Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Trapped by Love

He’d almost forgotten—no matter how clueless Ye Xuanxuan was, she was still the young lady of the Divine Doctor Ye Family.

Just like his beloved wife, Shuanghua! If Ye Shuanghua had been able to cure Han Biwei back then, who was to say her little sister couldn’t do it now?

Qin Tianxuan took a deep breath. ”How confident are you that you can cure her?”

”Whatever you might think, I’m still a daughter of the Divine Doctor Ye Family. I glanced at the medical records on your phone just now. There’s definitely a way to cure her, but... I have conditions...”

A glint flashed in Qin Tianxuan’s eyes. ”You’d better not try to threaten me with this!”

”Hey, this isn’t a threat. It’s a transaction!”

Ye Xuanxuan had finally seized the upper hand.

It was a rare opportunity.

The man before her was lecherous and shameless, vicious and difficult to deal with, but she had finally found his weakness!

SWISH. She produced a two-page contract.

It had been hidden in her purse the whole time, and now Ye Xuanxuan displayed it with a triumphant smirk.

”This is a slave contract! Just sign it and be my slave for three years, and I’ll help you cure Han Biwei!”

RIP, RIP, RIP!

Qin Tianxuan tore the document to shreds.

Radiating killing intent, he grabbed Ye Xuanxuan’s neck. ”Do you believe I’ll throw you from the sky?”

Ye Xuanxuan struggled frantically!

She was terrified, scared to death.

But for some reason, she just felt this man wouldn’t actually hurt her.

’On the train, he’d looked as fierce as a demon, but in the end, he gave me his coat and even told me not to catch a cold.’

It was a concern hidden deep beneath the surface.

Now, Ye Xuanxuan suddenly mustered her courage and shrieked, ”You... go on and kill me, then! Just like you did my sister! It seems both Ye sisters are fated to die by your hand!”

Qin Tianxuan’s heart trembled.

His hand loosened. He turned his head away, his voice filled with anguish. ”Don’t say that!”

”So you do know what pain feels like?” Ye Xuanxuan exploded. ”Ye Shuanghua, my sister, was the greatest beauty in the Imperial Capital! The elite families saw her as a heaven-sent prodigy. She was even the top candidate to be the Ye Family’s heir!”

”And what happened because she fell in love with you? She died a mysterious death in some desolate valley!”

”You got my sister killed, and now you’re going to kill me? Fine, do whatever you want!”

The corners of Qin Tianxuan’s eyes twitched, and his rims turned red.

’In a way, Xuanxuan was right. If it weren’t for me, the Ye Family and the Qin Family would never have sacrificed Shuanghua!’

It had all been a plot to suppress the Night Emperor, to make him so overwhelmed by grief that he would withdraw from the Northern Domain.

The true culprits were the Qin Family and the Ye Family!

But he would never explain any of this to Xuanxuan.

The more he tried to explain, the more disingenuous he would sound.

”I am the one who got your sister killed!” the man admitted in anguish. ”That’s why I won’t hurt you, Xuanxuan. You have plenty of bad habits, but you’re still a naive child at heart. Don’t go back to the Ye Family!”

”Why not?” Ye Xuanxuan was taken aback by his sorrowful expression.

”Because I am going to annihilate the Ye Family!” After saying this, Qin Tianxuan closed his eyes and sat to one side, clearly unwilling to speak further.

SWISH. Another slave contract appeared.

An identical document.

Ye Xuanxuan said cheekily, ”I printed several copies. Go on, sign it. I need a bodyguard. You have no idea, the fiancés my family arranged for me are all bad news. I refuse to get married this early! Think of it as doing it for my sister—help your little sister-in-law out!”

’For Shuanghua...’

At that moment, Qin Tianxuan was emotionally exhausted, trapped by his feelings, and his mind felt hazy.

Ye Xuanxuan keenly sensed this and began to play the pity card.

”I wasn’t even an adult when my sister passed away. I just remember her always being away for her studies, but she never failed to send me a gift on my birthday.”

”One year, I remember it so clearly, the gift my sister sent was a pair of red apples. She also wrote me a letter. She said she was married, that she had fallen in love with a man she could entrust her entire life to!”

”My sister said that no matter how poor he was, she had no regrets. She also wrote that he was the one true love of her life, someone she would never forget, and that if they had a child, she would name her Niannian...”

Tears were already streaming down Qin Tianxuan’s face.

Her love, as deep as the ocean, and her vows, as firm as a mountain—what did they mean now?

Shuanghua was gone.

And now, even Weiwei was unconscious.

’Is this the fate of every woman who gets close to me?’

Even a man of such deep passion, once caught in the throes of love, would inevitably be plagued by fears of gain and loss.

Qin Tianxuan had spent a lifetime on the battlefield, vanquishing countless foes, but this trial of love was proving to be his most difficult, an utterly unbearable ordeal!

While he was still lost in his grief, his finger was lifted, coated with red ink from an ink pad, and pressed onto the slave contract.

Ye Xuanxuan, still holding his finger, let out a wild laugh. She then whipped out her phone and quickly snapped a photo of the contract.

Qin Tianxuan watched helplessly.

In truth, if he hadn’t allowed it, a hundred Ye Xuanxuans couldn’t have possibly succeeded.

But Xuanxuan was Shuanghua’s only sister. What could he do?

The helicopter landed on a skyscraper near Jinling Shenghua Hospital.

Ye Xuanxuan seemed to be on her best behavior now, constantly staring at the ridiculous slave contract and letting out strange giggles every so often.

”You know a document like that has no legal standing,” Qin Tianxuan said, exasperated.

”I don’t care! You’re a man, aren’t you? You made a print, so you have to follow through!”

Ye Xuanxuan’s bratty habits flared up again. Instead of going to the hospital, she insisted on finding a five-star hotel to rest first.

While contacting Lingsu, Qin Tianxuan found the best hotel nearby, the Celestial Essence International Hotel.

After he arranged for the presidential suite, Ye Xuanxuan went inside and immediately gave Qin Tianxuan an order: ”Go buy me a new outfit. I’ve already chosen the brand and size. You’ll need to get underwear, too, plus socks and shoes. Hmm, yes, it’s all on this list!”

Qin Tianxuan didn’t even glance at the list, because Lingsu’s call came through.

”Sir, the medical vehicle has been arranged. Her condition is gradually improving; the oxygen machine can be removed now. We are still in negotiations to acquire Shenghua Hospital!”

”Bring the medical vehicle to Shenghua Hospital. I will resolve the hospital situation before sunset!”

Qin Tianxuan’s reply was terse. ”Send me the background file on Shenghua Hospital! Let’s see who we’re dealing with.”

After sending the files, Lingsu added, ”Taichu from the Ten Thousand Realms Hall has returned. He needs to report the results of his last mission to you!”

Just then, Ye Xuanxuan, having finished her shower, walked out in her sleepwear.

”You haven’t gone to buy my clothes yet? Come here. My feet are sore and aching. Give me a foot rub first!”
