Too Late to Regret, She’s Now With the Big Boss - Chapter 98

“Darling, the doctor said I can’t engage in strenuous activities, but he didn’t say you can’t!” Lu Jingchen gazed affectionately at Ye Qianqian.

Ye Qianqian shot him a reproachful glare, unsure how to respond, when a knock interrupted them.

Ding Fan’s voice followed, “Sir, Madam, Wen Xinyue has been brought to the basement.”

“Husband, since you can’t move around yet, I’ll go deal with her,” Ye Qianqian said, leaving the bedroom.

Lu Jingchen shook his head with a smile as he watched her retreating figure, she was still so easily flustered!

In the basement, a disheveled Wen Xinyue stared enviously at Ye Qianqian’s elegant attire, her jealousy boiling over.

She charged recklessly toward Ye Qianqian, “You wretch! Why did you steal Third Master from me?”

Ye Qianqian scoffed coldly, “Your Third Master? Wen Xinyue, you’ve got some nerve. We’ve already registered our marriage, and in two weeks, we’ll have our wedding. Stop overestimating yourself, I’ve never done anything to provoke you.”

Wen Xinyue turned her gaze to Ye Qianqian, “What do you mean, you’ve never provoked me? Everyone said I would grow up and marry Third Master. He was always meant to be mine! How dare you register with him? Isn’t that provocation enough?”

“What kind of logic is that? There are plenty of men in the world. Just because you like someone doesn’t mean they belong to you. Only those who register their marriage are truly together.”

Ye Qianqian’s expression was icy, her eyes tinged with mockery.

Wen Xinyue flew into a rage at her words, “Ye Qianqian, you only managed to marry Third Master by scheming. There’s no way he could ever love someone like you. What right do you have to monopolize the man I love?”

“The right? I get to sleep with him, can you?” A cold smirk curled at the corner of Ye Qianqian’s lips.

“He’ll never love you, not even if you share his bed every day!” Wen Xinyue’s face flushed and paled with fury as she spoke with conviction.

[Does Wen Xinyue have some kind of mental issue? Anyone with eyes can see how much the big boss adores the female lead!]

[Wen Xinyue chased after the big boss for ten years and still couldn’t win his heart, so now she’s convinced he doesn’t understand love!]

[Sigh! Instead of enjoying her privileged life as the Wen family’s young lady, she’s determined to ruin herself. If it were me, I’d just kick back and relax.]

[Right? Why wasn’t I born into a wealthy family like the Wens? Ugh, I still have to wake up early tomorrow to grind.]

Seeing the barrage of comments confidently asserting the big boss’s love for her, Ye Qianqian decided to tease Wen Xinyue further.

“Even if Third Master Lu doesn’t love me, at least I get to share a bed with him every night. Can you say the same?”

“You! country bumpkin has no class, talking so crudely. I don’t know why Third Master Lu hasn’t strangled you yet!”

“Exactly, I may be a country bumpkin, but Third Master Lu loves me anyway. What can you do about it? What gives you the right to look down on me? Trace back three generations, and everyone comes from humble origins. You’re only arrogant because you were born into the Wen family. But now that they’ve abandoned you, what do you have to compete with me?”

Wen Xinyue’s heart ached sharply at these words, her voice rising to a shrill pitch, “So what if you’re registered with Third Master Lu? Do you think the Lu family actually approves of you?”

“I can strut around Rongcheng all I want, flaunting the title of Mrs. Lu III. Why? Because Third Master chose to register with me, not you, Wen Xinyue!”

Ye Qianqian declared triumphantly, her eyes glinting coldly as she stared at Wen Xinyue.

Wen Xinyue stared at Ye Qianqian’s arrogant face, feeling as though her heart was bleeding.

She spat out bitterly, “Ye Qianqian, don’t try to provoke me with such words. If you have the ability, make him love only you for the rest of his life. If you can’t keep his love forever, what will you do when Third Master Lu stops loving you one day?”

“Oh? Weren’t you the one who confidently claimed Third Master would never love me? So, you were just talking nonsense all along?”

“……”

“Wen Xinyue, stop with these irrelevant arguments. You instigated the Xiao family to hire desperate criminals to hunt down Third Master Lu. The Xiao family went bankrupt yesterday. I’ll have Third Master send you to them so you can face their revenge!” Ye Qianqian’s expression turned icy cold.

“Ye Qianqian, what right do you have to treat me like this? Our Wen family won’t let you get away with this!” Wen Xinyue’s face turned as pale as paper.

“If you mention the Wen family again, I’ll have my husband deal with them. Let me give you a taste of what it’s like to be dirt poor.”

“Third Master would never target our Wen family for your sake. I know our family’s influence can’t compete with Third Master’s, but he would never move against us. You lowlife, do you know why? When you lose Third Master’s protection someday, when he kicks you to the curb, just wait and see how I’ll deal with you!”

“Whether Third Master acts against the Wen family now depends entirely on my word, after all, he’s deeply in love with me right now. As for your ‘someday,’ you’ll need to stay alive long enough to see that day!”

Wen Xinyue watched Ye Qianqian’s beaming smile, her voice trembling with rage as she clenched her fists tightly. “Ye Qianqian, don’t get too cocky!”

“You don’t understand, if I don’t revel in my triumph now, then when should I? ‘When life is good, drink your fill; don’t leave your golden cup empty under the moon.'” Ye Qianqian’s smile deepened at the corners of her lips. “I’ll be waiting for the day Third Master casts me aside.”

“How shameless! I’ve heard before how you groveled to please the Young Master of the Song family, even debasing yourself to lick his boots. After he dumped you, you went chasing after Third Master, clinging to him relentlessly.”

“So what? When I was fawning over Song Yuntao, at least I was wholehearted about it. That’s why after he discarded me, I could still meet such a wonderful husband like Third Master.”

Wen Xinyue’s expression darkened; she desperately wanted to slap Ye Qianqian across the face.

“You lowlife, don’t be so arrogant when you speak. What will you do when Third Master dumps you in the future?”

“Future matters can wait. Right now, you’re like a rabid dog, why don’t you take a look in the mirror?” Ye Qianqian asked with a laugh.

“You… you…” For a moment, Wen Xinyue was at a loss for words.

“You keep calling me ‘lowlife.’ Tell me, which is more noble, a lowlife or a dog?”

“You… you…” Wen Xinyue felt dizzy from her twisted logic.

“Miss Wen, if you hadn’t brought this upon yourself, you’d still be the high and mighty young lady, enjoying luxury and fine living. But instead of considering your family’s welfare, you’ve doomed the Wen family to bankruptcy and a life in the dirt!”

Ye Qianqian’s gaze cut through Wen Xinyue like a sharp blade, shredding her heart to pieces and plunging her into an icy abyss.

Wen Xinyue suddenly felt so cold, so terribly cold… Had she truly made a mistake?

She had only wanted to elevate the Wen family’s status!

How could things have turned out like this?

Wen Xinyue watched her departing figure, a bitter, sharp smile curling at the corners of her lips. “Ye Qianqian, don’t get too cocky. I will come for revenge.”

“Ding Fan, smash her mouth, break both her legs, and send her to the Xiao family,” Ye Qianqian said calmly before turning and walking away.
