Attack of the Adorable Kid: President Daddy's Infinite Pampering

What did he mean he couldn’t live for long?

Shangguan Wan widened her eyes, staring at Ye Yanfeng in disbelief. It took her a long time before she found her voice. When it finally came out, it was hoarse. “What’s wrong?”

His face was pale and thin. Actually, she had briefly guessed that his body might not be in good condition. However, she never thought that he would tell her immediately that he wouldn’t live for long.

Shangguan Wan’s heartstrings were taut as she leaned closer towards the man and hugged his neck with both hands.

The man didn’t push her away, merely burying his handsome face in the crook of her shoulder.

“After I brought you to the base, Father didn’t trust me completely and he implanted a microchip in my brain.”

His voice was filled with hurt and betrayal, sounding low and hoarse. Almost instinctively, Shangguan Wan tightened her hold over his shoulders. She didn’t speak to interrupt him, her heart tensed as she listened to him speak slowly.

“The microchip is actually a miniature bomb, a device invented by the group to deal with betrayers. For the betrayers who have the microchip implanted in them, the group will start a countdown for the microchip, and the longest one can live is one year while the shortest is three months. This type of torture is more cruel than any other punishment, because they can face death anytime since no one knows when that damned thing in their heads will explode!”

Shangguan Wan had heard of the various types of punishments the SSS group dealt to their betrayers. However, it was her first time hearing about implanting a microchip that served as a miniature bomb. It must be a new device the group had invented.

She had never thought that Ye Fengshu would be so ruthless to implant such a thing into her own son!

“Then… can’t you take it out?”

Ye Yanfeng closed his eyes, his handsome face filled with numbness and despair. “Once the countdown starts, it would be impossible to take it out anymore. When they first put it in me, they pressed it tightly against my nervous system, so if the doctor touches the hidden switch when they take it out, it will explode immediately.”

Shangguan Wan stared at the man in front of her. The skies were bright and sunny, but she felt like she was standing in the middle of a frozen bloody ground, all of her limbs freezing from within her bones.

She blinked her dry eyes slightly as she stared at the handsome man. A bitterness laced her voice. “Then you can only wait for death?”

Ye Yanfeng looked up from Shangguan Wan’s neck. When he saw her red eyes, he smirked devilishly. “At first, I thought that I would die in the weaponry, but there was an underground passage unexpectedly. I had already prepared myself to make the sacrifice, but the Gods have allowed me to live a few more months, so I thought it was enough…”

Shangguan Wan interrupted him with a hoarse voice, a layer of bright tears covering her eyes. She held onto Ye Yanfeng’s arm tightly. “It’s not enough! You’re still so young, how can you leave all of us like this? There must still be a way, there must still be a way! Oh right, we can look for your father!’

Ye Yanfeng shook his head. “I betrayed him, he definitely wants me to die, so why would he save me? Although the base is ruined, there are still members who haven’t been caught yet. If they know that I’m alive, they would definitely put out an assassination order for me. Wanwan, just treat it like I have died. Don’t come and look for me anymore and don’t contact me again!”

Shangguan Wan’s lips trembled, her tears blurred her entire sight. “You really want me to leave?”

“What’s the use?” Ye Yanfeng stood up and looked at the seas under the cliff. He said with self-ridicule, “I had a concussion during the explosion, and a blood clot has formed in my head. I can lose my sight at any time. Shangguan Wan, I’m only a useless person now, why must you be with a useless person?”

Shangguan Wan’s breathing tightened, her fingernails sinking deep into her palms.

She looked into his eyes, which were sharp and cold, as if he wanted to burn a hole in her.

“The current me is not who I was in the past! You don’t have to waste your time on me anymore!” His hands clenched into tight fists, the veins on the back of his hands popping up as his knuckles paled.

Seeing his veins protruding, Shangguan Wan felt like her heart had been clenched tightly by an invisible black hand. It felt so painful she could barely breathe properly.

After a long while, she slowly gritted out. “Ye Yanfeng, don’t you think of my love as too superficial? Do you think I only love your eyes and would despise you after you lose your sight?”

Ye Yanfeng pursed his lips tightly and didn’t say anything.

Shangguan Wan stared at him with red eyes, no longer saying anything as she turned around to leave with large strides.

As Ye Yanfeng stared at her back, his shoulders sagged slowly. He had made her disappointed, hadn’t he? The current him didn’t even have any guarantee over his own life, so how would he support the skies for her?

Leaving him was the best choice for her.

Ye Yanfeng stood by the cliff for a very long time.

…

When he returned to the tents, Shangguan Wan could no longer be seen.

He didn’t know where Jing Ting went either.

Bailey was standing by the beach. When she saw that Ye Yanfeng had returned, she hurriedly ran towards him.

“Where’s Jing Ting?”

“He sent Miss Shangguan back to Ocean Island.”

Ye Yanfeng’s eyes darkened as he pursed his lips tightly, no longer saying anything. After all, he was the one who chased her away, so he couldn’t feel disappointed or regretful.

“Leave them be!”

Bailey stared as Ye Yanfeng entered the tent, and she hurriedly chased after him, saying softly, “Fifth Brother, Dr Jing said that he would be back later.”

Ye Yanfeng hummed hoarsely.

…

After about two hours, Ye Yanfeng heard Jing Ting’s and Bailey’s voices from outside.

“Dr Jing, you’re back…” Bailey didn’t finish speaking when another figure appeared from the cruise boat and she froze slightly.

Didn’t Dr Jing leave to send Shangguan Wan back to Ocean Island? Why was she here again?

Ye Yanfeng walked out from the tent. He didn’t notice Shangguan Wan, his eyes landing on Jing Ting. “Let’s pack up a little and get ready to leave.”

Jing Ting furrowed his eyebrows. “I plan to camp here overnight!”

Ye Yanfeng was about to say something when he noticed that something was wrong. He turned around and met Shangguan Wan’s pretty eyes.

Seeing her appear in front of him again, his heart thumped ruthlessly.

He was ultimately still unable to lie to herself. He craved for her warmth, feeling so much for her that he couldn’t control his feelings with his rationality anymore. All he wanted was for her to stay by his side and he craved for her crazily!

He was very selfish.

He knew that he didn’t have long to live anymore, and that him losing his sight might end up being her burden. But this time, he could let go of her hand again!

She asked for this! He had already made her leave time after time!

Since she dared to come back again, he would definitely be selfish until the end!

Ye Yanfeng strode out, walking towards Shangguan Wan with large and hurried strides. Just as he was about to approach her, his world suddenly spun.

He looked down, closing his eyes before he opened them again, everything turning dark around him.

He didn’t show his flusteredness on his face, using his memory to take a stride forward. He stretched his arms out, grabbing the woman’s arms before he pulled her into his arms with all his strength!
