Ye Cheng lowered his voice and said, "When we were living in the same dormitory back then, you didn't even react when we showed you adult films. At that time, we even questioned your sexual orientation, and you said the women in the films weren't good enough to attract your attention. I remember all of us asking what kind of woman would attract you... Do you remember what you said? You said you'd think about it when a woman manages to get close to you. For so many years, is there another woman apart from my sister who managed to get close to you? Perhaps, the only other woman is your grandma! Even your f*cking assistant is male! If it weren't for the fact that I've known you for so long, I would've doubted your sexual orientation as well!"
Mu Chen reached out and pushed Ye Cheng who had leaned in away before he said, "Shut up!"
Ye Cheng smiled and straightened his back. "Mu Chen, seriously, stop stirring up trouble. My sister keeps destroying things at home every day. Just think of it as doing me a favor. Please calm down, and stop this nonsense. We've been friends for so many years so please stop this for my sake."
Mu Chen smiled as he looked at Ye Cheng. However, his smile did not reach his eyes. "Ye Cheng, for the last time, I'm married. No matter how our marriage started, I'm very satisfied with where I am now. I like her very much. No, I'm in love with her. I'm only waiting for her to reciprocate my feelings. I'm enjoying the process of courting her and making her happy. Moreover, you know I've always been loyal."
Ye Cheng stared at Mu Chen; his smile was gradually fading. "Are you serious?"
Mu Chen nodded. "Yes."
Ye Cheng remained silent, but his gaze was still fixed on Mu Chen.
Mu Chen put down the tableware, leaned back on his chair, and returned Ye Cheng's gaze. "Yesterday, Ye Xin went to look for trouble with Song Ning. I'm guessing you're the one who investigated my wife. Did you think about the consequences when you did such a thing? I'm sure you did, but you just didn't care. After all, you knew Ye Xin wouldn't get into trouble no matter what; even if she did, all you need to do is spend some money to bail her out. You even sent bodyguards to protect her. Ye Cheng, I was the one who wanted to marry Song Ning; she didn't force me into this marriage. If you look for trouble with her over this matter, doesn't this mean you're dissatisfied with me as well?"
Ye Cheng's expression darkened immediately.
Mu Chen's tone was calm, but there was no mistaking the iciness in his tone as he said, "You should thank Song Ning. She handled the matter very well yesterday. The matter was dealt with peacefully, and Ye Xin didn't suffer too big of a loss. I would've made Ye Xin regret her actions otherwise. You know I've always been overprotective of those I love..."
Ye Cheng's expression changed upon hearing these words.
