Chapter 51: Love Is a Ray of Light, So Green It Makes You Panic At the Imperial Capital Hospital, Steven pushed open the door and entered. “Another piece of bad news?” Ye Bai didn’t even look at Steven. Since his hospitalization, every visit from Steven had brought nothing but bad news. “Well …” Steven looked embarrassed. He didn’t want this either. Who could have predicted that after returning to China, they’d be plagued with such bad luck, with things going wrong left and right? “Spit it out. What’s the bad news this time?” Ye Bai didn’t dwell on it. By now, his heart had developed a strong tolerance for bad news. How much worse could it get? “Boss, you’d better see for yourself.” Steven, even more embarrassed, handed his phone to Ye Bai. Love is a ray of light, so green it makes you panic. The more Steven looked at Ye Bai, the more he felt Ye Bai’s hair exuded a healthy, vibrant springtime glow. “Charlotte?” Ye Bai took the phone. The video on the screen showed the bar counter at Heaven on Earth. Though it was just a silhouette, Ye Bai instantly recognized the person sitting there as Charlotte. He had noticed the blossoming princess during his business trips to Britain to negotiate with the queen. From the first moment he saw Charlotte, a strong sense of possessiveness had taken root in his heart. He hadn’t expected the opportunity to come so quickly—Charlotte had come to China alone. If it was about Charlotte, what bad news could there be? Surely it wasn’t that some other man had hit on her? Ye Bai shook his head. He recalled the first time he met Charlotte in Britain. As a British princess, Charlotte’s attitude toward him wasn’t exactly warm—just barely passable. She was generally cold as ice toward other men, maintaining her noble demeanor. Ye Bai had personally witnessed how reserved Charlotte was. For an ordinary man to get close to her was nothing short of a pipe dream. The video began to play. Charlotte sat alone at the bar, her expression melancholic, sipping red wine. Her beauty was flawless from every angle, like a delicate porcelain doll. Her current melancholic aura made Ye Bai want to rush to Heaven on Earth immediately to comfort her. As the video continued, a man’s figure entered Ye Bai’s view. Watching the man’s casual steps, Ye Bai felt an unexpected sense of familiarity, as if he had seen him somewhere before. “Isn’t that Lin Tai?” Ye Bai immediately recognized the man in the video as Lin Tai. In the footage, Lin Tai approached Charlotte step by step, casually placing a hand on her shoulder. “Doesn’t this loser know Charlotte is a royal princess?” Ye Bai sneered. He knew Charlotte despised men touching her body, even just her shoulder. The most likely outcome was that she’d dislocate Lin Tai’s arm. Despite her delicate appearance, Charlotte’s methods were no less ruthless than her mother’s—she was, after all, trained by the queen herself. Ye Bai could already picture Lin Tai getting taken down by Charlotte. What kind of bad news was this? Lin Tai getting beaten up? Ye Bai couldn’t be happier. The video continued. Lin Tai, with his hand on Charlotte’s shoulder, opened with a line: “Hello, let’s get acquainted …” Hearing this straight-guy pickup line, Ye Bai scoffed. As if Charlotte would give Lin Tai the time of day. But the next second, it was like a slap in the face. Charlotte looked at Lin Tai, quickly stood up, blocked his path, and asked for his name. In that moment, Ye Bai was stunned! The aloof Charlotte he had imagined wasn’t aloof at all. Instead, she was acting like a lovestruck girl, pestering Lin Tai for his contact information. This was completely unlike Charlotte’s usual behavior! Impossible! Absolutely impossible! This made Ye Bai wonder if Charlotte had some ulterior motive. But the facts proved he was overthinking it. In the video, Charlotte not only introduced herself but also proactively suggested they become friends! And then … Lin Tai actually put his arm around her waist! Seeing this, Ye Bai felt a surge of blood rush to his head. Charlotte was his woman! Now he understood why Steven looked so awkward. He had been cuckolded again! Starting with Xia Shihan, every woman he had his sights on was cuckolding him! “No, something’s wrong. Charlotte can’t be this frivolous. She’s a British royal princess! She must be doing this to get my attention!” Ye Bai’s mind raced, and he quickly came up with the same reasoning as Lin Tai. There was no other explanation—it was too absurd. Charlotte couldn’t possibly know Lin Tai, let alone fall for him at first sight. If anyone was going to be the object of her affection, it would surely be him. Ye Bai believed he was in no way inferior to Lin Tai. In Europe, Ye Bai’s status was something Charlotte was well aware of. Compared to a loser like Lin Tai, he was leagues better in every way—looks included. There was no reason for her to like Lin Tai over him. The only possible explanation was that Charlotte was putting on a show for him. With her intelligence, she must know he had people watching her, so she was doing this for him to see. That had to be it! But the next scene completely shattered Ye Bai’s worldview. In the video, Lin Tai lightly placed his arm around Charlotte’s waist, but it was clear to anyone watching that he wasn’t actually touching her—he was keeping some distance, maintaining restraint. And Charlotte? With a blissful expression, she pressed Lin Tai’s hand onto her waist! “Boss!” Steven exclaimed as Ye Bai fainted. Fortunately, Steven was experienced and quickly pinched Ye Bai’s philtrum, reviving him. “Kill him! Have Xila kill Lin Tai at all costs. I want him dead!” Ye Bai couldn’t take it anymore. Lin Tai, Lin Tai, always Lin Tai! Every time he showed up, those women acted like they were possessed! Now, Ye Bai didn’t care about lists or plans. His mind was consumed with one thought: Lin Tai had to die! He couldn’t stand it any longer!
