Chapter 21: The Fury of a Stolen Wife

"Congratulations, you have successfully spread some 'dog food' (showing off a romantic relationship) and earned 5 points!"

Watching the couple continuing to flaunt their affection, Wang Ziwen could only roll his eyes in frustration. He did have some interest in Su Mei, but it was more for family benefits.

Ever since he was engaged due to family arrangements and after experiencing life and death situations in the special forces, his feelings for Su Mei had shifted more towards friendship. His recent intervention was just out of curiosity to test Ye Tian's abilities.

Though he felt guilty, his hands were already injured in the scuffle. How could Ye Tian turn out to be the victim?

Ignoring the upset Wang Ziwen, Su Mei pulled Ye Tian aside, her face blushing deeply:

"Ye... Ye Tian, can you... stay at my place tonight?"

Could this be a confession?

Seeing Su Mei's shy and blushing face, Ye Tian felt his heart flutter. Trying to appear nonchalant, he said, "Of course, it's just for one night. What's the big deal?"

"But..." Su Mei, thinking of her grandfather's instructions, felt extremely conflicted. After hesitating, she finally spoke decisively, "You have to share a room with me."

What? Living together with the goddess?

Ye Tian's heart raced. He hesitated for a moment but decided to be a bit more reserved. At least he had to put on a show. Suppressing his almost boiling blood, he said, "Sharing a room now, isn't that moving a bit too fast?"

Su Mei's eyes widened in shock. Once she understood the meaning behind Ye Tian's words, she angrily stomped on his foot and turned to leave.

Ye Tian, wincing in pain, regretted his pretense of modesty and quickly followed her.

"Don't be angry, okay? Sharing a room is fine, I agree!"

Sharing a room? Almost half of the banquet hall was stunned by Ye Tian's loud declaration, watching as Ye Tian and Su Mei left. At that moment, it seemed as if many hearts were breaking.

"My goddess! To be taken by such a fool, I can't live anymore!" A man cried out in agony, followed by a chorus of similar cries.

"A beautiful flower, why must it be stuck in cow dung? If it has to be, why not choose cow dung like me?"

"Ye Tian! The fury of a stolen wife is unbearable!"

"Right! The fury of a stolen wife is unbearable!"

...

"What's with all the howling? Didn't you see it was Su Mei who took the initiative?" A middle-aged woman, disapproving of the men's behavior, scoffed. Her words pierced their hearts, intensifying their resentment.

"Ye Tian! The fury of a stolen wife is unbearable!"

...

"Congratulations, you have successfully spread some 'dog food' and earned 15 points!"

"Congratulations, you have successfully spread some 'dog food' and earned 7 points!"

"Congratulations, you have successfully spread some 'dog food' and earned 10 points!"

"Congratulations, you have successfully spread some 'dog food' and earned 5 points!"

...

"Is dog food raining from the sky?"

Chasing after Su Mei, Ye Tian was puzzled, not understanding why he was still earning points even after leaving the hall.

However, he was pleased to see his points nearing the hundred mark. Continuing his pursuit, Ye Tian called out, "Su Mei, wait for me! What did you mean by what you said just now?"

Su Mei initially ignored him, but due to the commotion caused by Ye Tian, she stopped. Her face cold, she warned, "My grandfather wants us to stay overnight. To avoid suspicion, we must sleep in the same room. I'll take the bed, and you can sleep on the floor. If you try anything inappropriate, I'll castrate you!"

Su Mei's threat made Ye Tian instinctively protect himself. He complained, "That's so unfair. We've shared a bed before, and you were the one who initiated it!"

Su Mei's cheeks flushed with the memory. She vaguely remembered some details from that night, suggesting she indeed took the initiative.

However, she wouldn't admit it. Glaring at Ye Tian, she snapped, "What did you say?"

"Nothing, just saying it's hot and sleeping on the floor is fine," Ye Tian quickly corrected, agreeing with her.

"Smooth talker! Go entertain yourself. I'll take you to the bedroom after the banquet," Su Mei said, leaving him behind.

Returning to the banquet hall, Ye Tian immediately felt a cold atmosphere. Looking around, he noticed the men, although conversing among themselves, frequently glancing at him with resentment.

"What's with them? Why do I feel a chill down my spine?" Ye Tian, unable to find anyone to talk to, sat next to Wang Ziwen, who was sipping wine and trying to look cool on a sofa.

"A stolen wife's fury is hard to bear, what do you think?" Wang Ziwen glanced at Ye Tian, slightly enjoying his predicament. "Be careful when you go out these next few days, lest you get ambushed."

"Darn it!" Ye Tian was speechless. Looking at Wang Ziwen's gloating face, he asked, "What about you? Didn't you pursue Su Mei? Don't you want to hit me?"

"I did pursue her! But it's all in the past, and there's no point in getting hurt over it. Besides, Su Mei is too dominant for my taste," Wang Ziwen shrugged, teasingly adding, "I guess you're just a shield for her, but it seems like you might actually end up together. I hope you don't become a eunuch the next time I see you."

Feeling a sense of camaraderie, Ye Tian was reminded of Su Mei's threat.

Wang Ziwen smiled and extended his hand to Ye Tian.

Still going for it? Does this kid have a masochistic streak?

Ye Tian hesitated, but seeing Wang Ziwen's sincere expression, he shook his hand.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Wang Ziwen, captain of the Tenglong Special Guard, Yellow Squad, with the rank of major."

Ye Tian was slightly envious. Tenglong Special Guard sounded even more impressive than the South Sea Special Guard, probably a unit like the Dragon Group.

As for himself? Just a security team leader, and not even officially in position. Ye Tian sighed and reluctantly introduced himself:

"I'm Ye Tian, security team leader of Meishi Cosmetics Company."
