My Wife, The Ice Queen President

An hour later, Tang Ning returned to Yang Xinyi’s office with tears streaming down her face as she gripped her behind. She spilled the beans on Ye Xiong’s sins in an exaggerated manner.

“Can’t you manage your husband properly?” Tang Ning sobbed.

‘How can I? That rascal’s like a stubborn wild horse. Nothing can hold him back.’

Furthermore, her marriage with Ye Xiong was only a fake one. Neither of them actually had the power to manage one another.

However, there was no way that Yang Xinyi would inform this lil brat about it. Yang Xinyi dared not tell anyone except for Xiao Fangfang about her secret, as if her father caught wind of it, it would spell trouble.

“Just ignore that madman. I’ll just transfer the money back to you.” Yang Xinyi was left with no other choice but to deal with the circumstances.

Only after Yang Xinyi had transferred over the eighty thousand bucks to Tang Ning’s account did Tang Ning finally rejoice. With that, she happily hopped out of the office.

Yang Xinyi was just about to immerse herself back into work when suddenly, her phone rang. When she held it up, she noticed that it had come from home.

“Father, you’re back?” Yang Xinyi asked plainly.

Ever since Yang Xinyi had slapped He Haodong’s face and fled the scene of the marriage, her relationship with her father had become strained. After all, with Yang Xinyi’s personality, she refused to reveal that He Haodong had been fornicating with another woman on the night of her marriage to her father, as it would humiliate her. As such, her father had been wrongly pinning the blame on her all this time.

Worse still, his daughter had stolen his family register (TN: A family register is a civil registry used in many countries to track information of a genealogical or family-centric legal interest.) and married a construction worker, which had caused him to be even angrier. At present, the relationship between the two was nearing a state similar to water and fire.

“Did Tang Ning run off to your place?” Yang Dingguo asked in a rude tone.

“Indeed, she’s at my office,” Yang Xinyi answered.

“Your aunt and uncle have arrived at Jiangnan City. Take that punk out for dinner, as your aunt and uncle are interested in meeting up with him. Tell him to tidy himself up. Don’t humiliate me.” With that, Yang Dingguo slammed down his phone, hanging up the call.

Naturally, the punk that Yang Dingguo was referring to was her husband. From the way that her father addressed him, it was clear how much he despised that son-in-law of his.

Yang Xinyi stared at the phone with a blank expression as she heaved a long sigh.

She had never expected her relationship with her father to be as messed up as it currently was. All she hoped now was for her aunt to put in a good word for her tonight, as her aunt had always doted on her.

Yang Xinyi was prepared to dial Ye Xiong’s phone, but she soon remembered that he did not have his phone on him. Due to this, she could not contact him at such short notice.

Left with no other option, she was forced to look up Feiyang International Hotel’s phone number to give them a call.

Unexpectedly, even after making several phone calls, none of the receptionists were able to answer where Ye Xiong had gone to.

As such, Yang Xinyi had to drive her car all the way to Feiyang International Hotel to look for Ye Xiong.

Once she entered Feiyang International, however, somebody suddenly approached her. He graciously stated, “President Yang, it really is you! What can we help you with?”

As the Lobby Manager, Wang Tong was constantly present in the lobby. As such, he had immediately greeted Yang Xinyi the moment he saw her.

He was well aware of Yang Xinyi’s stature. Her presence here could be considered great advertisement for the hotel.

“And you are?”

“My name’s Wang Tong. I’m Ye Xiong’s friend,” Wang Tong hurriedly introduced himself.

“I have urgent business with him. Can you help me look for him?”

“Why can’t you call him up?” Wang Tong asked in puzzlement.

“He left his phone at home,” Yang Xinyi explained.

“Hold on, I’ll go and fetch him.”

With that, Wang Tong hastily looked for Ye Xiong.

However, even after he had searched throughout the entire hotel, he still found no trace of Ye Xiong, and this made Wang Tong extremely worried.

Back in the past, he had placed Yang Xinyi as the highest-ranking idol in his heart. However, back then, forget assisting her with something, even talking with her would prove difficult. Nevertheless, he was now blessed with the opportunity to assist her. Alas, in such a desperate time, he was unable to locate Ye Xiong.

‘Could he be in President Du’s office?’

