Chapter 170: A Misunderstanding

Ye Nanshen furrowed his brows slightly as he reached out to take the phone. His expression fluctuated between brightness and darkness as he read the message.

Rong Qi let out a disdainful snort and sat beside him in silence. It was one thing to convince oneself to accept something, but it was another to actually see it happen.

Ye Nanshen glanced at the message, lowered his gaze, and deleted it without saying a word.

Ye Nanshen silently looked at the back of Rong Qi’s head, wondering if she was angry. He was never good at speaking, and he was afraid of saying something he should not and causing trouble, so he decided to remain silent and wait for her to ask him before answering.

However, Rong Qi was waiting for him to explain on his own. She thought he would explain like he did before. But after waiting for a long time without him speaking, her anger and grievances rose.

In the end, it was Rong Qi’s own conceit. She thought, ‘How could the childhood friendship between him and his ex-girlfriend be compared to our marriage as two strangers? Just by the tone of his ex’s message, I knew that Ye Nanshen had received her messages before. Since they had no contact anymore and he didn’t even save that woman’s number, why didn’t he just block her? Or was he afraid of being discovered if he didn’t save the number and deleted the messages? d.a.m.n it! It must be the latter!’

Rong Qi’s mind exploded with buzzing thoughts. Now her mind was filled with thoughts of Ye Nanshen secretly being involved with another woman behind her back.

Rong Qi had an ugly expression, and she stood up to leave.

That was how people were. If a misunderstanding was not explained at the time, they would only think more and make it more complicated.

Ye Nanshen furrowed his brows tightly and quickly got up from the bed. He asked, “Where are you going?”

“Going home! I have to go to cla.s.s tomorrow,” said Rong Qi as she held Rabbity in her arms, her expression devoid of emotion.

This was Rong Qi’s character. The angrier she was, the calmer her face became.

“Weren’t we supposed to stay here for dinner?” Ye Nanshen asked.

“Not anymore. I want to go back and study. You can eat by yourself!” After speaking, Rong Qi did not say another word and opened the door to leave.

Ye Nanshen’s heart skipped a beat as he walked out. He saw the butler downstairs and suddenly remembered that he had not brought his wheelchair. He cursed lowly and, after turning back and sitting in the wheelchair, he came out again, but Rong Qi was nowhere to be seen.

Ye Nanshen happened to run into Zhong Li downstairs. Ye Nanshen’s expression looked unpleasant as if he was in a hurry. He said, “Mr. Zhong, let Grandpa know that we won’t be having dinner here. We have something to take care of and need to go back.”

“Oh…” Zhong Li looked at Ye Nanshen’s departing figure, still not quite grasping the situation.

Zhong Li was about to come and tell Ye Nanshen that it seemed Rong Qi was in a bad mood and ran out. Now Ye Nanshen was coming and seemed to be in a hurry, Zhong Li believed that they had quarreled.

‘A quarrel? Not good!’

Zhong Li’s eyebrows jumped, and he hurried to inform Old Mr. Ye.

On the other hand, Ye Nanshen, who chased after Rong Qi, was indeed a step too late. Rong Qi had already asked Xu Yi to drive her back.

Ye Nanshen’s brows furrowed tightly, and he immediately asked Zhuang Ling to drive him back.

Zhuang Ling thought something serious had happened and quickly helped Ye Nanshen into the car, personally driving at a high speed.

At the entrance of Clearcreek Mansion, just as Zhuang Ling drove the car in, Ye Nanshen received a call from Gu Ziye.

“Shen, do you have time? My sister is returning to the country, and I want to talk to you for a bit…”

Zhuang Ling turned around and asked, “Master Shen, should we go in? If you need something, I can go in and get it for you.”

“No need, go to Charmed s.p.a.ce and find Gu Ziye,” said Ye Nanshen. His dark pupils were clouded with a layer of darkness, his gaze profound, causing Zhuang Ling to turn back to the front..
