The men's faces paled several shades as they recalled what they had done to Jian Yixue, knowing full well that they probably wouldn't survive this time.
Lin Yi looked at the ashen faces of the group and sneered inwardly.
Now you know fear!
When you hurt your wife, why didn't you think more about the consequences?
Serves you right!
Then he waved his hand and said, "Take him away."
The bodyguard nodded in agreement, helped the group into the car, and drove away from the scene, while Lin Yi stayed behind with the rest of the men to deal with the situation.
——
On the bus
Jian Yixue looked at Ye Mohan, who remained silent to the side, and asked with some concern, "Are you still angry with me?"
Ye Mohan remained unmoved, not even glancing at her. Now Jian Yixue was certain: Ye Mohan was truly angry.
Jian Yixue took Ye Mohan's hand and rested her head on his shoulder, looking obedient and apologetic.
"Honey, don't be angry. I know I was wrong."
Seeing that Ye Mohan still didn't speak, Jian Yixue raised her head, her big eyes blinking, which was even more endearing, and shook Ye Mohan's arm.
Upon seeing this, Ye Mohan instantly lost his composure, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Whenever Jian Yixue acts coquettishly, he will indulge and forgive her without any principles.
However, when his eyes fell on Jian Yixue, he pretended to be angry, thinking of teaching Jian Yixue a lesson.
Otherwise, who knows what even more dangerous things she might do next.
"Where did we go wrong?"
Jian Yixue was stunned and couldn't react for a moment.
She was wrong? In what way?
Jian Yixue tried hard to recall what had just happened, but still couldn't find where she had gone wrong.
She just saw that Ye Mohan was angry, so she thought of apologizing and trying to make him happy.
He then frowned and looked at Ye Mohan for an answer.
When Ye Mohan saw Jian Yixue's expression, he knew that the girl had just been trying to make him happy and had no idea what she had done wrong.
"Didn't you say you knew you were wrong?"
Jian Yixue looked at Ye Mohan, who was staring intently at her, smiled guiltily, and said reproachfully, "I was just trying to cheer you up because you were angry."
Seeing this, Ye Mohan felt somewhat helpless and reached out to tap her forehead twice.
He really had no way to deal with his silly girl; all his choices crumbled when it came to her.
Then a deep, magnetic voice came through.
"What angers me is that you clearly had a chance to escape, so why did you get off the bus? Why did you go to settle scores with them all by yourself? Why didn't you wait for me to arrive before taking action? What if they were skilled in combat or had a gun? Could you have defeated them with your bare hands?"
Jian Yixue blushed upon hearing this and was about to retort when she was interrupted by Ye Mohan, who seemed to be able to see through her thoughts. Then, she fell to the barrier in front of her.
"Don't tell me you have any special space. What if you don't? What if there's not enough time!"
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue pouted, somewhat unconvinced, and muttered under her breath, "The space has always been there, I can run in in a second, besides, I only went in because I was confident I could win..."
Looking at Ye Mohan, who was staring intently at her, Jian Yixue spoke softer and softer until the last few words were barely audible. But Ye Mohan still understood what she was saying through lip reading.
Ye Mohan was amused by Jian Yixue's antics.
Stubborn and deserves a beating.
This was Ye Mohan's first reaction.
Then, without saying a word, Ye Mohan picked up Jian Yixue, made her lie on his lap, and slapped her bottom several times.
Jian Yixue was startled by Ye Mohan's sudden action. When she realized what had happened, a slight blush appeared on her face.
The thought of being spanked suddenly overwhelmed her with resentment, and she buried her face in Ye Mohan's lap and began to sob loudly.
Thinking of her background, her childhood, and her experiences in this life and the past, she cried so hard.
Ye Mohan was expecting Jian Yixue to argue back, but instead he heard her crying.
He was stunned for a moment when he saw the hand that had just hit Jian Yixue, and then he regretted it.
Although he didn't hit her hard, Xue'er is a girl, how could she endure such humiliation?
How could he hit her?
Seeing Jian Yixue crying so sadly, Ye Mohan felt extremely heartbroken.
He lowered his head and coaxed, "Xue'er, don't cry. Did it hurt? Let me rub it for you. Be good, don't cry. It's my fault. I'll apologize, okay?"
He then reached out to rub the spot where he had hit Jian Yixue, but Jian Yixue immediately got up, sat on Ye Mohan's lap, and sobbed as she accused him.
"It doesn't hurt, I just feel wronged. I think I did nothing wrong. They provoked me first, ramming my car repeatedly, so I just wanted to get out and teach them a lesson. I also wanted to find out exactly what they wanted to arrest me."
And you underestimate me, you don't trust me. I can beat them. I used to be able to take on more than a dozen people by myself, let alone four of them. Even if they had guns, I could handle them. At worst, I have ways to save my life.
"Waaaah... You don't believe me... I'm so sad... so sad."
Ye Mohan looked at Jian Yixue, who was crying incessantly, his eyes filled with heartache. He gently wiped away Jian Yixue's tears with his long, slender fingers with distinct knuckles.
Hearing Jian Yixue's explanation, he was both amused and annoyed, but seeing Jian Yixue's distress, he didn't say anything more to her.
Ye Mohan had come to a profound realization: no matter how you reason with a woman, you're always in the wrong.
Ye Mohan held Jian Yixue tightly in his arms, patted her gently, and said softly, "It's your husband's fault, don't cry, Xue'er. I was worried about your safety. You don't know how scared I was when I received your call and heard that you were being followed."
Later, your call was inexplicably disconnected, and the fear in my heart almost buried me. I wished I could fly to your side immediately. On the way, I imagined countless possible outcomes, and I was almost going crazy.
Seeing you standing safely in front of me, my heart finally calmed down a little. I'm so glad you're alright, otherwise I don't know what would have happened to me.
It's not that I don't trust you, I'm just afraid you'll get hurt, and even more afraid of losing you. I can't bear the pain of losing you. Xue'er, promise me that even for my sake, you'll take good care of yourself from now on.
As long as you're safe, you can leave all these matters to me, and I'll investigate thoroughly. But I cannot allow you to take any risks whatsoever.
Upon hearing Ye Mohan's explanation, Jian Yixue's clear and bright eyes were filled with emotion, and she felt an indescribable feeling of gratitude.
She never imagined that she had already held such an important place in Ye Mohan's heart.
Her sadness stemmed from memories of the past, not from the few light slaps Ye Mohan had given her.
