Too Late to Regret, She’s Now With the Big Boss - Chapter 46

“Third Master has terrifying hyperthymesia. Does Madam know about it?” Seeing Ye Qianqian calmly watching her without asking, Li Yurou couldn’t contain her anger and questioned.

“I know. Third Master told me. Hyperthymesia, as the name suggests, means an incredibly powerful memory. Isn’t that great?” Ye Qianqian smiled and countered.

“You know? He told you hyperthymesia is good? Then do you know he’s lying to you?”

Li Yurou watched as Ye Qianqian nodded with a smile, then shook her head, looking at her as if she were some meddlesome witch.

Fury burned through her lungs. Maliciously and loudly, she spat out, “Do you know that Third Master, with his hyperthymesia, is a complete lunatic? He’s a control freak. He remembers every detail about you: your every move, every habit, every word you’ve ever said. Everything you’ve done, he remembers it all. He even checks your phone records daily. With him, you have no freedom. Whatever you want to do or say must first be approved by him. We’ve been in this villa for days, and I’ve never once seen you come downstairs. Do you know why? He’s controlling your social life: no friends, no going out. Do you really think a marriage like this has any future?”

Li Yurou’s shrill voice echoed through the villa. The more she spoke, the brighter Ye Qianqian’s smile became.

Furious, Li Yurou blurted out everything Old Madam Lu had complained about to her father.

According to the old madam, Third Master had treated her this way since he was a teenager!

She claimed she was nothing but a pitiful caged bird, her wings brutally clipped by the Lu father and son. Her life was a living nightmare.

But Li Yurou didn’t believe it. At the very least, she could tell Old Madam Lu enjoyed her life in the Lu family.

That was why she wanted to marry Third Master Lu. Who would’ve thought he wouldn’t even spare her a glance? Even peeling her face off was left to Ding Fan.

Li Yurou’s slanderous words made Lu Jingchen, who had been rushing toward the garden, freeze in place, trembling.

Ding Fan, following closely behind, nearly crashed into his back. The icy aura radiating from his master made Ding Fan shiver uncontrollably.

At this critical moment, he didn’t even dare to breathe, inwardly wailing: What kind of people did Uncle Zhang and Bai Lang hire this time?

Are they trying to get us all killed?

And to think he had helped Li Yurou, this lunatic, so much these past few days. How could he have ever thought she was beautiful?

Damn it all!

Holding his breath, Ding Fan had already mentally drafted 108 ways to torture Li Yurou.

[Holy shit! I never heard that this face-peeling woman was such a scheming, two-faced bitch! Rumors, all rumors! I need to help the big shot clear his name.]

[It’s true the big boss has extreme possessiveness and control issues, but when it comes to the female antagonist, he tries his best to suppress those dark impulses.]

[Like right now, hiding behind the garden wall, silently restraining his murderous aura instead of storming out to kill the face-peeling woman.]

[From the moment she uttered her first word, the big boss fury urged him to act, but he held back, afraid of scaring the female antagonist, silently shedding tears alone.]

Ye Qianqian: Husband silently crying?

Unforgivable! Absolutely unforgivable!

“My husband has a wonderful personality: gentle, considerate, and his cooking is absolutely divine. Being with him brings me immense happiness. Every day since we got our marriage certificate, I’ve been able to savor my husband’s passionate love, intense and fervent. When emotions run high, I feel like I’m soaking in a hot spring, enveloped in a daze of affection. A lifetime may not seem long, but it’s not short either. From now on, I’ll slowly relish my husband’s burning love every single day. How dare you say he’s no good? That we won’t last? What’s your ulterior motive? Where did you get such false information? You’re spreading lies! I’ll sue you and make sure you rot in prison!”

Ye Qianqian’s sweet voice and radiant smile infected everyone who was secretly watching and listening.

Especially Lu Jingchen. The nightmares that had haunted him for over twenty years finally came to an end after he met Ye Qianqian.

For someone with hyperthymesia like him, every problem in the world had a clear and singular answer.

Except for one, when he heard that madwoman belittle him in front of his wife, he ran through countless scenarios in his mind and still didn’t know how to handle it.

If he killed that lunatic, would his wife still stay with him?

For the first time, he felt genuine fear. And when he heard his wife call the woman’s words slander, he nearly burst out laughing.

Lu Jingchen realized, for the first time, that having hyperthymesia wasn’t as terrible as he’d imagined.

Ding Fan experienced firsthand the shift from the bone-chilling cold of deep winter to the soothing warmth of spring in an instant.

Only when Lu Jingchen swept past him like a gust of wind did he snap out of it. Clutching his chest, Ding Fan hurried back to find the butler.

“Get out. If you stay here even a second longer…” Lu Jingchen spoke slowly, his arm wrapped around Ye Qianqian, “spending the rest of your life in prison will be the least of your worries.”

With his last word, the oppressive aura of a man in power crashed down, freezing the air in an instant.

Lu Jingchen already knew who this madwoman was. If his wife weren’t here, he would have skinned her alive on the spot.

She had crossed a line, touching his deepest fury. He never hesitated when it came to retribution.

Her words didn’t surprise him, she had voiced every hidden thought he wished to bury.

As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his mother!

His father had always indulged his mother, but he refused to. He had started controlling her since he was eight.

If not for his father’s sake, he would have peeled that pretty face off long ago.

And now, this skinned madwoman dared to show herself in front of Ye Qianqian? His mother must have had a hand in this.

“Darling, I shouldn’t have just skinned her face back then. I should have thrown her into a vat of boiling oil.”

His deep, magnetic voice uttered terrifying words, his ruthless gaze pinning Li Yurou in place, sending a shiver of dread down her spine.

“T-Third Master… I-I don’t understand what you’re saying,” Li Yurou stammered, kneeling on the ground.

“Oh, I think you understand perfectly. You… and her, you’re both in this together.”

This was the first time Ye Qianqian had seen Lu Jingchen speak through gritted teeth.

She found this side of him raw and real, nestling obediently in his arms.

After a week together, she knew exactly what that look in his eyes meant. Rising on her tiptoes, she leaned in to kiss him…

Not far from the garden entrance, Wen Yuxin and a group of young men and women seemed frozen in place… whether stunned by Third Master’s chilling aura or terrified by Li Yurou’s mad ramblings!

Their feet might as well have taken root, refusing to budge until Ding Fan dragged the butler over to lead them away.

Then, without warning, Wen Yuxin fainted!
