Ye Qingran looked in the direction where the Su siblings left.
This brother of Su Kefei looked familiar as well, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
At the same time, she also thought of the last male lead in the original novel, Su Yian, who had captivated the original protagonist and was the most powerful of the five male leads.
It was mentioned in the original novel that Su Yian had a sister, but it seemed that she had not officially appeared.
Because Chu Yan knew Su Kefei’s brother, Ye Qingran asked, “Su Kefei’s brother, is he called Su Yian?”
Chu Yan shifted his gaze to her. “You know him?”
Ye Qingran shook her head. “I don’t know him.”
However, it seemed that the Su siblings were connected to her. One time, she bought medicine for Chu Yan and ended up saving Su Kefei. Another time, she was having a meal with Chi Xun and unintentionally saved a man.
That man seemed to be Su Yian.
Chu Yan replied, “Is that so?”
Seeing the coldness in his eyes and the sourness in his tone, Ye Qingran looked at him in surprise and smiled faintly. “It was just a casual question. Don’t mistakenly think about it.”
Chu Yan pursed his lips. “What am I thinking about mistakenly?”
Ye Qingran raised her eyebrows and teased, “You give me the feeling that you’ve eaten a lemon. It seems that you’re really thinking wrongly.”
Chu Yan frowned and put his arm around her shoulder. “You knew that I would misunderstand, yet you still act like you’re interested in other men.”
“I’m not interested. I’m just asking casually.”
Ye Qingran hugged his waist and looked up at him. “I’m only interested in you. It’s like being on drugs. I seriously suspect that you’re a vixen who has cultivated for a thousand years.”
Chu Yan pinched Ye Qingran’s little face. “Do you like to tease me, or do you like to tease men?”
Ye Qingran said, “I like to tease you very much.”
Chu Yan said, “Then continue.”
The two of them joked along the way before entering the restaurant.
During dinner, Chu Yan said to Ye Qingran, “I’m going to Southern Europe in a few days.”
Ye Qingran nodded, indicating that she understood.
Chu Yan suddenly said very seriously, “Come with me.”
Normally, when Ye Qingran was in school, Chu Yan would not make such a request. But recently, Ye Qingran had been constantly harassed, so he was not at ease leaving Ye Qingran alone.
Ye Qingran said, “I still have classes. I’ll go during winter vacation or summer vacation.”
Chu Yan said, “You can ask for leave.”
Ye Qingran knew what he was worried about.
If she followed Chu Yan to Southern Europe, she might temporarily be safe and would not be harassed. However, the matter would not be resolved. When she returned, it would still be the same as before.
Moreover, she was suspecting whether it was because Chu Yan was around, that the harasser did not dare to be too obvious.
If Chu Yan left, she might be able to use this opportunity to find the person who was harassing her behind the scenes.
Ye Qingran, who had her own plans, shook her head. “Forget it.”
“Don’t you want to go to Southern Europe to play?” Chu Yan asked.
“I used to go to Southern Europe often. It’s just that, there’s no meaning to it. I’d better go to school properly,” Ye Qingran said. She smiled at Chu Yan, “I know you’re worried about me. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I’m not an ordinary woman. I’m a woman who’s more manly than men. I can take on ten of them by myself.”
Ye Qingran was very insistent, so Chu Yan did not say anything else.
He could only arrange for people to protect Ye Qingran in secret while he was away.
When the two of them were eating, they did not see the Su siblings in the restaurant. The two of them who came to eat seemed to have left immediately.
Ye Qingran thought that they must have changed restaurants. After all, she would not be able to stand seeing her man and another woman having a romantic meal.
This small interlude should have passed just like that.
However, she did not expect to see Su Kefei outside the door when they were returned home.
Su Kefei clenched her fists slightly when she saw the two of them alighting from the car together. How could she not understand that this meant that the two of them had already cohabited and were living together.
Ye Qingran looked at Su Kefei in surprise. She did not understand why she was standing there.
Su Kefei did not say anything and just sat quietly not far away. Her complicated gaze contained a trace of grief.
Ye Qingran wanted to talk to her, but just as she moved her feet, Chu Yan grabbed her wrist.
“Let’s go home.” Chu Yan’s handsome face was indifferent. There was no change in his expression because of Su Kefei. It was as if Su Kefei, who was standing at the side, was invisible.
He did not want Ye Qingran to talk to her.
He held her hand and brought her home.
When the door closed, Ye Qingran turned around and took a look at Su Kefei, who was looking at Chu Yan anxiously. Tears slowly rolled down her face.
Ye Qingran looked at Chu Yan and said, “I’ll go and talk to her.”
Chu Yan asked, “What?”
“It’s already night. She’s standing outside alone. If something happens to her because she’s too sad, it wouldn’t be good. Although it has nothing to do with us, it’s still not good.”
Chu Yan hesitated for a moment before letting go of her hand.
When Ye Qingran opened the door, Su Kefei, who had her head lowered and tears streaming down her face, suddenly looked up with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
However, when she saw that it was Ye Qingran, her entire being was instantly swallowed up by disappointment.
Ye Qingran walked to the opposite side of Su Kefei. “It’s already very late.”
Su Kefei looked at Ye Qingran without crying. Her eyes were filled with displeasure as she said in a huff, “I know it’s very late. What are you doing? I’m not in the house. Don’t tell me I’m standing outside and you dare to chase me away?”
Ye Qingran said, “I’m not here to chase you away. I just want to tell you that even if the security is good, your identity is different. Last time, you were almost kidnapped. It’s better to go home earlier.”
Su Kefei gritted her teeth and snorted. “I don’t want you to pretend to be kind.”
Ye Qingran frowned slightly. “If that’s the case, then I’ll have to trouble you to stand somewhere else. I’m afraid that someone will come to my house and kidnap you, in that case I can’t help but attack.”
Su Kefei said angrily, “You don’t have to take action. I didn’t ask you to take action.”
Ye Qingran said awkwardly, “That won’t do. I’m a good citizen who stands up for justice. When I encounter injustice, I must definitely take action. Let alone a person, even if it’s a kitten or a dog that’s being abused, I’ll take action when it’s time.”
Looking left and right, Su Kefei raised her chin. “Then… This isn’t your home. I just want to stand. What can you do?”
Ye Qingran said, “I can’t do anything to you. But I want to say that it’s useless even if you stand. Chu Yan doesn’t even care about you, it’s useless even if you stand until the end of time. You might as well go home and sleep.”
Su Kefei said angrily, “That’s all because of you. If you didn’t seduce Chu Yan, he wouldn’t ignore me.”
“That doesn’t make sense.” Ye Qingran spread her hands and asked her, “How long have you known Chu Yan?”
