Xu Yangyi’s slap on He Jingyan’s face stunned the guests nearby, who gossiped in a low voice.
“Did he slap Colonel He just now? How bold!”
“I think he’s going to be punished. How could he slap Colonel He on such an occasion? Although Colonel He adores Xu Yangyi, he must be angry.”
“We’d better stay away from him and don’t get involved.”
“You are right. He is arrogant and spoiled. Who is Colonel He? He had the nerve to slap Colonel He’s face in front of everyone. He is humiliating the colonel.”
“Looks like Mrs. He is a wild cat.”
“I can’t wait to see the show. I come to the right party. I can enjoy the show for free.”
Some people thought that Xu Yangyi would be punished, while others watched the fun and saw how He Jingyan would deal with it.
“Damn you. I told you not to lean closer. It serves you right.”
It wasn’t that Xu Yangyi didn’t hear the gossip, but he chose not to mind them.
He was not afraid that He Jingyan got angry. He hit He Jingyan a lot, and it had become a habit. Just now he automatically slapped He Jingyan. He didn’t mean to do it.
“It was my fault to begin with, wifey. You are right to slap me.”
How could He Jingyan be angry? He was only too happy. Xu Yangyi got annoyed because he felt shy.
“It’s good that you know,” Xu Yangyi said sullenly. He wanted to be nice, but He Jingyan leaned against him and held his waist without taking note of his warning.
“Are you going to let go?” Xu Yangyi narrowed his eyes menacingly.
He Jingyan tried to reason with him. “Wifey, can you save my face? There are so many people here.”
In fact, He Jingyan could use tough methods and knew how to deal with Xu Yangyi’s temper, but he didn’t like to make Xu Yangyi angry, so he begged Xu Yangyi.
“Okay, but this is the only exception I make.”
Although Xu Yangyi looked reluctant, he agreed.
“Okay.”
The guests were surprised to see that Xu Yangyi was not punished. He Jingyan continued to spoil him and talk to him flatteringly.
“My goodness! Colonel He is not angry even after his wife slapped him in the face. He adores his wife.”
“I’ve never seen a man pamper his wife so much. Colonel He has a high status and outstanding achievements.”
“He is so obsessed with his wife! He has really opened my eyes.”
“Mrs. He helped First Prince and Second Prince just now. Second Prince brought Colonel He to the party. Does it mean that Colonel He and the Second Prince are in the same boat?”
“What are you talking about? You are rude. You should say that Colonel He takes the side of Second Prince.”
“If that’s the case, Second Prince has the upper hand on Colonel He’s account. Shall we take the side of Second Prince?”
“I heard that Second Prince is a good person. He won’t go too far like the old gentleman. Why don’t we work for Second Prince together?”
“I think so. The old gentleman is too aggressive, and his sons are too arrogant. We will be in deep water.”
He Jingyan’s smile deepened on his lips when he heard the gossip. It seemed that he had planned all this.
