Chapter 529: Very Much Like a Bullied Young Wife
""""Duoduo, have some."
Ji Wei pushed the fruit platter toward her.
Xia Duoduo didn’t hold back, picked up a piece, and popped it into her mouth. So sweet!
"Little Wei, how come your wicked mother-in-law suddenly had a change of heart?"
Nan Huiru’s past behavior had always left Xia Duoduo with a poor impression of her.
But just now, she was genuinely shocked.
Buying so much food and necessities all at once—this was clearly spoiling her daughter-in-law!
Ji Wei responded with a faint sigh, "I don’t get it either."
...
An Jue Bar.
It was 9:30 at night.
Inside a private room, sat three men who were influential figures in Rongcheng.
"Come on, let’s play something exciting." Xi Nanfeng grabbed the poker cards on the table and gestured to his two buddies. "What about ’Fight the Landlord’? Loser takes off their clothes!"
The two buddies didn’t react at all to his proposal.
"This gathering is insanely boring!"
Unable to tolerate the dullness, Xi Nanfeng finally vented his frustration: "We rarely get together, and now poker’s off the table, I’m not allowed to call in pretty girls to drink with us, one of you is zoning out, and the other is busy reading a script. You’re killing me here!"
Infuriated, Xi Nanfeng grabbed the red wine on the table and downed it in one go.
Mo Qian sat quietly in the far corner, legs crossed, radiating an air of calm elegance. Hearing this, he merely raised an eyebrow and replied coolly, "Feeling stifled? Then go out. No one’s stopping you."
Xi Nanfeng was livid, shoving Ye Cheng, who was reading a script, to complain, "Old Ye, you tell him! He’s driving me crazy!"
Ye Cheng flipped a page with his slender fingers, lifted his phoenix eyes briefly to glance at Xi Nanfeng, then went back to his script.
They were both infuriating him to death!
Xi Nanfeng rolled up his sleeves, hands on his hips, and yelled, "Why bother coming out for a gathering if you’re going to read some stupid script? It’s not like Xingyao’s boss is going to pay you overtime!"
Pointing angrily, he accused Ye Cheng. Content orıginally comes from novelFirｅ.net
"Do you realize how much you’re acting like a frustrated little wife?" Ye Cheng responded indifferently, without even lifting his gaze.
Xi Nanfeng was instantly rendered speechless.
Why did he end up hanging out with these two big shots?
"I’m going out for a smoke!"
Frustrated beyond belief, Xi Nanfeng stormed out of the private room.
After he left for a while, Ye Cheng looked up and asked, "Old Mo, how’s the situation?"
Mo Qian’s slender, pale fingers glided over his wireless earpiece as he spoke in a deep voice to the other side for a few moments before replying, "Almost ready. A few more minutes, and we’ll move in."
Ye Cheng nodded and went back to his script.
Moments later, Mo Qian rose from the sofa, taking a step toward the private room’s exit. "Let’s go."
Ye Cheng closed his script and followed.
Just then, Xi Nanfeng pushed the door open and came back in.
Seeing the two heading out, he was startled. "Where are you two sneaking off to? Chasing girls?"
Mo Qian shot him an exasperated glance and continued walking outside.
Ye Cheng also took a step, but Xi Nanfeng quickly grabbed him. "Old Ye, I just saw Zimei."
Ye Cheng’s phoenix eyes darkened suddenly, yet he didn’t turn back. Speaking in an icy tone, he said, "It has nothing to do with me."
"How could it have nothing to do with you? Weren’t you two cozy at that troublemaker’s birthday party? And now, one day later, you’re back to square one?"
"..."
"I saw Zimei walking into a private room with Lu Shanhu and several other men. Do you think she, a woman, surrounded by a pack of men, might be at a disadvantage?"
Ye Cheng’s thin lips pressed into a tight line, yet his hand at his side gradually clenched. Without responding, he strode out.
"What exactly are you two heading off to do? Wait for me! Hey!"
Feeling completely ignored, Xi Nanfeng quickly hurried after them.
