Chapter 80: Reckless Woman

She hung the clothes back on the rack and moved to pull Ye Xuan away without so much as a second glance at the woman. When dealing with someone deliberately looking for trouble, it was best to simply ignore them.

"Oh my, is this the man you stole from Lin Aoxue? He is quite handsome," the woman taunted. "I just wonder how he is in bed. Yang Bingyu, if you don’t mind, how about lending him to me for a few days?"

Seeing that Yang Bingyu was ignoring her, the woman became increasingly Yangyang and smug. She even reached out and grabbed Ye Xuan. Her restless hands clung to his shoulders as she continued spouting highly explicit remarks.

The overwhelming stench of the woman’s perfume made Ye Xuan feel nauseous. Just as he was about to push her away, Yang Bingyu suddenly snapped. She grabbed the woman by the hair and forcefully dragged her away from Ye Xuan.

"Yuan Shanshan, I am warning you, do not provoke me again!" Yang Bingyu shouted. "You can say whatever you want about me, but you don’t get to talk about him.

"Ye Xuan is not a piece of merchandise! If you want to act like a slut, do it somewhere else. Don’t come flirting around here.

"If you dare touch my man one more time, I’ll cripple you!"

As she spoke, Yang Bingyu delivered several hard slaps directly across Yuan Shanshan’s face. The harsh blows left Yuan Shanshan seeing stars and completely dizzy. Her heavy makeup was completely ruined, leaving her looking utterly ridiculous.

"AH! Yang Bingyu! I’m going to kill you!" Yuan Shanshan’s piercing scream echoed through nearly the entire mall. She flailed her arms wildly, her sharp nails scratching Yang Bingyu’s arms several times in the chaos.

Ye Xuan stared at the angry red marks left behind, his gaze turning icy.

"Scram!" he roared. He grabbed Yuan Shanshan by the back of her collar and tossed her completely through the air. His domineering words and decisive action left Yang Bingyu momentarily stunned.

"You’re hurt," he noted. Looking at the bleeding scratches on Yang Bingyu’s delicate, fair skin, Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed into a tight knot. Though the wounds weren’t deep, they looked especially glaring against her pristine complexion. If it weren’t for his strict rule against hitting women, this Yuan Shanshan would have died a hundred times over by now.

"It’s fine. It’s nothing serious," she replied. Seeing how anxious Ye Xuan was over her, a sweet feeling blossomed in Yang Bingyu’s heart.

"Let’s go. We’ll head back so I can treat your wounds." Even though Yang Bingyu claimed it was fine, Ye Xuan still grabbed her hand and led her out of the mall. Yang Bingyu followed closely by his side in silence, perfectly content to let him lead her. She suddenly wished Ye Xuan could hold her hand like this for the rest of her life, hoping they would never reach the end of this road.

Unfortunately, beautiful moments were always destined to be ruined. Yuan Shanshan, her face twisted in a ferocious scowl, blocked their path once more, completely unyielding.

"I don’t hit women. You’d better get lost on your own," Ye Xuan said ruthlessly, glaring coldly at Yuan Shanshan.

"Just you wait! My husband will be here any second. Once he arrives, neither of you will be leaving!" Ye Xuan’s gaze sent a wave of panic through Yuan Shanshan’s heart, but she stubbornly stood her ground and issued her threat anyway.

PFFT!

Hearing Yuan Shanshan’s words, Yang Bingyu burst out laughing. "Husband? You’re clearly just a kept escort. Yuan Shanshan, could you have a little shame?"

Yang Bingyu’s words made Yuan Shanshan’s already ugly expression turn even more hideous. She trembled all over with rage.

"Yang Bingyu! You aren’t any better than me! You’re just a fake, what right do you have to judge me? Even your man..."

Yuan Shanshan wanted to keep hurling insults, but a single glare from Ye Xuan terrified her into silence. She thought, "This man is terrifying!" It was the only thought running through her mind.

"Heh, Yuan Shanshan, I’m not being arrogant, but even if your sugar daddy shows up, he won’t dare lay a finger on either of us today. In fact, he’ll have to apologize to us. Do you believe me?" Yang Bingyu said, crossing her arms with a look of pure disdain.

"Hah, what a joke. Do you even know who my man is? How dare you talk so big." Yuan Shanshan sneered at the claim, acting as if she had just heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

"Just tell me if you dare to make a bet," Yang Bingyu challenged, raising an eyebrow.

Seeing her high-and-mighty attitude made Yuan Shanshan’s blood boil. Unwilling to show weakness, she fired back, "Fine, let’s bet! Who’s afraid of you!"

Seeing that she took the bait, a victorious smile crept onto Yang Bingyu’s lips. "Alright. If you lose, you have to kowtow, apologize, and yell ’I was wrong, Grandma’ three times. What do you say? Still dare to bet?"

A woman like Yuan Shanshan simply couldn’t handle being provoked. The more you egged her on, the more she refused to back down.

"Fine, it’s a bet! But what if you lose?"

"I won’t lose." Yang Bingyu lifted her chin triumphantly, flashing a thoroughly smug smile. Her arrogant display infuriated Yuan Shanshan. Stomping her foot fiercely, she pulled out her phone and started making a call.

"Why are you so certain her sugar daddy won’t make things difficult for us when he gets here?" Ye Xuan asked curiously while Yuan Shanshan was busy on the phone.

"Call White Snake in, and you’ll find out soon enough," Yang Bingyu replied, deliberately keeping him in suspense rather than revealing her plan outright.

"You little brat, learning how to keep secrets now, are you?" Seeing that she refused to tell him, Ye Xuan let it drop. He chuckled and gently ruffled her hair.

"Just you wait! My husband is almost here!" Yuan Shanshan barked, having just finished her call. She shot Yang Bingyu and Ye Xuan a gloating look, acting as proud as a peacock displaying its feathers.

About five minutes later, a massive crowd of men suddenly flooded through the mall entrance.

Yuan Shanshan’s eyes lit up the moment she spotted them. She quickly adjusted her appearance in a nearby full-length mirror before trotting eagerly over to the group.

"Hubby~ Why did it take you so long? Look at how they beat me! It hurts so much, you have to help me get revenge~"

Yuan Shanshan threw herself like a boneless noodle against a burly, short, and fat middle-aged man. The moment the man saw her, his hands began to wander. He openly felt her up while declaring in a sleazy tone, "Who dares to hit my baby? I’ll kill him!

"Baby, tell me who bullied you. I’ll take care of them for you today!"

Right out in public, Yuan Shanshan showed no shame whatsoever. In fact, she willingly pressed her body even closer against his. "Mhm~ It’s that fake from the Yang Family and her stolen gigolo. They even said earlier that if you came, you’d have to be the one apologizing to them."

Hearing this, the man instantly bellowed at the top of his lungs. "Motherf*cker! I’d like to see how those two little bastards plan on making me apologize! Brothers, get them! Give those unruly punks a proper greeting!"

At his command, his lackeys immediately riled up, waving their weapons and hollering as they prepared to charge.
