Ye Zi gave Shen Ming a glance and remained silent.
For the first time, she felt he was being so hypocritical.
It was clearly he who told his father about the incident, and now he’s still pretending to be the good guy here.
And this matter, in the first place, had nothing to do with her.
At most, she just barged into his office and saw him doing that kind of thing with another woman...
He’s so wicked, and he still has the gall to justify himself?
Father Ye looked at Ye Zi with a bit of disappointment, as if frustrated at her failure to meet his expectations: "Look how good your brother Ming is to you; you made such a big mistake, and not only does he not blame you, he’s even defending you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zi laughed heartlessly: "If he really wanted to protect me, would he tattle to you guys in front of me?"
"Still talking back, aren’t you!" Father Ye roared angrily, "Apologize to Xiao Ming right now!"
"Sure!" Ye Zi was not angry at all. She stood up with a smile and bowed to apologize to Shen Ming: "I’m sorry."
Her demeanor was so proper that it didn’t leave the Shen Family with any excuses to continue blaming her.
In front of Father Ye and Ye Mu, Shen Ming wasn’t as indifferent to Ye Zi as he usually was.
"Don’t say sorry; you are my, Shen Ming’s, fiancée. Even if you cause a huge disaster, I will not blame you." He walked up to Ye Zi, reaching out and affectionately ruffled her hair, "You understand?"
Ye Zi looked at him with a smile, but it was somewhat stiff...
"Right, we are all family, there’s no need to make a fuss over such things." Shen Hua also came over and said to Uncle Ye: "Uncle Ye, don’t be angry. It’s rare for you to come to Jiang City, come on, let me take you all for a tour."
With the pleading from Shen siblings, Father Ye’s anger subsided by half, and he stopped scolding Ye Zi.
Ye Mu whispered in Ye Zi’s ear: "Hurry up, admit your mistake to your dad."
Ye Zi gave an obedient hum and looked at Father Ye: "Dad, I was wrong."
This apology, no matter how you look at it, seems insincere.
Father Ye did not say anything further and turned to follow Shen Hua out.
Ye Mu gave Ye Zi a meaningful look, signaling her to stay alone with Shen Ming for a while, and then followed along.
In the huge hall, only Shen Ming and Ye Zi were left.
With no one else around, Shen Ming reverted to his true self. He sat down and looked at Ye Zi with cold eyes, "Our wedding was originally set for next year, but now it has been decided to move it up; we’ll have the wedding next month."
Ye Zi looked at him and responded with a faint "Oh!" without saying anything else.
Shen Ming asked her, "You have no objections?"
Ye Zi replied: "None!"
Seeing her seemingly indifferent to the matter, Shen Ming’s gaze turned colder, and his voice more severe: "No objections? After we’re married, do you also not plan to care whether or not I have affairs with other women?"
Ye Zi said, "Yep! It doesn’t bother me!"
Shen Ming became angry: "Ye Zi! Marriage is not child’s play. Is this how you treat it?"
Hearing his words, Ye Zi suddenly laughed, "I never said it was child’s play! Besides, how do you expect me to treat it?"
Shen Ming’s eyes reddened with fury as he stared intently at Ye Zi, scoffing coldly: "Heh, seeing your own man with another woman, and you act completely unaffected? Ye Zi, I really don’t know if you’re just putting on an act!"
"If you think you can deter me this way, you’re mistaken. The more you show disinterest in me, the more I want to conquer you, the more I want to keep you by my side!"
