Too Late to Regret, She’s Now With the Big Boss - Chapter 34

“You’re leaving right now? Whose call? What does he want with you?” Song Yuntao demanded, his eyes bloodshot as he angrily grabbed at Ye Qingyan’s clothes.

“Stop it! Don’t ask so many questions, I need to get ready now!” Ye Qingyan said urgently.

Earlier, to placate him, she had been about to undress, but he had helped her pull her clothes back on. Now he was trying to tear them off again, was he insane?

If it weren’t for Assistant Bai’s invitation, she would’ve gladly indulged him to smooth over the tension from earlier.

But now she had to freshen up to meet Third Master Lu. Everyone in Rongcheng knew that Assistant Bai and Lu Jingyan were inseparable.

She didn’t have time for Song Yuntao’s antics.

As he yanked violently at her clothes, Ye Qingyan scolded him as usual, “Stop it, you lunatic-”

“Ye Qingyan! Just now you called me ‘brother,’ but the moment you got his call, I’m a ‘lunatic’? You! You-”

Song Yuntao’s finger trembled as he pointed at her, too furious to even finish his sentence. His emotions churned like a stormy sea.

“Idiot, are you done yet? I told you, I have something important to do!” Ye Qingyan snapped impatiently.

When he still didn’t let go, she struggled harder, only to shove him so hard he landed on his backside.

Without even glancing at him, she turned and rushed to the bathroom, slamming the door and locking it behind her, afraid he’d barge in.

Being pushed down by the woman he loved, then treated like some intruder, Song Yuntao’s chest heaved with rage, his fingers itching to hit something.

They’d only been married for three days, and already he’d gone from “Brother Yuntao” to “lunatic” and “idiot”?

He stood up and pounded on the bathroom door. Bang! Bang!

“Ye Qingyan, after everything I’ve done for you, this is how you treat me?”

“How am I treating you? Song Yuntao, what’s wrong with you?” she shot back through the door, her patience completely gone.

She couldn’t understand why he was acting like this. Whenever they disagreed before, they’d affectionately call each other “idiot” or “lunatic”, it was just their thing.

“You’re saying I’m the one acting crazy?” Song Yuntao stood outside the bathroom, his chest aching as if stabbed by a knife when he saw how little she cared.

“Ye Qingyan, have I spoiled you too much? So much that you’d push me down just to rush off to see Ye Ruixuan, and I’m not even allowed to ask why?”

Hearing him still hammering at the door, Ye Qingyan worried he’d pin her down the moment she stepped out.

So, from inside the bathroom, she called her sister-in-law and best friend. “Qingqing, get someone to drag your brother out of here, he’s lost his mind!”

At that moment, the entire Song family was in the living room trying to appease the old patriarch, including Song Yunqing, who had her phone on speaker.

“You disgrace, daring to- Butler, get the keys! I’ll see for myself how this unfilial brat has lost his mind!”

The old man roared as he stood abruptly, sending the relatives massaging his back and legs tumbling.

“Dad, please don’t get worked up! Yunhuan, help Grandpa!” The most eager of them, Second Uncle Song, had taken the worst hit and couldn’t get up immediately.

“Grandpa has plenty of people around him. Dad, let me help you up first. As for Eldest Cousin, he really…” Song Yunhuan hurried to her father’s side.

By the time the butler unlocked the newlyweds’ door with the spare key, a furious shout echoed from inside.

“Ye Qingyan, you’re not leaving this house today!”

“Unless I die, or have my legs broken, after all these years of loving you, you dare to cheat on me? I’ll make you wish you were dead!”

Song Yuntao’s gaze at the bathroom door was venomous as he pounded on it in a fit of rage.

“You unfilial grandson!” The old man roared before collapsing onto Song Yuntao’s father and third uncle, who were right behind him.

“Dad! doctor, get the doctor now!” Song Yuntao’s second uncle, who was at the back, screamed in anguish.

“Grandpa!” The grandchildren of the Song family cried out in unison.

Song Yuntao’s father and third uncle carried the old man to the living room on the first floor, while his third aunt stayed behind and calmly instructed, “Yunfan, Yunjie, hold your eldest brother down.”

Ye Qingyan only emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a towel after hearing the commotion outside. “Yunfan, your brother has gone mad. Make sure you hold him tight.”

“Don’t worry, sister-in-law…”

“Yunfan, Yunjie, let me go! She’s going to see Ye Ruixuan!” Song Yuntao bellowed, his eyes bloodshot.

The moment Song Yunjie heard that his sister-in-law was about to cheat on his brother, he recoiled as if burned and immediately released his grip.

Slap! Song Yuntao swung his hand, striking Ye Qingyan so hard that half her face swelled instantly, the pain making her feel as if her face might burst.

“Song Yuntao, you actually hit me? No wonder Ye Qianqian didn’t even cry or protest when you replaced her as the bride, do you often lose your mind like this?”

“I’m losing my mind? Don’t you know exactly why I’m like this?” Song Yuntao’s fury only intensified at her question.

Losing all reason, he roared, “Ye Qingyan, if you insist on going, then get out now! And don’t you dare come back!”

“Fine, I’ll leave. As if anyone here can’t live without the other,” Ye Qingyan retorted before heading to the walk-in closet.

Right now, all she cared about was the unattainable Third Master Lu, the man she could never get close to no matter how hard she tried.

As for Song Yuntao, she was confident that pacifying him would be as easy as calming a dog.

“Mom, eldest brother is really letting sister-in-law go?” Song Yunjie whispered as he sidled up to his mother.

“Are you stupid? Her heart isn’t here, what’s the point of keeping her? Besides, your brother is hopelessly in love with her. He can’t bear to see her upset! Even if she cheats on him, even if she ends up in another man’s bed, your brother will still only have eyes for her! Qianqian treated him so well, devotedly taking care of him for three whole years, yet she didn’t leave so much as a footprint in his heart. Isn’t he just getting what he deserves?”

“Mom, how can you be so sure Qianqian left no mark on eldest brother’s heart?” Song Yunjie asked, equally quiet.

Though the mother and son spoke softly, everyone in the room heard them.

Their words were like knives stabbing into Song Yuntao’s heart.

His rage exploded like a wildfire. “Get out! All of you, get out! You’re only staying to mock me!”

“Hmph. Yunjie, let’s go.” His third aunt sneered. Song Yuntao had known Ye Qingyan for over twenty years.

Yet he couldn’t see that she was nothing more than a rotten, poisonous apple beneath her glamorous exterior. Served him right for being cheated on!

…

Basement of Lanjing Garden Villa.

No matter how furious Lu Jingchen was, he refused to let go of Ye Qianqian. He turned to Bai Lang and Ding Fan, his voice icy.

“Don’t let her pass out before her daughter gets here.”

When he saw Ye Qianqian’s wide, clear eyes staring curiously at him, he thought, Forget it. No use staying angry with her.

[Oh my god! The big boss actually talked himself out of his own anger! He thinks it’s forgivable if the female antagonist doesn’t love him or get jealous!]

[Is this how you console yourself? The logic of a love-struck brain is beyond our comprehension. The big boss is truly different from us mere mortals.]

Ye Qianqian could visibly see the anger in Lu Jingchen’s eyes dissipate in an instant, replaced by a profound sorrow.
