Chapter 359: Chapter 0359 Qiu Ruoxi Gets Angry
Qiu Ruoxi’s flawless melon-seed face was covered in cold frost, while her bright eyes, bright as the moon, were also like icy blades, filled with chill.
Ye Xunhuan did not leave but grinned thick-skinned, "Wife, are you angry?"
"I told you to get out, didn’t you hear!"
"Wife, don’t be angry!" Ye Xunhuan chuckled, "Tonight I still want to hold you in my sleep ..."
"You ..."
"Wife, I was wrong!" Upon seeing Qiu Ruoxi about to burst into anger, Ye Xunhuan quickly lowered his head, like a child who had made a mistake, his hands also clutched together, appearing very nervous.
Seeing this posture of Ye Xunhuan, Qiu Ruoxi was both irritated and amused, but also wondered, could this scoundrel be pulling out his acting skills, comparable to that of an award-winning actor, again?
Qiu Ruoxi snorted coldly, "What wrong could you, Young Master Ye, possibly have? It’s all the little woman’s fault, shouldn’t have yelled at you!"
"Young Master Ye, please take a seat, this little woman will go make you a cup of tea ..."
With that, Qiu Ruoxi tried to rise from her chair, letting Ye Xunhuan sit.
Ye Xunhuan hurriedly shook his head, "Wife, I really was wrong this time!"
He could not believe that this woman would make tea for him; it was more likely the other way around.
"Were you wrong?"
"Yes!"
"Say it yourself!"
"I shouldn’t have clashed with Qi Shijie and made him kneel!" Ye Xunhuan, who was not a fool, guessed the trouble Qiu Ruoxi was talking about from what Wang Ma had said.
Today, besides the clash with Qi Shijie, there really wasn’t anyone else he had issues with.
"But that really wasn’t my fault either. He insisted on betting with me. I didn’t want to, but he forced me. I had no choice but to take the bet, and when he lost, that wasn’t my fault, was it?" Ye Xunhuan’s voice suddenly changed, "Furthermore, it wasn’t me who made him kneel; it was Dongfang Shu!"
Not mentioning Dongfang Shu would have been better, but as soon as Ye Xunhuan did, Qiu Ruoxi grew even more infuriated.
The whole city of Jiangzhong was abuzz, with rumors that Ye Xunhuan was Dongfang Shu’s bedfellow, the king of her bed, and that the two had long been intimate ...
Just thinking about this sent a nameless rage surging in Qiu Ruoxi’s heart, impossible to suppress.
Even she didn’t know why, as soon as she heard or thought about Ye Xunhuan and Dongfang Shu together in bed, she grew indignant, feeling uncomfortable inside.
"You... you still think you’re right?"
"What else, should I have lost and knelt down for him?" Ye Xunhuan said lightly, "I might not mind, but what if it gets out that Qiu Ruoxi’s husband knelt down to someone—that wouldn’t hurt your pride?"
Qiu Ruoxi took a deep breath, pressing the anger in her heart, and truth be told, she really hadn’t taken the matter of Qi Shijie kneeling too seriously.
What could Qi Shijie do, and what could his mother, Qi Jieyu, do?
I am a distinguished entrepreneur myself; competing with them, it’s not certain who would lose or win!
Besides, over the years, Qi Jieyu had made who knows how many enemies.
What she was really upset about was the relationship between Ye Xunhuan and Dongfang Shu.
"Fine, let’s not talk about the kneeling. Qi Shijie deserved it!" Qiu Ruoxi said firmly, "Do you not understand that Dongfang Shu is trying to sell you out?"
"Her?"
"Ye Xunhuan, what did I tell you last time?"
"Dongfang Shu is a beautiful yet dangerous widow!"
"Right, she is a very dangerous woman, and she and Qi Shijie’s mother, Qi Jieyu ..."
"Jieyu?" 𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑝𝘶𝘣.𝑐𝘰𝘮
"What’s up?"
"Damn, they can’t be sisters, right? One is a Lady, the other a Noble Consort, both are the Emperor’s wives, ah, speaking of wives, is a Lady higher or a Noble Consort higher, it should be the Lady, right..."
Qiu Ruoxi’s eyebrows immediately furrowed, and at the same time, her face began to look a bit ugly.
This jerk, what timing, and he’s still stuck on this issue!
"Ye Xunhuan..."
"Wife, you say!" Ye Xunhuan hurriedly spoke up.
"Dongfang Shu and Qi Jieyu are friends, at least on the surface. Now she’s helping you by making Qi Shijie kneel, is she really that kind-hearted?"
"So what you’re saying is..."
"She’s sold you out and you don’t even know!" Qiu Ruoxi said with a look of frustration at Ye Xunhuan, "Others are friends, at least outwardly, but you..."
"I’m your husband, ah!"
"You... you..."
"Wife, don’t be mad..."
"From now on, you keep your mouth shut, not a single word."
"Okay!"
Qiu Ruoxi took a deep breath and said, "Dongfang Shu is very cunning. Since Dongfang Shu is acting this way now, there must be a reason that her and Qi Jieyu’s relationship has soured, and it’s beyond repair!"
"When these two women rival each other, neither wants to be the first to break face or find the right opportunity. Yet here you are, foolishly presenting yourself on a platter! Tell me, do you think they would let you go?"
Qiu Ruoxi indeed is a rising star in the business world, able to analyze the pros and cons based merely on rumors and hearsay.
Having such intelligence, it’s clear how Qiu Ruoxi has led the Imperial Charts Group to its status today, which is no coincidence!
"Dongfang Shu is using you to test Qi Jieyu’s limits, and perhaps even Qi Shijie’s reaction. You fool, completely becoming someone else’s pawn, and you don’t even know it. You’re so pleased with yourself, thinking you’ve outsmarted Qi Shijie, making him kneel..."
Upon hearing Qiu Ruoxi’s words, Ye Xunhuan’s expression darkened slightly. Regarding the relationship between Dongfang Shu and Qi Jieyu, he truly hadn’t thought that much, but he could guess it was about their mutual interests.
Yet he hadn’t expected there to be deeper waters still!
No wonder Dongfang Shu agreed without hesitation; he actually thought he had tricked her, but it turned out she was the one who had tricked him!
Damn, why are these women each so cunning, with schemes piling on schemes?
What can schemes do in the face of absolute power? All will be ground to dust!
"Say something, why aren’t you speaking!"
"You told me not to speak!"
Qiu Ruoxi’s body trembled impatiently: "I’m telling you to speak now!"
"Wife, I didn’t know about this, I don’t understand them..."
"Didn’t I tell you last time to stay away from Dongfang Shu, really far away? And what did you do? You actually thought she fancied you, wanted you in her bed?" Qiu Ruoxi rebuked harshly, "Don’t even look at what you are..."
"If she dares let me into her bed, I, ’little brother’, promise she won’t be able to get out of bed..." Ye Xunhuan confidently declared, "Wife, rest assured, I’ll play her and then withdraw, and come back to live well with you!"
"Live well my ass, you’re enraging me to death!"
As she spoke, Qiu Ruoxi grabbed a laptop nearby and hurled it at Ye Xunhuan.
This jerk, still thinking about climbing into Dongfang Shu’s bed!
