Chapter 63.2

The more Commander Xie spoke, the more he felt this was true.

If a daughter-in-law didn’t know how to mediate between her husband and his father and couldn’t ease tensions between her husband and the Xie family, what use was there in marrying her?

In his opinion, she should have been divorced long ago!

The nanny, seeing her goal achieved, nearly let a smile slip. She quickly buried her face in Commander Xie’s chest.

“Old Xie, trust me. Let’s pretend this never happened, and don’t bring it up again.”

Commander Xie sighed.

“Your nature is too gentle. Thankfully, I’m here, or who knows how you’d be bullied?”

He affectionately hugged the nanny but didn’t take her words to heart. If he didn’t intervene with that little rascal Xie Yanzhao soon, he’d be in for trouble. One day he will ride on his father’s head and act wildly. His wife is not a good person either!

….

Ruan Mingfu was working with a piece of fabric, frequently asking Gu Yilin for her opinion.

“What do you think about this color… does it match?”

“Isn’t it a bit too plain?”

Gu Yilin picked up another piece of fabric. “I think this one is nice.”

Ruan Mingfu took the fabrics she suggested and compared them before nodding.

“It really is nice…”

“What are you two talking about?”

When Xie Yanzhao came back from outside, he heard what the two were talking about, so he asked out of curiosity.

“Humph!”

Ruan Mingfu remembered what had just happened and huffed.

She didn’t want to engage with him!

Angry?

Xie Yanzhao glanced at Gu Yilin, who looked at him with pity. She put down what she was holding. “You two take your time, I’ll head out.”

With that, Gu Yilin quickly left.

Xie Yanzhao didn’t care. He walked straight over and wrapped his arms around her.

But Ruan Mingfu pushed him away.

With her angry peach blossom eyes, she turned to face him.

“Don’t try that with me. I’m not falling for it!”

Her exquisite and vibrant face, filled with anger, looked even more charming, making it hard to look away.

Xie Yanzhao was momentarily stunned.

“What’s wrong?” he asked, his throat tightening.

“Humph!”

Ruan Mingfu shot him a glare and turned to leave.

Even at dinner, she continued to give him the cold shoulder.

Xie Yanzhao was confused.

Thinking back on recent events, he couldn’t recall having upset her. Completely puzzled, he glanced at Gu Yilin, but she was too focused on her meal to pay him any mind.

Xie Yanzhao: “…”

Feeling bewildered.

As night fell, Ruan Mingfu emerged from the bathroom to find Xie Yanzhao lying on the bed, already cleaned up.

She shot him a glare, grabbed her pillow, and tried to leave, but he caught her wrist.

“Are you angry?”

Seeing his bewildered expression only fueled her anger.

“Can’t you use your eyes to see?!”

Xie Yanzhao: “…”

“What do you mean by that?” Ruan Mingfu’s face flushed slightly, her anger rising. “You kept silent. You kept silent… Tell me! Do you think I’m being unreasonable? Are you fed up with me?!”

She glared at him as if daring him to nod, ready to make herself a widow.

“…I didn’t mean it like that…”

“Then what do you mean?” she asked, her eyes reddening with fury. “Gu Yilin is right. Men are all no good. Let go!”

Xie Yanzhao: “…Not letting go.”

If he released her, she would immediately vanish, and it would be impossible to catch her.

“Get your filthy hands off me!”

As soon as she spoke, he not only didn’t let go, but he also pulled her closer, causing her to fall onto him uncontrollably.

Ruan Mingfu: “…”

How had she never noticed how cunning he could be?

With a single pull, he trapped her in his embrace, his strong arms holding her down, her beautiful legs pinned.

She could only move her head.

Xie Yanzhao turned to face her, looking straight into her furious eyes.

“Tell me why you’re angry today.”

Say what? No way!

Ruan Mingfu struggled but found she couldn’t budge him an inch.

“If you don’t say, guess. If you can’t figure it out, we’ll get a divorce!”

She turned her head away, not wanting to look at him.

The more Ruan Mingfu looked at Xie Yanzhao, the more infuriating he became.

She ground her teeth.

She had to teach this jerk a lesson today; she wouldn’t let him hide anything from her!

Xie Yanzhao was not pleased.

He hated her rejection, especially now that she was turning away, refusing to communicate, which filled him with immense anxiety.

He reached out and held her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze, seeing his reflection in her clear, beautiful eyes.

It gave him an odd sense of satisfaction.

Xie Yanzhao’s voice was low and hoarse. “Mingfu, don’t provoke me.”

Meeting his pitch-black eyes, Ruan Mingfu’s heart raced. She couldn’t help but fidget, but he only tightened his grip.

Panic surged within her.

“Let go of me!”

Damn it, she shouldn’t have married him in the first place!

Ruan Mingfu was both furious and anxious. She bit down hard on his hand. She used all her strength, but he didn’t even flinch. He didn’t even raise an eyebrow, tilting his head in confusion as she glared at him.

Ruan Mingfu: “…”

She released her bite.

But then she saw a ring of bite marks on the back of the “dog man’s” hand, with several spots oozing blood.

She moved her lips, suddenly remembering she was still angry, and shot him a fierce glare.

“Bastard!”

The jerk actually smiled!

Ruan Mingfu was dumbfounded.

How had she never noticed how insane this guy was before?

“As long as you don’t mention divorce again, you can curse me however you like,” Xie Yanzhao said as if he hadn’t noticed the blood on his hand. “You can throw tantrums too.”

Why should he get to decide what she could or couldn’t say? She was going to bring it up.

“I’m going to mention divorce,” Ruan Mingfu teased him. “Then I’ll go back to Hong Kong with my brother and keep seventeen or eighteen male models, living a life of excess every day…”

“Mm!”

She felt a warmth on her lips, her mouth being pried open.

The dog man was fierce, and she couldn’t resist.

Ruan Mingfu wanted to escape, but he held her down firmly, making her feel like a fish on someone else’s chopping board.

In an instant, their lips met, and the sounds of their breaths filled the air.

Her beautiful peach blossom eyes glistened with a layer of water, her gaze lost in a daze. Just as she felt she was about to suffocate, he finally let her go.

Ruan Mingfu gasped for air.

Through her slightly parted, luscious red lips, she saw her pearly white teeth and the pink tip of her tongue…

Their foreheads touched, and Xie Yanzhao’s dark eyes reflected her current state.

Her hair was disheveled, her cheeks flushed as if brushed with rouge, making her look like the bright, dazzling crabapple blossoms of spring.

His eyes held a fierce possessiveness, a burning fire that seemed to threaten to consume her entirely.

Xie Yanzhao gently caressed her face.

“Mingfu, don’t make me angry.”

He couldn’t stand anyone admiring her beauty; she could only be his.

The dog man laid bare the emotions in his eyes, and Ruan Mingfu felt a twinge of fear, instinctively shrinking back. But he held her down tightly, leaving her no escape.

Ruan Mingfu felt like crying.

Oh my god!

This jerk was too scary.

She wished Mrs. Ruan had broken her legs back then…

She wanted to go back to that time and wish she had.

Woo woo woo~

Oh, she felt like crying.

Xie Yanzhao took in everything she said.

“Regret it?”
