She was truly beautiful; when Xu Niannian first appeared, the rough men outside nearly dropped their jaws to the floor.
Beauty was an understatement for her; how did Jin Yu come across such an incredible stroke of luck to find such a delicate and exquisite woman? Read complete version only at NoveI~Fire.net
Before Jin Yu arrived, even if Xu Niannian was seething with anger, she never let it show to outsiders, always smiling amicably and making those rough men feel her extreme gentleness.
Therefore, when Jin Yu arrived and was met with Xu Niannian shouting at him, everyone was stunned.
Xu Niannian was genuinely angry, but not at Jin Yu; she was upset about the troubling incident, yet her reason refused to kick in at that moment.
Even though she knew Jin Yu was not at fault, nothing could hold back the rage swelling in her heart.
She was disgusted, utterly disgusted by the incident, desperately needing an outlet for her frustration—she couldn’t lash out at outsiders, nor at their young kids.
So, she had no choice but to unleash her anger on Jin Yu, the root cause of her distress.
Jin Yu opened his mouth wanting to explain, but seeing Xu Niannian’s red-rimmed eyes glaring at him, he felt an unbearable pain in his heart.
"Wife, let’s go back to my quarters and talk this over slowly," he said.
The group of men outside immediately dispersed like birds and beasts, making way for them.
Xu Niannian had just lost her temper upon first seeing Jin Yu and had yelled at him, before realizing that there were others present.
Ye Shaoting observed dispassionately, playing the role of a mere backdrop, pretending to have seen nothing.
Having yelled at him in front of so many brothers, Xu Niannian felt some regret—it wasn’t really his fault to begin with.
Jin Yu hurried over to take the kids from her and handed them to Ye Shaoting: "Help me take care of the children."
"My pleasure," Ye Shaoting took the adorable kids and swiftly ran off.
Jin Yu led Xu Niannian to his quarters, his personal quarters.
"Wife, what brought you here to see me all of a sudden?" he asked cautiously, wrapping his arms around Xu Niannian from behind and resting his chin on her shoulder.
Xu Niannian’s face was tense, and it was a reason she couldn’t disclose.
Your ex-fiancée from a previous life came to declare war on me, saying you’re her man.
"Back off a bit," Xu Niannian said irritably, sick of Jin Yu’s love interests swarming around him.
But Jin Yu was chaste as jade, and she couldn’t use that against him, nor could she mention Ji Ruhua.
She would be crazy to bring up this woman in front of Jin Yu.
So, Xu Niannian, for the moment, appeared to be a woman making unreasonable scenes.
Jin Yu could sense Xu Niannian’s impatience and a sudden surge of unease rose from his heart.
"Niannian, what’s the matter?" Jin Yu turned her around to face him.
Xu Niannian didn’t look at him, her gaze lowered.
On the way there, her belly was full of anger, thinking about what she would do to Jin Yu.
But once she was actually with him, she couldn’t bear to offload her unwarranted anger onto him, leaving her to vent in a trivial manner which only compounded her frustration.
Xu Niannian wasn’t afraid of Ji Ruhua coming to steal Jin Yu away; as she always said, a man who could be stolen wasn’t worthy of her love.
What bothered her was the possibility that Jin Yu was as nice to Ji Ruhua as he was to her, including matters between husband and wife.
The more Xu Niannian thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, as if her heart was blocked, and once fixed on something, she couldn’t let it go.
Jin Yu lifted her face and, seeing the redness around her eyes, became even more convinced that something had happened. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have suddenly come looking for him without warning.
And she certainly wouldn’t have lashed out at him in front of so many people.
Didn’t he know his wife’s temperament well?
"Wife, we’ve agreed that we shouldn’t keep secrets from each other," he reminded her.
