Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1476 - 1465: Cannon Fodder Big Brother in an Old-School Romance Novel
Previously on Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life...
Emotion surged in an instant, and when the two came out of the cinema, their expressions were somewhat abnormal; Ye Yanting’s face showed interest and a sense of wanting more, while Gu Wanqin was more at a loss and ashamed.
She kept secretly scolding herself for being indiscreet, as she was already engaged, and Ye Qiu treated her so well. Yet she secretly did things beyond normal relationships with his younger brother.
Ye Yanting walked ahead, unaware of her unease. Perhaps dining as a couple and watching a movie gave him courage, as he eagerly suggested, "Shall we go for a walk by the river later? I heard there will be fireworks there tonight."
"Yanting." Gu Wanqin called out to him as if she had finally mustered some courage, "We overstepped today. This is wrong, you should go back, and I should go too. I think we shouldn’t meet alone anymore from now on."
Her words instantly darkened Ye Yanting’s expression, and he stared at her intently: "What do you mean? Do you want to act like nothing happened today?"
"That’s right." Gu Wanqin replied with firm determination.
"You’re delusional." Ye Yanting grabbed her wrist forcefully, "We kissed and embraced today; do you want to cleanly brush it off? What do you take me, Ye Yanting, for? Your lover?"
Gu Wanqin turned her head in embarrassment, whispering, "But I’m your older brother’s fiancée."
"Then tell him clearly that we two are truly in love, and you can break off the engagement."
"No," Gu Wanqin shook her head, "He’s your brother; how could you hurt him like this? Would a brother really put a green hat on his sibling? How would your brother feel then? Besides, your brother has invested so much emotion in me, I can’t let him down."
"So you can let me down?" Ye Yanting roared angrily.
Gu Wanqin could only keep shaking her head and apologizing: "I’m sorry, Yanting, really sorry, we can’t hurt your brother like this, let it be, while we haven’t made too many mistakes."
"You..." Ye Yanting was extremely infuriated, speaking rashly, "You look down on me, don’t you? You despise me for not being as capable as my brother and for not inheriting the family business like him?"
"No, don’t think like that." Gu Wanqin shook her head and cried, struggling hard against Ye Yanting’s hand, which restrained her wrist, nearly collapsing.
"Then what makes you reluctant to leave my brother? Is it because his kissing skills are better than mine?" Just thinking about Ye Qiu possibly doing many things with Gu Wanqin, Ye Yanting became insanely jealous. Ignoring Gu Wanqin’s wishes, he embraced and kissed her aggressively, and Gu Wanqin’s tears flowed even more fiercely, even entering Ye Yanting’s mouth.
Feeling the bitterness in his mouth, Ye Yanting’s heart felt even more bitter. He paused his forceful action, burying his head deeply in her neck, wanting to angrily ask the heavens why they were being toyed with like this.
"If that’s what you want, then I’ll try my best to avoid you in the future." Ye Yanting said coldly, then released Gu Wanqin, giving her a deep look before turning to leave.
Without his support, Gu Wanqin crouched down weakly, her tears-blurred eyes watching Ye Yanting’s retreating figure, feeling that fate was mocking them. But they couldn’t continue this way; better the pain come swiftly and end quickly, and slowly, they’ll forget this feeling. She couldn’t do anything to betray Ye Qiu.
Seeing Ye Yanting return at dinner time, Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow in surprise; hadn’t these two seized the time to deepen their relationship? Why return so early? A complete waste of the time he had specially created.
As Ye Qiu was about to ask something, he sensitively detected Ye Yanting’s hostility towards him. Could it be that the two had fallen out? Thinking of the original world’s plot where the male and female protagonists misunderstood each other back and forth, Ye Qiu felt a little headache.
He deliberately said, "How was your outing? Did you take Wanqin home?"
"Yes," Ye Yanting replied coldly, then placed the camera on the dining table and walked away, "Here are the pictures you wanted."
Seeing him act so rebellious, especially when Ye Qiu spoke to him kindly, yet Ye Yanting responded with indifference, grandma got angry too. Taking the family atmosphere into account and Ye Qiu’s pleasing act of serving her dishes, she restrained herself, though she became increasingly displeased with her younger grandson, glaring fiercely at her son and daughter-in-law, feeling they hadn’t taught him well; after all, Ye Qiu grew up by her side and turned out brilliantly.
Ren Zhen felt somewhat aggrieved as her younger son was very obedient and adorable as a child. She didn’t understand why he grew increasingly alienated as he got older. Besides, in their family, it’s quite satisfactory if a child who can’t inherit the family business doesn’t commit any crimes; why does her mother-in-law always compare the two children?
"I’ll go check on him," Ye Qiu said with deep consideration, "Maybe he encountered something today, but from his appearance, it shouldn’t be anything major, so don’t worry too much."
"Alright, go," the family head, Ye Zhiliang, nodded, increasingly satisfied with Ye Qiu, who didn’t grow up with him.
Ye Qiu gently knocked on Ye Yanting’s room door, and Ye Yanting answered irritably from inside, "I’m not having dinner."
"It’s me," Ye Qiu said softly, "Yanting, can I come in?"
"What’s up?"
Seeing that he didn’t refuse, Ye Qiu gently opened the door: "I noticed you seem unhappy; did something happen between you and Wanqin today? Tell me; maybe I can offer some advice."
Seeing his gentle and warm smile, Ye Yanting recalled Gu Wanqin saying that Ye Qiu was so good, that they couldn’t hurt him.
Indeed, seeing his brother show such concern, Ye Yanting truly couldn’t say anything bad about him, yet he felt extremely uneasy. Now Wanqin is still his brother’s fiancée, but today he... he’s let his brother down.
Perhaps Wanqin was right; they shouldn’t be like this, shouldn’t let his brother down; ending it early is good, so his brother wouldn’t be hurt.
But why does his heart hurt so much? If only his brother didn’t love Wanqin, it would be easier to break off the engagement. After all, whoever marries into the family is the same; he’s a Ye family son too, he’s just as capable.
But there’s no ’if,’ facts remain facts, he should face them bravely instead of always evading them; evading only deepens the harm for all three of them.
"It’s nothing, brother, nothing happened." Ye Yanting managed his emotions and said, "I just walked a lot today and I’m a bit tired, want to rest early."
"Really nothing?" Ye Qiu asked, his tone meaningfully deep, "I’m your brother; you can tell me anything, unless it’s illegal, brother will forgive you."
