Throughout the dinner, even Ye Xingguang was too distracted to enjoy her meal. She found the world of political families too cruel, where everything, including marriage and love, could be sacrificed. They were even willing to marry Tang Zhou off to a man.
Although Tang Zhou was more beautiful and delicate than most girls, and she couldn’t help but call him “Duchess” in private, still…
After dinner, Ye Xingguang took an opportunity. She couldn’t resist anymore and pushed open the door of the study where Ye Junqing was working.
Ye Junqing was very serious and focused at work. Hearing her footsteps, he didn’t raise his head, only said, “Do you have something? Wait till I’m finished.”
Ye Xingguang saw that the entire room was full of bookshelves, so she walked over, picked out a book, and sat down to read for a little while.
By the time Ye Junqing finished his work, an hour had passed. He looked up to find her sitting beneath the orange light of the lamp, and her face was illuminated in a way that made his heart soften. He leaned back in his chair for a moment, quietly admiring her as she sat under the lamp, reading.
Feeling a steady gaze on her and frozen in place, Ye Xingguang reluctantly lifted her head, “Are you done now?”
“Hmm, come here.”
Ye Junqing massaged his temples. The fever had subsided today, but his cold symptoms hadn’t completely disappeared.
Ye Xingguang closed the book, placed it back on the shelf, and walked to him, across a table’s distance. She said, “Why were you so stubborn today? It’s clear that your brothers don’t agree with Tang Zhou bringing Leng Chenmo home. If you do this, aren’t you afraid of provoking their wrath? Is your eldest brother’s position as president more important than Tang Zhou’s lifelong happiness?” noveldrama
She didn’t know whether she was asking this for Tang Zhou or for herself. Ever since Xia Yanyan posted on social media, she had felt uneasy all day.
Ye Junqing’s eyebrows flicked, “If you don’t understand, don’t ask randomly.”
“I do understand. Aren’t you just afraid of the media focusing on Tang Zhou’s situation? With your brother’s power, among all the presidential candidates, he has the most advantage. Even if Tang Zhou refuses, it will have a hardly influence on your brother’s election.”
Ye Junqing didn’t want to explain the real reason, and simply threw out a phrase, “Haven’t you heard of the saying ‘an ant hole can cause the collapse of a thousand-mile-long embankment’?”
Ye Xingguang wasn’t pleased and glowered at him, “So, for political purposes, personal happiness is not important? Even if it means letting a man marry another man? Tang Zhou isn’t even gay, how can you be so indifferent to his personal happiness?”
If that’s the case, she really isn’t interested in such a man. Although, this man isn’t interested in her either. Being with her is also for political reasons!
This woman, normally she didn’t have a deep relationship with Tang Zhou. But now it seems that she was standing up for him, was it because Tang Zhou regarded her as the love of his dreams, his first love?
Ye Junqing’s voice became heavier: “The system shows that his sex is female, what’s wrong with marrying him to a man? If the state can do it, it means there’s no problem. How can I be disregarding his personal happiness? Many matched couples ended up together in the end. Why can’t he just try it? Maybe it’s the best choice for him.”
Moreover, considering Tang Zhou’s abnormal body, who other than Leng Chenmo would be willing to marry him, or which man would want to marry him?
