Chapter 213 Now I Dare
The whole room was silent, and everyone looked at Ye Yan'an in surprise.
Everyone knew that he was cold towards Rong'er, but it was really rude to oppose her so blatantly in person.
"Ye Yan'an, you stinky boy!"
With an angry shout, the teacup flew towards Ye Yan'an. Ye Yan'an screamed in pain and covered his forehead.
With a "bang", the teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
"If I don't beat you to death today, I won't be called Luo Qiuyue!"
Luo Qiuyue pounced on Ye Yanan across the table.
Zhao Xingjian quickly stood in front of Ye Yan'an, "Yan Ping's mother, don't get excited! Let's talk it over nicely!"
"Master, get out of the way. I have nothing to say to him. He deserves a beating!"
Ye Yanping and Yunniang came over and held Luo Qiuyue back, "Mom, don't get yourself hurt by being angry!"
"All of you, get out of the way! I've been putting up with him for so long!" Luo Qiuyue was so angry she was gasping for breath. "He doesn't allow me? Why doesn't he allow me? He wants to meddle in my affairs too? Did I provoke him by adopting Rong'er as my adopted daughter?"
Ye Yan'an walked out from behind Zhao Xingjian and knelt on the ground.
His forehead was hit by the teacup, leaving a big bump, and his face was wet with tea. "Mom, please listen to me!"
"What else do you want to say? What good words can come out of your dog's mouth?"
Luo Qiuyue was about to rush over to hit him again, but Ye Buwei grabbed her arm. Luo Qiuyue angrily said, "Old Ye, you want to protect him?"
Ye Buwei sighed softly, "Qiuyue, let him finish what he is saying."
Ye Buwei always spoke concisely and seldom used interjections, and this "ma" directly confused Luo Qiuyue.
"Okay." Luo Qiuyue glanced at Ye Buwei.
Since this is the first time you've acted like a spoiled child to me, I'll give you some face.
Luo Qiuyue sat down and said, "Ye Yan'an, go ahead and speak, but let me warn you first, if you dare to say anything nonsense again, I will never forgive you!"
"Father, Mother, Master." Ye Yan'an knelt on the ground, like a soldier ready to die. "The reason I said what I just said is because—I! I can't accept the person I like as my sister!"
"What?!" Everyone's expressions were wonderful.
"I said, I! Like! Rong'er!" Ye Yan'an said loudly, emphasizing each word.
The moment he said this, he was suddenly not afraid anymore, and felt as relieved as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart.
No matter what the outcome is, he can accept it calmly.
"The reason I acted indifferent towards Rong'er is because I knew I wasn't worthy of her and I had low self-esteem! The closer I got to her, the more I liked her! I could only deliberately keep my distance from her. I didn't dare reveal my feelings because I was afraid of being laughed at! I didn't want Rong'er to stay away from me because she was afraid of me. I wanted to see her every day!"
Rong'er let out a moan, covered her face with her hands and buried her face between her knees, wishing she could crawl into the crack in the ground.
"This...this..." Everyone was shocked and speechless.
"Cucu, you're awesome!" Little Dumpling gave Ye Yan'an a thumbs up.
Ye Yan'an received the little dumpling's encouragement and continued, "I had originally intended to keep this love of mine a secret deep in my heart forever, but I realized my foolishness had hurt Rong'er! Now that things have come to this, I can't care about anything else. From now on, you can beat me, scold me, kill me, or cut me up, Dad, Mom, and Master, please do as you please!"
"Ahem..." Zhao Xingjian came back to his senses from the shock, "Yan An, get up first. What's wrong with liking someone?"
"Master, you don't blame me?" Ye Yan'an glanced at Zhao Xingjian secretly.
But I found that the teacher didn't seem angry at all, and his face was smiling? He looked very happy?
"Why should I blame you?"
"Master, don't you blame me for wanting to eat swan flesh?" Ye Yan'an said with embarrassment. "I'm just a farmer, without any achievements. My love for Rong'er is inadvertent and beyond my capabilities!"
Zhao Xingjian: “…”
Zhao Xingjian didn't know what to say.
He could only glance at Ye Buwei.
Ye Buwei said slowly, "Yan An, there's no need to be so self-deprecating."
Ye Yan'an's nose felt sore, "Dad, but our family is not worthy of the Master's family!"
"What a fool." Luo Qiuyue glanced at Ye Yan'an with disdain. "You're so worldly at such a young age. I don't know where you learned this!"
Ye Yan'an lowered his head, not daring to speak. Luo Qiuyue picked up a peanut and threw it at him, "Look at you! It's just a small matter, and you're still kneeling? Get out of here!"
Ye Yan'an got up from the ground and sat on the stool like a child who had done something wrong.
"Master, why don't we settle this matter?" Ye Buwei said.
"Yan Ping's father!"
The surprise came too suddenly, and Zhao Xingjian's facial muscles trembled with excitement. "How dare I climb up to such a height!"
"I didn't expect the Master to be so worldly." Luo Qiuyue curled her lips. "Let's not talk about the past. We're all ordinary people. What's the point of marrying up? But, aren't you going to ask Rong'er's opinion?"
Rong'er had already sat up, her hands clenched tightly together, her face so red that it seemed like water was about to drip out.
Zhao Xingjian suppressed his inner excitement and said, "Rong'er, there are no outsiders here. Tell me the truth, do you want to be the daughter of the Ye family, or the daughter-in-law of the Ye family?"
"Daddy!" Rong'er covered her face, feeling so embarrassed that she was about to cry.
"Okay, I already know the answer." Luo Qiuyue smiled, "Does the Master agree?"
"I agree!" Zhao Xingjian blurted out excitedly.
He couldn't ask for more!
"Then let's go to the main house to discuss it?" Luo Qiuyue said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, we need to discuss it!" Zhao Xingjian stood up.
"Mom, should we find a matchmaker first?" Yunniang asked with a smile.
"That's why we need to discuss it. Let's go, let's go together!" Luo Qiuyue picked up the little dumpling.
"Brother, be thick-skinned!" Ye Yanping patted Ye Yan'an on the shoulder before leaving.
In an instant, everyone in the room left, leaving only Ye Yanan and Rong'er sitting there in a daze.
The candlelight flickered and all around was quiet, with only the faint sound of laughter coming from the main room.
"Rong'er..."
"Brother Yan An..."
The two of them looked up at the same time and spoke at the same time.
Ye Yan'an blushed, "Rong'er, you speak first."
Rong'er suppressed her shyness and looked up at Ye Yan'an, "Does your forehead hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." Ye Yan'an felt a sweet feeling in his heart, "Rong'er, are you not angry with me anymore?"
"I do want to be angry," Rong'er said softly, "but I dare not, because you are so silly. If you misunderstand me again, I will be the one who is sad..."
"Rong'er, I'm sorry. I was too cowardly and made you sad." Ye Yan'an regretted it deeply. "I really didn't know you liked me too. If I had known, I wouldn't be so sad every day, and I wouldn't have made you sad too."
"I...when did I say I like you?" Rong'er lowered her head.
"Rong'er, as long as you don't hate me, that's all." Ye Yan'an curled his fingers nervously. "Rong'er, I really like you. There's not a single moment when I don't miss you. I hope to be with you every day."
Rong'er's heart skipped a beat, and her face turned even redder. "You... now you dare."
"Actually, I still don't dare. I've never confessed my feelings to anyone before, and I'm so anxious that my heart is about to jump out of my throat." Ye Yan'an covered his chest with his hand, his heart pounding wildly. "But if I still don't dare, those readers will keep scolding me. I'm afraid of being scolded."
