Cherished Marriage

From that day on, Ye Che began his private investigation.

He wasn't sure whether Xu Ziliang was truly 'squeaky clean,' living in a bachelor pad, riding a bicycle, relying on a generous scholarship to attend the best high school in the city, and then being recommended for university admission.

Or was it that the man was too low-key, too reserved, that even his subordinates couldn't dig up his family background?

This year, when Yiyi graduated from high school, Xu Ziliang was recommended to study at Cambridge in England. How dared he entice Yiyi to go abroad with him?

If it hadn't been for that, Ye Che would never have set a trap at his grandmother's birthday banquet to get Yiyi drunk and collaborate with his mother, staging a farce to turn raw rice into cooked rice and force Yiyi into marrying him!

Every time he thought of the man in the photo, kissing her so rightfully, holding her, and she not only didn't resist or show shyness but instead looked like a blissfully happy little woman, Ye Che felt a wave of discontent and anger within.

So, when he spoke, he was viciously sarcastic, "Xia Weiyi, don't look at me with such unforgivable eyes. If you hadn't been so disrespectful to yourself, thinking about messing around with wild men since high school, would this young master have to send someone to follow you, to stop you from doing something shameless outside and bringing shame to the Ye Family?"

Before his words fell, there was a 'slap—' Xia Weiyi threw her phone fiercely to the side, a priceless antique vase in front of the sofa shattered to the ground, making a deafening noise.

Xia Weiyi showed no sense of wrongdoing at all; instead, she stood in her slippers, head held high, staring at Ye Che with a furious rebuttal, "Ye Che, you can say anything about me, but don't insult my boyfriend!"

Ye Che looked down slightly, his eyes flickering with evasion. He had never seen his well-behaved little thing in such a blaze of anger before, and he seemed a bit unable to react.

Xia Weiyi had been spoiled by Ye Che over the years, and deep down, she had a bit of a clawing defiance, but she just kept up a facade of innocence and cuteness in front of her brother.

Now, discovering that she had been tracked and surveilled, without a bit of privacy or human rights, and being scolded as 'shameless, wild man,' Xia Weiyi became indignant.

She chuckled disdainfully and continued, "Ye Che, speaking of self-respect and self-love, you would be the second to none. Your reputation precedes you, changing women more frequently than clothes, bedsheets you've rolled in—I can't count them all with fingers and toes combined. What right do you have to stand here and lecture me, to say that I've brought shame to the Ye Family?"

"Xu Ziliang and I may be dating, but we are pure, and we have never had any relations!"

"He respects me, cherishes me, treasures me, and he doesn't entangle with other women. And you, taking advantage when I was drunk, you actually... Ye Che, I considered you my brother, and you actually wanted to sleep with me? Is this how you treat your own sister?"

Xia Weiyi was furious inside. Her virginity, which she treasured for eighteen years and meant to keep for the husband she loved most, was taken away by Ye Che in her confusion.

And in front of the public eye?

He had already had his pleasure, yet was he still unwilling to let her go?
