Ch. 401..410

Chapter 401 The Divorce Certificate is Real

Ye Jinyu felt an icy chill in her heart, "A fake divorce?"

Wen Xingye admired his own cleverness and quick wit, even his speech sped up, "Yes, a fake divorce. We’ll put on an act for your dad to see. We’ll get a divorce certificate, you show it to your dad, and once I get the compensation, we’ll remarry."

"So, you want to divorce me? Didn’t you just say you’d rather die than divorce me?" noveldrama

"Jinyu, did you not understand what I said? I’m talking about a fake divorce, it’s all fake."

"A fake divorce won’t fool my dad; he isn’t as brainless as I am."

"You see, you still didn’t understand me. I said we’re going to get a divorce certificate, the kind with the stamp from the Civil Affairs Bureau."

"That’s not a real divorce?"

"The divorce certificate is real, but our divorce is fake, it’s just acting. After I get the compensation, we’ll remarry and it’ll be like we never divorced."

Ye Jinyu almost wanted to laugh, but she really couldn’t.

Did he really take her for a fool? What does he mean the divorce certificate is real, but the divorce is fake? They haven’t even got the divorce certificate yet and he’s already cheating and has a love child, barely coming home. What would he be like if they actually got the divorce certificate?

She looked at the man she once deeply loved, observing his subtle expressions of excitement and smug satisfaction, and in that moment, she fully awoke.

He had never truly loved her. He loved only her status and her money.

For the first time in her life, she learned to be deceitful from him. She gave Wen Xingye a gentle smile, "Alright, let’s do that, a fake divorce."

Excitement burst in Wen Xingye’s eyes, "Jinyu, you agree?!"

"I agree."

"That’s fantastic! I knew you would agree. My career has hit a bottleneck, you wouldn’t leave me hanging, I really didn’t marry the wrong person!"

"So when do we go for the fake divorce? Tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow seems a bit too late, how about today?"

"I can’t today, I brought lunch for Xiaoyi and still have to deliver it to her."

"Don’t you have a driver? Let the driver deliver it and we’ll go get the divorce certificate first, so you can show your dad."

Wen Xingye felt his blood boiling, he could never have anticipated such a massive turnaround—ten billion! That was ten billion!

With those ten billion, he wouldn’t have to worry for the rest of his life! His son’s future would also be secure!

Ye Jinyu took out her phone and called the driver to deliver lunch to Ye Chuyi. After the call, she prepared to call Ye Chuyi.

Wen Xingye watched her every move closely and hastily said when she was about to call Ye Chuyi, "Jinyu, don’t tell Xiaoyi about our fake divorce, lest she take it to heart and get upset."

Ye Jinyu nodded, "Okay, I won’t tell her."

After saying that, she called Ye Chuyi and briefly explained that she had something to do and couldn’t personally bring lunch, so she had to send the driver instead.

Wen Xingye hailed a taxi as soon as she hung up the phone and hurried her into the car without waiting for her driver.

He didn’t want Ye Jinyu to tell Ye Chuyi about the fake divorce, not because he was afraid of Ye Chuyi getting sad, but because he feared that if Ye Chuyi knew about the ten billion, she would compete with him for it!

Ye Chuyi resembled her uncle Ye Zhengrong a lot; she liked competing with him for assets. He definitely had to keep this from Ye Chuyi this time; otherwise, he might not be able to secure the money.

After arriving at the Civil Affairs Bureau, the two of them filled out the forms.

At the last moment of signing, Wen Xingye couldn’t help but ask Ye Jinyu one more time, "Your dad really will give me ten billion in compensation, right?"

"Really."

"That’s good."

Wen Xingye sighed with relief, then signed with great ambition and collected the divorce certificate.

Ye Jinyu got the divorce certificate and also breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t expect it to be so smooth.

More importantly, while filling out the forms, Wen Xingye, wanting to assure her, had already written down his voluntary renunciation of all property.

For that ten billion, he had written those words particularly gleefully.

With the divorce certificate in hand, Wen Xingye couldn’t wait to get back and tell his mistress and son, although the son might not understand, but he was too happy and had to share the news with his son!

He said with a flushed face, "Jinyu, go home. I still have a dinner engagement with investors, I’ll leave first."

 

Chapter 402 I lied to him

Wen Xingye finished speaking, hailed a taxi, and left.

Ye Jinyu stood alone at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, took out her phone, and blocked and deleted all contact methods associated with Wen Xingye.

After completing all this, she hailed a cab and returned to Dome Hospital to find her daughter.

Ye Chuyi had just finished lunch when she saw her, a bit surprised, "Mom, didn’t you say you had something and weren’t coming?" noveldrama

Ye Jinyu smiled at her, "Indeed, I had something to do, but it’s all done now."

Ye Chuyi was curious, "What did you go to do?"

"I went to get a divorce certificate."

Ye Chuyi was shocked, "What?!"

When had her mom become so efficient, getting a divorce just like that?

"Wen Xingye agreed to the divorce so easily?"

