Facing such a Xiao Shuo, Ye Yuning couldn’t be bothered with him and headed straight for the door. This was the first time Xiao Shuo had experienced such a crushing defeat at her hands, and it infuriated him! She wants to be coaxed, huh? Fine, I’ll properly coax her for a while. Although Xiao Shuo was very dissatisfied with this, considering his current situation, he had no choice but to temporarily bow his head. Once she’s completely submissive to me, I’ll show her how I deal with her. Ye Yuning had no idea what Xiao Shuo was plotting. Just hearing his words was enough to leave her speechless. Since she was already downstairs from the studio, she decided to go up. Just then, Xiao Shuo chased after her. "Do you really hate me that much?" "What’s wrong with you? Can’t you understand plain language?" Ye Yuning snapped, trying to shake off Xiao Shuo’s grip. However, as she turned. Being so close, Xiao Shuo instantly spotted the red marks on her neck. As a man who had frequented the company of women his entire life, he knew exactly what those marks signified. "You—you slept with that man?" Xiao Shuo roared in a fit of rage. She calls me filthy? How clean can a woman who’s slept with another man possibly be? Ye Yuning said coolly, "Can you let go?" Xiao Shuo exploded with fury. "Ye Yuning! How can you have no self-respect? He’s just a tool for you to avoid the Qin Family, and you actually slept with someone like him?" What in the world? Ye Yuning thought. This guy, who’s been with countless women, has the gall to call *me* lacking in self-respect? Damn it! Do shameless bastards like him nowadays actually have the nerve to make false accusations without batting an eye? Ye Yuning sneered, "Have I been far too lenient with you today?" Having suppressed her fury time and again, Ye Yuning finally couldn’t hold back any longer and kicked Xiao Shuo hard. When Chen Wei came out of the office building, she saw Ye Yuning attacking Xiao Shuo. Ye Yuning wasn’t tall, but her movements were incredibly agile when she attacked. Pain contorted Xiao Shuo’s face from the kick. Ye Yuning retorted, "I lack self-respect? At least the person I sleep with is legal and legitimate! You, who sleep with prostitutes, dare to say I lack self-respect?" This world was truly unbelievable! Ye Yuning made no effort to hide her disgust. Leaving the agonized Xiao Shuo behind, she turned and walked away. Xiao Shuo, having been kicked in a very sensitive spot, couldn’t even discreetly cover himself in public. Seeing Ye Yuning about to leave, he gritted his teeth in anger. "Ye Yuning, you stop right there! Take me to the hospital!" Damn, she’s ruthless. Does this woman want to castrate me? He knew he shouldn’t be clutching himself in public, but the pain was too intense. He eventually collapsed to the ground, doubling over. Witnessing this scene, Chen Wei couldn’t help the corner of her mouth from twitching. Spotting Chen Wei, Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow. "Where are you off to?" "I was just getting afternoon tea for everyone. Boss, you’re here!" Chen Wei approached respectfully. As she got closer and saw the marks on Ye Yuning’s neck, Chen Wei’s mouth twitched again. Could this be why she hit Xiao Shuo? Did he... do that to her? Ye Yuning asked sharply, "What are you staring at? Aren’t you going?" "Ah, I’ll go right away!" Chen Wei snapped back to her senses, not daring to meet Ye Yuning’s gaze again. She turned and hurried away. Ye Yuning proceeded towards her office. At that moment, she felt nothing but utter dissatisfaction and even profound disgust towards Xiao Shuo. In the elevator, she tugged her collar higher to hide the marks. After purchasing the afternoon tea, Chen Wei headed straight to Ye Yuning’s office. "How did Xiao Shuo leave?" Ye Yuning asked. Chen Wei replied, "He took a taxi." He was hobbling when he left, clearly in a lot of pain from the kick. Chen Wei looked at Ye Yuning with a mixture of concern and confusion. "Are you alright?" "What could possibly be wrong with me?" Xiao Shuo was the one who got beaten up, not me. What could be wrong with me? N-nothing’s wrong? Chen Wei thought, bewildered. So, she’s just brushing it off like a dog bite? Seeing Chen Wei’s conflicted expression, Ye Yuning instantly understood her unspoken question. "You think those marks are from Xiao Shuo?" "Ah? They aren’t?" If not, why would she kick him *there*? She nearly crippled him! Ye Yuning stated coolly, "If it had really been him, he wouldn’t have gotten off with just a kick to that spot." Her words sent a chill down Chen Wei’s spine. That’s right. If it really had been Xiao Shuo, it wouldn’t have ended with just a kick. Ye Yuning would have definitely killed him! Besides, with how capable Boss is, if she wasn’t willing, it would be very difficult for anyone to force her. So, it was consensual? With that husband she legally married? It was only then that Chen Wei remembered Ye Yuning actually had a husband! She’d never met him, so his presence was so faint in her mind that she’d just made such a huge misunderstanding.
