Chapter 528: Getting Drunk at the Bar (2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Yan was in a bad mood. When someone flirted with him, he naturally recalled the incident that had occurred that night, which happened to be inside a bar as well.
He had been incredibly disappointed when he saw Zhao Youlin being so intimate with Mu Tingfeng. As such, he got himself drunk. At that moment, a lady attempted to seduce him while he was intoxicated. Just then… she came in to look for him and took him out of the bar. She had escorted him to a hotel, and they…
Now that history was repeating itself, would she appear once again?
No… She would not be seen again. She was already four months pregnant. She was carrying his child. How could she still show up in this kind of place looking for him?
He could not pay her a visit even once, much less expect her to take the initiative to find him!
Thinking of this, Ye Yan became moodier. His expression gradually darkened. He turned his head around and yelled at the flirtatious lady, “Get lost!”
The lady had never expected Ye Yan to treat her with such disdain. The smile on her face turned stiff. Her hand, which she had placed on Ye Yan’s chair and intended to move forward, abruptly came to a halt. Her hand was dangling in mid-air, and she was extremely embarrassed.
Meanwhile, there was another lady who had reacted much slower than the previous one, snickered when she saw this. She quickly approached him and squeezed the woman to the side. She took her place, stretched out her hand and grabbed Ye Yan’s arm.
“Mister, you are inebriated. Let me help you.” Right after the woman spoke gleefully, her outstretched hand was blocked by another bony hand. While she was aiming at Ye Yan’s arm, another person had already grabbed his and quickly pulled him to the side, separating Ye Yan from her.
Ling Ran grinned at the perplexed lady and said, “Miss, there’s no need to cause you trouble. My friend is drunk. I’m going to send him home.”
“But…” The lady had only missed one more step. By the time she recovered her senses, she looked reluctant. Just when she was about to say something, she was startled upon meeting Ling Ran’s cold stare.
“Miss, you must be more self-aware. Don’t lust after something that isn’t yours. Otherwise, you won’t be able to afford the consequences.”
The women’s faces turned white. They glared at Ling Ran angrily before they turned around and left in their heels.
Ling Ran unwittingly heaved a sigh of relief when the women had left. He helped the drunken man up and frowned as he shouted, “Ye Yan! Ye Yan! Get up! Wake up!”
When Ye Yan heard someone shouting his name, he thought that Su He had come to look for him. He shuddered and hugged the person next to him as he cried out, “Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, is that you?”
Ling Ran nearly stumbled when Ye Yan threw himself at him. He took great care to balance himself and said glumly, “Xiao Qi, my foot! Who is Xiao Qi?! Ye Yan, look carefully, I’m Ling Ran.”
“Ling Ran?” Ye Yan forced himself to look Ling Ran in the eyes with his bleary eyes as a result of drunkenness. It took him some time before he recognized the person in front of him. He was disappointed and let go of his hand while mumbling, “Oh, it’s you.”
When Ling Ran heard his words, he was so angry that he nearly suffered from a stroke. He let out a bark of laughter and said, “What do you mean by “Oh, it’s you?” Ye Yan, tell me, what’s going on with Zhao Youlin about remarrying Mu Tingfeng?”
He had just returned from outstation. Just when he was about to see the outcome of his two-month-long “play hard to get” game, he learned about the news of Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng’s second marriage. Besides, they were about to remarry in a week.
The second young master of the Ling family was so shocked that he had skipped meeting his beloved lady, whom he had not seen in two months, and instead went to look for Ye Yan at the Ye family’s house, only to be told that Ye Yan had gone out.
It did not matter that Ye Yan was not at home. However, as Ling Ran was leaving the Ye family’s house, the butler of the Ye family had reminded Ling Ran that Ye Yan had recently been down, and he hoped that Ling Ran, who was also Ye Yan’s childhood best friend, could give him some good advice.
Ling Ran was alarmed upon hearing the butler’s words. He began to form irrational thoughts, especially after failing to find Ye Yan in all possible locations. He was afraid that Ye Yan would commit suicide because he could not face reality.
It had not been easy for Ling Ran to finally find Ye Yan, and yet Ye Yan showed him this kind of attitude. As such Ling Ran was pissed off.
Ye Yan creased his eyebrows when he heard Ling Ran’s words. He asked back, “What does Zhao Youlin’s wedding have to do with me?”
Upon hearing his words, Ling Ran had his eyes fly wide open. He stared at Ye Yan in great disbelief before he stretched out his hand and touched Ye Yan’s forehead, he muttered insanely, “Strange. There is no fever. Did you lose your mind as a result of excessive drinking, or is it as a result of the counterproductive effects of overstimulation?”
“What did you say?” Ye Yan immediately turned his head around and stared coolly at him.
Ling Ran felt goosebumps all over his body under his stare. He quickly changed the topic. He faked a cough and said, “Nothing… I thought… you were madly in love with Zhao Youlin before this, weren’t you? Why did you suddenly…”
Ling Ran’s words had triggered Ye Yan. Ye Yan suddenly let out a loud bark of laughter. However, he laughed in a more obnoxious manner than he cried. “Do I like her? I like Zhao Youlin? No. I dislike her. It’s clear I like Xiao Qi, how could I possibly fall for anyone else? How am I supposed to like other women? It’s no surprise that Xiao Qi is angry and ignores me. She doesn’t want to see me at all. I’ve earned it! I deserve it!”
Ye Yan’s words contained a lot of information. Ling Ran stared at him dumbfounded for some time before he recovered his senses and said fearfully, “Wait a minute. What did you say just now? You don’t like Zhao Youlin but you like Xiao Qi? Who is Xiao Qi? How long has it been since? How are you able to move on to another relationship so quickly? Darn! What’s wrong with you?”
“Move on to another relationship, huh?” Ye Yan was agitated when he heard the words. He grabbed Ling Ran’s shoulders and shook violently while screaming, “I didn’t! I didn’t move on to another relationship! I like Xiao Qi since the beginning and no one else! Nobody else!”
“Alright, alright, alright. There’s no one else except Xiao Qi. Let go of me first.” Ling Ran felt dizzy after being jolted by Ye Yan. His shoulders were painful and his expression had turned extremely dark. His face turned red as he reached out to pull Ye Yan’s hand away but in vain. In the end, he resorted to attempt coaxing Ye Yan to let go of his hand.
Ye Yan cast a bleary glance at Ling Ran as if to confirm the veracity of his words before he slowly let go of his hands.
Ling Ran had the impression that the emperor had finally shown him mercy. He then pushed the drunk back to the bar and reached out to rub his aching arms. He groaned helplessly, “So, who exactly is Xiao Qi?”
Ye Yan laid on top of the bar helplessly. His eyes flashed as he said, “Xiao Qi is the young lady of the Su family.. That’s right, the young lady of the Su family! She’s actually the young lady of the Su family! I can’t believe that I didn’t even know about her… I don’t know…”
