They thought Le Yao would calm down, but just as Ruan Yunxi and the others were clearing away the dishes, a female comrade who was on good terms with Le Yao came running over with a flashlight: "Did Le Yao come here?"
Ruan Yunxi shook her head: "She didn't come!"
The woman panicked: "What should we do? Le Yao is missing. She's not in the family compound, nor at the guesthouse. Could something have happened to her?"
Ruan Yunxi gloated: "What does her accident have to do with us? If you're worried, go find the person in charge, or the comrade in charge of security in the family compound. My wife doesn't care about this."
The woman looked to Gu Weizhou for help.
Gu Weizhou said dismissively, "I don't know her."
Ruan Yunxi sneered, "Could it be that Le Yao sent you to find my lover? What is she testing? Does she think that if something happens to her, my lover will go to her, showing concern, care, and anxiety?"
The woman looked guilty, as if she had been caught out.
Ruan Yunxi laughed: "Come on, come on, take us to see her, and let us digest our food while we go. Let's see what kind of show she's putting on. Anyway, we don't have any entertainment tonight, so it would be a waste not to go see her since she's found something for us."
Gu Weizhou: "......"
The female errand runner: "......"
Ruan Yunxi was right; Le Yao was indeed doing it on purpose. She was at the beach, pretending to have been wronged and disappeared in an accident, all to attract Gu Weizhou's attention and prove that he still cared about her.
Hearing footsteps, Le Yao checked the time and knew it was him.
She immediately started faking tears.
The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for someone to hear.
The footsteps grew closer, and Le Yao cried even more pitifully.
As the footsteps approached from behind, a hand landed on her shoulder. Before the person could speak, Le Yao turned around, her eyes brimming with tears, looking pitiful. She said, "I knew Brother Xiao Zhou wouldn't ignore me. Brother Xiao Zhou, don't listen to your wife's nonsense, I..."
"What nonsense did I say?"
"What do you want to say? Say it, I'm listening!"
Ruan Yunxi smiled, her face full of mockery: "Keep singing, I'm waiting to see the show!"
"Why is it you?" Le Yao's expression changed.
Ruan Yunxi scoffed, "It's so late at night. Even if you're willing, my partner isn't. If a man and a woman alone together were seen by someone, it would be such a bad impression."
"You don't care about your reputation, but my husband does. Don't try to smear his name." Ruan Yunxi crossed her arms and looked at Le Yao, whose nose and eyes were red from crying. "You're shameless enough. Do you want me to sue you for breaking up a military marriage?"
"I didn't," Le Yao retorted.
If I get labeled with that, then I'll be in trouble.
"If you don't have any ideas, then get your head cleaned up and wake up. Do you really think others can't see through your dirty little schemes?" Ruan Yunxi grabbed Le Yao and pulled her into the waves. Waves crashed over her, almost drowning her.
Startled, Le Yao screamed, "Ruan Yunxi, what are you doing?"
"Ruan Yunxi, are you crazy?"
"Help! Someone's trying to kill me! Glug glug..." Le Yao's head was pressed down, and she swallowed an unknown amount of seawater.
The seawater was bitter and tasted absolutely awful.
Le Yao was terrified: "Let me go! I apologize! I promise I'll never bother your lover again! I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, please, please... *sobs*..."
Having swallowed a bellyful of water, Le Yao finally gave up struggling and rolled around in the seawater.
She was unable to resist, so Ruan Yunxi let go.
If we forgive and forgive even those who admit their mistakes, wouldn't that be too lenient?
Ruan Yunxi is ruthless; provoking her is like kicking a hornet's nest.
Looking at the now obedient Le Yao, who looked like a dead dog, she was as pathetic as could be.
Ruan Yunxi retorted, "From now on, avoid us if you see us, or you'll regret it."
Le Yao: "......"
Ruan Yunxi was in a good mood after teaching the man a lesson. She walked over to Gu Weizhou, who was watching silently not far away, and said, "Let's go back to sleep!"