Looking at her daughter’s surprised face, Ye Jinyu finally felt that she wasn’t completely useless; she had finally managed a big deal without relying on anyone else.

She said with a smile, "He initiated the divorce because I lied to him, saying that as long as he divorced me, your grandfather would compensate him with a billion. Then he himself suggested that we have a fake divorce."

"A fake divorce but a real certificate?"

"Right."

"He walked right into the trap you set?"

"Yes."

Ye Chuyi looked at Ye Jinyu in amazement and then gave her a thumbs up, "Mom, I didn’t know you were so capable, so smart! This scheme is really good, even perfect! You’re not unintelligent, you just used to trust people too easily. With a little caution, you’re impressively strong."

Ye Jinyu blushed from her daughter’s praise but didn’t take the credit, speaking the truth, "I definitely couldn’t have come up with such a good idea myself, it’s because these past few days I really wanted to divorce, consulted a lawyer, and it was the lawyer who gave me the idea."

Ye Chuyi hugged her, her tone full of joy, "Though it was the lawyer’s idea, you executed it exceptionally well! Mom, congratulations on leaving a scumbag, and now your life is clear!"

Ye Jinyu was also happy in her heart. Before, she thought divorce would be painful, but after actually getting divorced, she didn’t feel pain, only an indescribable sense of relief.

Moreover, she could feel that her daughter was getting closer and closer to her.

This closeness was something she could never feel from Wen Nianyou.

So this was what it felt like to have a caring biological daughter.

She hugged Ye Chuyi for a while, then took out the divorce certificate from her bag to show her, "After divorcing me, Wen Xingye was so excited and couldn’t wait to leave; he took a cab immediately. He said he had a meal with investors."

"But I know he lied to me, he doesn’t have investors now, even if he did, it’s past mealtime now, how could he have a meal this hour? I guess he might have gone back to his lover."

"He’s become too conceited, thinking he can get a billion, so he just left me at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. But what he doesn’t know is that, right after he left, I blocked all his contact methods."

Ye Chuyi looked at her with a smile, "I think your guess is correct. I’ve noticed that after you stopped loving him, your IQ has soared, you’re now comparable to Sherlock Holmes."

Ye Jinyu laughed, pinched her daughter’s cheek, "You sure know how to flatter me, almost sending me to the skies. Okay, I won’t disturb your work anymore; I’m going home. I still have to tell your grandfather and your two uncles about this so they won’t be cheated by Wen Xingye."

Ye Chuyi felt that the three men from the Ye Family wouldn’t possibly get fooled by Wen Xingye, but she didn’t say anything, just smilingly sent her mother off.

Evening.

Just as Ye Chuyi was about to leave work, someone pounded fiercely on the door of her office.

She opened the door and saw Wen Xingye.

He was drenched in sweat, his face anxious, and as soon as he saw her, he hastily asked, "Xiaoyi, where’s your mom? I can’t get in touch with her anymore. She couldn’t have gotten into some trouble, could she?"

Ye Chuyi pretended to know nothing, frowning, "My mom is staying with my grandfather now, how could she be in trouble, why would you say that?"

 

Chapter 403: I Am Uncivilized

Wen Xingye didn’t dare to say he dragged Ye Jinyu to get divorce procedures for a billion in compensation, so he had to beat around the bush, "I was still with her at noon today, and she has already forgiven me. She said she doesn’t mind my affair with Xinxin, and she wants to continue living with me, so it’s impossible that she suddenly can’t be contacted, something must have happened!"

"Wen Xingye, why do you speak so unpleasantly, do you have to be happy only if my mom is in trouble? I told you, my mom can’t be in trouble, don’t waste my time here, go find your Xinxin. I get annoyed just seeing you."

"Do you think I want to come to you? I couldn’t reach your mom, I had no choice but to come to you!"

Wen Xingye’s face looked very unpleasant, "Also, I’m your dad. How can you call me by my name like that, you’re totally without manners!"

"I am without manners, after all, I was fathered but not raised by my dad, raised by a sinister maid and a murderer, what manners can I have? I don’t have manners, isn’t it thanks to you? How can you still have the face to scold me? Are you scolding yourself?"

"You! How can you talk like that!"

"That’s just how I talk, did I say something wrong? What kind of dad are you? For your lover, you handed me over to creditors, I haven’t even settled accounts with you yet, and here you dare show up, aren’t you afraid I’ll beat you with a stick?"

Wen Xingye knew she disliked him, so he was mentally prepared before coming, but he didn’t expect that even then, he would still end up blushing with anger.

"All my real estate has been frozen, did you do it? My company was also taken by you, even the real estate under Xinxin’s name was taken by you! You’re nothing but a bandit; I was good not to give you a beating, and yet you think of striking me?"

Wen Xingye remembered all the wealth he had arduously transferred away over the years was gone, his heart ached as if bleeding, he couldn’t understand, how could the naive, easy-going Ye Jinyu give birth to a scheming daughter like Chuyi!

"Hurry up and return all my assets, and my company! Those are many years of my hard work, do you think you can just take them away?"

