CHAPTER 297: CHAPTER 297

"What kind of mentally challenged youth?" Ye Chen glanced at Jiang Moxi, then turned his gaze to Yu Dingding.

Yu Dingding’s face was still brimming with a smile.

That smile seemed far more brilliant and genuine than the days she had spent with him.

So much so that for a moment, Ye Chen felt envious of the mentally challenged youth they were discussing, for being able to bring such joy to Yu Dingding...

But Yu Dingding evidently didn’t want him to join in on this topic, and quickly restrained her smile, saying, "This has nothing to do with you."

The smile on Ye Chen’s face became somewhat difficult to maintain.

Seeing this, Jiang Moxi hurriedly asked, "Are all the hot dishes served? Can we eat now?"

With Jiang Moxi’s interruption, Ye Chen could only temporarily rein in his emotions, "They’re pretty much all served, we can start eating."

The four of them took their seats and began to eat and chat.

Jiang Moxi and Yu Dingding chatted quite a bit, so Fu Youhan served food to Jiang Moxi.

When the kitchen served the crab dish that Jiang Moxi liked, Fu Youhan peeled crab legs for her.

Jiang Moxi seemed to have already gotten accustomed to Fu Youhan’s attentive service, only giving him a faint smile with bright, twinkling eyes when he placed the peeled crab legs into her bowl.

"Eat slowly, if it’s not enough you can ask the kitchen to make more," Fu Youhan said, looking at the girl’s clear, autumn-water-like eyes, his lips involuntarily curling into a smile.

Watching their interaction, Ye Chen couldn’t help but tease, "You two look like newlyweds the way you are now."

Fu Youhan and Jiang Moxi couldn’t help but look at each other, and Jiang Moxi, seeing the smile in Fu Youhan’s eyes, couldn’t help but feel her ears burning, and simply buried her head in her meal.

Seeing her reaction, Fu Youhan instructed Sister Wu to prepare some crispy cookies as a dessert for Jiang Moxi after her meal.

Ye Chen felt ridiculed by the way the two of them looked at each other, as if their eyes could spin silk, feeling like he was making fun of loneliness.

After dinner, Ye Chen suggested going to Night Color to continue having fun, since Yu Dingding wouldn’t let him touch her anyhow if they went back.

Jiang Moxi actually had no objections, since going to Night Color meant she could continue to have fun with Yu Dingding and meet Kou Fei.

But Fu Youhan declined, "No, Xixi is tired from catching a flight today; she needs to rest early."

"Fine, Xiao Moxi is your treasure, and I’m just a blade of grass."

Amidst various feelings of envy and jealousy, Ye Chen watched Fu Youhan and Jiang Moxi drive away.

Later on, he still took Yu Dingding back to their villa.

After Yu Dingding had taken a bath, she sat in front of the computer to draw.

Ye Chen couldn’t help but lean over to look at what Yu Dingding was drawing, "Is this a piece of clothing? It’s pretty good-looking!"

As he spoke, Ye Chen also couldn’t help but take a few glances at Yu Dingding, who was seated in front of the computer.

Yu Dingding, who had just finished bathing, was only wearing a silk nightgown, with an open back.

Her long hair was pulled up by Yu Dingding with a hairpin, revealing a beautiful neck and smooth, fair back...

Really, just by wearing that, Ye Chen found it very difficult to concentrate and have a proper conversation with her.

But he couldn’t blame Yu Dingding for not giving herself to him or for seducing him, because he hadn’t prepared more conservative clothes for her to enjoy in this villa.

Yu Dingding didn’t expect Ye Chen to come over to look at her design drafts and quickly closed the fashion design software before turning to glance at Ye Chen.

"I was just doodling."

But it seemed Ye Chen took an interest in it, squatting in front of her and grabbing her hand, "Baby, if you like designing clothes, how about I open a studio for you?"

Yu Dingding quickly withdrew her hand: "Which noble lady or rich girl would wear clothes designed by a woman of loose morals?"

Ye Chen’s gentle smile froze in an instant, and he deeply regretted bringing Yu Dingding into Night Color.

But these were established facts, and even with his wealth and power, Ye Chen couldn’t change any of it.

He could only lower his voice, changing his tone to a more pleasing one: "Baby, you and I both know that you’re not dirty, with only me as your man. Can you not talk about yourself in such an embarrassing way?"

However, Ye Chen didn’t realize that his words didn’t bring any warmth to Yu Dingding, but instead made her feel as if she was in an icy cave...

Images of her being tortured by four men that day flashed through her mind, bringing pain and helplessness.

"How do you know that you’re the only man I’ve had?" Her voice grew hoarse, and her eyes reddened a bit.

"I am your first man, baby."

Ye Chen felt that Yu Dingding’s eyes were dark and her overall demeanor was cold and distant, strangely alluring.

Especially on this topic...

Ye Chen couldn’t help himself but to scoop her up horizontally and place her on the bed, intending to finish what had been left undone earlier.

But as his eager kisses fell, Yu Dingding turned her face away, looking towards the warm-colored standing lamp in the room, and let out a sardonic laugh.

"You were indeed my first man, but you are not my only one."

Those words froze Ye Chen to the core.

"Baby, what do you mean? You have other men?"

The blood that was near boiling seemed to cool rapidly at that moment.

"Yes, and not just one." Yu Dingding continued to stare at the warm-colored lamp, her gaze becoming vacant.

Yet in Ye Chen’s eyes, she looked indifferent.

Furious, Ye Chen simply turned Yu Dingding’s face to face him directly.

"Who are they! Damn it, who exactly are they!"

The thought of others having tasted Yu Dingding’s sweetness made Ye Chen feel like he could kill them.

Yet, seeing Ye Chen’s outraged and fierce expression, Yu Dingding found it almost funny: "I don’t know them, how would I know who they are?"

"You don’t know them, yet you still with them..."

Ye Chen started to rage but then doubted the possibility of it.

Before, to be with Yu Dingding, he had pestered her persistently for such a long time, only getting her when she was off guard.

Moreover, Yu Dingding and her ex had been together for so long, and she had been at Night Color for quite a stretch too.

If Yu Dingding was such an easy flower to pick, it wouldn’t have been his turn, Ye Chen, to be the first to taste her.

The more he thought about it, the more Ye Chen felt Yu Dingding was playing a joke on him.

He moved closer to Yu Dingding, longing evident in his eyes: "Baby, I know I didn’t handle Qin Shuang’s appearance well last time, which has been bothering you till now, but you really can’t joke about this, I don’t like it one bit."

Yet mentioning Qin Shuang in such an affectionate tone energized Yu Dingding with an unknown strength, and she forcefully pushed Ye Chen, who was on top of her.

Caught off guard, Ye Chen was pushed down off the bed, looking at Yu Dingding in astonishment.

"This is no joke, this is the truth. So, if you find me dirty, then don’t come near me."

Yu Dingding straightened her disheveled clothes, not giving Ye Chen another glance, and then she got up and left.

Ye Chen watched Yu Dingding’s receding figure, his eyes filled with gloom and annoyance...
