Ji Shaoli furrowed his brows deeply, " Ye Qingqing , you can define our relationship however you want. But this is between us, don't involve innocent people!"
"Come over here, I want you to come right now. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what information might come to light tomorrow. Ha..." Ye Qingqing's voice was charming and slightly tipsy, likely having had quite a bit to drink. "You know I'm a big star; everything about me is magnified."
"What did you take?" Ji Shaoli was worried it might be something detrimental to Mist Shenshen.
"Want to know? Then come beg me!"
With that, Ye Qingqing hung up the phone abruptly.
Ji Shaoli's face darkened as he threw his phone aside with a snap and pressed down on the accelerator. He knew she was deliberately provoking him, but he couldn't ignore it.
If given a choice, he wouldn't marry a woman like Ye Qingqing.
Everyone said she was marrying beneath her; the big star Ye Qingqing was suffering while he, Ji Shaoli, was the one who got lucky.
In reality, after three years of marriage to Ye Qingqing, it was Ji Shaoli who felt tormented.
He rarely came to places like bars. He disliked the deafening music and the chaotic crowds letting loose.
Ji Shaoli preferred quiet, but Ye Qingqing was someone who couldn't sit still.
Upon entering, he saw the dance floor filled with heat; someone was performing on stage, dancing on a pole, eliciting whistles that came in waves. Ji Shaoli merely glanced indifferently and walked toward the spot where Ye Qingqing liked to sit.
Coming from a wealthy family, Ye Qingqing had a designated booth in this bar, right in the center, perfectly fitting her high-society persona. Sure enough, he spotted some of Ye Qingqing's friends there.
But Ye Qingqing was nowhere to be found.
"Where is she?"
Ji Shaoli frowned. Did she call him here just to trick him into coming for nothing?
"He's on stage, are you blind?"
"No wonder you became an ex-husband; you can't even recognize her!"
Ye Qingqing's friends took the opportunity to humiliate Ji Shaoli, all of them feeling indignant for Ye Qingqing.
Ji Shaoli didn't bother with these people. He raised his eyes to the stage, where the woman swaying like a fairy was actually Ye Qingqing. Ji Shaoli wasn't surprised. A hint of sarcasm appeared on his face.
Under the brilliant lights, Ye Qingqing performed various seductive moves with her male partner. The screams from the audience surged like a tidal wave, threatening to lift the roof off.
But Ye Qingqing only saw Ji Shaoli.
Among thousands of people, he was the only one she could see.
He stood at her reserved booth and then turned around, heading towards the exit of the bar!
Suddenly, Ye Qingqing found her male partner utterly boring. She pushed away the sleazy man trying to take advantage of her and gracefully jumped off the stage, weaving through the crowd.
At the bar entrance.
"Stop right there!"
A woman's domineering voice rang out.
Ji Shaoli acted as if he hadn't heard anything and continued walking forward with his long legs crossed.
"Go ahead! Just wait for tomorrow's newspaper! I'm going to expose your affair with Mist Shenshen to the media!"
These words were like a lethal weapon.
Ji Shaoli stopped in his tracks, turned around, and walked towards Ye Qingqing.
Ye Qingqing raised her chin proudly, suppressing the pain in her heart. After three years of marriage, he had always only had Mist Shenshen in his heart! She had actually fallen to the point of having to rely on threats to keep him!
"Ye Qingqing, just admit it. The failure of our marriage has nothing to do with anyone else." Ji Shaoli looked down at her from above, his gaze filled with disdain. "Losers never reflect on their own reasons."
Ye Qingqing's face turned pale. "What did I do wrong? Isn't it true that you've always had someone else in your heart?"
Ji Shaoli did not answer her question. "Don't use your star power to attack an innocent person. You can certainly try and see what the consequences are."
"You’re threatening me? What consequences? I’m curious about what kind of consequences you will give me!"
Ji Shaoli's expression darkened to the extreme. "Ye Qingqing, do you still think you're the young lady of the Ye Family?"
"What do you mean?" Ye Qingqing didn't understand.
She spent her days either filming or having fun, relying on her looks to thrive in the entertainment industry, and with the background of being a Ye Family heiress, directors loved to give her resources.
Seeing Ji Shaoli preparing to leave, Ye Qingqing immediately rushed over and tightly hugged him, disregarding everything as she tried to kiss him.
In the distance, Huo Jincheng and Xu Yizhi walked out and happened to witness this passionate scene.
"Impressive. I've seen many men force women in bars, but I didn't expect to see a woman forcing a man today."
Huo Jincheng was indifferent to these matters, glancing over without much thought, and unexpectedly found the male lead somewhat familiar.
"You've gone mad!" Ji Shaoli exclaimed as he pushed Ye Qingqing away. The smell of alcohol, strong perfume, and a mix of cigarette smoke from her and some man's cologne was nauseating.
Ye Qingqing staggered back, almost falling to the ground, but someone caught her from behind.
A strong shoulder held her securely.
"I say, you should be gentler with women; they might have mustered a lot of courage just to kiss," Xu Yizhi said as he supported Ye Qingqing, unable to resist adding his opinion.
Ji Shaoli glanced at the two of them, his gaze stopping on Huo Jincheng. "It's you."
