Once, ignorant of Tang Zhouâs hidden ailment, unaware of all the unspeakable hardships Tang Zhou faced, he had indeed stood firm with Ji Qishu, Mo Fei, and Fu Zhuo, opposing Tang Zhouâs relationship with Leng Chenmo.
But in the end, it was Tang Zhou who got hurt.
He just didnât want to repeat the same mistakes, didnât want Tang Zhou to get hurt again.
Ye Xingguang was furious, âReally, just because itâs assigned by the state, it means thereâs no problem, and he should just give it a try? Maybe this is the best option for him? Ha, you make it sound so noble. Wasnât I also assigned to you by the state? Why donât you try?â
After saying this, Ye Xingguang bit her tongue hard. Damn it, she was so angry that sheâs babbling nonsense.
Ye Junqing was stunned, seeming to disbelieve that these words had come from her mouth.
The next second, Ye Junqing gave her a deep look, and replied, âAm I not trying it right now?â
Ye Xingguang realized her emotions were out of control. Unsure of what to say, she turned to leave, blabbering along the way, âAnyway, make sure to consider carefully, donât sacrifice Tang Zhouâs personal happiness for politics, or be careful about everyone turning their backs on you.â
Before she could reach the door, Ye Junqing caught up with her. With a tug, he pulled her, and her body uncontrollably spun half a circle, falling forward into his arms.
Feeling uncomfortable, Ye Xingguang forcefully pushed him, âLet me go.â
âWhy are you running when we havenât finished talking?â At this point, how could Ye Junqing let her go?
He held her chin, forcing her to look him in the eyes. Surprisingly, he noticed a grievance on her face, looking somewhat puzzled, âWhy are you upset about Tang Zhouâs matter?â
âWhoâs upset?â Ye Xingguang knocked his hand away.
âIf youâre not upset, why are you so worked up?â Ye Junqing lifted her face, âCould there be something else bothering you? Tell me who made you upset, Iâll help you settle it.â
âItâs you. If you have the guts, sort yourself out.â Ye Xingguang thought she was going crazy. Why did she walk into his study tonight?
Even now, she didnât know what she was saying, with a bitter nagging tone, that even she looked down on herself.
But thinking about how he prioritize political goals over personal happiness, it made her heartache. Unable to control her emotions, she lifted her fist and strongly hit his arm.
She admired him more when he ranked high on the list of bachelors for his personal happiness, confidently announcing: âWhoever dares to mess with me, prepare your own grave!â
Even though itâs domineering, it felt full of love, full of insistence, refusal to compromise, unwilling to settle with women casually.
So even when he was always publicly saying that thereâs no chance he would develop feelings for her over time, to the point of asking her to consciously keep a distance from him, she didnât think any less of him. But now heâs talking about sacrificing everything for success to Tang Zhou, it disappointed her.
Ye Junqing brought her back to the desk, picked up a feather duster from the table and put it in her hand.
Ye Xingguang asked, âWhat is this for?â
âFor you to give me a thrashing, donât feel upset.â
Ye Xingguang threw the feather duster on the ground, âWho wants to hit you?â
Ye Junqing pondered, âWrong prop? Should we switch to a keyboard, or perhaps durian?â
