Hunting for Love for 101 Times

“Yes, you are still alive.” Overlapping his legs, the man rested one hand on the chair, and tucked Xia Nuan’s quilt softly with the other. His eyes were gentle and warm, but when he looked at someone, the coldness in his eyes couldn’t be underestimated.

Xia Nuan felt that she was familiar with the man. She might have seen him on TV before, but she couldn’t think of his name exactly.

She took over the water reticently and felt puzzled.

She remembered clearly that she was swallowed by fire. The extreme pain in the fire was so real.

“Ye Sichen wanted to burn you to death, but I saved you.” The man explained to her. However, his simple answer was like a knife that poked into her heart.

Ye Sichen wanted to burn her to death...

She felt extremely painful as she heard it.

A drop of tear dripped on the back of Xia Nuan’s hand, and another dropped into the cup.

Why did he treat her that way? Was he afraid that she would expose their unmentionable relationship? If she really wanted to do that, she wouldn’t lie that they were cousins before the media. She did everything for him...

“My name is Ye Enchen, Ye Sichen’s elder brother. He tried to burn you to death, but it was fortunate that I stopped him in time. This incident has been blocked by our family. I also hope that you won’t reveal it.” Ye Enchen looked at Xia Nuan with a pleading look, “Ye Sichen is cruel and mean. I don’t understand why he did this to you. But I won’t allow him to get his hands dirty because I am a member of Ye’s family. Anything related to the reputation of my family would be forbidden.”

Ye Enchen became angry as he said that.

Xia Nuan covered her chest sorely, and the tears fell from her eyes continuously.

Ye Sichen took a tissue to wipe her tears slowly, “It’s not worth grieving for such a man. What’s more, you are also a member of our family in name, so it’s my obligation to protect you.”

Xia Nuan looked at Ye Enchen gratefully, “Thank you, Mr. Enchen. But it’s time for me to leave.”

Although she was reborn, her heart had broken. Ye Sichen hurt her completely.

“Where are you going? You can’t leave yet. Since you are badly hurt, I have to transfer you to another hospital for treatment.” Ye Enchen said anxiously. Seeing that Xia Nuan was about to get up, he stopped her in a hurry.

“Xia Nuan, what if Sichen hurts you again? You are safer to live here with me. After all, I’m his elder brother. He won’t hurt me.” Ye Sichen persuaded her.

Xia Nuan shook her head, “Go ahead and let him kill me. I’m not afraid.”

“No, you can’t leave. We can talk about that after you are recovered.” Ye Enchen was determined to make her stay.

“Mr. Enchen, let me go. Everyone has unexcepted good or bad fortune. Even if I want to escape, where should I go? I am not afraid of anyone.” Xia Nuan said firmly in a courteous and confident manner.

Ye Enchen looked at Xia Nuan’s back far away and frowned. He was in a complicated feeling.

Xia Nuan stumbled out of Ye Enchen’s villa, but she saw several men in black were walking towards her from the thick jungle.

Xia Nuan gritted her teeth angrily.

What Ye Enchen said was right because Ye Sichen’s subordinates kept watching over her. The moment she left the house, those people would kidnap her again.

Xia Nuan pinched her hands and walked out of the villa fearlessly. She didn’t believe that they would attack her in broad daylight.

She walked on the avenue, and the men in black came from the opposite.

Xia Nuan walked straight ahead as if she didn’t see them.

When she passed by the men, they didn’t do anything to her, but went to Ye Enchen’s villa directly.

Having a bad foreboding suddenly, Xia Nuan followed them and turned back to the villa.

“Help! Someone is under attack!”

In the living room, there were the panic sounds of Ye Enchen’s servants in his villa.

Xia Nuan was nervous. She walked faster to the villa and found those in black who kept watching over her ran to the hall brazenly. Ye Enchen was knocked down on the ground and twisted together as a ball because of pain.

The servants in the villa didn’t dare to approach them and looked at the vicious men evilly because they had weapons.

“Master Enchen, you have disrupted Master Sichen’s plan. He won’t let you go easily. You’d better be careful.” A man in black held Ye Enchen’s collar arrogantly and gnashed his teeth in anger.

The man’s voice was familiar to Xia Nuan. Suddenly, she remembered that the man was the one who kidnapped her to the car and covered her eyes with the cloth that night! In other words, they kidnapped her that night and they were Ye Sichen’s subordinates.

“Stop it!” Xia Nuan rushed over. Then she stood in front of Ye Enchen and looked at them coldly, “You can take me away. Leave him alone.”

The man in black saw Xia Nuan and snickered, “Okay. I won’t bother him. But we will chop you into pieces as long as you leave the house. I know that you are not afraid of death. But Master Sichen said that we can make a perjury to put your death on Master Enchen.”

“You...” Xia Nuan couldn’t say anything for anger. She was totally annoyed, “Don’t be too arrogant. It’s a society ruled by law!”

“Hmm. How interesting!” A man in black played with the weapon in his hand and pointed at Xia Nuan, “What is the law? Master Sichen is. If you want to drag Master Enchen down as you die, I can fulfill your wish.”

Xia Nuan was trembling out of anger.

