Gu Feng glanced at his watch, twenty minutes and twenty seconds. Ye Zixun really did speed over, managing to reduce a one-hour journey to just twenty minutes. Gu Feng couldn't help but admire Ye Zixun's driving skills.
“Lan Baobao, come home with me.” Ye Zixun took off his sunglasses and, after scanning the crowd, spoke coldly.
Since Ye Zixun got out of the car, Lan Baobao had been frozen in place, unable to move. How did he come back? Lan Baobao was puzzled; could it be that Ye Zixun had a tracking device?
“Hmph, I don’t want to.” However, in this situation, Lan Baobao still resolutely refused Ye Zixun.
Ye Zixun snorted coldly. Upon seeing Mu Jiangfeng standing next to Lan Baobao, his expression darkened further. Very well, Lan Baobao, you have some guts.
“What, are you having so much fun outside that you’ve forgotten your home? You’d rather go out with another man than come back. Lan Baobao, do you have no shame?” Ye Zixun was furious; he felt that Lan Baobao was becoming increasingly ungrateful. He, the distinguished young master, had humbly asked her time and again. Yet, Lan Baobao continued to reject him.
“You... you’re talking nonsense.” Lan Baobao was deeply hurt by Ye Zixun's words and immediately felt tears welling up in her eyes. Li Xiaoran noticed and quickly hugged Lan Baobao, softly comforting her.
After hearing Ye Zixun's words, Gu Feng coughed a few times forcefully. It was only after Gu Feng's reminder that Ye Zixun realized how absurd his words were. However, once hurtful words were spoken, they could not be taken back.
“Ye Zixun, what are you saying? I was just having a meal with Baobao; is that really so terrible?” Mu Jiangfeng interjected after hearing Ye Zixun's remarks. The atmosphere became tense. Was it true that Baobao lived in such an environment? If so, he would spare no effort to win Lan Baobao over to his side. Ye Zixun, who didn’t cherish Lan Baobao at all, was simply unworthy of being her husband.
“Master Mu, this is my family matter and has nothing to do with you. I hope you don’t overstep your bounds.” After hearing Mu Jiangfeng’s words, Ye Zixun’s anger flared up again. Very well, Lan Baobao, you really are something else; so many men care for you. It was simply shameless.
“You! Ye Zixun, I warn you not to go too far.” Mu Jiangfeng knew that he indeed had no relationship with Lan Baobao; this was something he had always cared about deeply. He vowed to win Lan Baobao for himself.
Ye Zixun shot a glare at Mu Jiangfeng and couldn’t be bothered to deal with him anymore. Seeing Lan Baobao in Li Xiaoran’s arms with red-rimmed eyes caused a momentary pain in his heart. But the pain came too quickly for Ye Zixun to grasp.
“Lan Baobao, hurry up and come back home with me.” Ye Zixun spoke to Lan Baobao once more.
“No, I’m going to Xiaoran’s house; I don’t want to go back.” Though Lan Baobao’s eyes were red, her tone showed no sign of softening. Today she was determined not to return to the Ye Family Mansion; no amount of threats from Ye Zixun would have any effect.
“Are you sure?!” After hearing Lan Baobao’s words and realizing she didn’t want to leave with Mu Jiangfeng, Ye Zixun finally felt relieved. However, his face remained grim. As long as she wasn’t with another man, it was fine; after all, Li Xiaoran was still Lan Baobao’s best friend.
“Mm.” For the first time, Lan Baobao was this resolute—a side of her that Ye Zixun had never seen before.
Ye Zixun remained silent for a long time without speaking.
“Ye Zixun, didn’t you hear that Baobao doesn’t want to go back to the Ye Family? Why are you still forcing her?” Mu Jiangfeng couldn’t help but speak up again.
“Shut up! Don’t think just because you’re from the Mu Family that I won’t dare touch you. Mu Jiangfeng, you’re still very green,” Ye Zixun snapped angrily at Mu Jiangfeng’s repeated provocations.
After hearing Ye Zixun's words, Mu Jiangfeng's face instantly turned pale. He had to admit that Ye Zixun was right; he had just returned to the Mu Family and was indeed inexperienced. However, this did not mean that Mu Jiangfeng would become stronger in the future.
Mu Jiangfeng took a deep breath and buried Ye Zixun's words deep in his heart. After putting on a gentle expression, he slowly walked up to Lan Baobao. Lan Baobao also felt very guilty, after all, Brother Mu was humiliated by Ye Zixun because of her burden. She truly felt bad about it.
"Brother Mu, I..." Seeing Mu Jiangfeng approach her, Lan Baobao lowered her head, feeling embarrassed.
"Baby, it's okay." Mu Jiangfeng smiled, "I have a few things to attend to, so I have to leave now. Sorry, Baby, I can't play with you today."
