Chapter 2180: Chapter 2181: Do You Want Me to Stay?
Under the pressure from Long Zu Puti, Ye Xunhuan had no choice but to agree, even though he didn’t want to. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Ye Xunhuan knew very well what kind of person Long Zu Puti was. If she said something, she would definitely be able to do it. If she announced within the Huangtu Group that she was pregnant with Ye Xunhuan’s child, it would definitely cause a stir. It would absolutely be the most explosive news in the Huangtu Group, without a doubt!
So after work, Ye Xunhuan didn’t dare to slip away and run off, but left with Long Zu Puti.
Long Zu Puti didn’t take Ye Xunhuan anywhere special, just went to a hotel, which also happened to be the bar where Ye Xunhuan first met and had an encounter with Qin Muge!
In the Night Not Returning bar, Ye Xunhuan and Long Zu Puti sat at the bar counter. Long Zu Puti’s gaze was fixed on Ye Xunhuan, not moving for a moment.
At this moment, Long Zu Puti’s gaze appeared very sharp, as if trying to pierce through Ye Xunhuan’s heart.
But no matter how sharp her gaze was, in the end, it couldn’t penetrate Ye Xunhuan’s inner world.
Ye Xunhuan’s inner world seemed to be blocked by a door, completely preventing outsiders from peeping inside.
Being stared at by Long Zu Puti like this, Ye Xunhuan felt very uncomfortable all over, and it also gave him a creepy feeling.
Although being stared at by a beautiful woman is something worth bragging about, being stared at like this would make anyone uncomfortable.
"Puti, what did you want to say by bringing me to this place?" Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but ask.
When Ye Xunhuan followed Long Zu Puti to the bar, his heart was very uneasy. Was this woman trying to get him drunk and then take advantage of him?
Although the saying goes that if a woman is not drunk, a man has no chance, sometimes if the man is not drunk, doesn’t the woman also have no chance?
"Have you noticed? You’re very different from before!" Long Zu Puti said without preamble.
Ye Xunhuan was taken aback and looked at Long Zu Puti, confused: "Am I?"
"Before, in the underground world, you were a person who did whatever you pleased, with no attachments." Long Zu Puti said lightly. "But now you’ve changed. You have attachments, you..."
Long Zu Puti and Ye Xunhuan had not known each other for just a day or two, and when they met, Qiu Ruoxi had not yet appeared.
So Long Zu Puti was quite aware of some of Ye Xunhuan’s past.
Ye Xunhuan smiled awkwardly: "Big Sis, you’re not planning to discuss life with me in the bar and reminisce about the past, are you?"
Long Zu Puti gave Ye Xunhuan a once-over: "Do you think I brought you to a bar just to get you drunk and then sleep with you?"
Being called out on his thoughts by Long Zu Puti, Ye Xunhuan smiled awkwardly.
"Although I really want to do that, I know your drinking capacity very well." Long Zu Puti said lightly. "It’s more likely you’d get me drunk."
Long Zu Puti had never hidden her wish to sleep with Ye Xunhuan. Even now, that remained the case.
Hearing such straightforward words from Long Zu Puti, Ye Xunhuan was momentarily at a loss for what to say.
It wasn’t just now that Ye Xunhuan didn’t know what to say; even in the past, he wouldn’t know how to respond to such words.
Long Zu Puti glanced at the silent Ye Xunhuan, then spoke again: "But time flies. When I met you, you weren’t yet married, and didn’t even know who your future wife was."
"And in the blink of an eye, you’ve been almost married for a year now, right?"
Ye Xunhuan nodded and said simply: "Almost!" freewёbnoνel.com
It’s not that Ye Xunhuan didn’t want to say anything to Long Zu Puti, but he really didn’t know what to say or how to say it.
After all, the topic Long Zu Puti brought up was difficult for Ye Xunhuan to provide a lengthy response to.
"Time does indeed fly!" Long Zu Puti took a sip of her drink and then said again: "I remember when I first came over, the relationship between you and your wife wasn’t that good, was it?"
"It wasn’t too bad either." Ye Xunhuan replied vaguely.
When Long Zu Puti arrived, the relationship between Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi was not exactly good, but it wasn’t too bad either, which was true.
So when Ye Xunhuan said this, he wasn’t lying to Long Zu Puti.
"At that time, I thought I’d be dealing with the empress Liu Qingcheng, and considered her my enemy." Long Zu Puti sketched a self-mocking smile on her face. "But who would’ve thought, after sparring for so long, we’d both be defeated by Qiu Ruoxi in the end."
As soon as she finished speaking, Long Zu Puti corrected herself: "No, it was your mother we were defeated by!"
Ye Xunhuan fell silent, not knowing what to say, and Long Zu Puti’s words weren’t wrong.
Qiu Ruoxi was the wife Qin Fenghuang picked for Ye Xunhuan, and marrying Qiu Ruoxi was Qin Fenghuang’s dying wish.
At first, Ye Xunhuan just thought if he married her, he could divorce later if it didn’t work out and still fulfill his mother’s last wish.
But who would’ve thought the marriage wouldn’t end, and the two would gradually develop feelings for each other.
"If it weren’t for your mother, you and Qiu Ruoxi would have been people on parallel lines, right?"
"Maybe."
Long Zu Puti looked at Ye Xunhuan and chuckled: "Not maybe, but definitely. You know it in your heart."
Changing her tone, Long Zu Puti continued: "But fate works in mysterious ways. You not only married Qiu Ruoxi but also met Su Guyan here again!"
Ye Xunhuan really wanted Long Zu Puti to end this topic, but didn’t know how to steer it towards a conclusion.
Instantly, a sense of suffocating unease welled up within him, leaving Ye Xunhuan feeling a little at a loss.
Ye Xunhuan didn’t think Long Zu Puti was saying these things just on a whim.
"Of course, you also know that I noticed Su Guyan back then." Long Zu Puti said softly: "But I was surprised you didn’t drag me out of the shadows then!"
"Uh, Puti, let’s not dwell on ancient history," Ye Xunhuan said with a strained smile. "Spring Festival is near, a holiday is coming up. How do you plan to spend it this time?"
"Are you going back to Xumi Mountain to accompany your master, or staying in Jiangcheng?"
Long Zu Puti didn’t immediately answer, but stared at Ye Xunhuan for a moment before speaking: "Do you want me to return to Xumi Mountain or stay here?"
With a look of eager anticipation on her face, Long Zu Puti seemed urgent to know Ye Xunhuan’s answer.
Upon feeling the anticipation in Long Zu Puti’s eyes, Ye Xunhuan wished he could slap himself.
Why did he say such a thing for no reason? Wasn’t he just digging a hole for himself to jump into?
