Yueming doesn't like Yun Xiang, because Yun Xiang has nothing at all!
But Yueming also cannot leave Yun Xiang, because Yun Xiang has Han Yunkai!
Chapter 100
Yueming easily persuaded Zhong Luoyu to go to Chiang Mai. When she mentioned that Lin Jiahao would also be going, Zhong Luoyu was somewhat tempted. She then struck while the iron was hot by promising that Lin Jiahao would personally call to invite her, and Zhong Luoyu agreed without much hesitation.
The group set out from the Yun Mansion early in the morning and arrived at the Su family's villa in Chiang Mai in the evening. Exhausted from the journey, no one even had the energy to chat. They simply had dinner and went back to their rooms to rest.
Yunkai came out of the shower to see Yueming lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling. He took the towel he was using to dry his hair and threw it at Yueming: "What are you staring at if you're not sleeping?"
A damp towel was covered over Yueming's face. In the past, she would have pounced on him and punched and kicked him, but today she just silently pulled down the towel and threw it aside, continuing to stare at the ceiling in a daze.
What's so good about this ceiling that she's staring at it so long? Yun Kai looked up suspiciously. The Su family didn't come to this villa often, so there wasn't even wallpaper. There was nothing on the ceiling except a crystal chandelier!
He shook his head. If he couldn't understand, then he didn't understand. He was exhausted after driving all day. He threw the quilt over and lay down, just as he was about to get into a comfortable position to sleep, Yueming suddenly turned over and looked at him with burning eyes.
Yun Kai was startled, clutching his chest and saying in shock: "What are you doing? You scared me so much."
Yueming ignored his complaints and stared at him, saying, "I think there's something wrong with Su Shiyue."
Yun Kai said unhappily, "How could he be as wrong as you? He's not sleeping in the middle of the night with his eyes wide open like an owl." After saying that, he pulled the quilt over and prepared to go to sleep.
Yueming pulled off the quilt, knelt on the bed and said seriously: "I think Su Shiyue has bad intentions towards Miss Zhong."
She saw through it all, she's quite perceptive! He feigned impatience and said, "You really have nothing to do, what are you thinking about?" Then he went to pull the quilt over him again.
Seeing that he refused to listen to her, Yueming simply straddled his waist, held his hand, and said hurriedly, "I'm not kidding you. Think back, think back, ever since Miss Zhong became my French teacher, Su Shiyue has been coming to our house more often. We all went out to play, but Sister Wanzhi didn't come. He annoyed me during breakfast, and I got angry and said I couldn't come and wanted to go to Hua Hin with my eldest sister. He immediately agreed to my request. He even agreed to lend me his precious Mercedes-Benz. Wasn't it because he was afraid that if I didn't come out of spite, Miss Zhong would definitely not come either! I'm telling you, he definitely had ulterior motives when he invited us out this time."
Yunkai felt that Yueming's daily detective novels and Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School reading were truly worthwhile; his analysis was well-reasoned and accurate. If he continued to help Su Shiyue out now, he, as an accomplice, would surely be in big trouble once the truth was revealed.
He evaded the main point and said, "Then what are you going to do? Miss Zhong seems to be interested in Kevin. If she and Kevin really become together, she will have many opportunities to meet Shi Yue in the future. How will they get along then? So, you told her your suspicions, which only adds to her troubles. Besides, if Shi Yue doesn't have this intention, won't you alienate his relationship with Song Wanzhi?"
Yueming wanted to reply, "What's the relationship between him and Song Wanzhi?" But then he realized that wasn't very kind. He looked at Yunkai sullenly and said, "You're just protecting your cronies. Su Shiyue is the most shameless person there is. What wouldn't he do? I'm afraid he's planning on making Miss Zhong his concubine or mistress."
Yun Kai asked in return, "Being a young mistress in Kevin's house or being a concubine to Shi Yue, what do you think Miss Su will choose?"
"Of course I'll be Kevin's legitimate young mistress!"
Yun Kai spread his hands and said, "That's it. Are you afraid that Miss Zhong will make a mistake on such an easy multiple-choice question? You're really worrying for nothing."
Yueming felt that Yunkai's words were problematic. He didn't want to stop Su Shiyue, a married man, from doing dangerous things, and he put the blame on Zhong Luoyu. Zhong Luoyu was just a small tutor, and if Su Shiyue really did something shameless, what could she do?
Seeing that she was not giving up and wanted to continue this topic, Yun Kai touched the shoulder strap of her pajamas and said, "I thought I would let you go later. It seems that you are not tired at all!"
