not in the mood to verbally spar with him. He then went back in front of the monitor to analyze information.
This was one of the hardest diseases he had encountered ever since he began practicing medicine. He had to pay utmost attention to it or risk not being able to keep up with Su Man.
While competition was inevitable, Beautiful Su was arrogant from the onset and his despising attitude made people extremely unhappy. As Bai Ye, termed ‘the genius doctor’, was as arrogant, he would naturally stand up to being looked down upon and would convince him with his mettle.
His ‘genius doctor’ nickname was not for the giggles.
‘Beautiful Su, I curse you that you’ll end up in the clutches of women,’ Cheng Anya sinisterly thought.
How could this beautiful man turn his back to women? This was the first time he said this. Chances are he wanted to drive her away. If all romantic men were sexist, all the ladies who were into BLs and women craving pure love would be really upset.
This planet was almost conquered by ladies who were into BL. She recalled her years trawling on the internet. She knew many women craved a pure love, and the ladies who were into BL all cringed when romantic love was mentioned. It was exceptionally terrifying, and she felt that she was still a woman who craved pure love.
To be despised felt damn terrible.
An image suddenly appeared in her mind. While the saying that passion ensues between a lonely man and woman in the same room stands, what if there were two lonely men instead?
Especially when one of the men was not straight. While Bai Ye’s character and ability were without question, he looked handsome and intricate. This was really…
As she imagined them making out, Miss Cheng became flustered.
Ahh…
She must be mentally unsound to make such an association. Beautiful Su looked at her with the ‘to hell if you offend me’ look, and he clearly looked at everyone else with the ‘thou art below me’ arrogance in his attitude. While he had an attitude that desecrated gods, how could he get into an adulterous affair with Bai Ye?
To think that his talk of sexism triggered her and caused her mind to run wild.
Wow!
Time flew, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Wei had recovered from her injuries and there was nary a bruise on her face as she had fully recovered. The young kid teasingly described his auntie as a cockroach that never died and recovered too quickly.
Like before, when Mo Jue almost wasted her hand, she recovered as quickly this time around as well.
While they had expected her to be somewhat dejected, Ye Wei had been grinning happily ever since she woke up. Her actions were no different from before, and it seemed that she had never met Mo Jue.
She never mentioned Mo Jue or Marshmallow, and it felt as though he had completely disappeared from her world and there was nothing worthy in mentioning him. The organization had matters to see to, and since Ye Wei and Eleven were not in charge of any specific affair, they remained in Riyadh.
During this period, the world outside was calm. The only area where fighting broke out was Melilla. Out of his love for a woman, Chu Li led the elite forces of the terrorist organization to besiege and bombard Country R where Prince William was in.
Since Chu Li was one to go the whole nine yards, he even had people poison the water supply around the castle, depriving them of life-giving water.
He sent helicopters to hover above the castle every day to tell them that ‘I have enough time to play along and let’s see who survives the attrition.’
Only terrorists like him were capable of such brazen and domineering acts. Given how scheming Chu Li could get, depriving the water source was the least of all things he was capable of. If one took Rong Yan out of the equation, the battle would only become even more twisted and intense.
As for the Dragon Gate, Lin Yixuan won his lawsuit and was released. The top brass of City A personally confirmed that it was a misunderstanding. As for Fourth Young Master Tang, his situation was also improving. There were people running the show at the Dragon Gate.
The young kid represented Third Young Master Ye to take care of the Dragon Gate’s affairs in North American while liaising with the terrorists on reinforcing Chu Li at any moment.
The young kid’s suggestion was to mobilize the forces in the Middle East to avoid direct confrontation. Given how Chu Li’s overt actions were a blatant provocation toward Country R, neighboring countries had to militarily intervene however unwilling they were. Even the countries that did not intervene were condemning Chu Li’s actions.
Chu Li doggedly wanted his own way and hovered above the desert daily to provoke Prince William. He simply ignored the encirclement operations of the government forces and even arrogantly claimed that this was a personal vendetta between him and Prince William, and those who stepped in were asking for trouble.
Given how he always carried himself, most of the small countries merely condemned him and did not commit any forces.
Louis was, however, extremely quiet and made no action.
Eleven flatly said, “This does not match Louis’ typical style.”
Ye Wei nodded and agreed. Louis and crew did not typically act as such, and he would not be this low-key even if he acted via proxy.
“Could it be the Mo brothers?” Cheng Anya suddenly asked. She had been reading and discussing these things with them for the past few days and had an overall understanding of things.
“What are they up to then?” Ye Wei keenly pointed out the crux of the problem. Even the young kid did not understand what was going on at the moment.
“The coalition forces would not hold out for long.” Ye Wei smiled alluringly. “Last night, Commander mentioned that anti-terrorist groups have started to intervene and the government forces will quickly disband. I’m sure they would never dream of that. Conflict—the Achilles’ heel of the anti-terrorist groups.”
