The smile on Dongfang Yu's face became unpredictable.

“Are you naïve or stupid? How this marriage turns out is not dependent on your family, but both our families.”

“Did you think that if you got a boyfriend, had an unclear relationship with Ye Qingran, then it's enough to get our engagement annulled?”

“Then I can tell you with certainty that the more you act like this, the less likely your grandfather will take the initiative to annul the engagement.”

“It doesn't matter whether I agree to the engagement or not. The engagement will definitely not be broken off. Since that's the case, why not just listen to them? As for the future, even if we get married, we won't interfere with each other.”

As long as Mu Qingxue was not involved, Dongfang Yu's IQ was extremely high. After all, he was the successor that was personally groomed by Grandfather Dongfang.

He had to know how to capture people's hearts and how to negotiate.

Zixia was obviously furious at his words and did not know how to retaliate.

She raised her hands and tried to calm her anger.

Ye Qingran, who was leaning against the car, said calmly, “What are you angry about? Since even if you have a boyfriend, the engagement can't be cancelled, and instead just make matters more set in stone, then let's just break up.”

“As for the engagement ceremony, I'll give you a break-up gift. You can play it during the engagement ceremony, it's in HD, and there's no restrictions. Since it's in HD, the people inside can be seen very clearly. At that time, some people won't be able to find excuses.”

“I believe that at the engagement ceremony, if your grandfather saw this video, and saw his future grandson-in-law being so affectionate with another woman, he would be so angry that he wouldn't allow the ceremony to continue, even if he didn't call off the marriage.”

The more Zixia listened, the brighter her eyes became. “Ye Qingran, this is a good idea. Why didn't I think of it?”

Dongfang Yu's face darkened. “Ye Qingran, you're threatening me.”

Ye Qingran spread her hands and said matter-of-factly, “Isn't it obvious?”

Dongfang Yu gritted his teeth. “I really couldn't tell that you were so sinister.”

Ye Qingran sneered. “Everyone is playing dirty tricks. No one can say that anyone is noble, let alone calling someone sinister.”

Zixia puffed her cheeks and glared at Dongfang Yu angrily. She echoed Ye Qingran's words. “Yes, that's right.”

She took two steps forward and said to Dongfang Yu, “If you agree to hold the engagement ceremony during the New Years, then I'll send the video directly. When that time comes, my grandfather will be so angry that he'll probably be sent to the hospital.”

Dongfang Yu's gaze fell on Zixia, “Even if we don't hold it during the New Years, we still have to hold it after the college entrance exams.”

After saying this, he returned to the car with a cold expression and left immediately.

Zixia kept staring at Dongfang Yu's back. “I won't do it even after the college entrance exam. If you want me to marry you, there's no way.”

Ye Qingran patted her shoulder. “Don't say anymore, he can't hear anyways.”

Zixia turned to look at Ye Qingran and asked hopefully, “Ye Qingran, if I show that video to my grandfather, do you think my grandfather will dissolve the marriage?”

Ye Qingran replied, “It's useless. Besides, this threat won't last long. Dongfang Yu will find a way to resolve it. As for how to break off the engagement, we still have to think about it carefully.”

Zixia's face turned bitter.

After bidding farewell to Zixia, Ye Qingran returned to the small villa.

She entered the house and saw Chu Yan coming down the stairs with a small suitcase in his hand.

Chu Yan spoke first when he saw her, “I have to go home to take care of some things. The plane leaves in two hours.”

“Go home?” Ye Qingran was stunned for a moment before she could react. Why did he have to take a plane to get to Ruoruo's?

“Ruoruo didn't tell you that we're actually cousins? Her father is my uncle,” Chu Yan asked.

Ye Qingran immediately understood.

She nodded. Chu Ruoruo did tell her that Chu Yan grew up in her house, but they were actually cousins. Chu Yan's mother was her biological aunt.

It was obvious that Chu Yan had made a last-minute decision. Something serious must have happened.

Ye Qingran asked, “Will you be gone for long?”

Chu Yan replied, “Yes, I'll probably only be back after the New Year.”

Such a long time, Ye Qingran felt a little disappointed. She smiled and said, “Then I wish you a safe journey, brother.”

“Okay.”

Chu Yan replied softly. When he walked to the font of Ye Qingran, he put down the suitcase in his hand and suddenly reached out to hug her.

But he quickly let go. “Wait for me to come back.”

This sentence did not seem special. After all, he had hugged her before when he went to the airport to pick her up, but Ye Qingran still felt her heart speed up, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

She looked at Chu Yan in a daze and blurted out, “Yes, I'll wait for you to come back.”

Chu Yan did not stay any longer and left with his suitcase.

After the sound of the door closing faded, Ye Qingran suddenly felt that the entire world seemed to have quieted down.

In the past, when she was alone in the small villa, Ye Qingran had never thought that this house was big, that it was lonely to be the only one here.

Instead, she felt peaceful and at ease.

But today, she suddenly felt that the small villa that was missing Chu Yan, was so quiet that it made people feel lonely.

After washing up, Ye Qingran prepared to go to bed early.

However, she could not fall asleep no matter how much she rolled around on the bed.

She picked up her phone and played with it for a while. Feeling bored, she put down her phone and hid under the blanket, ready to sleep. However, after a while, she reached out and picked up her phone.

She did this a few times.

Tossing and turning under the blanket, she did not feel sleepy at all.

She sat up on the bed and took a look at her phone. The plane was about to take off. Should she send a message.

Just as she was hesitating, the phone rang. It was Chu Yan calling.

Ye Qingran immediately picked it up. “Brother.”

Her voice was soft and affectionate, filled with uncontrollable joy.

She leaned against the headboard and turned on the speakerphone. She turned the volume up to the maximum. “Your plane is about to take off, right?”

Chu Yan said softly, “Yes, I have to switch my phone off soon. I gave you a call to let you know that you won't be able to reach me for the next three hours.”

“Yes, just send me a message to let me know when you've arrived safely, brother. I'll wake up tomorrow morning to check on you.”

Through the phone line, Ye Qingran listened to the deep and pleasant voice and suddenly felt very fulfilled.

The cold silence of this small villa seemed to have disappeared.

She suddenly made a decision. “Brother, when you come back, I want to talk to you about something.”

Chu Yan asked, “What is it?”

The corners of Ye Qingran's lips curled up into a happy smile as she slowly said, “It's a very, very important matter, but I'm not anxious. Moreover, I can't explain it clearly over the phone, so it's better to wait for you to come back first. I also want to wait for you to come back first before talking about it.”

The other side was silent for half a second before Chu Yan's voice rang out. “Are you going to give me a surprise?”

Ye Qingran shook her head. “Whether it's a surprise or a shock, I don't know. It depends on you.”

She suddenly wanted to see Chu Yan's shocked expression when he found out that she was a girl.

Chu Yan smiled. “I'm looking forward to it.”
