Chapter 105 Acting
The woman's name was Jiang Pingping. She walked up to Ye Jiuchen, gave a graceful bow, and said softly, "Pingping thanks you for saving my life, young master... cough cough..."
She looked up, her gaze falling on Ye Jiuchen, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes. Good heavens, this man was so incredibly handsome; he was practically the ideal man of her dreams.
Dongfang Wan'er noticed Jiang Pingping's gaze and chuckled inwardly. It seemed yet another woman had been captivated by Ye Jiuchen's unparalleled beauty. However, she had to admit that Ye Jiuchen was indeed incredibly handsome, making him irresistible.
"Young master, thank you so much for saving us!" Old Man Jiang said excitedly. He was deeply grateful and filled with respect for Ye Jiuchen. Ye Jiuchen nodded slightly, acknowledging his thanks.
"That guy is so shameless. We all rescued them together, and that woman was the same, staring at the young master the whole time..." Qiuqin muttered to An Ye.
An Ye frowned slightly upon hearing this, but said nothing. However, Ye Jiuchen heard Qiu Qin's words and a surge of joy welled up in his heart.
Ye Jiuchen noticed the woman's gaze, which revealed a peculiar emotion. He secretly pondered her thoughts but didn't show much reaction.
"It's nothing, I wasn't saving you," Ye Jiuchen replied coldly, then took Dongfang Wan'er's hand and prepared to leave. His voice was icy and firm, exuding an invisible authority.
Seeing this, Old Man Jiang hurriedly called out, "Young master, young master, please wait! To thank you for saving my life, please come into my house and have a seat..." His tone was sincere and warm, hoping to invite Ye Jiuchen to his home as a guest.
Ye Jiuchen stopped and looked back at Old Man Jiang.
“Alright…” Ye Jiuchen nodded, agreeing to the other party’s request. Then, he and Dongfang Wan’er boarded the carriage together.
Old Man Jiang was overjoyed, his face beaming with happiness.
Jiang Pingping was even more excited, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. She naturally understood the close relationship between Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen, but that didn't dampen her joy. She believed she had a chance to get close to this mysterious and handsome man, and perhaps something surprising would happen.
Dongfang Wan'er boarded the carriage, a slight smile playing on her lips as she teased, "Oh, Ninth Prince, you seem to be in a good mood today. Someone invited you to their residence, and you agreed so readily. Oh dear~"
Looking at Dongfang Wan'er's sarcastic expression, Ye Jiuchen found it quite adorable. He couldn't help but smile, leaned closer, and whispered, "Wan'er, are you jealous?"
Dongfang Wan'er blushed slightly and hurriedly denied it, "What nonsense are you talking about..." She turned away, secretly wondering how this guy could see right through her. However, she would never admit that she was just a little unhappy.
Seeing Dongfang Wan'er's embarrassment, Ye Jiuchen stopped teasing her. He closed his eyes and leaned back in the carriage to rest.
Dongfang Wan'er was a little angry when she saw that Ye Jiuchen didn't come to coax her as usual. "Hmph, this guy is so inconsiderate." She secretly resolved to ignore Ye Jiuchen for the time being.
Just then, Old Man Jiang's voice came from outside the car: "We've arrived, we've arrived, young master, please get out of the car..."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Wan'er immediately stood up and quickly jumped off the carriage.
Ye Jiuchen didn't say much and got off the carriage as well.
"Ahem, may I ask your honorable name, sir? I cannot keep calling you 'sir' all this time..." Jiang Pingping looked at Ye Jiuchen with a shy expression, her voice so soft and sweet it could melt your heart.
Ye Jiuchen said expressionlessly, "My name is Chen Jiu, and this is my wife..." His tone was concise and clear, but his gaze never left Dongfang Wan'er.
"Ah, Young Master Chen, Madam Chen...please come in..." Jiang Pingping's mouth dropped open in surprise. She had thought the man and woman before her were merely lovers, but she hadn't expected them to be married. Looking at the lady's face, she was clearly angered by her actions earlier.
Dongfang Wan'er was startled. How dare Ye Jiuchen speak so recklessly! She gritted her teeth inwardly, her heart filled with resentment towards Ye Jiuchen.
“Madam, Madam? Let’s go…” Ye Jiuchen ignored Dongfang Wan’er’s anger and walked straight to her side, wanting to take her hand.
However, Dongfang Wan'er ruthlessly shook off his hand, and said with a cold smile, "Hehe, Young Master Chen, let's go in..." After saying that, she ignored Ye Jiuchen and followed Old Man Jiang into the mansion.
Seeing this, Qiuqin rushed forward to support her young mistress, fearing she might fall. Ye Jiuchen shook his head helplessly and hurried to catch up with Dongfang Wan'er.
“This… Miss Jiang, please don’t take offense. My wife is a bit lively…” Ye Jiuchen said, while giving Jiang Pingping an apologetic look. Then, he gave An Ye a suggestive look.
An Ye understood immediately, clutching his stomach and feigning pain: "Ouch, Miss Jiang, I have a bit of an upset stomach..." As he spoke, he quickly ran to the bushes nearby and squatted down.
Seeing this, Jiang Pingping asked with concern, "What's wrong with this gentleman? Should we see a doctor?"
Ye Jiuchen waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to trouble himself, and explained, "It's nothing, he just had an upset stomach, he'll be fine after he's had an upset stomach." Then, he quickly followed Dongfang Wan'er's steps.
"That Madam Chen has such a strange temper. Miss only exchanged a few words with Young Master Chen, and she started giving her attitude..."
"Cough cough cough, Xiao Cui, don't talk about Madam Chen behind her back..." Jiang Pingping scolded.
“It’s Miss…” Xiao Cui quickly shut her mouth and helped Jiang Pingping into the mansion.
"Madam, Madam, please don't be angry with your husband anymore..." Ye Jiuchen chased after him, saying with a wronged expression.
Dongfang Wan'er looked at Ye Jiuchen's appearance and chuckled inwardly. This guy really knows how to pretend! But since he wants to play along, she might as well play along.
"Young Master Chen, why don't you go and talk to Miss Jiang more..." Dongfang Wan'er pretended to be very angry, and then turned and left.
Jiang Pingping walked over and witnessed the scene. A surge of joy filled her; the two were arguing, giving her a chance to take advantage. So, she quickly walked to Ye Jiuchen's side and said sweetly, "Brother Chen, is Madam Chen angry? It's all my fault for making things difficult for you..."
Ye Jiuchen glanced at Jiang Pingping, secretly amused; this woman had indeed taken the bait. However, he maintained an innocent expression and said, "It's not your fault, it's all my fault."
