He Yufei was willing to marry Chu Wuyou? On what terms?
He would only agree to marry her if she forgave Chu Ninger!
What a ridiculous joke.
“Mr He, I’m sorry but I think there’s been a misunderstanding.” However, Chu Wuyou did not make things difficult, seeing as they were in a public space at the moment. She decided to show mercy, even though both He Yufei and Chu Ninger had joined together to attack her at the banquet previously.
Chu Wuyou sounded nonchalant yet her words reeked of indifference. She reckoned He Yufei would be quick to understand her intentions, even if he was not too bright.
However, it appeared that she had overestimated his intelligence.
He Yufei blinked back blankly at the woman. It was said that she had fully recovered from her illness but why did she still seem so silly at this moment? Did she not comprehend what he had just explicitly said?
He was a conceited man who firmly believed that Chu Wuyou would not reject him. Therefore, he instinctively thought that the woman must have not understood him properly.
“Wuyou, I know you like me and I know that you framed Ninger and despise her out of adoration for me. But I don’t want to be the reason that your relationship with her is ruined…” After several moments of hesitation, He Yufei decided to lay it all out on the table. He even brought up the history with Chu Ninger deliberately to ensure the woman could grasp the entire picture.
Thinking that Chu Wuyou had made things difficult for Chu Ninger out of love for him, he assumed that the former would understand now that he had made it clearer.
However, those words that escaped his mouth had placed Chu Wuyou into an extremely awkward position.
She became the horrible person that harmed her own sister because of a man!
The people that surrounded them began whispering and throwing spiteful gazes in Chu Wuyou’s direction.
Her eyes darkened upon realizing He Yufei had failed to comprehend the innuendo behind her words. If that was the case, then she did not mind to make her thoughts more obvious.
“Mr He.” She interrupted all of a sudden.
“Ah.” A sardonic smile spread across He Yufei’s face as he thought the woman was finally on the same page as him. “Wuyou, consider my – no, consider our future for a second, and please stop trying to…”
“Mr He, you really are flattering…” Fixing her gaze on the man, Chu Wuyou parted her lips to speak but she hesitated for a moment upon deliberation.
“Wuyou, don’t look down upon yourself because you’re not actually that bad.” He Yufei’s face was washed over with pride and arrogance because he had misunderstood entirely her.
A smile twitched on the corners of her mouth. She continued her sentence gradually upon seeing the smug expression that was written all over the man’s face. “Yourself.”
He surely did overestimate himself to think that she had set up Chu Ninger because of him.
“Hah!” Someone among the crowd could not refrain from laughing upon the realization.
Brilliance flashed across Ye Lanchen’s eyes. The man, who was currently watching the show on the second floor, twitched his lips upward.
He was proud of his domineering wife!
He Yufei was dumbfounded for a couple of seconds before finally comprehending the situation. A flurry of emotions moved like a storm across his face.
Chu Wuyou could not be bothered to entertain the man anymore hence she turned around, intending to leave.
“Chu Wuyou, what do you mean? What are you saying?” However, He Yufei rushed forward immediately to block her path.
A frown formed on her forehead when she discovered He Yufei had been drinking. It appeared that the latter was in a mood today.
Indeed, her estimation was correct. As it turned out, He Yunan was about to come home and the patriarch of their family declared that the former would start working in the company. Besides that, not only had the old man assigned numerous massive projects to He Yunan, he had also deprived He Yufei of some of his authority.
