Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 865: Chapter 522: Intimacy / Another Frenzy

Though he had resolved to be a ”responsible” prison director, Li Jingsong couldn’t ignore Ye Xuan completely. After some thought, he gave Luo Ye a gentle smile: ”I’m not unreasonable. Since Major General Ye came specifically to see you, why don’t you both sit in the meeting room for a while? I’ll have the cafeteria send over some porridge, and you can return to your cell after eating.” He glanced at Ye Xuan, ”Major General Ye, are you satisfied with this arrangement?”

Since Luo Ye had already laid things out and suffered such grievances, Ye Xuan didn’t want her efforts to be in vain. He coolly sized up Li Jingsong: ”Thank you for your consideration, Prison Director Li.”

”It’s my duty, really.” Seeing Ye Xuan agree, Li Jingsong breathed a long sigh of relief. He had felt cornered and resorted to this strategy. Yet, thinking of the young man in front of him, barely in his twenties and already a major general in such a department, sent chills down his spine. In the entire country, how many such people existed... Suddenly, Li Jingsong froze. Ye Xuan, surname Ye, a major general in his twenties...

”It’s truly admirable for someone so young to have achieved such success, Major General Ye,” Li Jingsong probed.

Ye Mo quickly chimed in, ”Our boss climbed the ranks purely on his own merit.”

”Heroes emerge young; it’s truly awe-inspiring! My admiration!” Li Jingsong praised, feeling slightly relieved in his heart, knowing they didn’t enjoy engaging with him. Once in the meeting room, he voluntarily stepped out.

”I’ll go check on the cafeteria, and I’ll bring the porridge when it’s ready.” Ye Mo also found an excuse to slip away.

At this moment, Ye Xuan’s heart and mind were fully on Luo Ye, so until Ye Mo left and closed the door, he showed no reaction. Luo Ye playfully slapped him: ”Please, pay some attention in front of others, won’t you?”

”What’s there to mind? It’s not like he doesn’t know about our relationship.” Ye Xuan held her tightly, his eyes full of tender affection: ”You haven’t eaten in two days, can you hold on?”

Luo Ye looked at him with amusement: ”Do I look like I’m about to collapse?”

Ye Xuan awkwardly scratched his head, a hint of blush on his cheeks.

”Silly!” Luo Ye pinched his cheek, her expression turning serious as she looked at him earnestly: ”I know you cherish and care for me, but you must also trust me. I wouldn’t gamble with my life. Going without food for two days is no big deal for me; my constitution can handle it, even for five days.

Earlier, had I not stopped you in time, Prison Director Li and Officer Bai would already be in trouble, right? Ye Xuan, you’re not Feng Tianzhi. If this behavior were his, people would just laugh it off. But if it were you, the negative impact would destroy your year-long efforts.”

Ye Xuan’s demeanor turned serious: ”Ye’er, if my promotion and future hinge on swallowing my pride while watching you suffer, I’d rather not have them.”

”Oh, are you getting stubborn too?” Luo Ye looked at him helplessly, ”When did I tell you to endure others bullying me? Like today, everything I endured will get its due reward.

I’ll say it again, Feng Tianzhi is Feng Tianzhi, and you are you. Don’t use his ways to handle your matters, especially in matters of the heart. That approach is the most meaningless, don’t you think?”

”Ye’er.” Ye Xuan flicked her forehead, ”I didn’t act that way to emulate Feng Tianzhi. Do you think I’m naturally meek? It’s only in front of you that I have a gentle temperament.

Ye’er, you’re always worried that I’ll imitate Feng Tianzhi, but the fact is, this is my real nature. Since I decided to be with you, I’ve feared I wouldn’t be able to protect you in the future, which makes me hesitate in my actions.

After nearly a year of trials, I’ve realized that forcing myself to endure doesn’t always yield the best results; it often leads to anxiety. Of course, unless someone crosses my bottom line, I won’t misuse my power, so you can rest assured.”

Luo Ye hesitated:” Being with me, does it exhaust you?”

”Silly, what are you saying?” Ye Xuan cupped her face, forcing her to look him in the eyes: ”Look into my eyes and feel with your heart. Am I really what you’re worried about?”

”I don’t know.” Luo Ye’s eyes lowered. Ye Xuan’s words truly made her a little anxious. After all, this was her first time experiencing love in two lifetimes, and Ye Xuan was such an outstanding man. That’s why her anxiety was understandable.

”Knock, knock, knock...” A sudden knock at the door made Ye Xuan quickly move over and open it. Xiao Wang and Officer Bai stood outside with a pot of porridge and bowls.

Officer Bai sensibly handed a bowl to Ye Xuan: ”Major General Ye, this nutritional ’Golden Porridge’ is Chef Li’s specialty from our cafeteria. It’s delicious and nutritious, and it’ll do Miss Luo good to have more.”

”Thank you.” Ye Xuan took the pot and bowl, nodding to the two to signal them to close the door before he returned to sit beside Luo Ye: ”Ye’er, eat first, and we’ll talk after you finish.”

