My Wife, The Ice Queen President-Chapter 435 - 434 Tang Ning (first update) _1

Chapter 435: Chapter 434 Tang Ning (first update) _1

Seeing this, Ye Xiong knew that Yang Xinyi wasn’t as indifferent as she appeared to be; deep down, she actually cared about Su Zhentian quite a bit. She just couldn’t find a way to step down gracefully.

It looked like she needed an opportunity to accept Su Zhentian.

“Just kidding, what’s with the excitement?” Ye Xiong laughed.

In her frustration, Yang Xinyi grabbed a pillow next to her and hurled it fiercely at him.

Ye Xiong had just caught the pillow when a stainless steel water cup smashed onto his head the next moment.

“Wife, are you trying to murder your husband and become a widow?” Ye Xiong touched his head and forced a smile.

...

The next day, Ye Xiong sat in the back of Yang Yueru’s car with Yang Xinyi, heading to the airport to catch a flight.

When boarding the plane, Yang Yueru waved to them with a look of lingering resentment directed at Ye Xiong.

Ye Xiong heaved a sigh of relief internally, grateful he had managed to keep his integrity intact.

After returning to the provincial city and staying there for one night, the following day Ye Xiong and Yang Xinyi took a car heading toward Jiangnan.

After the long and exhausting journey, Yang Xinyi fell asleep in the car, her head resting on Ye Xiong’s shoulder.

Since their argument, this was the first time she’d been so close to him. Ye Xiong felt a familiar sensation, tinged with a hint of strangeness, and couldn’t help but gently stroke her hair.

In the evening, they finally arrived back home.

“Cousin, cousin-in-law, you’re back?”

Tang Ning was feeding Xiao Baibai in the garden and upon seeing them return, she rushed over and hugged Yang Xinyi tightly: “Cousin, boo-hoo, I’ve missed you so much, I thought I was going to die.”

“I missed you too,” Yang Xinyi said, touching her head emotionally.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen my cousin-in-law too. Come on, give me a hug.” Ye Xiong opened his arms and walked over.

He was just joking, but to his surprise, Tang Ning suddenly let go of Yang Xinyi and gave him a big hug.

Smelling the scent that was different from Yang Xinyi’s on Tang Ning, Ye Xiong got confused.

What’s gotten into my sister-in-law today?

“Tang Ning, why are you here again? Let go,” Yang Xinyi said urgently.

Tang Ning finally released Ye Xiong and went back to Yang Xinyi’s side, giggling, “Sorry cousin, I got a little too excited.”

“You’re not a child anymore, don’t do that again,” Yang Xinyi said, her mouth twitching at the thought that no matter how excited Tang Ning was, she shouldn’t let others take advantage of the situation, especially when looking at that smug bastard.

Her gaze fell on Ye Xiong’s face and she scolded, “Don’t think that just because Tang Ning and I aren’t blood-related that you can have any improper thoughts about her. I warn you, if I find out you have any bad intentions toward Tang Ning, I’ll surely cut you…”

She made a scissor motion with her middle and index fingers, hinting that if Ye Xiong dared to act out of line, she would make good on her threat.

Ye Xiong instinctively clamped his legs together.

“Cousin, don’t worry, I won’t give him a chance, and if you don’t trust him, at least trust me!” Tang Ning said.

Ye Xiong’s face darkened as if she were the epitome of virtue.

If it weren’t for his self-control, he would have been seduced by her a long time ago.

Seeing Ye Xiong’s gaze resting on her neck, Tang Ning was not the slightest bit embarrassed or breathless, as if she had forgotten the incident that only the two of them knew about.

Ye Xiong was defeated by her thick-skinned attitude; his mouth twitched, and he said, “You hear that? Tang Ning won’t give me any opportunities, so it’s not like I can force myself on her, right?”

“Shut up, the more you talk, the less decency you have,” Yang Xinyi scolded.

Decency, what’s that? I’ve never had it since I was born, Ye Xiong thought to himself.

After that, Ye Xiong went out to buy groceries and cooked a delicious meal for the two women.

Every time he came back, he personally cooked for them, making a delicious meal had already become a ritual.

The two women ate heartily, that domestic flavor returning at the dinner table once again.

That evening, after Ye Xiong finished changing Yang Xinyi’s dressing, he returned to his room to begin practicing the second part of the Nine Acupoint Divine Needles.

On the nights he stayed at his cousin’s place in Capital City, he would practice this secret technique whenever he had the chance, hoping to master the latter half as soon as possible. Once he did, he could start practicing the Sealing Secret Technique, which would be beneficial for alleviating his genetic condition in the future.

While he was practicing, the phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was Tang Ning’s call.

What did this girl want, calling him in the middle of the night?

“Cousin-in-law, the light in the bathroom is broken, and I can’t take a shower,” Tang Ning said from the other end of the phone.

“What time is it, and you’re still not done taking a shower?”

“I was writing my thesis and lost track of time.”

Ye Xiong initially thought of letting her shower in his room, but then he realized that if Xinyi found out, it would definitely cause trouble. Therefore, he decided to go and have a look. If it was just the tube that was broken, he could replace it.

He put down the silver needle and headed towards Tang Ning’s room.

Tang Ning’s room was diagonally opposite Yang Xinyi’s. Ye Xiong intended to knock but didn’t want to wake Yang Xinyi, so he first tried the door handle.

Surprisingly, it was unlocked.

As Ye Xiong walked in, he immediately smelled the fresh scent of a young girl, mixed with a strange odor.

The scent was familiar, almost as if he had smelled it somewhere before.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Xiong felt a bit embarrassed because he remembered smelling this in Du Yueru’s room; it was probably…

Could it be that Tang Ning had the same… peculiar taste as her mother?

That was just a guess, and Ye Xiong couldn’t be sure whether it was true or not.

Inside the room, things were placed somewhat casually, with pink bedsheets, pink pillows, and pink curtains. The color scheme of the entire bed was very warm.

He had once heard that one could tell a person’s personality from the colors of their favorite bedding.

Pink signified a repressed personality.

Ye Xiong walked over to the desk where a thesis paper lay, and Tang Ning sat beside it, looking slightly flushed.

“I was about to take a shower when it broke,” Tang Ning explained.

“Let me take a look first.”

Ye Xiong entered the bathroom and turned on the flashlight feature of his phone, removing the light tube to inspect it.

Unsure if it was damaged, he returned to his room to take down the light tube there and try it out.

“Turn on the bedside lamp, and I’ll replace it with a new tube to test it out,” Ye Xiong said.

Tang Ning nodded, walked over to the bed, and turned on the bedside lamp. Ye Xiong removed the room’s light tube; immediately, the room plunged into darkness, with only the dim glow of the bedside lamp still on.

Ye Xiong took the tube to the bathroom and switched it out, but when he tried it, the light still did not come on.

“It must be a wiring issue. It’s too late now, so I’ll just take down the bedside lamp and put it in the bathroom for you to use tonight. I’ll check out the wiring tomorrow and fix it for you,” Ye Xiong said.

Tang Ning hummed in agreement, her voice quieter than a mosquito’s.

After installing the room’s tube back in place, Ye Xiong walked over to the bedside and took the bedside lamp along with its power socket.

Standing behind Ye Xiong, Tang Ning watched his robust figure, her heart pounding wildly, nearly leaping out of her chest.

The bathroom light wasn’t broken at all; she had cut one of the wires with scissors.
