Chapter 2008 - 2009: For You, I’ll Live a Few More Days

Chapter 2008: Chapter 2009: For You, I’ll Live a Few More Days

"That’s more like it."

Ye Xuan casually tossed aside the brick, not feeling pathetic in the slightest. He raised his head at a 36-degree angle and said, "Just now, I asked you to open the door for me, and there was no response. Now you want to open the door and let me come home? Hmph, beg me!"

"What? I have to beg you?"

Seeing Ye Xuan’s pathetic yet unbelievably proud demeanor, Lin Tong was momentarily stunned. For a second, she felt a blockage in her chest and almost couldn’t catch her breath.

This is going too far, isn’t it?

You said you were going out to save someone, but ended up flirting with some woman I don’t know, breaking your promise to me. It took you more than half a month to finally come home, yet you didn’t think of admitting your mistakes properly. Instead, you’re here acting like a rogue and threatening suicide.

Is this what the head of a family should do?

Fine, it’s your birthday today, so I’ll give you face. Go ahead and threaten; I’ll bear it for now and deal with it another day. Yet... I kindly opened the door for you, and you’re still not satisfied, throwing a tantrum here?

You’re absolutely unbearable!

The rage pent up in Lin Tong’s heart became uncontrollable instantaneously.

She stared coldly at Ye Xuan, gritting her teeth and said, "Ye Xuan, don’t go too far!"

"Too far? How am I going too far?" Ye Xuan pursed his lips and replied irritably, "And since when did you start calling me by my full name again? What happened to the husband-for-life vow? Lin Tong, you have broken your promise to me!"

"I..."

Lin Tong’s beautiful eyes widened, and she was speechless, feeling as if she might explode.

Oh my god!

Ye Xuan, could you be more shameless and ridiculous?

It’s just a form of address, how did I break my promise to you?

And what about your promise to behave properly and stop flirting around, where did that go? Who’s really breaking promises here?

Before Lin Tong could catch her breath.

Ye Xuan bent down again to pick up the brick he had just discarded, weighed it seriously for a moment, and then shook his head with a full face of melancholy, sighing: "Alas, for the sake of this family, I’ve fought hard out there, and now I’ve returned with scars, just wanting to have dinner with my family."

"Who would have thought that in just over half a month, I’d have to resort to suicidal threats just to have this door opened for me. You used to call me hubby, dear hubby, and now it’s Ye Xuan, cold, indifferent. What’s left for me to live for?"

"A man ends up like me, what face do I have left to live on? I’m ashamed of my parents; if they saw me living so humbly, they would surely feel heartache for me. I’m ashamed of my master; he taught me such skills hoping I’d become a dragon among men, but here I am, living like an insect among men. Maybe it’s better if I just die, yeah, just die."

After this heartfelt confession, Ye Xuan painfully closed his eyes, gripping the brick tightly, and even his Qigong started surreptitiously flowing.

This really seemed like a setup to beat himself to death!

Feeling this momentum, Lin Tong hurriedly became anxious.

Now that she was also halfway into the Qi Gong Realm, how could she not sense Ye Xuan’s surging deep Qigong?

Indeed, Lin Tong knew that mere bricks were not going to be lethal to Ye Xuan. Even the head wound could not exist if he didn’t want it to.

So Lin Tong hesitated to open the door. If the crowd hadn’t gathered so fiercely outside, she would have continued to hold her ground.

Who didn’t know Ye Xuan was putting on an act?

But now, with Ye Xuan even using Qigong, it seemed less like an act!

At this moment, right or wrong didn’t seem to matter as much.

Panicked, Lin Tong rushed forward and grabbed Ye Xuan’s restless big hand, anxiously saying, "Honey, don’t do this. Honey, I’m sorry, honey... I’m begging you to come home, please... is that okay?"

The saying goes, couples quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed.

After going through so many things, Ye Xuan’s habit of flirting around was not something new. Lin Tong couldn’t possibly get so angry that it was irreconcilable, right?

No matter how wrong Ye Xuan was, Lin Tong couldn’t bear to let Ye Xuan die.

If he really killed himself, how would she live the rest of her life?

Yet, after uttering these plainly submissive words, Lin Tong still felt incredibly wronged.

Clearly, it was Ye Xuan who was not behaving outside, yet in the end, she had to apologize and speak nicely.

Damn husband, you’re really bullying me!

Lin Tong mentally tugged at Ye Xuan a hundred times...

And as Ye Xuan heard Lin Tong’s sincere apology, he finally opened his tightly shut eyes. He once again tossed the brick away and slightly lifted one corner of his mouth, reluctantly sighing, "Alright, since you acknowledge your mistake too, I guess I’ve regained a little faith to continue living. I’ll give you face and live a few more days for you."

Lin Tong silently sighed with relief, repeatedly giving Ye Xuan a side-eye, yet didn’t dare to harbor more intense grievances.

Really spoiled him to this point, worse and worse!

Thinking back a year ago, how obedient and considerate was Ye Xuan to her? Now, looking at him... indeed, men really are no good!

Lin Tong sullenly said, "Let’s go home."

With a majestic turn, Lin Tong stepped back towards the villa, her posture proud and her aura icy, no longer showing any trace of earlier frailty.

It was a joke; how could Lin Tong possibly maintain such a submissive stance forever? If Leng Qiuge and others saw this, wouldn’t her dignity be utterly lost?

Ye Xuan naturally knew when to stop.

"Lisa, welcome to my home." Ye Xuan gestured invitingly to Lisa, who stood nearby, stunned.

Lisa snapped back to reality, struggling to laugh, simply nodded: "Oh, okay..."

Ye Xuan also stepped into the villa.

Lisa stayed close to Ye Xuan, occasionally glancing at him. Her crimson eyes were filled with an indescribable complexity.

Curiosity, frustration, doubt, and even, incredulity.

Shock.

Yes, at this moment, Lisa’s feelings could even be described as shock.

She never expected that this lone man, who could slaughter thousands from the vampire tribe and endure three deadly strikes from Odin without dying, could be so audaciously shameless when he wanted to be!

It’s too incredible.

How can there exist such a complex man in this world? Or is it... that all humans are as split-personality and bizarre as him?

Lisa was still unable to snap out of this shock.

Yet Ye Xuan, having sensed her gaze, cheerfully waved his hand, saying, "Lisa, there’s no need to admire me like this, these are just my usual tactics. My standing in the family is just insurmountably high, as you saw earlier. If my wife didn’t beg me, this family would lose me."

Lisa: "..."
