After being dumped, I turned around and married my ex-boyfriend's younger brother.

Chapter 198 You're meddling too much

Yan Yuan met Tang Yanzhe's gaze and listened to his words, finding it amusing.

Is she happy?

Is she happy?

Which eye of his saw that she was happy?

Oh no.

She would be very happy with whatever he gave her, no matter what it was.

In truth, it was her fault.

She herself didn't say it, so she didn't resent Tang Yanzhe for it.

"Does Mr. Tang enjoy reminiscing so much?"

Yan Yuan said softly, "I don't remember anything from before. If you don't have anything else, I'll head back now. I'm really tired."

Tang Yanzhe looked at her, a hint of sadness passing through his eyes.

"And one more thing."

He said, "You weren't in your room that night, but instead you were with Su Yiran. What exactly happened?"

"..."

Yan Yuan lowered her eyes, "It's been so long, I can't remember clearly."

Tang Yanzhe countered, "Then why did you react so strongly when you encountered someone after returning from the cemetery?"

"..."

Yan Yuan took a deep breath and smiled, "Since you already know, why are you asking me? Or is Mr. Tang curious about the details of that night? Should I describe it to you?"

"Yan Yuan!"

Tang Yanzhe roared, "Why didn't you tell me anything? What am I to you?"

"Boss? Sugar daddy?"

Yan Yuan's expression remained unchanged. "Why are you so angry? An employee shouldn't be confiding in the boss about their private matters. President Tang, you're meddling too much. Aren't you tired? I am."

"Yan Yuan!"

Tang Yanzhe clenched his fists, trying to calm himself down. "You're my girlfriend, is it necessary to say something like that?"

"Do you have a girlfriend who's only fit to be kept in a hotel?"

"Do you have a boyfriend who only uses my family to blackmail me?"

"Tang Yanzhe, you overestimate yourself. You mean nothing to me. I don't like you, I didn't like you before, and I won't like you in the future."

"..."

Tang Yanzhe said, "But I like you."

"That's not love, it's just possessiveness at play."

Sometimes, saying it out loud makes you feel much better.

Yan Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a great weight had been lifted from her shoulders.

After keeping it bottled up for so long, I'm finally saying it.

Yan Yuan turned back, showing no interest in listening to what he had to say.

"A-Yuan?"

Tang Yanzhe watched her retreating figure, trying to call out to her, but she never turned around.

Tang Yanzhe hasn't left the house in the past few days.

All the work was handled at the Tang family's place. They were so busy that they forgot to eat several times.

The maid prepared the meal. "Miss Yan, this is for Mr. Tang. Please take it up to him."

"..."

Yan Yuan lowered her eyes, gazing at the food in front of her.

If it were before, she might have offered it to him again, but now—

"Can't you deliver it yourself?"

She left the restaurant immediately.

"I'm calling you Miss Yan because I think highly of you. Do you really think you're the mistress of the Tang family?"

The maid brought the food to her and said, "I advise you not to be so ungrateful. You're nothing but a plaything that President Tang keeps and can discard at any time. Go upstairs now!"

Yan Yuan looked at her, smiled, and said "Okay." She took the plate, but in an instant, the plate tipped over, and all the hot food on it fell to the ground.

Yan Yuan subconsciously took two steps back.

"Yan Yuan, how dare you throw things like that? Do you have a grudge against President Tang and are you taking revenge on him?"

"Yes."

Yan Yuan nodded, pressing closer step by step, "I just don't like him, what can you do to me? Like master, like dog, they're all no good!"

"you--"

The maid pointed at Yan Yuan, about to unleash a torrent of abuse, but when she looked up and saw the figure appearing at the top of the stairs, her face paled. "Mr. Tang, Mr. Tang."

Upon hearing this, Yan Yuan looked up following the maid's gaze and saw Tang Yanzhe standing at the bottom of the stairs, his eyes fixed on her.

She didn't say anything, turned around and went back to her room in another direction.

The man shifted his gaze from Yan Yuan, looking down at the mess on the ground.

"what happened?"

The maid explained, "Miss Yan spilled it just now."

Tang Yanzhe remained silent, his thin lips pressed tightly together, and he slowly moved his feet, step by step, toward the servant.

"How many years have you been with the Tang family?"

"Mr. Tang..."

The intense pressure made the maid's heart leap into her throat, and she instinctively took a step back. "Five years, Mr. Tang, I...is there something I've done wrong? I..."

Five years is not a short time.

Tang Yanzhe raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling on the servant. "Pick it up."

The maid paused for a moment, then realized what she meant, "Okay, I'll go get it..."

"Use your hands."

Tang Yanzhe said coldly.

The maid was shocked, "Mr. Tang, I..."

"Do you need me to say it a second time?"

Tang Yanzhe's tone carried a hint of impatience.

"unnecessary……"

The maid kept her head down and carefully cleaned up the mess in front of him.

……

bang-

The sounds were coming from the kitchen.

"what happened?"

A figure from the living room appeared in the kitchen.

Su Yiran looked at the bowl that had been smashed in front of her, shattered into pieces with many shards around it, and looked up at the man who was running over. "Um... my hand was a little slippery just now."

This is an antique bowl that Gu Yanli brought back from his last business trip.

She broke it in less than a week.

Are you hurt?

Gu Yanli held her hand and checked it over. He was relieved to find that she was not injured. "Don't move."

The man turned and left the kitchen.

"what……"

Su Yiran watched his retreating figure and subconsciously walked out, but was caught by the gaze of the man in front of her as he turned around. "I told you not to move!"

"……Oh."

Su Yiran nodded guiltily, "I know, why are you being so fierce?"

Gu Yanli went to get a pair of shoes and said, "Take off your shoes."

"Why?"

Su Yiran didn't understand, but she still listened to him and obediently took off her shoes.

Gu Yanli changed her shoes and carried her out of the kitchen.

"I told you not to go into the kitchen, why don't you listen?"

"How did I disobey?"

Su Yiran pouted, "I'm very obedient, okay? Like just now, you told me to take off my shoes, so why did I have to take them off?"

"Have you forgotten what happened last time?"

"What's the matter..."

Su Yiran asked in return, recalling the time in the gallery when a painting hanging on the wall suddenly fell over, shattering the glass frame and getting shards of glass into her shoe, causing her to bleed profusely and cry out in pain for a week.

"I remembered?"

Gu Yanli patted Su Yiran's head, "You forget the pain once the wound heals, you're so heartless and don't learn your lesson!"

"No way."

Su Yiran muttered to herself, "Ranran said that if you want to win a man's heart, you have to win his stomach first."
