An Nuan never expected this.
Gu Yan Sheng could be so scheming to this extent.
He intentionally wanted to sow discord.
Unfortunately,
he didn't know that she and Ye Jinghuai had a marriage of convenience, pursuing interests rather than emotions.
In the next second, she saw Ye Jinghuai striding over.
He grabbed her arm directly, exerting force.
An Nuan suddenly bumped into Ye Jinghuai's chest.
It was a bit painful.
An Nuan rubbed her nose.
Is he out of his mind?!
Then she heard Ye Jinghuai's low, cold voice saying, "Instead of worrying about someone else's wife, Gu Young Master should pay more attention to his own reputation. I heard that the Gu Corporation has been experiencing frequent stock market declines, evaporating tens of billions, all because of Gu Young Master's influence."
"The instability of the Gu Corporation is just a normal fluctuation in the business market. Ye Third Young Master has never dealt with business matters, so he shouldn't spout nonsense and become a laughingstock," Gu Yan Sheng pretended, his tone tinged with sarcasm.
Ye Jinghuai sneered.
At that moment, An Nuan, who was lying in Ye Jinghuai's arms, also sneered.
Gu Yan Sheng had no idea that in the coming years, even decades, Ye Jinghuai would drive him crazy!
Ye Jinghuai's abilities surpassed everyone's imagination.
"Since Gu Young Master is so confident, let's pretend I didn't say anything just now," Ye Jinghuai seemed disdainful of entangling with Gu Yan Sheng. He coldly added, "But remember this, Gu Young Master. An Nuan is now my wife, Ye Jinghuai. It's best if you don't lay a finger on her!"
Gu Yan Sheng's face darkened.
Ye Jinghuai hugged An Nuan and left. Before leaving, he paused for a moment, and with a bloodthirsty tone, he added, "Wherever you touch her, I'll cut you there!"
Having said that,
he left with An Nuan, striding away.
Gu Yan Sheng clenched his fists.
This spoiled brat shouldn't think he can really threaten him.
Even though Ye Jinghuai's appearance just now was genuinely eerie and terrifying.
His eyes turned cold.
Anyway,
he won't have it easy.
No one will have it easy!
...
Ye Jinghuai hugged An Nuan and left.
But instead of returning to the main hall, Ye Jinghuai took her to another secluded corner, forcefully pressing her against the wall. He said, "Wasn't the lesson from last time enough?!"
An Nuan felt that Ye Jinghuai's temper was truly explosive at this moment.
Couldn't he see that Gu Yan Sheng did it on purpose?!
It was obvious that he deliberately tried to sow discord and he fell for it.
Is he stupid?!
An Nuan couldn't help but get angry too. She shouted at Ye Jinghuai, "Why are you so angry? Gu Yan Sheng clearly did it on purpose to create conflict between us!"
"Do you think I care about that?"
"Otherwise, what are you complaining about?! Are you upset because Gu Yan Sheng touched me lightly?" An Nuan seemed to be venting her frustration, "Can't you men stop being so self-righteous? You think that even if you don't love a woman, as long as she has some connection to you, she must remain pure for you, untouched by other men. Once there is any physical contact, it violates your pride. Ye Jinghuai, we're only in a marriage of convenience. Even if I sleep with Gu Yan Sheng now, it's none of your business... Mmm!"
An Nuan's lips were suddenly sealed tightly by Ye Jinghuai.
She knew.
All men were the same.
Gu Yan Sheng was that kind of person.
And so was Ye Jinghuai.
Thinking back to the previous life, Gu Yan Sheng showed no interest in her body at all. He wouldn't even spare her an extra glance, let alone care about her feelings.
Now that she no longer loved him, even hated him, he stubbornly clung to her, even showing concern for her. An Nuan was well aware that this concern was not fake; it was possessiveness, wounded pride, the inability to accept that his woman had fallen for someone else. The less he obtained, the more he had to possess!
This was the inherent flaw in all men, innate and unchangeable.
Her eyes narrowed.
"Mmm!" Ye Jinghuai suddenly released An Nuan's lips.
He stared at her with burning rage.
There were obvious traces of bloodstains from An Nuan's bite on his lips.
An Nuan said, "Is it that you won't be interested in me unless I sleep with you?"
Ye Jinghuai stared at her intensely, exuding danger from every pore.
"If that's the case, find a time, and I'll sleep with you!" An Nuan enunciated each word.
It was merely a physical act.
She didn't really care.
To her, living well, seeking revenge, and letting go of grudges were more important than anything else.
Anything else, she could accept.
At this moment, Ye Jinghuai seemed genuinely exploded by An Nuan's words.
His clenched fist.
He threw a fierce punch towards An Nuan.
An Nuan gritted her teeth.
In that moment of enduring with her eyes closed.
She heard a loud noise in her ears but didn't feel any pain.
Opening her eyes, she saw Ye Jinghuai's fist fiercely hitting the nearby wall.
With such a loud sound, she didn't need to think about how much force he had exerted. She couldn't even imagine what condition his knuckles would be in.
An Nuan tried hard to remain calm as she locked eyes with Ye Jinghuai.
She wasn't wrong.
Today, being forced by Gu Yan Sheng to go to the backyard was not something she willingly did.
It had nothing to do with her.
Even more so...
Based on her understanding of Ye Jinghuai, he must have realized that it was Gu Yan Sheng's deliberate act.
Yet, despite knowing everything, he still vented his anger on her. In the end, it was Ye Jinghuai's fault.
Thinking this, An Nuan's gaze became resolute.
His provocation was entirely Ye Jinghuai's doing!
The two of them remained locked in this stalemate for a long time.
A long time.
Ye Jinghuai released his fist from the wall, and at the same time, he let go of An Nuan.
It seemed like he had calmed his emotions.
He said, "An Nuan, one day you will drive me to my death."
An Nuan frowned.
Who was really pushing whom?
Who was going insane in the end?
In that moment, just as An Nuan was about to refute, she saw Ye Jinghuai turn around and walk away without a word.
He walked away, pausing for a moment.
He didn't look back.
Standing there, he seemed to be suppressing his emotions.
For a while.
He finally said, "What bothers me is that whenever you encounter something, you never think about letting me help you."
In truth, he had always been around her.
As long as she spoke up, he would do anything, without any hesitation!
Her eyes flickered, and in that moment, she lightly bit her lip, feeling a slight fluctuation of emotions because of Ye Jinghuai's words.
It was as if she had committed a terrible wrongdoing and hurt someone.
After Ye Jinghuai finished speaking, he truly left.
An Nuan watched his disappearing figure.
For a long time, she seemed to be adjusting her emotions.
She had always maintained a distance from Ye Jinghuai.
She didn't want to cross the line.
She admitted that she was afraid.
Afraid of everything related to "love."
Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of well ropes. It was difficult for her to break free from her own influence.
She didn't want to give Ye Jinghuai any hope.
And she didn't give herself any hope!
