153: The Couple Joins Forces

The Couple Joins Forces

Listening to Yun Muzhong's self-righteous words, Shen Zhengyao thoroughly understood what it meant by change being an ever-present element in the world and in relationships. When the Shen family used to be powerful, everyone who met him—the future heir of the Shen family—would surely be respectful. Even the usually wooden Yun Muzhong treated him lovingly and kindly. He had never shown him such a hostile expression. 1

"Sure, sure… Yun Muzhong, haha! My Shen family might be in the gutter, but even so, we don't have an uncle like yourself. I wonder how Great Aunt and Youngest Aunt would react to your affair."

Yun Muzhong's complexion turned pale. He definitely couldn't allow the old lady and his relatives from the Yang family to find out about this. He glowered at Shen Zhengyao and said, "Shen Zhengyao, do you think that you'll lead a better life after telling them? Don't treat them as fools! Regardless, I am also a blood-related son of the old lady, and you are merely her nephew!"

That was exactly Shen Zhengyao's weak spot. No matter what, his surname was Shen, and the Yun family would never wholeheartedly support him.

Wang Qiuge stood by the side and watched the show unfold. She was especially delighted when she saw how the Grand Young Master of the Shen family—who had previously lived a privileged life—was feeling frustrated. In addition, her mission was undoubtedly to sow discord between Old Lady Shen and Yang Siru. She wasn't at all worried about having her identity exposed. It was best that they found out sooner rather than later, as it would allow her to replace her backer in disrupting the Yun family, as well as to vent her anger.

Of course, the backer was Yun Bixue, who was observing the scene at that moment.

After a while, Xie Limo arrived by Yun Bixue's side, accompanied by his elegant aura.

Yun Bixue was watching the scene with relish when she smelled a familiarly subtle and dark scent in the air. She sighed quietly. What was wrong with her? She had just spoken to him on the phone and was missing him already.

As she shook her head, Xie Limo wrapped his arms around her from behind in one swift movement. He lowered his head and softly sighed by her ear. "My dear?"

Startled, Yun Bixue turned her head around. Such an alluring and exquisite face, if it wasn't Xie Limo, who else could it have been?

Yun Bixue looked at her surroundings. Xie Shiyi had already retreated to a nearby location and had granted the couple some personal space. Yun Bixue lowered her voice and asked, "Isn't it still working hours now? Why did you leave your office? Also, how did you know that I was here?"

Xie Limo laughed lightly and the sound was so low, as if an antique zither was playing right beside Yun Bixue's ear. "My dear, you asked me so many questions in one go. Which one should I answer first?"

Yun Bixue's lips involuntarily curved up into a relaxed smile. As long as Xie Limo was by her side, her heart always felt grounded. Without further questioning, she pointed towards Shen Zhengyao and asked, "Take a guess, what will he do next?"

At that moment, Shen Zhengyao and Yun Muzhong were in a heated debate. Yun Muzhong and Wang Qiuge then took their leave, looking all puffed up. Only Shen Zhengyao remained standing on the spot.

Finally, he retrieved his things that had been scattered all over the floor and carried them out the entrance.

A hint of light flashed across Xie Limo's exquisite eyes. He pulled Yun Bixue's hand and said, "Let's go. We'll be seeing him again later."

"The Shen family overestimated their own abilities back then. They're still planning to rally the other prestigious families of Ning An City to plot against you. I want to hear what he has to say now."

Xie Limo looked at Yun Bixue with indulging eyes. "I know that my wife feels indignant inside. Later, you can step all over him and vent your frustration as much as you want."

Yun Bixue watched the solemn expression on Xie Limo's face and flashed him a dazzling smile. "Pampering me like that, aren't you afraid that I'll go astray?"

"To spoil my dear until she becomes unruly would delight my heart."

Yun Bixue's spirits lifted, and she took the initiative to hug Xie Limo's arm. The two of them strode towards the same direction as their hearts shared a tacit understanding.

Shortly after they arrived at Xie Limo's office, it was conveyed from someone outside that Shen Zhengyao had requested for a meeting.
