25 – Then I will break off the engagement even more
Ye Yuntong gave an OK sign over her shoulder without looking back.
“Thanks.”
“Hey, this girl is pretty interesting.” Xu Dongzhi stared at the roguish Ye Yuntong and flashed a silly grin.
Qin Dingzhang tilted his head to look at him.
Interesting?
“She’s definitely suspicious.” Qin Dingzhang’s voice deepened, full of certainty.
Xu Dongzhi pressed his lips downward, furrowed his brow, and shrugged. “No way, Dingzhang. She just looks like a harmless little girl, kind of cute. Aren’t you being too cautious? Besides, Bruce has already been caught. Even if she is suspicious, it has nothing to do with us.”
That’s right, Bruce was already in their hands now. Even if she was suspicious, it had nothing to do with them.
They just needed to capture Bruce.
Whether that woman’s appearance was a coincidence or not, she wasn’t involved in this matter. Otherwise, why didn’t she try to save Bruce or take him away just now?
Qin Dingzhang pinched the bridge of his nose. “Let’s hope so.”
“Relax, Bruce can’t escape now. Get some rest; we still have to go to your fiancée’s house at dawn.” Xu Dongzhi patted Qin Dingzhang’s shoulder as they walked out together.
“Mhm.”
“But are you really going to break off the engagement?”
“Mhm.”
“Why? Is your fiancée ugly?” Xu Dongzhi, a chatterbox, kept asking.
“I’ve never met her.” Qin Dingzhang said flatly.
“You’ve never met her, so why are you in such a hurry to break it off? What if she’s a beauty like that girl just now?”
Qin Dingzhang fell silent for a moment before snorting lightly. “Then I’d want to break it off even more.”
Xu Dongzhi: “…”
Ye Yuntong and Dong Qi returned to the Ye family home.
As soon as they entered, the living room lights were brightly lit. The Ye family hadn’t slept; they were all sitting in the living room waiting for them.
“Why are you back so late?” Ye Hengyu asked first.
“Went out to have fun.” Ye Yuntong glanced at them and headed upstairs.
“Stop!” Old Mrs. Xu snorted disapprovingly. “Everyone’s been waiting for you. Aren’t you going to explain why you’re back so late?”
Ye Yuntong paused mid-step, turned, and walked behind Old Mrs. Xu. Leaning over the back of the sofa, she peered at her. “What kind of explanation do you want to hear? Or is it, old lady, that you can’t sleep without me?”
Old Mrs. Xu: “…”
“Ye Yuntong!”
She had already stopped fussing over the “old lady” title, but how could this lawless brat be so disrespectful?
“Yeah!” Ye Yuntong responded with a grin. She reached out and put an arm around Old Mrs. Xu’s shoulders. “Old lady, back when I was in town, the aunties around your age always hoped I’d sleep over at their houses at night. They told me that with me around, they slept especially soundly.”
“Because I’m born with a fierce aura—even ghosts steer clear of me. If some clueless little ghost bumps into me, they can skip reincarnation altogether…”
Ye Yuntong’s hand moved to Old Mrs. Xu’s head. She boldly patted it. “Old lady, can’t you sleep at night either? If you can’t sleep, I’ll keep you company, okay?”
A big, beaming smile filled Old Mrs. Xu’s vision. She felt a bit unnerved. Ye Yuntong’s whole demeanor was thuggish, and it scared her a little.
“Forget it, forget it! Just go back to your room!”
“Alright.” Ye Yuntong straightened her back, looking at the varied expressions of the people in the living room, and flashed a roguish smile. “If any of you have an issue with me, just say it outright. No need to beat around the bush—I won’t change anyway, so don’t hold it in and make yourselves miserable.”
