Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty
Chapter 228 - 228: White Lotus Transfer Student (58)

"Heh," Ye Chen sneered in sarcasm. "Did you not just see me a few days ago during the class reunion?"

Qi Yu ignored Ye Chen's words and said in a light and unbothered tone, "You made that phone call that night."

"Yes, yes, I did," Ye Chen said. "What do you think about it?"

Qi Yu instantly clenched the cup in his hand until the tips of his fingers turned white, but the expression on his face was still gentle and unbothered. He opened his mouth with a smile on his face, looking very calm as he said, "The deceased aunt would have never thought that one day her most beloved son would actually be a third party that destroys other people's families."

The gentle young man gave Ye Chen a very sharp look at this moment, one that was full of ridicule and faint jealousy.

Ye Chen let out a cold laugh.

If it were in the past, the young Ye Chen might have acted angrily and impulsively when he heard those words, but now he is different from his past self.

What kind of words has he, Ye Chen, not heard in the past seven years?

"If it were not for Ran Ran's willingness, I would never be able to force her." Ye Chen said this sentence with a hint of pride. There was a hint of Ye Chen's youthful spirit shown in front of Qi Yu from that of seven years ago.

"Wake up and face reality, Qi Yu," Ye Chen said. "You see, as soon as you stop using that disgusting drug of yours to control others, Ran Ran will immediately return to my arms." He frowned a little as he continued, "If it were not for you, the person who married Ran Ran and had a child in the end must be me."

On the surface, Qi Yu still looked calm, but anger and jealousy were bubbling inside of him as he heard Ye Chen say these words word for word.

Curse this man.

"That medicine was developed by Dr. K," Ye Chen said in a nonchalant tone.

Qi Yu suddenly raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly at Ye Chen.

Oh. He had really underestimated Ye Chen's means and depth of investigation. Unexpectedly, after a whole seven years have passed since that last incident, Ye Chen has grown so much to this point to even be able to know this kind of hidden information.

"So, you could no longer try and attract her whole attention with illegal means again," Ye Chen continued saying. "Not to mention that you are the one who actually gets involved in other people's feelings."

Ye Chen's words were getting colder and colder. As long as he thought of the fact that he and Yue Ran could have had a happy future that was full of love, his heart hurt so much that he could not help but want to kill Qi Yu over and over again.

"Oh," Qi Yu said in a nonchalant tone. "Anyway, this is a foregone conclusion. Ran Ran will always be my wife, and it will always stay that way. Besides, we still have a child between us. But what about you? What do you have with her?"

Ye Chen's face darkened. This was also the reason why he had always been submissive to having the title of "lover", a third party in someone else's relationship.

No matter what, Ran Ran and Qi Yu had been in a relationship for seven years, were already married, and even had a child, so Ye Chen dared not let Yue Ran choose who to stay with between him and Qi Yu.

He was afraid that the one who would finally be left behind would be him. Again. Even if it was not voluntary and intended on Yue Ran's part in the past.

Ye Chen never wanted to go back to the days when he could only hide behind and shrink in the shadows, like a dirty rat peeping out from inside the sewers. Back then, he could only watch as their family of three lived their happy lives without him.

Those times inevitably left an indelible scar in his heart.

Only when he truly embraces Yue Ran in his arms can he feel that he is once again alive.

Seeing that the person in front of him gradually fell silent, a trace of clarity flashed in Qi Yu's eyes. He seemed to understand the man's most hidden thoughts.

It was not hard when he himself felt the same.

At this time, they were really quite similar.

"Well, the time is almost up for me to get home, and I still have to pick Ran Ran up when I get off work," Qi Yu said as he stood up from his seat. "I will leave first."

When Qi Yu was about to walk out the door, Ye Chen, who had not spoken for quite a while, suddenly called out to him.

"Wait a moment," Ye Chen voiced out.

Qi Yu stopped in his footsteps, elegantly raised a brow, and looked back at the cold and noble-looking man behind him.

…

When Yue Ran returned home, the house was dark. There were no lights on.

Yue Ran frowned slightly. She felt a little confused when she saw this.

Hm? Is no one at home?

But suddenly, a candle lit up in the darkness. Soon, more and more candles lit up, making the room look brighter and brighter. The warm yellow lights looked a little blurry, casting a hazy filter like that of artistic paint on the whole house.

There was a man standing by the candles, wearing blue ice-silk pajamas. He stood there peerlessly, looking at Yue Ran with a tender smile on his face. There was a hint of deep and obscure meaning in his eyes that was quite difficult to detect or understand when he looked at her.

"A Yu," Yue Ran called out as she ran towards Qi Yu.
