Huo Jingyuan's gaze was as cold as frost. He glanced at Jiang Ye and, seeing her approach, spoke slowly, "While I've never hit a woman, if you take another step closer, I might just break my own rule."
Hearing Huo Jingyuan's cold voice, Jiang Ye froze. She looked at him with aggrieved eyes and said, "What's so good about Wen Ci? Back in the village, she was probably…"
Before she could finish, Huo Jingyuan struck.
Hitting a woman was an incredibly unmanly thing to do.
But Huo Jingyuan couldn't tolerate it. Jiang Ye was slandering his wife right to his face. If he just stood by and took that, he wouldn't be a man.
Jiang Ye, having been slapped, stared at Huo Jingyuan with wide eyes. She immediately clutched her right cheek. "You… you actually hit me?"
In her mind, Huo Jingyuan was a polite and dignified high-ranking officer. She never imagined that this great, upstanding man would actually hit a woman!
