When he saw that she wasn’t responding, ng Desheng beca increasingly anxious, "Please, leave us be. I understand—crushing us underfoot is as easy for you as stepping on ants. So why bother? Why waste your ti and energy on us, right...?"
Ye Ning still looked at him, smiling.
That smile, cold as ice, made ng Desheng feel as though he was gazing upon a frozen lake.
Just then...
Soone began to slowly erge from within.
Both of them looked over.
Mu Yeli, with his tall and upright figure, appeared at the door.
His hands were tucked into the pockets of his black trousers as he walked out with a steady gait.
His seemingly gentle eyes appeared as indiscernible as a profound abyss, the darkness within his irises virtually imasurable. With his high-bridged, deep-set nose and defined cheeks beneath thin lips, he looked every bit the cool and aloof man.
His deanor exuded the arrogance of a king. The imposing air he radiated was awe-inspiring.
Despite having been with ng Desheng for many years and having t many dignitary figures, Han Yefei had never seen a man with more impressive deanor than Mu Yeli.
Indeed, a man’s deanor is directly proportional to his accomplishnt and confidence.
Han Yefei instantly felt honored to have t such a man as Mu Yeli.
Usually, such a man wasn’t soone ordinary people could randomly et.
"M-Mr. Mu..."
Seeing that Mu Yeli had also appeared, ng Desheng’s face turned even paler.
He hurriedly said, "I apologize for disturbing Mr. Mu. But, Mr. Mu, Miss Ye, you must believe —we were all deceived by Shi Xuan."
By now, Mu Yeli had walked over to Ye Ning, he casually pulled her towards him and held her shoulder affectionately, asking, "So, Shi Xuan is behind all this?"
ng Desheng quickly replied with a nod, "Yes."
"What exactly did he tell you?" asked Mu Yeli quietly.
Under his intense gaze, ng Desheng stuttered, "He told us... that because... because Ye Ning wants revenge on him, she took ng Na away... because ng Na stole her man... and that Ye Ning wants to seek revenge on ng Na and wishes her suffering."
"He told you, and you just believed him?" Mu Yeli’s smile was ice-cold.
"I thought... I thought it made sense. A woman’s jealousy is strong. ng Na did steal Ye Ning’s man..."
"What did you say?" His voice dropped several degrees lower.
Only then did ng Desheng realize he had misspoke.
Mu Yeli glared at him. "Take a good look. Does Ye Ning need to envy your daughter?"
"No... of course not..."
Being able to stand beside the powerful Mu Yeli, she didn’t need to envy anyone.
She certainly wasn’t interested in a man like Shi Xuan.
"So do you now understand how foolish you’ve been?"
"Yes... yes... I do now..."
ng Desheng inwardly wished he could kill Shi Xuan.
He made himself sound so important, intentionally hiding the existence of Mu Yeli.
If I had known Ye Ning’s man was Mu Yeli, all his bravado would’ve crumbled instantly.
He must’ve known just how much he pales in comparison to Mu Yeli and that’s why he kept secretive about it.
ng Desheng said, "I only hope that Miss Ye can be forgiving."
Even though he felt wronged, at this point, he could only swallow his resentnt, bottling it up inside.
