Chapter 170: Chapter 0170: Ye Xunhuan, You Bastard
"Oh, I wonder why Mrs. Mu has come!" Chu Ji said with a sarcastic tone, "Is she here to seek revenge for her man?"
Chu Ji emphasized the words "Mrs. Mu" heavily!
Su Guyan’s delicate body trembled slightly, her expression also subtly changed, filled with an indescribable bitterness in her heart.
Indeed, she was now Mu Tiange’s wife, at least on the surface!
"Chu Ji, I know you have grievances against me," Su Guyan pursed her lips and said, "But I want to talk to Xunhuan, can you..."
"Why should I?" Chu Ji snorted coldly, "Do you think it’s still the past?"
As she spoke, Chu Ji called out "Mrs. Mu" again while also clinging to Ye Xunhuan’s arm, with a proud and smug look.
Su Guyan took in this scene, her heart twisting like a knife had been thrust into it, and her face turned pale.
Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan glanced at Chu Ji, "Class monitor, we can talk later!"
After hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Chu Ji felt a surge of disappointment inside her. Although she was already married, perhaps she still held a place in Ye Xunhuan’s heart, right?
But then again, how could he easily forget the love he once had so deeply?
"Xunhuan, you must remember who betrayed you!" Chu Ji said emphatically, "Don’t be deceived by some people’s appearance!"
After her words fell, Chu Ji turned and walked to the side, leaving space for Ye Xunhuan and Su Guyan.
"I’m sorry for what happened today, I truly didn’t know..."
Before Su Guyan could finish speaking, Ye Xunhuan interrupted her, "It’s nothing, he didn’t get the better of me!"
"Xunhuan, I..."
"I don’t blame you," Ye Xunhuan seemed to see through Su Guyan’s thoughts and cut her off again, "You are his wife, I can understand your position."
You are his wife!
These six words pierced her heart like a sword, each one dripping with blood, and yet she could not explain anything.
"Besides, I should be the one apologizing to you—I almost made it difficult for you to get off stage!"
Taking a deep breath, Su Guyan composed herself and said, "Xunhuan, he won’t let this go, you..."
"I know!" Ye Xunhuan took a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and started smoking, "But I’m not someone easy to bully."
"Xunhuan, you really don’t know what kind of person Mu Tiange is, he... he..."
"Don’t worry, I have a handle on it!" Ye Xunhuan smiled and said, "In Jiangzhong City, as long as I don’t want to die, nobody can take my life!"
Ye Xunhuan was not bragging, but stating facts, and he did so very diplomatically.
As a marshal, even without the Qin family, it was not simple for someone to take his life.
"I see that your relationship doesn’t seem to be very good?"
Ye Xunhuan had observed Mu Tiange’s attitude toward Su Guyan, and from Su Guyan’s eyes, he could read that her relationship with Mu Tiange was nothing but a marital façade!
Su Guyan gave a bitter smile. How could her relationship with Mu Tiange be good?
He was a pervert!
"If you need any help with anything, just let me know."
No matter whether she had betrayed him in the past, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t be cruel enough to watch her suffer or to ignore her plight.
Because she was a thorn in his heart, one that could never be removed, untouchable, lest it cause a dull ache.
"Alright, it’s getting late, I should head back now. You should go back early too!" Su Guyan took a deep breath and said.
"Goodbye!"
"Goodbye!"
Su Guyan then turned and left. It wasn’t that she wanted to leave, but she feared she couldn’t help telling Ye Xunhuan everything if she kept looking at him.
But she knew that telling Ye Xunhuan could further provoke Mu Tiange, making the madman go to any lengths to kill Ye Xunhuan.
At the same time, Su Guyan also knew that Mu Tiange wouldn’t let Ye Xunhuan off this time either.
However, she had made up her mind that no matter what, she would not let Mu Tiange harm Ye Xunhuan in the slightest.
She would exhaust her lifetime for a single night’s mirth dedicated to her lord!
Gazing at Su Guyan’s retreating figure, Ye Xunhuan’s lips bore a trace of bitterness and a hint of desolation.
At that moment, Chu Ji walked over, "Still staring? Your eyes are about to fall out."
A look of embarrassment surfaced on Ye Xunhuan’s face.
"Ye Xunhuan, not that I want to criticize you, but tell me, what’s so good about her?" Chu Ji asked indignantly, "How did you treat her back then, and look how she treats you now?"
"It’s all in the past, don’t mention it!"
"You..."
"Chu Ji, promise me you won’t be too hard on her!"
Chu Ji was about to refuse, but after seeing the pleading look in Ye Xunhuan’s eyes, she gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, I promise you, I’ll keep my mouth shut if I run into her."
"Thank you!"
"You never used to be this polite to me."
"You weren’t this pretty before either!"
"Ye Xunhuan, you bastard, how dare you say I wasn’t pretty?"
"Dare you say you were pretty back then?" Ye Xunhuan said with a chuckle, "You were just like a little witch!"
"You... You’re the witch!"
"I’m a man!"
"You’re the Witch King!"
Ye Xunhuan was speechless; women truly were creatures that couldn’t stand to be at the slightest disadvantage.
After a brief bout of teasing and bickering, Chu Ji looked at Ye Xunhuan and asked, "What are you really doing in Jiangzhong City anyway? That Mr. Zhao seemed quite the gentleman, obviously no ordinary person!"
"Just the son of an official," Ye Xunhuan replied calmly, "Why, do you like him? Want me to set you up?"
"Get lost!" Chu Ji gave Ye Xunhuan a nudge that wasn’t too gentle nor too rough.
"Alright, class leader, I’ll stop teasing. I have to go back now!" Ye Xunhuan spoke softly, "Let’s catch up some other day!"
"Leaving so soon?" Chu Ji said with a touch of disappointment.
All these years, friends and classmates around her had married or found love, yet she always remained alone.
She had been waiting for someone, waiting for a conclusion that might never come.
Now that she had met this person who might not have an ending, she didn’t want to part in haste.
"If it were before, it would indeed be early, but now I really must go back, or the person at home is probably going to be mad again."
"You... You really have a girlfriend?"
"Wrong, I got married!"
"Ah!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"You got married?"
"Yes!"
"Who’s blind enough to fancy you?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xunhuan became displeased, "What do you mean blind? With my handsomeness and talent, how could nobody fancy me!"
"And you, why aren’t you married yet? Couldn’t be that you’re really waiting for me, right?"
"Yes, indeed, this young lady has been waiting for you, but sadly, you’re married now!" Chu Ji said in a mockingly frivolous tone, "We’re doomed to be star-crossed!"
"You look quite good now, presentable enough; how about becoming my mistress?" Ye Xunhuan teased.
"Ye Xunhuan, you scoundrel, I’m going to fight you!"
