An Nuan said something before carefully pushing Ye Yunfeng away and hurrying off.
Ye Yunfeng turned around, watching An Nuan's retreating figure, his gaze growing more profound.
Chu Lingchuan observed Ye Yunfeng's reaction with keen interest, the smile on his lips no longer as carefree as it had been moments before.
"Ye Yunfeng, don't say I didn't warn you. Bringing someone like that to the Ye family—are you planning to let them devour her?"
"Perhaps it will spark something unexpected."
Ye Yunfeng replied indifferently, causing a muscle near Chu Lingchuan's eye to twitch.
"Unexpected sparks? Are you joking? Even someone like my cousin has to tread carefully when she visits the Ye family. Do you really think this little lamb will turn into a lion or tiger in the den of wolves? If you ask me, you should just go with my cousin. Most women simply can't survive in the Ye family."
"I'm not a Ye family member."
Ye Yunfeng couldn't help but scoff, prompting Chu Lingchuan to suddenly fall silent.
He frowned slightly, looking at Ye Yunfeng with rare seriousness. "You're using the Ye family's resources, yet you say you're not a Ye family member? You grew up in the Ye family, fed and nurtured by them. The conglomerate in your hands now also belongs to the Ye family. Even if you don't intend to stay with them, they don't see it that way. Ye Yunfeng, what exactly are you thinking? The grievances you suffered in the past—do you really want to pretend they never happened? I don't remember you ever being so magnanimous."
"I never said I was magnanimous."
Ye Yunfeng snorted coldly, appearing indifferent to the 'Ye family' that Chu Lingchuan spoke of.
Chu Lingchuan took a deep breath and suddenly looked at Ye Yunfeng with a confused expression. "Then why did you drag an innocent woman into this?"
"Innocent?" Ye Yunfeng asked.
"Not innocent?" Chu Lingchuan retorted.
Given Lu An Nuan's innocent, lamb-like appearance, she was either as pure as a blank sheet of paper or a master schemer so profound that even he, Chu Lingchuan, couldn't see through her.
Currently, it seemed mostly the former.
"She forced herself on me. Innocent?"
"Forced... you?"
Chu Lingchuan's jaw nearly dropped in astonishment.
Damn it!
"Have you no shame?! If you didn't want to, who could possibly force you? Ye Yunfeng, how did I not know you were this kind of person? You can lie to young girls, but do you really think you can lie to me?"
"You're not worth lying to!"
Ye Yunfeng revealed a hint of a smile, a calculating glint in his eyes, then added with disdain, "That's why you don't have a wife."
"Damn it, Ye Yunfeng, just wait! Do you believe I'll torture that old woman to death and make you two lovebirds go your separate ways right now?"
"You can try."
Ye Yunfeng left that remark, glanced at You Fengqiu, then turned and walked away.
His elegant strides showed no hesitation.
You Fengqiu watched her daughter leave, and now the man who had come with her daughter and claimed to be her husband had also departed. Fear crept in once more.
"Uh... Ye, Ye Yunfeng, wait."
"Oh?"
Ye Yunfeng's departing steps halted, and he turned back, looking at You Fengqiu with interest.
"Someone who sells her daughter for gain, is unmotivated, exploits her daughter's hard work, and still hits others—are you really expecting me to show you any mercy?"
"Aren't you my daughter's husband?"
"Yes."
"Then take me with you."
You Fengqiu said this without an ounce of politeness, seemingly forgetting that she had just struck someone.
Ye Yunfeng sneered, "You just hit my woman; what right do you have now to demand anything from me?"
