My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 432: Chapter 0431 Never Offend a Woman (First Update)_1

Ye Xiong finally understood what it meant to shoot himself in the foot.

He had just been joking with Zhang Liyan, teasing her to get her to give up and stop bothering him. He could never have dreamed that he would be outmaneuvered.

“You don’t really believe what she said, do you?” Ye Xiong weakly asked Yang Xinyi.

“I do.”

Yang Xinyi nodded emphatically, “It’s exactly your style of speaking. There’s no other man in the world who would say something so shameless.”

Now he really had made a mess.

...

“Honey…”

“I’m not your wife.”

“Xinyi, you know I like to joke around. I was just teasing her.”

Seeing Yang Xinyi getting angry, Ye Xiong pointed at Zhang Liyan and said, “Look at her, with a tiny butt, small breasts, and short hair, she looks just like a Demon. Do you really think I’d be into that kind of woman?”

Zhang Liyan’s face turned blacker than a black hole.

In her years as a celebrity, she had been the subject of much criticism, but she had never been insulted quite like this.

“Open your damn eyes and see, where am I not beautiful?” Zhang Liyan trembled with rage.

To say her breasts were small when she clearly had a B cup, to claim her butt was tiny when it was actually quite perky, to label her a Demon when she looked this good – did she need to take her pants off for a check?

“Anyway, I don’t find you pretty. Compared to our Xinyi, you are way out of your league,” Ye Xiong moved towards Xinyi to explain, “Xinyi, you know me best. Do you think I’d go for her type?”

Yang Xinyi glanced at Zhang Liyan, thinking that this woman didn’t seem to be Ye Xiong’s type at all.

It wasn’t that Zhang Liyan wasn’t pretty; she just seemed a bit androgynous, more traditional, conservative, the strong performer type.

Whereas Ye Xiong preferred the sexy type of female stars.

From that standpoint, she truly wasn’t his cup of tea.

But would Yang Xinyi admit that? Obviously not.

“We are just friends now, so do whatever you want,” Yang Xinyi said.

If they were just friends, why did she look darker than the bottom of a pot when she heard Zhang Liyan speak earlier?

Women just love to pretend.

“I have nothing to do with Zhang Liyan, believe it or not,” Ye Xiong didn’t want to explain further.

The innocent need no defense; to explain more is to cover up.

Yang Xinyi left, and Ye Xiong followed her.

Zhang Liyan stood rooted to the spot, stunned for a long moment before she remembered her purpose.

She had come to become an apprentice – oh my God, what had she just done?

She had managed to offend her potential mentor; wouldn’t asking for apprenticeship now be even harder?

Zhang Liyan had always been fiercely competitive in her life, determined to achieve the impossible.

She gritted her teeth and followed.

“What are you following me for? I’m warning you, if you keep bothering me, I’ll lose my temper.”

“Master, I was just kidding with you,” Zhang Liyan giggled.

“Who’s your master? Don’t talk nonsense.”

Ye Xiong quickly went to Yang Xinyi’s side and said seriously, “Xinyi, did you hear that? She admits that she was just joking with me. This morning when I was buying vegetables, she started clinging to me. If it wasn’t for my strong will and having only you in my heart, I would have been seduced by now.”

Finally, Yang Xinyi understood what it meant to lie while seemingly telling the truth.

Didn’t he feel ashamed saying all that?

“Alright, let’s just say I’m pestering you.”

Zhang Liyan couldn’t be forceful, so she softened her approach. She walked over to Yang Xinyi and pleaded, “Sister, could you let Ye Jun teach me martial arts, please? I promise, I just want to learn martial arts, and I have no other intentions.”

“Thou doth protest too much, methinks. Who knows if you’re not using learning martial arts as an excuse to get close to me? I definitely won’t be fooled,” Ye Xiong said seriously.

“There’s nothing between him and me. It wouldn’t matter to me even if you two slept together; it’s none of my business,” Yang Xinyi stated.

Zhang Liyan looked at Ye Xiong, then at Yang Xin, sensing definitively there was an issue between them.

Recalling what she had seen in the papers, if her guess wasn’t wrong, Ye Jun must be trying to pursue Yang Xinyi, and he hasn’t succeeded yet.

What if she helped him out and he managed to win over Yang Xinyi, would he possibly agree to her request then?

With this thought in mind, Zhang Liyan approached Yang Xinyi and said with a smile, “Sister Xinyi, I don’t know if you like acting, but if you do, I could arrange a role for you, so you could make an appearance on TV or in a movie.”

“I can’t act, nor do I like it,” Yang Xinyi declined.

“I think with your temperament, you would look great on screen.”

“Stop, just stop…”

Ye Xiong already knew what she was up to and blocked her way, “Zhang Liyan, if you’re trying to thank me for saving you last time, I accept your gratitude, but if you have any other ideas in mind, please, go ahead. I definitely won’t agree because Xinyi is the only one in my heart.”

After saying that, Ye Xiong left with Yang Xinyi.

Watching them walk away, Zhang Liyan stamped her foot in frustration and muttered, “I don’t believe I can’t become your disciple, just you wait and see.”

After saying that, she left first.

Ye Xiong, seeing that she didn’t follow, sighed in relief.

“Seriously, acting all high and mighty just because you’re a big star. You’re far from being on par with my Xinyi,” he said.

“Enough, don’t say another word or I’ll throw up,” Yang Xinyi retorted, too weak to argue.

“Fangfang called and asked me to help her buy some pearl powder from Tong Rentang,” Yang Xinyi mentioned.

Buying her pearl powder, he should mix in some chalk dust to turn her into Ghost Face, Ye Xiong cursed inwardly.

Wouldn’t he be in such a mess if it weren’t for Xiao Fangfang?

He suspected that Zhang Liyan knew about his residence must be because of Xiao Fangfang’s leak.

At this thought, a sinister smile appeared on his lips.

This chalk powder won’t ruin her face, but it will surely make her uncomfortable for a while.

Next, the two went to Tong Rentang and purchased the pearl powder. While Yang Xinyi wasn’t looking, Ye Xiong sneaked in some chalk dust; now, let’s see how she deals with this.

Finally having some leisure time to stroll around, they roamed the streets until the evening before they returned home.

Ye Xiong had hoped to improve his relationship with Yang Xinyi a bit, but she kept her distance from him the entire time.

During the shopping mall visit, Ye Xiong grabbed her hand a few times, but she shook him off each time.

This wife of his was becoming more and more temperamental.

By evening, as the two returned home, a red flag sedan was parked at the entrance, apparently with someone waiting inside.

Such cars were reserved for national leaders only.

Yang Xinyi glanced at the car and felt inwardly alarmed, knowing someone of significant importance had come looking for Ye Xiong.

“Xinyi, you go up first,” Ye Xiong said.

Yang Xinyi nodded and went upstairs first.

Ye Xiong walked over, opened the car door, and sat down inside.

Long Zaitian was in the car.
