You Cannot Afford To Offend My Woman

Chapter 1371 (Seemingly Eased)

The swift change in Ye Huaʼs mood left Qian Yuqing dumbfounded. It was sunny just a moment ago, and now there was a sudden thunderstorm—faster than a womanʼs change of mind.

She had just played the zither for him, trying to make him happy. After all, she deserved some face. However, he got angry, saying he didnʼt want her to worry. ‘You don’t want me to be worried? I wasn’t worried anyway!’

Qian Yuqing snorted, picked up Ye Huaʼs teacup, and drained it in one gulp. It felt like she was drinking alcohol instead of tea.

It was what they commonly called giving water the airs of wine.

”Whatʼs going on? Drinking tea as if it were wine in broad daylight?” Qing Yutong walked over with a smile, obviously teasing.

Qian Yuqing sighed, ”You saw it just now; donʼt come here to mock me.”

Qing Yutong sat down gracefully, poured herself a cup of tea, and smiled, ”How can this be considered mocking? Itʼs more like consolation. My brother-in-lawʼs temper is like the weather—smiling one second, and the next, he could have a stern face towards you.”

”He wasnʼt like this before; he always had a poker face.” Qian Yuqing whispered, revealing she had played a lot of poker in her time.

”Thatʼs just how he is. Donʼt take it to heart. I wonʼt accompany you in feeling sad. It seems like something is going on.” Qing Yutong chuckled softly, quickly leaving the Imperial Garden. If there was trouble, how could she exclude herself from it?

Qian Yuqing helplessly covered her forehead. This wasnʼt what she had imagined.

She had envisioned a life full of love, bathing in the warmth of romance every day. However, reality was like the weather—unstable.

At this moment, Qing Yutong caught up with Ye Hua.

”Brother-in-law, wait for me~” Qing Yutong shouted with a coquettish tone, almost making Ye Huaʼs goosebumps pop up. Only Qing Yutong could pull off this kind of act; others simply couldnʼt.

‘Based on your coquettishness, I have to stop and ask whatʼs going on.’

”Whatʼs wrong?”

”Brother-in-law, wait for me. I canʼt catch up with you anymore.” Qing Yutong directly grabbed Ye Huaʼs arm and used her ultimate coquettish move again. This trick worked on any man.

Qing Yutong had taught her sister, but Qing Ya wasnʼt the kind to use such tactics. She was a dignified person; it was impossible for her to act coquettish towards Ye Hua.

”Speak normally!”

”Okay.”

”Brother-in-law, is there something you want me to do?” Qing Yutong fluttered her eyebrows, putting on an expression that clearly said, ”Brother-in-law, you know what I mean.”

Ye Hua looked at Qing Yutong, contemplating.

However, seeing Ye Hua looking at her so directly, Qing Yutong blushed a bit. Even though they were an old married couple, this sudden gaze was still a bit strange.

”Brother-in-law, what are you doing? Looking at your little sister-in-law with that kind of gaze.” Qing Yutong blushed and said with a shy expression, tucking her head and tiptoeing. There was an obvious suspicion of pretending to be cute.

Ye Hua couldnʼt help but say, ”Alright, youʼre not a little girl anymore, stop acting like one.”

”Brother-in-law, youʼre so annoying. I, Qing Yutong, am eternally eighteen years old every year,” Qing Yutong retorted, giving Ye Hua a disdainful look. If it werenʼt for finding a wife first, he might still be single.

Ye Hua smirked and continued walking.

”Alright, alright, canʼt I be mature?” Qing Yutong pouted.

”Yutong, thereʼs something I need you to do,” Ye Hua suddenly said.

Qing Yutong was surprised, saying earnestly, ”Brother-in-law, just give the order. Whether itʼs going up the knife mountain or down the oil pan, Qing Yutong wonʼt even blink.”

”Not that extreme. I just want you to play your part naturally.”

”Huh? Brother-in-law, what do you mean? Youʼre making me a bit confused.”

Ye Hua explained the situation, and upon hearing it, Qing Yutong felt it was not bad.

”Brother-in-law, are you saying that if they claim to be acting for the children, weʼll eliminate them all? But if they genuinely care about the children, we wonʼt hold it against them.”

Ye Hua nodded. This was the choice he gave them—life or death, let them decide.

”Let the children know about this. Iʼll handle the rest.”

”Oh? What about Sisterʼs side?”

”Iʼll take care of it.”

Hearing that Ye Hua was going to talk to her sister, Qing Yutong was naturally delighted.

”Brother-in-law, you go ahead. Iʼll go talk to the children first.”

”Go ahead.”

Watching Qing Yutong walk away with cheerful steps, Ye Huaʼs lips curved into a slight smile. After all these years, she hadnʼt changed a bit. It was her sister who had changed a lot, especially her temper.

Ye Hua went straight to Qing Ya and the othersʼ residence.

As soon as he entered, he heard laughter and joy. Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi were laughing so happily.

But when Ye Hua appeared, the two women instantly fell silent, even putting on serious faces.

Their ability to change their expressions was as fast as Ye Huaʼs.

Ye Hua didnʼt want to linger with them too much. He sat opposite the two.

If it were in the past, he would have sat between Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi, embracing one in each arm.

But now, it seemed more like a negotiation.

The three sat quietly, and Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi didnʼt ask anything.

Ye Hua wanted to see if these two women would take the initiative.

After waiting for a while and seeing no movement, he decided to break the silence.

”What do you think about the matter with Ye Yan and Ye Shen?” Ye Hua took the initiative to bring up the topic.

Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi felt a slight joy as if they had won this silent confrontation.

However, Ye Hua overlooked a fatal issue—why were they making such a fuss? Ultimately, it was because they had too much free time. Besides causing trouble, they didnʼt have any other daily activities. So, it was essential to keep women busy, involving them in activities to divert their attention. Otherwise, they would spend every day discussing trivial matters.

Nevertheless, with Ye Hua taking the initiative, Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi didnʼt want to push too hard unless they genuinely considered divorce.

”What do you think?” Qing Ya threw the question back at Ye Hua. It wasnʼt a challenge; it was more like saying, ”You are the head of the family, and your opinion matters.”

Ye Hua felt a bit relieved. In marital matters, compromise from both sides opens up possibilities. Of course, this also depends on personality traits; some couples prefer confrontation, wanting to prove their dominance, and end up alone.

”As long as Ye Yan and Ye Shen both like it, I am in favour. The two girls, Chu Yu and Liu Xian, are also good. As long as the children are happy, thatʼs what matters.” Ye Hua had long sorted out his thoughts on this matter. He decided not to get involved, and as long as the children were happy, it was good enough for him.

Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi naturally didnʼt oppose Ye Huaʼs opinion. After all, the children seemed to be on their way to starting their own families, and there was no reason to object.
