After having brunch, Shen Ye and Ye Ze didn’t immediately leave. Grandpa Ye called them over to discuss the banquet.

“The time is set for the day after tomorrow. What do you think?” Grandpa Ye said. “We have many family members, so it won’t take too long to prepare. Send out the invitations tomorrow.”

Shen Ye and Ye Ze exchanged a glance.

“I have no objections. Grandpa, you decide,” Shen Ye said.

Ye Ze nodded. “You make the decision.”

“Alright, it’s settled then,” Grandpa Ye confirmed.

Shen Shimu whispered to Ye Ze on the side, “People in the circle already know about your marriage from yesterday. When they see you introducing your partner in person at the banquet, they’ll probably go crazy.”

As the head of the Ye family, Ye Ze naturally had many admirers, but he didn’t know any of them. For the past ten years, he had been focused on leading the Ye family and investigating what happened ten years ago to avenge his parents and uncle. Because of his indifferent nature, no one dared to confess their feelings to him.

Shen Shimu used to often say that someone liked him, but he couldn’t even remember their names, let alone their appearances.

Shen Ye clicked his tongue. “My husband is quite popular, huh?”

“That’s true,” Shen Shimu excitedly replied. He was about to expose Ye Ze’s charm when he saw Ye Ze coldly sweep his gaze over him, and Shen Ye also stared at him threateningly.

Shen Shimu: “…”

Shen Ye raised an eyebrow.

“No, I made it up,” Shen Shimu quickly changed his statement.

Shen Ye laughed. “Don’t worry, I know my husband is very charming.”

“…,” Shen Shimu secretly thought, ‘With your jealousy, how can I not worry?’

To be honest, he was actually afraid that Shen Ye would suddenly take out a talisman and slap it on him, making him shut up instantly…

“But I’m also very charming. There are plenty of people who like me,” Shen Ye said with a playful smile.

This time, it was Ye Ze who raised an eyebrow. “Oh?”

Shen Ye: “…I made it up.”

Xu Sisi couldn’t take it anymore. “You’re so timid.”

Shen Ye glared at her but didn’t pay her any attention. He then looked at Shen Shimu and curiously asked, “Why do all those people in your circle know that Uncle is getting married? Wasn’t the news not announced yet?”

Shen Shimu replied, “Because your husband sent an email to all the Ye employees through Zong Yiming, and with so many employees, it’s inevitable that someone leaked the news.”

Xu Sisi, who had the most say in this matter, said, “The news of your marriage with Mr. Ye was already trending yesterday.”

Shen Ye was stunned. “…Is that so?”

Xu Sisi said, “You can see it for yourself on Weibo.”

Shen Ye opened Weibo and searched his name, and sure enough, there were marketing accounts that had posted the news of his and Ye Ze’s marriage.

Most of the comments were congratulating them, but there was also a small portion of people gossiping about Ye Ze’s identity.

[“What’s the background of the Ye family? Can someone enlighten me?”]

[“Directions: Link”]

[“I finished reading it. The Ye family is really powerful. So, Master Shen is marrying into a wealthy family? What if Master Shen gets abandoned in the future? Tut tut.”]

[“The one above, are you a hater? My Master Shen is capable enough, he doesn’t need you to worry about him.”]

[“Yeah, even if someone gets abandoned, it should be Young Master Ye who gets abandoned, right? Once Master Shen takes action, the Ye family is done for.”]

[“So, does that mean Young Master Ye is not worthy of Master Shen?”]

As a result, a heated discussion broke out in the comments about whether Shen Ye wasn’t worthy of Ye Ze or if it was the other way around, and it eventually turned into an argument.

Shen Ye was a bit speechless. How did it escalate to this?

Does it matter to the netizens whether he and Ye Ze are a good match or not?

So Shen Ye posted a Weibo post: [“To be honest, in my eyes, my husband and I are a match made in heaven. No one is worthy of my husband except me, and no one is worthy of me except my husband.”]

Once this Weibo post was sent out, it immediately attracted fans and onlookers:

[“Defending their love online. Master Shen is awesome.”]

[“So intense! I’m a fan now!”]

[“Wow, these two are such a perfect match! I’m feeling all giddy like a little girl!”]

[“I can’t handle it. I need to go back and rewatch their previous videos to relish their beautiful and striking looks.”]

However, there were also people making sarcastic comments:

[“Now that I know you’re in a same-sex relationship, are you sure being so high-profile is a good idea?”]

[“Exactly, being so high-profile every time, do you not realize how many young people you’re corrupting?”]

[“Showing off your love so much, I hope you and your husband break up soon.”]

[“…,”]

But these negative comments were quickly drowned out by fans and netizens.

Shen Ye didn’t care about them.

He is simply expressing an attitude. He truly doesn’t care about what others think.

Actually, if it weren’t for someone saying that Ye Ze is not worthy of him, he wouldn’t have bothered to post on Weibo.

He put his phone in his pocket and said to Ye Ze, “Let’s go.”

The girl’s situation must be very dangerous right now, so it’s better to go and check on her as soon as possible.

Ye Ze held his hand and nodded. “Okay.”

Seeing that the two of them were preparing to leave, Xu Sisi was extremely surprised. “You just got married yesterday, and you had your wedding night last night. Aren’t you going to rest today and go out instead?”

“We’re not going out for fun.” Shen Ye sighed and explained yesterday’s situation. 

“If we don’t go find her, she’ll definitely be in trouble.”

He couldn’t just stand by and watch someone lose their life. Otherwise, he wouldn’t want to go either!

“It’s okay. Let’s finish quickly and go back home early.” Ye Ze touched his face and comforted him.

Shen Ye made a sound of agreement. It seemed like that was the only option.

