Battle Of Words

Since Ye Yang had the courage to be so direct, it meant that he wasn't fearful of Liang Hongyan. For this reason, Liang Hongyan's threat was rendered useless against Ye Yang.

To be honest, Ye Yang initially bore no ill-will against Liang Hongyan, but her words earlier made him slightly uncomfortable. And despite her exasperation, Liang Hongyan was still talking to him in such a manner so Ye Yang felt no need to show her any mercy.

Ye Yang was a respectful person most of the time, but Liang Hongyan had blindly chosen to annoy him. Hence, he thought that it justified his ruthless behavior towards her.

"Big sis, you didn't use to talk to me this way. You even praised me back then." As a man of experience, jokes of this level came naturally to Ye Yang.

"That red mole of yours, didn't you love how I…" Although Ye Yang wanted to tell a more eventful story, he couldn't bring himself to complete it. He wanted to tell the story for the sake of horrifying the audience. But before he even succeeded, Ye Yang felt repulsed by his own words.

However, some unfinished stories dealt greater damage than a full revelation. Despite not finishing his sentence, the crowd's imagination was running wild.

The gaze of the onlookers around gradually became more ambiguous. While Liang Hongyan was already used to such scrutiny, subconsciously, she still felt embarrassed. She was beginning to regret humiliating Ye Yang in her quest to belittle Huang Ruobing.

However, it was too late for regrets. Liang Hongyan was utterly humiliated.

Meanwhile, Liang Hongyan's company for tonight could no longer endure the looks being cast at them. Peeling her hand off his arm, he flung her arm aside before storming off without looking back. It was clear that he felt embarrassed by this scene.

Once the man left, the crowd began to disperse. Huang Ruobing took this chance to pull Ye Yang away.

"Who knew that you had a side like this?" Huang Ruobing was surprised. She had expected a confrontation between herself and Liang Hongyan, but to her pleasant surprise, Ye Yang had trampled all over that woman.

Although many people didn't think highly of Liang Hongyan because of her background, they feigned ignorance most of the time to avoid stirring up a confrontation. But after what Ye Yang had done today, the woman probably wouldn't appear before Huang Ruobing for quite a while.

"So sorry you had to hear that." While Ye Yang emerged victorious from the battle, he was still revolted by what he had said earlier. Still, the outcome was remarkable.

"You're getting more and more interesting," said Huang Ruobing as she studied Ye Yang with mild interest.

The man was filled with mysteries. Despite his simple attire, be it his fighting prowess or manner of speech, Ye Yang was excellent in both aspects.

Ye Yang flashed a faint smile at her without responding. Instead, he changed the subject, "What plans do you have after this?"

"I'm heading home, of course." Huang Ruobing was puzzled by this question.

"Do you want to try to make things bigger?" There was a malicious glint in Ye Yang's eyes.

The incident earlier had clearly shortened the distance between the couple. Also, Huang Ruobing's curiosity at Ye Yang's suggestion proved just how well his performance at the restaurant had been.

"What do you have in mind?" she asked.

"For example… Going home together." Ye Yang recalled how there was an aggressive figure named He Dong lurking around Huang Ruobing.

Huang Ruobing did not answer immediately. Instead, she fell silent, contemplating the probability of this plan being pulled off successfully. Although Ye Yang was her contract boyfriend, he was still a man. Something might actually happen between them as they shared the same room, so this made Huang Ruobing hesitate.

However, her hesitation didn't last long. Soon, Huang Ruobing agreed to it and turned the car around. "Let's head to my mansion then."

Ye Yang had no opinions about this. On the inside, he was thinking that once word of this affair got out, everyone would flip out.

Sure enough, once He Dong received this information, he flew into a fit of rage.

Though, after this morning's incident, He Dong stopped appearing before the couple. Instead, he sent someone to follow Huang Ruobing and Ye Yang around. Nothing could cool He Dong down now.

To He Dong, Huang Ruobing's act was a blatant challenge and a protest against him and their marriage. Having always been a prideful person, how could He Dong just sit back and tolerate this?!

His chest was heaving up and down in fury. Without so much as a glance, He Dong picked up the nearest decoration and smashed the expensive piece into the ground before gradually calming down.

Upon regaining composure, He Dong's facial expression became dreadfully dark. But at this time of night, no one could see the ferocious look on his face.

After a while, He Dong picked up the phone that was thrown onto the sofa out of rage earlier which miraculously survived due to an error in angle. He Dong pushed in a combination of numbers.

"It's me. Investigate a person named Ye Yang and while you're at it, check if there's anything wrong with Huang Ruobing's company."

While he was on the phone, He Dong maintain a composed tone. If one had not witnessed the mad look on He Dong's face as he was breaking objects earlier, they would definitely assume that He Dong was still the same courteous gentleman he appeared to be normally.

After the call, He Dong smashed his phone onto the ground. The gadget that had escaped destruction earlier couldn't escape its fate after all.

He Dong's gaze grew darker with indecipherable emotions surging behind them.

"Ye. Yang," He Dong growled with emphasis through gritted teeth. "You're really unlucky to have pissed me off."

He Dong had never been a kind man. Instead, he had always kept his true-nature hidden away. But after this series of humiliation, He Dong had basically shed away all pretenses to allow his true self to emerge.