Huo Jincheng nodded slightly.
Seeing that the person who spoke up was with Huo Jincheng, Ji Shaoli guessed he was a friend of Huo Jincheng.
It was a good opportunity to clarify some things now.
Ji Shaoli politely began, "The day before yesterday, I helped Jian Yunong, whose mobile wallet was stolen in Neighboring City, get back to the hotel. I was asked to help. The gossip in the tabloids is nonsense; I've already handled this matter and hope it hasn't caused any trouble for you or Jian Yunong. This is my ex-wife, Miss Ye."
Huo Jincheng glanced at Ye Qingqing and thought to himself that what made her a big star? With heavy makeup and flashy attire, she was no different from those women in bars.
Huo Jincheng turned to Ji Shaoli. "I hope you can handle your own affairs well and not let innocent people get dragged into it. Although Jian Yunong and I haven't been affected much, my wife Nong Nong is timid, and I have a bad temper; I can't stand seeing her wronged."
Ji Shaoli looked at Ye Qingqing; she leaned against Xu Yizhi's embrace and seemed to think there was nothing wrong with the situation. Well, she had always been like this before the divorce; what more could be said now that they were divorced?
"Ye Qingqing You do your star thing, and your PR team can sell your elegant young lady image, that's fine. But don't sacrifice innocent people to boost your popularity."
That was all she had to say.
"If there's a next time, it won't be me talking to you, it will be my lawyer."
Ji Shaoli nodded slightly at Huo Jincheng and turned to leave with big strides.
Huo Jincheng was also about to go when Ye Qingqing called out to him.
"Are you Mist Shenshen's niece's husband?"
Huo Jincheng raised an eyebrow, "What's the problem?"
Ye Qingqing slowly curled her lips into a smile, "Is your married life harmonious?"
"Crazy." Who asks such private questions?
Ye Qingqing's red lips stretched; she wasn't angry even after being insulted. "Sick? The sick person isn't me. Mist Shenshen's niece really has issues. You actually married a woman with problems and didn't even know! You two aren't in a marriage of convenience, are you?"
Huo Jincheng frowned, finally understanding why Ji Shaoli had just been so uncharacteristically rude to shake off this woman. She was asking for trouble!
"You will pay for every word you say."
"Are you angry?" Ye Qingqing crossed her arms and walked in her high heels right in front of Huo Jincheng. "You know best whether Jian Yunong has issues. I thought she would develop into a lesbian due to her fear of men, but in the end, she married one."
No matter how composed Huo Jincheng was, Ye Qingqing's sharp tongue provoked his Rage. "I think the one with issues is you."
Ye Qingqing widened her innocent eyes and said, "You don't know? Jian Yunong used to see a psychologist abroad! One of her ex-boyfriends wouldn't let anyone touch her. If someone did, he would threaten them with a knife. She was even advised to see a psychologist! She probably doesn't have the face to tell you about such embarrassing things."
Huo Jincheng's heart jolted. In the past, Jian Yunong had always been very resistant to physical contact with him!
But no matter what turmoil Huo Jincheng felt inside, he wouldn't easily let an outsider like Ye Qingqing see through him.
Huo Jincheng coldly curled his lips and said in a frosty tone, "My wife and I have a wonderful life together. There's no need for outsiders to meddle."
Ye Qingqing wanted to say something more, but Xu Yizhi pulled her aside. "Alright, Huo Jincheng, you should head back now. Your wife is still waiting for you."
Once Huo Jincheng left, Xu Yizhi released Ye Qingqing.
"Why doesn't he believe what I said? He just needs to investigate a little, and he would know I'm not lying!" Ye Qingqing was still indignant.
Xu Yizhi had never seen someone so oblivious to social cues.
She didn't even know them and wanted to interfere in someone else's marriage.
Were they close?
A normal person would definitely trust their partner and wouldn't believe a stranger met in a bar!
Xu Yizhi was also somewhat displeased. "My friend has a great relationship with his newlywed wife. For her sake, he goes home on time every day."
Ye Qingqing couldn't understand Xu Yizhi's expression. As a young lady, she was used to others catering to her feelings. Now, she was only focused on expressing her own emotions. "Just because she's like this now doesn't mean she was always like this. I investigated Mist Shenshen's matters before, which is how I learned about Jian Yunong's situation. People change, after all."
Ji Shaoli changed too, didn't he?
Ye Qingqing came to her senses and realized that Xu Yizhi had already disappeared.
These men... none of them are good!
...
Jian Yunong was already in a deep sleep when she vaguely felt someone watching her. She opened her eyes and saw a shadow standing by the bed.
"Who?"
Jian Yunong screamed in fright, instantly waking up from her dream.
The room's lights turned on, filling the entire space with bright light.
"It's me."
Huo Jincheng's cold and deep voice echoed.
"You scared me to death..." Jian Yunong said with a trembling voice, "What are you doing standing by my bed in the middle of the night?"
Jian Yunong patted her chest, "You scared me so much that I lost my drowsiness."
Huo Jincheng knelt on one knee by the bed, and the blanket covering Jian Yunong was suddenly pulled away.
"I couldn't sleep, so I thought I would do something else."
