Watching the three little ones hopping and skipping about, Yi Tianran's eyes softened. Perhaps the one thing she regretted least back then was giving birth to twins and choosing to keep Huaihuai!
Fortunately, they were treated well by Fu Yunchen's side; he was a responsible father, unlike Yi Hai...
Thinking of Yi Hai, I can't help but recall his words from earlier: "I won't give him the chance to take everything that belongs to you."
His tone and manner were so certain, as if he had already foreseen the outcome.
At that moment, Yi Tianran felt a sense of foreboding.
"Ah Chen, I have to go out for a bit. You don't need to wait for me." She turned and said this to Fu Yunchen before disappearing in a flash.
She sped all the way to Yi Zhe's current residence, quickly went upstairs and knocked on the door.
The doorbell rang incessantly, but there was no response for a long time.
Her patience was wearing thin; her eyes narrowed, and she was about to kick the door open.
At the critical moment, the door was opened from the inside, and Yi Zhe said incredulously, "What are you trying to do, you rude woman! Even thieves aren't as brazen as you."
If he hadn't seen what was happening outside through the security camera at the door, he wouldn't have believed his eyes.
Seeing him appear unharmed before her, Yi Tianran breathed a sigh of relief, then reverted to her nonchalant attitude, "Who told you not to open the door?"
"I was taking a shower and didn't hear you!" Yi Zhe gritted his teeth.
He hadn't even calmed down his resentment when this woman actually came to his door.
Yi Tianran gave him a mocking look. "Is that so? Well, you really did open the door just in time!"
Yi Zhe was momentarily speechless.
All right!
He admitted that he had heard the doorbell long ago, and when he came over and saw Yi Tianran through the surveillance camera, he simply pretended not to hear it, wanting to make her come for nothing.
According to Yi Qilin's instructions, he shouldn't have met with her again to avoid being swayed by her words.
However, Yi Tianran was very outgoing and friendly.
Before she could agree, he walked past her and entered. After glancing around, he curled his lip in disdain and said nitpickingly, "Your apartment is too small. What kind of lousy pictures are hanging on the wall? And there's such an old clock. It should have been thrown into the junkyard a long time ago! No, these days nobody wants a clock even if you give it away."
You're the young master of the Yi family now, after inheriting such a large sum of my fortune, and you can't even afford a decent place to live?
"Then why don't you just stay with your grandma? Why come back to this small place?"
"Enough!" Yi Zhe's forehead veins throbbed as he listened. How come he had never noticed before that Yi Tianran spoke with such barbs, every single word so unpleasant?
wrong!
When they first met, she was still Qin Yao. Because of a misunderstanding, wasn't she in a sarcastic and unfriendly manner towards herself?
Now that her true colors have been revealed, she has reverted to her true nature and has decided to stop pretending altogether.
"If you came here just to find fault, then please leave immediately!" His angry tone carried a hint of grievance that he himself didn't even realize.
Upon hearing this, Yi Tianran suddenly fell silent.
She slowly raised her head to look at Yi Zhe, a smile appearing on her face. "If I said I just came to check on your safety, would you believe me?"
Yi Zhe felt a lump in his throat, as if a wave of acid had washed over him, causing his eyes to involuntarily redden.
"You still care about my safety? Stop pretending! Yi Tianran, I'm already grateful you didn't try to kill me. Now that I know your identity, you don't need to act anymore. I will never trust you again!"
His gaze gradually hardened and turned cold. "From today onwards, I will help Brother Qilin reclaim everything that belongs to him. Don't even think about trying to fool me again."
Yi Tianran raised an eyebrow. "If you want the family business, I've said I can offer it to you with both hands. These things are nothing to me. With my abilities, the mere Yi family business is nothing to me."
If I really cared about these things, I could easily create them myself. Perhaps you doubt my abilities, but I have Fu Yunchen supporting me. With his help, couldn't I build a conglomerate even larger than the Yi family's?
Yi Zhe was taken aback upon hearing this, and said unwillingly, "You... why do you think Fu Yunchen will definitely help you? Even if you are lovers, he can't possibly make sacrifices for you unconditionally."
Yi Tianran smiled sweetly, "Just because he and I have three children."
Yi Zhe's pupils dilated in shock, and he exclaimed incredulously, "How is this possible! You...you..."
"Don't believe me?" Yi Tianran seemed to have guessed what he was going to say, and took out her phone to show him a photo. "This is our family photo. My eldest son, Geng Geng, looks just like a carbon copy of Fu Yunchen."
My second son looks a lot like me; he's smart and cute. My third son is as well-behaved as an angel.
"With such a happy and perfect family and loving partner, do you really think I would care about any power struggles?"
Yi Zhe stood there dumbfounded, his heart pierced with pain.
If he still harbored any illusions about Yi Tianran before, those illusions have now been completely shattered.
At that moment, he couldn't even feel jealousy.
“You…” Yi Zhe’s eyes were red, and he looked as aggrieved as a child. “You’re playing with my feelings.”
Upon hearing this, Yi Tianran's smile faded. "I hope you understand that from the moment I met you until now, I have never thought of taking advantage of your feelings, let alone that you would still be hung up on 'Qin Yao'! When I learned of your thoughts, I directly rejected you, just so you wouldn't have any illusions."
If I were truly the villain you portray me to be, I could easily use your feelings to do bad things. But I ask you, in all this time we've known each other, have I ever done anything to wrong you?
Yi Zhe wanted to ask, didn't the chase abroad count? If it weren't for Brother Qilin saving him, he would have died long ago.
But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, for some reason, he suddenly couldn't bring himself to say them.
I always felt that once I said it, whether she admitted it or not, there would be no way to take it back.
"Stop talking." Yi Zhe turned his back, no longer looking at the expression on her face. "In short, the one thing you shouldn't have done was hurt Brother Qilin, and you shouldn't have resorted to any means to steal the position of his heir!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Tianran scoffed, seemingly finding it amusing, and said, "Who said the position of heir necessarily belongs to Yi Qilin? How did he brainwash you? How did I take everything that belongs to him? What right does he have? Does he even deserve it!"
Yi Zhe suddenly turned around, "You..."
