Too Late to Regret, She’s Now With the Big Boss - Chapter 83

Seeing that her brother seemed to want to say more, Song Yunqing quickly interrupted, “Brother, we’re already at the door.”

“Qingqing, go call her out,” Song Yuntao said, stopping in his tracks.

“Brother, let’s go in together. You need to stop thinking about Ye Qianqian. Grandpa and Dad would never allow you to offend Third Master Lu for her sake. I know you’re upset, but some things, once lost, are gone forever. Our eyes face forward, so we can only look ahead.”

“Qingqing, you’ve misunderstood me!” Song Yuntao felt as if something was stuck in his throat, unsure how to explain it to his sister.

“Misunderstood? Brother, I really don’t understand why you’re being so stubborn right now!” Song Yunqing widened her eyes, staring at her brother.

“Forget it, let’s go in together.” A dull ache inexplicably rose in Song Yuntao’s chest.

How could he tell his sister that he was worried about seeing Ye Qingyan in a compromising situation with someone else again?

For the sake of the Song family, he didn’t dare to fight for Ye Qianqian. Without his grandfather and father’s approval, he couldn’t easily bring up divorce. Yet, the image of Ye Qingyan kissing Ye Ruixuan was something he couldn’t let go of.

Seeing the pain on her brother’s face, Song Yunqing gently patted his back and comforted him softly, “Brother, if you really can’t stand Ye Qingyan’s behavior, you can divorce her after some time.”

Just as the siblings arrived, the door opened from the inside.

“Brother Yuntao, why did it take you so long to get here? Were you doing it on purpose?” Ye Qingyan’s accusatory tone was melodious and lingering, as if whispering sweet nothings.

Song Yuntao felt goosebumps all over and instantly darkened his handsome face, remaining silent.

Song Yunqing said gently, “Sister-in-law, this is your parents’ home. My brother and I searched for a long time to find you.”

“…Qingqing… you…” A few teardrops clung to Ye Qingyan’s eyelashes, on the verge of falling. Anyone who didn’t know better would think Song Yunqing had bullied her.

“Brother Tao, I trust you to take care of Yanyan. We have things to attend to, so we won’t keep you any longer.” With that, Second Brother Ye slipped away as if his feet were greased. He felt extremely guilty upon seeing Song Yuntao.

His mother had told him to bring Ye Qingyan to Song Yuntao, but he had no idea she had tied Ye Qingyan to a chair and left her without food or water for half a day!

“Second Brother~ I’ve been hungry for half a day~ How could you treat me like this?” Ye Qingyan called out in a coquettish voice, staring at Second Brother Ye’s retreating back.

“If you’re hungry, go home and eat. Stop making a scene here!” Song Yuntao roared angrily.

He had noticed Second Brother Ye’s guilty expression when he saw him, along with Ye Qingyan’s crumpled dress and the red marks on her wrists.

Could it be that Ye Qingyan and her second brother…? The thought sent Song Yuntao’s rage skyrocketing, twisting his expression to the extreme.

“Song Yuntao, do you have any conscience left?” Ye Qingyan demanded furiously. She wanted to continue cursing, but her throat was parched and burning.

She had been locked up by that old witch for half a day, and instead of showing concern, Song Yuntao had the nerve to yell at her?

“Are you coming or not?” Song Yuntao snarled viciously. The thought of her being alone with Second Brother Ye made him sick.

“You’re being so mean. I’m not going.” Ye Qingyan hadn’t had water for half a day, and her lips were dry and cracked, making it difficult to speak. More importantly, returning to the Song household meant losing her freedom. She couldn’t command the Song family’s drivers and had to beg Song Yuntao every time she wanted to go out.

If she had known that marrying into the Song family would bring such torment and suffering, she would rather have remained unmarried, enjoying life with different male confidants, indulging in good food and drink every day.

“Let’s go.” Song Yuntao’s patience had run out. He grabbed Ye Qingyan’s arm and dragged her out. “If you’re reluctant to leave, is it because you weren’t satisfied earlier?”

