“Next time something like this happens, call me immediately. Suffering wrongs for no reason isn’t a small matter. I’m your husband, and it’s my duty to deal with those villains for you,”
Sheng Tingyuan said very earnestly.
But Ye Chuyi didn’t take it seriously, “I can handle the villains myself. Wouldn’t it be an underuse of your abilities to have you step in?”
“Your affairs are my affairs, no matter what they are, it’s never an underuse. When will you stop treating me like an outsider? Why does Cong Ningyuan get to know about things that I don’t?”
Ye Chuyi felt even more helpless, “Why do you keep comparing yourself to him? He knows about it because Jungle had to stop supplying medicine to Dome. Xu Bingwen threatened to blacklist me in the medical industry, so naturally, I couldn’t let him off easily.”
Unfortunately, hearing this did not improve Sheng Tingyuan’s expression; it turned even uglier, “He’s so obedient to you? Whoever you tell him to stop supplying medicine to, he just does it. Are you two perhaps too close?”
Ye Chuyi didn’t know how to respond for a moment. Cong Ningyuan indeed followed her orders, at least more so than Sheng Tingyuan, and he never dared to show her any disrespect.
After all, she was Cong Ningyuan’s boss and benefactor.
However, she didn’t want to reveal this part of her identity, so she simply stayed silent.
If Sheng Tingyuan wanted to misunderstand, then let him. She didn’t care. Didn’t he have his own “white moonlight”? She had never meddled in his affairs!
Sheng Tingyuan wanted to hear her explanation, but she stubbornly remained quiet, which clogged his heart with discomfort.
His voice carried a tinge of sourness, “Do you like the type that Cong Ningyuan is?”
Cong Ningyuan was somewhat similar to her ex-boyfriend Qi Yunfan; both had gentle and warm temperaments, at least on the surface.
Sheng Tingyuan knew that the words gentle and warm were not at all associated with him.
Ye Chuyi stood up from his lap, “I don’t like any type. It’s late; it’s time to sleep. Good night, President Sheng.”
Her voice was clear, and her tone was even, showing no signs of emotional fluctuation.
Sheng Tingyuan felt she was like an impenetrable diamond, with no way to reach into her heart.
He watched her ascend the stairs and couldn’t help speaking again, “Why did you go back to Dome? Xu Bingwen threw groundless accusations at you, aren’t you going to pursue it?”
Ye Chuyi stood on the step, looking back at him, “My mentor is at Dome; he’s close friends with Xu Qiong. Moreover, Dome invested a lot in training me. Xu Bingwen has also apologized, saying he was deceived, so I can only let it go.”

Sheng Tingyuan detected the reluctance in her voice. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to pursue the matter; it was that she couldn’t.
“Then do you want me to deal with Xu Bingwen for you?”
“No need. He’s probably not having a good time lately, and besides, it seems he’s handling the person who caused the misunderstanding. Let’s not divert his focus. I hope he deals with that person severely.”
Sheng Tingyuan knew the person she mentioned must be Wen Nianyou.
It seemed she and Wen Nianyou were always at odds. She was content to see Xu Bingwen dealing with Wen Nianyou.
“Okay, noted.”
So, it turned out she still wouldn’t let him help with anything.
Sheng Tingyuan watched her finish climbing the last few steps and return to her bedroom, feeling somewhat bitter inside.
He had never seen a woman as calm and cold-hearted as her. In her heart, he feared his place was probably even lower than Auntie Wang’s.
Her smile was always sincere to Auntie Wang, while all he got was perfunctory treatment.
And she still called him President Sheng.
He had never found anything wrong with the title “President Sheng” before, but now he disliked those two words immensely.
