Chapter 89

A young man entered the boat. Although he was not as handsome as Ye Chu, he was dressed in luxurious and splendid attire, with rare and precious jade ornaments adorning his body, which were hard to find even in Yaocity. From this, it could be seen that the young man came from an extraordinary family.

"Master Shangguan, we were just talking about you, and you’ve come just in time!" Ye Jingyun, with her lively eyes, smiled at the arriving Shangguan Minda, her two beautiful legs crossed, slender and graceful.

"Thank you, Miss Ye Jingyun!" Shangguan Minda nodded to Ye Jingyun, his gaze falling on Tan Miaotong, and he said softly, "Miaotong has finally agreed to see me. The efforts I’ve made chasing after Miaotong all this way have not been in vain."

Tan Miaotong’s face turned red, her delicate features showing a gentle softness. She gave Ye Jingyun a reproachful glance but could not explain herself, and could only sit there with a charming blush.

"Master Shangguan, don’t just focus on Miaotong. We haven’t seen each other for a long time. Come, let’s have a cup of tea together, and I’ll introduce a friend to you." Ye Jingyun, with her dark eyes, stood up and pulled Shangguan Minda, making him sit directly opposite Ye Chu.

Although Shangguan Minda wanted to be alone with Tan Miaotong, he knew it was impossible to get rid of Ye Jingyun and Qing Wenting. He could only force a smile and sit opposite Ye Chu.

"This is my cousin, Ye Chu!" Ye Jingyun pointed at Ye Chu and smiled, "Master Shangguan, you can take care of my cousin in the future. Just now, Ye Chu took Miaotong on a poetic and picturesque boat ride on the cold lake, showing her special care."

Seeing Shangguan Minda suddenly raise his head and shoot a sharp glance at him, Ye Chu knew what Ye Jingyun was up to. From her words, Ye Chu fully understood that Shangguan Minda was a staunch suitor of Tan Miaotong, otherwise, he wouldn’t have traveled such a long distance to chase after her.

Seeing Ye Jingyun’s bright smile, Ye Chu smiled and said to Shangguan Minda, "It’s an honor to meet Master Shangguan, but there’s something I must say to you: you should give up on Miaotong!"

This statement not only stunned Shangguan Minda but also left Ye Jingyun speechless. She indeed wanted to use Shangguan Minda to deal with Ye Chu, but she didn’t expect Ye Chu to be so cooperative. Didn’t Ye Chu know that this would enrage Shangguan Minda?

"You want me to give up on Miaotong?" Shangguan Minda’s voice suddenly rose, and everyone could clearly feel his suppressed rage.

"What did Miaotong say to you?" Shangguan Minda had no good feelings towards Ye Chu. Ever since he heard from Ye Jingyun that Ye Chu had taken Tan Miaotong on a poetic and picturesque boat ride, jealousy had made him hate Ye Chu.

Ye Jingyun, seeing Shangguan Minda’s dark and gloomy face, couldn’t help but laugh inwardly. Shangguan Minda’s affection for Tan Miaotong was evident. Normally, the appearance of a man beside Tan Miaotong would provoke his retaliation. Now, hearing that Ye Chu had taken Tan Miaotong on a boat ride, he was even more jealous.

Ye Jingyun smiled sweetly at Ye Chu, waiting for him to be tormented by Shangguan Minda.

Tan Miaotong tugged at Ye Jingyun, trying to stop her from talking nonsense. But Ye Jingyun ignored her, giving her a comforting look before exaggerating, "Yes! What did Miaotong say to you? Hehe, Ye Chu, your relationship with Miaotong is really good. She didn’t even tell our close friends any secrets."

Sure enough, Shangguan Minda’s face became even darker.

"Can’t you stop stirring things up? If it weren’t for you, would Miaotong have told me these things?" Ye Chu looked at Shangguan Minda and smiled, "Master Shangguan, can’t you see that Ye Jingyun is trying to provoke us to fight?"

Shangguan Minda frowned and looked at Ye Jingyun suspiciously. He naturally saw through it; as his cousin, Ye Jingyun seemed to want him to do something to Ye Chu.

Ye Jingyun didn’t care, "So what if I’m stirring things up? I just don’t like you! But can you deny that you and Miaotong went on a boat ride together today?"

Seeing Shangguan Minda’s expression become even worse, Ye Chu had to admit that Ye Jingyun was good at grasping people’s psychology. With this one sentence, even if Shangguan Minda knew Ye Jingyun was using him, he wouldn’t care.

"I once said that any man who dares to get within three meters of Miaotong will have his hands and feet broken," Shangguan Minda stared at Ye Chu, "I meant it!"

Tan Miaotong was furious, her eyes wide with anger, "What I do with anyone is none of your business! Don’t meddle in my life!"

"Miaotong! You know my feelings! Even if you don’t agree now, you will in the future. No matter what you say, I cannot tolerate any other man getting close to you," Shangguan Minda stared at Miaotong and said.

Ye Chu looked at Shangguan Minda, thinking how strong his possessiveness was. Of course, in his previous life, Ye Chu had also seen similar people. A female friend was pursued by a man who couldn’t tolerate any male numbers in her phone. She was fed up with him, but he still acted as he pleased, calling and insulting all the men in her phone.

Ye Chu had received such a strange call, which made him, who had just climbed out of the woman’s bed and was told he hadn’t satisfied her the night before, furious. In a fit of anger, he moved into the woman’s house.

This enraged the man, who picked up a machete to attack Ye Chu. But Ye Chu was prepared and had a few police friends guard the door. They caught the man in the act of attempted assault. As the man was taken away, Ye Chu sighed and whispered in his ear, "If I hadn’t been so tired from last night, I would have beaten you to death."

This made the man’s face pale, and he seemed to collapse. The woman, who had nothing to do with Ye Chu, was both amused and exasperated. She knew how much this would hurt the man. Ye Chu’s words were more painful than ten slaps!

Ye Chu detested such people, who had no skills but only knew how to threaten their rivals, which was a disgrace to men.

"Who I get close to, and who Miaotong wants to get close to, is not your business, is it?" Ye Chu looked at him and smiled, ignoring the signals from Tan Miaotong. This made Tan Miaotong anxious, as she knew how domineering Shangguan Minda was. Ye Chu’s actions would surely provoke his fierce retaliation.

Shangguan Minda glared at Ye Chu coldly, "Whoever dares to get close to Miaotong, I will cripple them. Let’s see who dares to act recklessly?"

Ye Chu smiled, "Impressive, but not very manly! Don’t you want to know what Miaotong said to me today?"

"What did she say?" Shangguan Minda was still very nervous about Tan Miaotong’s words, staring at Ye Chu and asking.

Ye Chu glanced at Ye Jingyun, who, when caught by Ye Chu’s gaze, felt a jolt in her heart, a sense of foreboding rising.
