After watching Liu Junyi leave the room, Ye Fei moved closer to Ye Ningshuang and quietly asked, "Why did you come here alone? Where are my second and youngest aunts?" Ye Ningshuang was now his woman, so he didn’t feel the need for formality with her. Besides, the promotion ceremony for his aunt was a big event, and Ye Fei was a bit displeased that his other aunts hadn’t attended.
Sensing his dissatisfaction, Ye Ningshuang grew flustered and hurriedly explained, "Ningxue is still feeling a bit awkward about everything, and Ningbing and I are trying to help her through it. Still Ningxue didn’t want to come, so I had Ningbing stay with her."
Seeing her nervousness, Ye Fei felt a surge of affection. How could this powerful woman, the head of a major group, now seem so much like a wife who was afraid of being reprimanded by her husband? Softly, he said, "I’m sorry, I spoke too harshly."
