Chapter 15: I’m Already His Woman—Please Stop Harassing My Man!
Hearing that it was Xuan Yufei, Ye Fan’s heart trembled.
The girl who had accompanied him through his youth had long since left a deep imprint on his heart.
But Xuan Yufei had broken off their engagement with him in that kind of setting, which was nothing less than kicking him while he was down. Although it hadn’t been her decision, the fact that she hadn’t stood up to fight for him had already hurt Ye Fan.
Even so, whenever he thought of that girl, he still felt a trace of regret and pity.
“Let’s go. We’ll see her.” Su Yixue linked her arm through Ye Fan’s, straightened her appearance, then deliberately messed up her clothes a little before leading him outside.
At the villa gate, Xuan Yufei stood there alone. Seeing Ye Fan and Su Yixue walk out so intimately together, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart.
Just one day apart, and Ye Fan was already with Su Yixue?
“Xuan Yufei, what are you doing here? Didn’t you already break off your engagement with Ye Fan yesterday? Have you come to mock my man again?” Su Yixue showed her no kindness.
The Ye family’s honor was something everyone should have protected together.
But yesterday, in front of so many people, the Xuan family had ground the Ye family’s dignity into the dirt. Was that still not enough? Had they come today to humiliate Ye Fan again?
Knowing that her actions yesterday had hurt many people, Xuan Yufei didn’t argue with Su Yixue. Instead, she turned to Ye Fan and said gently, “Brother Fan... I came to apologize. Yesterday... it wasn’t what I wanted. It was my second uncle’s decision. I...”
By the end, she felt like she was about to cry.
Deep down, Xuan Yufei truly loved Ye Fan. She was simply too gentle by nature. When her second uncle announced the news, she hadn’t had the courage that Yu Linglong and the others had shown by stepping forward.
But after just one night, everything had become irreversible.
“Yufei, so you’re here! I’ve been looking for you all morning. Didn’t we agree to go see a movie together today?” Before Xuan Yufei could finish speaking, a Mercedes pulled up beside them. Li Yunyang, the young master of the Li family in Yuncheng, got out, smiling warmly as he handed her a bouquet of roses.
“Ah... this...” Xuan Yufei was so embarrassed she wished she could dig a hole and disappear. She had come to apologize—why had Li Yunyang followed her here?
And who had leaked her whereabouts to him?
It had to be her second uncle!
Sigh...
“Xuan Yufei, is this your apology? Did you come to apologize, or to show off your romance?” Seeing the lonely look on Ye Fan’s face, Su Yixue couldn’t bear it. She stepped forward and scolded Xuan Yufei, “Let me tell you something. I’m already Ye Fan’s woman... so from now on, please stop harassing my husband!”
As she spoke, Su Yixue cupped Ye Fan’s face and gently kissed him on the lips.
It was both a declaration and a warning.
Crack!
At that moment, Xuan Yufei seemed to hear the sound of her own heart shattering.
Had they really gotten together so quickly?
Wasn’t Ye Fan supposed to be a fool? Could he even...?
Ye Fan had still felt some lingering regret toward Xuan Yufei, so seeing her come to apologize had brought him a little comfort. But when he saw Li Yunyang appear as well, anger immediately welled up inside him.
What was more, from Zhao Tianlong and Zhao Dechang, Ye Fan had already learned that the Li family of Yuncheng was a subordinate family of the Liu family from the provincial capital and had also taken part in the campaign to suppress the Ye family.
They were mortal enemies of the Ye family.
It was one thing for Xuan Yufei to leave him—but to immediately throw herself into the arms of the Ye family’s enemies?
Ye Fan found that impossible to accept.
“Hehe! Yufei, you won’t be my wife, but now I’ve got a wife... prettier than you, and six more...” Ye Fan counted carefully on his fingers with complete seriousness.
He was doing it on purpose. Even if you, Xuan Yufei, won’t be with me, there are still seven beautiful sisters-in-law willing to be with me!
Pfft!
Xuan Yufei felt blood surge up in her chest. Her throat tasted sweet, but she forced herself not to spit it out. Staggering slightly, her face pale, she looked at Ye Fan and forced a smile.
“Brother Fan... as long as you’re happy... then I’m happy for you...”
With that, she held back the tears threatening to fall and hurried toward her car.
Li Yunyang tried to help her, but she angrily shoved him away.
“Get lost!”
Xuan Yufei didn’t like Li Yunyang at all. But after learning that the Ye family had fallen, her second uncle had insisted she date Li Yunyang for the sake of the Xuan family’s future.
That day, Su Yixue was going to the company to handle some business and was worrying about what to do with Ye Fan.
Given his condition, she really wasn’t comfortable leaving him home alone. But taking him to the company wasn’t convenient either, since she still had negotiations to attend outside.
Just as she was worrying, Wang Fugui drove over.
“Don’t worry, Sister-in-law. Leave Big Brother to me—I’ll take good care of him!” Wang Fugui waved his hand confidently, putting Su Yixue completely at ease.
Wang Fugui and Ye Fan had practically grown up wearing the same pair of pants. No matter what happened, Wang Fugui always stood by Ye Fan unconditionally.
Moreover, Wang Fugui’s strength was steadily increasing now. With Ye Fan by his side, he should be perfectly safe.
“Alright! Then I’ll leave him to you. I’ll come back as early as I can this afternoon.” After giving Wang Fugui a few instructions, Su Yixue drove away.
Wang Fugui helped Ye Fan into his car. Once Su Yixue had left, he finally spoke.
“Big Brother! Everyone’s gone now. Stop pretending, okay? I know you’re only acting stupid. Between brothers, there’s no need to keep pretending.”
After returning home yesterday, the more Wang Fugui thought about it, the stranger everything seemed.
Ye Fan’s behavior at the banquet, along with that unusual feeling... Wang Fugui kept feeling that Ye Fan was different from before. If Ye Fan had truly been a fool before, then he should have already recovered now.
Especially after midnight, Wang Fugui received news that the Zhao family had been wiped out overnight.
His first thought was that Ye Fan had done it. But after calling Old Master Ye, he learned that Ye Fan had been staying at Su Yixue’s villa and hadn’t had the opportunity to make a move.
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t figure it out. So early that morning, he came to test Ye Fan.
“Old Wang, what are you trying to put on? I’ve got a plastic bag here. Want to use it?” Ye Fan pulled a plastic bag from his clothes and handed it to Wang Fugui, leaving him both amused and exasperated.
Was this big brother really still a fool?
“Big Brother! I don’t know whether you’re really stupid or just pretending, but I’m going to assume you’re not anymore.” While driving, Wang Fugui said, “Since we’ve got nothing to do today, I’ll take you to the places we used to hang out. Maybe it’ll help you remember something.”
Wang Fugui’s words made Ye Fan’s heart tighten.
Where had he often gone before he became mentally impaired?
Surely it wasn’t places like those nightlife clubs?
