Chapter 27 - This Woman Is Really Amazing

Ye Tianchen felt quite depressed.

He hadn’t expected that a simple barbecue would lead to a run-in with Qi Ruxue.

In the vast Capital City, the chance of them bumping into each other seemed fated—should he consider it fate or just bad luck?

He remembered their first meeting when they were supposed to call off their engagement, although ultimately, Qi Ruxue tore up the agreement, meaning they weren’t formally divorced.

However, in Ye Tianchen’s eyes, the marriage was already over.

He wasn’t the kind to waver and cling to the Qi family over a failed marriage, not in this life or the past.

“First, we practically never met before this, this is only our second time.

Besides, you know very well our engagement was set up by the old men from the Qi family and the Ye family.

Moreover, I have no feelings for you, and I believe you feel the same about me.

So, there really is no being unfaithful or inconstant here.

Bye!”

After speaking, Ye Tianchen ran towards the other side of the street.

Qi Ruxue’s sudden appearance and her insistence puzzled him, and with how the Qi family had treated the Ye family, Ye Tianchen had no good feelings towards Qi Ruxue and planned to vanish quickly.

Seeing Ye Tianchen cross at the traffic light to the other side of the road, Qi Ruxue quickly followed him, dragging her suitcase.

It was the middle of the night, and Qi Ruxue, who had grown up abroad, had few friends in China, was determined not to let Ye Tianchen out of her sight.

Actually, when Qi Ruxue stepped out of Qi estate with her suitcase, she was unsure where to go.

Staying in a hotel didn’t seem safe, and returning to the estate was also out of the question since her father, Qi Changsheng, was intent on marrying her off to the Qin family.

Running away was the only way Qi Ruxue could fight for her freedom and happiness.

But then, just when Qi Ruxue didn’t know where to go, she saw Ye Tianchen at a roadside barbecue stand—it was a pleasant surprise.

Even though they weren’t close, Qi Ruxue knew after their meeting at Sea King Group that he wasn’t interested in her, but at least by going home with him, she wouldn’t face physical danger and would have a place to stay, which was better than wandering around Capital City in the middle of the night.

Hence, Qi Ruxue, deciding on this course of action, pretended to be familiar with Ye Tianchen, and even when he ignored her, she pulled out the “fiancée” card in an attempt to force him to take her home.

Unexpectedly, Ye Tianchen showed no emotional intelligence at all, completely disregarding her and walking away alone, which infuriated Qi Ruxue so much that she wanted to beat him up, yet she still hurriedly chased after him, because otherwise, she’d have to spend the night on the streets.

Qi Ruxue, focused only on chasing Ye Tianchen, did not notice that the traffic light for pedestrians had turned green.

Just as she sped up in the middle of the street, a huge truck turned sharply towards her.

The truck’s sudden maneuver frightened the driver, who was sweating profusely; unable to stop the truck, it headed straight for Qi Ruxue, a direct hit seeming inevitable.

“Ah…”

Hearing Qi Ruxue’s scream, Ye Tianchen turned and saw the large truck barreling towards her, now less than a meter away, a deadly outcome nearly certain.

Ye Tianchen frowned, his superpower of Monarch Level spreading throughout his body, leaving an afterimage where he stood, disappearing from sight.

With a loud crash, Qi Ruxue’s suitcase was hurled into the air.

The truck performed an emergency stop, skidding more than three meters on the road before it came to a halt.

The terrified driver nearly urinated in fear as he saw the suitcase and its contents scattered, his face going pale.

When the truck driver, trembling and hesitant, finally got out to assess the situation, he found Ye Tianchen on the roadside, embracing Qi Ruxue as they lay on the ground.

“Are you alright, are you dead?” asked Ye Tianchen as he got up.

“You’re the one who’s dead.

Heartless jerk,” Qi Ruxue turned to Ye Tianchen, pouting her sensual lips fiercely.

“If I were heartless, I wouldn’t have saved you.

I’m done dealing with you, goodbye!”

Ye Tianchen dusted off his hands, gave Qi Ruxue a disdainful glance, and walked away.

If he hadn’t fully activated his superpower to increase his speed several times and teleported there, Qi Ruxue would probably be dead.

Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story stupa, and even though he had little to do with Qi Ruxue, he couldn’t just watch her get hit by a truck.

“Big jerk, stop, ah…”

Qi Ruxue tried to stand up but suddenly screamed in pain, falling to the ground.

It seemed she had hurt her right ankle after all.

“Heartless, insensitive jerk…”

Tears flowed in Qi Ruxue’s beautiful eyes, partly due to anger at Ye Tianchen and partly because she felt utterly unsupported.

Her family was determined to marry her off to the Qin family, trading her personal happiness for the family’s greatest benefit.

Even her father, Qi Changsheng, who doted on her, was not on her side; Qi Ruxue was deeply saddened.

