Ye Kun felt this scene was heartwarming as he stood at the kitchen door and watched. A good girl like Fang Xi deserved to be protected and treated like a princess. He was truly grateful to her ex-boyfriend; he wouldn’t have found such a lovely girl if the man hadn’t let her go.
After Fang Xi had fallen asleep, Ye Kun left, carrying Tuan Tuan—the dog was reluctant to leave—back home.
There, he called Shi Nian. “Are you back home?” he asked.
“Yes,” Shi Nian answered succinctly.
“The friend Lin Yu brought with her, Gu Man, is interested in you. Don’t forget, you have a wife now, so you should be more mindful,” Ye Kun jokingly reminded him.
Shi Nian was also quite annoyed at the woman and replied, “Let’s not invite Xi Cheng to our next social gathering.”
Xi Cheng brought Lin Yu along with him every time they met up together—or was it Lin Yu who insisted on following him? And her friends would come with her. Shi Nian was quite disgruntled by the fact that Lin Yu still brought Gu Man despite knowing she had feelings for him.
Ye Kun sighed, “It isn’t easy for Xi Cheng either, but he made his own choice. There’s nothing we can do to help. By the way, I wanted to ask, do you know that the screening schedules for the movie Fang Xi’s team produced were tampered with?”
“I do; I heard Yun Nan and Fang Xi talk about it. Fang Xi told Yun Nan not to worry; she’ll handle it.” Shi Nian truthfully recounted.
Ye Kun blew a fuse. “F*ck! Do you know how she dealt with it? She drank with those pot-bellied sleazeballs!”
Shi Nian had to move his phone further away from his ear. He felt Ye Kun was overreacting; this sort of thing was common in any business dealings. Perhaps he couldn’t accept it because Fang Xi was the one doing the schmoozing.
“So, I take it you want to help her? I’ve already instructed Chang Yuan to keep an eye on this, and we’ve already notified all the cinemas my company owns, as well as those we have a say in. Fang Xi’s very smart; she even suspected I had intervened in that scam and kidnapping incident. Fortunately, I said I hadn’t gone abroad all this time, so she let it go. Look at you, silently defending her and all that! I didn’t know you’re such a righteous soul.” Shi Nian’s voice carried a hint of teasing as he said that.
Ye Kun didn’t mind and told him, “I like her, so of course, I have to stand up for her. I get so angry when I think of some bastard trying to take advantage of her. I have to teach those people a lesson.”
Shi Nian admired his best friend’s straightforwardness and informed him,
“When Chang Yuan was dealing with this matter, he told me that Yun Nan’s studio and the cinemas already had an agreement, but later, someone from Yun Entertainment came and bribed the cinemas, so they switched sides.
Chang Yuan has already dealt with the cinemas my company owns.”
“Yun Entertainment? Doesn’t it belong to your wife’s family?” Ye Kun questioned; he’d pretty much worked out Shi Nian and Yun Nan’s relationship.
Shi Nian Man replied, “Yes, it does, but her family doesn’t like her, and they don’t hesitate when it comes to doing bad things to their kin. Our families are good friends, so I can’t move against them.”
Ye Kun sneered, “Alright, then leave it to me.” Nothing more needed to be said on the matter; the two had a kind of telepathy between them.
“Do you know anything about Fang Xi’s ex-boyfriend?” Ye Kun inquired.
Shi Nian shook his head. “Yun Nan mentioned him a few times, but it seems she hasn’t met him before. All she knows is that the guy is a scumbag who hurt Fang Xi deeply.”
Ye Kun fell silent.
“Do you mind that she had a past romance?” Shi Nian asked.
“No! Why would I care about that? I was thinking about what I can do to heal her broken heart,” Ye Kun uttered.
“Good luck, buddy!” Shi Nian encouraged him with a smile.
Shi Nian hung up the phone and raised his head to look upstairs.
Recently, Yun Nan had been working overtime; she was so busy that Shi Nian barely saw her. When they did meet each other, she always apologized for her absence and promised to make up for all the meals she owed him.
Even Ye Kun seemed to have made some progress with his pursuit, while Shi Nian was still where he started even though he and Yun Nan were married.
‘How depressing,’ Shi Nian thought. ‘I have to find a way to get closer to her.’
Yun Nan came downstairs in a sleepy daze with her hair down. When she saw him, she asked, “Do you not have work today? I’ll make breakfast. Do you want some?
Shi Nian nodded. “Yes.”
Yun Nan tied up her hair, washed her face, and went into the kitchen to work on breakfast.
Shi Nian stood at the kitchen door and said, “I need your help with something.” “Go on,” Yun Nan stated without pausing in her task.
Shi Nian deliberated momentarily before saying, “Can you accompany me to a get-together?”
Yun Nan was chopping up coriander when she heard that. She looked up, glanced at him, and asked, “Why the sudden invitation?”
Shi Nian didn’t know what to say. Seeing his behavior, a thought suddenly occurred to her. “Let me guess. Some lady took a fancy to you and refused to give up, so you want to use me as an excuse. Am I right?”
Shi Nian stared at her. “Is that alright with you?”
Yun Nan laughed, “Yeah, I’m okay with it. I am your wife, after all.”
‘She is still laughing,’ Shi Nian inwardly grumbled. “Is it that funny?” Shi Nian muttered, a little annoyed.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it. I just think that this situation is a little amusing… Shi Nian, have you encountered this problem before? How did you resolve it?” Yun Nan questioned, suddenly curious.
Shi Nian gave it a moment’s thought before telling her, “All I can say is… it’s troublesome.”
Yun Nan nodded. “Yeah, it’s probably best to use me as an excuse. Speaking of which, you’ve already confessed so affectionately in public. They should know you’re married, and yet they’re still harassing you? Looks like someonewants to be your mistress..”
