CHAPTER 71: BE A LITTLE OBEDIENT

"Don’t worry, President Ye won’t let such a thing happen," Cai Xiaojing said. Unless a certain newspaper company didn’t want to survive, and besides, Wen Nuan’s current fame wasn’t that big, her news value wasn’t high. Who would risk bankruptcy to offend Second Young Master Ye?

Wen Nuan felt much more at ease hearing this.

Looking back, she also felt lingering fear, but now that she was home, she wasn’t in any danger. Wen Nuan smiled brightly. She wanted to forget this incident. There was nothing she couldn’t face. Remembering it would only make her suffer.

"In short, it’s good that you’re alright. Leave the rest of the problem to us to handle."

"It’s not me who’s not alright," Wen Nuan said with a smile. "I smashed that pig with a wine bottle and stabbed him twice with the broken glass. I really regret not aiming lower when I was mad. If I had another chance, I would have stabbed him right in his crotch."

Cai Xiaojing: "..."

So ruthless!

She couldn’t tell that the gentle and delicate Wen Nuan had such explosive power. Impressive.

"Wait, if Brother Xiong refuses to let it go, you’ll be in legal trouble," Cai Xiaojing exclaimed, lightly hitting Wen Nuan’s thigh. "Why were you so impulsive?"

"That pig was going to rape me in front of so many people! I was lucky I didn’t stab him to death, okay?" Wen Nuan couldn’t help but retort. She didn’t know where she got the courage at the time. Her head was in a daze, and she just stabbed him. It was her first time hurting someone, and she felt terrible, but she couldn’t care about so much at the time. So, a person’s violence and bloodthirst are all forced out.

"You... never mind, never mind, let’s not talk about it. Let’s see the news tomorrow," Cai Xiaojing said, glancing at Wen Nuan again. "And you, don’t talk to President Ye like that in the future."

"Why can’t I talk to him like that? You also heard how he talked to me, scolding me for acting aloof and pure in front of him, saying I happily went to drink, dine, and sing with people. Which eye of his saw that? He even called me cheap, saying such nasty things. Why can’t I argue back?" Wen Nuan said excitedly, feeling indignant. Her peach blossom eyes were full of anger. Just thinking about Ye Feimo’s words made her feel upset. "Besides, I’ve always talked to him like that."

"He wasn’t targeting you," Cai Xiaojing didn’t know how to explain this to Wen Nuan. Ye Feimo’s scolding was indeed vicious and excessive, but it wasn’t entirely directed at Wen Nuan. "President Ye has just seen too many girls who would do anything to climb up. Besides, he was once... ahem, anyway, he wasn’t deliberately targeting you. He inherently has prejudice against female artists, and then this kind of thing happened, stirring up unpleasant memories for him. It wasn’t intentionally aimed at you. Don’t talk back to him like that next time."

"I’m not a masochist," Wen Nuan muttered. "Who acted in front of him? I’m naturally pure and aloof, okay? He eats my cooking every day and still nitpicks and calls me cheap. I already have a good temper. Tell me, which woman can tolerate his bad temper? He shouldn’t take his bad mood out on me either, saying such nasty things and then not allowing me to talk back."

Cai Xiaojing rubbed her forehead, feeling tearful. Wen Nuan was truly so stubborn that she wanted to bang her head against a wall. As her manager, Cai Xiaojing absolutely didn’t want her to talk back to her sugar daddy.

"Come here, good girl, let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, a female artist was kept by a wealthy businessman. The businessman treated her very well,捧地 her high up, and she became a first-tier actress. One day, the female artist was shopping and took a fancy to a Cartier jewelry piece. She immediately called the businessman to pay for it. The businessman was in the middle of negotiating a very important business deal and was interrupted by her. He was very unhappy. He went into the jewelry store and slapped her twice. He bought the jewelry, but gave it to her as a breakup fee. From then on, the female artist declined. Without anyone to support her, she wasn’t popular anymore and started to go downhill." Cai Xiaojing smiled at Wen Nuan. She felt that Wen Nuan was a very clever girl and would definitely understand her words.

She had been quite subtle.

So when Cai Xiaojing looked at Wen Nuan with very expectant and hopeful eyes, she was so hoping Wen Nuan would say, "Dear Xiaojing-jie, I understand."

Who knew Wen Nuan would look completely blank.

Cai Xiaojing teared up.

Wen Nuan hesitated for a moment and asked, "What does this have to do with me?"

"Haven’t you noticed that you and President Ye are like the female artist and the wealthy businessman?" Cai Xiaojing pointed out the obvious quite directly.

Wen Nuan had just cried, and her eyes were still swollen and red. At this moment, she blinked strangely, slowly, like a movement in an animation. Cai Xiaojing was speechless. Wen Nuan murmured to herself, "Have I already been kept by that pig Ye Feimo?"

Cai Xiaojing gently stroked her head. "Good girl, you’ve finally realized this fact. Be a little more obedient in the future and don’t talk back to your master."

Wen Nuan: "..."

Xiaojing-jie, you must have some unclear family relationship with Ye Feimo... Wuwu, you even talk almost the same.

Police station.

When Third Young Master Ye went to the police station to pick up his wife, he was speechless. Ye Ningyuan wasn’t in A City, but Ye Kelan had reported the incident to him immediately, and the eldest young master was also speechless.

"Wife, in the United States, you usually have people invited to international counter-terrorism for coffee. How come you’re invited to the police station for coffee as soon as you get home?" Ye Ningyuan asked jokingly. A dignified inspector of international counter-terrorism being invited to the police station—where would the international counter-terrorism organization put its face?

Xu Nuo said, "You can’t blame me for this. It was Mom and your son who caused trouble. By the way, Stone, the coffee at the A City police station is so bad. It’s not as good as the coffee at my department."

Ye Ningyuan: "... Isn’t that beside the point?"

Xu Nuo said, "That’s the main point!"

"Alright, did Dad go to pick you up?" Ye Ningyuan asked. All the women in his family were at the police station. This wasn’t a small matter. As for his son, Ye Ningyuan usually didn’t count him in.

"Dad and Fourth Uncle are doing the paperwork," Xu Nuo said. The phone was snatched away by Ye Kelan. "Daddy, Daddy, Second Uncle has a beautiful girlfriend! But she was bullied so badly."

"She definitely isn’t as beautiful as our little princess," Ye Ningyuan said with a smile. The whole family doted on this precious daughter.

Ye Kelan accepted the compliment very unhumbly. "Of course! I’m the most beautiful woman in the world."

Xu Nuo couldn’t stand these two. Cheng Anya teased from the side, "You’re still a little ways from being a woman."

"Grandma, maybe after tonight I’ll be a woman," Ye Kelan pouted.

Ye Ningyuan hurriedly stopped her. "Stop, stop, stop! Quickly get rid of that thought!"
