Husband, Let Your Husband Treat Your Illness - Chapter 26

Chapter 26

Ye Mo had assumed that after their night together, Dongfang Jin would have forgotten about the matter. To his surprise, the moment he opened his eyes in the morning, he found Dongfang Jin’s two large eyes staring fixedly at him, leaving him completely dazed. “It’s early morning; what are you staring at me for?” Ye Mo’s voice was thick with sleepiness, stoking the fire in Dongfang Jin’s heart.

“Mo, you really know how to provoke me.” Dongfang Jin’s words left Ye Mo bewildered. I only said one sentence; how did that provoke you? “However, you still need to confess honestly: what exactly happened at the gala last night?”

“Get lost, you ‘erotic waste’.” Ye Mo spoke in that same tone again. “It’s nothing, you’re overthinking it.”

“Mo, why is your voice so pleasant to listen to? I’m intoxicated,” Dongfang Jin said, putting on a look of total enchantment.

“Scram! Don’t disturb my sleep.” With that, Ye Mo rolled over to the other side.

“Mo, are you sick?” Dongfang Jin shamelessly pressed up against him, sticking to Ye Mo’s back.

“Sick my foot! If you wake me up again, I’ll kick you off the bed.” Ye Mo’s voice remained soft and “milky.”

“Mo, you must be sick. Let your husband take a look.”

“Scram!” Ye Mo wasn’t lying; he delivered a flying kick.

“Mo, I want you.” As he spoke, one of Dongfang Jin’s hands found its way back to Ye Mo’s waist.

“If you want to be able to do it in the future, go ahead and keep your hand right there.” Within Ye Mo’s calm words resided a thick sense of murderous intent.

Dongfang Jin had no choice but to withdraw his hand, a trace of disappointment on his face. “Mo, I’m heading to the family hospital to work today. It’ll probably be busy. If you’re at home, remember to eat on time. I’ll have Mom keep an eye on you.”

“Got it.”

“If nothing is happening this afternoon, I’ll come back early to accompany you.”

This sentence was like a stone sinking into the ocean; it received no response from Ye Mo. When Dongfang Jin turned back, he saw that Ye Mo had already fallen back asleep. Dongfang Jin gave Ye Mo’s backside a quick pat and headed out.

Downstairs, Dongfang Jin ate a hasty breakfast. Before leaving, he said to Chi Yuan, “Mom, Xiao Mo is home alone today. Keep an eye on his meals. Forget breakfast, let him sleep more. For lunch, cook some porridge and brew some soup to settle his stomach.”

“Alright, alright. Honestly, you’re becoming more of a nag by the day.”

“Auntie, Big Brother is nagging out of love. Have you ever seen him this long-winded before?” Dongfang Yongxiao said while sipping millet porridge and eating a small bun.

“You, shut up. Don’t upset Xiao Mo while you’re home today, not with that mouth of yours.”

“Big Brother, I wouldn’t dare. I’m going out later to look up materials. Don’t think I’m going to bully your precious Ye Mo.”

“You’d better not.” Dongfang Jin checked his watch. “Alright, I’m running late, I have to go. Mom, remember porridge and soup.” Dongfang Jin’s voice faded as he left. Just then, Ye Mo walked down, dressed neatly.

“Xiao Mo, why are you up?” Chi Yuan asked. Based on what Dongfang Jin said, she thought he wouldn’t be up this morning. “Xiao Jin said you slept late. Since you’re up, come have breakfast.”

“Mom, I’ll skip it. I haven’t been to the company in a long time; I need to head over there this morning.”

“You should eat before you go. Otherwise, Xiao Jin will worry himself to death. Come here.”

Under Chi Yuan’s persuasion, Ye Mo drank a bowl of porridge and ate some buns before rushing out.

Ye Mo’s company had actually separated from the Ye Group building, but it wasn’t far away. Firstly, it was because Ye Mo was lazy; if he didn’t want to buy something, he’d just borrow it from the Ye Group for convenience. Secondly, it was the Old Master’s order that they weren’t allowed to be too far apart, otherwise, it would feel like the family had split up. Ye Mo was satisfied with the location, but in a year of 365 days, it was impressive if he showed up for five. Why his company hadn’t gone bankrupt yet remained a great mystery.

Consequently, as soon as Ye Mo reached the lobby, he was stopped by a security guard.

“Who exactly are you? Show your ID.”

“I am the General Manager of this company, Ye Mo,” Ye Mo said impatiently.

“The GM of this company is surnamed Fu. Do you take me for a fool? Show your ID quickly, or I’ll have to ask you to leave.”

“You wait right there.” Ye Mo spat out those words and turned to make a call.

“Hey, get down here and get me. I’m being blocked by my own security guard.” Ye Mo spoke into the phone with fury.

“Hahaha, serve you right! Who told you to barely show up at the office? Aside from a few executives who have seen you on video calls, which employee actually knows you?”

“Stop talking nonsense and get down here.” Ye Mo hung up.

A moment later, Fu Yu stepped out of the elevator. Seeing the manager come down, the security guard rushed forward with an expression like a sycophant. “Manager Fu, what brings you down?”

“I’m here to pick up the General Manager.”

The guard was stunned; his jaw nearly hit the floor. “Gen… General Manager?” Sweat began to pour off him in layers.

“You finally made it down.” From a distance, seeing Fu Yu’s smirking face, Ye Mo wanted to tear it off and use it to scrub the floor.

