Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

"She still won't eat?"

"Yes, it's still the same." The young maid lowered her head and looked submissive, respectfully answering the words of the middle-aged man in front of her who looked elegant and noble.

"Well, go tell the kitchen to cook some porridge, and I'll bring it in myself later." The middle-aged man frowned when he heard this, looking very worried.

"Sir, you don't have to worry too much. You love your lady so much that she will definitely understand." The maid secretly raised her head and looked at the middle-aged man in front of her, who was over 40 but still tall and handsome, and said comfortingly with a blush.

"I hope so. I'll go in and see her first. Don't let anyone disturb us until the porridge is ready." The middle-aged man didn't seem to notice the maid's slightly red cheeks at all, and continued to give instructions in a gentle tone.

"Okay." The maid nodded obediently, watching the man turn the door and walk in. She sighed softly, feeling very sorry for the man. How could the wife not cherish such a gentle and kind man? She also quarreled with the husband every day. Sigh, I really can't understand it. If it were me, I would definitely...

After realizing what she was thinking, the maid's face suddenly turned red and she hurriedly shook her head, trying to get rid of this unrealistic idea from her mind. What kind of person is this gentleman?

The uncle of the famous President Ye and the biological son of Mr. Ye, such a noble status and outstanding appearance are not something that an ordinary maid like me can achieve even if he is already middle-aged, not to mention that he is deeply in love with his wife.

Thinking of this, the maid couldn't help but smile bitterly. In her opinion, the lady was not worthy of the master except for her face. Although she had just arrived, she had come to know the lady's character clearly in such a short time.

Thinking of this, the maid couldn't help but smile bitterly, her heart full of helplessness and emotion. In her opinion, the lady was not worthy of the master except for her pretty face. Although she had just arrived, she had understood the lady's character clearly in such a short time.

Although she looked weak and tender, and seemed to be pitiful and sympathetic, she was actually as irritable as an enraged lion, and her mental state was extremely unstable, like a bomb that could explode at any time, and she would yell for no reason at any time.

When she loses control of her emotions, she will even smash things and make a mess in the room. Fortunately, her husband is very patient with her and takes good care of her. No matter how unreasonable his wife is, her husband always silently tolerates and endures.

She really felt sorry for the gentleman and didn't understand why he would be so affectionate and considerate to such a bad woman.

Ye Zhenkai didn't care at all what the maid thought, just like he was well aware of the maid's secret feelings towards him but didn't reveal it. He only needed to use this love to make her more loyal to him and work for him more wholeheartedly without having to think about how to respond to this love. He spent more than ten years learning this principle from Lin Yurou.

The curtains in the room were tightly closed, and it was pitch black. He pressed the switch on the wall, and the moment the room lit up, a weak curse came from the corner, "How many times have I told you not to turn on the light? Are you deaf?"

Ye Zhenkai's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "Arou, it's me."

The curse that was just shouted out suddenly stopped, and a rustling sound of cloth was heard from the corner, as if something was frightened and was crawling quickly on the ground, trying to hide.

Ye Zhenkai took two steps forward with a smile on his face. "I heard from the servants that you are not behaving well again. Why don't you eat again?"

The sound of fabric rubbing became louder. Ye Zhenkai turned around the bookshelf and saw Lin Yurou with disheveled hair, crawling towards the bathroom in a hurry. After seeing the frightened expression on Lin Yurou's face, the smile on his face faded. He stopped and watched Lin Yurou hurriedly hide in the bathroom, then slammed the door.

"Ye Zhenkai, get out! Get out!" Although Ye Zhenkai did nothing, Lin Yurou seemed to have seen a terrifying flood or beast. She hid in the bathroom and continued to cry hysterically.

Ye Zhenkai calmly walked to the bathroom door, turned the doorknob in front of Lin Yurou's horrified eyes, and sighed at Lin Yurou who was curled up in the bathtub. As if talking to a child who was making trouble for no reason, he spoke gently, "Have you forgotten? The last time I hid you here, I had the door lock removed."

