Chapter 1237 - 1237 1223 Provoked

Chapter 1237: Chapter 1223: Provoked Chapter 1237: Chapter 1223: Provoked “You wouldn’t hit me would you? I really had no choice at the time, and had to beg for a compromise. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn’t have done such a thing,” Ouyang Yue mumbled.

“Alright, I forgive you, but you must continue to play along in this act with me,” Ye Chen said, knowing the reason behind it all and understanding that Ouyang Yue wanted to reveal the truth to Guo Yuyun because they both knew of Guo Yuyun’s escape from marriage.

“What do you mean, ‘play along’?” Ouyang Yue was somewhat puzzled.

“Of course we keep playing along. Since you started this, the end of this charade will be up to me to decide.”

Upon giving it some thought, Ouyang Yue immediately grasped his meaning, asking, “You want to make that girl give up on you?”

Ye Chen remained silent.

“You’re crazy, she came all the way to Sacred Spirit Island for you, and she even ran away from her wedding. I can tell that you’re the only one in that girl’s heart. Just by the way she looked at me, ready to hit me, I knew how much she likes you,” Ouyang Yue glanced back.

Ye Chen retorted, “So what?”

“So what? She came all this way because she cares about you, but look at how you’re treating her, it’s just not right.”

“I’m not worthy of her.”

“What do you mean! I get it now, you’re afraid you’ll bring danger to her.”

“Right, I never had the assurance that I could rid myself of the Magic Power within me.” Ye Chen continued, “Look at them, they’re actually quite good together. Why should I even interfere?”

“I can see that in that girl’s heart, there’s only you.”

“That was in the past. If she had only me in her heart, with no feelings for that foolish boy, how could she possibly have agreed to marry him?”

“But how do you explain her running away from the wedding?”

“That was just a moment of impulse. Girls are like that. She’ll soon realize who truly treats her well.”

“It seems you’re determined to do this,” Ouyang Yue noted.”

Ye Chen took a deep breath and said, “Yes, I’m determined to carry this on. After all, you can’t tell her the truth.”

“I’m afraid that in a moment, she might kick me into the lake.”

“Don’t worry, if she really kicks you in, I’ll save you.”

“Why do I have to risk my life and get involved in your mess?”

“Ha, it’s too late for regrets now. What I say goes, understand?”

“I feel like I’m doing something incredibly despicable, or else I’m an accomplice.”

Ye Chen gave a cold smile and said, “Deceiving me isn’t despicable, huh? You know, these past days, I’ve been pondering what to say to your father when he returns. I always felt I couldn’t explain it – causing the death of one daughter and refusing to let go, now endangering another.”

Ouyang Yue glared at him.

“I know you didn’t mean to do it, and at least you’ve made it clear to me now. It shows you still have a conscience. But this time, you have to help me.” Despite knowing the truth, he still wanted to carry on with the act.

“So how should we act?”

“Act like a couple, act affectionate. Don’t know how?”

Ouyang Yue protested, “Don’t take advantage of the situation.”

“You weren’t like this the other day. Now you’re afraid of being taken advantage of.”

“Ha, you dead man, if I don’t end up in the water first, I might just kick you in.”

Those two guys upfront, why are they so annoying? Guo Yuyun really wanted to go over and kick them both as a way to vent her frustration. How could they act like that?

It was infuriating, downright maddening.

They still clung to each other so intimately. Did he not know that she had run away from her wedding, risking everything, for his sake? This was outrageous; even if they were truly together, there was no need to provoke her like this. He was insufferable.

Alas, what to do if it was all true? It seemed like a destined love never meant to be.

Both Song Xizhi and Wu Jingge were aware of Guo Yuyun’s anger but had no idea what to say. It wasn’t enough; she had to find out if it was true or else she would never be able to let go.

Suddenly, Guo Yuyun turned to Wu Jingge and said, “Wu Jingge, help me clarify something.”

Wu Jingge nodded slightly and asked, “What is it?”

“I just asked around, and that girl, Ah Ya, mentioned that Ye Chen was drinking at Yixiang Brothel during that time. Help me find out if those two really drank together.” She couldn’t bear it any longer.

Wu Jingge glanced at Song Xizhi. It seemed pointless to keep following them. “Alright then,” he said.

After receiving a sign from Song Xizhi, Wu Jingge walked away.

The two upfront still engaged in their intimacy, leaving Guo Yuyun wishing for a stick to hit them with.

For Song Xizhi, Guo Yuyun was his everything. From the moment he fell in love with her at first sight, he had been unable to extricate himself. Guo Yuyun had been utterly candid with him, always blunt and straightforward, never beating around the bush. Although she had her heart set on the young man ahead, just as Song Xizhi cherished her, Guo Yuyun had never deceived him.

