Too Late to Regret, She’s Now With the Big Boss - Chapter 72

“I admit I was blind, but Qianqian clearly loved me so much. Why won’t she look back?”

Bai Lang’s words struck a chord of regret deep within Song Yuntao. Following his heart, he asked, “If you can’t figure it out, why not take a look in the mirror? You’ll understand once you do.”

Lu Jingchen’s voice was icy, and his gaze toward Song Yuntao was even more chilling.

Song Yuntao turned toward the voice, his anger boiling over, his expression twisting into something unrecognizable.

The Living King of Hell’s words were as venomous as ever, as if his mouth were coated in arsenic.

But there were two things about Third Master Lu that even his rival in love couldn’t deny: his devilishly handsome face and his immeasurable wealth.

Yet, whether dealing with people or matters, he was ruthless and cruel, like a true Living King of Hell. Everyone in Rongcheng feared him, including Song Yuntao.

But at that moment, Song Yuntao, driven to madness by Ye Qingyan, lost all reason. “Third Master Lu, was it you who threatened Qianqian? Yes, it must be! You used me or the Song family to threaten her. Otherwise, why wouldn’t she give me another chance?”

“Use you to threaten her? You’re not even worthy. Step aside. Don’t dirty the floor in front of the store.” As he spoke, Lu Jingchen brutally kicked Song Yuntao away.

Although Ye Qianqian had been accommodating to his every desire since they registered their marriage, indulging in shameless sweetness with him, deep down, he still resented the three years she had devoted heart and soul to the scum in front of him.

Especially today. He had waited the entire noon without receiving a single message from her. Worried that she might be tired or thirsty from shopping, he had Ding Fan report her whereabouts, only to find out she had been arguing with these two scumbags the whole time.

She had fiercely struck that woman but couldn’t bring herself to hit this scum!

Although she said she was glad to have married him, Lu Jingchen felt she was merely using him as a tool to provoke this scum.

For three whole years, she had humbled herself before this scum, yet in front of him, she was like a wildcat, all claws and teeth.

The more Lu Jingchen thought about it, the more jealous and furious he became. He chased after Song Yuntao and kicked him several more times.

“My wife told you to stay away from her. Why are you still fantasizing about her?” Lu Jingchen aimed his kicks squarely at Song Yuntao’s face.

Meanwhile, Ye Qianqian was two shops away, watching Lu Yao try on clothes, but her vision was flooded with bullet comments:

[The male lead is truly the male lead. His courage is something else, daring to provoke the big boss. Now he’s in for it!]

[Serves the male lead right! He’s a scumbag who can’t be satisfied with what he has, causing the female lead to be mocked by everyone. He deserves to be beaten up by the big boss.]

[How can this be the male lead’s fault? It’s all the female antagonist’s doing. She’s the one who should die, making the big boss’s jealousy erupt!]

[The big boss is head over heels for the female antagonist. He’s kicking the male lead out of jealousy. What does it have to do with her?]

[The female antagonist deserves to die. She was born to serve as a stepping stone for the male and female leads. How dare she not follow the script?]

[Exactly! She used to grovel before the male lead, granting his every wish. Now that she’s climbed up to the big boss, she’s putting on airs.]

[She treated the male lead so well before, but he not only failed to appreciate it but also handed her over to the big boss. Now that she’s living happily, what’s wrong with that?]

Ye Qianqian herself didn’t care about the praise or criticism in the bullet comments, but she was concerned about the negative impact of Lu Jingchen beating someone, no, kicking someone in public.

She admitted she was selfish. In the past, for the sake of wealth and status, she had indeed treated Song Yuntao too well!

Interpersonal relationships often involve a dynamic of mutual devouring; if your temper isn’t firm enough, you can easily be consumed by others.

She understood clearly that in any toxic relationship, she herself bore part of the responsibility.

Because she had unconsciously taught others how to treat her.

If she insisted on begging for scraps from Song Yuntao, who looked down on her, then he would only treat her like a beggar.

So, what she had said earlier was indeed true, she had never resented Song Yuntao for mistreating her or refusing to marry her.

She was genuinely grateful to Song Yuntao for sending her into Lu Jingchen’s bed, allowing her to live a happy life ever since.

More than that, she was thankful for the bullet spoilers; otherwise, she might have been suffering in a mental hospital by now.

“Hubby, stop hitting him…” Ye Qianqian’s urgent voice sounded to Lu Jingchen like she was defending that scoundrel, making him kick even harder in his fury.

“Baby, are you too angry? Why aren’t you listening to me?” Ye Qianqian asked, panting heavily.

Lu Jingchen nearly choked at the term “baby,” his handsome face quickly flushing red, even the tips of his ears turning crimson.

Was it appropriate for a man of his stature to be called that?

Lu Jingchen froze in place, his mind racing… he actually loved that term, especially in the quiet of the night…

But his wife had never called him that before. For that scoundrel, she was really going all out!

Had she often called that scoundrel “baby” in the past?

As he watched Ye Qianqian, her fair little face flushed and her lovely figure heaving with each breath,

her spirited eyes filled with worry only added to her charm and allure.

Her beauty was indescribable, her allure just enough to captivate, yet it made Lu Jingchen even angrier… her urgency was all for that scoundrel.

Seeing Lu Jingchen childishly turn his face away and ignore her, Ye Qianqian said, “Baby, I was only worried that you’d embarrass yourself by fighting in public. That’s why I rushed over so anxiously.”

“Hmph! Who would believe that!” Lu Jingchen snorted coldly, his face darkening further. If she hadn’t impulsively called him “baby,” he might have forgiven her.

“Lu Jingchen, what will it take for you to believe me? Should I kiss you right here in the street?”

“…” The words nearly made Lu Jingchen lose his balance.

He relented and tapped her forehead gently. “A young lady should have some modesty.”

Seeing that she had finally placated him, Ye Qianqian reached up and touched his Adam’s apple.

Leaning close to his ear, she whispered, “Modesty? That’s not what you said last night when you were sweating all over me.”

“…”

This little vixen, was she trying to kill him?

Noticing the tips of Lu Jingchen’s ears turning red, Ye Qianqian parted her red lips and slowly repeated what someone had said the night before:

“Wife… kiss me…”

“…”

“…”

Lu Jingchen’s breath hitched, his heart tingling again and again with overwhelming intensity. “Let’s go home.”

Song Yuntao, beaten to a pulp, watched as Ye Qianqian and Lu Jingchen walked away hand in hand, fingers tightly interlaced. A strong sense of losing her washed over him.

He immediately chased after them. “Qianqian, stop messing around, okay? Aren’t you just angry that I didn’t give you a wedding? I’ll make it up to you now. Whatever kind of wedding you want, I’ll give it to you…”

“Song Yuntao, I never liked you. During the years you were disabled, I took care of you out of pity, nothing more.”

You went from being heaven’s favored one to a disabled person, afraid of others mocking you, ridiculing you, humiliating you… seeing you like that.

I couldn’t help but transform into a battle wolf to protect you, because I’ve been the one abandoned since childhood, and over time, I’ve developed PTSD too.