Chuyi sneered, "What many years of hard work, it’s clearly years of scheming, transferring assets. You never intended to stay with my mom, you just saw her utility, thus maintained the marriage."

"Even if it goes to court, those assets you transferred would still end up with my mom, not to mention the villa you secretly bought for your lover, that was originally my mom’s, now it’s righteously returned to its rightful owner!"

"Also, I warn you to stay away from my mom, tell your lover and son to stay away too, if you dare show up in front of her again, I will make sure you can’t even rent a house, and all three of you can sleep under a bridge!"

Wen Xingye’s face changed, "How do you know we are renting a house now? Are you spying on Xinxin and Yangyang?"

"Spying? Are they worth it? Just a mistress, not worth my effort."

Chuyi pushed him out, "If you and your lover don’t bother me and my mom from now on, I can give you a way out, otherwise, forget about living in peace ever again!"

Wen Xingye was infuriated beyond measure, "What are you supposed to be! How dare you meddle in matters between Jinyu and me? You are just greedy, wanting to swallow our property, so you’re playing the good guy here! Jinyu is deceived by you, that’s why she made a fuss, she never used to be like this!"

"Think whatever you want, you won’t get a penny of my mom’s property, you and that woman have enjoyed a lavish life for so many years, that’s already a huge gain, don’t be shameless now."

After Chuyi spoke, she left the office, locked the door, and walked away.

Wen Xingye stood there, watching her leave with a dark gaze.

He clenched his fists tightly, realizing he would gain nothing from Chuyi, and if he wanted any benefits, he still had to seek out Ye Jinyu. noveldrama

He left the hospital, hailed a taxi, and headed straight to the Ye family ancestral home.

But when he arrived, not to mention seeing Ye Jinyu, he wasn’t even allowed through the main gate, and was directly sent away.

He returned to the rented house with a sullen face.

Upon entering, he was surprised to see Chuyi confidently standing in their living room!

Xin Xin was holding Wen Yang, and both mother and son were crying.

 

Chapter 404: Are You Going to Buy Them a New Villa?

Wen Xingye’s blood pressure skyrocketed in an instant, and he was both shocked and furious, "Ye Chuyi, how did you get here?! Is there no law left? You’re so arrogant, running to our house to bully my woman and son!"

But Ye Chuyi just smiled at him nonchalantly, "When did I ever bully your woman and son?"

"You’re still denying it?! Both mother and son have been bullied by you to the point of crying like this, and you still have the nerve to quibble?"

"I just came to view the property, and as soon as I walked in, they started crying. Neurotic, people would think it was for some man’s funeral!"

"You’re the one who’s neurotic! What property are you here to see? This is our house. Get out!"

Ye Chuyi nodded, "It seems certain tenants are very arrogant, treating the rented property as their own, not allowing others to view or buy the house. Fine, I’m leaving."

As she finished speaking and was about to leave, the landlord hurried out of the bathroom, still holding a pipe wrench in his hand, "Miss Ye, don’t go. Don’t listen to his nonsense; this house isn’t his, it’s mine! It’s available for rent or purchase, and you’re always welcome to come and look."

Wen Xingye was taken aback and turned his head to his mistress, "He’s the landlord?"

Xin Xin dabbed at her tears and choked out, "Yes, I rented the place from him. But he suddenly said he was going to sell it and wants to evict us."

As she spoke, she looked fearfully at Ye Chuyi, as if the house were her own.

Wen Xingye couldn’t help but realize that this was Ye Chuyi’s doing, and angrily questioned the landlord, "We’ve already rented the house. If you want to sell it to someone else, you should wait until our lease ends! Bringing someone over now, I can sue you! This seriously disrupts our normal life!"

The landlord looked at him with disdain, "Why are you yelling at me? You only rented for a month and half of that has passed. You only have half a month’s lease left. I asked your woman if she wanted to continue the lease, and she said no! Of course, I have to quickly find a new tenant. Miss Ye is willing to pay more for my house, so what’s wrong with me showing her the place?"

"She didn’t say anything after she arrived, just stood in the living room for a look, and your woman and child started crying for no reason. Then you come back and try to kick out the buyer of my house. You really don’t want to make it easy for me to sell, do you?"

Wen Xingye was lashed with a tongue-lashing from the landlord to the point that his face was sprayed with spit.

He wiped his face and looked at his mistress, "Is that true? Ye Chuyi really didn’t say or do anything?"

Xin Xin bit her lip and nodded stiffly. noveldrama

Wen Xingye’s nostrils flared with anger, "Then why were you hugging your son and crying? I thought you were being bullied!"

Xin Xin started to tear up again, "I, I was just scared, and so was my son when he saw her, so we just cried. I couldn’t even comfort him properly, I don’t know what happened."

Ye Chuyi scoffed, "This is the first time I’ve heard that I look so frightening and intimidating that children cry when they see me. Your son is the first."

By now, Wen Xingye knew there was nothing seriously wrong with his mistress and son, but the house was a serious matter. His brows furrowed tightly, "Xinxin, you’ve only rented this place for a month? Why so short? And why didn’t you renew the lease?"

