Yandere Begs for a Break – Part Three

“Go notify the media to hold a press conference, saying that the head of the Yue family is critically ill and might not survive the week,” Yue Lin said flatly, interrupting him. 　　The butler was stunned: “How can you curse yourself? This might cause chaos in the group…” Suddenly remembering something, his voice abruptly stopped. 　　”She has feelings for me. When she hears this news, she will definitely come back to find me,” Yue Lin curled his lips, his eyes filled with the courage of a desperate gamble. 　　The butler’s eyes were full of tears. He was afraid Yue Lin would be disappointed, but at this critical moment, he couldn’t refuse. After a long pause, he finally agreed. 　　Yue Lin slightly stretched his neck, closed his eyes and lay down, whispering, “Am I too selfish to force her with my own life? She likes Yue Ze.” Everyone likes Yue Ze, otherwise they wouldn’t have chosen him. It’s just that he was born with a poor physique, forcing everyone to ‘favor’ him. 　　The butler looked at him with heartache, unable to speak, afraid that his emotions would collapse if he opened his mouth. Now that the young master was like this, he couldn’t fall apart. 　　”I just want her for one year. After a year, I’ll give her freedom. She can find anyone she wants,” Yue Lin said, then thought for a moment and softly laughed, “By then, I’ll give her the entire Yue family as a dowry, as a reward for accompanying me for so long. As for Yue Ze, he can do hard labor for her.” 　　The butler now agreed to everything he said. By the time he understood the meaning of his words, Yue Lin had already fallen asleep. 　　He stared at Yue Lin’s face for a long time, unable to come to his senses, never expecting he would indirectly hand over the Yue family to the second young master in this way… 　　That night, important media outlets across the country were reporting the news of the Yue family head being critically ill. Yue Ze turned off the TV expressionlessly and coldly told the fat man beside him, “From today, no TVs are allowed to be turned on in the inn.” 　　”Okay… Boss Yue, is Yue Lin really critically ill?” The fat man carefully looked at Yue Ze. Although he knew the brothers were not on good terms, now that he was critically ill, he was worried about Yue Ze. 　　Yue Ze gave him a cold glance: “Yue Lin? Even if he’s hanging by a thread, he’ll live longer than me. Releasing this news is just to trick Tao Yu into coming back.” 　　”That’s not right. Cursing oneself is a bit… especially for someone like him who’s already in poor health…” Under Yue Ze’s increasingly cold gaze, the fat man wisely turned his last sentence into a question. 　　Yue Ze let out a cold laugh and went back to his room without a word. The fat man stared at his back for a long time until Uncle An slapped him on the back. 　　”What are you looking at?” Uncle An asked with a smile. 　　The fat man said confusedly, “I feel like Boss Yue doesn’t seem very happy.” 　　Mentioning Yue Ze, Uncle An’s smile faded, and he sighed, “He’s been dealing with a lot lately and is in a bad mood. Don’t provoke him.” 　　”Oh… By the way, I heard that Zhou Ying has been restless recently. Should we send some people to keep an eye on him?” the fat man asked. 　　Uncle An thought for a moment: “No need. He’s been restless because the Yue family has been suppressing the Zhou family in business. It has nothing to do with us.” 　　”How could the Yue family suppress the Zhou family? Could it be because Zhou Ying provoked Boss Yue? Blood is thicker than water, after all,” the fat man sighed. 　　Uncle An gave him a sidelong glance: “What do you know? When Zhou Ying’s people came to kill the boss, they also implicated Young Master Yue Lin. That’s why they’re retaliating. Don’t overthink it, or the boss might beat you.” 　　The fat man touched his nose innocently: “But I feel like it’s not that simple…” He had a lot to say, but no one was listening to his analysis. He simply went out to eat at the night market. 　　After returning to his room, Yue Ze lay on the bed staring at the ceiling all night. The next morning, looking at his haggard face in the bathroom mirror, he felt momentarily dazed. 　　Knock knock knock! 　　Hearing the knocking, he instantly regained his senses, turned and opened the door to see Tao Yu entering with a bag of fried dough sticks: “Boss Yue, breakfast! I bought fried dough sticks and tofu pudding. I wanted to buy some buns, but I was too late…” 　　After putting down the bag, she turned around and saw the obvious dark circles under Yue Ze’s eyes, and was startled: “What’s wrong with you?” 　　Yue Ze stared intently at Tao Yu’s face, seeing her neat and beautiful appearance made his heart feel empty. After a while, he spoke: “Darling, let’s go abroad.” 　　”What?!” Tao Yu was shocked. 　　After saying those words, Yue Ze’s thoughts suddenly became clear. He smiled: “We’ll go abroad, to a peaceful and beautiful place. It’s not right to keep hiding in this small inn.” 　　”…Why did you suddenly think of this?” Tao Yu looked at him puzzled. 　　The smile on Yue Ze’s face faded slightly: “Don’t you like it? But I really want to go somewhere where no one knows us and start a new life.” 　　”…We can start a new life, but it’s not necessary to go abroad. We can go to a beautiful city too,” Tao Yu carefully suggested, as she privately didn’t want to be too far from here due to another personality. 　　While she was thinking of more persuasive reasons, Yue Ze walked up to her and whispered: “Let’s go out and try. If we can’t adapt, we’ll come back. This place is like a heart disease to me. If we don’t leave, I feel like this heart disease won’t get better.” 　　Tao Yu was stunned, looking at him in slight surprise. This was the first time he mentioned ‘heart disease’ to her. Perhaps he didn’t know what it meant, but she knew in her heart that this was the alternate personality instinctively seeking her help in extreme unease. At times like these, she only needed to— 　　”Okay, let’s go out and try,” Tao Yu smiled. 　　Yue Ze’s heart relaxed, and he couldn’t help but hold her in his arms. A big stone had fallen, but he didn’t feel particularly relieved. 　　The procedures for going abroad were faster than they imagined. At least when Tao Yu heard Yue Ze say he was going to start packing, she was still somewhat surprised.
