My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage-Chapter 69 - Taking a Hit

She indeed did it purposefully.

Having listened to these shameless men and women flirting all the way, and just when it had reached a climax, she of course had to cause some disruption.

If Lin Fuying wouldn’t let her be, always flirting and throwing shade her way, then she couldn’t let Lin Fuying have her way either.

“Did sister carry the things back by herself? Where is your bodyguard?” Lin Fuying barely managed to regain her composure before she spoke, her words loaded with insinuations.

Chu Nanli said, “What’s the matter? Does Lin Concubine fancy someone by my side?”

With a double entendre, she didn’t believe Lin Fuying couldn’t understand.

As expected, Lin Fuying’s cheeks flushed red, and she said with a forced smile, “What do you mean by that, sister?”

“Chu Nanli, do you still have any regard for me?! In front of me, you start bullying Yingying. When will you be kind-hearted?”

Chu Nanli innocently replied, “Seeing Lin Concubine inquire about the bodyguard by my side, I thought Lin Concubine wanted him to go to Furong Academy for some errands, so I asked. How is that bullying her?”

“Sharp-tongued!”

Ye Yunting’s dark eyes stared intensely at her: “Today at the Auction House, you deliberately didn’t give the medicinal ingredients to Fuying and let outsiders laugh at us. Truly a worthy Princess Consort of mine!”

“Those were first bid for by me, let’s not forget that, Prince,” she retorted.

Ye Yunting was not persuaded; his gaze was as sharp as a knife upon her face, and he warned, word by word, “Remember your status, and don’t get entangled with other men! If one day I hear any unsavory rumors, I will make you end without a burial place!”

Chu Nanli’s lips twitched imperceptibly, and a trace of sarcasm lurked in her light-colored pupils.

Just because the Auction House owner had spoken in her favor? Just because she had only brought a male bodyguard out? That constituted entanglement with other men?

She calmly responded, “The last time I was with you, Prince, it was ‘better dead than alive.’ Now it has escalated to ‘ending without a burial place.’ It seems, Prince, you never intended to give me a good life, not even a decent death.”

At her sardonic tone, a vein on Ye Yunting’s forehead throbbed, and he swept his sleeve fiercely.

Lin Fuying exclaimed in shock.

A surge of energy rushed towards Chu Nanli.

Chu Nanli’s expression changed suddenly, and she quickly dodged to the side; she barely evaded it with her body, but her arm was still struck, and the medicinal herbs she held fell to the ground from the oilpaper bag.

Chu Nanli covered her slightly numb arm, breaking out in a cold sweat.

The energy wasn’t powerful enough to injure her vitals, but had she not dodged and been hit in the stomach, it could have been serious.

Thinking of this, Chu Nanli felt both anger and hatred.

Did that despicable Ye Yunting even know that he almost killed another one of his children!

“Sister, are you okay?”

Lin Fuying asked with feigned concern.

“I’ll escort you back to Furong Academy,” said Ye Yunting.

“And sister?”

“She won’t die. It was just a lesson,” he said with a cold voice.

The two of them left together.

Chu Nanli clenched her fists, forcing down the frustration in her heart, and comforted herself: Don’t be angry, it’s fine. I made money off that vile man today; money is what’s most important.

With that thought, her mood improved quite a bit. Nonetheless, Chu Nanli still felt some regret she hadn’t managed to ruin Lin Fuying’s plan of becoming an Imperial Attendant.
