The Physicist Wife Who Overturned The World Novel - Chapter 262

Chapter 262 So Gentle

Because of Ye Jiushang’s suppression, the dozen or so people present did not speak or dare to move. They just waited and stood there silently. Apart from a small number, most of them did not understand what was going on.

The atmosphere was abnormally quiet, a little strange even. A group of people stood there in a daze, with only a few having normal expressions. Those people were Little Lei, Zhuri, and Fuyun. The others, including Gu Jinyuan, all felt a little uncomfortable.

As time trickled by, fifteen minutes, thirty minutes passed. Only then did Xue Fanxin move. When she returned to her senses and noticed the odd atmosphere, she asked in confusion, “What are you all doing?”

As Ye Jiushang did not permit anyone to speak, no one dared to answer her. Gu Jinyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

From what had happened today, he could tell that Ye Jiushang not only wanted absolute possession of Xue Fanxin, but he also protected her. On the other hand, Xue Fanxin trusted him fully. The two of them were in love and had given their hearts to each other. It was very difficult for a third party to interfere.

Since this was Xin’er’s choice, he should give her his blessings.

“It’s okay, don’t worry about them. Do you feel uncomfortable?” Ye Jiushang ignored the others. He treated them as if they did not exist and only had Xue Fanxin in his eyes. His gentleness only belonged to her. Little Lei and the others were already accustomed to such things, so they did not find it strange.

However, the others all looked shocked. They really could not understand how a dignified, cold, and arrogant guy could have such a gentle side.

Xue Fanxin turned her attention away from the crowd. She looked at Ye Jiushang and shook her head slightly. “I don’t feel uncomfortable. It’s just that there are some things in my mind. Just like those notes last time, I can’t digest them for a while.”

“There’s no need to force yourself. Epiphany depends on the right time, place, and person. Fate is important.”

“Yes, yes. I won’t think about it for now.” Xue Fanxin nodded heavily. In front of Ye Jiushang, she was like an obedient little girl. She was sweet, cute, and charming.

Yi Fentian felt even more uncomfortable seeing her like this. He wished he could rush forward and snatch Xue Fanxin from Ye Jiushang’s hands.

However, he knew that this would not work. Unless Xin’er was interested in him as in the past, he would definitely not be able to steal her from Ye Jiushang.

Xin’er, do you really not like me anymore?

Xue Fanxin really did not take Yi Fentian seriously. Even if Yi Fentian had been deceived by Li Yaoyao back then, what he had done to a little girl who liked him made her feel ashamed for him. If not for the fact that he had later come to his senses, she would not have let this scumbag off.

Forget it. Just treat him as a stranger.

After Xue Fanxin and Ye Jiushang chatted for a while, she turned her attention to Gu Jinyuan and asked with a smile, “Gu Jinyuan, you’ve been trapped here for a while. Where do you usually rest?”

“There’s an empty place not far ahead. There are stone houses on both sides, and every stone house is identical. There are two rooms with a courtyard, with a total of twenty stone houses,” Gu Jinyuan said. He paused for a moment as if he were in a difficult position. Then, he continued, “I have two stone houses here, and I can give one to you. The other stone houses are occupied by the four great clans…”

Gu Jinyuan hoped that the four great clans could give up one or two stone houses to Xue Fanxin, Ye Jiushang, and the others. After all, there were quite a few stone houses, and there were not many people from the four great clans. Many houses were empty and unoccupied, but they were still claimed.

However, after Gu Jinyuan finished speaking, the people from the four great clans did not respond for a long time. They pretended not to have heard anything, including Yi Fentian and Bai Han.

Of course, they would not easily give up the stone houses. Being trapped in this place, food and shelter were very important.

So what if he was the Ninth Imperial Uncle?

After spending a long time in this damned place, even the emperor had to lie down.
