Too Late to Regret, She’s Now With the Big Boss - Chapter 12

“She’s gone mad, absolutely mad! Ye Qianqian has lost her mind!” Second Young Master Song muttered in disbelief, his voice trembling.

He stared at Ye Qianqian, her face full of arrogance, and the fear in his heart grew uncontrollably.

Jealousy drives one mad, this version of Ye Qianqian is terrifying!

With a single sweeping kick, she had sent his friends sprawling onto the ground, howling in pain. His hands shook as he gingerly touched his own face.

The moment his fingers brushed against the stinging slap mark, he winced in agony. Since when did Ye Qianqian, always so meek and timid, become this strong?

Unable to comprehend, Second Young Master Song could only play dead on the ground while his so-called friends continued to groan in pain.

“Keep wailing, and I’ll stomp you to death,” Ye Qianqian threatened in a low voice, pressing her foot down on one man’s stomach.

“……” Instantly, not only did the groans stop, but even the sharp hisses of pain vanished.

Ye Qianqian couldn’t care less about what the men on the ground were thinking. She needed to hurry back to the car. “Consider yourselves lucky today. If there’s a next time, hmph!”

“……”

The men lying on the ground could only watch helplessly as Ye Qianqian strode away, not daring to make a sound.

Inside the car, Bai Lang’s eyes nearly bulged out of his skull at what he had just witnessed. “Sir… was that really Madam who just took down a whole group with one kick?”

“Without a doubt. She’s far from the simple woman you all assume her to be. By the age of seven, she could already take down a grown man,” Lu Jingchen replied, closing the video feed and rolling down the window to gaze fondly at the feisty woman who had just been threatening others.

“If Madam is so capable, why does she endure the insults from the Ye family?” Bai Lang asked, puzzled.

“Don’t be fooled by how she lets anyone in the Ye family push her around… When she strikes, she shows no mercy, not even to family. Only those fools in the Ye family believe she’s some timid little mouse. They don’t realize she’s just clinging to the illusion of familial love.”

“So that’s how it is… No wonder you never stepped in whenever Young Master Ting mentioned Madam being bullied at school!” Bai Lang murmured in realization. He had once thought his boss was petty, allowing others to bully Second Miss Ye out of spite for unrequited love.

“Get out and move to the car behind. Go to the company and bring the important documents to Lanjing Garden Villa.”

“Sir, you’re not going to the office today?” Bai Lang asked in surprise. His boss usually worked even on holidays.

“No. I’ve granted myself three days of marriage leave,” Lu Jingchen replied, his deep voice laced with amusement.

“Sir-” Bai Lang began, but Lu Jingchen cut him off.

“Enough. She’s coming,” Lu Jingchen said, picking up his phone again and pretending to still be on a call.

Bai Lang rolled his eyes at his boss but obediently stepped out of the car. He opened the rear door and said respectfully, “Madam, please.”

“Thank you,” Ye Qianqian replied politely, bending to enter the car while discreetly observing Lu Jingchen’s reaction.

Xiao Feng had rushed inside to fetch Third Brother Ye the moment Ye Qianqian started her rampage. By the time they chased outside, all they saw was Ye Qianqian stepping into a Rolls-Royce Phantom, leaving nothing but a cloud of dust behind.

Inside the car, Ye Qianqian settled into her seat and, seeing that Lu Jingchen was still on his call, finally allowed herself to close her eyes in relief.

“Are you tired, my dear?” Lu Jingchen set his phone aside, his other hand sliding around her slender waist to pull her closer.

“Let me see where you’re hurt,” he murmured, about to inspect her.

But Ye Qianqian stopped his hand. “Don’t… I’m just a little sore all over.”

After speaking, she shyly lowered her head, not daring to look at him, unsure if he had just witnessed her hitting someone.

The warmth of the woman’s palm on the back of his hand made Lu Jingchen’s heartbeat quicken involuntarily.

This was the first time he had ever felt this way. A sudden stir in his heart told him that the person beside him was the one he carried in his thoughts every moment.

Seeing her shy demeanor, he curled his fingers slightly before pulling her into his embrace.

He wanted to lean down and kiss her but feared startling her, so he forced himself to hold back.

[Soft and fragrant in his arms, the big boss is clearly moved but still restraining himself. So sweet!]

[Tsk tsk tsk, those pecs and abs on the big boss, no wonder the female antagonist is eating well.]

[Female antagonist, take the initiative! Don’t wait for the big boss to drag you off to unlock the remaining 100 positions after getting out of the car.]

[If the female antagonist can soothe the big boss now, he might go easy on her and only unlock eight more times today.]

Reading the barrage of comments, Ye Qianqian impulsively pressed her lips to his. Lu Jingchen, thrilled, cupped the back of her head and deepened the kiss.

The cool taste of mint swirled between them like a sweet storm, engulfing them both.

Back at the Grand Hyatt, the guests didn’t seem disheartened by the departure of Third Master Lu.

Instead, some even felt more at ease, raising their glasses in cheerful toasts.

At the main table, Father Song asked with a dark expression, “Yanyan, you’re usually so sensible. Why did you act like this today?”

“How can you blame Yanyan for this, in-law?” Mother Ye, seeing that Third Master Lu had left, brought her eldest and second sons to the newlyweds’ table.

“How is it not her fault? If she hadn’t insisted on approaching Third Master, why would he have left?” Father Song’s authoritative voice was laced with fury.

“Dad~~ I just saw that my sister could get close to Third Master, so I wanted to help the Song family win him over,” Ye Qingyan argued weakly.

“Yanyan, stop talking nonsense. Third Master has never been one for women. Words like these will bring trouble to both the Song and Ye families,” Father Ye said sternly, his face grim.

“Our in-law is right. Third Master probably only showed Qianqian some kindness out of respect for Assistant Bai,” Father Song added, refusing to believe that Third Master Lu would take an interest in a woman his own son had discarded.

Tears clung to Ye Qingyan’s lashes as she looked pitifully at Song Yuntao. “Brother Yuntao, do you also think Yanyan was wrong?”

This time, her tears were genuine. If she had known Ye Qianqian would gain Third Master Lu’s favor, she would never have urged Yuntao to hand her over to Lu Zhenting.

In the past, whenever she clashed with Ye Qianqian, her father and three brothers always took her side even when she was in the wrong.

She had silently reveled in their bias. But ever since Yuntao agreed to marry her, Ye Qianqian had become like a prickly hedgehog.

She dared to stand up to Ye Qingyan now, yet every time they clashed, Ye Qianqian lost because she stood alone, with no one to favor her.

Now that Ye Qianqian had stopped playing their game, everyone turned to blame her. With so many years ahead, what was she to do?

“Don’t cry, Yanyan. It’s not your fault. Let’s go toast with Dad,” Song Yuntao comforted his new bride gently.

He had heard that Third Master Lu favored his assistant, but unlike his father and father-in-law, he didn’t think that was the case.

Instead, he suspected Third Master Lu had shown up to support Qianqian out of regard for Lu Zhenting but he didn’t dare say it aloud.

If his father found out that he had personally delivered Qianqian to Lu Zhenting’s bed, he would surely be beaten to death!

At Lanjing Garden Villa, when Lu Jingchen carried Ye Qianqian through the gates, the butler and servants were already lined up on either side, waiting.

The servants had been astonished to hear that the Third Master was bringing his wife home. Now, as they caught sight of the lady’s face, they couldn’t help but gasp in awe.

She was absolutely stunning!
