You Are My Only Sunshine-Chapter 1603 - 1602: The Upright Wife

Ever since she gave you the prescription, something went wrong after your research. If there was a problem with Xiaoyun’s medicine, why am I okay? So there must be some conspiracy involved." Xia Pu unusually responded bluntly.

Ye Hong’s eyes suddenly turned red, as if she had been gravely wronged, "Xiaopu, how can you suspect me like this? Don’t you know what kind of person I am? For your sake, I’ve tried everything I could, I even convinced Yuanze to come over and accompany you, I even treated you as my best friend, yet you suspect me like this, it really upsets me!"

After speaking, Ye Hong lowered her head to wipe her tears, seeming genuinely aggrieved.

Seeing her cry, Mo Jun and the others were a bit surprised, and Xia Pu also doubted if she had spoken too harshly.

But they instantly understood why she was crying, because Pei Yuanze had arrived!

He was just walking down from upstairs and, seeing this strange atmosphere, asked in confusion, "What’s going on with you all?"

"Yuanze, it’s not Xiaopu’s fault, I was just speaking in anger earlier." Ye Hong hurriedly explained, taking all the blame on herself.

Pei Yuanze had indeed heard Ye Hong’s words earlier, and after hearing her explanation, he didn’t say anything, he just told Xia Pu, "You all continue chatting, I have something to do, I’ll head out for a bit."

"Okay." Xia Pu responded indifferently.

Yet Ye Hong eagerly asked, "Yuanze, dinner is ready, where are you going?"

The tone she used was even more natural than that of Xia Pu, the legitimate wife.

"I have some things to deal with outside." Pei Yuanze replied formulaically.

Ye Hong, however, wouldn’t let it rest, "But it’s time for dinner. Why don’t you eat first and then go, Xiaopu, don’t you agree?"

Pei Yuanze looked towards Xia Pu, as if he would stay for dinner if only she spoke up.

For a moment, Xia Pu felt as if something was stuck in her throat, making her uncomfortable.

Suddenly, Ye Hong seemed extremely annoying to her. What did it matter to Yo Hong whether Pei Yuanze ate dinner or not?

And how should she respond to this?

If she let Pei Yuanze go attend to his matters, it would seem like she cared for him even less than Ye Hong did. Yet if she let him stay for dinner, she would be agreeing with Ye Hong.

Just as Xia Pu was unsure of what to say, Mo Jun suddenly laughed, "Xiaopu’s husband, why don’t you eat before you go handle your business. Otherwise, this young lady will have to keep speaking on your behalf."

Everyone seemed to understand the implied meaning behind Mo Jun’s words.

Ye Hong instantly felt both embarrassed and annoyed!

She secretly glared at Mo Jun, feeling that this woman was utterly lacking in manners, so crude!

What did she mean, was she hinting that Ye Hong had forgotten her place?

However, Ye Hong directly ignored her words and continued persuading Pei Yuanze, "Yes, eat first and then leave. I also have something I’d like your help with."

"What is it?" Pei Yuanze asked flatly.

"I’ll tell you during dinner!" Ye Hong smiled, teasing deliberately, her smile so playful that even Hua Ling almost laughed.

Just at that moment, Xia’s mother called them for dinner.

The housekeeper had started preparing dinner early, so everything was ready quickly.

Xia Zhongtang had also returned, so they all went to the dining room for dinner.

Mo Jun and Hua Ling intentionally stayed, wanting to see what Ye Hong intended. Mo Jun also wanted to find an opportunity to approach her, thus having more chances to deal with her.

During the meal, Pei Yuanze sat beside Xia Pu, and Ye Hong wanted to sit on the other side of Pei Yuanze, but Hua Ling deliberately took the seat first.

"Sorry, I sat here first!"
