Chapter 174: Seen By Third Brother
Chu Yan curled his lips. As he turned the steering wheel to the left, he asked, “I’ll take you out for supper?”
Ye Qingran shook her head. “No, I was planning to go to bed early for the flight tomorrow. Oh my gosh, I really broke out into a cold sweat just now. If you had come any later, I might have had to…”
She did not finish the rest of her sentence.
Suddenly, she realized that this did not fit her playboy persona.
Chu Yan asked, “What would you have had to do?”
Ye Qingran giggled and waved her hand. “Nothing, nothing. Brother, please just send me back to the Bai family.”
Chu Yan did not say anything and directly drove Ye Qingran back to the Bai residence.
Ye Qingran was not in a hurry to get out of the car. She looked at Chu Yan and smiled. “Brother, thank you for today. You should go back quickly and rest early.”
Chu Yan hummed softly. “See you in Jiang City.”
“Okay.”
As Ye Qingran spoke, she suddenly spread her arms and leaned forward to hug Chu Yan. “Let’s have a farewell hug.”
Her heart was beating so fast. Right after she hugged him, she quickly tried to let go.
However, Chu Yan hugged her back instead. One of his arms was wrapped around her waist and he did not let go for a few seconds. He even whispered in her ear, “Wait for me to go back.”
Ye Qingran was about to respond.
Before she could make a sound, she heard a scream from outside.
The two of them let go subconsciously. They turned around and saw Bai Beibei and Ye Chenfeng standing by the roadside, looking at them in shock.
Bai Beibei was stunned.
Ye Chenfeng, on the other hand, was stunned. His mind was a mess.
He even feels like his ears were buzzing.
He looked at Ye Qingran and then at Chu Yan.
He raised his trembling finger and pointed at the two of them. “You, you two…”
Ye Qingran said to Chu Yan, “Brother, you can go first. It’ll be fine.”
Chu Yan said, “Should I say hello to your brother?”
Ye Qingran shook her head. “No, don’t worry. I can handle it.”
Chu Yan hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Ye Qingran pushed the door open and got out of the car. She waved at Chu Yan.
Chu Yan looked at Ye Qingran and then at Ye Chenfeng. Seeing that Ye Chenfeng was glaring at him, he still nodded politely as a form of greeting before driving away.
Ye Chenfeng’s expression changed drastically. He cried out loudly, “He’s gone! How dare he leave just like that?”
He pointed at Ye Qingran and said, “You rascal. When you’ve had so many girlfriends, no one criticized you about it. But now, you even went on to chase after men!”
Bai Beibei comforted him, “Calm down. It might just be a friendly hug.”
Ye Qingran took a deep breath and said with great difficulty, “Third Brother, it’s really not what you think it is. That hug just now was…”
Ye Chenfeng interrupted her and said dryly, “When you start saying words like this, there’s always something romantic going on between the two people.”
Ye Qingran: “…”
Ye Chenfeng took a deep breath and looked like he was about to die. “Previously, on your birthday, someone photoshopped a picture of you in women’s clothing, hinting at your sexual orientation. You still refused to admit your sexual orientation. Instead would rather say that you’re a woman! As expected, they were right about it. You really like men.”
He angrily scolded in the direction that Chu Yan had left. “You clearly liked women in the past. Why did you suddenly turn out like this? Did that man from just now turn you gay!”
Ye Qingran said lightly, “Forget it if you don’t believe me. You’ll understand in the future. It’s very late, I’m going to bed.”
Then, she smiled at Bai Beibei. “People in love don’t have to sleep, so you guys can continue on your date. Good night.”
She waved goodbye and went straight into the house.
Ye Chenfeng was going crazy behind her. He stomped his feet and pointed at Ye Qingran. “B*stard, stop right there! I haven’t finished questioning you. Who told you that you could go sleep?”
Ye Qingran did not turn her head and went straight to her room to sleep instead.
The next day, when Ye Chenfeng saw Ye Qingran, he immediately glared at her angrily.
“You can’t fool around with this matter. You can’t hide from it forever either. Hurry up and tell me honestly. When did you find out that you like men? Who was that man? When did you two get to know each other in Capital City? How long have you known each other? How long have you been together…”
“I already said that it was a misunderstanding.”
“A misunderstanding? If it really was a misunderstanding, why didn’t you dare to tell me who that man was? When did you two meet in Capital City? How long have you known each other? How long have you been together…”
For the first time, Ye Qingran realized that her third brother had the potential to become a Buddhist monk.
His chanting was so noisy.
He just kept asking the same questions back and forth.
Fortunately, she was busy with school when she returned to Jiang City.
As for Ye Chenfeng, he was dragged off by Ye Jun to help out with the company.
However, every time they met, Ye Chenfeng would always ask those same questions again.
He even threatened that he would only give her half a month to think about how to answer him. Otherwise, he would tell Ye Jun to teach her a lesson.
This made Ye Qingran want to move to Chu Yan’s small villa immediately.
On the first day of school, she made plans with Chu Ruoruo, Tang Tang, Chi Xun, and Zi Xia to have lunch together. Yet, some anonymous person took photos of their outing and posted them on the school website.
It caused a commotion on the school website for the whole day.
This kept going on until the picture of Mu Qingxue appearing on the school campus was uploaded to the school website.
Only then did people shift their focus of discussion to her.
Previously, someone had reported Mu Qingxue.
However, the school did not expel Mu Qingxue, hence Mu Qingxue still came back to report to school. However, she only came to report her attendance and did not appear in the school again.
Ye Qingran reported to school and even went for a class meeting.
The strange thing was that Class Seven had a new class monitor this semester. It was no longer Hua Chi.
Just like Mu Qingxue, Hua Chi also just came to the school to report his attendance. He also applied not to have revision classes in school. After that, he never returned to school again.
It seemed that Hua Chi was not the only one. There were a couple other students who also applied to revise at home.
Zi Xia came over to gossip with her, “Oh my god, let me tell you something shocking. I heard that Ning Yanshan is pregnant, that’s why she chose not to have revision classes in school..”
Ning Yanshan?
This person did not have much presence in the class.
If Zi Xia did not tell her about this, she probably would have almost forgotten about Ning Yanshan.
However, she was not surprised that she was pregnant.
After all, she did not think that Ning Yanshan liked her back then, yet she still acted like she was infatuated with Ye Qingran. She even drugged Ye Qingran, hoping to be able to sleep with him.
If she had to use this tactic on her, naturally she would also use it on other men.
Therefore, Ye Qingran did not really care much that Ning Yanshan was pregnant.
After all, nothing happened between that day.
This pregnancy had nothing to do with her.
Even if Ning Yanshan was slightly smarter, no matter how shameless she was, it was impossible for her to blame the child on her.
But that day, even before Ye Qingran entered the house, she heard a sobbing voice, “The child in my daughter’s belly is your son’s…”
The maid saw Ye Qingran at the door and immediately ran over anxiously.
She said, “Fourth Young Master, you’re finally back. A woman showed up at our doorstep with her daughter and said that you knocked up her daughter.”
Ye Qingran let out an “aha” sound. That was surprising…