It turned out that Ye Sichen was really a cruel, evil and abnormal man!

Ye Enchen pinched the weapon in the man’s hand and pointed it at his forehead, “Don’t hurt the innocent. Tell Ye Sichen that Xia Nuan won’t leave from my house, but there is no way for him to hurt her again!”

The man in black took the weapon back swaggeringly, “If you dare to expose the details of the fire, Master Sichen would trouble you all the time.”

He made eye contact with others in black and evacuated from the villa.

Xia Nuan held Ye Enchen immediately and asked if he got hurt. Ye Enchen covered his chest for suffering from pain and frowned miserably.

The servant had prepared the towel for him. Xia Nuan wrung the towel dry to apply on his delicate chest.

There was a moment when Xia Nuan looked at his chest, she thought of Ye Sichen. His body shape was very similar to that of Ye Sichen...

Thinking of Ye Sichen, Xia Nuan felt the fierce pain once again. She didn’t understand why he was so vicious to her...

Suddenly, Ye Enchen put Xia Nuan’s hand on his chest and frowned uncomfortably, “I feel hurt in here. Please rub it for me. I feel hurt inside by them.”

Xia Nuan didn’t think too much and pressed on his bruised breast as he asked.

Ye Enchen looked at Xia Nuan. His thin lips couldn’t help but smile upward.

After a while, he sighed, “Xia Nuan, you’d better stay with me for your safety, because we are the only two who know that the fire was set by Ye Sichen. He made the mess in my house to force us to keep the secret. Hence, you can’t leave. Once you go, Ye Sichen’s subordinates would kill you for fearing that you might expose the truth and then frame your death to me.”

Xia Nuan sniffed and nodded for what Ye Enchen said. But the anger in her eyes covered up the sorrow, “Mr. Enchen, I won’t leave. You saved my life. I can’t let them do that to you.”

Ye Enchen held her hand tightly, “Xia Nuan, I will protect you, and you can rest assured. After all, I am his elder brother. As long as you are here, I’m safe.”

Xia Nuan stayed with Ye Enchen and buried the truth of the fire as a secret. Both of them didn’t mention the fire any more.

Since Xia Nuan didn’t want to drag Song Kuncheng down, she called him and said that she worked in Modu City and was busy recently. Then she asked Song Kuncheng not to call her frequently. Song Kuncheng hadn’t seen Xia Nuan for a long time, but he was relieved to get her call.

“Kun, has anyone been bothering you lately?” She was afraid that Ye Sichen would trouble Song Kuncheng.

“No, I am fine. Don’t worry about me. I am relieved when you told me that you are safe. By the way, have you heard the news about Ye Sichen? I heard that he will hold a concert tour, but nothing new was reported. Someone said that he was dead.” Song Kuncheng lowered his voice.

Xia Nuan was stunned and calmed herself down, “I am not clear about it. I’m in another city and haven’t been in touch with him.”

Xia Nuan hung up the phone after talking some trivial affairs with him.

Her feeling was complicated. Ye Sichen’s figure would appear in her mind each time she closed her eyes.

The intense pain spread throughout her heart. She embraced her arms with a sad face.

She would open a wine to celebrate if the vicious man really died!

“Xia Nuan, I got you a job as a designer. Since you major is design, it should be very suitable for you.” Holding a file, Ye Enchen came over and sat on the sofa elegantly to greet Xia Nuan to his side.

Xia Nua walked over slowly and sat down, “I really should hunt for a job.”

“How about going to Shangzhuang to design for the model technically?” Ye Enchen asked for her advice.

Shangzhuang was a brand of the most famous brand in the world. Xia Nuan used to be invited as a chief designer by Shangzhuang when she worked for Ye Sichen as his costume designer, but it was rejected by Ye Sichen at that time.

“But I am not qualified of it and I need to improve myself.”

Xia Nuan didn’t have confidence at all in her works.

She remembered Uncle Xiang’s words. He said that her mediocre design could appear at the top of the list only because of Ye Sichen’s help.

She wanted to do design by herself without Ye Sichen’s reputation. Moreover, she was sad when she thought of Ye Sichen every time.

She wished that she would never see him again.

“I believe you can do better.” Ye Enchen encouraged her.

However, when Xia Nuan was going to work in Shangzhuang, Helen looked for her and wanted to hire her as a chief designer with high salary.

Given that Helen and Ye Sichen worked together before, Xia Nuan refused her euphemistically and continued to stay in Shangzhuang.

Xia Nuan worked in Modu City and tried to forget everything happened in Feicheng City. However, there were overwhelming news about Ye Sichen, so it was difficult for her to forget him.

“Have you heard the news? I heard that Ye Sichen has been treated in the hospital all the time. There’s no clue about his disease. Nobody is allowed to see him, even his wife, Luo Dai’er.”

“How strange! The official announcement said that Ye Sichen was in rehearsal at the beginning, but several fans who went to the rehearsal venue that day said that they didn’t find Ye Sichen at all.”

“Some people said that he was dead. I wish that was just be a rumor.”

In Shangzhuang, the well-known designers discussed together about Ye Sichen.

Xia Nuan pretended to be indifferent to hear that.