…

Ye Qianqian was nestled in Lu Jingchen’s arms as he fed her. While eating, her eyes were glued to the barrage of hilarious comments, and her hands were far from idle.

[Can someone tell me what kind of messed-up feel-good novel this is? The plot between the male and female leads is even more torturous than a tragic romance!]

[Oh my god! The male lead is dragging the female lead by her wrist, the one that was tied with red string by the Ye family’s servants and he doesn’t even know how to cherish her. So disappointing!]

[How is this not a feel-good novel? Don’t you see the big boss finding time to hold the female antagonist and feed her? And while eating, she’s even feeling up his chest muscles. I wish I could push her aside and take her place!]

[After the big boss arranged for someone to restore the female antagonist’s fate, the female lead lost her plot armor, and her character has completely fallen apart. It’s just unbearable to watch.]

[Yeah! And now the male lead even suspects the female lead of having an affair with Second Brother Ye. Oh my god! How can the male lead even stand to be with her after this?]

[Why not? At the homecoming banquet, the male lead witnessed the female lead with First Brother Ye, but he still went home and had wild, passionate sex with her!!!]

[Second Brother Ye is so wronged! He genuinely cares for the female lead, but his feelings have always been purely brotherly.]

Ye Qianqian: This is hilarious. That scumbag Song Yuntao actually suspects Second Brother Ye?

“Darling, what’s so funny?” Lu Jingchen asked curiously. Seeing Ye Qianqian’s radiant smile, his heart bloomed with joy.

“I’m laughing because I’m happy~~”

“What’s making you so happy?”

“You know exactly why, silly. You must know why I’m happy, it’s because I have my husband by my side~~”

“You little heartless thing. When I’m not home, you never even call me.” Lu Jingchen accused her with a pitiful tone.

“That’s so unfair! I was afraid of disturbing your work, so I didn’t dare bother you with calls. But husband, I’ve been thinking of you in my heart~~”

“Your calls are motivation, never a bother. I welcome your interruptions anytime, my dear.” Lu Jingchen said with a smile.

“Hahahaha, what kind of boss are you? All you think about is slacking off at work.” Ye Qianqian laughed so hard she nearly doubled over.

“Are you full, darling?” Lu Jingchen asked softly, his eyes fixed on Ye Qianqian’s delicate, jade-like face.

It was like a stone dropping into a pond, a hazy, intoxicating ripple spread out, revealing a clear, stunning beauty.

His heart raced, and his thoughts wandered. He no longer wanted to eat; he wanted to devour her instead!

“I’m already full, but you haven’t eaten enough, husband. Let me feed you.” Ye Qianqian picked up a piece of garlic-infused rib with her fingers and brought it to Lu Jingchen’s lips.

Just then, Lu Jingchen’s phone rang. Seeing it was Bai Lang, Ye Qianqian quickly swiped to answer for him. [Hello, speak.]

[Boss, Second Master has been set up in a honey trap by a rival and it’s trending. It’s been ten minutes, and PR still hasn’t managed to take it down.]

[Ten minutes and it’s still up?] Lu Jingchen’s deep, magnetic voice gave no hint of his emotions.

[It’s my incompetence. I beg you to step in personally.]

The barrage in front of Ye Qianqian instantly exploded!

[Big boss, please don’t step in personally! Your second brother will hate you for it. Actor Lu wasn’t set up in a honey trap at all!]

[Actor Lu never intended to compete with you for the Lu family empire. It’s just that you cut off his support for a young starlet, and he held a grudge. In the end, when he saw you distressed over the female antagonist, he took advantage of the opening created by the male lead and other rivals, and Actor Lu kicked you while you were down, leading to your untimely death!]

[The movie emperor Lu deliberately created a CP buzz with that young starlet because he had fallen for her and wanted to give her a boost.]

[The big boss didn’t know Lu’s true intentions, thinking the movie emperor was being set up. He forcibly removed the trending topic, causing a rift in their brotherly bond.]
