Too Late to Regret, She’s Now With the Big Boss - Chapter 81

Are the bullet comments this witty?

Ye Qianqian was utterly baffled.

Anger is anger… why call it lust? And make her endure it!

But that wasn’t the main point. The real issue was that Lu Jingchen had returned but hadn’t shown himself, all just to wait for her answer?

The thought of the jealous, stern-faced king of hell waiting outside, seething with cold fury over his misunderstanding that she had a crush on Xiao Feng, sent shivers down her spine.

He truly wouldn’t harm her, he couldn’t bear to but he would act!

And he knew exactly how to act, pushing things to the extreme!

Terrified, Ye Qianqian lashed out with a swift kick aimed at Xiao Feng’s mouth. “Me, having a crush on you? Disgusting piece of trash! I’ll kick you to death!”

Xiao Feng was struck so hard he couldn’t open his mouth, but Ye Qianqian wasn’t done with him. “What the hell were you saying? It’s revolting!”

“Ding Fan, are you dead? How could you let my wife use her own foot?” Lu Jingchen’s voice was dark and menacing.

He strode quickly toward Ye Qianqian. “Darling, if you hate him, why didn’t you call for your husband to handle it?”

“Husband, I just wanted to see who was behind harming me. Who knew this dog would try to drag me down to save his own skin?”

Ye Qianqian spread her arms and rushed into Lu Jingchen’s embrace, throwing herself against his chest and acting coquettishly.

“Has this dog grown tired of living? Want to die? Not a chance! Ding Fan, break this dog’s limbs and send him to the police station. Let him rot in jail.”

“Qian… Qian… you can’t treat me like this-” Xiao Feng’s front teeth had been kicked out by Ye Qianqian, and his speech was slurred.

“Ungrateful wretch! How should I treat you? I dragged you out of the backwoods and brought you to the city, all to repay your mother for the kindness of a single sweet potato. And you dare say I have a crush on you? Have you ever looked in a mirror? With that ghastly face of yours, even my husband’s dog Wangcai is better looking than you.”

As soon as Ye Qianqian finished speaking, Lu Jingchen couldn’t hold back a chuckle. “Pfft.”

“Baby, I’m hungry~~”

“Darling, let’s go upstairs, wash up, and eat,” Lu Jingchen said dotingly.

…

Ye Residence.

After the guests had dispersed, Song Yuntao anxiously searched everywhere for Ye Qingyan. It wasn’t that he cared deeply for her.

He was mainly afraid she might go off and cuckold him again or do something else that would harm his interests.

“Brother, are you looking for sister-in-law? I thought you hated her?” Song Yunqing asked softly.

“You’ve seen her?” Song Yuntao asked with certainty. As siblings, they could read each other at a glance.

“Yes, I saw her locked in the storage room behind the banquet hall by Mrs. Ye,” Song Yunqing said with a hint of schadenfreude.

She was used to seeing Ye Qingyan being the center of attention, but ever since she stole Ye Qianqian’s engagement, she had become a despised outcast, like a rat scurrying in the gutter.

While she took pleasure in Ye Qingyan’s misfortune, Song Yunqing also felt a twinge of fear. People really shouldn’t lose their kindness, doing things against one’s conscience truly brings retribution.

It’s just that Ye Qingyan’s retribution came too quickly and was far too brutal!

“Qingqing, you usually got along well with her. Why didn’t you step in to help her?” Song Yuntao asked, his face darkening.

“Brother, are you blaming me? I thought you’d be happy about this?” Song Yunqing asked, unable to believe it.

“I am quite pleased, but Qingqing, haven’t you always prided yourself on being kind?” Song Yuntao frowned.

“Brother, I want to be kind, but Ye Qingyan is just too much! I’m afraid if she gets out, she’ll cause trouble for Qianqian,” Song Yunqing whispered.

“Hmm, you did well, Qingqing. Let’s go find her now.” A complex, deep emotion flickered in Song Yuntao’s eyes.

