Chapter 74

When Ye Qianwen saw Qi Ruxue lost in thought, she couldn't help but chuckle. She knew that during this period, her brother had not been gentle at all, which had somewhat hurt Ruxue's feelings. As a beauty herself, Ye Qianwen naturally understood Qi Ruxue's thoughts. When a girl is extremely beautiful, with countless admirers, and almost every man who sees her falls madly in love, suddenly a man who is indifferent or even always argues with her appears, a woman's innate stubbornness will erupt, and she will unconsciously want to gain this man's recognition and conquer him.

"If I were really that beautiful, why wouldn't your brother... " Qi Ruxue couldn't help but sigh.

Regardless of whether Qi Ruxue had any good feelings for Ye Tianchen, or whether she really liked him, perhaps she wasn't before, but now, even she might not be clear about it.

During this time, ever since moving into the Ye family villa, Qi Ruxue had been dealing with Ye Tianchen every day. Although they always argued and never gave in to each other, this made Qi Ruxue think about Ye Tianchen all day, thinking about how to deal with this big bad guy, how to prank him, so that her mind was full of him.

"Hehe, Sister Ruxue, my brother has always been emotionally unintelligent. I won't hide it from you; after he accidentally saw Liu Rumei bathing at the Liu family, he went to apologize, and after that, he changed. So he might be... " Ye Qianwen said with a smile.

From Qi Ruxue's muttered words, it seemed she vaguely hoped that Ye Tianchen would care about her, not be so cold. Perhaps, without her realizing it, her inner feelings had already changed, and she had developed some good feelings for Ye Tianchen, but she might not even know it herself, thinking it was just a desire to "revenge" Ye Tianchen for his indifference.

"I heard about this when I returned to the country. To be honest, although I argue with your brother all the time, there's no real grudge. From my observations, he doesn't seem like the type to peep on women bathing. And this matter is a bit suspicious. The Liu family is a top-tier family in Kyoto, and Liu Rumei is the first beauty. How could she be peeped on? It's impossible," Qi Ruxue asked, puzzled.

Qi Ruxue was a high-achieving student and a very smart girl, not just a pretty face. When she heard about Ye Tianchen's incident, she found it strange but didn't say anything. She didn't want to be like those foolish rich kids and spoiled daughters who only mock others; she was a woman who seriously thought about every matter.

The reason Qi Ruxue found it strange and mentioned it to Ye Qianwen was that her family was also a top-tier family. She understood that although the Liu family didn't have any major figures, their contributions to the country were the greatest, so the country's top leaders respected them, which was why the Liu family could be a top-tier family.

Liu Rumei was always recognized as the top beauty in Kyoto. How many people knew where she bathed? Even if they did, it would be heavily guarded. At that time, Ye Tianchen, from a third-tier family, with no power or skills, could he have entered where Liu Rumei was bathing? Thinking about it, it was indeed suspicious.

"I don't know what really happened. My parents and I agreed not to mention this matter again to avoid making my brother sad," Ye Qianwen said, her mood suddenly heavy.

"It's not about not mentioning it, but it's strange. What if someone framed your brother? It's too suspicious..." Qi Ruxue said, frowning.

After Qi Ruxue said this, Ye Qianwen also found it strange. When this incident happened, she was in high school, and she only heard from her parents that her brother had caused a big trouble and had to go to the Liu family to apologize. After returning home, her brother became silent and eventually insisted on joining the military, leaving after less than a month at Longteng University.

"Never mind, let's not worry about it. Sister Ruxue, I think you and my brother, although you always argue, you two are really a good match, right?" Ye Qianwen broke the heavy atmosphere with a smile.

"Are we a good match? I have no feelings for your brother. This guy always bullies me, and I will retaliate fiercely!" Qi Ruxue said, a bit excited at the thought of pranking Ye Tianchen, pouting her sexy lips.

Ye Qianwen looked at Qi Ruxue and felt it was time to seriously ask her this question. Her mother was right; it was important to figure out whether Sister Ruxue had any feelings for her brother Ye Tianchen. Otherwise, it would be unfair to both her brother and Sister Ruxue.