”Mm, I’m actually quite hungry.”

Only after finishing a bowl of porridge did Luo Ye remember: ”Oh right, didn’t Brother Ye go to the kitchen? Why hasn’t he come back?”

”He’s probably hiding in the car by now. Come on, have another bowl...” Ye Xuan patted her head and continued their earlier conversation: ”Don’t ever doubt my feelings for you again, all right?”

”Why did you have to be so handsome? You’re trouble wherever you go.” Luo Ye said, giving Ye Xuan a glance and then snorted, ”You said it yourself, ’forcing yourself to endure doesn’t always yield the best results.’ How do I know you’re not feeling too weighed down being with me and want to get out?” Her eyes turned slightly mischievous: ”Or maybe, you’ve found a better girl...” Before she could finish, her words were cut off by his gentle lips...

Luo Ye pushed against Ye Xuan: ”No... no... there are people... people outside...”

Ye Xuan let her go with a mischievous grin: ”So does Ye’er mean I can kiss you when no one’s around?”

Luo Ye angrily bit his arm: ”Annoying, how come you’re getting more and more improper?”

”I only act a bit improper in front of you occasionally.” Ye Xuan picked up a small bowl and fed her spoonful by spoonful, ”You always like to show off, always making me worried. What am I supposed to do?”

”Hey, I can’t afford to slack off, scared you’ll leave me.”

”Silly, would I leave you? It’s me who’s worried you’ll leave me.”

”...”

The young couple laughed and joked for a while, Luo Ye suddenly slapped her forehead: ”Right, I’ve been caught up in nonsensical talking with you. Let me ask you, did you come here without going home first?”

Ye Xuan nodded: ”Yes.”

”I knew it, if you had known, you shouldn’t have done it this way. Actually, this time...” Luo Ye detailed the affair of Wen Yewu’s three families uniting to bring down the Yodan Family to Ye Xuan.

...

”Yo, you’re back? How’s the wonderful feeling of being locked in confinement?” As soon as Luo Ye entered the cell, Yang Ping mocked her with irony.

Luo Ye’s lips curled up: ”It was so great. I suggest you try it out too.”

Qiao Xiaowan’s eyes gleamed with satisfaction: ”I heard you haven’t eaten for two days, is it true?”

”That’s right, you’re quite well-informed.” Luo Ye looked at her with a smile, ”Are you planning to take advantage of me when I’m starving?”

”We wouldn’t be that petty, at most...,” Qiao Xiaowan gave a look, ”at most, it’s one-on-one fights.” As her words ended, Yang Ping had already lunged towards Luo Ye.

”Don’t overestimate yourself!” Luo Ye’s face darkened.

Some people, when you give them a chance, it’s like setting traps for yourself. This time, she absolutely won’t hold back!

Watching the attackers falling one by one in front of Luo Ye, the pride in Qiao Xiaowan’s eyes vanished, hesitating whether to throw the small vial in her hand towards Luo Ye.

She dreamed of making Luo Ye become like her but if she failed again this time, she might never have another chance. Thinking this, she steeled her heart and hurled the vial towards Luo Ye.

Just at this moment, Yang Ping, shouting, lunged at Luo Ye again. Luo Ye’s eyes flashed with a cold light, pulled Yang Ping and pushed her away, swiftly retreating. ”Boom!” ”Ah!...” — History repeated itself, the vial exploded in front of Yang Ping. Luckily, Luo Ye, kind-hearted, spun her around at the last moment, making the explosion hit her back. Otherwise, Yang Ping would really have ended up like Qiao Xiaowan.

”A dog can’t change its habit of eating shit!” Just as Luo Ye finished speaking, the cell door opened, and Officer Bai and Xiao Wang walked in. Seeing the scene in the room, Officer Bai’s eyes were full of despair. With things getting to this stage, neither she nor Prison Director Li could walk away unscathed. Her earlier phone call was likely in vain too.

Luo Ye, expression indifferent, pointed at Yang Ping howling on the floor: ”Hurry and take her to the hospital. And by the way, if you all still want to wrongly accuse me of doing this, please weigh it carefully first.”

Officer Bai looked at the dumbfounded Xiao Wang and gave her a push: ”Hurry and notify Prison Director Li, don’t use the phone.”

”Yes!” Xiao Wang hastily ran out, only to trip herself, falling on the ground with left leg tangled with right. The dazed Fan Rui beside quickly helped her up.

”Thank you!” Xiao Wang quickly ran out of sight.

Officer Bai hesitated for a moment, then looked at Luo Ye: ”If such things were to get out, it won’t be good for anyone.”

”What do you mean?”

”Solve it internally, okay?” Officer Bai’s eyes were full of pleading, ”In the future, as long as it’s something I can help with, as long as you speak, I will absolutely give my all!”

”Impossible!” Luo Ye looked at her with amusement, ”Should I say you’re naive or just plain naive?”

”You!” Officer Bai glared at Luo Ye, her eyes filled with anger, a woman in her thirties being pointed at by a girl not even twenty and called naive. She really couldn’t swallow this!