Lin Yurou could only stare with fearful eyes as Ye Zhenkai easily opened the bathroom door, walked step by step to the bathtub, and looked down at her.

"Why are you always disobedient? I've only been out for a day and you're already torturing yourself. Do you know how sad I would be?" Ye Zhenkai frowned slightly, looking very distressed, and stretched out his hand towards Lin Yurou who was curled up in the bathtub.

The moment Ye Zhenkai's hand touched her, Lin Yurou suddenly stopped trembling and put on a pitiful look. She said softly, "Zhenkai, I was wrong. Please don't be angry. I won't dare to do it again."

Ye Zhenkai's calm expression suddenly twisted. The hand that was about to hug Lin Yurou turned in another direction and pinched her chin fiercely. His tone was full of hatred and disgust, "Don't dare? Lin Yurou, since you are so good at acting, why can't you act for the rest of your life? You can lie to me for the rest of your life, why can't you just keep acting?"

Lin Yurou had just subconsciously wanted to pretend to be weak to make Ye Zhenkai feel distressed, but she never expected that this would backfire and anger Ye Zhenkai instead. She could no longer maintain her pretended calmness and hurriedly trembled as she tried to pull Ye Zhenkai's iron-like hand, "Let me go, Ye Zhenkai, you beast, you're breaking the law, you know that? I want to divorce you!"

"Divorce? Arou, didn't we swear a vow when we were together? Except for death, no one and nothing can separate us, have you forgotten?" No matter how Lin Yurou pinched his palm, Ye Zhenkai seemed to be unconscious and had no intention of letting go of her chin.

His expression was calm, but the words he said made Lin Yurou's hair stand on end. She was so scared that she trembled all over. The harsh look she had just shown disappeared immediately. She quickly reached out and hugged Ye Zhenkai's arm, her eyes full of pleading. "Zhenkai, I won't say that again. I will live a good life with you and will never be willful again. Please don't be like this, okay?"

Ye Zhenkai stared at Lin Yurou intently, his eyes were like a sharp blade, as if to pierce her soul. He stared at her intently until he realized that she finally stopped resisting, then he sneered, and the laughter was full of ridicule and disdain.

Then, he loosened her chin which was swollen from being pinched by him. The moment his fingers loosened, clear finger marks were left. Then, he bent down and picked her up from the bathtub. Although his movements were gentle, they were not tender at all. He walked out of the bathroom steadily and put her back on the bed.

His movements were gentle and his expression was calm, completely different from the man with a distorted expression, a ferocious face, and a tyrannical aura. It was as if he had become the gentle man in Lin Yurou's memory who obeyed her in everything and gave her unconditionally, but it was only an as if.

But Lin Yurou knew clearly that there was no going back. Ever since she had a falling out with that dead girl Lin Xi before her wedding and she had been led by her to say those words, which were heard by Ye Zhenkai who was outside the door, their relationship could never go back to the way it was before.

But in fact, she had a chance to make amends. After Lin Xi left, Ye Zhenkai walked in silently. Lin Yurou clearly saw the struggle and pain in his eyes. If she could have acted weak and coquettishly in front of the man in front of her like she had done countless times before after doing something wrong, she was sure that Ye Zhenkai would eventually choose to forgive her.

But perhaps it was Ye Zhenkai's indulgence over the years that made her forget that she originally had nothing, or perhaps it was Lin Xi's two slaps that made her completely lose her mind.

At that time, she fell to the ground, looking extremely embarrassed. Looking at Ye Zhenkai standing not far away with a complicated expression, she was angry that he did not come to protect her immediately, so she blurted out some extremely vicious words, "Do you think I really like you? I just think you are rich and willing to be a sucker."

"What's the use of a man like you who can't even protect his own woman?"

"It's really laughable that my own company was taken away by an outsider."

……

Lin Yurou herself couldn't remember what was said afterwards. Her mind was in a mess, and her thoughts were like tangled threads that she couldn't sort out. In the end, she only remembered that Ye Zhenkai finally walked towards her with a gloomy face. His face was so terribly gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

He silently helped herself up from the ground; his movements were not gentle. Afterwards, Ye Zhenkai had someone send her home. After that, Lin Yurou never left the room again.

