Darkness fell. Ye Mo had truly run out of patience. Just when he was picking a fight with the guards manning his room, Dongfang Ming finally showed up!
“Mr. Dongfang, there you are! Finally!” Ye Mo said, putting away his fury.
If the man came any later, Ye Mo would be trading blows with the guards!
“I’ve been held up. I’m so sorry to have kept you waiting,” Dongfang Ming said with his usual smile.
He had thought long and hard about it. Although he had taken a liking to Liu Duo, he would never steal someone else’s wife.
The woman had been feeling rather down lately. She could neither eat nor sleep well, with sadness constantly written on her face. She had lost weight in spite of her pregnancy, putting her in a pitiable state!
Dongfang Ming could not bear to see her suffer, so he decided to meet Ye Mo and return the man to her side.
“That’s alright. Come in and have a seat, Mr. Dongfang,” Ye Mo said dryly.
He had not been on his best behavior during the last few times they met. Yet, now that the man had saved him from Wang Xiangyun’s evil clutches, Ye Mo did not know how to face him. He could not even express his gratitude.
How awkward!
Dongfang Ming sensed his plight and took the initiative. “Brother Ye, why don’t you tell me who’s kept you locked up all this time?”
He did not mind Ye Mo’s previous attitude towards him. He was not that petty.
His question seemed to have triggered Ye Mo.
Unknowingly, Ye Mo raised his voice as he went on a rampage. “It was Wang Xiangyun! She’s the one who took me captive! A-And she almost assaulted me! If her servant hadn’t freed me, I don’t know how I’d live with dignity!”
Living with dignity, or a lack of it, was not the problem. What he really feared was how he would face his wife!
It was not something easy for Ye Mo to admit, but since Dongfang Ming’s men saved him, it would not hurt to tell the man.
Dongfang Ming was not too surprised to know this was Wang Xiangyun’s doing, but hearing that she even planned on assaulting him came as a shock!
How could she do such a thing?
Women were usually the ones who were assaulted. He never thought the tables could be turned.
Despite his astonishment, the expression on Dongfang Ming’s face did not change much.
His brows slightly furrowed, he said, “Do you know why she’d do that?”
Ye Mo, obviously enraged, did not give much thought as he blurted out, “Because of you, that’s why! The servant girl who released me said that bitch was jealous of you being too nice to my wife. She wants to see my wife in pain and misery. She wants to see her suffer. So she kidnapped me!”
Dongfang Ming’s face finally cracked as it began to show anger.
He never thought that he was the reason.
Could she ever love without taking her anger out on others?
He never expected Wang Xiangyun could turn into someone like that!
He got a grip on his emotions and said, “Brother Ye, let’s put this aside for now. You’ve been missing for a while now. I’ve assigned my men to search for you everywhere but to no avail, so I’ve allowed your brothers and your wife to stay in my second home in the meantime. It’s at a quiet location, unlike the inn facing the streets. Let me take you there now to reunite you with them.”
Wang Xiangyun had violated the law on grounds of kidnapping and imprisonment. Regardless of private or public matters, Dongfang Ming did not intend to be done with her so easily.
“Oh, thank you so much, Mr Dongfang! Thank you for taking great care of my family. I know I haven’t been very nice to you in the past, and I deeply hope you can overlook my mistakes,” Ye Mo replied. He would very much love to see his family right away.
