Chapter 666: Ye Shuhua Is the Mastermind Behind the Scenes

"Good, good, good. I'll listen to you."

Ten minutes was a bit short, but getting to play at all was better than nothing.

Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli hooked up the PSP to the LCD TV, then started playing through various little games.

"Haha, want me to go easy on you?" Before they started The King of Fighters, Jiang Muye winked at Leng Ruoli.

Leng Ruoli's little face was flushed pink, and she was just as competitive. "I might not need you to go easy on me before you've already lost."

"Wow, my Darling is actually starting to talk tough. Hahaha, with a soft, cute look like yours, talking tough doesn't suit you at all. The mismatch is way too strong."

Jiang Muye teased her with a laugh, and Leng Ruoli's little face turned red with embarrassment. "Alright, we can start now!"

The corners of Jiang Muye's mouth curled up involuntarily.

He sincerely felt his wife was too cute.

When he actually started playing with Leng Ruoli, Jiang Muye of course listened to her and didn't go easy.

As a result, within a few minutes he started KO'ing her.

Leng Ruoli's lips puckered angrily. "Again."

So they restarted again and again.

And naturally, Jiang Muye still won.

Jiang Muye looked at his Darling with a grin. "Still want to play?"

"Of course I want to play. I don't believe I'll keep losing!"

"But we've already been playing The King of Fighters for ten whole minutes. Who was it that said just ten minutes?" Jiang Muye said teasingly.

As a result, he saw Leng Ruoli's little face turn red with embarrassment.

She felt a bit embarrassed herself. "I… I want to play a little while, just a little while. Anyway, let me win once and then we'll stop."

"It's not like you can't win. Come on, plant a strawberry on your husband, and he'll grant your wish." Jiang Muye threw her a meaningful look.

Leng Ruoli's pretty face was completely steeped in a haze of heat. "I already said I don't need you to go easy on me. With my real skill, I'm not planting a strawberry for you."

"Oh, then let's go again."

His Darling really was stubborn and tsundere.

But that was what made it fun.

Jiang Muye held back his laughter and continued playing with her.

And the result was just as Jiang Muye expected.

Leng Ruoli lost again.

She was so angry she even wanted to smash the console—though of course she wasn't violent enough to actually throw anything.

But the look she gave Jiang Muye was a little pitiful.

Jiang Muye was about to soften.

She really was too pitiful.

"Give up?" Jiang Muye said with a smile. "Or planting a strawberry for me would be faster."

Leng Ruoli puckered her lips. "There's luck involved in this. My luck is bad."

"Hahaha, Darling, you really do love making excuses. It's clearly a matter of skill." Jiang Muye had been playing since he was a kid.

How could Leng Ruoli compare to him?

He admitted luck played some part, but in the face of skill, what did that little bit of luck count for?

"Again, again. I don't believe I'll still lose." Leng Ruoli was not discouraged at all. Instead, her gaming addiction kicked in, and she urged Jiang Muye to play another round.

Jiang Muye's mouth curved upward. Watching her look both embarrassed and annoyed, he felt she was just too cute.

So he started another round with her.

Leng Ruoli watched the TV screen with rapt attention, her hands moving nonstop.

After a while, Leng Ruoli said excitedly, "I won! I finally won!" But then she heard a stifled laugh.

She looked to the side and saw Jiang Muye laughing especially happily.

"What are you laughing at?" she asked, puzzled.

"I didn't even press the buttons. Isn't it only natural you won?"

Leng Ruoli finally understood. Jiang Muye had been going easy on her.

Her little face immediately burned to the extreme.

She leaned right over and pinched Jiang Muye's cheek. "Why are you so awful?"

Jiang Muye took the opportunity to fall backward onto the bed, then hooked his hand around her slender waist.

Pulled by Jiang Muye, she fell directly onto his chest.

"Hey, be careful. Don't hurt your wound. What if the stitches come open?" Leng Ruoli's little face was burning hot. She could feel Jiang Muye's pheromones and see his wicked handsome face so close, so of course she was shy.

But she was even more worried that Jiang Muye was injured, and her face was full of anxiety.

Watching Leng Ruoli's nervous look, Jiang Muye burst out laughing.

He reached out and gently stroked Leng Ruoli's cheek. "Little fool, you're so light. How could the stitches come open so easily? If I were in pain, could I still be talking to you so calmly?"

If not for avoiding suspicion, Jiang Muye would have long since fully healed himself through the System.

He wouldn't have needed to come to the hospital at all.

Just staying at home, he would have recovered.

"Does it really not hurt?" Leng Ruoli was still a little doubtful.

"Of course it doesn't hurt."

Jiang Muye kissed Leng Ruoli's red lips. "Would I lie to you?"

Leng Ruoli studied Jiang Muye's expression over and over, and only after confirming it really didn't hurt did she breathe a quiet breath of relief.

After playing games with Jiang Muye for a while longer, Leng Ruoli finally stopped.

Jiang Muye just held Leng Ruoli and lay there for a while, and even that felt interesting.

Of course, if not for a few Beast Roommates coming to visit him, he probably could have held his Darling a while longer.

The roommates all brought their girlfriends. After dropping off some fruit and snacks and exchanging a few pleasantries, they left.

Jiang Muye looked at the giant doll Little White Dove had given him and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "This Little White Dove, ever since getting back together with Little Junior Sheng Xinyi, has gotten so childish. He actually said he'd give me a doll to sleep with at night. I already have a Darling. What do I need this doll for?"

"This doll is pretty cute." Leng Ruoli picked up the doll and couldn't put it down.

"Cute? I think it's ugly enough to make me cry." Jiang Muye couldn't tell which cartoon character it was, but its eyes were wide like bronze bells, and it had a few tufts of hair sticking up on its head.

"It is cute. He gave it to you out of kindness."

"Yes, yes, yes. Darling, you're right. But tonight I'm not letting this doll sleep with me. It can't replace my Darling anyway. Darling promised me today that you'd sleep with me, right?"

Leng Ruoli looked at Jiang Muye's eager eyes, and her face immediately turned bright red. "Alright, I'll sleep with you, isn't that enough? Otherwise it'd make me look like I was deceiving you."

Jiang Muye was overjoyed. "Hehe, Darling, you're the best."

Sure enough, that night Jiang Muye kept his Darling.

With his wife in his arms, he slept all the way until dawn.

It was simply wonderful.

——

Ye Shuhua's case had been filed.

Along with it, the matter of Ye Shuhua's earlier poisoning was reinvestigated.

It turned out that Xiang Shan's steward had been threatened by Ye Shuhua. The steward had a daughter who worked at the company where Ye Shuhua was employed.

She had been caught by Ye Shuhua leaking commercial secrets, having acted as a mole planted in the company by a rival. That was a crime.

Especially since the steward's daughter had taken serious bribes, so after Ye Shuhua discovered it, she used it to threaten her. To keep his daughter from going to prison, to keep her from ruining the rest of her life over a moment of foolishness, the steward could only obey Ye Shuhua.
