Ye Tang looked at his younger brother’s agitated state and suddenly had the emotional thought, ‘Ye Kun has really grown up.‘
“This Fang Xi… she was once Xi Cheng’s lover?” Ye Tang asked bluntly. Ye Kun opened his mouth and nodded reluctantly. “Yeah.”
“You and Xi Cheng are best buds,” Ye Tang lightly commented.
Ye Kun grudgingly nodded but retorted, “So what? Before they broke up, we had no idea that the girl Xi Cheng had hidden away was Fang Xi. He doesn’t love her at all! He monopolized and wasted her youth!”
“Don’t comment on other people’s relationships so easily; you’re not the one involved, so you don’t have the right to judge. Just tell me what happened between you and her,” Ye Tang coldly reminded his brother.
Ye Kun shut his mouth, having calmed down. He took a deep breath and told Ye Tang, “I fell in love with a girl called Fang Xi. I’m the one who pursued her, but when I finally got her to fall for me, she got into a car accident and is still in the intensive care unit right now.”
He continued, “The doctors said they aren’t certain when she’ll wake up. They advise her family members to talk to her often; it might stimulate her to wake up sooner. When Shi Nian was unconscious previously, Yun Nan’s constant crying by his ear was what woke him up.”
Ye Tang looked at his little brother’s determined expression. “Are you planning to wake her up by crying, too?”
Ye Kun choked, stunned. ‘Big brother… is he teasing me? He felt his big brother wasn’t out to make things difficult for him, so he boldly voiced his thoughts. “Ye Tang, I plan to marry Fang Xi when she wakes up. I’ve already put the engagement ring on her finger!”
Ye Tang glared at him. “You put a ring on her finger while she’s unconscious, and you’re just going to treat it as if she’d agreed?”
Ye Kun nodded and confidently replied, “Shi Nian and Yun Nan agreed. They are our witnesses! Ye Tang, Fang Xi will agree when she wakes up!”
Ye Tang inclined his head. “I see. So that’s why, when Auntie Xi denounced Fang Xi, you publicly announced that Fang Xi is your fiancée? And even published an article to tell the world about you two’s love story?”
“Yeah!” Ye Kun openly admitted. “I asked Liang Han to write it for me!” Ye Kun added, feeling quite proud of this move.
Ye Tang’s voice became stern as he demanded, “Have you thought about the consequences your actions will bring our family? I know you’re defending your girlfriend, but where does that leave the Ye family’s reputation?”
Ye Kun did a double-take. Then, he bravely met Ye Tang’s gaze and stated, “Big Brother, this has nothing to do with the Ye family’s reputation. I fell in love with a girl, so naturally, I must stand up for her when others slander her. What consequence can such a thing bring to our Ye family? Is our family’s reputation so fragile that we need to sacrifice a girl’s innocence to protect it?”
Ye Tang was a little surprised. ‘ Ye Kun has come a long way; he actually learned how to argue his case. It seems that the power oflove is mighty indeed!’
Ye Kun was slightly nervous as he stood up to his big brother. He glanced at Ye Tang and couldn’t help lowering his voice. “Big Brother, Fang Xi truly is a good girl. Yun Nan is her best friend, and Shi Nian and Liang Han can vouch for her. She really is a good girl. Liang Han said they can vouch for her if you’re worried about her character!”
Ye Tang lowered his head and rubbed his nose bridge, thinking, ‘These four dolts who came out of the same delivery room are all troublemakers.’
Ye Kun looked at Ye Tang nervously. “Ye Tang?”
Ye Tang lifted his head to gaze at his brother. “Tell me, what do you plan to do next?”
“My plans? I plan to marry Fang Xi when she wakes up!” Ye Kun answered firmly.
Ye Tang stared at Ye Kun. “What if she never wakes up?
Ye Kun’s face fell, but he swiftly pulled himself together. “That won’t happen, bro. Fang Xi will definitely wake up. She’s a woman of her word; she promised me a relationship. She won’t leave me alone like this!”
Ye Tang was truly speechless this time. He stood up and started up the stairs.
Ye Kun called out, “Ye Tang?” and quickly followed. ‘That’s it? He didn’t give any indication. What does he mean? Ye Kun inwardly wondered.
Ye Tang turned around and asked, “Is there anything else?”
‘Hmm? Ye Kun thought, almost bumping into Ye Tang. ‘ What does he mean by “Is there anything else?” We haven’t finished talking! You haven’t given me a conclusion yet!’
Ye Kun almost bit his tongue as he said, “Big Brother, you—I… What do you want me to do?”
Ye Tang looked at his foolish little brother. “Didn’t you already think of what to do? Why are you still asking me? Exactly what did that girl see in you? She should get her eyes checked.”
Ye Kun’s mind blanked for a moment. Ye Kun cleared his head and then recalled his brother’s statement word-by-word. He was abruptly delighted.
“Bro, you…. you aren’t here to stop me?”
