XunMi explained their situation within three sentences and easily threw the blame on the two of them.
On the other hand, Si YuFan realized that his XunMi seemed to be this scum man’s ex-girlfriend?
Goddamnit, he was unhappy. He really wanted to punch someone.
XunMi squeezed Si YuFan’s hand and used her finger to scratch the palm of his hand trying to comfort him.
Yu LingXi’s face reddened from anger after XunMi’s words. “Who are you to speak? You couldn’t get him yourself so you came to try to break up Ling ge and I? How could you be so malicious? I’m already preparing to get married with Ling ge. Do you think by doing this, Ling ge would return to you?” She pointed her finger at XunMi.
XunMi was more worried about her shaking peaches. She was really worried that it would jump out. That would be too unsightly.
Yi Ling pulled Yu LingXi back and comforted her. His affectionate gaze immediately made Yu LingXi’s dark expression into light.
If you ignored the passionate looks he was shooting at XunMi from time to time, people would really believe that this man was truly in love with the woman in his arms. Before Si YuFan could explode, XunMi spoke softly. “Although I only agreed to get together with you because I was so bored that year, I still dislike men that flirt with other women while together with me. Even if you meant nothing to me, no one likes it when your plaything runs out of your palm. Moreover, you two were afraid I was going to expose your affair and even pushed me out of the safety zone. Since I was just one breath away from death after my accident with the aerocar, I had to come and demand an explanation. You two really have taught me so much. As expected, scum men and scum women make the perfect couple.” She wasn’t angry, nor did she aggressively attack. She simply stated the truth, gaining the crowd’s good impression. They saw that this was a catfight for a guy, but with numerous secrets to uncover. Most importantly, they saw that one of the parties seemed to have Marshal Si clinging to her side. Everyone held in a laugh. When you had such an extraordinary partner, this Yi Ling would be nothing in comparison. As long as the individual wasn’t blind, they would know who to pick out of the two. Moreover, there had been such big breaking news: this scum man and his other woman had hearts with black cores. Who would dare do business with them in the future? What if they were also betrayed?
Murderous energy overflowed out of Si YuFan. XunMi’s words were said with absolute calmness and indifference. But his heart ached unbearably. ‘One breath away from death’? He didn’t want to even think about it. If she hadn’t been able to make it, then what would he have done? No, these two people deserved death!
XunMi held onto Si YuFan’s hand tightly and gave him a kiss on the cheeks to stop him from falling completely into his dark thoughts.
“XunMi, you...” Yi Ling looked at the face that used to be the subject of his dreams in disbelief. Now, this face felt completely unfamiliar, as if they had never known each other. But it shouldn’t be like this. She had loved him so much in the past and couldn’t even bare to be away from him. He didn’t believe that she didn’t love him, that she had only been with him because she was bored.
“Mr. Yi, I believe we aren’t that familiar. It would be better for you to call me Miss Nian. Of course, I also wouldn’t want to become familiar with a scum man. That would only pull down my status. My grandfather probably wouldn’t be too happy about that also. After all, I can’t allow such arrogant people trample on my family name.” XunMi said bluntly. Her sharp words stabbed right into their target’s heart and also brought back Si YuFan’s reason. But that pair of scum man and scum woman had no shame. They only lived in their own world. Even though XunMi had already been so straightforward, they still thought she was purposely putting on a tough facade.
“XunMi, I know that you’re angry and hurt. But I had no choice. I love XiXi. XiXi loves me. She could stand side by side with me in terms of status. Meanwhile, you...” He didn’t complete his sentence. Everyone understood.
XunMi was completely beaten by the scum man’s act of ‘oh I still love you, but I also love her. I have no choice, I could only choose the one that would be the most compatible to me.’ She almost threw out her flute to finish him then and there. So disgusting. She had goosebumps all over from his act.
Those around them all took a step back. The air was very suffocating here. Big marshal Si, please stop emitting such cold energy. We really can’t handle it.
Anyone with eyes could see that Marshal Si was really feeling murderous. The results would no doubt be severe.
Yu LingXi wasn’t afraid to add more gas to the flames. “That’s right. You’re only an orphan with a bit of money. What future would Ling ge have with you, what can you help him with?”
This time XunMi really did roll her eyes. She didn’t think that this Yu LingXi’s world views would have been twisted to this degree. She knew that he was interested in her inheritance but was still proud enough to admit it. How many holes were in her brain?
“XunMi, don’t hold me back. I want to kill them.” Si YuFan glared at the two people on the stage, his eyes filled with fury. If XunMi hadn’t been holding his arm, he would have charged forward. XunMi patted Si YuFan, trying to soothe his already tense muscles. “YuFan, you have to remember. When a dog bites you, you can’t bite back. Just look, those are obvious two dogs with rabies. That’s more the reason not to go up. They’re so dirty.” She looked up at him warmly and patted his hand.
Si YuFan tilted his head, as if to consider what XunMi had said. After a few seconds, he nodded his head.That’s right. They aren’t even the same species. I can’t bully animals. Right now, the empire is all about protecting those endangered species. How about we send them somewhere safe so that they don’t hurt themselves or others.”
Pff. XunMi couldn’t hold back her laughter. Was it really alright for her husband to say this right in front of them?
Yu LingXi and Yi Ling were at least smart enough to recognize Si YuFan. They stood quietly while XunMi and Si YuFan spoke. Seeing that the situation was turning against them, they spoke up. “Marshal Si, you can’t do this to us. You don’t have that authority. We are law-abiding citizens of the empire, we haven’t done anything wrong.” Yi Ling quickly called out. He still had many ambitions he needed to fulfill. He definitely couldn’t afford to fall now.
Yu LingXi was less worried. Her family background guaranteed that she could freely around the empire.
