36 A Unique Dish (1/2)

”Who's the b*stard that tossed this at me?” An angry voice reverberated across the room.

Xiao Fangfang cradled her head as she broke out in expletives.

The moment she lifted her head and spotted Ye Xiong, however, her rage instantly exploded into violence. She immediately grabbed a book from the ground and hurled it at Ye Xiong.

”Yikes, it's one crazy person after another. Could it be that both of you have reached menopause?”

Ye Xiong ducked his head once more, causing the book to violently slam into a wall, dropping its cover in the process.

”You b*stard. How dare you throw a book at me.”

Xiao Fangfang was scanning her surroundings in search of another weapon when Ye Xiong howled, ”You crazy woman! It wasn't me who threw the book at you! What're you even trying to pull?”

”Who else could it be but you? Yang Xinyi?”

Xiao Fangfang had been Yang Xinyi's friend since childhood, and as such, she understood Xinyi's personality very well. While she could be cold and arrogant, she was always graceful. She never lashed out at others, let alone hurling books at other people. As such, Xiao Fangfang had determined Ye Xiong to be the culprit.

”I'm sorry, Fangfang. It's my mistake,” Yang Xinyi interjected.

”Heard that, you crazy woman?” Ye Xiong snorted.

”It's all this b*stard's fault. He made me mad, so I hurled the book at him. I didn't expect it to hit you instead,” Yang Xinyi explained.

”Why's this rascal even here?” Xiao Fangfang asked quizzically.

She had not been acquainted with Ye Xiong for very long, but every time they met, a bad experience would ensue. Especially during Yang Xinyi's wedding, where she had been groped by this b*stard several times. It could be said that he had left a lasting impression on her.

”Isn't it normal to visit my sick wife?” Ye Xiong said with a smile.

”Who's your wife?” Xiao Fangfang was stunned.

Ye Xiong pointed at Yang Xinyi, who was lying in bed. ”That person over there.”

”Xinyi's your wife?” Xiao Fangfang flinched. Her gaze landed on Yang Xinyi, her expression showing her disbelief.

Yang Xinyi explained the entire situation from top to bottom, and she made it clear that she only married Ye Xiong for him to serve as a shield.

”Xinyi, you should've hired someone who looks more like the part. Won't you feel embarrassed to take this rascal out?” While these were the words that came from Xiao Fangfang's mouth, her look of disappointment had not escaped Ye Xiong's sight.

”I know you're jealous.” Ye Xiong had a smug grin on his face as he approached Xiao Fangfang. He continued, ”I have an agreement with my wife, in which, she can search for other companions when she needs them, and so too can I. With that in mind, how does dinner tonight sound, good-looking?”

”In your dreams! Any female that falls for you is blind!” Xiao Fangfang scolded, her face was beet-red.

”Fangfang, don't lower yourself to his level.” Seeing the two argue had caused Yang Xinyi to feel irritated. She then added, ”Ye Xiong, help me complete the exit procedures. Sorry Fangfang, but I'd like you to send me back.”

Ye Xiong extended his hand and curled his fingers into an 'OK' sign.

”Brace yourself, I'll deal with you when we get back,” Yang Xinyi warned.

After settling the bill, Ye Xiong drove Yang Xinyi back home, with Xiao Fangfang as a tagalong.

Along the way back, the two never stopped arguing. Yang Xinyi mediated several times, only for the pair to resume arguing a moment later. This left Yang Xinyi with no other option but to plug her ears with earbuds, and at long last, silence was obtained.

”Oh yeah, my dear wife. The clothes I helped you take off last night are still on your bed. Make sure you wash them,” Ye Xiong reminded her the moment they returned home.

Yang Xinyi's expression instantly turned dark. This was one of the greatest embarrassments in her life, and she had warned Ye Xiong to never speak of it. However, he had gone and mentioned it in front of Xiao Fangfang, spurring the murderous intent within her.

”You'd best change your bedsheets as well. You were so sick last night that you soaked the bed,” Ye Xiong continued.
