Chapter 645
“Am I not polite enough to her? You have no idea how arrogantly she’s been behaving recently. On my birthday she tried to steal my older brother, I buy a diamond and she wants to steal it, even when I try to form connections in the music industry she tries to compete with me. Even during an engagement proposal, she tries to steal my thunder! I have never been so wronged in my life!”
She doesn’t know if she’s met her nemesis, and what’s even more frustrating is that her adopted father is actually the Crown Prince of Country S. How can that little White Lotus lead such a charmed life? Even Master Huixian praises her for being blessed with good fortune and having the ability to bring good luck to her husband and children. Xia Yanyan doesn’t even know where to vent her anger!
At this moment, Ye Xingguang had not left the state banquet hall yet. She walked over to Yi Yujian and hugged her: “Sister-in-law, congratulations.”noveldrama
“Thank you.”
After their hug, Yi Yujian looked at the diamond ring on her ring finger, and considering the hot searches on Weibo, she put a lot of thought into her words: “Don’t take everything on Weibo too seriously. I’ve never seen my younger brother harboring any secret affection for Xia Yanyan. Initially, I wanted to set them up, but my younger brother simply doesn’t seem enthusiastic about it. He might just like The Mermaid simply for what it is.”
“I know, sister-in-law, don’t worry, I won’t overthink it.”
...
The Mermaid-themed park is a project that Ye’s Group has been working on for several years. Now she truly believes that she is the heartless little rascal in someone’s talk, but she just can’t agree with the story he has manufactured. Oh well, she shouldn’t take everything too seriously.
How could one not be greedy when someone clearly loved her before she even stepped into his life? He hid his affection in the Mermaid-themed park, in the ceiling of the bedroom, and in the Mermaid swimming pool… If these were not enough, then she must be too greedy.
Yi Yujian was still worried that she would overthink things. Seeing the hints on the Weibo map, any woman in her position would be unable to stay calm. Yi Yujian herself definitely wouldn’t be able to, so she felt obliged to add a few more words:
“Last time when his older brother fell sick and was hospitalized, netizens paired you up with Ye Shiting. My younger brother was immediately unhappy. He was even jealous of his brother! He openly expressed his dislike for Xia Yanyan in front of his brothers in the hospital, asking everyone not to have any unnecessary thoughts. He also declared that the only woman for him is Ye Xingguang!”
“Really?” A small smile of delight spread across Ye Xingguang’s face.
That guy really was a big jealous pot. She hadn’t wronged him.
After saying goodbye to Yi Yujian, Ye Xingguang went out. Ye Junqing was helping Ye Shiting see off a few important guests at the entrance, and she waited by the side. Seeing him standing out among a crowd of people, cracking jokes and laughing, once he finished his work, she was already counting sheep beside him.
Ye Junqing took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders, pulling her into his arms. He ordered Xiao Yun to bring the car over, and then helped her into the car. By the time they left the President’s residence, it was almost half past ten.
Ye Junqing had drunk quite a bit and his neck was red. As he sat in the car, he forcefully loosened his tie and pulled her into his arms. On smelling the alcohol, she tried to push him away in disgust, but his eyes darkened and he forcefully held her tighter.
His hot palm moved along her thin dress, making Ye Xingguang’s heart pound. She tried to stop him in a low voice: “What are you doing? We’re in the car, there are people around.”
Despite Ye Junqing’s imposing arms denying her any chance of escape, he talked with his face close to hers, his voice just beside her ear, as unrestrained as he was usually restrained. His reason was straightforward: “I think I drank too much, so I just want to hold you.”
