Chapter 78: Fanning the Flames

Chapter 78

"My little ancestor, you have always been the only one, there is no one else." An Nuan's voice was deep and thick, and the sweet words he spoke echoed gently in her ears.

An Nuan really didn't know how Ye Jinghuai could be so effortlessly smooth with his flirting.

These excessively doting words, how did he manage to say them so easily? The most important thing was that paired with his incredibly magnetic voice, what woman could withstand it?

"Smooth talker." An Nuan pretended to be angry.

She was actually trying to conceal the turmoil in her heart.

She felt that if this continued, she would be easily swept off her feet by this scumbag in front of her.

Qi Qi was right.

Even if she couldn't be with Gu Yan Sheng, she also couldn't be with Ye Jinghuai.

Men.

Not one of them was any good.

"Let me go, I have very important things to do." An Nuan pushed away Ye Jinghuai who was leaning on her.

This man didn't look fat at all, when clothed he even looked rather slender and thin, yet she didn't know how at this moment his weight pressing down on her was like a lump of iron, rendering her unable to move.

Ye Jinghuai looked at her, her face flushed red, but he didn't continue to tease An Nuan. He got up from her.

An Nuan breathed a sigh of relief.

She adjusted her emotions, making herself look very serious, "Ye Jinghuai, I have something I need to tell your family."

Ye Jinghuai nodded.

It seemed like he had expected this.

"Go see if your sister has returned to her room yet."

Ye Jinghuai frowned.

"Sorry for the trouble." An Nuan appeared very polite.

Ye Jinghuai's expression changed faster than a flipped book. At this moment his face instantly looked unhappy as he turned and left.

After a while.

He stood in the doorway, his tall figure casually leaning against the door, and said to An Nuan, "She's returned to her room, you can go out now."

His tone was clearly somewhat passive aggressive.

An Nuan also didn't know what this guy was upset about.

She was so considerate of his sister's feelings, shouldn't he be happy about it?!

Oh well.

"You don't need to explain this." Yun Yuqing directly interrupted her words, "We are all very clear that Pan Mila was definitely not killed by you. Jingjing was just too emotional this morning, Pan Mila's death impacted her greatly, that's why she spoke so thoughtlessly. Rest assured, I, and everyone in our family, all believe you have no relation to this. Jingjing believes so as well."

"If Jingjing believed, I wouldn't have needed to leave here." An Nuan gave a faint smile, appearing somewhat helpless.

"It's because she temporarily cannot accept Pan Mila's death, so she trapped herself in a stubborn mindset. In a few days, once Jingjing has accepted Pan Mila's passing, she will be fine." Yun Yuqing was trying her best to smooth things over.

"But I feel that I need to tell the truth of what happened." An Nuan was very firm.

"Didn't you already agree? Why suddenly go back on your word now?!" Tong Zhitong started fanning the flames, "Aren't you deliberately trying to make things difficult for auntie by doing this?"

"Zhitong." Ye Jingxuan said her name lowly.

Tong Zhitong ignored Ye Jingxuan. She grumbled a couple more sentences, "If you didn't agree with auntie's arrangements, you should have spoken up earlier. On one hand trying to play the slut while also wanting to set up a chastity arch, don't you feel you're being a bit shameless?"

"Zhitong!" Ye Jingxuan's voice was clearly heavier.

In that moment, Tong Zhitong even felt an intense gaze.

She secretly gritted her teeth.

Ye Jinghuai had always looked down on women with disdain.

Since when would he stand up for a woman?

Was the gaze staring at her right now a warning?

An Nuan was also looking at Tong Zhitong like this. She was very clear that Tong Zhitong was definitely not on the same side as her. Her kindly reminding her to pay attention to Ye Jingjing was also not truly wanting to help her, it was just an offhand remark, waiting to watch her make a fool of herself.

Now seeing that she had been bullied by Ye Jingjing just as miserably, she was probably secretly ridiculing in her heart.

Therefore she couldn't help intentionally mocking her a couple times, to both humiliate her and balance out the grievance she had once suffered - truly killing two birds with one stone!

It also had to be said.

Yun Yuqing was also actually somewhat annoyed in her heart right now.

She was very clear that in this matter An Nuan had truly suffered injustice.

What family would drive out their new daughter-in-law on the first day she arrives?

She also felt awful about it.

But hearing that An Nuan was well-read and courteous since childhood, she had also hoped and believed that she would be understanding.

However, at this moment.

An Nuan's stubborn insistence on proving her own innocence gave somewhat of an unforgiving vibe.

Especially following Tong Zhitong's provocations, An Nuan's actions could easily cause resentment in the Ye family.

After all, in the Ye family's perspective, Ye Jingjing's health was most important right now.

Everything else was truly trivial in comparison!