Xin Xin sobbed, "I thought our stay here was just a temporary transition, and that we would soon move back to the villa, so I didn’t rent for too long, otherwise it would be a waste of money."

"And besides, didn’t you say when you came back this afternoon that you would soon have money? You said you were going to buy a new villa for me and my son. Why would I renew the lease for this shabby place? There isn’t even a floor-to-ceiling window here, and even the pipes are broken, how can anyone live here?"

At those words, both the landlord and Ye Chuyi’s faces turned cold.

Landlord: "Shabby place? My house is in very good condition, new and bright. This was originally prepared as a wedding home for my son! The pipes were broken by you!"

Ye Chuyi: "Wen Xingye, you’ll have money soon? Where is this money coming from? And you’re going to buy them a new villa? You’re so generous, why don’t you buy one for my mother and me? Just you wait, I’m going to tell my mother about this!"

 

Chapter 405: True Nature Completely Revealed

Wen Xingye’s face had gone beyond unsightly.

He scolded Xin Xin somewhat violently, "Shut your mouth, spouting nonsense! Where do I have money? Don’t ruin me!"

Of course, Xin Xin said that intentionally for Ye Chuyi to hear. Wen Xingye had come back in the afternoon saying that he had divorced Ye Jinyu and that the Ye Family would soon give him a billion as compensation. They were going to be rich! noveldrama

She looked at Ye Chuyi with an innocent face, yet her tone was laced with the smugness of a villain triumphing: "He’s already divorced your mom. They have no relationship now, so how much money he has is none of your business. He’s buying us a villa, and we rightfully deserve it. Who told you to be just a daughter?"

While speaking, she patted Wen Yang’s head, "I gave birth to a son, after all—someone to carry on the family line. You can’t compare to that."

Ye Chuyi gave her a cold glance, then turned to Wen Xingye: "Is what she said true? You’ve divorced my mom? Didn’t you just tell me in the hospital that you wanted to live well with my mom? Wen Xingye, are you lying to me? Lying to my mom?"

Wen Xingye’s face was ashen. He’d never expected Xin Xin to blurt out the matter in front of Ye Chuyi!

He was absolutely furious.

The thoughtless thing! If Ye Chuyi knew about this, he was doomed!

Couldn’t she wait until they got the money before showing off? The money wasn’t even in hand yet, and she was already boasting, afraid that Ye Chuyi didn’t know he had tricked Ye Jinyu!

He gritted his teeth and said, "It’s not true, I’m not divorced from your mom, Xin Xin is spouting nonsense, don’t believe her."

Xin Xin panicked: "I’m not spouting nonsense; it’s true, he told me himself, he’s divorced your mom! From now on, I’m not the other woman. I’m his lawful wife! Ye Chuyi, you’ll have to call me mom in the future!"

Wen Xingye roared, "Shut your mouth!"

Ye Chuyi responded with an icy demeanor: "Miss Xin, being too ignorant of oneself can lead to a quick demise, you know? Expecting me to call you mom, do you really think you’re worthy? Before you say that again next time, take a look at yourself in the mirror—oh, I forgot, you have no shame, looking in it would be pointless."

"Wen Xingye, you’re a perfect match for her, no wonder you got together. Since you’ve divorced my mom, we have nothing to do with each other from now on. If you dare to bother my mom again, dare to scam her for money, I’ll have someone break your legs and let Miss Xin take care of you forever."

Having said that, she turned and left.

The landlord had finally understood their relationship, but he didn’t care about that at the moment. He angrily said, "Since you look down on my house so much, then get out immediately! I’m not renting to you anymore!"

Wen Xingye had no mood to deal with the landlord. He directly pushed the landlord out the door, locked it, and ignored however much the landlord knocked.

He stared at Xin Xin with a sinister gaze: "Who let you say these things in front of Ye Chuyi? Didn’t I tell you that you absolutely mustn’t let Ye Chuyi know about this?"

Xin Xin felt chills under his stare and retreated back, holding her son: "I, I just figured since you had Ye Jinyu in your grip, it wouldn’t matter if Ye Chuyi found out. Even if I didn’t say it, Ye Jinyu definitely would have told her, right? She would’ve known sooner or later. I just let her know a bit earlier."

"Slap!"

Wen Xingye gave her a vicious slap, then, amid her screaming, grabbed her hair: "Ye Jinyu didn’t tell her, she knew nothing! Now, you’ve ruined my plan! Those ten billion, I might not be able to get them now!"

Xin Xin’s scalp hurt from the pulling, and she cried out: "Let go of me first, you’re hurting me!"

The one-year-old Wen Yang was terrified and also began to cry loudly.

Wen Xingye found Xin Xin repulsive by then, and thus looked at the son she bore with the same dismay. He suddenly covered Wen Yang’s mouth, silencing the piercing cries.

"I couldn’t contact Ye Jinyu this afternoon; there must’ve been a problem on her end. But now, with Ye Chuyi involved, all my meticulous planning is ruined!"

