Chapter 256: Chapter 0256: Ye Xunhuan, You Madman
After witnessing Qiu Ruoxi’s actions, Ye Xunhuan was stunned, his face showing sheer disbelief as if he’d seen a ghost in broad daylight.
What on earth was Qiu Ruoxi up to today? Had she missed her medication?
Ye Xunhuan’s face was filled with caution.
Something was definitely off when things didn’t follow the norm, and he wouldn’t believe there wasn’t something strange behind Qiu Ruoxi’s odd behavior even if it killed him.
"Honey, are you sure you’re not feeling..."
Before Ye Xunhuan could finish, Qiu Ruoxi cut in, "Husband, don’t you want to go watch a movie with me?"
Ye Xunhuan was utterly dumbfounded. What... what is this all about?
Right then, Xiahou Yutong appeared suddenly in the living room from nowhere, softly speaking, "Xunhuan, I’ve noticed you and Ruoxi seldom go out together after work, even when you come home early. Your father and I decided to buy you both a movie ticket. Why don’t you two go and enjoy a movie together?"
"It’ll strengthen your relationship." Xiahou Yutong’s face was beaming with a thick smile: "Young people should go out, watch a movie, shop around, and such!"
Hearing Xiahou Yutong’s words, Ye Xunhuan suddenly realized it was his mother-in-law and father-in-law’s idea, no wonder Qiu Ruoxi acted so out of character!
"Husband, let’s go watch a movie together. It’s been so long since you’ve taken me to one. All you do is hang out with your boisterous friends, drinking. You don’t even bring me roses anymore!" Qiu Ruoxi looked reproachfully at Ye Xunhuan.
Ye Xunhuan’s mouth twitched fiercely.
He thought he could act as convincingly as those Oscar-winning actors, but now he realized Qiu Ruoxi was no worse than him when it came to performing.
No wonder they say that a woman is the world’s best actor when she chooses to perform!
Just look at Qiu Ruoxi’s expression, listen to the tone of her complaints; it’s as if he really used to take her to the movies, as if he had actually been inside a movie theater before!
"Ruoxi, don’t complain about Xunhuan. After all, he needs to network with friends. It’s good to have many friends—they might come in handy one day!"
Unaware of the actual situation, Xiahou Yutong began making excuses for Ye Xunhuan.
Upon hearing Xiahou Yutong’s words, Ye Xunhuan was deeply moved—she would definitely win if there were a Best Mother-In-Law award!
"Wife, I’m sorry for neglecting you!" Ye Xunhuan reached out and wrapped his arms around Qiu Ruoxi’s slender waist, speaking with deep affection, "I won’t do it anymore. I’ll take you to the movies and shopping whenever you want!"
Being embraced by Ye Xunhuan, Qiu Ruoxi felt quite uneasy, especially with Ye Xunhuan’s roving hands.
She wished she could slap away the hand he had placed on her waist, but she knew that was impossible.
If she did that, all her acting would have been for naught.
Qiu Ruoxi huffed, "Men are all talk. I don’t believe a word you say, not unless you actually do it!"
"I will!"
"Alright, alright, get going now, stop dawdling!"
Xiahou Yutong’s smile grew even broader.
In her eyes, the relationship between Qiu Ruoxi and Ye Xunhuan was truly excellent, borderline inseparable.
Urged by Xiahou Yutong, Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi left the villa and drove away.
Once they left the villa, Qiu Ruoxi took a deep breath!
"Wife, I didn’t realize you had such good acting skills!"
"Nonsense, plenty of talent scouts wanted to discover me back in the day, to make me an actress!"
"So why didn’t you go?"
"Didn’t want to!"
"Don’t you mean you didn’t dare?" Ye Xunhuan disdainfully said, "With your subpar acting skills, if you really pursued acting, you would probably only land roles like a maid."
"You’re just afraid of being disappointed..."
"Ye Xunhuan, are you saying my acting sucks?"
"You’re such a great actor, go win an Oscar for Best Actress!"
"And why don’t you go win an Oscar for Best Actor?"
"It’s not like any talent scout has taken a shine to me." Ye Xunhuan said sarcastically, "But it’s different for you, since talent scouts are looking for you..."
"Ye Xunhuan, are you looking down on me?"
"Not at all, you’re my wife, how could I possibly look down on you?"
"Then what do you mean?"
"It’s simple, those talent scouts are actually attracted to your beauty, they want to sleep with you!" Ye Xunhuan said contemptuously, curling his lips: "You actually believed that talent scouts want you to act and become a big star!"
"If you didn’t have some looks, only a fool would hire a block of ice like you for acting!"
"Ye Xunhuan, I’m going to kill you!"
As she spoke, Qiu Ruoxi immediately reached out from the passenger seat, trying to strangle Ye Xunhuan’s neck!
"Hey...hey, stop messing around, I’m driving!" Ye Xunhuan, with one hand on the steering wheel, used the other to fend off Qiu Ruoxi’s attack: "Continue like this and someone’s going to get killed!"
"I don’t want to die with you, it’s no big deal if you die, but if I die, so many women will lose their happiness..."
"If you die, I’d be doing a public service, preventing you from harming other women!"
"Qiu Ruoxi, don’t go too far!"
"Fuck, if you keep this up we’re really going to crash!"
Qiu Ruoxi was utterly relentless: "I’m willing to face any danger just to drag scum like you to hell!"
No sooner had Qiu Ruoxi’s words fallen, than Ye Xunhuan’s left hand swiftly turned the steering wheel, causing the car to skid sharply, bouncing Qiu Ruoxi back into her seat.
"Ye Xunhuan, you..."
"Stop playing, our deaths wouldn’t matter much, but if we hurt others, that would be pretty immoral. If you keep this up, believe me or not, I’ll take us onto the overpass and crash straight off it, leading to a fatal accident!"
"If you don’t crash, you’re not a man!"
"And what if you stop me?"
"In your dreams!"
"What if I do stop you!"
"Then I’m all yours to handle!"
"Fine, just you wait!"
With that, Ye Xunhuan slammed on the accelerator and the car shot forward like an arrow off its string, quickly getting onto the overpass.
But the speed didn’t decrease, Ye Xunhuan kept overtaking, not slowing down even for the curves. The car, like a steel monster, hurtled towards the obstacles ahead.
Qiu Ruoxi had felt very calm inside, but at this moment, her heart rose to her throat, and her pretty face turned pale.
It’s close, the distance to the barriers ahead was getting closer.
Four hundred meters!
Three hundred meters!
Two hundred meters!
Ye Xunhuan still showed no sign of slowing down, as if he was determined to crash.
Finally, Qiu Ruoxi couldn’t stand it anymore and screamed uncontrollably: "Ye Xunhuan, you maniac, maniac..."
"Step on the brakes, step on the brakes..."
At that moment, Qiu Ruoxi was completely panicked!
