Chapter 192: Not Unfair, Why Are You So Agitated?_1
Translator: 549690339
Once, ignorant of Tang Zhou’s hidden ailment, unaware of all the unspeakable hardships Tang Zhou faced, he had indeed stood firm with Ji Qishu, Mo Fei, and Fu Zhuo, opposing Tang Zhou’s relationship with Leng Chenmo.
But in the end, it was Tang Zhou who got hurt.
He just didn’t want to repeat the same mistakes, didn’t want Tang Zhou to get hurt again.
Ye Xingguang was furious, “Really, just because it’s assigned by the state, it means there’s no problem, and he should just give it a try? Maybe this is the best option for him? Ha, you make it sound so noble. Wasn’t I also assigned to you by the state? Why don’t you try?”
After saying this, Ye Xingguang bit her tongue hard. Damn it, she was so angry that she’s babbling nonsense.
Ye Junqing was stunned, seeming to disbelieve that these words had come from her mouth.
The next second, Ye Junqing gave her a deep look, and replied, “Am I not trying it right now?”
Ye Xingguang realized her emotions were out of control. Unsure of what to say, she turned to leave, blabbering along the way, “Anyway, make sure to consider carefully, don’t sacrifice Tang Zhou’s personal happiness for politics, or be careful about everyone turning their backs on you.”
Before she could reach the door, Ye Junqing caught up with her. With a tug, he pulled her, and her body uncontrollably spun half a circle, falling forward into his arms.
Feeling uncomfortable, Ye Xingguang forcefully pushed him, “Let me go.”
“Why are you running when we haven’t finished talking?” At this point, how could Ye Junqing let her go?
He held her chin, forcing her to look him in the eyes. Surprisingly, he noticed a grievance on her face, looking somewhat puzzled, “Why are you upset about Tang Zhou’s matter?”
“Who’s upset?” Ye Xingguang knocked his hand away.
“If you’re not upset, why are you so worked up?” Ye Junqing lifted her face, “Could there be something else bothering you? Tell me who made you upset, I’ll help you settle it.”
“It’s you. If you have the guts, sort yourself out.” Ye Xingguang thought she was going crazy. Why did she walk into his study tonight?
Even now, she didn’t know what she was saying, with a bitter nagging tone, that even she looked down on herself.
But thinking about how he prioritize political goals over personal happiness, it made her heartache. Unable to control her emotions, she lifted her fist and strongly hit his arm.
She admired him more when he ranked high on the list of bachelors for his personal happiness, confidently announcing: ‘Whoever dares to mess with me, prepare your own grave!’
Even though it’s domineering, it felt full of love, full of insistence, refusal to compromise, unwilling to settle with women casually.
So even when he was always publicly saying that there’s no chance he would develop feelings for her over time, to the point of asking her to consciously keep a distance from him, she didn’t think any less of him. But now he’s talking about sacrificing everything for success to Tang Zhou, it disappointed her.
Ye Junqing brought her back to the desk, picked up a feather duster from the table and put it in her hand.
Ye Xingguang asked, “What is this for?”
“For you to give me a thrashing, don’t feel upset.”
Ye Xingguang threw the feather duster on the ground, “Who wants to hit you?”
Ye Junqing pondered, “Wrong prop? Should we switch to a keyboard, or perhaps durian?”