"You idiot, ruining everything. What will you gain? You’re just a parasite living off me, nothing without my support. You’re just a poor woman who would sell her body!"

"I thought you were a good and obedient girl, was it all an act? Do you just have schemes and tricks in your belly?"

"The next time, without my permission, if you dare to talk nonsense in front of Ye Chuyi and mess up my grand plan, get lost! Did you hear me clearly?"

Xin Xin, frightened, nodded repeatedly: "I heard you, I won’t dare again!"

 

Chapter 406: How Many Children Do You Want?

Ye Chuyi left Wen Xingye’s place and called her mother. She relayed everything Xin Xin had said and told her not to bring food to the hospital for the time being to avoid being hassled by Wen Xingye.

After hanging up, Ye Chuyi drove back home.

When she arrived, Sheng Tingyuan was already waiting for her at home. He opened the car door and asked, "Where have you been? I went to the hospital to pick you up but didn’t find you."

Ye Chuyi got out of the car and hugged him proactively, "I went to deal with a small matter. Why didn’t you tell me you were coming to pick me up? If you had told me, you wouldn’t have had to go there for nothing."

Sheng Tingyuan felt exceptionally warm inside from her hug; he couldn’t help but lower his head and kiss her, "It’s okay to make a wasted trip, as long as you come home. I wouldn’t mind making countless trips."

Ye Chuyi felt a sourness in her heart. He was a wealthy family’s young master, how could he be so humble.

She began to reflect on herself, wondering if she had been too harsh on him, making him feel so insecure. noveldrama

"Next time I’m late coming home, I’ll tell you in advance. Today I went to cause trouble for Wen Xingye and his lover, that’s why I left the hospital early and came home late. I guess they are arguing right now; I enjoy making them argue."

This was the first time she had voluntarily disclosed her whereabouts to him. Sheng Tingyuan felt her change and hugged her tightly, "Next time you can call me to join you; we can enjoy the spectacle together."

He wanted to accompany her in everything she enjoyed doing; if she wanted to cause trouble for someone, he could assist her; if she wanted to watch others argue, he could add fuel to the fire.

Ye Chuyi looked up at him with a radiant smile, "Okay, next time I’ll call you to join."

Auntie Wang poked her head out from the living room, "Young Master, Young Madam, dinner is ready. You can come to eat now."

Ye Chuyi then let go of Sheng Tingyuan’s waist, "Time to eat!"

Sheng Tingyuan smiled and took her into the living room.

Auntie Wang discreetly left work.

After dinner, Sheng Tingyuan took Ye Chuyi out for a walk.

This was the first time the two had gone for a walk when it wasn’t raining. Ye Chuyi then realized that many people also came out for walks at night.

Most were couples with a child. Watching each small family, Ye Chuyi suddenly felt that such a life seemed quite peaceful and happy.

She turned to Sheng Tingyuan and asked, "How many children do you want?"

Sheng Tingyuan had always wanted a child, so much so that one could say it was the purpose of his marriage, just to put his mother at ease.

However, he had only mentioned this when they first met, and after getting married, he didn’t bring it up again.

"Anything is fine, it’s up to you."

Sheng Tingyuan held her hand, walking on the seaside boardwalk, his voice deep and tender, "If you like children, then we can have them. If you don’t like children, we can also choose not to."

Ye Chuyi looked at him in surprise, "I can choose not to?"

"Of course."

"What about your mother, can you explain it to her?"

"I can handle it, you don’t need to worry. I’ve already told her that you are not Ye Zhengrong’s daughter, you aren’t Ye Shuangyin; you are the little girl I’ve been searching for. She knew very early on that I gave you the Jade Pendant, actually, that was her dowry and also what she prepared to give to her future daughter-in-law."

Ye Chuyi was startled, "What? That was her dowry? Why didn’t you tell me when we were young? Did you already want me as your bride back then?"

Sheng Tingyuan chuckled softly, "Not really, I hadn’t thought that far ahead back then. I also didn’t know it was my mom’s dowry. I’ve been wearing that pendant since I was young; I wanted to give you a token, so I gave it to you. Isn’t it like that in TV dramas? Give a special treasure when young, and recognize each other by it when grown up."

Ye Chuyi replied, "You watched too many TV shows when you were young..."

Sheng Tingyuan helplessly said, "It was my mom who loved watching them; I was forced to watch some cheesy plots and then I remembered them."

 

Chapter 407: Love You So Much

Ye Chuyi touched the Jade Pendant hanging on her chest with some cherish, "So it has a special meaning, I should keep it at home, won’t it be bad if it gets knocked or bumped while I wear it out?"

"No problem, wear it! It’s pretty durable; I wore it for so many years and it never broke, it’s really sturdy, don’t worry."

Sheng Tingyuan didn’t care much about the Jade Pendant anymore. After all, he had found the person he was looking for, right by his side, and he felt there couldn’t be a better ending than this.

The jade was not important, she was.

