Chapter 388: Chapter 0388: Clinging to You Like a Dog
Inside the Fragrant Water Pavilion Villa!
Qiu Ruoxi sat on the sofa, fuming with anger, "I just knew Qi Jieyu was up to no good, I did not expect her to be so despicable..."
However, Ye Xunhuan was all calm, sitting on the sofa with a chuckle on his face.
"Miss, what happened to make you so angry?"
Wang Ma made a cup of ginseng tea for each, Qiu Ruoxi and Ye Xunhuan, and brought them over.
"Wang Ma, you don’t know, that Qi Jieyu is simply a lowlife, even more shameless than this bastard..."
The originally chuckling Ye Xunhuan’s smile immediately froze upon hearing Qiu Ruoxi’s words, "Wife, what did I do again..."
"You bastard, you still have the nerve to ask? You clearly knew Qi Jieyu had poisoned the wine, and you still drank it..."
"If I hadn’t stopped you, wouldn’t you have drunk it too!" Ye Xunhuan pursed his lips, "You dimwit, I was giving you a signal, and you didn’t even notice!"
"You..."
"Alright, alright, miss, aren’t both of you fine now?" Wang Ma said as she tried to calm the furious Qiu Ruoxi.
"Wang Ma, look at him, what is he like, he clearly knew someone had tampered with the wine, and he still drank it..."
"If the son-in-law dared to drink, that means he isn’t afraid and he has a way to deal with it, and besides, isn’t the son-in-law alright now?"
"Exactly, you think you’re in the right because you’re a silly girl, without strength, who would dare to go to Liangshan!" Ye Xunhuan said proudly, "My drinking shows I’m not afraid!"
"Plus, if I hadn’t drunk it, how would you have known Qi Jieyu could be so despicable?"
Although what Ye Xunhuan said made sense, Qiu Ruoxi felt a bit annoyed seeing his proud demeanor.
"Then why did you collapse on the ground before..."
"I was acting!" Ye Xunhuan said flatly, "I was just playing along with them out of boredom, who knew you’d come back just when I was really getting into it!"
"Admit it, you were worried about me, couldn’t rest easy, so you turned back, didn’t you?"
"Worried about you my foot, you damned fool, pretending to be dead for no reason, they even smashed the car windows, do you have any idea how much that will cost!" Qiu Ruoxi said angrily, "You could’ve just knocked them all down with a few punches and kicks..."
"Damn, how did I forget about the car window thing..."
Qiu Ruoxi’s face was full of black lines, utterly speechless at her ridiculous husband!
"Damn it, showing off really comes at a price!" Ye Xunhuan let out a small sigh, then picked up the ginseng tea and began drinking.
"Ye Xunhuan, I really want to smack you dead, you damn fool." Qiu Ruoxi said through gritted teeth!
"Alright, alright, miss, isn’t it good that the son-in-law is fine?" Wang Ma said earnestly, "If the son-in-law had been hurt, you would have been heartbroken, right?"
"It’s just a car window, if worst comes to worst, miss, I’ll pay for the son-in-law to replace it!"
"Wang Ma, how can you side with him and add fuel to the fire, I’m so angry!"
With that, Qiu Ruoxi got up and headed upstairs.
"Wife, your ginseng tea!"
"I don’t want it!"
"Wang Ma, you go rest early too. No need to mind me, I’ll go to bed after I finish smoking!"
"Son-in-law, this old woman has something to say, please don’t take it to heart!"
"Look at you talk, Wang Ma, just say whatever you want!"
"Son-in-law, the miss was really worried about you today, I’ve never seen the miss so angry, although I don’t know exactly what happened, it must have been something serious!" Wang Ma said gravely to Ye Xunhuan, "Son-in-law, perhaps you don’t realize, a woman is most likely to worry about her man, especially when she doesn’t know anything, that’s when she gets the most uneasy!"
"If something like this happens again, please give Miss Qiu a heads up first, and she won’t react like this!"
Wang Mom was like Ye Xunhuan’s emotional coach, often guiding him on the relationship matters between him and Qiu Ruoxi!
To this, Ye Xunhuan could only smile bitterly in his heart. Discuss it with Qiu Ruoxi?
What to say, that he was a monster?
"I understand, Wang Mom, thank you!"
"Son-in-law, I won’t disturb you any longer, I’m off to rest!"
Ye Xunhuan nodded his head, not saying much more.
After Ye Xunhuan finished his ginseng tea and his cigarette, he looked at Qiu Ruoxi’s untouched cup of ginseng tea, picked it up from the sofa, and headed upstairs.
Without thinking, Ye Xunhuan knew that at this hour Qiu Ruoxi definitely had not gone back to the bedroom but was in the study.
Sure enough, after Ye Xunhuan pushed the door to the study, he saw Qiu Ruoxi sitting at the desk.
"Wife, still angry?" said Ye Xunhuan with a fawning smile on his face, "Don’t be angry, I’ll definitely tell you in advance next time!"
Qiu Ruoxi huffed.
"I promise I won’t make you worry about me next time..."
"Worry about you? Dream on!"
"Really not worried about me?"
Facing Ye Xunhuan’s intense gaze, Qiu Ruoxi found herself unable to meet his eyes, and with a bit of evasion said, "I wouldn’t worry about you. I’m just afraid that if Mom and Dad found out you died, they’d be heartbroken. And with Mom’s poor health, what if something happened?"
"And there’s Auntie, if something happened to you, she’d definitely come bothering me!"
"So it’s because of Mom and Dad and Auntie, huh?" Ye Xunhuan deliberately stretched out his tone!
"Otherwise, I’d wish you were dead, so I could go find other men!"
"If that were the case, Mom would be furious with you!"
"You..."
"Alright, alright, don’t be angry, come on, have some ginseng tea to cool down!"
Qiu Ruoxi huffed, took the ginseng tea from Ye Xunhuan’s hand, and took a sip, "Ye Xunhuan, you better come clean—when did Lan Yi fall into your hands?"
"Yesterday or the day before, I forgot!"
"Didn’t you say you had no conflict with Qi Jieyu?"
"Yeah, I didn’t have a direct conflict with Qi Jieyu!" Ye Xunhuan said with an innocent look on his face as he gazed at Qiu Ruoxi!
"You bastard, playing word games with me..."
"No, I would have told you if you had asked!"
"You..." Qiu Ruoxi took a deep breath, "Fine, now I’m asking you—what are you planning to do next, and who is the person that took away the people in black?"
"The one who took them was my colleague," Ye Xunhuan blurted out, "As for what to do, it’s simple: meet the soldiers head-on and dam the flood with earth!"
"Speak honestly..."
"Okay, if I’m not mistaken, Qi Jieyu will call you tomorrow, trying to please you in every way possible, even clinging to you like a dog!" Ye Xunhuan’s mouth slowly curled into a sly smile!
Qi Jieyu’s experts were all dealt with by him, and he was poisoned on top of that, little Jiu knew as well—Qi Jieyu was definitely not going to have an easy night!
No, she would definitely enjoy it to the fullest!
