Perhaps it was Ye Qiu’s words that had an effect; afterward, Tan Nana spoke less, and Ye Yanting also stopped getting angry at every turn. The dinner finally went smoothly without any incident.
After the meal, Ye Qiu offered to send Gu Wanqin home, while Ye Yanting remained seated on the sofa. Ren Zhen said, "Why are you still sitting here? Either take Nana out for a walk or send her back early to rest."
Ye Yanting replied irritably, "I’ve been drinking, can’t drive, and it’s not like she doesn’t have a driver. Let the driver pick her up, wouldn’t that be easier?"
Tan Nana pouted without saying a word; she just wanted Ye Family to see that Ye Yanting had wronged her, so they shouldn’t blame her for seeking revenge.
"Then let me send her. Sister-in-law, do you mind?" Ye Qiu spoke gently, with eyes full of apology.
Looking at this considerate and gentle man, Tan Nana couldn’t bring herself to voice any difficulties. She didn’t understand Gu Wanqin—why didn’t she cherish such a good man as Ye Qiu and instead chose to provoke Ye Yanting?
"Thank you, big brother." Tan Nana didn’t say goodbye to Ye Yanting. If she weren’t trying to vent some anger, who would want to have anything to do with this scoundrel?
In the days that followed, Tan Nana would go out of her way to find Ye Yanting, intentionally provoking him until he was furious, yet he had no way to deal with her—after all, he had become her boyfriend out of spite.
She would also look for Gu Wanqin, deliberately mentioning Ye Yanting in front of her, making Gu Wanqin very uncomfortable. Tan Nana felt secretly pleased; people with a normal mindset would see this as a future sister-in-law’s closeness, only those with a guilty conscience would find it unsettling.
But to Tan Nana’s surprise, a week later, she received various bags sent by Ye Qiu, along with an apology letter saying he’d taken up Ye Yanting’s time and repeated what was said that day.
She set aside the apology letter uninterestedly; everyone knew the truth about whether Ye Yanting was genuinely busy or not. This was nothing more than Ye Qiu clearing up his brother’s bad temper as a good elder brother should.
Tan Nana felt it was not worth it for Ye Qiu; he was treating Gu Wanqin with such gentleness and consideration, trying so hard to restore his brother’s image, yet what about those two? Had they ever thought about him?
In the past life, right after Ye Qiu’s car accident, the two couldn’t wait to be together. It was said they had him pushed to their wedding scene to witness as a vegetative person; wasn’t that ridiculous? Tan Nana guessed Ye Qiu, in his previous life, didn’t die from severe bodily function decline due to the accident but was exasperated to death by those two.
The next month marked the Ye family’s grandmother’s eightieth birthday. The Ye Family was flourishing at this time, so Ye Zhiliang decided to host a grand event. The day was filled with guests since their daughter was the youngest Ye Family son’s girlfriend; hence Tan Family parents were invited by Tan Nana.
Perhaps due to today’s occasion or because Ye Zhiliang educated him earlier, Ye Yanting’s conduct was impressive today, making the originally unsatisfied Tan Family parents nod in agreement.
However, Tan Nana felt somewhat unstable; she knew a major event would happen today—it was during her previous life when she was crazed against Gu Wanqin, and Ye Yanting intentionally revealed it to provoke her. What did he say back then? Something like he hadn’t wronged her; her pestering was the reason. He and Gu Wanqin were together since his grandma’s eightieth birthday.
What he meant by "being together" wasn’t publicly announcing their relationship; otherwise, subsequent events wouldn’t have happened. What he referred to should be the kind of thing that happened between them.
Tan Nana hesitated about whether to expose these two shameless people today. If she didn’t expose them, it would be unfair considering the suffering she endured in her past life. If she did, the Ye Family would inevitably hate her.
An elderly person’s eightieth birthday, with her youngest grandson and future eldest daughter-in-law involved—the elderly person couldn’t possibly accept that, right? Wouldn’t it be overwhelming, possibly causing... and what about Ye Qiu? Would he be saddened or lose face?
Two little figures were fighting in Tan Nana’s heart; ultimately, she convinced herself it wasn’t her fault—it was all Ye Yanting and Gu Wanqin’s fault. If they truly cared about their image or family, how could they do such a thing on this day?
She wasn’t wrong; she was also a victim. Was she supposed to continue swallowing her indignation? That she could not do!
Ye Qiu was the acknowledged heir of Ye Family, always busy hosting guests, so he hadn’t noticed Tan Nana’s abnormal behavior.
"Why aren’t you clinging to big brother today?" Ye Yanting approached Gu Wanqin, speaking in a sarcastic tone, "Haven’t you been very close lately?"
"You’ve been drinking." Gu Wanqin wrinkled her nose, "Today is grandma’s eightieth birthday; stop acting crazy."
"I’m acting crazy?" Ye Yanting sneered, "In your heart, I’m just a lunatic, aren’t I? Falling out of love so swiftly? Can’t part with big brother’s tender embrace? Or is it that his kissing skills are better than mine?"
"You’re drunk." Gu Wanqin said angrily, then stepped back, intending to leave.
Seeing this, Ye Yanting couldn’t let her go. Seeing her obediently staying with his brother all this time had driven him almost insane, and using Tan Nana to provoke her hadn’t worked. How could he not feel anxious?
He didn’t want to wrong big brother; he once thought about letting go, too—but who can say with certainty about matters of the heart? He couldn’t let go, nor would he allow her to let go—why should he suffer alone?
Ye Yanting took Gu Wanqin by the hand and led her to the small courtyard behind. Not wanting to attract attention, Gu Wanqin followed him. Unexpectedly, behind the courtyard was a ladder usually stored away; Ye Yanting led her up it into his room.
From a distance, Tan Nana watched this coldly, timing it. Given their dithering and shoving personalities, it would probably take a while. If she were to act, she’d make sure it counted.
"What exactly do you want?" Gu Wanqin shouted in anger.
"I miss you." Ye Yanting suddenly sounded aggrieved, his hoarse voice filled with exhaustion and longing as he held her.
Gu Wanqin’s heart softened suddenly. He hadn’t let go, and neither had she. All this time, she’d merely forced herself not to look at him. Seeing Tan Nana constantly around him—didn’t that pain her?
"Why did you accept Tan Nana? And why did you willingly become her boyfriend?" Unable to hold back, Gu Wanqin asked, unleashing the jealousy she’d felt these days.
Ye Yanting smiled wryly, "To spite you. Who told you to upset me?"
"Hmph!" Gu Wanqin bit his shoulder.
Ye Yanting’s throat moved. He caressed her exposed back, jealous, "Who told you to wear something so revealing?"
"It’s just a dress."
"Is that so? I think you wore it out of jealousy to seduce me," Ye Yanting smirked mischievously, then unable to resist, leaned in to kiss her.