"Sister Ruxue, can I ask you a sincere question? It's just you and me here, so you have to tell the truth!" Ye Qianwen said with a playful smile.

"You little brat, we are good friends. Just ask, and I'll answer your question seriously, considering you've helped me deal with your brother these days," Qi Ruxue said with a sweet smile.

"Okay, Sister Ruxue, please think carefully. Do you have any feelings for my brother? Do you love him?" Ye Qianwen stared intently at Qi Ruxue's eyes and asked.

If it were the day before, Qi Ruxue would have answered without hesitation, "No feelings." But just as she was about to say these three words, the scene of kissing Ye Tianchen flashed in her mind.

It was an accidental kiss, and it was also Qi Rumei's first kiss, taken by her nemesis Ye Tianchen. She pursed her sexy lips, and the feeling still made her curious, a bit sour, a bit sweet, and a bit bitter, making her a bit angry and a bit nostalgic.

So, the words on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back. She didn't know how to describe her feelings at that moment. She wanted to say she had no feelings for Ye Tianchen, but thinking about the kiss, she hesitated, her thoughts becoming chaotic.

Actually, women are like this. When they are with a man they have no feelings for, nothing happens, and they naturally don't care about him. But if they hold hands, hug, or even kiss, something changes in their hearts.

Women are emotional creatures. Once they fall in love or have a little feeling, they can't control themselves and are easily won over. Therefore, every girl deserves to be loved.

Seeing Qi Ruxue standing there, frowning, and seemingly indecisive, Ye Qianwen felt happy inside. This meant her brother still had a chance, and Sister Ruxue still had a place for her brother Ye Tianchen in her heart, even though they often fought and argued, which had overshadowed it.

To be honest, Ye Qianwen also wanted a sister-in-law like Qi Ruxue. After spending time together, she and Qi Ruxue had become close friends, closer than sisters. Was this fate?

"Hehe, Sister Ruxue, your silence means you have feelings for my brother, right? Are you already in love with him?" Ye Qianwen said with a mischievous smile.

"Wh-what? You little brat, trying to trick me, I'll get you!" Qi Ruxue, coming to her senses, blushed and tried to tickle Ye Qianwen.

Ye Qianwen quickly dodged. Now she had something to report to her mother, and she was very happy. As long as Sister Ruxue had feelings for her brother Ye Tianchen, there was still hope for her to become her sister-in-law. The next step was to persuade her brother Ye Tianchen to pursue her aggressively.

At this moment, in the Qin family villa, Qin Yi sat in the middle of the hall with a stern face. Below him stood his eldest son, Qin Taoyuan, and a person wrapped like a mummy, who was undoubtedly Qin Heng.

Qin Heng was in a terrible state, unrecognizable. If Ye Tianchen hadn't shown mercy, he wouldn't be sitting here but lying in the hospital. Even so, his facial bones were all broken, and even after surgery, he would be left with scars, making him look terrifying.

"Father, Heng has been beaten to this state. I can't swallow this anger. I must tear Ye Tianchen apart," Qin Taoyuan said, clenching his teeth, looking at his son Qin Heng, who was in such a terrible state.

"Ugh..." Qin Heng's eyes were filled with rage, his whole body trembling. He wanted to curse but couldn't, and every time he opened his mouth, it was excruciating pain. All his teeth had been knocked out by Ye Tianchen's three kicks.

Qin Yi tightly clenched his fists. At his age, around seventy, he was already quite high in status and would never easily lose his temper or show his emotions.

However, this time, his beloved grandson Qin Heng was beaten to a pulp, and more importantly, by Ye Tianchen, who was once a laughingstock in Kyoto, a notorious wastrel. If Qin Heng was beaten by Ye Tianchen, didn't it mean that Qin Heng was even more foolish and useless? What would this do to the Qin family's reputation and his own face?

"I will not let this go, but we must be cautious. The election is coming up, and there are many factors to consider. If I can advance, it will be a significant boost for our entire Qin family. So, let's wait until after the election. For now, we must endure," Qin Yi finally relaxed his fists, seemingly suppressing his anger, waiting for the right moment to strike and destroy the Ye family.
