Elite Doting Marriage: Crafty Husband, Aloof Cute Wife
chapter-1406

Su Yue pulled the four edges of the cushion to smoothen it before putting it aside.

Bai Jing momentarily became awkward, and she stole a furtive glance at the cushion. She realized that the picture of the man was really Yan Rusheng.

Her gaze landed on Su Yue and hatred gleamed in her eyes. But she faked an apologetic smile and stammered, “Sorry… I… I didn’t know.”

Su Yue was so protective and uptight over a cushion. If Su Yue knew that she had fallen in love with her third brother, wouldn’t she fall out with her?

Bai Jing was still quietly seething with fury when Yan Rusheng’s voice disrupted her thoughts. “Give me the cushion.”

He stretched his hand towards Su Yue.

“Okay.” Su Yue grabbed the cushion and passed it to Yan Rusheng.

Yan Rusheng received the cushion and put it gently on his lap. He lovingly gazed at it with a tender smile.

Bai Jing quietly observed him and his smile completely melted her.

What should she do?

She was getting greedy and yearning for more. Even though she knew that this was going nowhere, she couldn’t help but succumb to her desires.

…

The luxurious and grand mansion was brightly lit. They decorated the whole place with majestic-looking furniture and ornaments.

Ming Ansheng didn’t remove his shoes and marched stiffly towards the sofa. With anger coursing through him, he glared at Ming Zhongsheng who was watching the TV.

The rest of the family members were all startled with Ming Ansheng’s glare.

Only Ming Zhongsheng seemed unruffled, for he had predicted that he would confront him.

“What do you want?” Ming Ansheng bellowed at Ming Zhongsheng.

Ming Zhongsheng loudly sneered and hissed, “Weren’t you always clear regarding what I want?”

“This time around, I will never give in to you,” Ming Ansheng said in an unyielding tone.

Ming Zhongsheng replied stiffly, “Ming Ansheng, you have to break up with that illegitimate daughter from the Yan family.”

When Ming Ansheng heard his grandfather labeling Su Yue as an illegitimate daughter, he coldly retorted, “Her name is Su Yue.”

He sounded more like he was warning his grandfather instead of correcting him. He angrily clenched his hands.

He had frightened both his brother and sister-in-law, and no one dared to speak up.

Ming Ansheng continued coldly. “Grandfather, if you continue to harass her, I’m not sure what else I would do to further disappoint you.”

Ming Zhongsheng frowned and yelled, “Is this a threat?!”

Ming Ansheng nodded and bluntly replied, “Yes, I’m threatening you.”

“Ming Ansheng, you can’t decide regarding this matter.” Ming Zhongsheng stood up and he was equally intimidating. “Even if you don’t want to break up, it still depends on her willpower and determination.”

He stomped in a huff towards the staircase.

“Then I’ll wait for you to act.” Ming Ansheng turned around and stomped towards the door.

They headed in opposite directions, and both were equally obstinate.

Ming Zhongsheng’s words made Ming Ansheng a bit uneasy. ‘It still depends on her willpower and determination…’

He couldn’t figure out what his grandfather would do next. When Meiduo broke up with him years ago, until now, he couldn’t fathom the reason.

He only knew that his grandfather had given Meiduo a blank cheque to humiliate her.

But he knew that wasn’t the real reason. Meiduo grew up in a harsh environment, and she was a tenacious and strong woman. A mere few words won’t trample her pride that easily.
