My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 401: The 400th Episode of Heartbreak (Second Update)_1
 

“If I died, would you be a little happier? Then go ahead, hit me!” Ye Xiong faced the prospect of death with resignation.

Yang Xinyi knew he was skilled in martial arts and ignored him, stepping on the accelerator.

She had assumed he would dodge, but to her surprise he didn’t move at all and was sent flying by the car.

Fortunately, she braked quickly enough, otherwise the car would have run right over him.

“Are you crazy, why didn’t you dodge?”

Yang Xinyi hurried out of the car and, seeing Ye Xiong lying on the ground, scolded him emotionally.

“You don’t even give me a chance to explain, I might as well just die,” retorted Ye Xiong obstinately.

“Please… let me calm down. If you keep pushing me, I’m going to cry.”

Tears welled up in Yang Xinyi’s eyes as sadness made her speech less coherent.

Her sorrowful appearance was indescribably pitiful and pulled at Ye Xiong’s heartstrings.

He had thought there was nothing serious about playing around with Xiao Fangfang.

Which man wasn’t a bit scoundrel?

He had never considered that it would hurt Yang Xinyi so much.

“Xinyi, listen to me explain.”

If he didn’t clarify, she wouldn’t know how long she’d be upset. Ye Xiong pleaded urgently, “There’s really nothing between Fangfang and me, it’s not what you’re imagining at all.”

“If you weren’t guilty, why would you drive away to avoid me? You’re clearly guilty,” she accused.

“I was just scared you’d misunderstand, so I hid away!” protested Ye Xiong.

Seeing her disbelief, Ye Xiong explained everything that happened the night before, including their trip to the province capital and the dangerous incidents they faced, telling her every detail.

“Don’t think I’ll believe your lies. No matter what you say, I won’t trust you,” she shot back.

“I can swear to heaven I’m not lying.”

“If oaths were effective, you’d have been struck by lightning a long time ago.”

Ye Xiong: “…”

He finally understood the feeling of a mute suffering from bitterness they can’t express.

“I really didn’t lie to you.”

“How do you expect me to believe you?”

The more Yang Xinyi spoke, the more agitated she became, and finally, tears streamed down uncontrollably, “You spent the night in the same villa with Fangfang, alone together. When you saw me, you hid like a cat spotting a mouse; Fangfang, seeing me, was walking on thin ice, afraid to even speak. She was even in her pajamas, not wearing a bra. If there was nothing between you two, why would she dress like that?”

“She never let me in her house; I slept in the car all night. If you don’t believe me, look at me now.” Ye Xiong pointed to his dirtied clothes and body exuding a stench of sweat.

“With the way I look, would Xiao Fangfang want to have an affair with me?”

“Who knows if you deliberately put on dirty clothes to deceive me?”

However, her tone had clearly softened somewhat, less fiery than before; it seemed she was starting to believe him a bit.

“Dirty clothes can be changed, but you can’t fake the body, can you? Look at me, covered in sweat. You can tell the difference between a body that has showered and one that hasn’t, right? If you don’t believe it, come and feel for yourself,” Ye Xiong pushed his advantage while it lasted.

“Who wants to touch your body, get away from me.”

“Wife, I really didn’t lie to you, there’s absolutely nothing between me and Xiao Fangfang, nothing happened. I know you detest such things, so I’ve always been too scared to mess around. Even with the intent, I lack the guts!”

“So you admit you have the intent?” Yang Xinyi’s emotions, just calmed, flared up again.

Ye Xiong wished he could slap himself for saying all the wrong things at such a time.

“It was just a metaphor, you have to believe me!” he implored.

“I am not going to believe you.”

Yang Xinyi returned to the car, ready to drive around him and leave.

“Wife, are you just going to leave me here and not care?” Ye Xiong said urgently.

“Call Xiao Fangfang to take you to the hospital, or call Du Yuehua or Luo Weiwei, for all I care, I won’t be bothered about whether you live or die from now on.” Yang Xinyi turned the car around to leave.

Ye Xiong’s eyes spun, and suddenly he clutched at his waist and started screaming.

“Ouch, it’s killing me, my back is broken.”

“Could be internal bleeding.”

“Or maybe a broken bone, it’s killing me.”

Ye Xiong, clutching at his waist, rolled around on the ground, acting as if he was about to die.

His act was so convincingly real, he could have won an Oscar for it.

Seeing him like that, Yang Xinyi wasn’t sure if it was real or fake. Staying didn’t feel right, and neither did leaving. It frustrated her so much she felt like crying again.

How had she, a proud and aloof company president, been brought to tears by this guy so many times?

What sins did I commit in my past life to meet such an asshole?

“Ouch, it’s killing me.”

“My wife’s going to be left a widow.”

“Even if I don’t die, what if my back really is broken, how will I happily ‘papapa’ in the future, what am I supposed to do then?”

Yang Xinyi initially believed him a bit, since she was driving quite fast and the collision was heavy, but after hearing his last words, she doubted him completely.

A man who’s supposed to be dying from a car accident can still say such shameless things?

“Keep pretending, then.”

After saying this, Yang Xinyi drove around him and zoomed away.

“Wife, don’t go,” Ye Xiong shouted loudly.

But, the car was long gone.

“As flirty as I am, that’s how miserable I am now. Looks like my wife is really angry, what do I do?” Ye Xiong felt very troubled.

Just then, Xiao Fangfang called.

“Did you find Xinyi?”

“She’s at home, packing stuff up and going back to her mom’s place,” Ye Xiong said irritably.

This big-breasted brainless woman didn’t even realize that you can see the back of the villa from the stairway window, almost got me killed.

“Did you clear things up?” Xiao Fangfang asked urgently.

“Explained for a long time, she might believe me seventy or eighty percent, but she just won’t forgive me. Luckily, I didn’t go to your place to shower and change clothes last night, otherwise, even jumping into the Pacific Ocean wouldn’t explain it away.”

“You think I would let someone like you, all libido and no brains, into my house?” Xiao Fangfang said angrily.

“I’ve done my best here, now it’s up to you. When explaining, tell her everything that happened last night. I dare not lie anymore; one lie requires another to cover it up, and it’s just too painful.”

“If only you knew this would happen, why do it in the first place.”

“Everything else can be mentioned, just one thing you can’t say,” Ye Xiong reminded seriously.

“What’s that?”

“The part about you wearing pajamas and no underwear and… that thing this morning.”

“Drop dead,” Xiao Fangfang cursed out loud.

What a time for this guy to still be so shameless.

After that, Ye Xiong made sporadic calls to Yang Xinyi, but she never answered.

Ye Xiong knew she hadn’t cooled off yet and planned to go home and comfort her in the evening.

Heartbreak, just like a cut from a knife, needed time to heal.

Then, Ye Xiong drove back to Hunter Company, and as soon as he entered the company, He Mengji pulled him into the office.

“What is it? Just tell me!”
