Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1483 - 1472: Cannon Fodder Big Brother in Classic Romance Stories
Previously on Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life...
When Ye Qiu saw Ye Yanting off, he gave him one last piece of advice: "If you want to gain the Gu Family’s approval, the only path open to you is to work hard and keep improving."
However, this time Ye Qiu turned out to be wrong. He never would have imagined that Gu Wanqin, who hadn’t gotten pregnant in their previous life, would be pregnant this time. No, it was also possible that she had been pregnant in that past life too, but simply never let anyone find out.
Since Gu Wanqin was pregnant and insisted on keeping the baby, there was no point in the Gu Family trying to stop it. They couldn’t possibly let the child be born without a father. Besides, Gu Wanqin had been crying nonstop, and her parents doted on their daughter. How could they bear to let her ruin her health like this during pregnancy?
So the marriage between Ye Yanting and Gu Wanqin was put on the agenda. After all, a child needed a birth certificate when it was born. If Wanqin stayed single while carrying such a big belly, it would only invite more gossip—people would say she had more than just the two brothers of the Ye Family as men in her life, and question why the Ye Family refused to marry her.
Right now the Gu Family felt as if they’d swallowed a fly—utterly disgusted. No matter how much they disliked this son-in-law, Ye Yanting, they could only accept him. They could only hope that, as he himself had claimed before, he would cherish and protect Gu Wanqin in the future.
On the wedding day, Ye Yanting was high-spirited and full of swagger, and Gu Wanqin was radiantly beautiful. Seeing their daughter smiling so blissfully, the Gu Family finally relaxed a little.
What Ye Qiu hadn’t expected was that Nana actually showed up as well. And she didn’t make any big scene; it really seemed like she’d just come to attend the wedding.
In fact, Tan Nana hadn’t planned on coming at first. On one hand, she wanted to give her past life an explanation—watching this pair of lovers finally get together made her truly realize how foolish she’d been before. On the other hand, it was because of Ye Qiu.
Her gaze kept drifting toward Ye Qiu’s back. If she remembered correctly, there would be a heavy rain tonight. On this very night in their previous life, Ye Qiu had gotten into a car accident, ended up a vegetable, and then died less than two years later.
She really wasn’t doing this out of kindness, nor was she trying to be some great philanthropist. It was just that, when she looked at the bags Ye Qiu had given their family and recalled the things he’d said when he tried to straighten out Ye Yanting, she felt that it would be a shame if this man simply died like that.
There was also the fact that if Ye Qiu was gone, wouldn’t the entire Ye Family fall into Ye Yanting’s hands in the future? She refused to let Yanting’s life go so smoothly. As long as Ye Qiu was around, Yanting would never have the right to inherit the Ye Family. Just thinking about that made her happy.
So Tan Nana came. She was determined to stop tonight’s car accident. But because of the things she’d already changed in this life, a lot of events had diverged from what happened before. Today Gu Wanqin definitely wouldn’t be arguing with Ye Yanting and storming off. In that case, would Ye Qiu still go out tonight?
Soon the wedding reached the banquet portion of the evening. The sky had grown overcast, and before long, heavy rain began to pour down. Tan Nana dawdled until the last group of guests had left before driving out of the villa district, then waited outside.
And she really did manage to wait for Ye Qiu. When she saw that familiar car driving out of the compound, she immediately stepped on the gas and cut him off.
"Miss Tan?" Ye Qiu stopped the car and stared at her in surprise. "Is something the matter?"
Tan Nana had been focused only on blocking him and had forgotten to come up with an excuse. Her eyes flickered evasively. "There’s something I want to ask you."
"What is it?" In fact, Ye Qiu had already noticed that something was off with Tan Nana. Being stared at the whole time, it was hard not to notice.
"It’s not convenient to talk here. Let’s find somewhere else to talk."
"All right, then come with me."
Tan Nana hurriedly said, "No, you come with me."
She got into her car and carefully avoided the road where Ye Qiu had had his accident in their previous life. Not only that, she kept her speed very slow along the way, scared that any mishap might happen, and only relaxed once they finally reached their destination.
"A teahouse? If you drink too much tea at night you won’t be able to sleep, you know. Don’t girls all need their beauty sleep?" By now, Ye Qiu had guessed the reason Tan Nana had intercepted him. A softness stirred in his heart. He hadn’t expected that she would deliberately come to save him. As an ’evil supporting female,’ wasn’t she supposed to hate everyone in the Ye Family?
Which just went to show that you couldn’t judge a person only by appearances, and that when someone did something wrong, it didn’t necessarily mean they were rotten at the core; sometimes they’d simply been pushed step by step into that position.
"I was born naturally beautiful. I don’t need beauty sleep." Tan Nana retorted stubbornly.
After the waiter finished brewing their tea and left, seeing that she wasn’t planning to continue, Ye Qiu asked with a smile, "What matter was so important that Miss Tan had to call me out this late?"
Tan Nana rolled her eyes at him. "No one ever told you that you shouldn’t pressure a girl?"
Ye Qiu surrendered and took a sip of tea. "All right, I’ve learned that now."
Time ticked by bit by bit. When he saw her teacup empty, Ye Qiu kindly refilled it for her. It was already late at night, and there were hardly any other customers around. Tan Nana actually felt a rare sense of serenity and quiet. Mainly, it was because being around Ye Qiu felt very comfortable. From time to time he would pour her tea and explain different types of tea to her, which helped her relax.
It was a very strange feeling. There had been very few quiet moments like this in her life. Born into a wealthy family, she’d always been surrounded by people and attention. After she grew up, she wanted to try anything new and exciting, and on top of that, she had thrown herself wholeheartedly at Ye Yanting, so her life had always been hectic. Even after her family ran into trouble in their previous life and moved abroad, she spent every day depressed and blaming herself. It had been a long time since she’d felt this light. To her own surprise, she found herself reluctant to let it go.
Such a relaxed stretch of time passed quickly. To Tan Nana, it felt like she’d only just loosened up, and before she knew it, it was already past midnight—well past the time when Ye Qiu had had his accident before. She quietly let out a breath of relief.
She cleared her throat lightly and said, "Actually, I just wanted to ask you, seeing Ye Yanting and Gu Wanqin married and in love, do you really not care at all? Do you really sincerely give them your blessing?"
Ye Qiu smiled. "Even if I don’t, it’s not like there’s any better way to handle it. No matter what, Yanting is my blood brother. Our relationship can’t be allowed to become too strained. And what’s the point of stopping them? Am I supposed to take Wanqin back?"
"She really doesn’t deserve you." Tan Nana said earnestly.
Ye Qiu topped off her tea again. "Should I be thanking you for the compliment?"
"Aren’t you curious whether I hate your brother and Gu Wanqin? Aren’t you afraid I’ll do something bad to break them up?" Tan Nana couldn’t help asking again.
Ye Qiu looked at her seriously. "To borrow your own words from just now, Ye Yanting doesn’t deserve you either. And I’ve never thought of you as someone who’d do bad things."
Tan Nana was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "Then you’ve probably misjudged me. I’ve never been a good woman."
But Ye Qiu shook his head. "I trust my own judgment. You’re not."
The smile on Tan Nana’s face grew wider. She hadn’t been this happy in a long time. She felt it wasn’t worth it for her past self—and it wasn’t worth it for Ye Qiu either. Ye Yanting and Gu Wanqin simply weren’t worth the two of them giving so much.
