Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1519: 1519: This Child Isn't Yours

Baili Xiao has departed.

On the pristine, snow-covered ground, only Ye Xuan and the remaining two individuals were present.

A moment of silence enveloped the scene.

Ye Xuan turned his head towards the grandfather and granddaughter of the Li family, a smile gracing his lips as he inquired, “Have you made your choice?”

Both were taken aback by the question.

Elder Li was the first to regain his composure. He immediately clasped his hands towards Ye Xuan and stated solemnly, “From this day forward, if Ye Xuan requires anything, the Li Family will spare no effort. We will stand by you through thick and thin, just give the word!”

Given Ye Xuan’s grand aspirations, the Li Family’s decision hinged entirely on the attitude displayed by Heroic Mountain.

Baili Xiao’s stance earlier had been exceptionally clear.

Li Xiyuan also pursed her lips and added, “From now on, anything you need, don’t hesitate to contact me directly. Whatever falls within my power, I will ensure it is done for you.”

“Whatever falls within your power can be done?” Ye Xuan suddenly chuckled, his eyes holding a peculiar glint, “Little Yan, you’ve said it yourself, so don’t go back on your word later.”

Li Xiyuan was momentarily stunned, then seeming to grasp his implied meaning, she quickly retorted, “That is, provided your demands are not unreasonable!”

“Who would ever make unreasonable demands of you?” Ye Xuan jested, shrugging his shoulders, a strange look in his eyes.

Li Xiyuan felt a flustered sensation. What was that supposed to mean? Was he teasing her with hidden intentions, or perhaps showing disdain?

‘Ye Xuan, I hope you just drop dead!’ she inwardly fumed.

Disregarding the murderous glare emanating from Li Xiyuan, Ye Xuan gazed up at the sky and announced, “It’s getting dark soon, and I have my own matters to attend to, so I shall take my leave.”

With that, Ye Xuan turned and began walking back to his residence.

The Li family elder and his granddaughter watched him depart, their expressions somewhat peculiar.

Over the past two days, the nightly occurrences at Ye Xuan’s lodging had become virtually common knowledge within the Li Family. How could they possibly be unaware?

Truly… utterly shameless, beyond all measure!

Li Xiyuan gritted her teeth, muttering with open disdain, “Scum, this fellow is absolute scum!”

Elder Li, however, was more lenient in his judgment. “He’s young and vigorous; it’s quite normal, perfectly normal…”

Li Xiyuan was left speechless.

Naturally, she wouldn’t elaborate further on this particular topic. Her beautiful eyes shifted, and she suddenly posed a question to her grandfather, “Grandfather, Ye Xuan doesn’t just excel in the Void Spirit Fist; his mastery of the Lion Tiger Fist is astonishingly powerful. Do you suspect… he might harbor some undisclosed grievances with the martial arts world?”

The elder’s eyes narrowed slightly. He cast a glance at Li Xiyuan, and for the first time, he admonished her sternly, “One must not be overly inquisitive!”

Another tumultuous night ensued.

The wind ceased its howling, and the rain stopped its downpour.

Reclining on the plush, oversized bed, Ye Xuan leisurely lit a cigarette.

Resting upon Ye Xuan’s chest was Liu Ying, visibly exhausted. She resembled a languid kitten or a contented fox, radiating an alluring charm.

As Liu Ying traced circles on Ye Xuan’s chest, she suddenly inquired, “Ye Xuan, do you think it’s not entirely proper for us to be so… boisterous every night within the Li Family estate?”

Ye Xuan blinked in surprise. His gaze towards Liu Ying took on a peculiar cast. “Liu Ying, since when did you develop a sense of propriety? During our… revelries, you didn’t seem the least bit embarrassed.”

Ye Xuan found Liu Ying’s hindsight-induced shame utterly detestable.

During the heat of the moment, had anyone dared to call her noisy, she would have cursed their ancestors for eighteen generations. Yet now, she started to feel self-conscious. What a ludicrous notion!

He mused, if the neighbors who had temporarily relocated from the Li family estate were to find out, how much regret and vexation they would surely feel!

“It’s easy for you to say with that straight face, as if you possess no shame whatsoever!” Liu Ying pouted. “Such matters are always led by the man. If you weren’t so unrestrained, would I have behaved in such a manner?”

Ye Xuan’s eyes widened in disbelief. “And this is somehow my fault?”

“Whose else could it be? Besides me, naturally,” Liu Ying replied with a sly smile. “We are guests in someone else’s home; we ought to maintain appearances. Tell you what, why don’t you explain to them later, claiming those noises were all from you, and had nothing to do with me.”