Xu Sisi looked at Shen Ye and smiled. “I’ll make Braised Fish Head with Chili for you. You can have it when you come back.”

She was quite skilled at cooking, and Braised Fish Head with Chili was one of her signature dishes.

The Shen Ye before her eyes was still the kind-hearted young boy she knew. Even though he was now married and had become an adult, his actions and behavior remained the same. She was now like his older sister, so she had to reward him.

Hearing that there would be Braised Fish Head with Chili to eat, Shen Ye’s mood improved a bit.

He held hands with Ye Ze and walked to the courtyard when suddenly he noticed the banners hanging there.

Shen Ye: “…”

Well, his good mood was gone again.

Ye Ze hugged him tightly. “I’ll have the housekeeper take them down.”

After thinking for a moment, Shen Ye said, “Let’s take them down tomorrow.”

The banquet would be held at their home the day after tomorrow, so the banners definitely couldn’t stay up.

Ye Ze looked at him deeply. “Why wait until tomorrow?”

Shen Ye knew that Ye Ze understood his thoughts as a man and smiled mischievously as he hugged his waist. “May you have a blissful night. I think that’s a good blessing.”

Ye Ze chuckled and kissed his forehead. “Alright, then we’ll take them down tomorrow.”

The two of them got into the car, enjoying their sweet moments.

Shen Ye leaned against Ye Ze’s shoulder, watching as the car drove out of the Ye family mansion. He gazed at the sunlight filtering through the lush green leaves onto the windows, and his smile never faded.

The weather was hot, and the sun was strong, but he wasn’t affected at all. His heart was filled with sweetness.

He played with the ring on Ye Ze’s hand and placed his own hand together with Ye Ze’s, overlapping the two rings. No matter how much he looked, it wasn’t enough.

Ye Ze’s gaze was gentle as he lightly held his waist. “Is it still painful?”

Shen Ye shook his head and suddenly turned around, sitting on Ye Ze’s lap. “Uncle, when should we try doing it in the car?”

He hadn’t forgotten about what happened in the car yesterday when Ye Ze suddenly stopped.

Ye Ze reached out and ruffled his hair without saying a word.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you want to?” Shen Ye looked up at him.

The child’s eyes sparkled as if they held the entire universe.

Ye Ze’s Adam’s apple moved slightly, and he hoarsely said, “…Don’t tease me.” Otherwise, he would take care of the kid right now.

Sensing the change in the man, Shen Ye couldn’t help but laugh and leaned closer to kiss him. “I know, let’s take care of business first.”

They could try it on the way back home later.

He thought happily.

Ye Ze didn’t say anything but held his waist even tighter.

After about half an hour, the car, under Shen Ye’s guidance, entered an old residential complex.

The bodyguard who followed them quietly explained, “The rent here is very cheap, and it’s mostly occupied by migrant workers.”

His words had no discriminatory meaning. The fact was that this area hadn’t been demolished because the rent was much lower than the surrounding housing prices. Many migrant workers lived here, and there were even some white-collar workers renting here.

Shen Ye’s tracking talisman indicated that the girl was in Unit 601, Building 18. He immediately headed there with Ye Ze.

Halfway there, he furrowed his brow and exclaimed, “Oh no!”

The life-extending talisman he had placed on the girl yesterday was about to expire, and he could sense that she was in immediate danger.

“We need to hurry over; she might be in trouble,” Shen Ye said to Ye Ze.

Ye Ze nodded and quickened his pace alongside him.

The two of them found Building 18, where the surroundings were dirty and messy. There were electric bikes and bicycles parked below, and garbage piled up in the corner. The hallway was dimly lit, and as they ascended the stairs, the yellow lights above illuminated the mottled, yellowed walls, making the place appear even more dilapidated.

Shen Ye had seen relatively dirty and chaotic environments when he went to the market before, but for Ye Ze, who had always lived a privileged life, it was his first time in such a place. Even the environment in Lishan Village, which they had previously visited, was not as poor.

However, Ye Ze didn’t even furrow his brows and continued walking straight ahead with Shen Ye.

Shen Ye’s pace was fast, but he still found the time to raise the man’s hand and give him a kiss as a reward.

His fiancé… no, his husband now… was truly the best person in the world!

Ye Ze’s eyes and brows curved upwards as he tightly held onto Shen Ye’s hand.

Just as they reached the corner on the third floor, they heard the agonized screams of a woman from above, accompanied by a man’s furious cursing.

“Something’s definitely wrong!” Shen Ye quickly performed a spell from a distance, preventing a worse situation from unfolding.

It was fortunate that the tracking talisman and life-extending talisman from yesterday allowed Shen Ye to have a connection with the girl. He could continue protecting her with the talisman.

They hastened their steps and soon arrived on the sixth floor.

There, they saw the girl from yesterday being grabbed by a burly man, who was pulling her hair and pushing her towards the window. One of her feet dangled outside, while the man continued mercilessly pounding her head. He cursed, “Bitch, try to run! I’ll catch you no matter where you go! You’re my wife, even if you run, I can still find you!”

The girl had been beaten to the point of having a swollen, bruised face, and her eyes were rolling back as if she could be killed at any moment.

Shen Ye swiftly used a talisman on the man.

The man, controlled by the talisman, released his grip on the girl and automatically took a few steps back.

After being let go, the girl couldn’t maintain her balance and slumped against the wall, curling up on the ground. She murmured, “Stop hitting… stop hitting…”

She sobbed, her voice weak as if she had no strength left. It sounded as soft as a mosquito’s buzzing. Her whole body was swollen and covered in bruises, with horrifying marks of strangulation on her neck. Her knees seemed to be broken, which was why she couldn’t stand firmly just now.