Every time she couldn't convince him, she would resort to this trick. Yueming held his hand again, blinked innocently and said, "Who said I'm not tired? I'm very tired, but I haven't had my bedtime milk yet. Go make some for me."
Yun Kai sat up, supported her waist, and kissed her shoulders gently: "I will work harder tonight, and you will sleep well even without drinking milk."
Covering his mouth with her palm, Yueming said with a look of no room for negotiation: "No, I want to drink."
Yun Kai extended his tongue and licked her palm, saying, "Just wean it off! Weren't you angry this morning when Shi Yue laughed at you for not being weaned?"
Yueming snorted and said sharply, "He made fun of me and asked me to stop drinking milk? He also made fun of me saying that eating is like taking poison. Should I stop eating too?"
These two guys really made him worry. Yun Kai collapsed back on the bed and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll make it for you."
When he got out of bed, put on his shoes and prepared to go downstairs, Yueming acted strangely again. She pulled his pajamas and said, "Can I go down with you? I'm scared to go alone."
Yun Kai said impatiently, "Then why are you ordering me around? Why don't you just go down and soak yourself?"
Yueming pouted and said aggrievedly, "I told you I was scared. How could I dare to go down alone?"
What a troublemaker! Yunkai stretched out his arms towards her. Yueming happily crawled over and hugged his neck, wrapping her legs around his waist. Yunkai lifted her hips and scolded, "You're just a clingy person."
Anyway, he had already succeeded, so let him say whatever he wanted. Yueming happily buried her head in his neck, kicking her legs and shouting, "Go!" Before she could feel proud, she was slapped on the butt.
When Yun Kai carried her down the stairs, she realized belatedly that she was wearing too little. She looked at her camisole pajamas with borders on, hunched her shoulders and said, "Should I put on my robe?"
Yun Kai carried her into the kitchen. He was busy looking for a cup and thermos and didn't pay any attention to her. After he finished making the milk and went upstairs, he scolded her lightly, "Are you embarrassed now? I just came downstairs to make milk for you, but you, a clingy person, had to cling to me like this. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if others saw you?"
Yunkai held the milk in one hand, so he could only support her with one. Yueming's body involuntarily tilted to the side. The shoulder strap slipped off her shoulders, revealing a large expanse of her snow-white back. She clung to Yunkai's arms and legs, pressing her chest tightly against his. She buried her head in his neck and moaned, "Don't think of leaving me alone. Anyway, if you don't take me with you, I'll grow on you."
Yun Kai's impatience was tinged with a smile: "How annoying! You asked for this. Don't start crying and complaining about being tired after just a few moves. Open the door, I can't free my hands."
The previous day's journey had been exhausting, so the planned hunt had been postponed for a day. After dinner, Yueming took Zhong Luoyu for a stroll by the lake to help digest the food, while the men drank and chatted in the living room.
Su Shiyue was still resentful of Yueming for extorting him when she came. Now he even dragged Zhong Luoyu away and slandered her to Yunkai: "Your fiancée is extremely arrogant and domineering. You need to teach her a lesson. Let her know what it means to be virtuous and to put her husband first. Don't make all the noise and do nothing all the time, and don't just pick up things and put them down."
Yun Kai was troubled by their feud and didn't want to pay any attention to him. Luo Er smiled and said, "You're just making things difficult for Yun Er. Who would be willing to bully such a lively and beautiful girl into a rain-soaked pear blossom? If he doesn't show some mercy to her, there are plenty of people who will help him water her and loosen the soil..." Luo Er changed the subject, approached Yun Kai, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "You've got to protect this delicate flower of yours well. There are many people who want to pick it!"
Yun Kai smiled nonchalantly and said, "You think no one covets her when she's in Yun Xiang, but she's still engaged to me. My girl has been inseparable from me since she was a child. Although she never gives in, she never goes west when I say east."
A group of people booed him for bragging, and even if Xiao A Yue gave in, she was not convinced in her heart.
Yun Kai just smiled without saying anything. Although it was a headache sometimes, he liked Yue Ming's current personality. These people would not believe these words. They had not seen Yue Ming's appearance when he first came to Yun Xiang. He was taught by his father-in-law to be fake. Now it's so good. He can laugh when he wants to laugh and scold when he wants to scold. Every time he was wronged, he would lie on his chest and cry and pound, like beating a drum to complain. Although he raised her so pampered and refused to bear any anger, but what did it matter? With him around, who would dare to let her be angry?
Young Master Liu asked curiously, "There's a big age difference between you two. Logically, you should have married a noblewoman from Yunnan a long time ago. Why did you marry someone as young as Little Ayue?"
Yun Kai said with a helpless smile: "I raised her. I have a great responsibility to raise her to what she is today. I can't let her bring harm to other families. I'd better bear it myself!"
