“Ye Jinxuan, stop being unreasonable!” Xia Chunyu said angrily.

“I am not being unreasonable! You are! You are heartless. I’ve treated you so well, and I always try my best to take care of you, but what do I get? Why do you always yell and curse at me? Every time you don’t like something I do, you just threaten me. Are you just that cold-hearted? What more can I do to thaw that frozen heart of yours? Can -” Ye Jiayao broke off, unable to continue speaking through her tears. This was the first time she didn’t pretend to cry in front of him. All the thoughts of what she went through in her tragic time-travel covered her face in tears.

Women’s tears are men’s curse. Xia Chunyu’s anger evaporated as soon as he saw her cry. He resisted the urge to take her to his arms and comfort her. He wasn’t sure how such a small thing resulted in this turmoil. She practically accused him of being the devil incarnate!

Song Qi and Peng Wu hid behind the door, eavesdropping. They were both wondering how the fight started between the couple.

“Should I go inside, and urge them to make peace?” Peng Wu offered quietly.

“Let’s just wait for a while,” Song Qi replied. Right now, their sister-in-law was flying off the handle, and Song Qi wanted to see how would third-in-charge respond. This was a rare occasion to watch. Why should they interrupt? They would wait until big sister couldn’t handle it anymore before swooping in to help.

“Why are you being so sensitive? The other brothers will think that I treat you terribly. I’m just telling you not to bring the rabbits in! Did you forget that last time, they took a dump on the bed?” Chunyu evaded the crucial point.

“Stop talking nonsense. Be honest with me. Who am I to you?” Ye Jiayao cried.

Xia Chunyu was very close to losing his temper. This woman has lost her mind. Do I have to yield to her? She is already so cocky right now, what more if I give in to her demands? I’m getting away from this bullsh*t.

“I have no time to play your games, Ye Jinxuan. There are heaps of things to deal with in the village.” Xia Chunyu turned around and walked away.

He was running?  That little coward! Ye Jiayao was so angry, she could feel a pit building in her stomach. If he walked away without the problem being solved, she just wasted her time and energy.

Ye Jiayao jumped down from the couch and chased after him. “No, you don’t need to go. It is your place, I will leave.”

Song Qi and Peng Wu looked at each other outside the door, both knowing that they could not let the couple out of the room until they’ve fixed their problems. Song Qi immediately pulled out the short knife from his pocket and bolted the door.

Due to the rush of adrenaline and anger she was feeling, Ye Jiayao was able to push Chunyu away, making him stagger. She rushed to the door before he could recover.

Why the f*ck can’t I open this door?

“Are you insane?” Xia Chunyu didn’t want her to go out looking like she was at the moment. He grasped her waist and dragged her back to the middle of the room. She wasn’t stable, and who knows what she would do? He now knew that he had to clear up whatever mess this was, or he would lose her.

“Let go of me! Let me out! I don’t want to stay here! I can’t bear this any longer. I don’t want to see you anymore! You’re just a prick who doesn’t care about me!” Ye Jiayao screamed, throwing kicks and punches his way. Since she was already fighting, she might as well do some real damage to him.