He now understood why she wouldn’t accept red envelopes or other gifts, accepting only the jade bracelet her mother gave her because its material was the same as the Jade Pendant. It reminded her of him, as he’d left a conspicuous mark in her life. So when she saw a jade bracelet of the same material as the Jade Pendant, she couldn’t resist wanting to collect it.

He remembered when she got the jade bracelet, she even asked, "Is this kind of jade common?"

Unfortunately, he wasn’t astute enough to realize the real reason she asked that question; he thought at the time that she just simply liked Imperial Green.

After the walk, the two of them held hands and went home.

Ye Chuyi took some clothes to change into and entered the bathroom, but just as she was about to close the door, she saw Sheng Tingyuan come in as well.

Her face instantly turned red, "What are you doing, get out."

Sheng Tingyuan’s eyes were deep, "Let’s shower together."

Ye Chuyi’s face turned even redder, and she pushed him out, "No, I’ll take my shower, and you take yours."

Sheng Tingyuan actually knew she wouldn’t agree, he was just teasing her. After she pushed him out of the bathroom, he smiled and turned to go to the bathroom in the next room.

He showered quickly and ten minutes later, he had already changed into silk pajamas and was sitting on the sofa in the bedroom.

After waiting for a while, Ye Chuyi came out.

He put down his phone, looked up at her, "Come here."

Ye Chuyi obediently walked over to him, then he pulled her directly onto his lap.

The bandage on her neck was gently peeled off, and it was only then that she saw new bandages and ointment already laid out on the table next to the sofa.

He took a cotton swab and carefully disinfected her wound, applied the medicine, and then affixed a new bandage.

He was very attentive, and his movements were gentle, as if handling some precious porcelain.

Ye Chuyi couldn’t help but say, "You don’t need to apply the bandage anymore, they’re just two shallow cuts, I can’t even feel the pain, they’re almost healed." noveldrama

Sheng Tingyuan carried her to bed, "Keep it on for two more days, it’s not healed yet, to prevent infection."

Ye Chuyi lay on the bed, moved closer to him on her own, and after he turned off the lights and lay down, she whispered, "Sheng Tingyuan, let’s have a child. Seeing a family of three out for a walk tonight felt so warm and happy."

Sheng Tingyuan wrapped his arm around her waist, kissing her while speaking, "I thought you didn’t want to have children."

"I do want children."

"Okay, then we’ll wait a few more days."

Ye Chuyi didn’t catch on, "Wait a few days for what?"

Sheng Tingyuan chuckled deeply, "When the cuts on your neck are healed, we’ll have one."

Ye Chuyi then understood what he meant.

Her cheeks burned, and she pushed Sheng Tingyuan away.

Sheng Tingyuan laughed and pursued her, embracing her waist again and pressing her onto his body, "Do you feel it? Do you know how much willpower I need to have to hold back with you in my arms? If you weren’t injured, I wouldn’t have taken you out for a walk, we would have gone straight back to the bedroom, and I would have devoured you."

Ye Chuyi, embarrassed by his candor and even though the lights were off, felt too shy to lift her head.

She put her hand over his mouth, "Stop talking."

Sheng Tingyuan seized the opportunity to kiss her fingers, causing her to abruptly retract her hand as if electrocuted.

He held her and kissed her deeply, only letting her go when she was panting for breath, "Ye Chuyi, do you like me?"

Ye Chuyi’s heart pounded violently. He had asked this question once before; in fact, she had liked him even then, she was just too shy to say it.

Now—

"I do."

As she spoke, she leaned in to kiss his chin.

This satisfied Sheng Tingyuan, and he held her tightly in his arms, "I love you, very much."

 

Chapter 408 Let’s Go on a Honeymoon

A restful night’s sleep.

When Ye Chuyi woke up the next day, the alarm clock had not yet rung.

She was sleeping in Sheng Tingyuan’s arms and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw his handsome and perfect face.

She couldn’t help but smile, very pleased with her husband. Seeing him, it felt as if the world had become three times more beautiful!

She leaned in to give him a kiss, then turned to get out of bed, only to be pulled back in.

Ye Chuyi exclaimed in surprise, "You’re awake? If you were awake, why did you pretend to sleep?"

Sheng Tingyuan hugged her entire body on top of his, his voice hoarse and sexy from just waking up, "Otherwise, how could I trick you into kissing me secretly?"

Ye Chuyi lay on top of him, suddenly not wanting to get up anymore.

She finally understood why there were lines like "From this day forward, the king doesn’t rise early."

In the past, she was so diligent and so passionate about her work that she never imagined one day she would want to stay entwined with a man, not wanting to go to work.

And it seemed not just her, but Sheng Tingyuan also didn’t look much like he was eager to go to work.

The two of them embraced like this, quietly savoring the bliss of having each other. He didn’t mind her weight, not letting her down at all.

What broke this peaceful moment was Ye Chuyi’s alarm clock.

It rang on time as always, pulling Ye Chuyi from her dream of "not rising early."

Sheng Tingyuan turned off the alarm for her and asked, "Are you going to work today?"

Ye Chuyi chuckled, "If not for work, what else?"