Although he was not a ruthless demon, he was certainly no saint.

He very much wished for his younger sister to be a kind person, but faced with Ye Qingyan, no one could remain kind-hearted!

“Alright,” Song Yunqing replied softly, her feelings toward both Ye Qianqian and Ye Qingyan were complex.

“Qingqing, do you also think your brother is an ungrateful wretch?” Song Yuntao asked as they walked.

“I don’t think you did anything wrong. Ye Qianqian was indeed stunning today, but that only happened after she got together with Third Master Lu.”

“It’s all my fault for not being capable enough to make that rose bloom so brilliantly!” Song Yuntao said hoarsely.

“Brother, don’t blame yourself. No one could have predicted Ye Qingyan would turn out like this!” Song Yunqing offered dry comfort to her brother.

Truth be told, she didn’t know Ye Qingyan well either. Although they were the same age, they hadn’t grown up as playmates.

Back then, Ye Qingyan wasn’t worthy of playing with her, over twenty years ago, the Song family was miles ahead of the Ye family.

Even in recent years, there was still some gap between the Ye and Song families. For a Ye daughter to marry into the Song family was considered marrying up.

Ye Qingyan had loved being the center of attention since childhood, becoming a prominent figure in elementary school.

Her brother had somehow met Ye Qingyan and fallen for her, which was when Song Yunqing began interacting with Ye Qingyan.

Because her brother liked Ye Qingyan, she had liked her too. When the Ye family’s biological daughter returned, she had even helped Ye Qingyan cause trouble for Ye Qianqian.

It was only after her brother got into a car accident and Ye Qingyan abandoned her paralyzed brother to go abroad that she began to dislike her.

When her brother became engaged to Ye Qianqian, she felt Ye Qianqian wasn’t good enough for her exceptional brother.

But when she saw Ye Qingyan steal Ye Qianqian’s groom, she wasn’t happy either, she felt Ye Qingyan was even worse than Ye Qianqian.

“Brother, do you remember years ago when you secretly went to the family doctor saying you were sick?”

“I remember. Later I realized it was just my first awakening of love… I had fallen for Ye Qingyan. It’s a pity how much has changed since then!”

Song Yuntao said softly. He remembered that day clearly, but hadn’t expected his sister to have witnessed that scene.

Back then, after the doctor carefully completed various examinations, he looked at him puzzled: “Young Master, you’re truly not ill.”

“Uncle, I really think I’m sick, and quite seriously too. Please examine me more carefully.”

“Young Master, why are you so insistent that you’re ill?” the doctor asked gently.

Song Yuntao remembered the doctor’s face, while quite stern, it showed more curiosity.

He remained silent, his mind continuously recalling Ye Qingyan’s captivating eyes, his heart still fluttering strangely.

It felt bizarre, uncomfortable, as if craving something.

Persistently, he extended his hand again, asking the family doctor to check his pulse: “Uncle, please check me. My heart feels exceptionally uncomfortable today.”

Hearing this, the family doctor placed his fingers on Song Yuntao’s wrist.

“Steady and strong, perfectly normal,” the doctor frowned. “Let me see your tongue.”

Song Yuntao complied.

“Nothing wrong there either,” the doctor said, perplexed.

The family doctor knew Song Yuntao wasn’t one to joke about such matters, so his frown deepened.

After a long while, he finally asked him to describe exactly how he felt unwell.

After hesitating for a moment, Song Yuntao said: “My heart starts racing for no reason, feeling swollen and tight, and it takes a long time to calm down.”

The family physician, highly skilled and thus trusted by the Song family, had practiced medicine for years but had never encountered such a condition. Skeptical, he took the pulse once more.

Still finding nothing unusual, he patiently inquired, “What did the young master eat today?”

“Same as usual.”

“What did you do today?”

“Same as usual, except I met a beautiful junior student.”

“That shouldn’t be any… wait a moment!”