After hearing Mu Jiangfeng's words, Lan Baobao felt even more guilty. Although she didn't like Mu Jiangfeng, seeing him troubled because of her made her heart ache.
"It's fine, Brother Mu. We can hang out again when you have time." Lan Baobao promised earnestly.
Upon hearing Lan Baobao's promise, Mu Jiangfeng smiled sincerely. He even forgot about Ye Zixun's malicious provocation just now, as if Lan Baobao was the only one in his life. Ye Zixun scoffed at Lan Baobao's words. In the future? What a joke. He was not the kind of person who would allow his woman to go out with other men; he truly treated Cloud Emperor as just a decoration.
Mu Jiangfeng waved goodbye to Lan Baobao and drove off in his Lamborghini. After Mu Jiangfeng left, the heavy weight in Ye Zixun's heart finally lifted. This Mu Jiangfeng was indeed a formidable opponent; Ye Zixun placed him among his most dangerous enemies.
"Hmph, Xiaoran, let's go." Lan Baobao assertively pulled Li Xiaoran away, completely disregarding Ye Zixun.
"Um, Baby... why don't you go to the Ye Family Mansion with Young Master Ye? Couples shouldn't hold grudges overnight," Li Xiaoran suggested nervously upon seeing Ye Zixun's dark expression. She was just an ordinary citizen and couldn't afford to provoke someone as powerful as Ye Zixun.
Lan Baobao shot Li Xiaoran a fierce glare; she really couldn't stand people who bullied the weak and feared the strong. How could she even think of sending her best friend into the wolf's den? Lan Baobao felt she had been careless in choosing her friends.
Ye Zixun merely looked coldly at Lan Baobao without saying anything further. However, the anger in his eyes made Lan Baobao's heart race. She couldn't grasp what Ye Zixun was thinking at all.
"Xun, since Baby wants to go to Li Xiaoran's house, just agree. They probably have some secrets to share," Gu Feng unexpectedly spoke up for Lan Baobao.
As soon as Gu Feng spoke up, Lan Baobao felt that she could definitely avoid returning to the Ye Family Mansion today. She cast a grateful glance at Gu Feng, who accepted it with a smile but felt bitter inside. He knew how painful it was to help his brother pursue the woman he had always loved. However, he had no choice; one must not disrespect a brother's wife—this principle Gu Feng understood well.
Ye Zixun looked at Gu Feng in surprise, not understanding why he suddenly spoke up for Lan Baobao. This was completely out of character for Gu Feng; although he was curious, he didn't show it.
"Fine then, but you must return home," Ye Zixun coldly stated his final bottom line.
Lan Baobao pouted and chose to ignore Ye Zixun's words. After hearing that she wouldn't have to return to the Ye Family Mansion, she quickly pulled Li Xiaoran away without any hesitation.
Watching Lan Baobao walk away, Ye Zixun finally turned to Gu Feng and asked,
"Why did you suddenly speak up for her? Feng, this isn't your usual style." Ye Zixun said with an unfriendly tone, clearly indicating that he wouldn't let it go until he got an explanation.
Gu Feng let out a soft sigh, leaning against the car and quietly gazing into the distance. It was the first time Ye Zixun had seen Gu Feng like this after knowing him for so many years. However, Ye Zixun couldn't help but know that Gu Feng was feeling this way for a reason.
"I just don't want to see my savior sad," Gu Feng stated quietly, a touch of poignant sorrow in his eyes.
Ye Zixun fell silent, unsure of what to say.
Gu Feng looked at Ye Zixun and smiled, then playfully punched him.
"What did you do to upset my savior? Why is she so unwilling to return to Ye Family Mansion?" Gu Feng asked with a grin, unceremoniously rubbing salt into Ye Zixun's wounds.
"I don't know; it started like this since yesterday. The key point is, I have no idea what I did to make her angry," Ye Zixun replied, feeling increasingly frustrated. It was clearly Lan Baobao being unreasonable; he was completely innocent.
After hearing Ye Zixun's words, Gu Feng couldn't help but furrow his brows. Ye Zixun had always been careless, especially when it came to matters of the heart. It seemed that he must have inadvertently upset Lan Baobao. Otherwise, with Lan Baobao's good-natured personality, how could she behave like this?
"Think carefully about whether something really happened that you just happened to forget," Gu Feng said after pondering for a moment, speaking calmly.
After listening to Gu Feng, Ye Zixun began to reflect repeatedly on his recent actions. However, aside from having dinner with Pan Xinzi and Yan Momo, nothing else had happened. Besides, Lan Baobao knew about that too.
"Nothing really happened," Ye Zixun finally concluded after much thought, confirming that he hadn't upset Lan Baobao. Yet, the fact that Lan Baobao was still angry remained undeniable.
