Chapter 3707: Whirlwind Face Slap Editor: Atlas Studios Hua Ci’s face lost all color. She didn’t even notice that her nails had dug into her flesh. "I... understand." Ye Lan pretended nothing had happened and said a few words of concern before hanging up. Hua Ci hung up mechanically and slid onto the sofa, unable to calm down for a long time. The girl’s eye-catching and arrogant face appeared in her mind. Hua Ci couldn’t associate Qiao Nian with the next mistress of the Ye family. Qiao Nian was the next mistress of the Ye family, which meant that she was... Ye Wangchuan’s fiancée! Hua Ci’s fingers unconsciously curled up. She had grown up overseas and advocated freedom overseas. She pursued sincere love and looked down on old-fashioned methods of arranged marriages. She knew that Ye Wangchuan had a fiancée he had been engaged to since he was young, but she had never seen her before and had always pretended this person did not exist. Now that this person appeared before her, the impact was too great. It was only at this moment that Hua Ci realized her feelings. In fact, she had a strange feeling for her ’little brother’, whom she had not seen much growing up. Her expression turned sad. It looked fragile under the light, but she couldn’t help but think that Qiao Nian wasn’t worthy of Ye Wangchuan. Hua Ci couldn’t control this thought as it gradually expanded in her heart. She grabbed her cell phone, half her face shrouded in shadows, and sent a message to Ye Wangchuan. She wrote a long paragraph, roughly explaining what had happened tonight. She expressed that she did not know Qiao Nian’s identity at first, but she did not bully her. She hoped that he would not misunderstand. At the end, she casually asked if all the local girls were more sensitive, or if it was easy for girls of this age to misunderstand. She still used the playful tone that she was always good at. The distance was just right. It was between a friend and a neighbor’s sister. However, not long after she sent the message, Ye Wangchuan called her. Hua Ci’s heart beat like a drum. She stood up nervously and pared twice around the room before excitedly accepting the call. "Hello, Wangchuan." The other end of the call was rather noisy. Ye Wangchuan should be outside. She was about to say, "Don’t worry, I’m fine. I just explained to avoid misunderstandings. I really didn’t bully your girlfriend... I don’t know why she didn’t let me bandage her and change her dressing. Why don’t you call her and coax her?" Usually, when faced with her half-joking tone, the man could not say anything out of politeness. Unexpectedly... Ye Wangchuan’s deep voice carried a layer of frost as he gave a faint warning. "Since when are you in charge of my matters?" "Wangchuan?" Hua Ci froze. Ye Wangchuan’s nonchalant voice continued, "The Ye family raised you. Since you’ve grown up, you can help do whatever you can. I thought this was a fair deal. However, I’ll be straightforward since you don’t know your place. From now on, you only need to contact my aunt. You’re her old friend’s daughter, and I respect her as an elder. As for others, you don’t have to contact them anymore. Besides my aunt’s private funding, the Ye family will withdraw all your funding!" Hua Ci’s eyes widened, and a chill ran down her spine, feeling like she had fallen into an icehouse. She gritted her teeth and gripped her cell phone tightly. "I didn’t do anything wrong!"
