"Huh? That chick isn’t talking trash about ?" Ye Huan leaned seriously against the door, listening to the sounds inside the villa.
In the living room, there was only the crunch of eating chips and the sound of drama on the TV.
Co to think of it, Qin Ya probably wouldn’t be so idle as to be chattering away at midnight, right? Otherwise, isn’t sothing wrong with her head?!
He walked into the villa.
In the living room, Qin Ya was hugging Liu Tianyun, the two won feeding each other chips while watching a cheesy Korean drama on TV, making Brother Huan envious.
But this envy was only montary.
He’s got Zhang Huimin, who could he be envious of?
Ye Huan glanced at the two won, twisted his shoulders a bit as he walked inside to relieve the soreness.
Honestly, fought half a day.
Even with Brother Huan’s great physique, he was quite exhausted.
Acting so laid-back in front of Zhang Huimin was purely out of a man’s pride!
Just wash up and go to bed.
Ye Huan yawned and headed towards the bathroom.
"Hold on."
Qin Ya spoke up, stopping Ye Huan.
This woman speaking up is never a good thing!
Ye Huan’s face darkened, "What’s up?"
Qin Ya didn’t respond directly; she propped her chin with one hand and circled around Ye Huan twice, scrutinizing him from head to toe, repeatedly clicking her tongue.
"Spit it out if you need to," Ye Huan’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Oh my, are you angry?" Qin Ya teased, "Might I ask Mr. Ye what were you up to, coming back so late?"
"How’s it your business?"
"Of course it is." Qin Ya pointed upstairs, "My darling Tianyun asked you to buy a pipe to fix the bathroom. You’ve been gone for a day, let’s not talk about that, but can I ask, where’s the pipe?"
Pipe?
Ye Huan’s mouth twitched.
Goodness, the pipe seems to have been left at the phone store...
Feeling at fault, Ye Huan awkwardly smiled, "Look at my mory, been so busy I forgot, I’ll definitely get it tomorrow. Besides, doesn’t showering in the downstairs bathroom achieve the sa goal? It’s not urgent for one day!"
Qin Ya’s tone suddenly changed, "We’re afraid of catching sothing!"
"Catch sothing? That’s completely baseless!"
"Captain Qin, now, I can’t vouch for much else, but my conduct is top-notch, and my personal life couldn’t be cleaner, absolutely no reason to fear catching anything. You can totally feel safe using my bathroom."
"Tell you what, if you haven’t showered yet, I can run the bath for you? I’ve co to deeply realize my mistake, I’ll definitely buy the pipe tomorrow!"
Ye Huan raised his eyebrows, his tone soft, hinting at so "admission of error," since it was indeed his oversight.
Qin Ya crossed her arms and let out a cold laugh, "Top-notch conduct? Clean personal life? I beg to differ."
"Rest assured, I can guarantee it a thousand tis over!" Ye Huan’s words were firm and stirring, but it only brought a sarcastic smile to Qin Ya’s lips.
"Then, tell , what kept you so busy that you’re back so late?"
"Busy with..." Ye Huan felt a bit guilty.
Couldn’t possibly say he spent the better half of the day deepening his relationship with the one he loves?
Need a different excuse, right!
Different excuse!
"Ahem." Ye Huan cleared his throat, looking very earnest, "I was negotiating a multi-billion project..."
"Multi-billion?" Qin Ya burst out laughing.
But not in joy, rather full of sarcasm.
"Multi-billion? Must have been a woman you were negotiating with?" Qin Ya mocked, "Ye Huan, you’re quite the cultured one, huh."
"Of course..."
As soon as he said that, Ye Huan covered his mouth.
Forgot Qin Ya was experienced and could catch onto such dirty jokes.
Ye Huan turned his head, speaking righteously, "Captain Qin, you better not slander . How could I possibly neglect proper work to do such things in broad daylight?"
"If you really weren’t doing anything shady during the day, then explain who left so many love marks on your neck?" Qin Ya raised her long, elegant leg, looking amused.
Neck? Love marks?
Ye Huan’s mouth twitched.
Indeed, he and Zhang Huimin had both left their respective marks on each other.
