Chapter 197: I'm treating you like a love rival
For someone as reserved and serious as Lu Ye tonight to use such an open and fashionable method to give her a sense of ceremony and officially confirm their relationship, Bai Zhi was honestly very moved.
She could tell that Lu Ye also valued their relationship.
He cares about her a lot.
He took every word she said to heart.
However, Xie Zheng's outburst did affect their mood to some extent.
Bai Zhi was very angry that Xie Zheng was so childish, disregarded the occasion, showed them no respect, and deliberately caused trouble.
She had been so attentive to Xie Zheng's injuries, stitching him up, changing his dressings, and making scar removal medicine for him.
She even kindly reminded him that his arm nerves were damaged, and even though he didn't believe her, she still sincerely reminded him.
But now, faced with her lifelong happiness with Lu Ye, Xie Zheng is so unreasonable, even deliberately spoiling the mood.
She harbored deep resentment towards Xie Zheng.
But on the other hand, she was filled with doubts.
What deep-seated hatred does Xie Zheng have for Lu Ye?
Why has he been targeting Lu Ye?
Even today, when Lu Ye confessed his feelings to her, Xie Zheng still wanted to interfere?
Just as Bai Zhi was pondering this, Ye Qingbai, who was about to leave, seemed to have thought of something.
He turned back and looked at Bai Zhi with a meaningful expression.
"Cousin, why are you looking at me like that?" Bai Zhi asked, puzzled.
Lu Ye told Ye Qingbai to go back, but he not only refused to leave, but also looked at her with that strange gaze.
Is this person deliberately trying to get insulted?
"Brother Ye, I think I understand why that show-off guy was hostile towards you."
Ye Qingbai looked at Lu Ye with an expression of sudden enlightenment.
At this moment, the last thing Lu Ye wanted to hear was Xie Zheng's name.
Seeing Ye Qingbo return, he looked displeased. "Why did you come back so late instead of going home?"
Ye Qingbo remained mysterious, ignoring Lu Ye's dark expression, and said, "Brother Ye, that Xie Zheng guy probably sees you as a rival in love, right?"
Because that man also liked Bai Zhi, it was only when he saw Lu Ye confessing his love to Bai Zhi so tenderly and the two of them becoming boyfriend and girlfriend that it touched his heart.
Lu Ye most likely knew Xie Zheng's thoughts as well.
That's why he deliberately called Xie Zheng over to witness his and Bai Zhi's happy moment.
Hopefully, he will back down when faced with difficulties.
Unexpectedly, Xie Zheng was so provoked that he couldn't accept the cruel reality and chose to ruin his confession ceremony.
By messing up Lu Ye's confession, doesn't that mean he himself has a chance?
Upon hearing Ye Qingbai's words, Lu Ye's already dark expression turned even more grim.
Go to sleep now.
Ye Qingbo felt that his analysis must have hit a nerve with Lu Ye, which was why he reacted so strongly.
To be honest, it's only because his cousin is calm and composed, and has seen the world with his second grandfather, that he's so good at navigating social situations. If it were any other girl, she would be completely captivated by Xie Zheng's flamboyant face.
Their company commander, although he is truly capable, you can't tell that from the first meeting.
He only knows how to give people the cold shoulder.
His cousin is so young, yet she can see through appearances to the essence of things; she's truly remarkable.
Bai Zhi's lips twitched slightly upon hearing Ye Qingbai's words, and her expression turned strange.
Does Xie Zheng see Lu Ye as a love rival?
She didn't realize it.
Although Xie Zheng had been close to her before, it was because of his injuries and the need for her to treat him.
When they first met, he didn't even give his elders any face and completely ignored her.
How could she deliberately target Lu Ye just because she likes him?
She thought that Xie Zheng might be deliberately getting close to her because of her relationship with Lu Ye.
He deliberately got close to her to annoy Lu Ye.
To say that Xie Zheng likes her?
Sorry, she doesn't believe that such a scenario would happen to her.
Even if she were to live a second life, she would not be so confident.
She knew Xie Zheng very well.
He appears carefree and irresponsible, with the demeanor of a playboy.
Actually, that person is very cunning.
However, Xie Zheng mentioned Xiao Wei several times...
Lu Ye had already confessed his feelings to her, but he had never mentioned Xiao Wei's story.
Bai Zhi smiled at Ye Qingbai, who was hiding behind her, and said, "Cousin, you should go back now. Thank you so much for helping Lu Ye organize this ceremony for me today. I'm very happy."
Ye Qingbo was a little confused by her thought process. "Huh?"
"Cousin, are you still happy?"
Bai Zhi shrugged. "Why wouldn't I be happy? Today, Lu Ye and I officially confirmed our relationship. Our feelings for each other have taken another step forward, and I'm very happy."
"As for that little incident just now, it's nothing."
Ye Qingbo saw that Bai Zhi was not downcast at all, and was still beaming with a bright smile.
He finally felt relieved.
Even if Xie Zheng really liked Bai Zhi, he believed it wouldn't affect the relationship between his company commander and his cousin.
They're a loving couple.
Ye Qingbo left with peace of mind.
After everyone left, Lu Ye took Bai Zhi's hand and led her to his room.
The door was closed very solemnly.
"Xiaobai, I'm sorry, it was my fault for not handling other issues well and spoiling your fun."
Lu Ye looked guilty. Bai Zhi put the bouquet on the table, crossed her arms, and looked at him with a calm expression. She said, "You really didn't handle your problems well."
“Lu Ye, whether it’s a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship or a future marriage, I think the most important thing between two people is honesty. Don’t have any secrets hidden from your partner. That seems very insincere, and I don’t need a hypocrite by my side.”
Bai Zhi's expression was more serious and earnest than ever before.
Her tone even carried a hint of threat.
Lu Ye took her hand and hurriedly explained, "Xiao Bai, I didn't mean to hide it, it's just... some old stories are painful to talk about. I don't want to face the past, nor do I want to reopen other people's wounds."
"Oh." Bai Zhi curled her lips, her tone cool. "So you're just going to let Xie Zheng continue targeting you like this?"
"What exactly did you do to offend Xie Zheng that made him hate you so much?" Bai Zhi raised her eyes and looked at him intently as she asked.
Now that she's Lu Ye's girlfriend, she needs to know the truth.
What exactly happened between Lu Ye and Xie Zheng?
Lu Ye met Bai Zhi's gaze and this time did not look away.
He pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed, his tone devoid of any emotion, "It's a long story, sit down first."
Bai Zhi sat down cooperatively, and then gave him no chance to escape, just looking at him and waiting for him to speak.
"I've already briefly mentioned my relationship with Xie Zheng to you before. We're childhood friends. Besides him, there's Chen Laosan, Shen Qian, and... Xiao Wei."
Lu Ye lowered his eyes and began to tell their story, "We grew up together since we were little, and we've always had a good relationship. I'm the oldest, so they all call me 'brother'."
