Chapter 390 - 391: Yes, Young Master!

“Cousin… cousin?” Leng Peini looks at Ye Xingli, then at Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingbei, suddenly laughing wildly, she pointed at Ye Xingbei and asked Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli: “Why? Why didn’t you tell me she was your cousin though she obviously is? If I had known she was your cousin, how could I worry needlessly, behave dishonorably, and maliciously seek to harm her?”

The more she spoke, the more hatred she felt, the less satisfied she was. She rushed towards Ye Xingli, grasping his collar, her tears streaming as she shook him urgently, “Tell me! Speak up! Why? Why didn’t you tell me she was your cousin? If you had told me earlier she was your cousin, that you couldn’t possibly marry her, I wouldn’t have seen her as a rival, I wouldn’t have to worry day and night that she would take you away, I wouldn’t have been so foolish to wish that Ye Xingbei didn’t exist in this world!”

Gripping Ye Xingli’s collar, she shouted out in a breakdown: “It’s all your fault! It’s all because of you! If you had told me that Ye Xingbei was your cousin, I wouldn’t be so scared every day, so tormented, resorting to such stupid acts out of fear and pain! Why? Why?! Ye Xingli, I’ve been so good to you, I gave you all of my heart, why did you deceive me? Why?”

Ye Xingli forcefully pushed her away, instinctively looking at Ye Xingbei, feeling slightly guilty.

But his guilt was towards Ye Xingbei, not Leng Peini.

As for why he refused to acknowledge his relationship with Ye Xingbei, the person he owed an explanation to was Ye Xingbei, not Leng Peini.

He turned to Gu Chi: “Please call my personal bodyguard in.”

Gu Chi looked towards Gu Junzhu.

Gu Junzhu, who had been watching the drama unfold with a faint smile, nodded slightly.

Gu Chi gave a respectful nod, turned around, and left.

Soon, Ye Xingli’s personal bodyguard, Zhen Qi, followed Gu Chi into the living room.

Zhen Qi went behind Ye Xingli, bowed his head and greeted: “Young Master.”

Ye Xingli pointed at Leng Peini: “Get her out of here, and issue orders that I have broken up with Leng Peini. From this day on, there are no longer any relations between the Ye family and Leng Peini. I don’t want to see her showing up anywhere related to our family or our company. Understood?”

Zhen Qi obeyed: “Yes, Young Master!”

He stepped forward, made a ‘please’ gesture towards Leng Peini: “Miss Leng, please!”

Leng Peini’s face was as pale as paper, and her body was trembling like a leaf in the autumn wind.

She rushed up to Ye Xingli, trying to grab him, but Zhen Qi caught her wrist, twisted her arm behind her, and forced her to turn around and head towards the exit.

Leng Peini struggled desperately, but she was no match for Zhen Qi’s strength.

She screamed out in despair: “Ah Li, I beg you, don’t be so heartless, I love you! I only love you! I’m willing to do anything for you. Please, don’t let me lose you! I can’t lose you, without you I will die, Ah Li, I beg you, forgive me this time, Ah Li, I won’t dare to do it again, please spare me this one time, Ah Li…”

Her voice gradually faded away, finally disappearing into the distant night.

Ye Xingli closed his eyes and slumped onto the sofa. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

His heart ached.

He didn’t know if his feelings for Leng Peini were indeed love.

But he was sincere towards Leng Peini.

He had seriously considered his future with Leng Peini.

Unfortunately, he misjudged her.

After a long silence, Ye Xingbei suddenly said, “Alright, we’ve put an end to the matter with Leng Peini. Now, it’s time for us to discuss our own affairs.”

Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli both looked at him simultaneously, unknowingly straightening their postures, taut with tension.
