"Feel sorry."

Ye Dong cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

He remained humble throughout his interactions with Cheng Shanshan.

Cheng Shanshan frowned involuntarily as she looked at him: "Ye Dong, I know you're a good person, but no matter what, Liu Liu kidnapped my mother, and I have to do something."

"I know, I understand what you mean."

Ye Dong stretched out his hand and smiled slightly: "So you can just kidnap me. But Liu Liu has changed too much. I'm not sure if I still have that place in his heart."

"Let's tie them up first and then talk about it."

Cheng Shanshan didn't hold back and directly tied Ye Dong up and pulled him back.

The Ye family tried to stop him, but Ye Dong himself was willing and sent all those who wanted to save him back.

Cheng Shanshan hadn't expected Ye Dong to be so cooperative; the unexpected smoothness made her feel a little uneasy.

Ye Dong seemed to have seen through her thoughts, and raised his bound hands: "I'm just cooperating, I have no other intentions."

Cheng Shanshan glanced at him, her eyes slightly cold: "Ye Dong, if it weren't for the Liu Liu incident, I think we would have become friends."

"Who wants to be your friend?"

Ye Dong's words came out without hesitation, accompanied by a strong sense of killing intent.

But he quickly suppressed his emotions and smiled slightly, saying, "Shanshan, walking like this is boring. How about I tell you a story?"

Cheng Shanshan didn't say anything.

Ye Dong continued speaking to himself: "As you know, I had a fiancée before, and I actually liked her quite a bit, but who knew... she actually fell in love with my fifth brother. I was really heartbroken at the time."

"Firstly, I'm angry that woman is fickle, and secondly, I'm angry that my fifth brother disregarded our blood ties and actually tried to steal a woman from his eldest brother."

"However, after thinking about it, I realized that all the blood ties are fake. People are ultimately a little selfish and love themselves more. As long as they are happy, they can kill some people without a second thought."

"..."

The beginning of that statement was fine.

What followed made Cheng Shanshan feel an indescribable eeriness.

She stopped and turned to look at Ye Dong: "Brother Ye, what do you want to say?" She remembered something about the fifth son of the Ye family and Ye Dong's fiancée; it seemed that the two of them had left Ping'an City.

But what if I don't leave?

Ye Dong seemed to be giving himself some kind of hint.

At this moment, Ye Dong smiled unconsciously, a smile that looked extremely eerie in the dark night: "Isn't my meaning obvious? Shanshan, I don't believe you can't see that I like you." As he said this, he took a step forward.

However, since her hands were restrained, she could only raise her hand slightly and ask, "So, how about you leave Huo Mingchen?"

This topic made Cheng Shanshan extremely uncomfortable, and she frowned: "Brother Ye, I don't know where I misunderstood you. If I have, I will correct it in the future, but please don't make jokes like this again."

Ye Dong took a deep breath: "Why do you think I'm joking? I clearly think you like me too. It's just that you were angry with Liu Liu, and your actions of trying to steal the bride were nothing more than revenge, weren't they?"

"no."

The way Cheng Shanshan was spoken was extremely cold.

At this moment, she met Ye Dong's eyes: "The reason I went to steal the bride was primarily because that person was Huo Mingchen, and mainly because he was Huo Mingchen." She had previously chosen not to see it and tried to avoid this issue of feelings.

But after experiencing so much, she has changed.

Although she gave herself the reason of seeking revenge that day, deep down she knew that she did not want Huo Mingchen to marry someone else.

Ye Dong looked at Cheng Shanshan with disbelief in his eyes: "I don't believe it. If you really like him, how could you... let Liu Liu become a concubine as well?"

"What concubine?"

These words made Cheng Shanshan laugh: "You can go ask Huo Mingchen whether he admits to it or not."

Ye Dong: "Everyone saw this!?"

"So what? As long as he doesn't admit it, what does it matter what outsiders think?" Titles and such are just things in the eyes of outsiders. In this day and age, the last thing she cares about is worldly opinions.

It can be said that she and Huo Mingchen have known each other for so long, and while they may not have much else, at least they have the most basic trust in each other.

She dared not speak of the future, but at least for now, she was certain that Huo Mingchen only had her in his heart and soul, and that was enough, wasn't it?

Ye Dong never expected that Cheng Shanshan would think this way. He always thought that she could tolerate Liu Liu because she didn't care at all: "I really didn't expect that you and him had such a deep relationship."

"It's less about feelings and more about mutual trust and reliance."

Amidst years of famine and natural disasters, she truly felt that the trust that had allowed her to go through life and death together was the most important thing.

Coincidentally, Huo Mingchen was her ally.

At this moment, Ye Dong clenched his fists tightly, his whole body trembling uncontrollably: "I originally thought you were different from that bitch, that you at least had a moral bottom line, but I never expected you to be birds of a feather with her! You are both damned bitches!"

When Cheng Shanshan first saw Ye Dong's menacing aura, she narrowed her eyes slightly, a bold and terrifying thought flashing through her mind: "Did you kill your fifth brother and that woman?"

It didn't leave, it died.

That's why there hasn't been any news for so many years.

When Ye Dong heard her question, his smile became even more sinister: "How could I have killed them? They deserved to die anyway. After all, women who don't uphold traditional virtues shouldn't exist in this world." As he spoke, he somehow untied the ropes himself: "And my fifth brother, whom I raised since childhood, actually betrayed me for a woman. He deserves to die too."

"..."

Cheng Shanshan's body stiffened slightly.

She had always thought she was good at judging people, after all, she had lived a second life. She saw through many things that had kept her in the dark before, but the Ye family made her stumble.

Liu Liu changed her tune once.

Ye Dong came again, and his attitude changed again.

At this moment, she couldn't help but sigh: "Is it an ancestral skill of the Ye family to change faces? Does everyone have two faces?" She used to think that Ye Xi's temper was too explosive, but now she found that he was at least genuine.

They are much better than Liu Liu and Ye Dong, the siblings.

At this moment, Ye Dong suddenly grabbed Cheng Shanshan's hand, his eyes burning with passion: "Although you are no longer pure, I don't despise you. As long as you can come back to my side, I can give you everything you want, including the Prefect's wife!"
