Lin Feng and Duan Ye exchanged a glance. Although they were separated by a screen, for some reason, they felt a little awkward.
Lin Feng spoke first: "Alright, that's enough chatting. Don't forget to pick us up tomorrow night."
"good."
After saying just a few simple words, Duan Ye hung up the phone first.
Duan Ye stared at his phone, somewhat lost in thought. He hadn't expected that, even though they were both girls, he would feel inexplicably jealous. He couldn't help but find it a little funny.
The room already had the feel of a newlywed couple. On their bedside table was a huge wedding photo, one that Luo Qingyuan loved. Just by looking at the photo, you could see the love in each other's eyes.
When the photoshoot was being done, the photographer said, "The husband and wife look very much in love."
Duan Ye remembers clearly that Luo Qingyuan replied with a smile, "We not only look loving, but we are actually very loving."
Duan Ye's heart was warmed by Luo Qingyuan's bright smile.
In just one year, Duan Ye's life has undergone earth-shattering changes.
The past seems to have become something very distant.
Just as Duan Ye was looking at the wedding photos, Aunt Yang came upstairs and knocked on the door.
Duan Ye snapped out of his thoughts, opened the door, and saw Yang Li.
Duan Ye found it strange that Yang Li would come up at a time like this.
But Yang Li didn't leave Duan Ye wondering for long before she spoke directly: "Sir, Miss Ye has arrived."
Duan Ye didn't react for a moment: "Which Miss Ye?"
Duan Ye asked the question, but then noticed that Yang Li's expression was complicated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't. Duan Ye immediately understood: "I know, where is she?"
Yang Li: "I led Miss Ye to the back garden."
Yang Li dared not let Ye Nuan into the house. After all, there were many guests and servants in the house besides Duan Ye. Most importantly, there were countless surveillance cameras in the house, and she did not want to upset the young lady on the eve of the wedding.
Yang Li believed that Mr. Duan would know what was appropriate, so she came to inform him in person.
"Sir, Miss Ye said she came here to discuss important matters."
Duan Ye originally planned to have his mother take the person away, and he wouldn't show up himself, but who knew...
"She said she sent you many messages, but you kept blocking her, so she had no choice but to come here."
Yang Li repeated every single word Ye Nuan had said.
Thinking of the Jiang family, Duan Ye turned back from his journey: "I understand. You can go down now and bring some tea to the pavilion."
Yang Li agreed and then withdrew.
Duan Ye casually threw on a coat and went downstairs.
In the back garden, in the pavilion.
Ye Nuan sat there quietly, her body as slender as ever. The only difference was that she had put on light makeup today, which made her complexion look much better.
Duan Ye quickly walked over, carried by the evening breeze. Ye Nuan subconsciously stood up, her eyes showing an unease she had never felt before.
Duan Ye pretended not to see it and sat down opposite Ye Nuan: "Sit down."
Ye Nuan's originally calm heart began to boil like water the moment she saw Duan Ye.
Duan Ye cut straight to the point: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Ye Nuan lowered her head, concealing the myriad emotions in her eyes. She took a deep breath and was about to speak when Yang Li approached: "Sir, the tea is here."
Duan Ye responded, and Yang Li personally poured a cup of hot tea for the two of them before leaving. However, she did not go far and waited not far from the pavilion.
Ye Nuan's gaze was somewhat unfocused; it seemed like it had been a long time since they had sat down face-to-face and had a proper conversation like this.
Duan Ye didn't rush her. As long as Ye Nuan was in a normal, communicative state, he wouldn't be so harsh on her.
Ye Nuan picked up the hot tea in front of her with trembling hands and took two sips. After calming down, she slowly said, "Actually, there has always been someone by my side, from the time I was admitted to the hospital until now."
Duan Ye paused for a moment while drinking his tea.
Ye Nuan continued, "There are several groups of people I don't know about, but there's one group that you know about, right?"
Duan Ye remained silent.
Yes, he knows.
Luo Qingyuan told him that back then.
Ye Nuan gave a bitter laugh. Despite wearing beautiful makeup, her face was still rather pale.
She said, "You don't need to be so wary of me, why bother?"
Duan Ye didn't say anything.
Given the situation back then, which escalated to the point of suicide, how could we not take precautions?
Ye Nuan seemed to have anticipated that Duan Ye would not answer, so she continued, "Jiang Jingchuan is with me."
Duan Ye suddenly stood up, and just as he turned around, Ye Nuan said, "But they're gone now."
Duan Ye turned around abruptly, his eyes fixed on her like a hawk's: "Why are you only saying this now?"
Ye Nuan: "I'm being monitored all the time, what am I supposed to say?"
Duan Ye calmed down and sat back down. By this time, he was already quite overwhelmed.
Ye Nuan: "I came here to tell you that Jiang Jingchuan has been trying to sabotage your wedding. He won't give up until he achieves his goal. He will definitely show up at your wedding, and I am just a pawn in his game."
"To be honest, Duan Ye, I really don't want to get involved in the conflicts between your aristocratic families anymore. I... am a little tired."
"I was too extreme and overconfident back then. Now I just want to finish my studies, get a job, and live an ordinary life. I'm tired of living in constant fear."
