Chapter 60: My Wife is Pure and Simple-Minded

Her hair had happened to catch right on the brooch pinned to his chest!

"I'm so sorry! I'll untangle it right away—"

Ye Mexi tugged hard at her strands of hair, which accidentally pulled the person opposite her directly forward. Startled and terrified, she jerked her head up in a panic, her lips brushing lightly against his Adam's apple...

Oh...

In an instant, Ye Mexi's pretty face flushed crimson.

"Don't move for a moment, I'll untangle it..."

Oh! Okay...

Ye Mexi stood there stiffly, her mind completely scrambled into mush.

"Done!"

Done?

Ye Mexi raised her head. The man had already turned around, and she found herself locked in a gaze of utter disdain.

"Hmph!"

He couldn't even be bothered to speak to her, and then eagerly hurried to catch up with someone else.

"Chief Michael, this way please..."

Chief Michael...

Her hair ached fiercely. It turned out the man had simply unpinned his expensive brooch and left it behind!

She had actually been mistaken for a vain, gold-digging woman! And right in front of her crush, of all people...

A wave of shame and grievance welled up instantly!

Ye Mexi's eyes turned red, tears swirling within them.

She grabbed the brooch and yanked hard, ripping her own hairs straight out.

"My Lord Wife, are you waiting for me?" Having finished handling the aftermath, Wen Boyan walked out and saw Ye Mexi facing the wall, clutching something in her hand...

Ye Mexi spun around and viciously stomped on Wen Boyan's right foot.

Grit-teething, she snapped, "Thanks to you! For as long as I've lived, this is the first time I've ever been treated like a gold-digger!"

A gold-digger?

What was that supposed to mean?

Ye Mexi's eyes were bloodshot, and a single tear slipped down her cheek. Disregarding the pain in his foot, Wen Boyan reached out to grab her arm, but Ye Mexi gave him no chance whatsoever.

"Chief Michael, what's so great about him anyway!"

She was never going to like him again!

Anyway, an untouchable flower high on a snowy peak was never someone she should have fantasized about! In the past, she could at least secretly indulge in daydreaming... From now on, she would only like Feng Yanling!

Right! She was already married; she shouldn't be harboring feelings for any man other than Feng Yanling!

Even having a slight crush was wrong!

Ye Mexi hurled the brooch at Wen Boyan and turned on her heel to storm off.

Wen Boyan's chest ached dully because of that single tear of hers, and he flurriedly caught the brooch.

The dozen or so strands of hair tangled inextricably around the brooch still seemed to bear traces of blood; they had clearly been ripped out by the roots!

If he hadn't misunderstood, the gold-digger Ye Mexi had mentioned simply meant she was mistaken for a vain woman trying to attract Chief Michael's attention, right?

Although they hadn't interacted deeply, to claim that Ye Mexi was a gold-digger?

Then there probably weren't any decent women left in the entire Interstellar!

...

"Chief Michael!"

The tall, handsome man turned around. Draped in a holy white robe, he seemed to radiate a faint glow all over.

"Attorney Wen?"

"My wife is pure-minded and has no ambition to climb social ladders. I've cleaned this brooch, and now I'm returning it to you!"

Wasn't she pure and foolish? If he hadn't been right behind her, and that brooch had fallen into someone else's hands, it undoubtedly would have caused a massive uproar!

Now he was returning it to Chief Michael. As for whether it was thrown away afterward or gifted to someone else, it had nothing to do with Ye Mexi. She wouldn't be implicated in any subsequent trouble.

A flash of confusion crossed Chief Michael's light-golden eyes.

Wen Boyan opened the box, and only then did Chief Michael remember.

Actually, he had been regretting his lack of composure just moments ago...

Especially at the exact moment that young girl's lips had brushed against his Adam's apple, he had felt a sudden impulse to pull her tightly into his arms.

That flutter of the heart was unfamiliar and terrifying to him, which was why he had unclasped the brooch directly...

"I am very sorry for the trouble it caused her."

