Lin Xiyue finally felt relieved.
"That's good. I hope you always remember what you said to me. If you ever abandon me after taking advantage of me, I will never forgive you."
"Okay, I know. Don't worry, I definitely won't let you down."
Ye Xiaotian's heart skipped a beat. Why did she seem to become so assertive after her true identity was exposed? Was her gentle and considerate nature before just an act?
No, no, she used to be willful and unreasonable, but she's just angry right now, which is why she's saying such harsh things to herself.
Ye Xiaotian tried to comfort himself, but fear began to creep into his heart.
He felt like he was trapped by Lin Xiyue, and if she let go easily, he definitely wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.
But it doesn't matter, isn't he just trying to have a proper relationship with her, trying to let go of his evil thoughts about Su Luo, and slowly fall in love with her?
The two chatted casually for a few more minutes.
I hung up the phone.
Despite having just come up with so many perfect excuses for himself, Ye Xiaotian still broke out in a cold sweat.
He took a deep breath and strode towards the elevator.
He wanted to go home.
I drove home, and by the time I arrived at my doorstep, it was completely dark.
As I pushed open the door, the aroma of food wafted out.
Ye Xiaotian had no appetite at all. When he saw Ye Xiaoman and Su Luo sitting at the dining table, he simply greeted them and headed upstairs.
But Su Luo stopped him: "Xiao Tian, come and eat. I have something I'd like to ask you."
Ye Xiaotian was still listless. He dragged his tired body to sit down next to Su Luo, showing no intention of touching his chopsticks, and asked in a low voice.
"What's up?"
Su Luo put a chicken wing in his bowl and said with concern, "You eat first."
"oh."
Ye Xiaotian then picked up his chopsticks and numbly shoveled rice into his mouth.
Seeing her younger brother's absent-minded appearance, Ye Xiaoman said with concern.
"What's wrong? Is something on your mind?"
Ye Xiaotian replied dismissively, "It's nothing."
Asking his sister about matters of the heart was pointless; she was a complete novice when it came to love and relationships.
Ye Xiaoman rolled her eyes and said impatiently.
"What happened? Tell me quickly! Look at you now, you look like a wilted eggplant, so pathetic!"
"!!!"
Su Luo, sitting opposite Ye Xiaoman, widened her eyes involuntarily upon hearing Ye Xiaoman's vivid analogy.
Although Ye Xiaoman hadn't studied much and dropped out of school early, her use of rhetoric was truly brilliant; Ye Xiaotian's appearance was indeed too listless.
Su Luo was also quite curious. Hadn't he already shared his cooking experience with Ye Xiaotian? Why did Ye Xiaotian still seem so discouraged?
Does it not work? That shouldn't be the case!
Ye Xiaotian put down his chopsticks and smiled wryly.
"Sis, I just found out today that my girlfriend is the only daughter of Jufeng Pharmaceutical. I suddenly feel a lot of pressure. I always thought her family was quite poor."
Su Luo's eyes lit up. She hadn't expected that Ye Xiaotian would date a socialite on his first relationship. He had great taste.
Ye Xiaoman chuckled, "I knew it all along. Isn't it good to be rich? Why do you have to go after poor people?"
"What?!"
Ye Xiaotian excitedly slammed his hand on the table.
"You knew why you didn't say so sooner? Why didn't you say so sooner? If you had told me earlier, I would have been mentally prepared."
Ye Xiaoman was startled by her younger brother and said irritably.
"What, what difference does it make whether I said it sooner or later? What are you preparing? Didn't you say you didn't care about their family background? So what if it's Jufeng Pharmaceuticals? It's not like you're not good enough for them. What are you afraid of?"
Ye Xiaotian got anxious and blurted out what was on his mind.
"I'm really not good enough for her. How could I possibly be good enough for her? She's so beautiful, so young, so gentle and lovely, so understanding, and comes from such a good family. How could I possibly be good enough for her!"
These words stunned both Ye Xiaoman and Su Luo.
Su Luo was filled with emotion.
You're such a good brother to me. You were exactly the same as me when we were dating. I also felt that I wasn't good enough for Song Lingshan back then. Later, when I got together with Sister Nami, I still felt that I wasn't good enough for her.
Ye Xiaoman was so angry she wanted to hit someone. How could her wonderful younger brother be so insecure?
In terms of looks, he's just as good-looking as any of the young male celebrities in the entertainment industry, and his personality is flawless too—lively, cheerful, and approachable.
Although his abilities weren't particularly strong, he didn't cause his family to lose money. You know how many rich kids are good-for-nothings who not only fail to earn money for their families but also frequently cause trouble and make their families lose money.
Her family background is no worse than Lin Xiyue's.
But she didn't need to tell her brother these things. She knew that when people feel inferior, they can't see their own strengths at all. They just get stuck on their own shortcomings and use countless excuses to prove that they are bad.
So she did the opposite and said angrily, "Yes, you're really not good enough for her. Then you should break up with her right away and stop wasting her time!"
Ye Xiaotian panicked and denied it.
"I don't want to break up. I just promised her I wouldn't abandon her after using her..."
Ye Xiaoman glared at her younger brother and said seriously.
"Since you don't want to break up, then stand up straight and stop thinking you're not good enough for her. Don't show any signs of unworthiness in front of her. We Ye family members have always been bold and decisive. If you're spineless, you might as well change your surname!"
Ye Xiaotian was intimidated by his sister's imposing manner and gritted his teeth.
"I don't want to change my surname, I know what to do!"
Ye Xiaoman nodded slightly, picked up her chopsticks again, and said calmly as if nothing had happened.
"Have a meal!"
Ye Xiaotian picked up his bowl and ate heartily. His sister's scolding had swept away the gloom in his heart, and he felt much more relaxed. His sister was right.
The Ye family has always been known for their courage and responsibility. He couldn't let his family down. Since Lin Xiyue had chosen him so firmly, he was definitely worthy of her. Although he didn't know exactly how he was worthy, he would never feel inferior again.
"..."
Su Luo, who was standing to the side, was completely stunned.
He had never understood why Ye Xiaotian was so respectful to Ye Xiaoman. He naively thought that Ye Xiaotian was only afraid of her and listened to her because Ye Xiaoman had high martial arts skills, a strong personality, and his innate bloodline.
He now realized that it wasn't just that reason.
Also, because Ye Xiaoman's thought process is completely opposite to that of ordinary people, her way of dealing with problems can be described in three words.
Quick, accurate, and ruthless.
A few simple words completely eliminated Ye Xiaotian's inferiority complex.
This person is truly extraordinary.
No, he has something important he needs Ye Xiaotian's help with.
So he asked in a low voice, "Xiao Tian, can you help me find someone, Mia?"
Ye Xiaotian swallowed a mouthful of rice and asked in surprise, "Who?"
He had never heard Su Luo mention this person before.
Ye Xiaoman paused, her hand holding the chopsticks still. The Mia Su Luo mentioned was the one she had met at the Sichuan restaurant during the day.
No wonder he came over to say hello; it turns out he wanted to start a company with Su Luo.
