Chapter 980: Chapter 651: The So-Called Unmoved (Part 2)

The night was dense like an ink stone, so deep that it seemed impossible to dissolve; only the spattering of starlight decorated it, bringing a slight brightness.

At this time, deep into the night and all was quiet; at this moment, only that bit of familial serenity remained.

After dinner, Ye Xiwen went back to the Ye Family residence with Gong Yu. After a brief greeting, the two headed to Ye Xiwen’s room to wait for the fall of night.

Gong Yu expressed that she didn’t want to face a few extremely hypocritical faces either, so it would be better to head upstairs to rest early.

Although, she was quite keen to see the upcoming excitement.

Sitting on the windowsill, looking at the starlight outside, Ye Xiwen walked out of the bathroom and stood next to her. "What’s wrong, don’t want to sleep yet?" She had just energetically taken a bath and brushed her teeth; Ye Xiwen thought she was tired from playing.

The time was just past eight-fifteen.

Gong Yu turned to look at Ye Xiwen, "Sister Ye Zi, are those two living together now?" Gong Yu was referring to Bai Xiajun and Ye Xirou.

This was the Ye Family home, and those two were already engaged, so it seemed likely they would be living together by now.

Hearing this question, Ye Xiwen laughed helplessly, "How would I know that?" She wasn’t their nanny or servant. Having just returned, how could she know so much.

Not to mention, she had blatantly ignored the two of them these last few days.

Nevertheless, "Yuyu, why are you interested in them?" Though Bai Xiajun’s appearance wasn’t bad, it shouldn’t be enough to catch the eyes of the girl in front of her.

Looking at Gong Yu, Ye Xiwen’s eyes were filled with teasing laughter.

Gong Yu: "You’re thinking too much." Just by looking at Ye Xiwen’s eyes, she knew what she was thinking. Really now, Gong Yu had come to keep her company and yet Ye Xiwen dared to tease her; was her taste that poor?

Bai Xiajun wasn’t even one-tenth of Jing Youlan; Gong Yu wouldn’t spare him a second glance.

If it weren’t for her Sister Ye Zi, she wouldn’t even bother to look at such a person if he were on the street.

Gong Yu pursed her lips in displeasure at Ye Xiwen, who started laughing.

Alright, it was her mistake.

"Sister Ye Zi, you don’t know, but during the day, I put a little something on that man who nearly became your fiancé." With a mischievous smile, Gong Yu suddenly continued, "That’s something precious I got from my sister." Very valuable indeed.

Gong Yu also found out later just how expensive the items were that Mu Lin handed out.

Mom! When she was out of money, she just needed to go ask her sister for any precious item! Just thinking about it made her feel blissful!

"What did you give him?" Surprise flickered in Ye Xiwen’s eyes; although Mu Lin was a Poison Doctor, she enjoyed researching all sorts of miscellaneous things besides poisons, so Ye Xiwen really couldn’t guess right now.

"Hehehe..." Gong Yu laughed heartily, cough cough, with a hint of wretchedness, "You’ll know tomorrow." She decided to keep them guessing for now.

Actually, she had wanted to eavesdrop, but now that she thought about it, maybe not.

After all, just wait until early in the morning tomorrow; some people’s faces won’t look so good then.

Given Gong Yu’s judgment, with what happened today, even if those two haven’t consummated, Ye Xirou would definitely make her way to a certain room.

Thinking this way.

"I’m going to bed now." She had to get up early tomorrow! She needed to be awake before they left the house.

Do what?

Of course, to go down and watch the excitement!

While saying this, she jumped down from the windowsill and walked toward the bed.

Ye Xiwen watched Gong Yu’s departing figure, her expression full of helplessness, and then turned to walk towards her own bed.

Some things were actually none of their business.

At this moment, neither of them knew that in the room two doors down from theirs, a reluctant drama was taking place.

On the bed, against the dim starlight, shadows writhed.

But the next moment, the room’s lights suddenly blazed on.

"Bai Xiajun!" Sitting astride the man, Ye Xirou’s glare was as ugly as it could get, "Is it because she’s back that you want to get back together with her!" Her face was full of rage and jealousy, repulsively etched in her features.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about." Bai Xiajun frowned, not liking Ye Xirou mentioning Ye Xiwen in front of him.