Ye Huan recalled Ye Bingning’s strange look at him!
She was definitely puzzled by the hickey on his neck, but then thought of his "glorious achievents" overseas, so she wasn’t surprised and didn’t ntion it!
Damn!
"What’s wrong, cat got your tongue?" Qin Ya sneered.
Ye Huan couldn’t refute.
"It’s a mistake for my precious Tianyun to marry you. Ye Huan, you have such a beautiful wife and you don’t cherish her, instead you go looking for won outside? You’re impossible!" Qin Ya crossed her arms and reprimanded him with a face full of disappointnt.
She rembered Ye Huan’s status: the "big brother" Liu Tianyun longed for!
She still wanted to bring the two together, after all, Liu Tianyun had waited for him for so many years, and if they could end up together, it would be just like those enviable love stories in Korean dramas.
She had said bad things about Ye Huan before, just to lower Liu Tianyun’s expectations, to prevent her from realizing that Ye Huan was her "noble big brother" and be unwilling to accept it when it was completely different from her imagination.
"Ye Huan, I’m warning you, break up with those won outside!" Qin Ya was furious, glaring at him.
"What’s it to you?" Ye Huan stared directly at Qin Ya, his face very unpleasant, his eyes growing colder.
The words "those won" upset him to the extre.
Qin Ya shivered, feeling a chill rise from within her.
This jerk... where did he get such a strong presence?
Illusion!
Yes, it must be an illusion!
Qin Ya bit her lip, speaking earnestly, "I’m doing this for your own good. My precious Tianyun is better than those won in every way, isn’t she?"
"What’s it to you?"
"You... Are you a broken record, only repeating that one line?!" Qin Ya steadied herself, yet still felt a pang of unease from Ye Huan’s gaze.
"Enough, I said I won’t interfere with what he does outside, and I don’t want to ddle. That’s it, it’s late, let’s go to bed." Liu Tianyun said calmly, stopping Qin Ya from speaking further, then turned off the TV and pulled her upstairs.
As she brushed past Ye Huan, she didn’t even glance at him.
Ye Huan was quite accustod to this way of interacting with her.
He looked at Qin Ya with a still frosty gaze, "Mind your own business!"
"I don’t even want to interfere!"
"It’s really a case of a dog biting Lu Dongbin, not recognizing a good person’s heart!"
Qin Ya cursed repeatedly.
Back in the room, she buried herself in the covers, sulking.
What attitude is this? I’m clearly trying to help you two!
Qin Ya felt indignant inside.
"Click." Liu Tianyun turned off the lights and crawled into bed as well.
"Tianyun, do you really not care about Ye Huan’s ’affairs’?" Qin Ya hugged her, asking softly.
Liu Tianyun shook her head indifferently, "I don’t care, I don’t like him anyway. Besides, we’re just in a contract marriage, I don’t want to waste energy on those things."
"But have you ever thought..." Qin Ya sighed, "If he were your ’big brother’..."
Before she could finish, Liu Tianyun covered her mouth, threatening, "He can’t be, if you say that again, we’re through!"
"Fools!"
Qin Ya angrily cursed in her heart, spitefully smacking Liu Tianyun’s face twice, then closed her eyes.
Two hours later, Qin Ya was already asleep, breathing steadily.
Liu Tianyun kept her eyes open, staring hard at the ceiling.
She couldn’t sleep, feeling a tightness in her chest.
The mont she saw the hickey on Ye Huan’s neck, she felt so blocked up inside, very uncomfortable.
She was sure she didn’t have any romantic feelings toward Ye Huan but didn’t know why she felt this way.
Big brother?
Maybe it’s because they really do look alike, so she rged their images together...
Liu Tianyun let out a deep sigh, trying hard to erase that ridiculous thought from her mind, how could Ye Huan be "him"?
Never mind, just hold on for two more years, then divorce him!
She shook her head and closed her eyes.
Another hour passed before she finally fell asleep under the heavy wave of sleepiness.
What she didn’t know was...
One day in the future, she would deeply regret this temporary marriage agreent...
But that’s a story for another day...
