Chapter 6: Going Home

Ye Xuan’s battle was a victory, but unfortunately, his bicycle wheels were kicked out of alignment, and he couldn’t even ride home.

Su Mengli looked at Ye Xuan’s bicycle and said, “Ye Xuan, why don’t I give you a ride home?”

Ye Xuan naturally wouldn’t refuse the opportunity for intimate contact with the future Empress. He nodded and said, “That would be great. Thank you.”

“No trouble at all. After all, this whole situation happened because of me.”

Ye Xuan had originally planned to ride the bike himself while carrying Su Mengli. However, Su Mengli thought that Ye Xuan had been injured in the fight and insisted on letting him sit instead.

Unable to decline any further, Ye Xuan reluctantly sat on the back seat of the Empress’s bicycle.

The journey home was not smooth as the road was bumpy. To prevent himself from falling off, Ye Xuan had to reach out and hold onto Su Mengli’s slender waist.

Su Mengli felt Ye Xuan’s actions and her face turned red.

It seemed like Ye Xuan’s touch had some sort of magic that made her body go weak and lose all strength. The bike also slowed down due to this distraction.

Ye Xuan noticed this and said, “Classmate Su, am I too heavy? It must be tiring for you to carry me on your bike. Let me ride instead!”

Su Mengli wanted to say that she could still ride if he removed his hand from her waist, but she couldn’t bring herself to say it. She simply agreed and stopped the bike to switch places.

Ye Xuan was an experienced driver with excellent skills. He rode at a fast speed, but due to the uneven road surface and Su Mengli’s delicate bottom, there were moments of intense jolting that caused Su Mengli to make some ambiguous moaning sounds.

Twenty minutes later, the bike stopped in front of Su Mengli’s house. Su Mengli got off the bike with a slightly resentful expression and rubbed her buttocks.

“Ye Xuan, can you ride a bit slower next time? The speed was too fast.”

Ye Xuan apologized, “Sorry about that. I’ll be more careful next time.”

Su Mengli then said, “I’ll go back first. You can ride my bike home.”

Su Mengli’s house was closer to Ye Xuan’s, so when she said she would send him home, it actually meant that Ye Xuan would drop her off first and then ride her bike back.

Ye Xuan nodded and was about to leave when suddenly rhythmic moaning sounds came from inside the house.

Su Mengli’s house was an old residence with a courtyard and average sound insulation.

The woman’s voice had quite a penetrating power, and both Ye Xuan and Su Mengli could hear it clearly.

Su Mengli’s face turned pale, and Ye Xuan looked at her and asked, “Are those your parents?”

Su Mengli shook her head. “My parents divorced a few days ago. The house was awarded to my mother.”

It was evident that inside the house was Su Mengli’s mother with some unknown man.

Ye Xuan sighed as he didn’t know what to say in this situation.

Su Mengli glanced at her own house and then turned to walk away.

Ye Xuan quickly asked, “Where are you going?”

Su Mengli replied weakly, “I’m going somewhere to stay for a while.”

At this moment, Su Mengli appeared fragile and powerless. Her parents had divorced, her mother brought an unknown man into their home, and now she had heard such noises with her classmate present.

Her emotions were complicated; not only sadness and grief but also shame and anger. She didn’t even want to step into this house anymore because she felt it was dirty and disgusting!

Ye Xuan looked at Su Mengli’s eyes with a touch of heartache. At this moment, he genuinely felt sorry for Su Mengli, not just trying to increase his favorability.

With that in mind, Ye Xuan suggested, “How about staying at my house for a few days?”

Su Mengli looked at him and asked, “Your house?”

Ye Xuan immediately replied, “Yes, my house is quite big. There are several empty bedrooms. My parents are home too, so you don’t have to worry about anything.”

Su Mengli hesitated and said, “Wouldn’t that be too much trouble?”

Ye Xuan assured her, “No trouble at all. My parents are very kind-hearted. I’ve brought friends home before!”

Su Mengli thought for a moment and shook her head. “I’d better not.”

As a high school girl, it would be strange for her to stay at someone else’s house without any reason. Su Mengli refused not because she was worried about what Ye Xuan might do to her.

She felt that if she went there, the impression of herself in Ye Xuan’s parents’ eyes might not be very high. For some reason unknown to her, she cared about what Ye Xuan’s parents thought of her.

After hearing Su Mengli’s refusal, Ye Xuan thought for a moment and then said, “I have another idea. How about going to my sister’s place?

My parents bought her a house, but it’s too far from her law firm. She only goes there on weekends now; there’s no one there currently. You can stay there.”

Upon hearing this suggestion, Su Mengli asked hesitantly, “Wouldn’t that be too much trouble?”

Ye Xuan replied directly, “No problem at all. I’ll call my sister and let her know. I have the keys to the house with me, so it’s not a hassle.”

Su Mengli really didn’t want to stay in her own home anymore. She wanted to finish the college entrance examination as soon as possible and leave that place.

Ye Xuan was doing his best to help her, and she had no reason to refuse anymore. She silently remembered this favor in her heart.

Then, Ye Xuan called his sister Ye Xue and said, “Sister, I have a friend who is in some trouble. Can she stay at your place for a few days?”

Ye Xue’s soft voice came through the phone, “Girls are fine, but no boys!”

Ye Xuan laughed and said, “That won’t be a problem.”

Ye Xue seemed surprised and asked, “Little brother, you actually have a girlfriend? When can I meet her?”

Ye Xue’s voice was not low, and Su Mengli could clearly hear it. Her ears turned red.

Ye Xuan simply replied, “She’s not my girlfriend; she’s just a classmate.”

But Ye Xue retorted, “Just a classmate? Then why are you arranging accommodation for her so attentively? As your big sister and a lawyer, do you think you can fool me? If she’s not your girlfriend, then she must be someone you’re pursuing. Am I right?”

Ye Xuan couldn’t argue with Ye Xue’s words. He hung up the phone directly and explained to Su Mengli, “Don’t mind what my sister said. Just go there and stay comfortably. There won’t be any problems. Let me take you there now.”

Gratefully nodding her head, Su Mengli didn’t say thank you again because great favors don’t need words of gratitude; they are remembered in the heart.

Then, Su Mengli once again sat in the back seat of the bike, and they gradually rode away. As they left, inside the house, a man in his thirties with a strong build embraced a woman who still had charm.

The woman looked displeased and asked, “What are you doing? Why did you specifically do this when my daughter came back from school?”

The man smirked and said, “Your daughter is so beautiful. How can I resist taking advantage of her?”

The woman became angry and said, “You beast! Do you have intentions towards her?”

The muscular man opened his bag and took out a stack of hundred yuan bills, throwing them at the woman.

Then he coldly said, “So what if I have intentions towards her? Isn’t that normal? I’m ten years younger than you and much richer. If it weren’t for your beautiful daughter, do you think I would be interested in an old hag like you? Cooperate with me honestly. In the future, both you and your daughter will live comfortably. If you refuse, then both of you will suffer!”

After hearing these words, the woman hesitated for a moment but eventually said, “Fine, I agree. But when it comes to Mengli, you can’t be rough with her. Take it slow!”

“Don’t worry; I won’t force myself on her. I don’t want to go to jail!”