The smugness gleaming in the midst of grievance made a group of people itch. It was really a case of taking advantage and still acting cute. I let you marry someone you don't like, just like Su Shiyue. Let's see if you can still be so irritating?
No one knew what he was recalling, but his eyes were blurry and his intoxicated look stunned everyone in the room.
Lin Jiahao nudged Luo Er with his arm and whispered, "I thought Old Su was the most coquettish among us, but I didn't expect Yun Er to be so coquettish that he's really chilling."
Luo Er shook his head helplessly and smiled: "How could he not be proud to marry a girl like Xiao A Yue?" When he first saw Xiao A Yue in Kunming, he was also dazzled by the bright girl in the plum-red cheongsam with pearls.
At this time, Yueming came in with Zhong Luoyu on her arm and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?"
Yun Kai deliberately put on a stern face and said to her, "Shi Yue is teaching me the art of controlling my wife. Do you want to try it?"
Yueming opened her mouth wide and looked at Su Shiyue who was glaring at Yunkai. She thought that this Su guy really didn't want to be a human being anymore.
She said to Yun Kai earnestly, "What sophisticated techniques can he teach you about controlling your wife? He'll only teach you to beat her. His own life is like a bloody storm of grudges in the martial arts world, and he can't stand seeing others prosper. Don't be fooled by him."
The crowd roared with laughter. Yun Kai glanced at Zhong Luoyu, who was still held by Yue Ming's arm, and said meaningfully, "Shi Yue's popularity with women is extraordinary. All the men present can't compare to him. He has plenty of ways to deal with the women he likes. There's no need to be so violent as to hit them."
"What tricks? Just because of his singing voice that's so expensive that even eight verses for a penny wouldn't be enough?" Yueming curled her lips in disdain. "Young Master Su should be thankful he was born into a good family. Otherwise, with his skills, he wouldn't even be able to beg for food better than the beggars on the street. The beggars under the Kunming city gate tower sing lotus songs that are miles better than his."
Su Shiyue was so angry at her venomous words that he laughed. He said in a cold voice, "Yes, I am lucky to have married a lady from a noble family. It's just pitiful for Yun Er, a young master of a chieftain's mansion, so handsome and talented, but he has to marry a shrew like you."
Arguments don't have to be face-to-face; there's a science to striking a blow from afar. Yueming ran over to sit next to Yunkai, put her arm around his, and said sweetly, "Darling, let me tell you, some men don't dare take their wives out because they're afraid they'll meet other good men and be compared to nothing. I'm different. The more men I meet, the more I love you. In my eyes, those men are just ordinary people. They're not even worthy of being compared to you. Your place in my heart is irreplaceable."
Yun Kai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had never heard her say such sweet words when they were in the bed, but she dared to say such disgusting words just to compete with Su Shiyue.
Yun Kai blew a puff of smoke at her frivolously and raised an eyebrow, "What position do I hold in your heart? I'm just second best forever! As long as your father is around, who else can you care about?"
Yueming was determined. She glanced at him coquettishly, pouting her lips slightly as she said, "Of course Daddy should take it seriously. It's filial piety. But you should take it to heart."
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, thinking these two were a perfect match. Luo Er swallowed the sour water that threatened to rise in his throat and suggested, "Outside, the moon is bright and the wind is clear. Why don't you two go out and talk about your feelings under the moonlight? Don't provoke us here."
Yueming rolled his eyes inwardly. You guys are the only ones who think Yunkai and I are corny? I even think you're leading him astray!
She put her face on Yunkai's arm and said coquettishly, "Since they think we're an eyesore, why don't we just go back to sleep? You have to get up early tomorrow and go up the mountain to hunt rabbits for me!"
After acting coquettishly, she asked Zhong Luoyu maliciously: "Miss Zhong, you must be tired after walking by the lake for so long. Why don't you go back to your room and rest?"
As soon as the words fell, Lin Jiahao and Su Shiyue's faces darkened. Yueming pretended not to notice the cold arrows whizzing in their eyes. He took Yunkai with one hand and Zhong Luoyu with the other, and dragged them upstairs to rest.
Lin Jiahao was dumbfounded: "If she wants to sleep, she can just take Yun Er with her. Why did she take my girlfriend with her as well?"
Su Shiyue smiled maliciously: "Your girlfriend? Look at how protective little Ayue is of hers. I'm afraid Miss Zhong is the second wife she prepared for Yun Er."
Luo Er spit out a mouthful of wine and laughed. What kind of ghost story did Su Shiyue tell Xiao Ayue to take Yun Er as a second wife?
