Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Chapter 900: Unspeakable Danger

He seldom smoked, and he was not addicted.

“What’s up? Did something go wrong?”

Shen Qianshu opened up the windows, and the smoky smelly dispersed. Her nose was uncomfortable, and she sneezed several times. Ye Ling put out the cigarette in the ashtray, and Shen Qianshu looked over. There were a lot of cigarettes in the ashtray.

He had smoked at least two packs of cigarettes.

Shen Qianshu went downstairs and made him some mint tea. “Master, did you experience something bad?”

“Uh huh.”

“Big issue?”

“Uh huh.”

Very very big.

Shen Qianshu felt a little sorry for him. She never ever got herself involved in his work matters. She still was not sure of the nature of Ye Ling’s job either. The trade that he was involved in was very complicated, but he was not the kind of CEO who handled everything all by himself. He handed many things over to a professional manager. The Ye Family had cultivated several independent members. It did not seem like his proper career was the thing that was troubling him.

She felt really bad for him, but she knew that she could not help either.

In fact, he never spoke of it.

He was clearly frowning. He had always been a person who did not show much emotion. No matter if he was happy or angry, he would seldom reveal his feelings. Shen Qianshu felt that it was really strange that his expression could be read so clearly.

She reached her hand out and massaged his temples softly.

She leaned onto the desk slightly and stood before him. The smell on her was an aroma he had gotten used to. It was familiar and affectionate. He felt confused and helpless for a moment, and then he seemed to be remorseful.

“Smoking can’t solve your troubles. Why don’t you get some rest?”

She already ran out of ideas to flirt with Ye Ling.

He seemed like he had big issues troubling him, and he was really unhappy.

“Go have some rest first,” Ye Ling said calmly.

He had stopped taking his medication, and his body was already in a dangerous state. He could not be with her alone at night. If something irreversible occurred, he would shoot himself to death. So, he did not intend to interact with her alone at night.

There were surveillance cameras all around the study room.

He did not have to worry.

“Are you not going to rest?”

Ye Ling said, “I still have some matters to handle.”

“Can’t you do it tomorrow?”

“No,” Ye Ling said softly. “This is a very dangerous issue that involves the lives of many. I still have to wait for information from Europe. I cannot slack whenever I want. Go have some rest first.”

Shen Qianshu took a deep breath and nodded. “Drink the mint tea first.”

Ye Ling did not refuse. He drank the mint tea.

Shen Qianshu left the study room, and the entire castle was really silent. The people in the monitoring room heaved a sigh of relief. Zhong Ran and Ah Da took turns to monitor the scenario in the study room. Yesterday night, Ye Ling almost relapsed. After he stopped taking medication, his condition had been very bad.

He had to take the medication every day.

A few years ago, he still had to take them twice a day. During these past few years, his condition had been turning better, and his dosage was reduced to daily. Afterward, it became once every two days. Ever since he had stopped his medication, his emotions began fluctuating. Zhong Ran was really afraid that he would have a relapse.

The happenings last night was a very dangerous signal.

But Ye Ling did not tell anyone. Not even Luther, who was far away in Paris.

Zhong Ran took a bottle of pills and placed it on the desk. He said softly, “Master, although I don’t know what you want to do, your situation is very dangerous right now. You want to stop your medication, yet you don’t have the ability to control your second self. If anything happens, you will regret it.”

Ye Ling took up the bottle of pills, and his eyes were really cold. “I will bear the consequences!”
