âBut ⦠you two â¦â
âEnough, this wasnât a suggestion for you. We were just informing you.â
The call ended.
Ye Aotian reminisced about the past. Fighting alongside teammates, facing opponents together. Back then, they could still casually chat. Although the two sisters disliked interacting with outsiders, they were still willing to exchange a few words with him. And their gazes toward him were always so gentle.
Especially Miao Lingyin. Miao Lingyin liked him. She was going undercover for his sake. She knew that the mysterious personâs identity had to be investigated, or else things would spiral out of control. He never had an absolute chance of victory.
Ye Aotian clenched his fist and punched the wall. His fist started bleeding. He silently endured the pain. He knew that in the future, he would take back everythingâeverything that belonged to him.
Meanwhile, Chen Fan received a phone call from Miao Lingyu.
âWe want to follow you.â
âNope. Goodbye. Iâm exhausted. Iâm busy. Get lost. Go eat shit.â Chen Fan immediately cussed them out.
Miao Lingyin was on the verge of tears.
â¦
At that moment, Cao Zijin, who was peeling an apple for Chen Fan, picked up her phone and said, âHubby, donât be mad, okay? Look at me. Let me handle this. Your wife is here to solve the problem for you.â
âWhatever, I donât want to see those two.â
Cao Zijin picked up the phone and said, âThere are still empty rooms in the house. They can stay there, but they arenât to wander around. Got it?â
âTheyâre Ye Aotianâs teammates. Arenât you worried theyâll betray me?â
Though, honestly, Chen Fan was kind of hoping they would.
Cao Zijin sat beside him, gently soothing him, âAiyo, hubby, donât be mad, okay? Be good. Donât worry, itâs fine. I think Ye Aotian probably likes them anyway.â
âYeah, probably. What does that have to do with me?â
âThink about itâif theyâre just guarding our door, wonât that make Ye Aotian furious?â
â¦
Miao Lingyu wanted to protest, but her sister stopped her. Miao Lingyin immediately understood what was happening.
Cao Zijinâs message was clearâthe plot cannot be disrupted. No matter what they did, the storyline must follow the intended sequence. If it wasnât their turn to appear, then they simply couldnât appear. Even if they showed up early, they had to obediently stay put.
This wasnât a suggestion. This was an order.
â¦
âYouâre Cao Zijin, right?â
âYep. So, what do you think of my proposal?â
âWe agree. But if Ye Aotian seeks our help, we will still help him. We have two chances left.â
âThatâs your business. It has nothing to do with us. As long as you donât harm my husband, you can do whatever you want. But if you do hurt him ⦠then I donât think your family needs to exist anymore.â
Miao Lingyin froze for a moment and said, âYouâre not even officially married into the Chen family yet. Donât make such reckless statements.â
âTsk tsk tsk ⦠Little girl, do you like my husband?â
Miao Lingyu, who had just been cheering her sister on, suddenly lost her voice.
She thought her sister had been so badass just now, but this woman just delivered the ultimate counterattack.
âI ⦠I donât ⦠Youâre talking nonsense.â
âThe Miao family has a pair of twin sistersâthe younger one likes to talk, and the older one prefers to stay quiet. But whenever the older one speaks, the younger one mostly listens. Oh, and I also found out something interestingâapparently, the older sister stutters when sheâs nervous. And that stuttering ⦠has always been her biggest weakness.â
âYou ⦠shameless! What else do you know?â
âI also know that the younger sister has slight hearing issues. So, in a way, you two are kind of a âheavenly defectiveâ pair. Though, after years of martial arts training, it doesnât affect you much anymore. But this flaw still exists.â
Miao Lingyin fell silent for a moment and then said, âCan you not say that?â
âSure. Beg me. If you beg me, I wonât say anything.â
Miao Lingyin hesitated for a long time before finally saying, âPlease ⦠I beg you.â
âSilly girl, I was just messing with you. But listenâlet me give you some advice. Happiness is something you have to take charge of yourself. Donât be foolish and fall for someone just at first sight. But if you do truly like someone, then hold on tight. No matter who tries to take them away, never let go.â
âI ⦠thank you.â
The call ended.
Miao Lingyin sighed and said, âLetâs go to Chen Fanâs house. For now, letâs not interfere with the plot too much. Itâs too chaotic, and itâs not good for Chen Fan.â
âSis ⦠you donât actually like Chen Fan, do you?â
âI d-donât ⦠I donât ⦠l-like Chen Fan.â
â¦
Meanwhile, at the filming site, Ye Aotian arrived and found Liu Feifei.
At that moment, Liu Feifei was happily munching on snacks.
âYou ⦠are you alright? Sorry, I was late.â
âIâm fine. What was supposed to happen to me yesterday?â
âYou ⦠you were kidnapped. Donât you know that?â
âWhat? No way! Brother Chen Fan was just playing a game with me. He told me that if I stayed put, heâd give me yummy food! Iâm not stupid. How could I have been kidnapped? I can fight really well, you know!â
What ⦠an adorable girl. Her heart was so pure. Damn Chen Fan. Even such a kind-hearted girl wasnât spared. He even used her to threaten him.
Actually, even if she didnât know that he had saved her, that was fine. This way, her world would remain pure, untouched by filth. All he needed to do was silently protect her like a knight.
Just watching her, seeing her happy every dayâwasnât that enough?