"As long as you don't mind! She's young, so her temperament is inevitably a bit high-spirited. Once again, I apologize to you on her behalf. You're busy, so I won't disturb you any further."

Clutching the box in his hand, Chief Michael wanted to say something, but ultimately kept his mouth shut.

Wen Boyan boarded his hovercraft and sent a message to Feng Yanling.

"Thank me, I've just eliminated another potential major love rival for you!"

"What kind of madman are you, having another episode?"

Having an episode?

Wen Boyan was furious.

Chief Michael, for crying out loud! The dream lover of every woman in the Interstellar! If it had been anyone else misunderstanding Ye Mexi, would she have been hurt to the point of tears?

He must have stayed in the military legion too long; his brain was entirely rigid, completely incapable of understanding the delicate inner thoughts of a young woman!

...

"Click."

The door opened, and two intertwined figures hastily separated...

Or rather, the tall figure had been completely shoved away in an instant by the petite one...

"Well, Mexi, you're back..."

Xing Miao smiled awkwardly.

"Yeah! You didn't go to class..."

The one feeling equally awkward was Ye Mexi.

She remembered that Xing Miao's husband was Long Mu, but the person before her eyes was clearly Long Song, whom she had met once before! He was even Long Mu's cousin...

Seeing that Feng Yanling didn't look surprised in the least, Ye Mexi suppressed all her swirling doubts in her heart.

As she pushed open her bedroom door, voices still drifted in from the hallway.

"I have to go to class..."

"I'll walk you..."

"Who wants you to walk me! Go away..."

What was going on here?

Ye Mexi glanced at Feng Yanling.

"Xing Miao's arranged marriage partner is Long Song, but she fancied Long Mu herself."

Long Mu was the heir of the Long family, while Long Song was a highly promising 2S-grade sentinel from a branch family. Xing Miao was a student at the Academy of Talents; while out on a mission with Long Mu's combat team, the two caught each other's eye. Long Mu was decisive—after asking for Xing Miao's opinion, he went straight to the military department to file a marriage application.

Meanwhile, the elders of the Xing and Long families had negotiated and directly announced the arranged marriage between Xing Miao and Long Song. As a result, right in the middle of Long Mu and Xing Miao's legitimate marital relationship, a third person had been wedged in!

Ordinarily, Xing Miao wouldn't have been in a position to pick and choose, but who told her to break through to Level 5 right before the marriage alliance?

However, an exceptional young woman never lacks suitors. Long Mu didn't stop Long Song from pursuing Xing Miao, and although Xing Miao preferred Long Mu, pressured by her family, she had no choice but to continue interacting with Long Song.

Feng Yanling had initially thought Ye Mexi might hold some alternative views about her roommate, but instead, Ye Mexi wore a proud expression that practically screamed, "That's my roommate, all right!"

He suddenly remembered that there was still a predatory Xiong Sheng and a Wen Boyan far away in another star system, making his chest feel heavy with frustration...

"You often go to Xi Mo's place. Have a lot of wet-behind-the-ears rookies been batting their eyelashes at you, too?"

Feng Yanling's tone carried a hint of sour grievance.

Ye Mexi looked at him with eyes full of confusion.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so sour? You just called them wet-behind-the-ears rookies yourself—don't tell me they could actually become your love rivals?"

Because of the milk tea shop, whenever Ye Mexi went to the military academy, she naturally attracted much more attention.

"Even though I really want to monopolize you, if you ever happen to fall for someone else in the future, it's not like I couldn't accept a new member joining!"

"Heh! I can't deny that your proposal is indeed tempting, but in any foreseeable death I can imagine for myself, dying exhausted in bed will definitely not be one of them!"

She had been so exhausted last night that she passed out cold, yet the moment she finally managed to wake up, this man was still going at it with full force.

Feng Yanling ruffled her hair. She had no idea that once spiritual resonance reaches a certain height, the temptation of mind-body integration for a sentinel is overwhelmingly intense!

"What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
