"Brother Ye, you have to believe me. We've known each other for so many years. I wouldn't even have the heart to crush an ant normally, so how could I possibly target her or deliberately frame her?"
Seeing that Ye Chen remained unmoved, Bai Lian'er continued to cry and defend herself.
However, Ye Chen's eyes turned icy cold as he looked at her. "I was already watching from upstairs when you ordered the servants to attack her. Did she force you to order people to attack her?"
Bai Lian'er's pupils contracted, and her face turned ashen.
How could this be...?
How could Ye Chen have been watching from up there so early?!
“I saw everything you did, taking the vase and preparing to ambush her. How do you explain that someone who wouldn’t even bear to crush an ant would want to kill her?” His voice was chilling to the bone, emanating a suffocatingly dangerous aura.
"I...I..."
Bai Lian'er was stunned, not expecting Ye Chen to have seen so much, and didn't know how to explain.
"She's my woman. Don't mess with her again, or even if she wants to kill you, I won't stop her," Ye Chen coldly warned Bai Lian'er.
Bai Lian'er was so angry that her liver and gallbladder felt like they were about to burst.
Ye Chen actually admitted that the woman was his woman?
That woman doesn't deserve it!
She is Ye Chen's woman!
How could he embarrass her in front of so many people?!
What methods did that bitch use to bewitch Ye Chen?
Ye Chen ignored Bai Lian'er and picked up Shi Nian, heading upstairs.
"Put me down!" Shi Nian frowned, struggling in annoyance.
Ye Chen glared at her darkly, "Where do you think you're going, wearing a bathrobe and barefoot?"
She wasn't wearing anything underneath, didn't she realize?
Dressed like that, isn't she afraid of running into bad people if she tries to go outside?
What if she moves too much and her robe opens up, and someone sees it?
Ye Chen grew angrier the more he thought about it. He sped up and, ignoring her protests, quickly carried her back to the room.
Ye Chen put Shi Nian on the bed, just about to teach her a lesson, but she quickly pulled up the blanket, crawled under it, and covered her head completely, looking like she didn't want to talk to him.
Ye Chen: "..."
"Niannian, I wronged you last time. I apologize. Please don't be angry anymore, okay?"
He forcibly pulled her out of the blanket.
To prevent her from hiding again, he held her tightly in his arms.
Shi Nian frowned in annoyance, "Let me go!"
Ye Chen said helplessly, "What do you want in return for my forgiveness? I'll do anything you ask, as long as you're not angry."
Shi Nian looked up at him.
After a long silence, he spoke mockingly: "Anything?"
“Okay.” Ye Chen nodded seriously. “You can make any requests you have.”
Shi Nian: "Kill Bai Lian'er."
"No." Ye Chen rejected Shi Nian's request without hesitation. "Niannian, don't be ridiculous. This is a matter of life and death. How can you just kill someone like that?"
Shi Nian couldn't help but chuckle.
Given his status and position, would he be afraid of taking a life?
For him, taking someone's life without leaving a trace is an easy task.
What utter nonsense about human life being at stake.
He just couldn't bear to kill them!
He had already seen her hitting Bai Lian'er before, but he hadn't stepped in to stop her. She thought he had changed his ways in this life.
But the result was still the same.
He still cares about Bai Lian'er just like he did in his previous life.
"Niannian, can you ask for something else?" Ye Chen nuzzled her head against her, as if he were pleading.
