"I heard you broke up with Ye Shuang?" Ye Qing didn't mention Huang Fei, but brought up Ye Shuang first.
While asking this question might be a way of testing Huang Yu, Ye Qing also had her own considerations. Ye Shuang had already taken the initiative to come to Ye Qing and talk about cooperation, so she would definitely come a second time.
Ye Qing wasn't entirely against cooperating with Ye Shuang; she just didn't quite trust her.
If Ye Shuang is certain that he has no ulterior motives, then Ye Qing is not opposed to cooperating with him, after all, business is business.
Therefore, the first thing to do is to understand Ye Shuang's current situation, which will help Ye Qing to judge Ye Shuang's purpose, etc.
So Ye Qing started talking to Huang Yu, beginning with Ye Shuang.
Huang Yu nodded: "We've separated."
After saying that, thinking about Ye Qing's relationship with Huang Fei and Ye Shuang, Huang Yu quickly explained, "Actually, Ye Shuang and I don't have the kind of relationship you're thinking of."
"What kind of relationship are you thinking of?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.
Seeing Huang Yu's awkwardness, Ye Qing could roughly guess Huang Yu's mindset. And to be honest, no matter what the relationship between Huang Yu and Ye Shuang was, it was not something Ye Qing could say. The reason Ye Qing asked this question was for his own sake.
Seeing that Huang Yu might have misunderstood her, Ye Qing directly told him the purpose of her question: "I'm asking you this not to stand up for anyone, but about you and Huang Fei... I've also heard Huang Fei talk about your relationship, so strictly speaking, even if there was something between you and Ye Shuang, it happened after you broke up with Huang Fei."
"Then you..." Before Ye Qing could finish speaking, Huang Yu asked his question.
"I asked Ye Shuang because Ye Shuang approached me about a collaboration. My relationship with Ye Shuang wasn't good before; we were practically enemies."
The reason our relationship is slightly better now is only because we cooperated on Yang Zi's matter some time ago, as you know. But even though we cooperated, because of the previous grudges, I still want to assess Ye Shuang's attitude. Of course, asking you this might be a bit of a privacy issue.
But now you probably know about the complicated relationship between me, Huang Fei, and Ye Shuang. If Ye Shuang is thinking of revenge or something, I have to be careful..."
Huang Yu roughly understood Ye Qing's meaning. He said, "Ye Shuang and I separated peacefully. There were no arguments or disputes. So if I'm not mistaken, Ye Shuang's collaboration with you is purely for business purposes."
Ye Qing generally doesn't trust other people's judgments, except for Xi Quan. So when Huang Yu said that he judged Ye Shuang to be purely business-minded, Ye Qing couldn't say he didn't believe him at all, but he also didn't have any doubts.
Just as she was wondering if Huang Yu's words were credible, Huang Yu said again, "Ye Qing, you and Huang Fei seem to have a good relationship now, right?"
Ye Qing neither confirmed nor denied Huang Yu's words, but simply asked indifferently, "So what?"
“So…” Huang Yu’s hands clasped together involuntarily, and he found it difficult to speak.
Looking at Huang Yu like this, Ye Qing wondered if Huang Yu wanted her to have a good talk with Huang Fei and then help them reconcile?
But to everyone's surprise, Huang Fei said, "I hope you can persuade Huang Fei to find someone to date and get married properly..."
"What?" Ye Qing frowned, finding it hard to believe what he was hearing.
Does Huang Yu mean he has no intention of getting involved with Huang Fei?
What about everything Huang Fei did before?
“You heard right. I hope you can persuade Huang Fei to focus on dating and marriage instead of getting entangled in relationships that will never work out.” Huang Yu hesitated a bit when he first said it, but seemed to have overcome his previous reservations when he spoke again.
Ye Qing frowned and stared at Huang Yu, somewhat confused about Huang Yu's meaning.
Because of his upbringing, Ye Qing was quite adept at reading people. From Huang Yu's expression, Ye Qing could tell that Huang Yu wasn't saying this out of any ulterior motive or to make himself feel wronged; he genuinely hoped that Ye Qing could persuade Huang Fei. He truly cared about Huang Fei.
This was something Ye Qing found hard to understand.
Thinking back to how Huang Fei had gone so far as to reveal her background in order to be with him, Ye Qing didn't quite understand what Huang Yu meant, so he couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Do you know about my past with Huang Fei? Or has she told you about it?
Ye Qing nodded first, then shook his head. What Huang Fei said didn't seem to touch on any key points.
Seeing Ye Qing both nodding and shaking her head, Huang Yu said, "I've always treated her like a younger sister, and I really haven't had any other thoughts. But at that time, she... everyone knew she liked me. If I strongly denied our relationship, it would only make her situation at home more awkward."
Actually, I knew about her background. I knew she wasn't her parents' child because I was a little bit old when she was brought home. Later, I overheard some adults talking and confirmed her background. So, after learning about her feelings, I tried to like her too. But... feelings are something you can't control.
So even though I knew about her background, I didn't tell her. I thought that would make her give up, but... even though we broke up later, it seems she never gave up.
Ye Qing couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement; she never expected that Huang Fei and Huang Yu would be like this.
After a long silence, Ye Qing asked, "Does Huang Fei know about your feelings? Or does she know that you don't actually like her?"
“She knows, I told her, and that’s why we drifted apart. But ever since I ran into her in your neighborhood, she seems to… she thinks that if I can be with someone else, why can’t she? She seems to have become stubborn again, and I really don’t know what to do.”
Ye Qing never expected that Huang Fei, who seemed so Buddhist, was actually so stubborn or even obsessive!
Ye Qing had one question: "If you don't like her, why did you invest in her agency? And as far as I know, you told Xi Quan you wanted to reconcile with Huang Fei. What does it mean that you're saying this now?"
Huang Yu glanced at Ye Qing, but before he could say anything, Ye Qing seemed to sense Huang Yu's dilemma and continued, "If you're having trouble, then there's no need to say anything. If you truly have no feelings for Huang Fei, I will naturally try to persuade her. But frankly, I'm very puzzled by your current actions. On one hand, you say you have no other feelings for Huang Fei, and on the other hand, you've broken up with Ye Shuang. If I were Huang Fei, I would wonder if you want to reconcile. If you don't intend to reconcile, then your decision to break up with Ye Shuang... Of course, no one has the right to judge your own feelings..."
Ye Qing's words were somewhat incoherent, and the more she spoke, the more she felt that Huang Yu's actions were truly unacceptable.
