Chapter 143: Chapter 0143: Are You Going to Breach the Contract?
Ye Xunhuan was dumbfounded. It was just a trip to Qiu Ruoxi’s office, so what was the big deal? Yet, Zhao Changsong and You Minhao were saying that he had offended Qiu Ruoxi and that he should be careful with his words when he spoke, not to be too defiant.
When it was time to bow one’s head, one should bow. And what did they mean saying bowing to Qiu Ruoxi wasn’t shameful? Was he such a spineless man?
Bow to that damned woman.
Mei Hanqing simply wished Ye Xunhuan good luck, making Ye Xunhuan himself feel as if he had become Jing Ke on a mission to assassinate the emperor of Qin!
And Tang Yurou was even more worried to death, which left Ye Xunhuan speechless. Qiu Ruoxi wasn’t a tigress, for heaven’s sake; she surely couldn’t devour him.
In that suppressed and solemn atmosphere full of anger, Ye Xunhuan marched to Qiu Ruoxi’s office as if he was Jing Ke thousands of years ago, on his way to stab the ruler of Qin.
Upon arriving at Qiu Ruoxi’s office, Ye Xunhuan made himself at home, plopping down on the sofa before lighting up a cigarette. He took a light puff and then drawled, "Wife, why did you call me up here?"
"Ye Xunhuan, this place..."
Before Qiu Ruoxi could finish, Ye Xunhuan interrupted her, "This is a company, not home. Please remember your status and influence!"
"You know that, so why still..."
"This place has no outsiders right now, and besides, what’s the difference between the company and our home? You’re the owner of both, and I have a share in it too. Even if we divorce later, you know, I own half of the stuff here." Ye Xunhuan said indifferently, "That includes half of the chair you’re sitting on!"
"You..."
"Call it marital property. The courts will divide it!", Ye Xunhuan said with some disdain. "A high achiever like you doesn’t even know this basic fact? What kind of school did you attend?"
"I..."
"Alright, out with it. What did you really want to see me for?" Ye Xunhuan interrupted Qiu Ruoxi again. "If it’s nothing, I’ll be going back now, I’m quite busy!"
Qiu Ruoxi was trembling all over from being constantly interrupted by Ye Xunhuan. Her immaculate and flawless face was completely wrapped in a layer of frost, while her eyes turned into sharp blades of ice, aiming straight for Ye Xunhuan’s heart.
If looks could kill, Ye Xunhuan would have died hundreds of times over in that moment.
Qiu Ruoxi took a deep breath, telling herself not to get angry, to not stoop to the level of that bastard.
After implementing the spiritual comforting method of Ah Q*, Qiu Ruoxi gradually calmed down. "When did you get out of the police station?"
"Eight or nine o’clock."
"Why didn’t you come home?"
"I went to celebrate with friends." Ye Xunhuan’s tone was neither salty nor bland, "I got too drunk, then I didn’t go back."
"And you couldn’t give me a call?" Qiu Ruoxi said through clenched teeth, her fists balled up tight.
This bastard, she had worried about him the whole night, and her parents had been looking for him, but this bastard had gotten out early and didn’t even bother to call, opting to go out partying instead.
"I did call..."
"You called?"
"Yeah!" Ye Xunhuan said with a very serious and innocent look. "I found your number, dialed it, but then my phone suddenly told me the battery was low, and then it went black!"
"Bang!"
Qiu Ruoxi couldn’t stand it any longer and slammed her hand down hard on the desk, "Ye Xunhuan, you..."
"Wife, does your hand hurt?"
Ye Xunhuan might have been better off not saying anything because as soon as he did, Qiu Ruoxi suddenly felt a sour pain in her palm.
Qiu Ruoxi glared at Ye Xunhuan with a look that could devour someone alive, "Ye Xunhuan, you bastard, I warn you, do not test my patience over and over!"
"Then tell me where your limit is, so next time I’ll try not to cross it!"
Qiu Ruoxi snorted heavily, "Then why couldn’t you borrow a phone to call?"
"I did borrow one!"
"You did?"
"Of course!" Ye Xunhuan declared confidently, "I borrowed one, and just as I was about to enter the number, I suddenly thought, what’s your phone number again...?"
Qiu Ruoxi’s face immediately darkened, and her breathing became somewhat rapid at that moment, "You mean you didn’t remember my number?"
"Isn’t that obvious!" Ye Xunhuan said matter-of-factly, "Such a long string of numbers, how could I possibly remember..."
"If it was a bank card number..."
"I wouldn’t remember that either, but I would definitely remember the password!"
"Ye Xunhuan, you... you can go die!"
With that, Qiu Ruoxi grabbed the water cup from her desk and hurled it fiercely at Ye Xunhuan. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
She couldn’t hold back any longer, Ye Xunhuan was really too infuriating, too bullying.
"Smack!"
Ye Xunhuan caught the water cup with ease and said with a grin, "Wife, how did you know I was thirsty..."
Then Ye Xunhuan stood up and went to refill the cup for himself.
"That’s my cup..."
"No worries, I don’t mind your germs!"
With that, Ye Xunhuan took a sip from the cup.
Qiu Ruoxi was so angry with Ye Xunhuan that she was fuming with rage, but she had no way to deal with him.
She couldn’t physically confront him, his martial skills were too good, not an equal match at all, and when it came to arguing, his mouth was too sharp; she couldn’t come up with a retort he couldn’t counter or reason out of.
For a moment, an unprecedented sense of defeat began to creep over Qiu Ruoxi’s heart.
She was sure she could handle the difficult and picky clients or partners, but she just couldn’t manage her own husband. This sense of defeat forced Qiu Ruoxi to start doubting her life!
Taking a deep breath, Qiu Ruoxi pulled herself back from the brink of exploding, "Fine, let’s not talk about this any longer!"
"What, is there something else you want to tell me?"
"Yes!" Qiu Ruoxi said emphatically, "What exactly is going on between you and Tang Yurou?"
"Didn’t I tell you? I plan to find an opportunity to make Tang Yurou my main squeeze and kick you to the curb!"
"You... you..." Qiu Ruoxi struggled to control her emotions, "I meant the wedding banquet..."
"Oh, that. I’m planning to host a feast with Yu Rou and collect some red envelopes. You’ll come to support us too, right..."
"You jerk, do you even have your wife in your eyes!"
"Look at what you’re saying, how could I not!" Ye Xunhuan said earnestly, "Take a good look, look closely, aren’t you in my eyes!"
"You... I..."
Qiu Ruoxi was so vexed by Ye Xunhuan that she had no idea what to say.
"Wife, in our marital agreement article sixteen, sub-clause seven, it states that you can’t stop me from finding other women outside, granting me absolute freedom, and I also grant you absolute freedom," Ye Xunhuan said with a smile, "So, are you planning to break the contract now?"