“My dear General Manager, what’s with today? A surprise inspection? Come on up.” Ye Mo looked at the guard who had blocked him; the man’s face had turned white with fear.

Once in his office, Ye Mo saw that the decor was exactly the same as the last time he visited, which was three years ago. “Why haven’t you changed the layout here? This stuff looks so tacky now.”

“My dear Fourth Young Master Ye, this is your place. How would I dare change it without permission?”

“Fine, let’s get to business. Did Grandpa really give us the Lexus Hotel project?”

“Yes, and Grandpa also said there’s another partner we have to work with on this.”

“It couldn’t be Mo Ziran’s company, could it?”

“You knew? Didn’t you leave early last night?” Fu Yu was puzzled. The young master left early; how did he know?

Ye Mo cursed internally: That old geezer, he didn’t tell me about the partnership. What kind of project is this, and what kind of partner? He added: I damn well thought he was lying to me. That guy Mo is a real bastard.

“The partner is coming over today.” This sentence from Fu Yu was the final straw.

“Coming over? Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Ye Mo stood up to leave, but a secretary walked in. “Manager Fu, President Mo from Moyan Group have arrived.”

Ye Mo pressed his hand to his forehead. It seemed what was meant to come couldn’t be avoided. “Send him in,” Fu Yu said, pulling Ye Mo back and pushing him into his office chair. “Stay here.”

“I’m turning around. You talk to him; I’ll just listen.”

Just as Ye Mo turned his chair, Mo Ziran walked in. Before even standing still, he asked, “Vice-Manager Fu? Where is your President Ye?” Fu Yu didn’t know how to respond, so he looked back and forth between Mo Ziran and Ye Mo, who was sitting in the chair frantically gesturing and shaking his head. The scene was quite comical.

“President Mo, I’m sorry, our President Ye is not in.”

“If President Ye is not here, then we won’t discuss this matter for now.”

“President Mo, you can talk to me. I have the same authority as President Ye in this company.”

“At the gala, Chairman Ye said this project was to be handled by President Ye and me, not you, Vice-Manager Fu.”

Fu Yu wore an awkward expression and looked at Ye Mo again.

“I’m here. Talk to me then.” Ye Mo stood up helplessly.

“I knew you were here. Vice-Manager Fu already sold you out.”

“Come on then. You didn’t come here to talk nonsense. Let’s skip the formalities, President Mo,” Ye Mo said.

The three of them moved to a small conference room to discuss the project.

Ye Mo was somewhat surprised. The man’s behavior at the gala had been nothing short of a rogue, yet now, while discussing the project, he was perfectly professional. Every gesture was filled with ambition and talent. It had to be said this man was very charming. If Ye Mo were a girl, he would definitely fall for a man like this. However, Ye Mo’s heart already belonged to a man in a white lab coat.

“President Ye, that is our entire plan and vision. What do you think?”

“Hearing about it is not as good as seeing it. Your reputation is well-deserved, President Mo. I have no objections to the project. Fu Yu, you?”

“No objections here either.”

“Fine then. Fu Yu, I’ll leave this matter to you.”

“No, I hope President Ye will be the one in charge of this project,” Mo Ziran insisted.

Ye Mo signaled for Fu Yu to step out. Fu Yu left, giving Ye Mo a “fighting” gesture as he went.

“President Ye, we haven’t finished talking about what happened the other day.”

“President Mo, I told you we should only discuss things on a professional level. For private matters, I hope you maintain some respect.”

Just as he finished speaking, Mo Ziran stood up and pressed Ye Mo against the wall. Ye Mo’s physique offered him no advantage against Mo Ziran.

“Mo Ziran! Let go of me!”

“Ye Mo, I really do like you.” Mo Ziran pressed against Ye Mo and began to forcibly kiss him. Ye Mo dodged frantically, but his hands were pinned; he had no chance of escaping Mo Ziran’s grasp.

“Ye Mo! What are you doing?”

The two froze and looked toward the door. Dongfang Jin was standing right there. On the other side, Fu Yu’s eyes were wide and his mouth was agape, completely stunned by the scene.

“Jin, let me explain.” Dongfang Jin clearly wasn’t going to give Ye Mo a chance to explain. He stepped forward and punched Mo Ziran directly, causing blood to appear at the corner of the man’s mouth.

“Stop it! Stop fighting! Fu Yu, hurry up and pull them apart!”

Fu Yu and Ye Mo used all their strength to separate the two. Ye Mo rushed in front of Dongfang Jin and shouted, “Dongfang Jin! Calm the hell down!” Dongfang Jin paused, and Ye Mo quickly signaled for Mo Ziran and Fu Yu to leave.

“Ye Mo, how do you expect me to be calm! He was pressed against you, he was kissing you! Don’t you think my head is looking quite green right now?” (Note: “Wearing a green hat” is a Chinese idiom for being cheated on).

“Dongfang Jin, what the hell are you talking about? Green head? Have I done anything behind your back?”

“Isn’t this enough? If it isn’t, then let me beat that bastard to death.”

“Dongfang Jin, what happens if he’s hurt? What if he sues you? You go to jail? Am I supposed to spend money to bail you out?”

“Ye Mo! Don’t you think you shouldn’t be the one criticizing me? Ask yourself what you were doing!”

“I was resisting! Are you blind?”

“It looked to me like you were enjoying it! Do I not satisfy you every night?”

“Dongfang Jin! You absolute bastard!”

With that, Ye Mo punched Dongfang Jin in the face and stormed out, leaving Dongfang Jin alone in the room in silent sorrow.
