My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 572 - 569: I'm Here to Take Revenge on You

Bai Mudan sat in the carriage, looking at Gao Fei with a cold tone, "It's neither for pleasure nor for official business."

"Uh?" Gao Fei was startled, "Then you are …?"

"I am here for revenge."

"Revenge? What revenge? Against whom?"

"Against you!"

"Me?"

"Yes, you!" Bai Mudan said word by word, "You rejected me, hurt my self-esteem, and I definitely won't let you go."

Gao Fei frowned, this Bai Mudan was simply … unreasonable!

"Have you heard the rumors?" Bai Mudan said coldly, "About you chasing after me and being rejected by me!"

Gao Fei's gaze sharpened, "The rumors were spread by you?"

"Yes, it was me." Bai Mudan nodded, "Do you know why I did this?" Without waiting for Gao Fei to reply, she continued, "It's just to disgust you! To ruin your reputation! To make you afraid to show your face ever again!"

Gao Fei's face twitched several times, forcefully holding back the anger in his heart, "This is a bit … too much, isn't it?"

"Too much?" Bai Mudan sneered, "I don't think so at all! I, Bai Mudan, have lived for many years and have never been rejected by a man. Men have always been the ones pursuing me, desperately seeking me, only to be rejected by me in the end." Her tone became harsher, "For the first time, I was moved, for the first time, I liked a man, for the first time, I had the thought of marriage … but you … ruthlessly rejected me! Do you know how much that hurt me?"

"I have already explained to you ..."

"Gao Fei! From the moment you rejected me, you became my enemy, and I won't let you off." Bai Mudan said through clenched teeth, "I will torment you bit by bit, make you fall from grace, become impoverished, unable to live, and unable to die." After saying this, Bai Mudan left in the carriage.

Gao Fei stood on the street, his brow tightly furrowed, his face ashen, his mood extremely irritable.

…

In the days that followed, Bai Mudan caused trouble for Gao Fei every day, making his life unbearable.

At last, Gao Fei had no choice but to "leave home and run away."

If he could not provoke her, he could at least hide from her!

Gao Fei went into hiding, and Bai Mudan began to torment his subordinates, with Chen San and Liu Qing being the main targets. For a time, the barracks were in total disarray because of Bai Mudan.

Gao Fei had made up his mind, no matter how much Bai Mudan tormented, he would not show himself, he would just let her be, assuming she would stop once she got tired and would naturally leave.

…

The sun was setting in the west.

A man walked along the mountain path, with clear brows and handsome eyes, wearing a long robe, his eyes cold, his body exuding a fierce killing intent.

If Gao Fei were here, he would recognize the man's origin at one glance … Dongfang Jian!

Yes, this cold man was Dongfang Jian.

As he walked, he recalled the words of his wooden dummy mentor, "Disciple, you now have the strength to protect yourself, it's time to go out and gain experience. Travel, see, think – the more experiences you have, the deeper your understanding of life will be, and the more stable your mental state will be."

"I have cultivated to the Soul Out of Aperture Stage, I should be considered a master in this world by now, right?"

"Gao Fei, what is your cultivation now? I bet it's not as high as mine?"

"Gao Fei, oh Gao Fei, you probably don't know that I have already arrived here... When you see me, you will surely be very surprised, won't you?"

"I am so looking forward to it, so looking forward to the day when I meet you."

Although so much time had passed, Dongfang Jian's hatred for Gao Fei hadn't decreased one bit; in fact, it had grown substantially. Without killing Gao Fei, Dongfang Jian would never find happiness in this life.

During the following period, Dongfang Jian traveled everywhere, crossing barren mountains, walking through deserts and grasslands, and finally arriving at Chaotic Wind City.

After staying for a few days, Dongfang Jian heard a rumor, a rumor about Gao Fei...

"Gao Fei pursued the city lord's daughter and was ultimately rejected by her?" Dongfang Jian's mouth curved into a smile: "It's really like finding lost shoes without looking, such an effortless gain... Gao Fei has some skills, actually mingling in the officialdom, and even becoming a Wan Fuchang? Quite some cultivation there."

"And there was a scandal with the city lord's daughter?

"Is the rumor true or false?

"The city lord's daughter..."

Dongfang Jian's eyes gleamed as they spun around, a sneaky idea forming in his mind, and he let out a cold smirk: "Gao Fei, it won't be long before we meet, just don't be too surprised when the time comes, hehehe..." Dongfang Jian burst out laughing.

What sneaky plan had Dongfang Jian thought of?

Everyone, don't rush, the answer will be revealed soon.

...

After a month of fuss, Bai Mudan finally got tired and then returned to Chaotic Wind City in her carriage.

Before leaving, Bai Mudan also left a vicious message: Gao Fei better keep hiding forever because as soon as he dares to show his face, Bai Mudan will deal with him harshly!

With Bai Mudan making such a scene, Gao Fei's reputation was truly ruined. Soldiers discussed it, civilians gossiped; some criticized Gao Fei, some supported him, and some kept their opinions to themselves... In short, Gao Fei became the entertainment topic for everyone.

"Mudan, have you had enough?" Bai Daqing said with a stern face: "No matter what, Gao Fei saved my life. By treating him like this... Is it appropriate? Aren't you afraid of being pointed at your backbone and being called ungrateful?" Bai Daqing was firmly against Bai Mudan harassing Gao Fei, but Bai Mudan wouldn't listen and insisted on going, and Bai Daqing couldn't stop her.

"Over these two years, you've been quite good to Gao Fei as well. Not to mention other things, just take Gao Fei's post as Wan Fuchang. Without your secret support, could Gao Fei have become a Wan Fuchang?" Bai Mudan snorted.

"Gao Fei's post as Wan Fuchang was personally bestowed by the Emperor, it has nothing to do with me..."

"How does it have nothing to do with you? If it weren't for you speaking highly of Gao Fei in front of the Emperor, the Emperor would never have appointed Gao Fei as Wan Fuchang.

"You child..."

"Gao Fei did save your life, but you have already repaid that debt."

"Repaid it?"

"Yes! Repaid!"

"You..."

"I'm tired, I'm going to rest." Bai Mudan left huffily.

"This girl, she's really becoming more and more uncontrollable," Bai Daqing sighed heavily.

...

The next morning.

Bai Mudan took a carriage out of the city to relax and have some fun in the countryside.

It was the season when the plum blossoms were in full bloom. As Bai Mudan walked along the path, inhaling the fragrance of the plum blossoms, she felt her whole being lighten. She had always loved plum blossoms from a young age, their appearance, their fragrance.

"The flower is beautiful! But the person is even more beautiful!"

A man's voice of admiration came from the side.

"Who!"

Bai Mudan turned abruptly to see a tall and handsome man: "Were you the one talking just now?"

The man nodded: "Indeed, it was I."

"What did you mean by those words you just said?" Bai Mudan demanded.

"What I just said... 'the flower is beautiful, but the person is even more beautiful!'" The man smiled: "To elaborate, the plum blossoms are very beautiful, but miss, you are even more beautiful!"
