Clearly, Avril's scheme had worked.
As a woman herself, Avril naturally knew how to deal with other women. Those last words, akin to a confession, became the final straw that broke the camel's back, leaving Su Xiyue feeling utterly uncomfortable.
Although she and Ye Chen were still husband and wife in name, Avril expressed such sappy words in front of Su Xiyue. Even those with great temperaments couldn't endure it, let alone someone as proud as Su Xiyue.
Since Avril was a guest, Su Xiyue couldn't say much and naturally turned her frustrations towards Ye Chen.
"Ye Chen always has such a tender rapport with outsiders," Su Xiyue said with a light smile while tightening her grip gently.
"What nonsense are you spouting, Avril? I can't understand a word," Su Xiyue said.
Ye Chen subconsciously took Su Xiyue's hand, looked at her with a sheepish smile, and said, "Xiyue, Avril is just joking."
