Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1484 - 1473: The Cannon Fodder Big Brother in an Old-Fashioned Romance Story

After finishing a pot of tea, Ye Qiu stood up: "Let’s go, I’ll take you home."

"I drove here, no need to see me off," Tan Nana refused.

Ye Qiu was insistent: "It’s too late, it’s not safe for a girl like you to be out alone. I’ll just follow behind your car."

"Alright then." Tan Nana nodded helplessly, thought for a moment, then drove towards the city center. She had heard that Ye Qiu was not staying at home anymore, which was why he came out from the Ye Family villa tonight. Even though the incident had already passed, just to be safe, she headed to the city center. After all, she had an apartment there too.

But to Tan Nana’s surprise, her apartment turned out to be in the same building as Ye Qiu’s current residence, even on the same floor. Ever since she was reborn, she wanted to always be with her family, so she hadn’t stayed there and hadn’t run into him. She didn’t expect such a coincidence.

"I had no idea we were neighbors!" she exclaimed, "What a coincidence."

"See you tomorrow, neighbor." Ye Qiu waved to her, "Thank you for the tea today."

Looking at his warm smile and broad back, Tan Nana felt a momentary loss. She immediately doubted her judgment—why in her past life was she only focused on that scumbag Ye Yanting, but couldn’t see the goodness in a man like Ye Qiu? A man like Ye Qiu is the kind who is good for family life, isn’t he?

Fortunately, such a good man has been saved by her this time. If he had ended up with the same fate as in the past life, it would have been a pity. Gu Wanqin, not knowing true feelings, nor who would benefit in the future, Tan Nana shook her head and returned to her room. However, she drank too much tea and couldn’t fall asleep.

After Ye Yanting and Gu Wanqin got married, they initially wanted to move out, but because she was pregnant, it was better to have people at home to take care of them, so they continued living with the elders, although they stayed at the Gu Family house every other week because Mr. Gu was not assured.

It was okay at the Ye Family home—even if Grandma Ye Qiu didn’t like this granddaughter-in-law, considering her pregnancy, the Old Lady didn’t say anything. Ren Zhen treated her like a treasure, so their days at the Ye Family home were peaceful.

But once they went to the Gu Family house, the atmosphere between the young couple inevitably became tense. Mainly because Mr. Gu never approved of Ye Yanting. After the marriage, seeing Ye Yanting still as unambitious as before, he looked down on him even more, often finding faults with him.

Ye Yanting was a proud and ambitious young man. Fortunately, he loved Gu Wanqin deeply and was willing to endure for her—otherwise, he would have confronted him directly. Still, the oppressive atmosphere couldn’t be hidden once he returned to their room.

"Dad is just worried about me; don’t be angry, okay?" Gu Wanqin softly consoled.

"I’m not angry," Ye Yanting said, hugging her back. "I just feel a bit stifled, a bit resentful of myself for not being successful, for not earning your dad’s approval."

"Take things slowly, everything will be fine. You’re working hard now, aren’t you? Someday dad will see that, Yanting, don’t lose heart. We’re already together, all the major obstacles are behind us, what else can’t we overcome?" Gu Wanqin was truly content now. She married the man she loved and was pregnant with his child, feeling that life was complete. She didn’t mind some rumors outside.

But what she didn’t understand was a man’s pride, especially when her father always loved comparing her husband to her ex-fiancé. Ye Yanting could endure for her temporarily, but could he endure for a lifetime? No man could endure such comparisons, especially when he was indeed less capable than Ye Qiu.

Ye Yanting resented himself for not being as capable as his elder brother Ye Qiu, resented his father for taking away his inheritance rights, and resented his father-in-law for not only giving him no help in his career but also constantly undermining him.

So one day, when Ye Qiu returned home to accompany his grandmother, he unexpectedly found Ye Yanting and Gu Wanqin coming back from the Gu Family house, both looking upset. Something must have happened, since according to previous habits, they should have been at the Gu Family house at this time.

To avoid awkwardness, since Ye Yanting and Gu Wanqin got married, Ye Qiu always calculated his return visits to avoid them, but this time he ran into them.

Gu Wanqin’s belly had already grown big, yet she anxiously followed behind Ye Yanting trying to soothe him. She stopped speaking once she noticed Ye Qiu.

Seeing Gu Wanqin’s embarrassment, Ye Qiu voluntarily said to his grandmother: "Grandma, let me accompany you for a walk outside. I noticed someone feeding fish by the lake when I arrived—we can also bring some fish food over."

Grandma patted his hand and sighed: "You’ve been wronged."

Her four words were crystal clear, and Gu Wanqin naturally heard them, making her face even more unnatural. Thinking about how she and Yanting had wronged Ye Qiu, yet here he was, avoiding them despite his rare return, she felt a pang of guilt.

Back in their room, seeing Ye Yanting with a cold expression, Gu Wanqin felt somewhat exhausted but still gently advised, "Yanting, can’t you tolerate it a bit for my sake? Dad is just like that, he cares about me deeply."

"Does his care give him the right to insult me? I completed that project according to his requirements, but what did your dad do? He kept nitpicking and even lowered my profit. Does he understand how humiliating that is? Your dad does this on purpose. I know he always looked down on me, thought I was unworthy of you, that his ideal son-in-law would always be my brother." Ye Yanting shouted furiously. He had been suppressing his feelings for too long, and today he couldn’t hold back any longer.

Gu Wanqin didn’t know what to do. She knew how hard Ye Yanting had been working and understood her father’s criticisms came from his love for her. She understood Yanting’s hardships but also her father’s good intentions, leaving her feeling stuck.

"Yanting, just for me and our child, can you endure a little longer? I’ll talk to dad about it. He just wants you to grow up quickly to take on the responsibility of the head of the family. I’ll tell him not to be so aggressive in the future." Gu Wanqin advised gently.

"Endure, endure. How long have I been enduring since we got married? What more do you want from me?" Ye Yanting replied impatiently.

Gu Wanqin froze, "Yanting..."

Perhaps realizing his harsh tone, Ye Yanting turned around to hug her, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to take it out on you, I’m just very troubled, the pressure has been too much lately. My brother is so excellent, no matter how hard I try, I can’t measure up to him."

"It’s okay," Gu Wanqin patted his back, "I’m here with you, as long as we’re together, we’ll face anything without fear."
