Chapter 403: Chapter 404 The Change of Feng Jingtian (Part Four)
Ye Wuchen slightly narrowed his purple eyes and scrutinized the youth before him when, suddenly, he burst into laughter. That captivating and alluring smile accentuated the liveliness of the patterns on his face, making him so handsome that disciples passing by the Academy couldn’t help but steal glances.
“Then I’ll thank you on her behalf.”
Zi Qianjing didn’t say much else. He raised his hand in front of Ye Wuchen, his gaze intense: “Take care.”
The hand before him was so pale it was nearly transparent; even the veins on the back of the hand were visible. Ye Wuchen was silent for a moment, but eventually, he took his hand.
The moment their hands touched, an odd sensation flowed into Ye Wuchen’s heart, a feeling as if it were familiar…
But Zi Qianjing didn’t give him the chance to ponder, as he withdrew his hand and passed by Ye Wuchen’s side, disappearing into the afterglow of the setting sun without looking back…
“Has he left?”
An apparition in white descended upon Ye Wuchen, and soon thereafter, a woman’s indifferent voice reached his ears. That voice, tinged with a trace of reluctance, instantly plunged Ye Wuchen into a vat of vinegar.
“Muer!”
Ye Wuchen raised his hand to pull Mu Ruyue into his arms and hugged her waist tightly as if to punish her. The jealousy in his heart bubbled forth as he spoke with a hint of aggrievement, “When we parted those few times before, you never showed such reluctance. But now, you seem to find it hard to let him go. Muer, I’m better looking than him, more outstanding, and definitely braver than that lad, so you can’t like him…”
Mu Ruyue blinked her eyes and smiled at Ye Wuchen, “How brave you are, I’m very clear on that, but as for others…”
“Muer, are you saying that you need to experience some other people?” Ye Wuchen narrowed his eyes, dangerous light flickering within, “It seems your husband has been leaving you somewhat unsatisfied, huh? How about tonight I show you what true bravery is?”
Today, he had to make her understand his prowess.
Mu Ruyue’s face turned red, and she glared at him fiercely, “It was you who claimed to be brave. Am I supposed to follow suit with your words? Doesn’t this kind of talk make you feel nauseated as if your stomach was churning? Sorry, but I just can’t say it.”
Ye Wuchen nearly laughed out loud.
This woman’s expressions could be classified into three categories: ice-cold towards enemies, indifferent like the wind to strangers, and, if standing before her was family or a lover, she was as tender as the sea. So this was indeed the first time he’d heard Mu Ruyue speak in a joking tone.
“I don’t care, Muer, from now on you can only gaze affectionately at me, and even when we have a son, you are not allowed to look at him with that kind of gaze. Your tenderness is to be mine alone,”
The thought of Mu Ruyue’s gaze towards Zi Qianjing earlier filled him with waves of jealousy; that look was meant for him alone, and no one was allowed to steal it.
“Ye Wuchen, are you even jealous of your unborn son?” Mu Ruyue raised an eyebrow, her tone half joking and half serious, “So in your eyes, there are only males and females? And all male creatures must stay ten feet away from me?”
“Not just males, females too. That woman named Yao Yunqing was too close to you…”
“Ye Wuchen!”
Mu Ruyue called out to him through gritted teeth, “Are you asking to be kicked out to sleep alone today?”
Sleep alone? How could that be possible? How could he sleep without Nuanyu in his arms?
Ye Wuchen looked pitifully at Mu Ruyue and said aggrievedly, “My lady, I know I was wrong. I’ll go kneel and wash the clothes now; please don’t be mad, okay?”
