"What right do you have to criticize me when youâre also making a scene with someone?" Yang Lichun pointed at Yang Chuxia as she spoke.
"What does it have to do with you if Iâm with my fiancĂ©?" Yang Chuxia raised her head and said, "Do you even know what a fiancĂ© is? Itâs someone youâre engaged to, the person youâll spend the rest of your life with. Who would say anything if we mess around together?"
"And what about you? Are you engaged to Ye Ziping or just fooling around? Or did your families arrange the marriage?"
At Yang Chuxiaâs words, Yang Lichun froze on the spot and then looked at Ye Ziâan in disbelief, her eyes full of tears, "Did... did you two get engaged?"
Yang Chuxia shuddered. Who was she putting on this pitiful act for? It made it seem as if Brother An had been unfaithful to her.
Ye Ziâan also felt the same way. However, he didnât pay any attention to Yang Lichunâs question; he just carried Yang Chuxia inside and found the first aid kit. He applied medicines for her, including some anti-swelling medicine he had previously gotten from Mu Shaoling, which was quite effective.
Refusing to give up, Yang Lichun followed them inside.
"Brother An, are you two really engaged?" Yang Lichun asked again as she followed.
Ye Ziâan focused on the medicine in his hand, not even looking up, and merely replied with a nonchalant "hm."
Upon hearing this, Yang Lichunâs tears flowed even more freely.
Yang Chuxia looked up at the sky, speechless. It was as if someone had died in her family.
"Brother An, how could you be engaged!" Yang Lichun cried out angrily. In fact, she had always liked Ye Ziâan â that pure, innocent kind of liking. She had fallen for him even when he was still a cripple, but her feelings were clouded by Old Lady Huaâs sweet words.
Later, because of issues in her family, she met Ye Ziping and was captivated by his extravagant generosity.
However, after everything that had happened, especially returning to Yangshu Village, her feelings reemerged even stronger.
Seeing Ye Ziâan and Yang Chuxia together every day only fueled her jealousy and intensified her emotions.
And so, today she had prepared a big basket of food and went to find Ye Ziâan, only to discover he wasnât home. However, she saw the new building under construction at his house, which stirred her heart.
After daydreaming about the building for a while, she was about to leave when she saw Ye Ziâan carrying Yang Chuxia from afar.
As soon as she got close, she couldnât help but speak up.
But she didnât expect to hear such news.
Yang Chuxia remained silent. She glanced at Ye Ziâan, her face cold and indifferent, with no intention of dealing with Yang Lichun.
Alright, it seemed she would have to drive this nuisance away herself.
"Lu Lichun, who are you putting on this pitiful act for in my house?" After Ye Ziâan finished applying the medicine, she pulled a stool over and stared at Yang Lichun, "Who do you think you are, interfering in Brother Anâs engagement? Let me tell you now, heâs engaged â heâs mine, and no one can touch him. If anyone tries, Iâll take her down. But on second thought, even if he werenât engaged, do you think youâd be worthy of him? You had the nerve to get involved with Ye Ziping and now you want to get your hands on Brother An? Donât dirty him!"
As Yang Chuxia taunted her openly and subtly, Yang Lichunâs face turned pale.
However, Yang Chuxia wasnât about to let her off that easily, and continued, "From now on, stay away from Brother An. If I ever see you coming to find him again, Iâm sure youâll find life very enjoyable in a place like the Fancy Red Pavilion!"