Nor had she intended to hurt him; escaping her wedding was a choice she made because she didn’t want to deceive herself. He understood that and had shown understanding.

The two were so intimate it was as if no one else existed, astonishingly so. Guo Yuyun knew there had to be an element of performance to it; after all, that monkey liked to do this, especially in front of her. He used to behave the same way.

Seeing that Guo Yuyun was in a bad mood, Song Xizhi wasn’t sure what to say.

In Guo Yuyun’s view, thankfully Song Xizhi was with her, or she would have been even more upset. She glanced at him and asked, “Xizhi brother, what are you thinking about?”

Song Xizhi looked her way and replied, “I’m not thinking about anything.”

“Aren’t those two extremely infuriating?”

Song Xizhi glanced over and gave a slight smile.

“If I had a big stick, I would definitely give each of them a whack,”

Song Xizhi replied, “Okay, I’ll go find a big stick for you.”

Hearing Song Xizhi say this, Yun’er smiled faintly.

Perhaps it was the laughter, Ye Chen turned his head to look, but when Guo Yuyun’s murderous gaze came his way, he hurriedly turned back.

Seeing Song Xizhi looking somewhat downcast, Guo Yuyun said, “Big Brother Xizhi, let’s go buy some snacks.”

“Alright, whatever you want to eat, I’ll buy for you.”

Guo Yuyun couldn’t stand it anymore, took one of his arms in her hand, and said, “Let’s go together.” She pulled Song Xizhi to move to the front; she couldn’t bear it any longer and could have pulled out a knife if this continued.

As she passed by Ye Chen, she gave him a fierce kick and a pinch, as strong as a tiger’s clasp.

With a cry of “ah,” Ye Chen almost fell over, had Ouyang Yue not grabbed him.

Guo Yuyun, holding Song Xizhi, didn’t look back and continued forward.

Ye Chen stood up, rubbing the spot that still hurt, already bruised a great deal.

Ouyang Yue said, “It’s a good thing he didn’t have a knife, or he would definitely have stabbed you, and then what would you do?”

Ye Chen kept silent.

“Do you still want to continue this affectionate display?” Ouyang Yue asked curiously.

Ye Chen let go of her hand, saying, “In your dreams.” There was no audience left, what was the point of putting on a show?

“Hey, wasn’t there another person? Where did he go?” Ouyang Yue wondered.

Ye Chen said, “Better hurry and catch up, or they’ll get lost.”

Guo Yuyun, with Song Xizhi in tow, went ahead to buy snacks, but they didn’t show any intimacy, and instead looked more like siblings.

Ouyang Yue exclaimed with a sigh, “However, those two seem quite well matched.”

“If I were in his place, the match would be even better.”

“You just take the opportunity to take advantage, and you talk about matching.”

“Am I as sleazy as you say!”

“You’re no good bird.”

Finally, there was a brief respite.

Ye Chen quieted down too.

“Not bad, this is tasty,” Guo Yuyun remarked.

“Then we should buy more,” Song Xizhi suggested.

“No, better save room for other foods.” Guo Yuyun hadn’t eaten much for breakfast since she was in a bad mood, and her stomach was now growling with hunger.

“Sure, eat whatever you like; I have plenty of silver here.”

“Great,” Guo Yuyun glanced back at the two sore sights behind them, then continued on ahead.

Ye Chen calmed down, observing the two ahead but seeming not angry.

Seeing Ye Chen lost in thought, Ouyang Yue asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Nothing, I think it’s quite nice.”

“Really? Shouldn’t you be jealous?”

Yet Ye Chen just smiled faintly.

“It looks like you truly want to see them together,” Ouyang Yue remarked.

“Yeah, now I can rest easy.”

Ouyang Yue laughed, “Rest easy? I think you’re just deceiving yourself!”

“Of course I am at ease; this is fine.”

“Fine then, keep torturing yourself,”

Who knows how long they walked until they found that peaceful lake, with a few small boats floating on it.

A day passed, avoiding the time he could have been kicked into the lake.

It was time to return; Ouyang Yue said, “Come to our courtyard later for hot pot.”

Guo Yuyun, however, said, “I feel a bit unwell, perhaps due to the wind. I think I’ll go back and rest.”

Ye Chen couldn’t tell at all and wondered if perhaps he had gone too far.

Song Xizhi said, “I’ll buy some more goodies, and as for hot pot, you guys can continue without me.”

They parted at the crossroads.

Ye Chen also became somber.

Ouyang Yue looked at him and said, “What’s wrong? You were always the most excited, why have you become so quiet?”
