Chapter 796: Chapter 795 The Shameless Ones
Qin Yanyang, who was intently looking at the documents, furrowed her brows slightly upon hearing someone approaching, especially after hearing the word "wife," which caused a character for "river" to form on her forehead.
She appeared to be working very seriously, but in reality, her state of mind had already lost its usual calm and composure when she had Mo Yinpeng call Yang Fei over.
Many things aren’t as simple as one might imagine.
She once thought she had found a partner to spend her lifetime with, and after committing to him, she devoted herself completely to that relationship, which had once been passionately intense.
Latter on, when she discovered that he was a lowly man, she didn’t hesitate to sever the ties of affection with a swing of her sword, believing that having loved once in her life was enough and that she no longer needed love from then on.
Three days of confinement deeply wounded her heart, and in her despair, she attained enlightenment and stepped into the Divine Travel Realm.
She felt she was strong enough to let go of everything.
The series of events that happened afterward kept her extremely busy, and this busy yet fulfilling life meant she didn’t have the energy to think about matters between the two of them, which made her believe she had completely let go of Yang Fei.
But had she really let go?
No!
Qin Yanyang couldn’t deceive herself.
She found that whenever she had even a slight moment of leisure, the image of that unworthy man lingered in her mind, unshakable.
How could a person who took feelings seriously easily let go of real emotions they once had?
Regarding her own feelings, Qin Yanyang could boldly admit she couldn’t let go, but her personality allowed her to act in a way that had nothing to do with that damned man.
She couldn’t control her emotions.
But in terms of actions, she could do everything she intended, so she was determined to completely disconnect herself from that man.
She believed time was the best medicine in the world and could heal everything.
"Wife, are you still angry with me?"
Yang Fei called out "wife," but she didn’t look up, as if she hadn’t heard at all.
He strode over and sat in the chair opposite Qin Yanyang, supporting his chin with both hands and shamelessly staring intently at his own wife.
She was still so beautiful.
Although she had been very busy recently, she was, after all, now a strong figure who had stepped into the Divine Travel Realm and was young; even the intensive work lately couldn’t leave the slightest trace of fatigue or wear on her.
But compared to the wife he had known before, there were some changes.
Her face no longer held her usual bone-deep confidence with a smile.
She was still confident, even more so now with her current Cultivation Realm and her accomplishments and standing in the Divine Continent, she should be even more confident, radiating a more dazzling aura than before.
But Yang Fei couldn’t see the same light in her eyes as before.
That was a glow of complete confidence in everything.
Her eyes were still bright now, but the light within them was missing something.
Clearly, Qin Yanyang was at her peak in spirit, lively and spirited, her demeanor bold and vigorous, but for some reason, Yang Fei felt heartache.
He couldn’t help but reach out to grab her hand that was on the table.
Qin Yanyang, as if electrocuted, pulled her hand back before Yang Fei could even touch it.
Then, a sharp look fell upon Yang Fei’s face.
No harsh words were spoken, just a chilly look that let Yang Fei understand on his own.
"Why bother?"
Yang Fei naturally understood what Qin Yanyang’s cold gaze meant, but he chose to feign ignorance.
Mistakes were on his part, and when wrong, one must admit it and face the consequences upright.
But expecting him to let go, that was impossible.
Yang Fei sighed and said, "I know I was wrong, and I’ve also sincerely apologized to you. I’ve clearly explained things between me and Tong Yunshu to you. I believe this matter is forgivable."
Qin Yanyang originally didn’t plan to pay attention to him, but hearing his shameless and despicable words, her stable Dao Heart couldn’t help but suffer a tremendous shock, and her gaze became fierce as she stared at him, "You say you did nothing wrong?"
Yang Fei was overjoyed.
Although this look was intimidating, it didn’t scare me at all. I was only afraid that you wouldn’t speak or open your mouth.
"No, I was wrong, I really was, wife, it’s been so long, can’t you stop being angry with me?" Yang Fei said immediately.
Qin Yanyang looked at his expression and was suddenly a bit stunned.
Then she said, "How could I have never realized you were this kind of person before?"
Apparently, it was all an act.
Before, this guy seemed so pleasing to the eye.
The way he spoke, acted, and some habits were all to her liking.
That’s why she had gotten along with him for so long, experiencing many things together, and feelings had developed over time.
But why was the man she had observed herself for so long wearing such a thick disguise?
"What kind of person am I?" Yang Fei asked her.
"A man without backbone," Qin Yanyang thought for a moment and uttered a few words.
Yang Fei straightened his back and said, "I’m not pleased if you say that about me. I, Yang Fei, have backbone in everything I do, but in front of my wife, why do I need backbone? If I had backbone, I wouldn’t have a wife, would I?"
Qin Yanyang almost burst out laughing.
She really hadn’t noticed this man had such a shamelessly persistent side before.
Just as she was about to say something else, she suddenly glanced at the entrance of the tent.
Although the tent was of a high quality, it still had limited soundproofing. Plus, the members of the Military Department guarding outside were observant and sharp, not to mention loud voices, even whispers could easily be overheard.
She took a deep breath, and her emotions gradually calmed down.
"I didn’t ask you here to quarrel. Let’s talk business."
Yang Fei nodded, "Mhm, I came to work with you on official matters. Of course, in my opinion, keeping the wife happy is the number one priority, and if I can keep the wife happy and also help her resolve what needs to be resolved, then it’s perfect."
Qin Yanyang realized just how thick-skinned this guy was.
Thinking back to the time they had fallen out, in the villa, this guy had shamelessly kissed her, trying to use the domineering CEO tactic from idol dramas to tame the little heroine and subdue her, Qin Yanyang felt a bit amused yet strangely moved.
She couldn’t let him continue to muddle through.
If this guy really used force here, it wouldn’t be good if they started fighting.
Considering this, Qin Yanyang quickly changed the subject, "Grandpa mentioned that you had made an agreement with the Hidden Sect, to come out first and present a plan that satisfies the Hidden Sect, right?"
Yang Fei hurriedly nodded, "Yes, wife."
Qin Yanyang’s mouth twitched.
Seeing how this guy was acting like a stubborn pig who isn’t afraid of boiling water, taking a thick-skinned, relentless approach, she took a deep breath and brought up the real matter at hand, "We’ve already discussed the plan on our end, but it might be challenging to fully satisfy the Hidden Sect, so many details still need to be discussed in person."
Yang Fei’s gaze remained on Qin Yanyang’s face without moving away, and he nodded, "Yes, wife. Grandpa said before, he wanted me to accompany you there. I also think I should go with you. You know, it’s very dangerous there, and as a couple, we’re a perfect match, invincible together. Even if something unexpected happens, I would risk my life to ensure you return safely."
In Qin Yanyang’s mind, scenes surfaced of Yang Fei shielding her from Luo Yong when they were being pursued.
Memories also flashed of the time at Yunwu Mountain’s Base, when faced with Zhuge Cang’s Five Elements Thousand Mechanism Formation, Yang Fei had stood in front of her, allowing her to retreat first.
She knew she would never forget those moments for the rest of her life.
She believed even more that if there were a next time, and the time after that, no matter how many times, whenever there was danger, this man would definitely stand in front of her without hesitation.
To her, this man was truly sincere.
But was he just pretending with Tong Yunshu?
Hmph, does Qin Yanyang not deserve to receive a wholehearted love?
