Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Of course I chased after you

Ye Yan returned to Yuqiao, but Fu Xingzhou hadn’t come back yet.

She casually sent him a message, "Are you coming back?"

If he didn’t return, she would wash up and go to sleep; if he did, she would wait a while to avoid the discomfort of being woken up from deep sleep.

Fu Xingzhou didn’t reply to the message.

Holding her phone, Ye Yan browsed through Facebook for a while, after confirming that he wouldn’t reply, she picked up her pajamas to wash up.

Suddenly, her phone started vibrating intensely.

"Ah Yan, are you off work? Come join me for a drink." The screen showed Meng Tian’s face, against the noisy backdrop of a bar, with music blaring deafeningly.

"Do you have the day off tomorrow?"

Meng Tian’s department had a rule that prohibited drinking within twenty-four hours unless they had the next day off. Even on days off, they rarely got wasted because they could be called to a case at any time and showing up drunk would just get them scolded.

"I’ve been working for fifteen days straight, Director Lu gave me three days off." Meng Tian winked at the camera and danced along with the music.

Meng Tian’s grandmother was Portuguese, and with one-fourth Portuguese heritage, she had high arched brows and deep-set eyes, with striking, sculptural features — a beauty with the intensity of strong liquor.

During their university days, the two were known as "twin flowers," one as bewitching as a fairy, the other as pure as an immortal.

"I just saw Pei Ye." Meng Tian’s voice sank, "He didn’t see me."

"In that case, act as if he doesn’t exist. Is it okay if I come over right now?"

Ye Yan felt a headache coming on at the mention of the two words Pei Ye.

Meng Tian had poured all her love into a four-year relationship, selflessly devoting everything to that man.

But her wholehearted dedication was repaid with a cheating scumbag rising to the status of a kept husband.

Even though she had seen through his true nature a long time ago, the feelings of bitterness were hard to settle.

Facing Pei Ye, Ye Yan feared that Meng Tian might be taken advantage of or provoke trouble.

When Ye Yan arrived at the bar, Meng Tian had already drunk half a bottle of liquor by herself. Meng Tian could hold her liquor well, so Ye Yan wasn’t worried about her getting drunk.

"Dr. Ye, can’t you dress up a little?" Meng Tian, swaying her glass, was dissatisfied with Ye Yan’s somewhat conservative outfit.

"It’s quite fine like this." Ye Yan had hurried out and hadn’t had time to change clothes, still wearing the beige turtleneck and khaki trench coat she wore to work that day.

Her neck was slender and pearl-white, noble and proud like a swan, with the half-turtleneck sweater accentuating the beauty of her elegant neck, a cold indifference that seemed aloof from the world.

"That’s true, Dr. Ye is naturally beautiful; you look like an angel even without dressing up." Knowing that Ye Yan had work the next day, Meng Tian ordered a non-alcoholic mojito cocktail for her.

Ye Yan had just taken a sip when she saw a familiar figure approaching.

It was the damned Murphy’s Law!

The more you fear something, the more it happens.

"Meng Tian?" Pei Ye frowned as he surveyed the person drinking, "What are you doing here?"

"Is that even a question?" Xia Mengyao clung to Pei Ye’s arm, her soft body almost entirely hanging on him, "Of course, I followed you here."

Meng Tian had no intention of paying attention to the two, but upon hearing Xia Mengyao’s words, she slammed her glass down heavily on the counter and narrowed her eyes coldly, "I’m not a straw boat, so please keep your arrows away from me."

"Meng Tian, have you no shame left?" Xia Mengyao looked down on her from above, "You and Pei Ye are broken up. Why are you still clung to him like a bad rash? Did you stalk him to this bar? How can you be so cheap? Are you so desperate for a man that you’re like a pest sticking to someone else’s boyfriend, aren’t you disgusted with yourself?"

"Mr. Pei." Ye Yan quickly stepped in front of Meng Tian, worried that she would act impulsively, "This bar doesn’t belong to your family; we have the right to come and go freely. Moreover, Meng Tian doesn’t have the habit of eating her own vomit, not to mention that grass has long been tainted by cow dung; she’s not interested."

Pei Ye’s expression darkened. He looked at Meng Tian and then turned his eyes to Ye Yan, "Miss Ye, control your friend and tell her not to keep pestering me. I feel sick just looking at her, and whatever she does, I will not look back."

Ye Yan: ...

Such a "rare" good man, Meng Tian must have been blind back then.

"Tiantian, let’s go." Ye Yan pulled Meng Tian to leave.

They couldn’t afford to provoke them, but they could avoid them.

Meng Tian was a police officer, and Ye Yan was afraid she wouldn’t be able to hold back from striking first, breaking the law while knowing the law. If the other party were to spread it on the internet, it could cause indelible damage to her professional career.

How much Meng Tian loved her job, she understood better than anyone else.

"You want to leave just like that?" Xia Mengyao tried to grab Meng Tian, "What, you feel guilty because you’ve been caught and now you want to run? You think you’re so great because you’re a police officer? Police like you in Ao City are a disgrace to our citizens."

"Pei Ye." Ye Yan was furious, her voice laced with a chilling tone, "Keep your woman in line, or I’ll charge her with assaulting an officer."

Pei Ye regained some sense upon Ye Yan’s shout, stepped forward, and grabbed Xia Mengyao, "Okay, Yaoyao, stop getting angry, I really have nothing to do with her. Even if she tries to seduce me, I won’t fall for it, I’ve lost all feelings for her."

When Meng Tian heard this, she sneered immediately, "Mr. Pei, do you know which part of your body is impervious to swords and guns? It’s your face! I, Meng Tian, was blind to have taken a fancy to someone like you. Now someone is eagerly picking through the trash, treating garbage as treasure; I wish you two would swallow the key and lock yourselves away forever."

"You..." Xia Mengyao was furious but hesitated to lay hands on her because of her status as a police officer, so she could only sweep the bottles and glasses off the table with a sweep of her hand.

The dark-colored bottle of foreign liquor smashed on the marble floor, shattering glass everywhere, and a piercing scream erupted from the crowd.

"Just you wait." Xia Mengyao pointed at Meng Tian, "Sooner or later, I’ll strip that skin off you."

Ye Yan pulled Meng Tian out of the bar, and the fresh air hit their faces, the wind sobering them up a bit.

"Such bad luck." Meng Tian was so angry her face turned red, and she turned back to complain to Ye Yan, "I haven’t gone out for a drink in a hundred years, and the one time I do, I run into this disgusting pair... Ah Yan, what’s happened to you?"

A stream of fresh blood gushed from Ye Yan’s forehead, flowing more and more, quickly blurring her vision and seeping into her mouth, the taste metallic and slightly sweet.

Ye Yan wiped it casually, and her hand came away bright red with blood.

In the chaos just now, when the bottle shattered, she felt a sudden pain in her forehead, but she was only concerned with getting away with Meng Tian and didn’t pay it much attention.

"That bastard Pei Ye." Meng Tian stomped with rage.

It was one thing for her to get hurt, but she couldn’t stand her friends being harmed.

At this moment, she couldn’t care less about police honor or rules like law enforcers shouldn’t strike first; she had to make Pei Ye’s head wear a big red flower.

"Tiantian." The blood kept flowing, copious and fast from Ye Yan’s fingertips, and she felt dizzy, ready to collapse.

Meng Tian hadn’t expected so much blood, and panic set in as she dug out tissues from her bag and waved down a car.

Teaching Pei Ye a lesson was temporarily put out of her mind.
