Chapter 453: Chapter 0453: Using the Spear of the Son to Attack the Shield of the Son
Upon hearing this voice, Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi both glanced over, only to see Yan Qingdi walking elegantly toward them.
Due to attending the evening party, Yan Qingdi had dressed particularly meticulously today. His suit seemed tailor-made, fitting him perfectly and accentuating his slender figure. His hair was combed without a strand out of place, and he wore a faint smile, giving off an imposing aura.
When Qiu Ruoxi saw Yan Qingdi approaching, she fiercely glared at Ye Xunhuan from the corner of her eye as if to say, "We’ll settle this later!"
Feeling rather helpless about this, Ye Xunhuan thought that it was Qi Jieyu who was courting death, and he was merely facilitating her, just doing good deeds like Lei Feng, yet this woman still held it against him.
Really, it’s so hard to be a Lei Feng these days!
However, Ye Xunhuan knew that Qiu Ruoxi was just concerned about him, and his mood was still quite good. This woman wasn’t treating him with such cold indifference!
In the blink of an eye, Yan Qingdi had reached Qiu Ruoxi and said with genuine admiration, "Ruoxi, you look truly beautiful today!"
Before Qiu Ruoxi could respond, Ye Xunhuan turned to Yan Qingdi and said, "Thanks, Senior Yan, for complimenting my wife!"
Saying this, Ye Xunhuan realized something and quickly added, "That’s not right, you’re merely stating the obvious. My wife has always been very pretty and beautiful!"
Yan Qingdi wasn’t visibly embarrassed; he just smiled gently and said in a mild tone, "Mr. Ye is right, it’s my way of speaking that’s flawed."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Yan Qingdi spoke again, changing the subject, "I just saw Mr. Ye looking very familiar with a woman?"
"I heard she’s a widow from Zhonghai Province. Many people are eyeing her, Mr. Ye and her..."
Upon hearing Yan Qingdi’s words, Ye Xunhuan felt ten thousand raging emotions inside. This bastard had arrived earlier and had been watching everything from the shadows all along, not coming forth openly like Xu Mingzhe but looking for a chance to strike!
Such damn cunning!
"I guess I don’t have to explain anything to Senior Yan, do I?"
"Of course not," Yan Qingdi glanced at Qiu Ruoxi, then turned to Ye Xunhuan and said, "I’m just feeling a sense of injustice for Ruoxi!"
"Mr. Ye, you and Ruoxi are married now; she is your wife. Conducting such intimate interactions with another woman in front of your own wife, what place are you putting Ruoxi in?"
"Have you considered Ruoxi’s feelings?"
"If outsiders find out about Ruoxi’s marriage to you, have you thought about how much the rumors will hurt Ruoxi..."
Yan Qingdi’s face was full of righteousness, and every sentence he uttered involved Qiu Ruoxi, as if he was truly considering her best interests.
When Qiu Ruoxi heard Yan Qingdi’s words, she began to feel a bit uncomfortable.
Although she had once stated that she would not mind Ye Xunhuan’s private life or affairs,
after all, he was a man, and she couldn’t give him what he desired. He could go and enjoy himself, which she might normally ignore, especially since she hadn’t seen it happen.
But now, he was doing this in front of countless people with Dongfang Shu...
Ye Xunhuan was smiling at Yan Qingdi, but gradually, his smile turned cold.
This bastard, appearing all righteous and as if he was considering Qiu Ruoxi, was actually harboring malicious intentions, clearly intending to cause a rift between himself and Qiu Ruoxi.
And in her presence, he took on the role of a kind man, offering comfort to Qiu Ruoxi.
It must be said that Yan Qingdi’s depth of calculation is extraordinary. Previously inactive, he now seeks a secluded spot in Qiu Ruoxi’s name to confront Ye Xunhuan.
"Senior Yan, don’t you think this is due to personal charm?" Ye Xunhuan said with a smile, looking at Yan Qingdi, "I’m excellent, so women flock to me, which proves Qiu Ruoxi has good taste!"
"Otherwise, why would Dongfang Shu choose only me among so many men, instead of you, Senior Yan?"
"To put it bluntly, a man who is handsome, high-end, and classy attracts countless people’s attention and silent affection!" Ye Xunhuan shamelessly continued, "Senior Yan, you’re not jealous of me, are you?"
"Or is it seeing my wife has chosen a man more popular and excellent than you makes you uncomfortable and strikes a blow to your psyche?"
"Or perhaps, Senior Yan, you just can’t see the good in my wife!" Ye Xunhuan deliberately elongated his speech.
Yan Qingdi’s expression stiffened slightly. He had never expected Ye Xunhuan to spout such cumbersome nonsense to counter his verbal attack!
The brief verbal exchange was evenly matched; Yan Qingdi gained no advantages from Ye Xunhuan!
"Mr. Ye jests. How could I not wish for Qiu Ruoxi’s well-being!" Yan Qingdi quickly adjusted his attitude, "Rather, Mr. Ye’s behavior seems to be demonstrating to Qiu Ruoxi, as if to tell her, look how much in demand I am!"
Before Ye Xunhuan could speak, Yan Qingdi added, "Mr. Ye might feel that wasn’t his intention, but actually, you did mean that!"
"In psychology, there are many cases like yours, thinking they don’t mean it, but upon closer examination, there actually is a layer of bragging involved, just very faint, faint enough that you haven’t noticed it yet!"
"Of course, you could deny it, saying she was clinging to you and wouldn’t let go, but Mr. Ye, if you really wanted to break free, she probably wouldn’t be able to cling to you, right?"
Yan Qingdi completely blocked all of Ye Xunhuan’s exits, forcing Ye Xunhuan to admit that he was subtly showing off.
This rival is not easy to deal with!
"Senior Yan, are you a man?"
Yan Qingdi was taken aback, then slightly displeased said, "Mr. Ye, are you trying to insult me?"
"Senior Yan, don’t be angry, just tell me, are you a man?"
"Yes!"
"Do men like to look at beautiful women?" Ye Xunhuan softly said, "Unless a man has a hidden illness, he would like to!"
Yan Qingdi gritted his teeth, "Yes!"
He certainly didn’t want to admit to having any hidden illness.
"Men like to look at beautiful women and naturally like to be entangled by beautiful women, just as you mentioned in psychology, where vanity can be greatly satisfied!" Ye Xunhuan coolly continued, "I too have a frail heart!"
"Having Qiu Ruoxi as a wife and being clung to by Dongfang Shu, I think any man’s psyche would be greatly satisfied!"
"My wife understands this vanity of mine and hasn’t said anything, so why are you making such a fuss, fussing like an eunuch more anxious than the emperor!" Ye Xunhuan suddenly shifted his tone, "Or are you subconsciously hoping to see Qiu Ruoxi and I have a conflict, argue maybe?"
"You mentioned, psychology, subconscious desires..."
Ye Xunhuan used Yan Qingdi’s spear to attack Yan Qingdi’s shield!