"I’ll take you out to play."

"No, I have to work, I have a surgery today, the patient can’t wait." noveldrama

"When can you take a break then? Let’s go on a honeymoon. We haven’t arranged that since we got married, and I think it’s time to plan it."

Ye Chuyi hesitated. She had never really arranged any rest time for herself before. Even if there was no surgery at the hospital, she would sit in charge at Jungle, busy without ever giving herself a break.

Seeing her expression, Sheng Tingyuan knew she had no rest time, and he said with a mix of helplessness and humor, "Why are you busier than me? People can’t just work without rest. What’s the difference between that and a machine? You should enjoy life properly. Go to the hospital today and arrange your work; in a few days, I’ll take you on vacation."

"Vacation..."

Ye Chui found the word strange but also inexplicably looked forward to it: "It seems... I really should take a break."

Seeing her anticipation, Sheng Tingyuan asked her, "Do you have any places in mind you’d like to visit?"

Ye Chuyi’s eyes lit up, "I want to go to a place with beautiful scenery, to see the giant pandas. I’ve never seen a real giant panda!"

She had never really gone on a vacation before, and she hardly ever left her city, even for study or work.

"Alright, I’ll take you to see them," Sheng Tingyuan answered warmly.

Three days later.

Ye Chuyi boarded Sheng Tingyuan’s private plane and went on vacation with him.

Their first stop was the giant panda base.

For the first time in her life, Ye Chuyi finally saw real giant pandas. They were even cuter and more adorable than in photos and videos, with their round bodies and fluffy fur, they won the hearts of countless people on appearance alone.

However, they were also more voracious eaters than Ye Chuyi had imagined, indifferent to visitors, sometimes even turning their backs on them, concentrating all their attention on the big pile of bamboo and bamboo shoots.

Ye Chuyi felt she could spend an entire day just watching the giant pandas eat bamboo shoots.

After watching the pandas, Sheng Tingyuan took her to the forest wildlife park.

It was also Ye Chuyi’s first time visiting a zoo.

As a child, she had envied other kids who had parents to take them to zoos, botanical gardens, and amusement parks, but she never dared ask Lin Yueqin to take her, knowing she would not only refuse but might also feel bothered and give her a scolding.

The zoo Sheng Tingyuan brought her to was very large, where visitors could drive in and watch various animals and plants up close.

Ye Chuyi spent most of the day inside, and it was only when the zoo was about to close that she left, still not ready to go.

 

Chapter 409: He’s Not a Beast

The next day, Sheng Tingyuan took Ye Chuyi to the amusement park again.

He knew that she hadn’t experienced such things in her childhood, so he decided to make up for that during their honeymoon. He even treated her like a child, buying her bunny ear headbands, cartoon dolls, magic wands, and even a cute little backpack filled with snacks and candies.

He took her to try various rides, and Ye Chuyi felt happier than she ever had before. Here, she seemed to become a carefree child, and the missing pieces of her childhood were slowly being filled.

In the evening, he took her to see a spectacular and beautiful fireworks display.

Ye Chuyi watched the fireworks bursting in the night sky and, cheering, hugged Sheng Tingyuan tightly. "It’s so beautiful, I’m so happy!"

Sheng Tingyuan hugged her back and laughed. He thought Ye Chuyi these past two days had been like a child, finding everything new and exciting, happy about everything. She finally showed her naive and carefree side, which made his heart melt completely.

He secretly decided in his heart that in the future, he would take her to see all the beautiful scenery in the world, to experience all sorts of happiness. What she missed out on in her childhood, he would make sure she had, what she couldn’t have before, he would ensure she got it all.

Five days later, the vacation ended, and the two of them took a private plane back home.

Ye Chuyi laughed as she watched Sheng Tingyuan’s assistant bring in lots of big and small packages into the living room. "We seem to have bought too many random things."

Sheng Tingyuan personally unpacked and neatly arranged the souvenirs they brought back. "Not too many, just four suitcases. Our home is so empty, you can continue to shop and eventually fill it up."

Ye Chuyi also started organizing the miscellaneous trinkets she had bought, while doing so, she said, "No more, no more, this is enough already."

Indeed, they had bought a lot. It was her first time traveling, and she felt curious about everything she saw.

As a result, everything she showed extra interest in, Sheng Tingyuan bought for her.

After organizing the souvenirs, Ye Chuyi collapsed onto the sofa. "Sheng Tingyuan, next time don’t let me buy so much!"

Sheng Tingyuan still seemed full of energy. He handed her a glass of water, "Wife, our house can afford it, what’s wrong with buying more? Don’t try to save money for me."

Ye Chuyi couldn’t help but laugh and cry. Having a too generous husband seemed not so great either! noveldrama

She drank some water then lay back down on the sofa.

Sheng Tingyuan picked her up horizontally and walked upstairs, "Go to the bedroom to sleep, it’s not comfortable resting on the sofa."

Ye Chuyi looked at him warily, "Are you really letting me sleep? You won’t make a move, will you?"

