  “The person he loves is the one that wrote him over twenty love letters, worked alongside him at his job, and tirelessly took care of his mother when she was in the hospital. You were the one that did those things.” Ye Qing looked at her and quietly said, “If I hadn’t discovered that you were the one that Lin Zhan likes, why would I return here? I can’t steal your boyfriend from you. You’re my younger sister and I hope that you’ll be happy. I don’t want you to entrust the rest of your life with someone that you don’t like.”


  Ye Zhen had heard these words when she was eavesdropping outside the bathroom. But hearing Ye Qing saying these words to her now, she truly felt an indescribable feeling of hypocrisy.

  Ye Qing took her phone out and called Lin Zhan. “If you don’t believe me, I’ll help you ask him!”


  The call was picked up within two rings. WIthout waiting for Lin Zhan to speak, Ye Qing asked, “Lin Zhan, is the one that you like me or my younger sister?”


  For a while, there was no sound from the other side of the call. The three people mutually stayed silent to listen. Finally, they heard Lin Zhan sigh and say. “Qingqing, let’s talk about later, okay?”


  Ye Qing sneered and hanged up. Looking at Ye Zhen, she said, “See, he doesn’t dare to answer the question!”


  Ye Zhen’s eyebrows furrowed even more.

  For now, let’s not consider if Ye Qing was speaking the truth or not. What was up with Lin Zhan’s attitude towards Ye Qing? In the novel, they had pledged undying love and to never leave each other. Why was he so hesitant in answering now?

  Even if he had mistaken Ye Qing for her back then and found out the truth now, they had been together for three years in a loving relationship. How could feelings that had developed over three years not be deep enough? It had only taken a few words from Ye Qing to make him indecisive. What happened to being committed and faithful?

  Scumbag!

  Seeing that Ye Zhen was remaining silent, Ye Qing took a deep breath. Her eyes gradually turned red. “Zhenzhen, I’m sorry, really.”


  With the past being brought up, Ye Qing seemed as if she truly felt very guilty. “If I could have known earlier that the one he likes is you, I really wouldn’t have competed with you for him and you wouldn’t have taken my place in marrying someone that you didn’t like.”


  Ye Zhen couldn’t stand looking at Ye Qing’s “I’m so pitiful and horribly wronged” look. Looking at this hypocritical little white flower, it felt as if she was looking at hazardous materials that shouldn’t be approached.

  “Can you…… can you give me Lin Zhan’s phone number? There something I want to ask him.”


  Ye Qing was thrilled. She knew it! Ye Zhen couldn’t give up on Lin Zhan! Her tensed nerves immediately relaxed, but her face didn’t betray the change in her emotions. “Okay.”


  As Ye Zhen dialed Lin Zhan’s phone number, she looked at Ye Qing and Mother Ye and quietly said, “I want to talk to him in private.”


  Ye Qing very understandingly pulled Mother Ye out of the room with her as she left.

  Lin Zhan picked up Ye Zhen’s call after the two women left.

  It was only after Ye Zhen heard a tired sound on the other end of the phone that she smiled and said, “Lin Zhan, this is Ye Zhen. The Ye Zhen that did all those things for you. I have a favor to ask of you.”


  Since Ye Qing so badly wanted to be the villain’s wife, she could have it.

  She would give her this spot in advance as well as the future of being behind the barred window of a prison cell.

  ***

  Mrs. Lu discussed the wedding with Father Ye and Mother Ye all day and didn’t say her goodbyes until it was dusk.

  She looked at Ye Zhen, who was standing on the stairs, and said with a smile, “Qingqing, Beichuan will come here to pick you up on the 10th of the next month. At that time, you have to be prepared to officially become the Lu family’s daughter-in-law.”


  Ye Zhen stroked the diamond ring on her ring finger and nodded. “Okay.”
