Chapter 11 Share Half of the Bed With You

Looking at Ye Shaotang’s heated gaze, Xu Yi felt extremely wronged on behalf of the previous Xu Yi. She took a deep breath and said lightly, "Perhaps Young Master Ye's memory is not good. I've said before that the previous Xu Yi who was servile, loved you and only looked up to you is dead. The current Xu Yi is a Xu Yi who had escaped death. Those stupid rules before do not apply anymore. If you still want to abide by those rules, I have no objection because I don’t remember them anymore.” “Xu Yi! Don’t go overboard!” Ye Shaotang growled. Even though he had never seen that nonchalant face on Xu Yi before, but it did not feel foreign to him. An Xin was so wishful and bright, but arrogant yet domineering. A lot of people disliked An Xin, but Ye Shaotang liked her. He understood very well that he and An Xin were the same kinds of people. He only acted like this so that he could protect himself and the person he loved. But now looking at Xu Yi who was imitating An Xin, Ye Shaotang panicked in his heart. He pushed Xu Yi away and staggered two steps back before retreating to the window. He looked at the flashing neon lights outside and then finally let out a long exhale. He said in a low voice, “You wanted to set new rules. Tell me, what do you have in mind?” Initially, Xu Yi thought she had no chance, but since Ye Shaotang was letting her speak, she did not hold back. She poured a glass of water to clear her throat and sat down on the sofa opposite of Ye Shaotang. She said, "First, sleeping arrangements. I want to sleep at my own house at night! I have my room over there and I can sleep comfortably on my huge bed. I can roll in any direction I want." Ye Shaotang's pupils contracted. "No, I disagree. You're my wife. If you reside in your maternal home for a long time, people will start making assumptions. You don’t care because people already thought of you as the woman who became my wife by climbing into my bed. But I, Ye Shaotang, will not accept any forms of slander or assumptions. So, you have to stay here with me.” Even though Xu Yi expected this result, but when she heard Ye Shaotang emphasizing on staying with him repeatedly, Xu Yi’s heart submitted and beat faster. She even felt a little excited. Xu Yi even had an illusion that perhaps the original Xu Yi’s soul had not left completely. There were still some fragments of her residing in this body. Otherwise, she would not have felt excited after hearing Ye Shaotang’s tyrannic order. Xu Yi placed her hand on her heart to make sure that she was not having a heart attack before replying, “I can agree to stay here with you since you asked me sincerely, but I have one condition. From today onward, don’t ask me to sleep on the couch.” “On what basis?” Ye Shaotang raised his eyebrows. He glanced at Xu Yi with disdain. “On what basis that you are arranging as such? When was it your turn to arrange this? Xu Yi, don’t think so highly of yourself, and don't demand a mile after you're given an inch." Xu Yi’s lips curled into a sly smile. She waved her phone and chuckled coldly, “On what basis? On the basis that I have so many journalists from different tabloids in my phonebook. Say, we’re a pair of husband and wife who fight constantly. We look fine on the surface but deep down, we hate each other. What do you think our daily life looks like? Will people be interested in us? And you, Young Master Ye, forced your cute, newly wedded wife to sleep on the couch, and she’s still sleeping on the couch. Say, what will those journalists think? Would they think that… hmm… the Young Master Ye has some hidden disease?” At first, Ye Shaotang did not think much, but when he saw Xu Yi’s gaze moving downwards, he burst out with rage. “Xu Yi, how can you be so shameless? You’re the second miss of the Xu Family. Is this how a second miss should behave?” Xu Yi shrugged and laughed gleefully. “Where did this second miss come from? Don’t you know? Plus, I was just analyzing the whole situation for you, Young Master Ye. Why? Does Young Master Ye not have the courage to face the truth? Since when did the high and mighty Young Master Ye become so fearful?” Ye Shaotang took in a deep breath and looked at Xu Yi with heated eyes. “What do you want?” Xu Yi got up and walked over to the huge bed. She patted the bed frivolously and said complacently, “What do I want? Aren’t Young Master Ye clear? It’s so simple. I want to sleep on the bed!” “No way!” Ye Shaotang rejected without even thinking. “I will not sleep on the couch. Stop being delusional, Xu Yi.” Xu Yi squinted her eyes like a little fox. “Young Master Ye have misunderstood. I don’t have the nerves to banish you to sleep on the couch. What I meant was, I can sleep here with Young Master Ye. This bed is big enough, and we have enough bedclothes. We can share this bed, and each of us can have a blanket.” Ye Shaotang smirked, “Xu Yi, you’re forcing me to sleep in the same bed as you so that you can force me to comply and then successfully have my child. But, do you really think that this stupid tactic can make me pay more attention to you?” Xu Yi backed away as if she had just heard the biggest joke in the world. She looked at Ye Shaotang like he was a retard and shook her head. “Ye Shaotang, you're not sick, are you? Do you have persecutory delusions? Do you think someone who banishes his wife to sleep on the couch has enough energy to maintain a healthy husband and wife relationship?" Xu Yi patted Ye Shaotang’s shoulder sympathetically and said in a tone like somebody that has gone through it all, “Young man, you’re still young, and you have money. If you’re not afraid of losing your face, you can go find a doctor, give them some money and then cure your illness. Also, there are a lot of different pills on the market. Just take whichever you want, and you’ll…” “Xu Yi! I know you’re shameless, but I did not know you’re this shameless! What the hell do you want?” Ye Shaotang was almost driven insane by Xu Yi. Who knew that Xu Yi’s personality would change after being sick. It was like she was a whole new person. Xu Yi curled her lips into a satisfied smirk. She crossed her arms while smiling widely. “Aiya, Young Master Ye, don’t be angry. I just don’t want to sleep on the couch. I want to sleep on the bed. But you don’t have to worry about me pouncing on you in the middle of the night since I’m not concerned about you transforming into a wolf. Plus…” Xu Yi laughed sinisterly and added, “Under normal circumstances, Young Master Ye could not do anything without medication. It’s best not to take those pills too much, it’ll cause a lot of harm to your body.” “Xu Yi, that’s enough!” Ye Shaotang could not take it anymore. It was as if he was about to shoot fire out of his eyes. He said to Xu Yi coldly, “Alright, I’ll share half of the bed with you. I’m agreeing to this. What is the next condition? I’m warning you, Xu Yi. Stop suspecting about my ability in that field. If you still are, I don’t mind showing you what a real man is like.”
