Ye Xingguang was awakened by the sound of a door being pounded on. Emerging from her room in a daze, she looked up to see several bodyguards standing in front of the bathroom, effectively blocking the door.

“What is going on here?” she asked, her curiosity piqued.

“Nothing.” Xiao Yun replied with a stern voice, “Miss Ye, please return to your room and continue resting. I’ll call you when the plane has landed.”

Yet Ye Xingguang could hear the sound of ‘thump’, ‘thump; ‘thump’ continuously coming from the bathroom.

It sounded like someone was beating the door with their fists, as she could see indents appearing on it.

“Who’s inside?” she asked curiously.

“It’s Mr. Qing, he’s drunk and raving. Miss Ye, please don’t concern yourself with it,” one of the bodyguards replied.

“What, has his old illness returned?”

Drunk and raving? Did they think she was a fool?

She has seen Ye Junqings tortured state after his illness before.

“Didn’t his illness just flare up a few days ago? It hasn’t been long. His sickness recurs too frequently, doesn’t it?”

To the surprise of the bodyguards, including Xiao Yun, Ye Xingguang was aware of Ye Junqings illness.

Xiao Yun said, “Mr. Qings illness doesn’t follow a regular pattern and it’s hard to prepare for it. That’s why we have many bodyguards accompanying him during every trip. The ive isn’t to protect him, but to control him and protect others.”

Ye Xingguang was stunned. “Really? No wonder he goes to work with a fleet of cars every day. I thought he was just showing off, but there’s this reason too. Don’t lock the door. Let him out. He’s very uncomfortable when he’s sick, trembling from the cold, his whole body shaking…”

Xiao Yun wanted to say, it wasn’t that he was trembling from the cold, but from trying to resist the urge to drink human blood, shivering with teeth chattering due to the exertion.

‘Thump’, ‘thump’, ‘thump’…

The sound of fists pounding the door didn’t stop.

Ye Junqing couldn’t control himself, his mind filled with tempting ‘food’ outside the door. He despised himself at that moment, feeling like a monster. If possible, he would rather be pounding his own head with his fists!

He felt like a vampire, or a zombie. The scenes from zombie movies where mindless, soulless zombies frantically search for human flesh to tear apart were utterly repugnant. He thought, at that moment, he was no more beautiful than those zombies! noveldrama

Once, Xiaoyuwei saw him like this and was totally disgusted. Perhaps it was one of the reasons why, despite cherishing her in the palm of his hand, he couldn’t win her love back. Which woman would want to spend her life with a monster?

“Thump…”

Thinking about it, the man who could devise strategies and command winds and clouds in the business world felt a defeat unparalleled in his life. It was as if he was venting his frustration; this punch was stronger than any other, so hard that it punched right through the door, hitting a bodyguard squarely on the face.

Caught off guard, the bodyguard’s head jerked to one side, creating an angle that allowed Ye Xingguang and Ye Junqing to see each other through the damaged door.

The sight of a pair of clear and bright eyes colliding with a pair of crimson ones startled Ye Xingguang.

Ye Junqing quickly averted his gaze, even moving his body to block her view. He didn’t want her to see him in this terrible state.

This time his condition was obviously worse than the last time she saw him.

Back then, when there was only her within five hundred meters, he could still maintain his elegance and sacred dignity. But now, every person on the plane was like an accelerant, revealing his hideous and repulsive side, with nowhere to hide.

“Xiao Yun, knock her out!” Ye Junqing growled softly.

He didn’t want her to see the worst of him!
