My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 295: Chapter 0294: Getting Angry (Part 1)_1
 

“Hello, my name is Yang Xinyi.” Yang Xinyi was quick to react, greeting politely.

“President Yang, I’ve heard much about you.” Yang Xiaoqiao replied. Fearing a misunderstanding, she quickly explained, “We ran into each other at the school gates, and Ah Xiong offered to give me a ride home since it was on his way.”

“It’s fine, it won’t take much time,” Yang Xinyi responded.

After getting into the car, Yang Xinyi sat in the front passenger seat and buckled her seatbelt.

The atmosphere in the car instantly became oppressive, and nobody spoke.

“Cousin, is your company still hiring? My senior just graduated and is struggling to find a good job. She’s considering working at your place,” Tang Ning suddenly said.

“Of course, Xiao Qiao is Ah Xiong’s friend. As long as she wants to, I can arrange a suitable position for her in the company,” Yang Xinyi said.

Since she was unclear about the relationship development between Ye Xiong and Yang Xiaoqiao, Yang Xinyi did not refuse.

To her, arranging a job was as simple as could be.

Besides, having Yang Xiaoqiao join the company would give her a clearer picture of Yang Xiaoqiao’s relationship with Ye Xiong.

“I’ve already said it’s not necessary. I can find a job on my own; I don’t need help from others.” Hearing Tang Ning once again use the job offer to mock her, Yang Xiaoqiao felt even worse inside.

Yang Xinyi, unaware of the situation, heard the change in Yang Xiaoqiao’s tone and dared not say anything more.

Xinyi Group wasn’t far from Yang Xiaoqiao’s home; it wasn’t long before the vehicle reached the dumpling shop.

“Xiao Qiao, we’re here,” Ye Xiong stopped the car.

“Thank you.”

Yang Xiaoqiao got out of the car and walked toward the dumpling shop.

As she walked away, Tang Ning kept watching her until she was out of sight, then said, “Cousin, that vixen has finally left.”

Ye Xiong, already brimming with pent-up anger, now erupted in fury.

When Yang Xiaoqiao had left, her figure seemed somewhat desolate and pitiable, which was already troubling him. Tang Ning’s words were akin to pouring gasoline on the fire.

“Who are you calling a vixen? Has she offended you in any way, that you need to belittle her like this? From the moment you got in the car, you’ve been going on about jobs non-stop. All you’re doing is trying to make her lose face. She’s already said no, yet you persist. I’ve been putting up with you for a while now, do you really want to make me angry?” Ye Xiong got out of the car, angrily shouting.

Tang Ning was startled; she had never seen her cousin-in-law so furious before.

Even Yang Xinyi was taken aback; she had always thought of Ye Xiong as easygoing. What happened today that he suddenly lost his temper?

Was it because of that woman?

With that thought, she voiced her displeasure, “Why are you shouting so loudly? Tang Ning was just speaking casually.”

“Was she just speaking casually? Her words were full of malice, secretly sending you messages, and I’ve never seen you leave work this early before. My relationship with Yang Xiaoqiao is absolutely nonexistent, and don’t you realize how your words could make people feel? They’ve made her feel like she’s the ‘other woman,’ having to accept your charity. If you were in her shoes, how would you feel?”

“I didn’t mean it that way, I only agreed to find her a job because I heard from Tang Ning that she was looking, and I wanted to help out of kindness,” Yang Xinyi protested.

Seeing her misunderstanding, Yang Xinyi suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, as though tears were about to fall.

“Do you really see me as that kind of person?” Yang Xinyi’s eyes grew moist.

“Go have dinner. I’ve lost my appetite.”

Ye Xiong slammed the car door shut, then walked towards the roadside, hailed a cab, and zoomed away.

Watching his retreating figure, Yang Xinyi’s eyes moistened, and tears began to flow.

In her memory, this was the first argument she had ever had with Ye Xiong; they had never fought like this before.

The car stopped at the roadside, and Yang Xinyi sat silently for a long time, saying nothing.

Tang Ning now realized she had caused trouble, and quickly said, “Cousin, I’m sorry, I didn’t think your husband would get so angry.”

Yang Xinyi wiped away her tears and said, “Tang Ning, tell me everything that happened just now, word for word. If you dare to lie to me and I find out, your cousin will ignore you forever.”

Oh!

Tang Ning weakly recounted the recent incident.

When Yang Xinyi heard that Yang Xiaoqiao had already refused twice and Tang Ning had brought up work for the third time, making Xiaoqiao feel embarrassed, she immediately understood why Ye Xiong had become so angry.

“Tang Ning, what am I going to do with you? Can’t you watch your words and spare people some dignity? Don’t you realize how damaging to someone’s self-esteem that is? It’s not just Yang Xiaoqiao; even I’m furious with you,” Yang Xinyi scolded.

“Cousin, I’ve caused trouble again,” Tang Ning said with a pained expression.

“It’s not just trouble; it’s a huge disaster.”

Yang Xinyi took a deep breath before speaking with frustration, “Your brother-in-law has done so much for you, saved you many times, given you money to spend, and taken you out. He has been good enough to you. Can’t you be considerate and stop making him angry all the time?”

Hearing this, Tang Ning started sobbing.

“I know my brother-in-law is good to me; he’s the best person in the world to me. I don’t want to make him angry, but I feel uncomfortable every time I see Yang Xiaoqiao talking to him. It’s obvious that he has feelings for that Yang Xiaoqiao, or he wouldn’t have yelled at me. I did it because I was afraid she would steal him from you; I was thinking of your best interest,” Tang Ning sobbed.

“This is a case of ‘the emperor isn’t worried while the eunuch is’—even if he is taken away, it should be my concern, not yours. Alright, now you’ve just made matters worse,” Yang Xinyi said angrily.

“Cousin, what should we do now? Should I call your husband and apologize?” Tang Ning asked quietly.

“No, don’t call. He is feeling guilty, and that’s why he lashed out. If he wasn’t feeling something for that Yang Xiaoqiao and didn’t care about her feelings, I wouldn’t believe he would have gotten so angry.”

At this thought, Yang Xinyi felt another pang of heartache.

In her previous life, she had no idea what sins she might have committed to have fallen in love with such a playboy.

She felt cursed.

She didn’t know what to do next.

Ye Xiong sat in the taxi, unable to shake the image of Yang Xiaoqiao’s sorrowful departure from his mind. It made him feel particularly uncomfortable.

She must be feeling heartbroken right now!

Undeniably, Ye Xiong had always had a soft spot for Yang Xiaoqiao.

She was the kind of striking beauty that could instantly capture a man’s gaze and linger in his memory.

There were many women who had touched Ye Xiong’s heart.

Yang Xinyi, Du Yuehua, Luo Weiwei, He Mengji, Phoenix—each had her unique charm that drew him in, inciting his desire to possess.

Compared to these women, Yang Xiaoqiao was far behind in abilities, intelligence, and character. Her one attribute was her beauty.

Nevertheless, that alone was enough…

With her stubbornness coupled with a pitiful demeanor, Yang Xiaoqiao easily moved Ye Xiong’s heart.

Undeniably, it was precisely this charm of hers that attracted him.

He had thought he could forget her, but he was mistaken. The image of her leaving had been haunting him ever since.

Even if labeled as fickle, he couldn’t care less because he indeed had feelings for this woman.

He couldn’t lie to his own heart.

“Driver, turn around and drop me off at the place where I got in,” Ye Xiong instructed the driver.
