Chapter 136: Chapter 136: She is Just a Joke

"Let go of her!"

Tan Qing instinctively stood up, wanting to pull back Wen Nuan’s hand, but Leng Yan blocked him. Wen Nuan had already been pulled several steps away by him.

Staring blankly at Leng Yan, a complex expression surfaced in Tan Qing’s eyes. Without time to think, he followed them out.

"Let go of me!"

Her wrist was getting more painfully gripped, and coupled with earlier bitterness, her tears were already struggling to hold back, now overflowing under his treatment. She turned her head away to avoid letting the tears flow in front of him, forcefully trying to shake off Leng Yan’s hand.

Her heart ached with bitterness.

She remembered, Leng Yan had said he hated seeing her cry.

So, since then, she tried her best not to cry in front of him. If she really couldn’t hold it in, she would turn her face away, not letting her tear-streaked face face him directly.

"Nuannuan." Tan Qing watched her tears flow, his heart pained. He rushed over in a few quick steps, forcibly pushing away Leng Yan, pulling Wen Nuan to his side. He glared at Leng Yan, his phoenix eyes filled with fury, his voice unkind: "Young Master Leng, what gives you the right to treat Nuannuan like this?"

Isn’t he just a neighbor’s brother? Even if he is concerned, this is going too far, making his little Nuannuan cry. So what if Nuannuan likes him? He has a wife and is destined not to give Nuannuan happiness.

"What gives me the right?" Leng Yan suddenly laughed, the peach-blossom eyes immediately covered with frost, looking askance at Wen Nuan’s face, her tears making his heart soften, with an urge to wipe them away for her. But, seeing Tan Qing standing in front of her, he hardened his heart, looking at her coldly, a sarcastic smile playing on his thin lips: "Nuannuan, you tell him, what gives me the right?"

Wen Nuan took the handkerchief Tan Qing handed over, gently wiped her tears, and laughed coldly in her heart.

What gives him the right? Ha, if she were to say, she wouldn’t know either. She, too, wanted to ask just like Tan Qing: Leng Yan, what gives you the right to treat me this way? What gives you the right to use my love for you to hurt me again and again?

"Wen Nuan, tell him, who am I?" The cold smile on Wen Nuan’s face pierced Leng Yan’s heart with a sharp pain; he looked at her again, fury deepening in his eyes.

Tan Qing felt a pang in his heart, nervously watching Wen Nuan.

As Leng Yan’s face grew increasingly ugly, Wen Nuan faintly smiled, looking straight at him: "A neighbor’s brother who loves to meddle!"

Let’s just say that, otherwise, should she say he’s her husband?

Such a marriage, a transaction marriage; now that the leading lady has returned, it is time for her, the false protagonist, to exit. There’s no need at this time to shamelessly declare to others that she is Leng Yan’s wife.

Actually, she understood in her heart. She...was nothing but a joke, a mere tragic figure!

The heart that Tan Qing had been holding finally dropped, his tense body visibly relaxing a bit.

"Wen Nuan!"

Leng Yan’s teeth and fists were grinding, watching her, the black eyes filled not only with fury but also with hurt.

Wen Nuan’s heart ached slightly, her lips moved, but she still didn’t want to say anything, turning stiffly, apologetically saying to Tan Qing beside her: "Sorry, Tan Qing, you didn’t have a good meal."

Earlier, Tan Qing’s dim eyes were all taken in by her, making her heart very sad. She couldn’t give Tan Qing anything, and didn’t want to hurt him.

"It’s okay, Nuannuan. Let’s go, I’ll take you somewhere fun." Tan Qing gave a gentle smile, reaching out to hold her hand.

His heart still carried some fear; the reactions of Leng Yan and Wen Nuan were too strong, making him feel that things weren’t that simple.

But, he dared not think more, fearing the real result would be too hard for him to accept. Nuannuan said Leng Yan was just a nosy brother, so let it be. Let Leng Yan’s anger be because he, Tan Qing, was once a playboy, and Leng Yan now couldn’t rest easy seeing them together.

He has all the time in the world to prove that the playfulness disappeared upon seeing Wen Nuan, leaving only one heart genuinely treating Wen Nuan sincerely.
