CHAPTER 585
"There. This is the sole reason why I don't like arguing with you. You love making me say things and then you will go crying to my parents like they are the center of our marriage," he blurted out.
"I... So I am to blame for everything?" Han Yuri asked in a softer voice and tears in her eyes.
"Basically, yes. And I'm sick and tired of it. You don't want me to work a little overtime at the office even if there are tons of work to attend to," he began to list while counting on his fingers.
"You don't let me spend more than two hours with my friends. You are always calling to monitor my movements. You are always telling my parents about every little fight we have. And now you don't want me to see what's going on in the city?"
"This is a marriage not a boarding school for crying out loud, Yuri. I give you the freedom you want and yet you try to restrain me in here?" he rhetorically asked.
"It won't work that way, Yuri. So stop acting insecure like a child. It doesn't suit you or this marriage. Just stop," Fu Bolin concluded.
He took both his suit jacket and briefcase and walked out of the living. But halfway through, he stopped in his tracks.
"Oh and I advice you to keep your lips in check and not report to mum and dad. You may not like my behaviour as soon as I find out about it," he warned with his back facing her.
"You–"
"I will be in my study. Don't bother calling me for dinner. I have lost whatever little appetite I had," Fu Bolin said as he walked away.
Han Yuri slumped in the couch and sobbed. She buried her face in the palm of her hands as her shoulders shook.
"That wh*re is the cause of everything that is happening between me and Bolin. The next time I see her, I will make sure to give her a piece of my mind," she mumbled to herself.
"She should stop using different cunning ways to take my man away from me. I will not let her. Never. Bolin is mine."
With a new found mission and resolve, Han Yuri requested for a small meal to be sent to the room. Since Fu Bolin would not be having dinner, it will be of no use eating alone on the table.

By the time Ye Chaoxiang and the others arrived, it was almost close to dinner time. Ye Yumi and Ye Lee Ai were playing outside when they saw Ye Chaoxiang's car driving into the compound.
Ye Lee Ai was so excited. Since the previous day, she had not seen neither of her parents. So seeing both of them highlighting from the car made her happy.
"Mummy, daddy!" She exclaimed while pointing to them.
Ye Yumi turned to see and a smile bloomed on her face. She ran toward them with Ye Lee Ai following suit while giggling. While Yumi ran to her brother, Lee Ai ran to Ning Xiaozhi.
Ye Chaoxiang steadied himself quickly as soon as he saw them coming. He caught Ye Yumi perfectly and twirled her a few times.
"Brother Chaoxiang, I missed you so much," Ye said as she hugged him tight.
"Me too," he reciprocated and chuckled.
Ning Yi, Ning Li Qiang and Hao Yingjie gave Ning Xiaozhi a looked with their brows raised. Ning Xiaozhi who already had Ye Lee Ai in her arms chuckled.
"Don't overthink. This is just how she welcomes him home sometimes," she explained.
But it seemed as if that was not enough for the three cousins. After the Ye siblings finished exchanging pleasantries, their attentions moved away from each other.
"Xiaozhi, I missed you too," Ye Yumi hugged her.
"Likewise. I missed your jolliness."
"I can see that. You don't look too good. Why are your eyes swollen? Did you cry?" Ye Yumi became concerned in seeing Ning Xiaozhi's slightly swollen eyes.
"I–"
"Did brother Chaoxiang bully you?" Ye Yumi asked again cutting her off.
"You know I would never do that,Yumi," Ye Chaoxiang countered immediately.
"Then what happened to mummy?" Ye Lee Ai inquired with a sad pout.
"Nothing. Mummy was just very emotional today so I cried a lot. It's nothing to be worried about, sweeties," Ning Xiaozhi assured them.
Rather than taking her word for it, their eyes moved to Ye Chaoxiang for confirmation. The latter nodded and they sighed.
"Sigh. Sister-in-law, you should not stress on thungs that would make you cry too much."
"I will."
"Sister-in-law?" Hao Yingjie was heard. It was then they remembered the three behind them.
"Yes. Let me introduce you guys," Ye Chaoxiang took things into his hands.
"These are my little sister, Ye Yumi and my daughter, Ye Lee Ai. Yumi, Lee Ai. These three are Xiaozhi's cousins."
"Ning Yi, Ning Li Qiang and Hao Yingjie. They are your in-laws and uncles to Lee Ai," he finalised.
"Oh! It is nice meeting you all," Ye Yumi offered them a kind smile.
"Us too. It's good to see you," Ning Yi nodded at her.
"So I have three more handsome uncles?" Ye Lee Ai asked cutely.
"Yes, baby. They are good to mummy so be good to them too, okay?"

"Hi, little princess."
"She is adorable."
"And sweet too. I can't believe Xiaozhi would hide her away from us," The three of them commented simultaneously.
Small laughter resounded frim them all. After, they proceeded into the mansion. As usual, Mr Ye was in the living room watching the news. So he saw them first.
"Dad, mum we are home," Ye Chaoxiang announced as they all walked in.
The butler called for a few maids and they went to take the coats of their guest and family.
"Oh! Honey, our Xiaozhi is home."
