But the thought of Qingmu Garden being Ye Qilanâs home, and Ding Ye entering boldly to seduce Ye Qilanâs woman, made it impossible for Fu Yan to swallow his anger.
"If my brother-in-law werenât in the picture, I think Ding Ye and my sister would make quite a good match..." Liu Qingyin finished saying and immediately hid behind Qiao Qiao because she knew her words would infuriate Fu Yan.
Fu Yan really did become furious. He charged up to Liu Qingyin, spraying her face with spit as he yelled: "Liu Qingyin, have you taken a fancy to Ding Ye too?"
"Why would I fancy him? I donât even like my brother-in-law," Liu Qingyin retorted unhappily.
Hearing this, Fu Yan felt somewhat comforted.
"The two of you, go keep my fourth sister-in-law company right now. Donât give Ding Ye and my fourth sister-in-law any chance to get too intimate. In short, they must not have any relations!" Fu Yan believed this was of paramount importance.
His words struck a chord with Liu Qingyin and Qiao Qiao.
Su Hongxingâs second chance at love definitely needs a good measure of the other personâs character.
If Ding Ye is of good character, letting Su Hongxing develop a relationship with Ding Ye isnât out of the question.
Of course, they dared not say this in front of Fu Yan.
Soon, the three of them returned to the living room as if nothing had happened. They kept an eye on Ding Ye, afraid he might make a move on Su Hongxing. But you see, Ding Ye behaved very properly and showed no intention of taking liberties with Su Hongxing.
Especially after dinner, when Su Hongxing wanted to wash the dishes, he stopped her.
Everyone thought that Ding Ye was going to wash the dishes himself, but then Ding Ye suddenly turned to look at them, his gaze finally settling on Fu Yanâs face: "Fu Yan, you wash the dishes!"
Fu Yan almost immediately stood up, planning to obey. It was only when he approached the dining table that he sensed something was amiss. He confronted Ding Ye angrily: "Who are you ordering around? You ate the most, why should I wash the dishes?"
He doesnât even wash dishes at home, so why should he come to Qingmu Garden and let Ding Ye, this outsider, boss him around?
"You donât have to wash dishes, but from now on, youâre not allowed to step foot in Qingmu Garden!" Ding Ye said as he picked up Little Pudding.
Little Pudding also chimed in from the side: "Daddy wants daddy to wash dishes, daddy should listen."
Fu Yan glared at Little Pudding, this little ingrate. It was bad enough that he took to a stranger as his dad, yet he also turned his elbow out (betrayed his own family).
"Iâll do the washing," Su Hongxing said as she moved to clear the dishes.
"Anyone here can wash the dishes. You cooked dinner, why should you have to wash them as well? You canât keep indulging these people. If they donât wash, they should all leave Qingmu Garden!" Ding Yeâs words left everyone present stunned.
Fu Yan really wanted to retort.
This Mr. Ding was being too much. He just moved in today and is already acting like the man of the house. Does he think heâs Ye Qilan just because he has Ye Qilanâs face?
"So, not washing, is it? Fu Yan, disappear right now!" Ding Ye looked at Fu Yan.
"Iâll wash them," Qiao Qiao hurriedly stepped forward to defuse the tense atmosphere.
Ding Yeâs next statement surprised everyone again: "Anyone who doesnât wash the dishes should leave Qingmu Garden!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Qiao immediately cleared the table. Liu Qingyin didnât dare delay either and followed her into the kitchen. Before leaving, she also gave Fu Yan a kick.
Fu Yan really wanted to have a big fight with Ding Ye, but every time he caught sight of Ding Yeâs eyes, which were just like Ye Qilanâs, he lost his nerve.
In the end, he too ran to the kitchen, muttering, "Is this Mr. Ding sick? How dare he tell us to leave? I get it now, he wants us gone so he can monopolize my fourth sister-in-law. We must not let him have his way!"
