CHAPTER 91: CHAPTER 90: SO YOU REALLY HAVE SOMEONE ELSE OUTSIDE

Before Xie Fengmian passionately confessed his feelings, he already anticipated that Ye Manman would definitely help Cheng Yuan to refute him, so he had already come up with a countermeasure.

Faced with Ye Manman’s sarcasm, he remained unfazed.

"Since I, Xie Fengmian, have taken responsibility, I will see it through. You don’t need to keep emphasizing that I’m married. I will handle this matter properly."

He continued to gaze lovingly at Cheng Yuan, as if promising her a future.

"Nowadays, getting married doesn’t mean never getting divorced. The paperwork is fast. Once she gives birth, I’ll divorce her and also provide child support. Since I’ve taken on this responsibility, I will see it through to the end."

"Don’t worry, Yuanyuan, once I’ve completed the formalities, I will make sure to marry you into our family with great fanfare. Aren’t we the most compatible couple?"

He stared at Cheng Yuan, trying to get her to say something affirmative.

"You have feelings for me too, don’t you?"

"Otherwise, why would you keep rejecting me but not go to the police to report me? Is it Ye Manman who told you to do that?"

"Aren’t you worried that our relationship might really be torn apart by her?"

Every word was pressuring Cheng Yuan to admit it, even trying to sow discord between her and Ye Manman.

But Cheng Yuan never had any thoughts about him, listening to his plans for the future only made her more troubled.

It’s like you just glanced at a roadside stall, and the vendor assumes you definitely want to buy something, constantly asking you if you are interested.

Cheng Yuan didn’t know what harsh words to say to make Xie Fengmian stop being so aggressive, she was almost in tears.

"Mr. Xie, I really don’t have feelings for you, and I never considered marrying you or anything like that, please stop saying these things."

Ye Manman also found Xie Fengmian’s coercion very unpleasant, but to truly drive him away, Cheng Yuan needed to be resolute herself.

She was only there today; even if she helped to drive Xie Fengmian away now, what about next time? Or the time after that?

So all Ye Manman could do was to give her some encouragement with her eyes, Cheng Yuan subconsciously looked at Ye Manman and suddenly recalled the plan they discussed earlier.

Clenching her jaw, she walked directly towards the door.

"Mr. Xie, if you keep harassing me like this, I’ll go to the police and report you for harassment right now!"

Cheng Yuan understood what Ye Manman meant, and she truly didn’t want to be bothered by Xie Fengmian any longer. Thinking that with both Ye Manman and her husband, whom Xie Fengmian feared greatly, present, she could go to the police, and Xie Fengmian wouldn’t dare do anything to her.

Indeed, this method proved highly effective.

However, shameless as ever, Xie Fengmian chased her to the front door, blocking Cheng Yuan and pleading desperately.

"Yuanyuan, I don’t mean to harass you; I genuinely want to treat you well. Please, don’t report me to the police."

He wanted to grab Cheng Yuan’s hand to stop her, but both Ye Manman and He Chen followed them out, with He Chen clearly listening to Ye Manman. A single word from Ye Manman could have He Chen pick him up and toss him aside, so Xie Fengmian refrained from reaching out to her.

He then repeated the words he said inside the shop, just with different phrasing, declaring his heartfelt sentiments loudly at the store entrance, attracting a large crowd of onlookers and blocking the way, while forcing Cheng Yuan to give him a response.

This strategy was truly disgustingly appalling, Ye Manman almost couldn’t resist the urge to have He Chen go up and beat Xie Fengmian a few times.

But that wouldn’t change anything, it would only get He Chen in trouble, and once Xie Fengmian recovered, he’d harass Cheng Yuan even more relentlessly.

While she was contemplating whether to directly call the police over, suddenly a woman rushed out from the crowd.

"Xie Fengmian! So you really have someone outside!"

"Who exactly is this vixen?! You need to explain this clearly today!"

"I stay at home every day cooking, doing laundry, and bearing children for you, and this is how you repay me?!"

Ye Xiaotong had been trailing Xie Fengmian for half a day, seeing him picking flowers and doing his hair in the morning, she was almost certain he had someone outside.

Until he just entered the shop and she was crouching outside, overhearing Xie Fengmian declare his feelings to a beautiful woman for quite a while, Ye Xiaotong couldn’t hold it any longer.

As she rushed out, the onlooking crowd was abuzz. Initially, everyone thought it was an act of romantic pursuit, but it turned into a scandalous scene of catching a lover in the act, drawing even more onlookers in.

Ye Xiaotong didn’t care how many people were watching, her entire body was trembling with anger, her teeth clenched loudly, pointing at Xie Fengmian with every emotional word.

"How on earth have I wronged you to deserve this? Was loving me a mistake worthy of responsibility, while toward someone else it’s true affection and love? Were the sweet words you said to me all lies, only to eat them back and say them again to someone else?"

"I’ve gone out of my way to please you, accommodating your every whim, enduring your beatings and insults, all for the sake of our child’s future, to have a complete family! Yet you want to divorce me after the child is born for this vixen? Do you even have a conscience?"

Ye Xiaotong cried as she spoke, pulling on her thin clothes and rolling up her sleeves to show everyone.

"Look, this is the man who just now claimed he was responsible, who said he’d treat his wife with care and gentleness, who did this!"

She wasn’t fair-skinned, her complexion was sallow and had dried with white flakes due to the cold weather, but the large bruises on her arms were still shocking.

Instantly, everybody looked at Xie Fengmian with eyes full of condemnation and disgust, even those who somewhat understood him for marrying because he made a drunken mistake and had to bear the responsibility, forfeiting the chance for true love, also began to despise him.

After all, Xie Fengmian had just been talking about being responsible, and now his wife exposed that he hits her.

It’s as if he hasn’t spoken a single truthful word, highly likely that everything is a lie.

Some warm-hearted older women started to beckon the startled Cheng Yuan over.

"Oh, young lady, you don’t seem to have known about this either, stay out of it. A man who hits his wife today can hit you tomorrow. You can’t believe a word he says."

Several other warm-hearted older women also came to persuade, chatting noisily.

Cheng Yuan felt especially warm-hearted after hearing from these women, and their words also gave her the confidence and courage to drive away Xie Fengmian for good.

But just as she was gathering the courage to go to the police station to report Xie Fengmian, Ye Xiaotong suddenly charged at her with a ferocious face.

"It’s all because of you, you vixen! I’ll beat you to death! Watch me scratch your face up for seducing my husband!"

Her motion was swift and startled the older women around her.

Cheng Yuan, who had never encountered such a scene before, was so frightened that she fell straight to the ground.

At that moment, Xie Fengmian, either realizing suddenly or still trying to improve his impression in front of Cheng Yuan, rushed over and tightly restrained Ye Xiaotong.

"Ye Xiaotong! Can you stop making a scene here! Enough already! If you need to cause a scene, let’s talk about it at home!"

Their argument heated the atmosphere even more.

Ye Manman saw that Xie Fengmian had restrained Ye Xiaotong, so she let go of He Chen’s arm she was about to pull to help.

She was really worried these two maniacs would truly hurt Cheng Yuan, and she immediately planned to call He Chen to go to the police together.

"He"

But just as she raised her head to speak, He Chen suddenly fixed his gaze in a certain direction with a sharp look.

Suddenly Ye Manman felt a gust of wind sweep past her, and He Chen’s figure shot forward like a leopard, directly rushing toward the outer edge of the crowd.