“You’re only allowed to stay for one night, and you must leave tomorrow!”

Upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s voice, Qi Ruxue looked up and saw that he was still watching her expressionlessly, leaving Qi Ruxue unsure whether to feel happy or to wallop Ye Tianchen with her fists.

Ye Tianchen was also somewhat at a loss, not knowing why he had ultimately agreed to Qi Ruxue’s request.

Perhaps it was because he saw that Qi Ruxue still had some beauty, or maybe because he couldn’t bear to see a woman sadly wiping away tears, or perhaps it was fate…

He picked Qi Ruxue up and carried her on his back.

Before Qi Ruxue could react, Ye Tianchen had already headed towards the next intersection.

There had been an accident at this intersection, and traffic would soon be congested.

To get a taxi home, they had to go to the next intersection.

Qi Ruxue’s right ankle was injured, so he had no choice but to carry her.

“Hey, you big meanie, what are you doing?

Put me down!” Qi Ruxue, being carried on a man’s back for the first time, struggled with a slightly flushed beautiful face.

“Stop squirming.

You’ve hurt your right foot, and it’s inconvenient for you to move.

If you fall again because of moving about, I’m not responsible.

Also, I need to tell you something, the ground is very hard, especially for a woman with a big butt like you—it’ll hurt a lot if you fall.”

Qi Ruxue’s face flushed even redder, grinding her tiny canine teeth, wishing she could bite Ye Tianchen.

To say in front of a girl that her butt is big, how could she not feel embarrassed?

He’s such a guy with no emotional intelligence.

Half an hour later, Ye Tianchen and Qi Ruxue arrived at the entrance of the Ye family’s villa.

Considering it was already past one in the morning, Ye Tianchen guessed that his mom and sister had already gone to sleep, so he carried Qi Ruxue inside and unlocked the front door with his key.

Unexpectedly, when Ye Tianchen carried Qi Ruxue through the front door, his mom Luo Yan and his sister Ye Qianwen were still up, chatting and watching TV in the living room.

As soon as Ye Tianchen entered, both his mom and sister turned to look at them, and they immediately noticed Qi Ruxue being carried on his back, first showing surprise and then a radiant smile as they welcomed them.

Luo Yan and Ye Qianwen exchanged glances, both faces breaking into smiles as if to tease Ye Tianchen, “You’re pretty quick to bring a woman home!

Not bad, not bad!”

“Oh, son, you’re back!

And who is this young lady?” Luo Yan asked with a smile.

“Bro, you’re pretty fast, already knowing how to carry girls home.

How should I address this beautiful sister?” Ye Qianwen joked and laughed.

Hearing the words of Luo Yan and Ye Qianwen, Ye Tianchen and Qi Ruxue snapped back to reality, especially Qi Ruxue who was blushing profusely.

She quickly got down from Ye Tianchen’s back and said sheepishly, “Hello, aunty, I’m Qi Ruxue.”

“You, you’re Qi Ruxue?”

“Are you the Qi Ruxue who called off the engagement with my brother?”

“Yes, aunty, I really didn’t know about the engagement being called off with Tianchen, I’m so sorry…

I don’t want to leave Tianchen!”

Qi Ruxue, being a very clever woman, knew that if she wanted to stay at the Ye family, she needed Luo Yan and Ye Qianwen to like her.

With the Qi family forcefully calling off the engagement, which was a humiliation for the Ye family, they definitely wouldn’t be fond of her.

Now, her only choice was to portray herself as a victim to gain their sympathy.

“Wait, can you not talk nonsense!” Ye Tianchen looked at Qi Ruxue with frustration.

“Aunty, little sister, I’ve been studying abroad and just came back.

I just found out that my family insisted on calling off the engagement with Tianchen to marry me to Qin Heng of the Qin family.

You must understand, what a woman desires is to spend her life with the man she loves.

Although I haven’t spent much time with Tianchen, I love him.

A woman follows her husband no matter where he goes, I will not marry Qin Heng, I want to marry Tianchen!” Qi Ruxue spoke more and more sorrowfully, almost starting to cry.

“With your acting skills, not going into acting is such a waste; you could definitely win an Oscar!” Ye Tianchen said dryly while glancing at Qi Ruxue.

“Tianchen, you rascal, how can you speak like that?

Ruxue is so pretty, loves you, and is willing to follow you despite her family’s objections; that takes a lot of courage.

Mom won’t allow you to mistreat her!” Luo Yan sternly told Ye Tianchen.

“Exactly, bro, having such a beautiful and devoted sister like Ruxue is your good fortune!

Don’t be ungrateful.” Ye Qianwen also glared at Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen was caught between laughter and tears, truly surprised at how quickly his mom and sister had been swayed by Qi Ruxue’s fabricated stories and exaggerated acting.

Meanwhile, Qi Ruxue had a mischievous smile on her lips and teasingly stuck her tongue out at Ye Tianchen.
