Xu Lei knew a little about Ye Fan and the Chu family.
After Ye Fan was chased out of the Chu family, Xu Lei had been very worried about his situation. She had eventually set up Hongqi Group so that she could find Ye Fan and provide him a safe place to live and develop.
But unfortunately, the corporation that she built from scratch was taken away by the Xu family.
The person-in-charge in Yunzhou right now was sent by the Xu family.
But Ye Fan's achievements had surpassed Xu Lei's expectations.
Since he could make the Xue family bend to his will, then her so called powerful Hongqi Group wasn't much to him, right?
But Ye Fan didn't bother being humble after receiving this compliment. Instead, he smiled back proudly, "Of course, do you know whose Fan I am? My Lei is so pretty and talented, so if I'm not capable enough, then I won't be able to protect you, and you might have to protect me instead. Isn't that very embarrassing for me as a man?"
Ye Fan's words were like the warm spring breeze and Xu Lei felt that they were exceptionally warm and sweet.
Her eyes started to turn a little red.
Xu Lei had been working so hard all by herself all these years. Her parents had passed away and her family was heartless.
The only person who was nice to her now was probably Fan.
"Lei, what's wrong?" asked Ye Fan worriedly when he noticed she looked strange.
Xu Lei shook her head and suppressed the emotions in her heart. She then put a smile back on and said, "Fan, you're just humoring me. If you were bothered about being embarrassed, then why would you have married into the Qiu family?"
"Even if you couldn't find a wife, you didn't have to put yourself through such suffering. If you really couldn't find anyone there's always me..."
Xu Lei's face reddened as she spoke. The last sentence was so soft that it was barely audible, and she wasn't sure if Ye Fan heard her.
Ye Fan scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, "Well, the situation called for it then, so I didn't have much choice. But Lei, you don't have to feel bad for me. Mu-Cheng is actually quite nice to me, but she's a little aloof and even though we're married for so long, she doesn't let me sleep with her."
Ye Fan didn't feel the need to hide anything from Xu Lei.
When they were children, Ye Fan had already viewed her as his best friend, and now she was like his real younger sister.
He didn't care about whether it was embarrassing or not, and just spoke his mind.
But after hearing this, Xu Lei couldn't help but chortle.
"Fan, you've been married for so long but..." Xu Lei covered her mouth and continued to stifle her laughter.
Her laughter was muffled but it was still so pleasant to the ears.
If someone else were here, they would have been mesmerized by Xu Lei's beautiful smiling face.
But Ye Fan wasn't in the mood to appreciate this scenery. His expression darkened.
"You terrible little girl, how dare you laugh at me? Did you think that just because you're all grown up and you're now the goddess of Jiangdong and a scary CEO, I wouldn't dare to teach you a lesson?" Ye Fan said fiercely to Xu Lei and looked like he was going to beat her up.
But Xu Lei wasn't scared at all. She said that she was wrong and wouldn't do this again, but also continued to laugh merrily.
In her mind, Fan had always been a prideful man.
No matter how much humiliation he went through in the Chu house, he never gave in to anybody.
Even when faced with so many powerful families in Yanjing, Ye Fan continued to face them coldly and used his sheer might to step on half of Yanjing with one foot.
But Xu Lei really found it hard to imagine that this man who was hailed a hero and admired by so many bigshots in Jiangdong was actually of such low status in his own family.
He had been married three years but he couldn't even sleep with his wife.
