"What do you mean by ’what’? Are you feeling wronged?"

Leng Qiuge pouted, tears glistening in her eyes, and said pitifully, "Other people’s men are always gentle and considerate, never letting their women suffer or feel wronged, offering full service from massages to back presses to foot baths. Why is my fate so bitter?

My figure, looks, and family background, in what way am I inferior to those other women? But why doesn’t my man care about me at all?

I criticize you a bit, and you act like you’re the one who’s wronged. Who is really wronged here?

Falling in love with a man like you, I must have accumulated a lifetime of sins; suddenly, living feels so exhausting. I might as well be dead!"

Leng Qiuge burst into tears, burying her head in her knees, sobbing uncontrollably.

Ye Xuan, who couldn’t stand tears, was stunned for quite a while at this scene, even though he knew very well that Leng Qiuge’s acting skills were no worse than Liu Ying’s.

But he still couldn’t resist.

Holding out for less than two seconds, Ye Xuan sighed, looking at Leng Qiuge and said in a coaxing, gentle tone, "I...I was wrong, Qiuge, I was wrong, alright? Give me another chance, come back to the East Sea with me, let me make it up to you, okay?"

"You ask me to go back, and I just go back? How embarrassing would that be for me?" Leng Qiuge continued crying without lifting her head.

Ye Xuan was speechless: "Then I’m begging you, please come back with me, can’t you reluctantly agree to that?"

The crying of Leng Qiuge abruptly stopped, and she finally smiled with satisfaction.

In life, dues must be paid eventually.

Ye Xuan didn’t believe this before, but now he did.

Perhaps, having done too many wrongs to Lin Tong and Su Yumo, like deceiving them with various acting skills, was the reason heaven arranged these two vixens, Leng Qiuge and Liu Ying, for him.

Indeed, what goes around comes around.

To think that I, the Black Emperor, would one day be forced by a woman into saying something like "I beg you."

Where is my pride? Where is my integrity?

Leng Qiuge, you are ruthless!

When Leng Qiuge lifted her head, with almost no tears on her face, even with a look filled with a smug smile, Ye Xuan was heartbroken.

I’ve lost, I’ve lost; Leng Qiuge, you’ve won!

Seeing Ye Xuan’s nonplussed look, Leng Qiuge’s beautiful eyes squinted, her smile even more brilliant: "Ye Xuan, you said it, so since you sincerely begged me to go back, I will give you face. After all, a day married, a hundred days of grace, right? I’m just such a generous woman!"

Ye Xuan: "So should I thank you?"

"No need to." Leng Qiuge waved grandly: "I’m not that petty; you have pleaded with me nicely, and whatever dissatisfaction I had with you before, I have forgotten."

"Hearing you say that..." Ye Xuan sighed, "I better thank you."

This thanks needs to be said, or I won’t be at peace!

"You’re the one wanting to thank me, I didn’t force you."

Leng Qiuge laughed happily: "No need to be polite, no need, between you and me, who’s with whom? As your woman, it’s only right to be more generous when necessary!"

Ye Xuan wanted to laugh but couldn’t: "Qiuge, you’re really nice."

"Is it your first day knowing me?" Leng Qiuge waved her hand nonchalantly: "Who in the entire East Sea doesn’t know that I, Leng Qiuge, am famous for being reasonable."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Ye Xuan nodded repeatedly, cursing Leng Qiuge in his heart a thousand times over.

Despicable woman, today I’ll tolerate you, but the future is long, and if I get the chance, you’ll pay for it!

Leng Qiuge’s beautiful eyes spun, as if she suddenly thought of something, and her face turned worried again: "But to go back to the East Sea, you have to do one more thing for me."

Ye Xuan was stunned: "What is it?"

"Of course, it’s about Xiaotong." Leng Qiuge grumbled: "Today Xiaotong came to see me, and I didn’t treat her well. The mask has been put on, it’s too late to regret. If I go back with you tomorrow without an excuse, how embarrassing would that be?"

"What more excuse do you need?" Ye Xuan stared: "I’ve already asked you to go back, isn’t that reason enough?"

"You asking me is you asking me, but going back, I still have to live at your place, right? Without explaining to Xiaotong, what does your pleading matter?" Leng Qiuge said dissatisfied.

Ye Xuan was dumbfounded for a moment, then shocked: "You don’t mean you want her to beg you too, do you?"

"Of course not." Leng Qiuge hurriedly said: "You’re the one who left me guarding an empty house in Barcelona for so long, Xiaotong is completely innocent, how could I let her beg me?"

Ye Xuan felt ashamed: "Then what do you want?"

"Hmm... let me think."

Leng Qiuge pondered for a while and said: "Back then, when I left, one reason was to see how much you really loved me, another was I felt guilty towards Xiaotong. Now that I’m going back, the emotion of many years, I still feel guilty to some extent.

So, I need a reason to return to the East Sea, a reason where Xiaotong and I can go back to being as close as we were."

Ye Xuan rolled his eyes: "What kind of reason do you need?"

"This is up to you to figure out." Leng Qiuge pouted: "Use your intelligence, once hailed as Yan Country’s first genius, and come up with something before dawn."

Ye Xuan was dissatisfied: "You only said to do something for you, not to come up with a reason."

Leng Qiuge: "What I want you to do is to come up with a reason."

Ye Xuan: "..."

This girl is impossible to serve.

I thought some superficial pleading would settle the matter, but it turns out, in the end, I have to treat her like a deity, going all out before she’ll agree.

Leng Qiuge, enough is enough!

Ye Xuan was about to resist.

But just as he lifted his head, he saw Leng Qiuge put on a pitiful expression again, with tears in her eyes, enough to melt one’s heart.

Ye Xuan was truly out of options, and could only resign to his fate: "Alright, alright, I’ll think of it, I’ll help you come up with a reason, alright?"

"Darling husband, you’re the best!"

Leng Qiuge immediately broke into a smile, pouncing on Ye Xuan like a kitten, not giving the latter a chance to react before showering him with kisses.

Ye Xuan finally found an opening and wailed: "Leng Qiuge, what are you doing? Can’t you let someone think of a solution?"

"Aren’t I giving you inspiration?" Leng Qiuge giggled: "No worries, you do your thinking, I’ll play my game, just lie back and relax."

Ye Xuan: "..."

Bloody hell, how do you expect me to think of those devious tricks when you’re already making a move without my consent?

Leng Qiuge, after not seeing you for two months, you’ve grown quite bold!
