Capítulo 1496: Chapter 1496: Why Would a Woman Need to Protect ?
With a bitter smile, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but reach out, pulling Lin Tong’s delicate body into his arms, and sincerely said, “Wife, you’re wonderful.”
Lin Tong felt sowhat unnatural with Ye Xuan’s gesture, but she didn’t resist.
Pursing her lips, Lin Tong chuckled lightly, “I just received news from Liu Ying.”
Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow, “You investigated?”
“Yes,” Lin Tong said truthfully, “Half a month ago, she followed Liu Haoyang to Yanzi City. The marriage alliance between the Liu Family and the Wang Family has been rescheduled, and it’s likely that the day after tomorrow evening, Wang Shaoyang will hold another engagent feast with Liu Ying.”
“What?”
Hearing this news unexpectedly, even Ye Xuan couldn’t help but be shocked.
Half a month ago, he and Liu Ying were inseparable, as he had just returned from the battlefield, and they were both caught up in an extre frenzy.
Yet just half a month ago, Liu Ying had actually gone with Liu Haoyang to Yanzi City?
Why?
Liu Ying had always been extrely resistant to this marriage alliance, hadn’t she? The last ti he went to Yanzi City to rescue her from the Wang Family, why would she jump into the fire pit again? Why would she agree to marry Wang Shaoyang?
Ye Xuan couldn’t comprehend why Liu Ying suddenly compromised.
“I was also surprised upon hearing this news,” Lin Tong looked at Ye Xuan for a mont and smiled again, “But after putting myself in her shoes, if I were Liu Ying, I might have made the sa choice.”
“Why?” Ye Xuan asked.
“Because of love,” Lin Tong looked seriously at Ye Xuan, “She loves you.”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “She loves ?”
“Otherwise?” Lin Tong sighed, “If it weren’t for you, why would she accept the marriage alliance? All these years, she has used various ans to avoid and resist it. Even when there was truly no other way, given her nature, her most reasonable behavior would’ve been to end it all.”
Ye Xuan remained silent.
After a long while, he lifted his head, “Was she doing it to keep safe?”
“That’s likely,”
Lin Tong nodded and said, “Your recent venture to the battlefield, despite your triumphant return, still left you injured. Won are sensitive, and even a minor injury is enough for her to contemplate many more consequences.
She knows well that this sudden war was entirely manipulated behind the scenes by Wang Shaoyang. While you survived this ti, who can guarantee you’ll survive next ti?
The Wang Family, with its vast resources and endless power, can start a war like this and in no ti spark another crisis.
It only takes one accident to utterly destroy a person.
Liu Ying knows this too well, which is why she compromised, to protect you, by conceding to the Wang Family and the Liu Family.
As guessed, before she left, having negotiated with Wang Shaoyang, the agreent was for Wang Shaoyang not to have any intentions toward you from now on, to which he agreed, and this all ca to pass.”
After listening to Lin Tong’s words, Ye Xuan closed his eyes.
He forced himself to stay calm, yet, even so, his explosively vigorous body trembled slightly, filled with raging fury.
Liu Ying, oh Liu Ying, you’re so foolish!
Did you think Wang Shaoyang acted solely for you? Even without you, the Wang Family would employ ruthless tactics against Purgatory.
Did you think your compromise would end it all?
No.
In a confrontation between two sides, the only way to truly end the conflict is to determine a victor; the loser gets utterly crushed.
In fact, should the Wang Family and the Liu Family complete the marriage alliance, any attack Wang Shaoyang launches against Ye Xuan would be even fiercer than before!
Even without all of this.
I, mighty Ye Xuan, when have I ever needed a woman to protect ?
Ye Xuan opened his eyes, his voice deep and beast-like, “Book a flight.”
Lin Tong didn’t hesitate, directly calling the assistant.
The call was answered on the other side, “CEO!”
Lin Tong, “Book my husband the earliest flight to Yanzi City.”
“Yes.”
Lin Tong hung up the phone, turned to Ye Xuan, and with a smile said, “It’s quite late now, the earliest flight might not be until tomorrow.”
“I know.”
Ye Xuan nodded and then stood up, took a deep breath and said, “It’s very early, wife, get so rest.”
Having said that, Ye Xuan went upstairs.
Lin Tong shouted, “Husband!”
Ye Xuan paused in his steps and turned to look at Lin Tong.
After contemplating, Lin Tong asked, “What are you planning to do?”
“As usual.” Ye Xuan grinned, squinting his eyes with a sly smile, “By the most violent ans, get my woman back, let that man be utterly crushed!”
Lin Tong was silent for a mont.
Ye Xuan glanced at Lin Tong, and couldn’t help but smile, “Wife, are you afraid?”
Lin Tong shook her head, “Not afraid, as long as you’re not afraid.”
Ye Xuan nodded, added nothing more, and turned to head upstairs.
anwhile, Lin Tong watched Ye Xuan’s back as he ascended the stairs, sitting alone on the downstairs sofa for a long while, unable to regain her composure.
At this mont, her emotions were unimaginably complex.
She unconsciously revealed a bitter smile.
Once, how proud she was, never imagining one day, she would speak kindly of another woman in front of her husband, encouraging him to be with another woman.
Was it only because of the guilt in her heart?
No.
It’s because Lin Tong, just like Liu Ying, loves him deeply.
Liu Ying could, for him, abandon her dignity and pride, compromising with the Wang Family, sacrificing her future life.
Lin Tong, too, could fully support him unconditionally, risking everything to clash with the colossal Wang Family.
This great mountain could crush the Lin Family at any ti, couldn’t it?
Even the current Lin Family!
…
The East Sea was pouring with rain, while Yanzi City had already started snowing heavily.
From north to south, the climate difference was imnse.
In the East Sea, one only needed a light jacket to keep warm, while in Yanzi City, it had formally entered winter.
Snowflakes covered the ground, almost dyeing the entire city white in this deep night.
Wang Shaoyang sat in the study, not practicing calligraphy but reading a book.
A man in black ca beside him, whispered, “Master…”
Wang Shaoyang didn’t lift his head, calmly said, “Speak.”
“Ye Xuan booked a flight to Yanzi City, he’ll likely arrive tomorrow night,” the man in black said gravely.
“Oh?” Wang Shaoyang raised his eyebrow with interest, “So, he’s looking to take Liu Ying back?”
“Presumably, yes.”
“Interesting, very interesting indeed.”
Wang Shaoyang narrowed his eyes, a chilling glint seeping from the depths of his dark gaze, “That young man survived against the odds, does he think he’s won now? I initially planned to wait until after the engagent party with Liu Ying to make a move against him, but now? He’s sending himself right to ?”
The man in black reminded, “Ye Xuan is cunning and deceitful, he might seize the mont Master isn’t vigilant to abduct Miss Liu.”
