28: Chapter 0028: Switch to a Fashionable Style 28: Chapter 0028: Switch to a Fashionable Style In the Tingxiang Shuixie Villa, before Qiu Ruoxi could say anything more, Ye Xunhuan had already hung up the phone!
Listening to the “beep beep” sound coming from the receiver, Qiu Ruoxi’s exquisitely flawless face suddenly darkened as if it were the ominous sign of an impending storm.
This bastard actually dared to hang up on me; just wait until you come back and see how I’ll deal with you!
But then Qiu Ruoxi remembered the hot and spicy soup Ye Xunhuan had mentioned.
Isn’t hot and spicy soup just a dish?
Why did this bastard want me to look it up on Baidu?
Could it be that hot and spicy soup has some other meaning?
Driven by curiosity, Qiu Ruoxi went into the study, turned on the computer, and directly began searching for hot and spicy soup online.
However, the first page didn’t reveal anything unusual; it all looked very ordinary.
But when Qiu Ruoxi turned to the second page, her nerves suddenly tensed, and her enchanting eyes were glued to the computer screen.
The entire second page was full of information on how the term “hot and spicy soup” was being circulated online, including phrases like “six yuan hot and spicy soup” and “what does it mean when a boy and a girl eat hot and spicy soup together”!
Immediately afterward, Qiu Ruoxi clicked on a link, and upon seeing the text displayed, flames nearly shot from her eyes!
At that moment, she finally understood what Ye Xunhuan meant by “hot and spicy soup”; it was actually a slang term for a man wanting to sleep with a woman.
“Shameless, debased…”
In an instant, Qiu Ruoxi’s white teeth were clenched so tightly they made a clicking sound.
She knew this scoundrel couldn’t say anything decent, and yet she had naively gone online to look it up!
Qiu Ruoxi was beginning to regret letting Ye Xunhuan go to the Huangtu Group.
He had just started at the company and was already getting involved with someone like Tang Yurou.
If this went on for longer, who knows what havoc he would wreak on all the women in her company.
Wouldn’t she be forced to watch him cheat?
She had to stop this scoundrel; she couldn’t let him continue doing whatever he wanted!
At this moment, Qiu Ruoxi was unaware that Ye Xunhuan and Qin Muge shared a brief romantic encounter; if she knew, who knows if she would go crazy.
Shortly afterward, Qiu Ruoxi went downstairs and told Wang Ma that if Ye Xunhuan returned before twelve o’clock, have him come up to the study because she needed to speak with him!
Hearing this news, Wang Ma’s face was filled with excitement.
Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi had been married for a while, yet their relationship had always been at a stalemate, particularly when Qiu Ruoxi dealt with Ye Xunhuan, as if facing her nemesis.
And Ye Xunhuan’s attitude towards Qiu Ruoxi was one of complete indifference, always wearing a smile.
Wang Ma was worried inside, despite being calm outwardly.
In her view, it was rare to find a man like Ye Xunhuan who had no pretenses and didn’t get angry at Qiu Ruoxi’s disdain and hostility.
Furthermore, since their marriage, Qiu Ruoxi hadn’t once fulfilled her duties as a wife; they hadn’t even shared a bed, yet Ye Xunhuan didn’t pressure her.
According to Ye Xunhuan’s words, “A melon forced off its vine is not sweet.”
Ye Xunhuan’s attitude was what made Wang Ma’s regard for him increase even more.
Had any other man married Qiu Ruoxi, even if she was unwilling and resistant, they probably would have consummated the marriage already.
But not Ye Xunhuan; he had never pressured Qiu Ruoxi.
Such an approachable, amiable man who respected women and never forced them to do things they didn’t like – where could you possibly find a son-in-law like that!
Wang Ma considered Ye Xunhuan to be a paragon of male virtue, the kind of man you couldn’t find even with a lantern in hand.
Wang exhausted all possible methods to set up Ye Xunhuan with Qiu Ruoxi, but in the end, it was all for naught.
Now, hearing that Qiu Ruoxi had something for Ye Xunhuan and was waiting for him in the study, Mrs.
Wang was genuinely overjoyed.
She believed that since Qiu Ruoxi was seeking Ye Xunhuan out, their relationship was bound to improve.
Even if they couldn’t share a room immediately, it seemed imminent rather than far off.
Wang had decided to wait for Ye Xunhuan until dawn if necessary.
But it was only about twenty minutes before Ye Xunhuan returned from outside.
As soon as Ye Xunhuan entered, Mrs.
Wang hurriedly fetched his slippers and said with a smile, “Son-in-law, Miss said to find her in the upstairs study when you return!”
Ye Xunhuan was stunned—this woman wanted him to go to her?
Could it be that the sun was really going to change its course and rise from the north from now on?
Wang, I’ll go right away,” Ye Xunhuan said softly, “It’s getting late, you should also get some rest!”
With that, Ye Xunhuan started toward the upstairs.
Wang spoke up again, “Son-in-law, hang on, I just made some porridge.
Take it up and share it with Miss!”
Without giving Ye Xunhuan a chance to speak, she headed straight for the kitchen.
Wang’s retreating figure, Ye Xunhuan could only smile wryly, knowing her good intentions of trying to foster affection between him and Qiu Ruoxi.
But how easy could it be to foster affection with Qiu Ruoxi!
This woman was so aloof, treating him as if he were a pile of excrement.
What kind of affection could he possibly cultivate with her?
However, in the face of Mrs.
Wang’s kindness, Ye Xunhuan didn’t refuse and, while carrying the porridge she had made, he headed upstairs.
The study was located in a corner of the northeast side of the second floor.
It was spacious, with six rows of bookshelves packed with a variety of books: economics, psychology, history, biographies of famous people…
a vast and broad collection.
In the study, there were also calligraphy and paintings of famous people, as well as antique porcelain!
Just by looking at the layout and decorations of the study, one could tell that the owner of the study was a person of taste and intellect!
Ye Xunhuan, who never knew the meaning of knocking, instinctively pushed open the tightly closed door of the study.
Upon hearing the door open, Qiu Ruoxi reflexively turned her head towards the entrance and immediately saw Ye Xunhuan standing there, holding a bowl of porridge.
When she saw Ye Xunhuan, Qiu Ruoxi was slightly taken aback.
Why had this bastard come back?
Wasn’t he supposed to be with Tang Yurou right now?
Seeing the somewhat stunned look on Qiu Ruoxi’s face, Ye Xunhuan hung a shallow smile on his face, “Are you so moved and warmed by the sight of your husband returning to bring you porridge that it’s unprecedented?”
Qiu Ruoxi snorted coldly, “What, weren’t you off to book a room?
Why did you come back so soon?
Did you indulge yourself to the point of physical incapability?
Do you need me to give you some money to see a doctor?”
Despite her cold and silent demeanor, the words that came from her lips could make any man feel a sense of despair about life, even to the point of contemplating death.
But to this, Ye Xunhuan had long since become accustomed and didn’t take it to heart, “Rest assured, ‘little brother’ is well taken care of and only gets stronger in battle.
It’s just that ‘little brother’s’ foreskin is a bit long, so how about you give me some money to give him a more fashionable style, change a stand-up collar to a turned-down one?
I’m sure he’d be very grateful to you!”
