Chapter 571: Chapter 574: She is Desperate
She didn’t want to lose her status as the Young Madam of the Ye Family. When she was with Ye Xinglan, she always pretended to be all the things he loved: gentle, lovely, innocent, and generous.
But constantly wearing a mask, pretending to be someone else, was tiresome and annoying.
So, she accepted Mue Ting.
After being reprimanded by Ye Xinglan, she would return to her room and enjoy the gentle and considerate service of Mue Ting. This made her feel that life was still wonderful.
She desired both the position of Young Madam of the Ye Family and the submissive servitude of Mue Ting.
She always thought that as long as she hid it well, these two things could coexist.
She was very careful. Every intimate moment with Mue Ting took place in her bedroom. Even in other parts of the house, she and Mue Ting never showed any signs of abnormality.
She even planned how to accommodate Mue Ting after her wedding with Ye Xinglan.
Once she married him and entered the Ye Family, she would leave Mue Ting at her maiden home.
The Shi family was very close to the Ye Family, only a few minutes away. When she missed him, she could return to her maiden home for a secret rendezvous with Mue Ting.
She felt that such a life would be beautiful.
Being able to enjoy both the glory of being the Young Madam of the Ye Family and having a devoted male pet to cater to her every whim, made her life feel satisfying.
Such a life was wanton enough for her, and she felt it was worth her coming into this world.
When her relationship with Mue Ting was exposed by Ye Xinglan, she returned home but didn’t reveal the truth to the hopeful Shi Maotong.
She vaguely said that Ye Xinglan was still angry and needed time to consider before replying to her.
Shi Maotong left with disappointment.
She thought hard, hoping to come up with a perfect plan to cover up her relationship with Mue Ting and regain Ye Xinglan’s trust.
She even contemplated orchestrating Mue Ting’s “accidental” death, leaving no evidence behind.
But she thought Ye Xinglan, given his cleverness, would never believe it.
This plan wouldn’t work.
Just as she was wracking her brain for a way to deceive Ye Xinglan, Ye Xingli barged in and exposed her affair with Mue Ting in front of everyone.
She knew Ye Xinglan well.
Being cuckolded by a girlfriend was not something to be proud of. The fewer people who knew about it, the better.
If she didn’t reveal it, Ye Xinglan certainly wouldn’t reveal it, either.
As long as no one else knew, there might still be a chance to salvage the situation.
However, that idiot Ye Xingli, in front of so many people, blurted it out without hesitation.
Why didn’t he care about Ye Xinglan’s face?
At this moment, Shi Qianling’s thoughts were in agreement with Gu Junzhu: in a world of imbeciles, normal people couldn’t comprehend.
Shouldn’t he have done everything to cover up such shameful matters for his brother? How could he just casually expose them in public?
Looking at the beautiful face of Mue Ting, teary-eyed and begging, she was reluctant.
A life where she could be both the Young Madam of the Ye Family and also have a handsome man like Mue Ting obsequiously serving her would be the perfect life.
However, it seemed now that these two things were something she could no longer have both.
She pushed Mue Ting away, tilted her face and looked at Ye Xingli. Crying inconsolably, she said, “Xiao Li, what do I need to do to make you believe me? There’s nothing between Mue Ting and me. It’s all just a misunderstanding! Brother Lan is so perfect. He has filled my heart and left no room for anyone else.”
