Ming Qianye’s words stunned her.

“Sister Qianye, you… I’m not. I just don’t want to see any misunderstandings between you and my brother and Sister Qianwei. You… don’t have to bully Sister Qianwei all the time. She… I know everything. You’ve really gone a little overboard. Also, Auntie Yang actually treats Lou Che quite well. It’s just that Lou Che always ignores people and always bullies Lou Hui. I really saw it myself…”

“My brother only respects the choices in his heart. He won’t change his mind easily if you do this! Sister Qianye, you’ll only make him dislike you even more… I know my brother too well. If you want to be friends with him and be by his side, you have to let go of these things…”

Ming Qianye couldn’t be bothered to probe into her attitude. She wasn’t interested in this woman at all, but her self-righteous attitude like Mu Ziyi made her a little unhappy.

It seemed that this was not the first time this had happened.

Ming Qianye sneered. There was a hint of indifference in her cold eyes, and her tone was also cold.

“I can understand that you want to be a good person. However, your brother, Mu Ziyi, is just one of my many suitors. Moreover, I’ve never felt that he’s worthy of me. Mu Ziyi is just a mere Mu Ziyi. Your Mu family was not even considered to be a potential partner.”

Ming Qianye wasn’t exaggerating. Her father would never allow her to consider an ordinary family like the Mu family.

Mu Zijiao was stunned and looked at Ming Qianye in disbelief.

“What did you say… You and my brother were…”

“You said that Mu Ziyi looked a little like a friend of mine. I might have used him as a substitute. That’s all,”

Ming Qianye explained very deliberately.

Mu Zijiao’s eyes widened in disbelief. “How is this possible?”

“The truth is often very cruel. I originally wanted to leave you with a sense of superiority. After all, it’s not easy for you to find some balance in my heart.”

Ming Qianye’s cold voice was filled with calmness, and her eyes were clear and undisturbed.

“Impossible! You were so obsessed with my brother before! For him, you almost committed suicide and went to the hospital. Have you forgotten…”

She knew very well how upset Ming Qianye was when Mu Ziyi had a showdown with her. She didn’t recover for a week and was even sent to the hospital…

“Did you see with your own eyes that I’m obsessed with your brother? Or did you hear it with your ears? Did I express my feelings for your brother? Who told you that I committed suicide for Mu Ziyi? I only stayed up late and caught a cold and fever, causing pneumonia to enter the hospital. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the hospital to check. You can even find my hospitalization records.”

Ming Qianye didn’t expect the rumors to spread like this.

She committed suicide because of Mu Ziyi?

She had given him too much respect!

Was he worthy?

Mu Zijiao was shocked. She didn’t expect Ming Qianye to say that, but she still didn’t believe it. Ming Qianye clearly treated her brother very differently… She was always so cold to many people, except for her brother, Mu Ziyi. Her tone was gentle, her attitude was very calm, and she would even smile…

Wasn’t this proof that she liked him?

One time at the gathering, someone even asked who Mu Ziyi was. At that time, Ming Qianye seemed to be slightly drunk and recited a poem in a low voice. Everyone could still clearly hear the words ‘Light of Life’. From then on, everyone knew Mu Ziyi’s place in Ming Qianye’s heart!

A drunk man speaks the truth!

How could she say it wasn’t now?

Therefore, Mu Zijiao didn’t believe it at all.

“Alright, Miss Mu, you’ve been disturbing me for a long time. I still have something on. Can you leave now?”

Ming Qianye coldly ordered her to leave.

Mu Zijiao was stunned, unable to react in time.

However, seeing Ming Qianye’s attitude, Mu Zijiao, who had always been respected, couldn’t stand it either. She couldn’t put down her pride and stay any longer, so she could only get up and leave.

She didn’t look too good when she left, so she glared at Ming Qianye.

Bang!

Ming Qianye ignored her and closed the door.

As she turned around, she suddenly heard movement from the bedroom.

Ming Qianye immediately walked over and pushed open the door.

She saw the Devil, who was originally sleeping soundly on the bed, sitting in front of her dressing table. His long and slender legs were crossed leisurely, and his handsome face had returned to its usual calmness. The faint cyan color under his eyes had faded, and the Devil, who was now rested, was indeed powerful and energetic.

Sensing that Ming Qianye had entered, Shen Tinglan also raised his eyes leisurely. In an instant, Ming Qianye felt as if she had been hit by the enemy’s spotlight and was instantly exposed!

In the end, he had still been awoken. This gaze was too lethal, frighteningly sharp, and treacherous. For some reason, Ming Qianye felt that she was doomed!

Ming Qianye frowned and met his threatening gaze. She said quietly, “Wash up and eat something. The food should still be warm in the pot.”

“You have a lot of suitors?”

The Devil’s low and hoarse voice sounded very calm, but Ming Qianye somehow caught the coldness in his words.

A few lines appeared on Ming Qianye’s forehead. She narrowed her eyes and said coldly, “Don’t you have as many?”

Shen Tinglan raised his eyebrows and stared at her for a while. The coldness in his eyes suddenly disappeared. He stood up slowly and walked out…

When he walked past her, he paused for a moment and looked down at her with his unfathomable eyes. Ming Qianye took a deep breath, straightened her back, and stared back at him, unwilling to be intimidated.

The man’s slightly cold fingertips suddenly reached over and gently brushed past her cheek. Her hair had already been pushed behind her ear by him, and his half-amused voice brushed past her ear.

“Am I good enough for you?”

The Devil’s question had always been straightforward and simple, but it hit the nail on the head!

Ming Qianye was stunned for a moment, but she seemed to be used to it. She quickly reacted and nodded seriously when she met his strange and unpredictable eyes. She replied seriously, “Of course, isn’t that why we’re engaged?”

The Devil suddenly chuckled and said in satisfaction, “So you haven’t forgotten the fact that we’re engaged.”

Would she dare to forget?

Ming Qianye was frowning.

“Have you ever liked anyone else?”

The Devil’s cold fingertips gently pressed against her delicate chin as he asked another question. His question was like a ticking time bomb. It was so straightforward that it was suffocating. Even Ming Qianye felt extremely pressured!
