Chapter 963: Chapter 638: Such a Man is Just Right for You (Part 2)

It looks like she’s in for a tough battle ahead.

At this moment, Ye Xiwen had no idea that her comrades were inching closer to her side, and she had never been alone.

Lifting her delicate and beautiful face slightly, the curve of her lips gradually tightened. With each step, Ye Xiwen moved closer to the inside, unapologetically shattering the so-called warmth that existed there.

The atmosphere, which had been filled with laughter, suddenly stiffened for a moment when they saw Ye Xiwen approaching. It was a feeling of strangeness.

Ye Xiwen walked up to Ye Jianfeng with calm eyes that held not a single ripple and looked at him, "Father." The way she called out ’Father’ was exceedingly cold, making Ye Jianfeng frown deeply.

Looking at Ye Xiwen, Ye Jianfeng felt as if he could barely remember what his eldest daughter looked like after not seeing her for four years. He felt only strangeness when looking at the daughter standing before him.

"Sister, you’ve finally come back. I really missed you," Ye Xirou stood up, intending to approach Ye Xiwen.

However, Ye Xiwen just smiled coldly and made a remark that could truly infuriate someone, "Not dead yet, truly disappointing for you all, isn’t it?" Ye Xirou’s face immediately froze, and she turned her head to look at Ye Jianfeng, a full face of grievance, "Daddy." Her face looked like she was about to cry, "Sister..." It was a pitiful sight.

"Ye Xiwen, do you talk to your sister like that?" Ye Jianfeng slammed the sofa heavily, panting with anger, "You walk in the door and don’t even greet your mother and sister. Four years outside, and what, you think you’re so great now, ready to abandon this home?"

Home! Does she have one?

Hearing this, Ye Xiwen’s lips twitched into an extremely mocking smile, as she stared at Ye Jianfeng, "My mother, as I remember, is already below the yellow earth. Has she... been reincarnated or something?" She glanced at Ye Xirou’s mother, Gao Hongqin, "Only, she doesn’t look quite the same. My mother was much prettier."

"Father, I learned today how deeply infatuated you were with my mother," Ye Xiwen’s last short sentence left Ye Jianfeng somewhat unable to respond.

That same indifferent statement nearly made Gao Hongqin furious.

Her words implied that Ye Jianfeng married her because she resembled his dearly departed wife. What an international joke.

However, she did discover that on this return, Ye Xiwen had indeed become much more sharp-tongued.

She heard Ye Xiwen ran off to the military because she had nowhere else to go and suffered there. Tsk tsk tsk... truly pitiable.

Yet, when she later met Mu Lin and the other comrades who came from the military to S City to find Ye Xiwen, she was incredibly disgusted and consumed with jealousy.

Especially since Mu Lin and his party’s identities were all not ones they could afford to offend. At that time, her face was...

Of course, these are all things to be discussed later, and need not be elaborated on for now.

"Sister, after so long, can you still not forgive me?" Ye Xirou looked at Ye Xiwen with a pitiable expression that seemed to beg for sympathy, but the words she uttered... "I didn’t mean to compete with you for Xia Jun." Were just as infuriating.

Xia Jun, full name Bai Xiajun, was a godson Ye Jianfeng had recognized more than a decade ago; after all, some people are just not fated to have sons.

He was, originally, Ye Xiwen’s—lover, they could be considered as having been together anyway, except that it didn’t last many days before the woman in front of her snatched him away, and just like that, took him to bed.

And as fate would have it, it was Ye Xiwen who caught them red-handed.

Such a clichéd plot twist, Ye Xiwen reflected, at the time she could not believe she was heartbroken over a man who so easily jumped into another woman’s bed; she really was a fool.

Thinking back, Ye Xiwen looked at her with a light laugh, "No, I should actually thank you. Such a man suits you perfectly." The words made someone grind their teeth in anger.

At this moment, standing outside the Main Gate, that statement fell clearly into the ears of the man who had just rushed back. His face, originally excited, became instantly pained, carrying endless regret.

Ye Xiwen continued to speak calmly to Ye Jianfeng, "I’ve been training all morning and had no time to rest before father’s call summoned me back. I’m truly tired now, and I imagine I must be quite useful to you, Father. I don’t think you would want to wear me out."

Therefore, "Father, I’m going upstairs to rest. Before dinner, I hope no one comes to disturb me," lest it affects the price I’m sold for.

Having said that, she took a step back, nodded slightly to the group of people in front of her, and then turned around.

When she saw the man who stood frozen at the Main Gate, she gave him such a casual glance before turning to go upstairs.

She hadn’t expected to see him so soon.

Yet, Ye Xiwen found that her heart was now as calm as it could possibly be regarding the man not far away.

She couldn’t understand why she once had feelings for him.

But fortunately, she came to her senses early enough.

Watching Ye Xiwen’s indifferent back, Bai Xiajun’s face showed a trace of self-mockery; yes, after how he had treated her, could he still expect her to treat him the same as before? That smiling face would no longer bloom for him.

Bai Xiajun was utterly oblivious to his fiancee’s cold figure and the clenched fists that spoke volumes of grinding teeth at this moment.

Ye Xiwen, she had just returned and was already seducing her Xia Jun? Unforgivable.

Upstairs, Ye Xiwen threw herself onto the bed, closing her eyes tightly; at this moment, she felt a pervasive coldness throughout her body, even her heart seemed to be growing colder.

Mu Lin, Qiaoqiao, Little Xiazi, and everyone else.

I feel like I miss you all already, just having come back. I wonder if I’ll ever get the chance to return to your side in this lifetime.

Ye Xiwen had even thought that dying on the battlefield would have been a thousand times better than returning to this cold home.

At the same time, Mu Lin and the others had already set off, and by now, they were at the airport.
