Chapter 677: Chapter 0677: Brother Ye, long time no see
Ye Xunhuan was not troubled by the Lin family’s affairs but was instead depressed all day because of a woman’s matters.
In the past, Ye Xunhuan definitely thought himself awesome, believing there was nothing that couldn’t be solved with his fists, but now he had discovered that in front of a woman, even the hardest fists were utterly useless!
Qiu Ruoxi was the wife Qin Fenghuang had found for Ye Xunhuan, and Su Guyan was Ye Xunhuan’s old flame. These two...
For a moment, Ye Xunhuan felt a deep, melancholic sorrow!
Until he got off work, this profound melancholy persisted.
After work, Ye Xunhuan didn’t head straight home to the villa but went to see Xiao Jiu instead.
After sitting in the hospital for a while, Ye Xunhuan drove back to the villa.
By the time Ye Xunhuan got back to the villa, Wang Zilin and Qiu Ruoxi were sitting on the couch, while Wang’s mother was busy in the kitchen.
Upon entering the villa, Ye Xunhuan immediately walked towards the living room.
But before Ye Xunhuan could reach the living room, Qiu Ruoxi got up and said to Wang Zilin, "Zilin, let’s eat!"
Upon hearing Qiu Ruoxi’s words, Wang Zilin didn’t say much and just followed Qiu Ruoxi out of the living room.
Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but bitterly smile. Without guessing, he knew that Qiu Ruoxi’s behavior was definitely because of Su Guyan.
Regarding this, Ye Xunhuan had no solution and could only head to the dining room.
At the dining table, Qiu Ruoxi didn’t say a word, just buried her head in her meal. Wang Zilin was inherently introverted and seldom spoke, so naturally, she wouldn’t say much now.
As for Wang’s mother, she could clearly sense that something was off with Qiu Ruoxi today and didn’t dare say much either.
Ye Xunhuan wanted to say something to Qiu Ruoxi, but he didn’t know how to start, so he turned his head towards Wang Zilin and asked, "Zilin, are you getting used to your job?"
Wang Zilin nodded, "Yes, everyone is very caring towards me!"
"That’s good. If there’s anything you’re not used to, just tell me, or tell your sister Ruoxi!"
"I know, big brother Ye, thank you!"
Silence fell upon the group once again.
The dinner atmosphere was incredibly somber and oppressive.
After finishing the meal, Qiu Ruoxi headed straight upstairs.
Once Qiu Ruoxi had left, Wang’s mother couldn’t help but look at Ye Xunhuan and asked, "Son-in-law, you and the miss haven’t fought again, have you?"
As she spoke, a worried expression appeared on Wang’s mother’s face.
The two of them had just reconciled a few days ago, and now it seemed like they were reverting back to the old ways.
Ye Xunhuan knew the worries in Wang’s mother’s heart, shook his head, and said, "Wang’s mother, don’t worry. We haven’t had a fight. It might be some troublesome work matter Ruoxi encountered!"
Ye Xunhuan didn’t tell Wang’s mother the whole truth, as he didn’t want her to worry.
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Wang’s mother let out a long sigh of relief: "That’s good, that’s good!"
Then, Ye Xunhuan also headed upstairs.
Upon reaching the upper floor, Ye Xunhuan first went to the study, knowing Qiu Ruoxi would likely be there at this time. However, this time, he was mistaken.
The study was empty.
Could she be in the bedroom?
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan headed towards the bedroom.
Qiu Ruoxi was indeed in the bedroom, reclining on the bed with a book about finance in her hands!
Upon hearing the door open, Qiu Ruoxi looked up. When she saw Ye Xunhuan, she asked nonchalantly, "Is something the matter?"
"Honey, are you okay?"
"What could possibly be wrong with me?" Qiu Ruoxi said coldly, "What do you want from me?"
"Nothing much!" Ye Xunhuan gave a sheepish smile, "About that Ying Emperor Group..."
"You handle it, you’re more familiar with Su Guyan!" Qiu Ruoxi said expressionlessly. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
It was impossible to tell what Qiu Ruoxi was really thinking from her face.
"You’re not going..."
"Why should I go?" Qiu Ruoxi stared at Ye Xunhuan and asked, "And you want me to go in that capacity!"
"As your wife, or as a partner?"
Ye Xunhuan was left completely speechless by Qiu Ruoxi’s sharp words.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan fall silent, Qiu Ruoxi spoke again, "Alright, if there’s nothing else, please leave, I want to read."
As her words fell, Qiu Ruoxi’s gaze returned to the book in her hands, as if the charm of Ye Xunhuan was far less than that of the book she held!
Seeing Qiu Ruoxi’s cold, proud demeanor, Ye Xunhuan sighed softly, said nothing, and turned to leave Qiu Ruoxi’s bedroom.
No sooner had Ye Xunhuan left than Qiu Ruoxi immediately threw the book she was holding aside.
"Damn it, Ye Xunhuan, you bastard, can’t you just say you want me to go as your wife, damn it..." Qiu Ruoxi started to curse.
But the good times didn’t last, and Qiu Ruoxi’s angry face gradually dimmed.
Ye Xunhuan hadn’t said so, perhaps because she was not as important in his heart as Su Guyan?
Otherwise, why wouldn’t he say he wanted her to go as his wife?
Thinking about this, Qiu Ruoxi’s heart was filled with an unprecedented bitterness, and her delicate cheeks also grew a bit more mournful.
If previously, Qiu Ruoxi was just suspicious that Su Guyan had moved the Imperial Map Group to Jiangzhong City because of Ye Xunhuan, at this moment she was completely certain of it.
It was very likely that Su Guyan came to Jiangzhong City because of Ye Xunhuan, and the two might have rekindled their past relationship!
Did Ye Xunhuan not want to say that Qiu Ruoxi should go as his wife?
Obviously not!
He wanted to say it, but what would Qiu Ruoxi say if he did?
He didn’t know; he only knew that this woman, though quiet, could make a grown man think of jumping off a building with just one sharp word from her mouth.
And with Su Guyan having just arrived, having Qiu Ruoxi face her as his wife, what would that mean?
It was a dilemma for Ye Xunhuan!
......
The next day, everything seemed as usual, but it was different; Qiu Ruoxi didn’t speak a word to Ye Xunhuan after breakfast and left the villa directly.
She even took Wang Zilin with her, completely leaving Ye Xunhuan hanging. For this, Ye Xunhuan could only give a bitter smile.
Ye Xunhuan had just driven to the Imperial Map Group, arrived in the lobby, and encountered an old acquaintance he hadn’t seen in a long time—Xu Mingzhe!
Upon seeing Xu Mingzhe, a look of surprise appeared on Ye Xunhuan’s face.
What is this guy doing here?
Ye Xunhuan saw Xu Mingzhe, and Xu Mingzhe saw Ye Xunhuan.
Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan, Xu Mingzhe immediately showed a thick smile, "Brother Ye, long time no see!"
