"Brother Yi, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else? I'm Zhi Qiu, Zhi Qiu! Not Xiang Wan. Could it be that you actually like me? Then why did you marry my sister?"
The excitement and joy in Xiang Wan's eyes were no different from Ye Zhi Qiu's usual reaction; of course, her sadness and disappointment were also genuine.
"My sister and I are the closest. She always gives me whatever I want. But not this time. She's my own sister! How can I have any relationship with Yi-ge, who's about to become my brother-in-law, that goes beyond friendship? I can't, and neither can you!"
Xiang Wan made the above decision with great pain and struggled to get away, but Zeng Yi did not let go.
"Ye Xiangwan, how long are you going to keep up this act?"
Zeng Yi's anger escalated, completely destroying his image as a refined gentleman.
This is so interesting. In his past life, he drove the original owner crazy, but in this life, he's putting on this act. Who is he trying to fool? Does he want Xiang Wan to believe in his deep affection so he can steal her away at the wedding?
"Brother-in-law?" Xiang Wan's voice trembled with fear. "Brother-in-law! I've already told you I'm Ye Zhi Qiu. My sister is still lying there. What do you want?"
"Keep pretending!"
Zeng Yi stared intently at Xiang Wan, then suddenly pressed his body against hers, wanting to kiss her.
Xiang Wan suddenly exerted her strength, shoving him away and kicking him between the legs. These days, even the snake wants to take advantage of her, and even her targets of revenge want to take advantage of her. Is she some kind of hot commodity? Why does everyone want to take advantage of her?
Zeng Yi quickly retreated, and Xiang Wan's foot only brushed against his hand that was blocking his way. Of course, this was also the result of Xiang Wan not really intending to make a move.
"Zeng Yi, haven't you gone crazy enough? I'm not my sister, who will tolerate being wronged. Try laying a hand on me again, and believe me, I'll make sure your Zeng family loses all face today!"
Xiang Wan raised her chin dismissively, her aura of unassailability surging, as if she were ready to tear off all pretenses at the slightest provocation.
Zeng Yi paused for a moment, then a smile gradually appeared in his eyes, and his gentle demeanor returned. However, the words he uttered were extremely unpleasant.
"No matter who you want to be, whether it's Ye Zhi Qiu or Ye Xiang Wan, as long as you have her appearance, even if it's ruined, I won't let anyone have the chance to lay a hand on you, including her!"
"Zeng Yi, haven't you gone crazy enough?"
“You say I’m crazy, then go ahead and be crazy. You and I are the same kind of people.” Zeng Yi said to himself, not caring whether Xiang Wan wanted to listen or not. “On the surface, you seem knowledgeable, polite, calm, and composed, but only I know that deep down you are actually resentful. You tolerate Ye Zhi Qiu time and time again, which seems like you love your younger sister, but you just want to spoil her, watching her do the things you want to do but dare not do, and say the things you want to say but are unwilling to say. I used to wonder how long you would keep tolerating this, whether you would tolerate it for a lifetime.”
The more curious I became, the more I wanted to see your other face. Until later, my dreams were filled with you—outspoken, unrestrained, vivid, with laughter, anger, and scolding all written on your face, which eventually all transformed into a look of forbearance and tolerance.
I so want to tear off your mask and let you be the person I dream of. Countless times, I've hinted and suggested, just to get you to look at me a little longer, but you always remain indifferent, showing me not a single emotion that crosses any line.
Later, the thought of you becoming someone else's bedmate, and other men continuing to admire the true emotions behind your mask, drove me crazy.
Since you've been tolerating your sister all this time, wouldn't it be better if she tore off your hypocritical mask herself?
She's very perceptive and obedient; I only need to give her a slight hint, and she'll push you down.
Zeng Yi kept smiling, seemingly unconcerned, as if these things were insignificant to him.
"You really fell down, disappearing without a trace. It was only then that I realized life was utterly meaningless without you. So I told Ye Zhi Qiu that the only person I would marry was Ye Xiang Wan."
Look, with the fake Ye Xiangwan appearing, I feel a little relieved and I no longer dream about you. Destruction might be the best ending! You shouldn't have appeared! As long as you're around, I can't suppress the demons within me, constantly thinking about how to make you reveal your true colors.
You've unleashed the malice within me, so prepare to become my captive, Ye Xiangwan! As long as I live, you will never escape my grasp.
Beneath her refined exterior lay a hideous and ugly soul, sending chills down Xiang Wan's spine. She couldn't fathom how such a person could exist in this world, so determined to fight another to the death.
"Zeng Yi, I want to ask you, why does it have to be Ye Xiangwan?"
Zeng Yi pondered for a moment, then tilted his head innocently and said, "When I was three, you called me 'brother' in your soft, sweet voice. When I was ten, you wanted the toy but had to reluctantly give it to Ye Zhi Qiu. When I was fifteen, you looked at Ye Zhi Qiu with such tenderness and helplessness... There are so many examples. I've realized that your existence is solely for the purpose of seducing me. Now, I'm deeply in love, and you can't escape either!"
A madman, a complete madman! How could a normal person have such thoughts?
"So, you got married just to find someone who looks the same as you, someone you can manipulate at will?"
"Hmm, I've noticed that you've completely shed that annoying mask since you came back this time, which makes me want to keep you even more." Zeng Yi said, looking Xiang Wan up and down, then glancing at Ye Zhi Qiu lying on the sofa, a mad glint in his eyes. "Tell me, if you were the one who married me, and she were Ye Zhi Qiu, wouldn't that be perfect?"
This person is truly insane; to actually want to switch their identities here is utterly delusional.
Xiang Wan shifted her feet slightly and said sarcastically, "Zeng Yi, I am the apple of the Ye family's eye, Ye Xiang Wan's own sister. How can I allow you to act recklessly?"
"It's all the same whether I marry someone or not. If I break off the engagement at the last minute and want to marry you instead, what can the Ye family do to me?"
"That depends on whether you have the ability!"
With that, Xiang Wan exerted her strength and sprinted towards the door.
Zeng Yi rushed towards Xiang Wan, but Xiang Wan used her inner strength to dodge him, opened the door a crack, and slipped out.
Ye's parents were discussing something not far away when Xiang Wan ran quickly towards them, shouting as she ran, "Daddy, Mommy, my sister is awake!"
Mr. and Mrs. Ye hurried over to Xiang Wan, just as Zeng Yi appeared. He blinked, as if nothing had happened, and said, "Uncle and Aunt, you've come at the right time. Xiang Wan isn't sleeping well, so I'd like Zhi Qiu to do me a favor and get a blanket to cover her up."
"Oh dear, look at my memory, I completely forgot to get something for Xiang Wan to cover herself with. You're so thoughtful, Zhi Qiu, go with your brother-in-law and get a blanket."
Xiang Wan hurriedly said, "Mommy, my sister is already awake, so there's no need to cover her up. Besides, it's almost time, and we need to touch up her makeup. You don't want my sister to walk down the aisle like this, do you?"
"Oh, right, let's go in quickly."
The group walked inside, and Zeng Yi glanced at Xiang Wan with an aggressive look before following them in.
Xiang Wan was walking at the back when, just as she was about to enter, a hand suddenly reached out, pulled her aside, and dragged her to a corner where few people passed by.
