Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1486 - 1475: The Cannon Fodder Big Brother of an Old-School Romance Novel

Tan Nana gazed at the photo, lost in thought. So she could show such an expression too? Why? Why hadn’t she noticed it at the time? And why didn’t it feel abnormal?

"Tell me the truth, who is he? What’s the situation between you two? How far have you progressed?" Her friend’s probing questions continued to bombard her, leaving Tan Nana even more conflicted.

"He’s really just a neighbor, I only asked him to help carry some things for me." She responded uncomfortably.

Her friend took another approach: "What did you guys have for dinner? And where did you eat? Strange, isn’t there a delivery service at the mall? It’s one thing to ask him to carry stuff, but why would a neighbor be willing to just follow your orders?"

Tan Nana thought, yes, why would Ye Qiu let her join him for meals? Why would he willingly help her carry things?

Her friend continued messaging: "I think you not only like him, but he’s definitely interested in you too."

"Nonsense," Tan Nana refuted her, "He has someone he likes."

"You didn’t deny that you like him; see, I guessed it right!" Her friend said triumphantly, "Normally, you’re not this timid, aren’t you afraid after being hurt by Ye Yanting once? So what if he has someone he likes? They’re surely not together, otherwise how would he have time to keep you company? Listen to me, since he’s not rejecting you, you absolutely have a chance."

"Enough, we can’t be together." Tan Nana turned off her phone, feeling somewhat annoyed and repeatedly asked herself, had she really fallen for Ye Qiu? Why? When did it start? Ye Qiu clearly wasn’t her type, why did she feel a fondness towards him?

Is it because being with him feels comfortable? Or perhaps it’s because Ye Qiu is good at chatting and caring for others? Or is it because his cooking is delicious?

Yes, it must be that, it’s because his cooking is delicious, how could she like him? He’s Ye Yanting’s brother! Plus, doesn’t he like Gu Wanqin?

He’s helping her just to atone for his brother’s mistakes, wasn’t it like that when Ye Yanting made her angry? He brought a bag to apologize to her on behalf of Ye Yanting?

Yes, that’s certainly it, how could someone as outstanding as Ye Qiu possibly like his younger brother’s ex-girlfriend? His care for her is merely out of sympathy.

For some reason, although Tan Nana found a reason, she wasn’t particularly happy. She lay down on the sofa, feeling lost, thinking repeatedly, if only Ye Qiu genuinely liked her. Having lived one life already, she no longer craves a passionate love; she only desires something comfortable and serene.

But anyone could be her boyfriend, except Ye Qiu. Otherwise, what would it look like?

The younger brother marries the elder brother’s fiancée; then the elder brother dates the younger brother’s ex-girlfriend. Wouldn’t people laugh if it goes public?

In the days that followed, Tan Nana deliberately avoided Ye Qiu. Due to Ye Qiu’s regular lifestyle habits, they really didn’t see each other for a while.

However, that day, just as she opened her door, she saw Ye Qiu standing at the door ready to knock. She asked a bit awkwardly, "Is there something you need?"

Ye Qiu’s expression was normal: "Yesterday my grandmother returned from the hometown and brought some local dishes. I’ve just finished cooking, would you like to eat together?"

His door was open, and Tan Nana could already smell the aroma, with her stomach rumbling, but she still resisted and declined: "No need, I have plans with friends today."

Ye Qiu nodded: "Alright then, it’s late, be safe outside, call me anytime if anything comes up."

"Okay," Tan Nana closed the door, and then watched Ye Qiu turn away, but couldn’t help but ask, "Why are you so nice to me?"

Amidst her uneasy emotions, Ye Qiu smiled and answered, "Aren’t we friends?"

"Just friends?"

"And neighbors?" Ye Qiu looked at her, "Have you been going through something lately? You look distracted."

"No, it’s just that there are things I can’t figure out."

"Seems like you haven’t remembered what I’ve told you."

"What thing?"

"Life is too short, try not to let worries trouble you, do what you want. You’re the Eldest Lady of the Tan Family, what else is there to worry about?"

It was as if a light bulb went off in Tan Nana’s head; she looked at Ye Qiu with bright eyes: "I understand now."

She said, walking directly into Ye Qiu’s house, just like before, tossing her bag onto the sofa and went to serve some rice.

"You’re not going out? Didn’t you say you had plans with friends?"

Tan Nana grinned at him: "Food is still more important, let them wait for a bit."

"So you figured it out?"

"Figured it out." Tan Nana nodded, "You’re right, life is short, we should enjoy it while we can. There’s nothing to be afraid of."

What she didn’t say was that she had already lived one life. It was so bitter last time; this time, it’s hard enough to cut ties with Ye Yanting, why not live as she pleases? Why shouldn’t she be with Ye Qiu? What do others’ opinions have to do with her? It was Ye Yanting and Gu Wanqin who made the mistake first. Why should she take the blame for their betrayal?

Just let others be jealous, if she misses out on such a wonderful man like Ye Qiu, where could she find another one?

As for whether Ye Qiu still likes Gu Wanqin, Gu Wanqin has married and had children, and Ye Qiu has no chance with her, nor is there any possibility of being together anymore. Instead, she has the advantage of proximity; if she doesn’t take initiative, will she watch other women march in?

Tan Nana gleefully ate the meal, thinking to herself, what a shame it would be if she could never enjoy such delicious food again. Just for this skill alone, she has to make this man hers.

"What are you thinking about that suddenly makes you so happy?" Ye Qiu asked puzzledly, he felt like Tan Nana was looking at him with a different gaze.

"Let me ask you, after Gu Wanqin and Ye Yanting got married, did you think of finding another girlfriend? Do you still have feelings for her?"

"She’s already my sister-in-law, I’ve long let it go. Why are you suddenly asking this?"

Tan Nana giggled: "Just curious about what kind of girlfriend you’ll look for next."

"Never thought about it, just going with fate."

"Isn’t there a standard? Your grandmother must be urging you, and as long as you don’t have a girlfriend or aren’t married, it must feel awkward when you go home. Maybe with Ye Yanting’s bad temper, he’ll suspect whether you’re rekindling old feelings with Gu Wanqin."

Ye Qiu put down the chopsticks and looked at her: "Why are you suddenly so curious about my romantic affairs? Planning to introduce someone to me?"

"That’s right." Tan Nana took a deep breath and then asked, rather nervously, "How do you think I am?"
