Ye Fan looked arrogantly at the woman in front of him with a cold smile on his face.
"Qiu Mu-Cheng, Qiu Mu-Cheng. You only know that one must not incur the wrath of the Li family, but did you know that one must also not incur the wrath of your man?!”
"You know that Li Er has immense power and influence, but did you know that no matter how powerful he is, he is only one of my dogs?!"
It was deathly silent.
The huge living room was filled with nothing else but the howling wind and the echo of Ye Fan's furious voice.
Qiu Mu-Cheng and Su Qian were both so frightened that their faces were pale and they were rooted to the floor.
They didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.
For some reason, they suddenly felt like the Ye Fan before them was so strange to them.
He was so unfamiliar, it made them afraid.
It made them feel as though they didn't know him at all.
After a long period of silence, Ye Fan took a deep breath.
His emotions had calmed down, so he turned to go upstairs.
But when he reached the bottom of the stairs, Ye Fan suddenly stopped and shook his head with his back facing them.
"You don't understand me at all." His low and quiet words flowed through the room with the wind.
By the time Qiu Mu-Cheng and Su Qian looked up, Ye Fan had already gone upstairs.
They were left with nothing but silence.
After a long time, Qiu Mu-Cheng looked at Su Qian with bloodshot eyes.
Her tears started flowing down her cheeks without her realizing it.
Her voice cracked as she said through her tears, "Qianqian, did I do the wrong thing? I meant it for his own good, so why doesn't he appreciate it? Or is it really because I don't understand him and everything he said was true?" Qiu Mu-Cheng continued to sob uncontrollably.
“Mu-Cheng, Ye Fan was too angry and just said those things in a fit. Don't tell me you're going to believe anything he said? How could those things be true? Master Li Er is so powerful and influential, so how could he be Ye Fan's dog? He was just saying all that out of anger," Su Qian tried her best to comfort Qiu Mu-Cheng.
But Qiu Mu-Cheng only cried even harder.
"Why should he say angry things? How could he shout at me like that? What did I do wrong? I did this for his own good and I was thinking for him, so how could he bully me like that?"
Qiu Mu-Cheng's tears continued to flow.
This was the first time in three years that Ye Fan had blown up so badly at her.
It was impossible for Qiu Mu-Cheng not to feel terrified or afraid as a result.
But of course, Qiu Mu-Cheng was upset and felt like she had been misunderstood.
She had said all that because she was worried about Ye Fan. Why didn't he appreciate it at all?
But Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't realize that concern could be shown in many different ways.
She had no idea that the things she said hurt Ye Fan's heart deeply instead.
But it was inevitable for a husband and wife to quarrel from time to time.
The two of them were still young and it was their first love relationship and marriage too, so there was no other way to bring themselves closer to one another besides going through one trial after another.
Su Qian felt bad when she saw how heartbroken Qiu Mu-Cheng looked and continued to comfort her, "Mu-Cheng, you didn't do anything wrong. That stupid idiot doesn't know what's good for him and doesn't appreciate your concern. You didn't do anything wrong, so don't cry anymore. When he's calmed down and thought it through, he'll come back to apologize to you..>"
A dim yellow light flickered and slowly filled the dark room with light.