Sheng Tingyuan laughed out loud, "When have I ever made a move?"

Ye Chuyi glared at him. "You still have the nerve to ask!"

During these days of vacation, he hadn’t spared her a single day.

She didn’t understand why he was so energetic. He spent the days accompanying her around various places, and after returning to the hotel each night, he would pounce like a starving wolf, devouring her until almost no bones were left.

Every night, she had only been able to fall asleep in the wee hours, and even then, that was after pleading with him multiple times to stop.

She was now afraid of him, not daring to share a bed with him.

Sheng Tingyuan was rebuked by her fiery glare, feeling slightly guilty; he had indeed indulged a bit too much the past few days.

"Today, I’ll really let you sleep, won’t trouble you."

He wasn’t a brute, right?

Letting her rest for one night was possible. He could endure it!

 

Chapter 410: Good Morning, Big Bad Wolf

Sheng Tingyuan was a man of his word, and indeed, he did not mess around that night, allowing Ye Chuyi to have a good sleep.

But it was only for that day.

The second night after they returned from their trip, he turned into a wolf again, pulling Ye Chuyi to try new things.

And he seemed never to be satisfied, his energy so great it scared Ye Chuyi.

After bathing, she curled up in his arms, and seeing that he was about to start again, she quickly held him back, "Sheng Tingyuan!"

Sheng Tingyuan kissed her forehead and her cheeks, his long, warm fingers caressing her spine, "What’s wrong, wife, don’t you like it?"

Ye Chuyi’s face flushed and her heart raced. It wasn’t that she didn’t like it, but there should be a limit to everything. She considered herself to have decent stamina, but he tired her out, leaving her body sore and weak; she had almost been unable to stand while bathing just now.

She had also realized today that during their previous travels, he had not been fully exerting himself.

Her voice was a bit weak too, "Moderate a little, how many times has it been tonight? It’s almost dawn..."

"There’s nothing to moderate, I want to make you happy, let’s do it again..."

As Sheng Tingyuan spoke, he pressed on again.

When they finished again, Ye Chuyi didn’t even want to move a finger.

She let Sheng Tingyuan carry her into the bathroom, allowing him to shower her without pushing him away, for she simply had no energy left.

Sheng Tingyuan watched her tender, easy-to-bully appearance and almost couldn’t resist teasing her once more.

She probably didn’t realize it herself, but her cheeks bore an abnormal pink hue, and her lips were plump and pink like a delicious peach, very tempting.

But she looked at him with a bit of resentment in her eyes, so he didn’t dare to continue. After the shower, he carried her back to the bedroom.

Ye Chuyi, fearing he would start again, lay far from him on the bed and even placed a pillow between them to separate them.

Sheng Tingyuan chuckled, removed the pillow, chased after her, and scooped her into his arms, "Call me ’brother’, and I’ll let you go."

Ye Chuyi’s chest heaved, she bit her lip for a while, and finally murmured softly, "Brother..."

Sheng Tingyuan was satisfied, kissing her forehead, "Good girl, sleep."

When she was little, she always used to call him that, and back then, he felt nothing. But now, hearing her say it brought a different kind of delight.

The person in his arms quickly fell asleep, yet he held her, carefully studying her face, unwilling to sleep.

This condition of his had actually persisted for quite a while. Every time he saw her in his arms, he felt an intense sense of happiness. Sometimes, it was so overwhelming and blissful that he feared it was a dream, and thus, he was reluctant to sleep, worried that he would wake up and she’d be gone.

The night swiftly passed.

The next morning, as soon as Sheng Tingyuan opened his eyes and saw the person still in his arms, a feeling of satisfaction surged within him.

It was wonderful to wake up and see her every day.

The alarm sounded, and Ye Chuyi groggily opened her eyes. Still not fully awake, she kissed Sheng Tingyuan first—something he had strongly requested a few days ago, which he called a morning kiss. noveldrama

Sheng Tingyuan turned off the alarm and also gave her a kiss, "Morning, wife."

Ye Chuyi struggled to sit up, "Morning, big bad wolf."

Sheng Tingyuan laughed. Had he really turned into a wolf in her heart?

They got up, washed up, had breakfast, and then Ye Chuyi got into her car, ready to go to work.

Sheng Tingyuan leaned into the car window, kissed her, "Little Rabbit, drive slowly, remember to come home early tonight."

Ye Chuyi laughed while giving him an annoyed look; she certainly didn’t want to come home early!

Working at the hospital was way more relaxing than coping with him!

She stepped on the gas and left the villa for the hospital.

After a day of surgeries, Ye Chuyi was extremely tired.

In the evening, she sat in her office eating chocolate, which, as of now, were all bought by Sheng Tingyuan. Her drawer was also filled with other snacks and drinks for energy replenishment, all purchased by him.

After finishing the chocolate and drinking a cup of goji berry and date tea, she felt better and was just about to leave work for home when her phone rang.

She answered the call, and Su Shan’s voice came through, "Boss, President Cong is sick, but there’s a charity event tonight that needs our participation. Do you want to attend?"
