Ye Yun was choked by the words and almost couldn't control his emotions. But after listening to Chen Changli's words and thinking about them carefully, he realized how misleading his reaction was.

"I never meant that. You misunderstood."

Having said this, Tu Zhizhi's experience flashed through his mind, and a strong hatred welled up in his heart, but he did not show the slightest bit on his face, lest Chen Changli take the opportunity to target him.

"To prevent others from talking behind your back and making you feel confused and have to compromise for Wan Shufang, I have kindly told you all these things."

"It would be fine if you don't want to accept my kindness, but why do you want to wrongly accuse me?"

Ye Yun said this, but there was a hint of temptation in his eyes as he looked at Chen Changli.

Chen Changli seemed to sense something, frowned and said: "Your good intentions are really frightening. Even though I know you have good intentions, I still have to be on guard."

Hearing him emphasize the word "good intentions", Ye Yun felt that he was being ridiculed and his face darkened.

After a moment, he smiled and said, "Are you worried that something might happen to Wan Shufang, so you are wary of every word I say?"

"Although I intend to cause you some trouble, so that you will be exhausted and reveal some flaws."

"But you are carrying a powerful weapon like Phoenix Gu. I will not be cruel to you before I help Your Highness get the Phoenix Gu."

"You know this yourself. I thought there was a tacit understanding between us, but I didn't expect that this tacit understanding was a unilateral misunderstanding on my part."

As he spoke, his face showed melancholy, but his tone seemed to take a detour, containing a hint of a smile.

"Wan Shufang is very important to you. You and your wife made us realize this a year ago. I thought you really cared about her, but I never thought that your care would be greatly discounted."

He had wanted to say this before, in order to test how much Chen Changli cared about Wan Shufang.

Unexpectedly, Chen Changli was extremely vigilant and doubted every word he said.

He had to say this at this time to disrupt Chen Changli's thoughts.

However, Chen Changli had already guessed his thoughts. When he heard these words full of sarcasm and ridicule, his eyes were extremely calm and his tone was also very cold: "My husband and I are both grandparents."

"This feeling can't be described as good or bad. After all, the feelings between a man and a woman have long since turned into a deeper family bond when their children and grandchildren surround them."

"You laugh at me for not being sincere enough to my wife. Do you think your parents are still entangled in love affairs at their old age?"

He is already 36 years old this year. If calculated based on the life span of an ordinary person, in two or three years, his eldest granddaughter will be getting married.

If the eldest granddaughter and her husband have a good relationship, maybe in four or five years, he and Wan Shufang will become great-grandfather and great-grandmother, with four generations living under the same roof.

Seeing that in a few years, they might have four generations living under the same roof, Chen Changli and his wife naturally would not show their affection in front of outsiders.

However, they didn't expect that their reservedness would be seen as a sign of bad relationship by outsiders with ulterior motives, which was worthy of them taking advantage of and sowing discord between them.

"It's because you got married too early that you seem incompatible with us." Ye Yun was shocked by the words grandparents.

Later, I realized that Chen Changli had not received any education from an aristocratic family, so he got married and had children in his teens like an ordinary citizen.

You should know that men from aristocratic families only look for women after they reach adulthood, and then get married and have children.

So when they were in their thirties, the men from these prominent families had children who were barely able to support themselves, but Chen Changli, who was the same age as them, had already become a grandfather.

"What a misfit." Chen Changli immediately agreed with a smile, and then squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "But anyone can find out about my situation by asking around, how come you don't know?"

After saying this, without waiting for Ye Yun to respond, Chen Changli asked in a serious tone: "Ye Yun, are you really loyal to the Eighth Prince?

Ye Yun was so angry that his chest rose and fell: "I can't let you question my loyalty to the Eighth Prince here."

"Then you cannot speculate or belittle my feelings for Wan Shufang." Chen Changli responded in a firm tone.

Ye Yun was furious, but his voice was much softer: "You are absolutely right. How can outsiders like us speculate or question your relationship?"

"I said the wrong thing just now. I apologize to you, Chen Changli. I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive me."

Ye Yun knew clearly that he would be in trouble if he continued talking, so he suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart and apologized to Chen Changli in a serious manner.

Seeing that he was flexible, Chen Changli's eyes slashed across his face like a knife and asked coldly, "Who is gossiping in your ear? Why do you let me talk about our relationship like a gossipy woman?"

His words were extremely sarcastic. Obviously, he accepted Ye Yun's apology, but he still wanted to have the upper hand in words.

Seeing that he was getting more and more aggressive, Ye Yun sneered in his heart and deliberately let his anger burst out in a low voice: "Who do you say is a gossip? Chen Changli, don't think that you can do whatever you want just because I bow my head."

Chen Changli was innocent and frank: "I didn't do whatever I wanted. You just made random guesses and slandered me without any evidence."

Chen Changli emphasized the word "slander" and took a deep breath. However, for some reason, his chest still felt stuffy.

When he thought about it carefully, he felt that Ye Yun had been talking to him for a long time without getting to the point, which made him feel suffocated.

After rubbing his fingers gently for a while, Chen Changli sighed slightly and said, "Is the dispute between you and me the intention of the Eighth Prince? Or do you want to test me, so you waste your time in front of me."

"What are you going to do after the time is wasted? You can't ask me to go see my wife, right?"

When talking about meeting Wan Shufang, Chen Changli felt a sense of anticipation in his heart, but his face remained expressionless.

"If my wife is ill, I would really like to go see her so that I can take care of her and help her get well soon."

"But you said before that she was suffering from a mental illness and had awakened. I don't think you and the Eighth Prince would be so kind as to let me see her at this time."

Hearing him change the subject, Ye Yun raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Do you really want to see Wan Shufang?"

Chen Changli looked at him and sighed, "You told me so many things, isn't it just to make me show such expectations in front of you?"

Ye Yun wanted to say something after hearing this, but swallowed it back and said casually, "You won't be able to see Wan Shufang today."

Chen Changli smiled and said, "So I can see her tomorrow."

Seeing his smiling face, Ye Yun's eyes flashed, and a sneer flashed across the corner of his mouth: "I will bring her and Mrs. Sang to see you tomorrow, so you have to rest well today, otherwise you can't stand it for too long tomorrow and make Wan Shufang worried."

After hearing this, Chen Changli hesitated for a moment and said, "Have you confirmed that it will be tomorrow?"