In Bai Xiajun’s heart, he, now, simply had no right; since that incident four years ago, he had already lost all rights.

Ye Xirou: "Don’t know what I’m saying, huh! Hehe... you can really put on an act," she scoffed coldly. "Ever since yesterday, you’ve been sleeping the whole morning, and then tonight, when I come to find you, I’m all kindness and warmth towards you, but you..."

"Your entire body screams reluctance." And it didn’t even stop there! Her fists clenched, turned white, and she was already seething with anger, "Bai Xiajun, you surely can’t think that just because we broke up, my dear sister will take you back!" She sneered, no longer wishing to disguise her feelings, "I’m telling you, that’s absolutely impossible."

"You’ve seen it yourself, she doesn’t even bother to spare you a glance! In her eyes, you’re probably filthier than dirt." The words tumbled out of her, likely driven by her rage—it was the first time Ye Xirou had ever spoken to Bai Xiajun like this.

At that, Ye Xirou’s smile suddenly softened, "I was thinking, maybe she’s already found someone else in B City, happily entwined in a new romance." After all, if there was one thing the military didn’t lack, it was men.

Although she looks down on those men, they would be more than good enough for her sister.

"Don’t spout nonsense." Without hesitation, he pushed Ye Xirou away, "Xiwen is not that kind of person."

"Xiwen, Xiwen, you do sound awfully fond when you say her name." Ye Xirou got up; she had seen with her own eyes the changes in Bai Xiajun after Ye Xiwen’s return, and she could no longer contain herself.

How could she endure it after what had transpired this evening?

What Ye Xirou found most unbearable was everything that had just happened. No matter how proactive she was, Bai Xiajun had absolutely no reaction to her.

Is there anything in the world more heartbreaking than this?

No reaction at all! Hahaha... not a single reaction.

Usually, she might suspect that he was having some kind of physical problem, but why now, of all times, when Ye Xiwen was back?

This was a question even Bai Xiajun himself couldn’t fathom, no matter how hard he tried.

Why? He felt absolutely nothing.

Even if the person he loved in his heart wasn’t Ye Xirou, every time in her presence he found himself unable to control his impulses, but this time... could it really be because of Xiwen?

The answer to this question, Bai Xiajun couldn’t find either.

All he knew was, earlier, when Rourou did everything she could to be intimate with him, his heart resisted it; it repelled her more than ever.

Dressing herself, Ye Xirou stood beside the bed and coldly looked at Bai Xiajun, "Bai Xiajun, I’m telling you, in this lifetime, you can only belong to me, Ye Xirou, and the only other name that will be on our marriage certificate is mine—Ye Xirou’s name." Ye Xiwen, don’t even think about it!

After saying this, she turned without hesitation and ran towards her own room.

The sound of the door slamming was enough to startle Gong Yu, who hadn’t yet fallen asleep.

"Looks like it’s just as I expected," he mused. My goodness, thinking about that scene makes it even funnier!

"Yuyu, what are you laughing at?" Lying beside Gong Yu, Ye Xiwen asked, puzzled.

The girl was even laughing out loud now.

Gong Yu: "I’m just laughing at those two."

"What exactly did you do to them?" Ye Xiwen really couldn’t figure it out.

"To them... hahaha..." She couldn’t help but laugh, it was just too funny. Let her laugh a bit more before explaining.

"If you keep laughing, you’ll get a stitch!" Ye Xiwen was nearly rolling her eyes.

"Don’t be in such a rush, Sister Ye Zi." She spoke as if asking for permission, "I just put a little something on Bai Xiajun."

"The name of that thing is... ’Motionless.’" Hahaha... her sister really knew how to name things, it really left him motionless!

Ye Xiwen: "..." What does ’motionless’ mean? At least explain clearly before laughing about it.

"Oh, Sister Ye Zi, you don’t know?" Gong Yu teased.

Ye Xiwen: "..." How was she supposed to know?

"That thing is... harmless for women, but if a man takes it... a certain part of him becomes completely ’motionless’!" Explaining it this way, she should understand, right?

Ye Xiwen: ...Alright, now she understood.

But... "You really are too mischievous." What else could she say? No wonder that door slam earlier was so forceful.

Indeed—quite amusing.

Ye Xiwen laughed. Truly, only when she was with them could she laugh like this.

And then, time moved on to early the next morning.
