Guan Tang’s eyes shone with excitement as she said, “Do you know? Zhuang Ning’s boyfriend is Yin Jia’s boyfriend as well?”
Jiahui pretended to be shocked as she asked, “You’re saying Zhuang Ning’s a third party in their relationship?”
Guan Tang waved her hand and said, “What are you saying? What do you mean by Zhuang Ning’s the third party? Yin Jia is the third party, okay? Yin Jia snatched another woman’s boyfriend away! She used her family background to break up a pair of lovers.”
Guan Tang laughed.
Jiahui looked at Guan Tang with a puzzled expression. She did not understand what was so funny about this.
After Guan Tang was done laughing, she said, “How fun! This is karma!”
Jiahui ate her noodles, and after a while, she asked, “Which of you snatched whose boyfriend?”
Guan Tang said disdainfully, “Of course, I snatched hers. What charm does she have to snatch a boyfriend from me?”
Jiahui knew Guan Tang’s crazy talk was about to begin again.
…
Peng Peng accompanied Zhuang Ning home. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Ye Cheng waiting for her. Her expression changed immediately, and without thinking, she turned around and walked out.
“Zhuang Ning!” Ye Cheng called out. He reacted quickly; he rose to his feet and hurriedly grabbed her.
Zhuang Ning shook off Ye Cheng’s hand, took a few steps back, and asked Peng Peng frostily, “Why is he here?”
Peng Peng hurriedly pleaded on Ye Cheng’s behalf and said, “Sister Zhuang Ning, Young Master Ye has something to say to you. I saw that he was really sincere so I let him in.”
Zhuang Ning sneered. “Really sincere? How funny. He’s the son-in-law of a wealthy family now; what does he have to say to me? Why should I listen to him?”
Peng Peng was at a loss for words. She turned to look at Ye Cheng with a helpless expression on her face.
Ye Cheng lowered his voice and asked, “Zhuang Ning, can you listen to me?”
“No!” Zhuang Ning said without hesitation.
Chills permeated Ye Cheng’s heart immediately. He hurriedly said, “Zhuang Ning, please give me a chance. Let me explain.”
When Ye Cheng saw that Zhuang Ning’s expression seemed to ease slightly, he quickly shot Peng Peng a meaningful look, signaling her to leave.
Peng Peng did not dare to move. Instead, she looked at Zhuang Ning.
Zhuang Ning sneered and said, “Young Master Ye, if you have something to say, then say it. However, my manager has to be here so she can be a witness. Otherwise, if word of this gets out in the future, it won’t be good for me.”
Ye Cheng smiled bitterly with a helpless expression on his face. “Zhuang Ning, listen to me. I really have no other choice. I really have no feelings for Yin Jia. From the beginning until now, there’s only you in my heart!”
Zhuang Ning looked at Ye Cheng and scoffed coldly. “I understand. It’s a business marriage. I really didn’t expect you to be such a scumbag. You don’t love her, but you pretend to love her. Then, you come to me and tell me the person you love most is me. I’m really lucky that Young Master Ye looks at me so favorably. Thank you very much. All I ask is that you leave me alone from now on. Just like during the day, treat me like a stranger. Please let me go. I don’t want to be dragged into your business marriage.”
As Zhuang Ning spoke, tears rolled down her face, causing Ye Cheng’s heart to ache. However, there was a hint of joy in his heart as well. He had never been able to figure out Zhuang Ning’s feelings for him. He did not expect his affair with Yin Jia would be able to reveal her feelings for him. As it turned out, she liked him as well. She was just hiding her feelings or testing him previously. Now, due to external issues, her feelings for him had been exposed. The Zhuang Ning in front of him now made it even more difficult for him to restrain his feelings. He thought that she was the best gift that God had given him.
