In Ye Fan's opinion, things bought with money were the lowest of the low.
That was the reason why he looked down on snobbish and avaricious women like Qiu Mu-Ying.
But in a society dominated by materialism, women like Qiu Mu-Ying were in the majority. In such a world, sincere and pure women like Qiu Mu-Cheng were priceless. That was the reason why Ye Fan treasured his wife so dearly.
"Mr. Ye, your wife is long gone. Aren't you going to chase after her?" Shen Fei's teasing voice drifted to Ye Fan from behind him.
Ye Fan glared at him and said, "You had better not tell anyone that you saw me gettng scolded by my wife!"
If word got around that he was henpecked, he would not be able to command respect in Yunzhou.
Shen Fei chuckled and said, "Yes, of course. Of course. Hahaha-"
Ye Fan did not stay to chat, and hurried after Qiu Mu-Cheng who had already left in a huff.
Shen Fei shook his head with a laugh as he watched Ye Fan chase "slavishly" after his wife. "I guess it's true that everything has its vanquisher or natural enemy."
Just as Shen Fei was softly laughing away, his phone rang. The caller was his father, Shen Jiu-Yi.
"What? Master Er is coming to Jianghai tonight?"
"What the hell happened?"
Night had already fallen, when Ye Fan and his companions left the jewelry exhibition.
Sun Yu-Hao had wanted to show off in front of Qiu Mu-Cheng at the jewelry exhibition. But unexpectedly, he had ended up making a fool of himself. And Ye Fan had been the one to stand in the limelight.
The more Sun Yu-Hao thought about this, the angrier and more pathetic he felt.
"Yu-Hao, are we going back now?” Han Fei-Fei asked quietly. She could tell that Sun Yu-Hao was in a bad mood.
Just then, Qiu Mu-Cheng arrived at where they were.
Han Fei-Fei saw that her cousin was alone, so she asked in confusion, "Where is he?"
"Hmph, don't bother about him. I am pissed." Qiu Mu-Cheng's face was flushed red with anger, and she huffily insisted on returning home with Han Fei-Fei.
But just as the trio was preparing to drive home, a person in front turned to look at them.
"Eh?"
"Isn't this Mr. Sun?"
"Hahaha, it is fate!" Just then, a suited man walked up to them and shook Sun Yu-Hao's hand warmly.
Sun Yu-Hao was dumbfounded. "You are?'
"I am Wang Hao. Thank you for speaking up for me that time. It was all thanks to you that I managed to keep my job." Wang Hao laughed heartily and, as he spoke, his voice was filled with gratitude.
And, just then, Sun Yu-Hao remembered. "Oh yeah. I remember now. It's Hao. That was just a small matter. It's not worth mentioning."
Sun Yu-Hao waved his hand dismissively.
"Haha, it may be a small matter to you, but it was a really big deal to me. This must be your wife. As expected, she is a peerless beauty! You two are a match made in heaven!" Halfway through the conversation, Wang Hao had noticed Qiu Mu-Cheng and was stunned by her looks. He found himself unable to move his gaze away from her, and kept exclaiming with praise over her beauty.
Qiu Mu-Cheng blushed and quickly explained, "You are mistaken. I am not..."
"Yu-Hao, is he your subordinate? He's a sweet-talker. I also think Mu-Cheng is a good match for Yu-Hao.” But Han Fei-Fei cut in before her cousin could finish speaking.