Operating with this thought in mind, he knocked on the door to Du Yuehua’s office.

“Come in.”

“Is there a problem, Wang Tong?” Du Yuehua asked curiously as she noticed Wang Tong being soaked in sweat.

“President Du, do you know where Brother Xiong is?”

“Can’t you just give him a call?”

“Brother Xiong left his phone at home, and now, his wife is looking for him. It could be something urgent,” Wang Tong hurriedly explained.

Du Yuehua shuddered. She asked emotionally, “Ye Xiong’s married?”

“Indeed, he’s married. Hasn’t he ever told you?”

“Erm, maybe he did. I wasn’t paying attention,” Du Yuehua spouted a blatant lie.

“I’ll continue looking for him, then.”

Once Wang Tong had left, Du Yuehua sat on her chair with an empty expression. A moment later, tears began to drip from her eyes.

She never would have imagined that Ye Xiong was already a married man.

‘If he’s already married, then why is he always flirting with me?’ Just as Du Yuehua was beginning to fall for him, she was suddenly dealt with a huge, crushing shock.

She thought back on her interactions with Ye Xiong throughout these few weeks. His carefree attitude, his awesomeness, they were already ingrained within her heart. While he was always angering her, she still had to admit that ever since he had entered her life, her personality had changed quite a lot.

She now had a positive outlook on life, and she was working harder than before. His presence had served as a major driving force in her life, and all of these changes had only occurred because he was present.

Furthermore, she was even prepared to give herself to him one day, but now, his marriage was made known to her.

A rush of humiliation began to surge from within her heart as Du Yuehua felt as if she had been cheated on.

Ye Xiong’s overbearing presence within her heart was now beginning to crumble.

“Damn, that was a nice nap!”

Ye Xiong stretched his hands and pushed open the door to the office. However, all he saw was Du Yuehua lying limply on her chair. It was as if she had not seen him enter the room, which Ye Xiong found extremely odd, as it was totally different from normal.

“Sister Hua, who angered you?”

Du Yuehua sniffled her nose and her eyes began to redden as she scolded, “Who gave you permission to enter without knocking? Get out!”

Earlier, just before Ye Xiong had found a room to sleep in, he had been conversing with Du Yuehua in her office. Her mood was pretty good back then, but now, she was in such a state after he had woken up.

“Sister Hua, did someone bully you? Just give me the word and I’ll cripple them.” Ye Xiong was starting to get mad.

After all this time he spent in the hotel, he had already considered Du Yuehua as his woman, as such, seeing her being bullied had instantly unleashed his rage.

Nevertheless, he had dealt more harm than good, as once he spoke the words, Du Yuehua’s tears finally broke loose.

She stood up, pushed him out of the office and slammed it shut.

“Sister Hua! Sister Hua!”

Ye Xiong constantly banged the door, but no matter how much he hit it, Du Yuehua still did not open it.

Anxious, Ye Xiong rushed downstairs to find out if anyone had an inkling of what had occurred.

“Brother Xiong, I’ve been looking for you all day! Where have you been?” Wang Tong finally encountered Ye Xiong.

“Let me ask you a question, did something happen to Sister Hua?” Ye Xiong asked anxiously.

“She was fine when I met her earlier.” With that said, Wang Tong then pointed to a figure at a distance and said with a smile, “Why don’t you hurry up and head there, boss? Your wife’s been waiting for you.”

Ye Xiong immediately shot his gaze at the seat in front of him. He then spotted Yang Xinyi sitting there with a grumpy look on her face.

After all, anyone would be mad if they had been stuck waiting for two hours.

“Wang Tong, did you tell Sister Hua that my wife’s been looking for me?” Ye Xiong asked.

“Yeah!” Seeing how distressed Ye Xiong looked, however, Wang Tong then timidly asked, “Brother Xiong, was I wrong to say so?”

“It’s no problem! Just go back to work!” Ye Xiong waved his hand and sent him away.

While his marriage was indeed a fake one, Wang Tong had no clue about it. Not to mention, he was also oblivious to Ye Xiong’s relationship with Du Yuehua. As such, he should not be blamed.

If anyone was to be blamed, however, it would be Ye Xiong himself, as he had never clarified it with Sister Hua.

“Speak, fast.” Ye Xiong sat in front of Yang Xinyi and rudely uttered.