“What?” Ye Xuan exclaimed, utterly stunned. “Liu Ying, have you lost your mind? Me, a grown man, making those kinds of sounds?”

“Ye Xuan, there’s nothing you can’t do, is there?” Liu Ying said, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

“But I still require my dignity!” Ye Xuan protested indignantly. “Besides, even if I were willing to clear your name, I would still need an opportunity, wouldn’t I? Do you expect me to just randomly– snatch someone from the Li family and declare that? They’d think I was completely insane!”

Upon hearing this, Liu Ying’s delicate finger, which had been tracing patterns on Ye Xuan’s chest, paused. Then, she simply rolled off his body.

Ye Xuan was astonished by her abrupt action.

Liu Ying smirked wryly. “Men are all the same; when they need you, they call you ‘sweetheart,’ but when they don’t, they won’t even do you the small favor of enduring a little embarrassment, leaving their woman to suffer while they refuse to bear even a minor inconvenience.”

Ye Xuan felt an urge to curse her out.

‘Liu Ying, you’re pushing it too far,’ he thought.

‘Your notorious reputation outside, did I force it upon you? During our passionate moments, did those thoughts never cross your mind? And now you’re concerned about your reputation?’

However, the fleeting anger soon subsided, and in the very next moment, Ye Xuan found his composure.

Liu Ying, being the mischievous trickster she was, thrived on drama. Letting her have her way and completely ignoring her was the only sensible course of action.

Therefore, Ye Xuan occupied himself with smoking his cigarette, feigning ignorance to everything she said.

A glance flickered towards Ye Xuan, and Liu Ying suddenly uttered, ‐ ‐ ‐ am I pregnant?‐ ‐ ‐

Ye Xuan’s hand faltered, and he let out a cold laugh. ‐ ‐ ‐ Liu Ying, given how things stand between us now, do you really think I’d be afraid of my wife suspecting you’re pregnant and turning against me? That trick is ancient history!‐ ‐ ‐

‐ ‐ ‐ The child isn’t yours.‐ ‐ ‐ Liu Ying added provocatively.

Ye Xuan was taken aback. ‐ ‐ ‐ What?‐ ‐ ‐

‐ ‐ ‐ When I get angry, words just spill out. Perhaps you should just end my life. Otherwise, by tomorrow, everyone will know you’ve been cuckolded ‐ quite humiliating for a man, wouldn’t you agree?‐ ‐ ‐ Liu Ying continued, her tone laced with a hint of malice.

Ye Xuan trembled with rage. ‐ ‐ ‐ Liu Ying, you truly…‐ ‐ ‐

Unfazed, Liu Ying checked the time dismissively. ‐ ‐ ‐ It’s still early, why don’t I go out and find someone to chat with?‐ ‐ ‐

With that declaration, Liu Ying made to get up and put on her clothes.

Ye Xuan swiftly reached out and restrained her.

‐ ‐ ‐ You’re not seriously going to kill me, are you?‐ ‐ ‐ Liu Ying feigned surprise.

‐ ‐ ‐ I…‐ ‐ ‐ Ye Xuan wore a pained expression. ‐ ‐ ‐ Fine, fine, I agree, alright? Tomorrow morning, I’ll find someone from the Li family and explain that all these noises lately weren’t from you ‐ they were all from me, okay?‐ ‐ ‐

‐ ‐ ‐ Don’t make things too difficult for me, please?‐ ‐ ‐ Liu Ying put on a show of being conflicted.

‐ ‐ ‐ It’s not difficult at all. ‐ ‐ ‐ Ye Xuan managed a strained smile. ‐ ‐ ‐ You are my woman, and it is my responsibility to cherish and protect you.‐ ‐ ‐

‐ ‐ ‐ Really?‐ ‐ ‐ Liu Ying inquired, her eyes wide.

‐ ‐ ‐ Really.‐ ‐ ‐ Ye Xuan affirmed with a nod.

‐ ‐ ‐ Muah!‐ ‐ ‐ Only then did Liu Ying bestow a radiant smile, nestling back into Ye Xuan’s embrace. ‐ ‐ ‐ My dearest husband, you’re simply the best! How could I ever betray you? I was merely teasing you earlier. Besides you, I wouldn’t let any other man even touch me, no matter what!‐ ‐ ‐

Holding a beautiful woman in his arms, Ye Xuan felt an overwhelming urge to weep.

Liu Ying, you truly possess extraordinary abilities.

First, you used the fake pregnancy ploy to keep me in check, and now that it’s lost its effectiveness, you employ the cuckoldry tactic with the same devastating outcome … Liu Ying, your ruthlessness knows no bounds!

Wang Shaoyang, please hasten your return from the dead; I can no longer endure this woman’s antics!