Ye Zhenkai put her under house arrest.

At first, Lin Yurou would make a lot of noise and secretly beg the servants to let her out. However, after Ye Zhenkai caught her back again and again with an expressionless face and replaced her with new batches of servants, Lin Yurou finally realized the horrible fact that she might have to be entangled with Ye Zhenkai for the rest of her life.

Ye Zhenkai had never beaten or scolded her, and most of the time his attitude towards her was no different from before, but Lin Yurou knew that he was no longer the man who could be easily fooled by her with a few words. It seemed that after knowing her true face, he no longer hid the almost pathological paranoia in his bones. Even though he knew that she had never loved him, he still wanted to keep her by his side.

In fact, Lin Yurou has always known that Ye Zhenkai has such a tendency. It seems that the stubbornness and paranoia are in the genes of the Ye family. When Mr. Ye was young, he fell in love with Bai at first sight and tried every means to marry her home. Even though Bai died early due to childbirth, he never remarried in his life.

Ye Zhenqi and Ye Zhenkai, the brother and sister who inherited Grandpa Ye's bloodline, are exactly the same as Grandpa Ye. Once they set their eyes on someone, they are never willing to let go. Unfortunately, Ye Zhenqi has a poor vision and cannot judge people well. In the end, she could not accept the reality and drove herself crazy. Ye Zhenkai's ex-wife was a business marriage, and the two had no feelings for each other. After discovering that Ye Zhenkai had such a morbid tendency, she resolutely divorced him.

In order to get Ye Zhenkai's money, she deliberately tried to get close to him and took great pains to disguise herself as his favorite person.

She knew very well that a man with a prominent family background like Ye Zhenkai must be surrounded by countless people with ulterior motives. She didn't believe that Ye Zhenkai didn't investigate her past in advance when he decided to be with her.

But maybe he didn't care, or maybe he really liked her, liked her so much that he could ignore her past that she didn't want to look back on. In the end, he ignored Mr. Ye's strong opposition and resolutely married her at the cost of almost giving up the inheritance rights of the entire Ye family, overcoming all difficulties.

Even when facing tremendous pressure from his family, even when having to endure all kinds of doubts and criticisms from the outside world, he did not retreat or hesitate in the slightest.

Lin Yurou originally thought that she had disguised herself well enough, or that she was lucky enough, to be able to cross the class barrier and jump from a precarious, impoverished lower-class person to become the envied wife of the Ye family.

But it was not until she was put under house arrest by Ye Zhenkai that she finally realized, as if awakened from a dream, that all the gifts of fate had been secretly marked with a price.

Ye Zhenkai fell in love with her because of the fantasy of gentleness and kindness she pretended to have, so she couldn't break this fantasy with her own hands, otherwise, what would greet her would only be the current situation that made her live a life worse than death.

Unfortunately, she woke up too late. Her cautiousness and fear had been gradually numbed by the extravagant and luxurious life over the past decade.

She used to live a pampered life under Ye Zhenkai's protection, and gradually lost her vigilance and awe.

On the contrary, her ambition, like an uncontrolled weed, was gradually nurtured by Ye Zhenkai's daily indulgence. She began to become greedy and insatiable, and eventually destroyed everything she had.

From just wanting to live a stable life with no worries about food and clothing at the beginning, she turned into someone with great ambition to take control of the entire Ye Group. Unfortunately, her ability was far from commensurate with her growing ambition. The unpredictable change of Lin Xi also made her panic in an instant. She made one wrong decision after another in the chaos, and finally pushed herself into an abyss of no return.

She could only spend the rest of her life in endless fear. Her former greed and delusion had become the source of her current pain. In the end, she could only end up with a miserable ending of being a bird in a cage for the rest of her life. Her former glory disappeared like a passing cloud, and now she was trapped in this small space, losing her freedom and everything she once had.
