Chapter 401
Regarding Xiao Shuo, Ye Yuning’s heart was filled with dissatisfaction. She strode angrily into the room.Xiao Shuo was sitting in Ye Yuning’s office, looking equally displeased. He had been threatened by his own grandfather last night. His own grandfather... and yet, he had been forced to deal with the matter between Ye Yuning and Uncle Seven. Thinking of Uncle Seven’s terrifying nature and Ye Yuning’s outrageous behavior, Xiao Shuo felt a headache coming on.
When Ye Yuning entered, she saw Xiao Shuo sitting upright on the sofa, a complete departure from his usual demeanor. Seeing that he hadn’t propped his feet up on the coffee table, Ye Yuning felt slightly better. If he had been like before, she might have had to physically discipline him right then and there!
"Why are you here? Xiao Shuo, don’t tell me you still haven’t realized that we’ve long since called off our engagement?" Ye Yuning said coldly.
Their engagement had been called off under rather unpleasant circumstances. Afterward, they should have had nothing more to do with each other, yet somehow, one issue after another kept cropping up.
Xiao Shuo’s countenance darkened considerably when he saw her. "Yes, we’ve already called off our engagement. Logically, we shouldn’t be involved with each other anymore." His tone was equally serious. This was a stark contrast to his previous humble pleas for reconciliation; it was rare for him to display such clarity.
Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow. "Then what are you doing here?" If he could say such things, then presumably he didn’t want any further contact either.
Xiao Shuo looked at Ye Yuning’s casual, nonchalant demeanor, and it infuriated him. She was the one who had missed out on marrying into the most prestigious family in Upper City! Yet this woman, how could she be so carefree? Was it because her revenge against him had succeeded?
At that thought, Xiao Shuo closed his eyes tightly, suppressing his rage. "I know I wronged you, but you shouldn’t take revenge on me like this." The more he spoke, the more he gritted his teeth.
Yes, revenge! In his eyes, Ye Yuning getting involved with his Uncle Seven was her way of retaliating against him. Not only did he see it this way, but his grandfather had thought the same upon finding out. So, it was undoubtedly vengeance.
The corner of Ye Yuning’s mouth twitched. Hearing Xiao Shuo’s words left her utterly bewildered. She walked to her desk and tossed her bag onto it carelessly. As she sat down, she clasped her hands together. "How have I taken revenge on you? Explain it to me clearly today!" Latest content publıshed on NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Even now, Ye Yuning found the whole situation incomprehensible. Xiao Shuo either accused her of seeking revenge or of seducing his Uncle Seven. But she really hadn’t done anything...!
Xiao Shuo bit out, "Did you sleep with my Uncle Seven? You slept with him!" As he said this, his eyes even turned bloodshot.
Ye Yuning’s breathing grew heavier. His words made anger shoot straight to the top of her head. First, it was seduction, and now, apparently, they’d slept together...
Suppressing the urge to throw her bag at him, she retorted, "In your mind, is your Uncle Seven’s bed so easy to get into?" That was the perverted Xiao Seventh Master, a man rumored to be celibate. Women who had tried to climb into his bed when he was abroad had all met terrible ends. Consequently, no one dared to provoke him anymore. For such a chaste man, she’d have to be out of her mind to even try to get close to him.
Xiao Shuo’s face turned a livid shade.
Ye Yuning continued, "You overestimate me. After all these years, I haven’t even managed to climb into your bed, so how could I possibly have the skill to climb into your Uncle Seven’s?"
Xiao Shuo: "..."
This audacious woman! Hearing Ye Yuning’s equally blunt and forthright words, Xiao Shuo was so enraged his face turned deep red. "Is that what a woman should say?"
Ye Yuning replied, "Sorry, I was worried you might not understand, so I put it more directly."
Xiao Shuo: "..."
Not understand? What did she mean by that? Was she calling him as stupid as a pig, unable to comprehend a simple sentence? Now Xiao Shuo was genuinely on the verge of losing his temper, yet he was utterly helpless against Ye Yuning.
Ye Yuning said, "I’m serious. I really don’t have that kind of ability." Faced with such slander, Ye Yuning readily admitted she lacked the skill—she didn’t possess such prowess! After all, if one actually had the ability for such things, the repercussions would be endless and disastrous!
Xiao Shuo: "..."
She didn’t have the ability! Thinking back, why had he looked down on her all those years? Was it because she was an adopted daughter? But in reality, she was quite attractive. Besides being the Ye Family’s adopted daughter, her other qualities were outstanding. He hadn’t paid much attention before, but looking closely now, Xiao Shuo realized Ye Yuning’s type of beauty actually appealed to his aesthetic taste. But then, thinking of her and Uncle Seven...!
Seeing Xiao Shuo remain silent, Ye Yuning added, "Besides, your Uncle Seven is such a pervert; I wouldn’t be interested in him either."
This remark instantly struck a nerve with Xiao Shuo. Although he was dissatisfied with Uncle Seven, how could Ye Yuning speak about a member of the Xiao Family like that? His innate instinct to protect his own was instantly triggered!
He glared furiously at Ye Yuning. "Still trying to deny it? I saw you eating with my Uncle Seven with my own eyes."
Ye Yuning: "..."
Eating? Together? He saw her dining with Xiao Seventh Master? This...!
