Chapter 1586 Crossing the Line
Chapter 1586 Crossing the Line
Upon hearing her mother's words, Wen Yanyan nodded frantically, like a chick pecking at rice, her eagerness suggesting she was afraid her mother would change her mind.
"Okay... Mom, I'll listen to you. I'll study hard, don't worry! I'll be very obedient, and I promise I'll never make a mistake again, Mom."
After all, she had carried her child for ten months and given birth to her, so Du Yunwei softened her heart and said, "Let's go."
"Mom, before we leave this place, could you grant me a small wish? I really want to see my two older sisters! So many years have passed, and I haven't had a chance to see them. I really want to talk to them, even if it's just a simple greeting!"
Her eyes were full of expectation, and her hands unconsciously clutched the hem of her clothes as she nervously and anxiously awaited her mother's response.
Du Yunwei's face instantly darkened, her eyes becoming sharp and wary. She stared intently at Wen Yanyan, as if trying to see right through her: "Wen Yanyan, put away your little schemes. I know what you're thinking."
"Mom... what could I possibly be thinking?"
"Hehe... You're not really trying to meet the two older sisters. You actually want to meet Fu Yanchen and Nan Yifeng, right? And then choose one of them to be your husband!"
Wen Yanyan's face flushed red and then turned pale. "Mother, what are you saying?"
"Hehe, do you think I don't know who you are? Don't forget, they are your two older sisters' husbands, your nominal brothers-in-law."
"Stop daydreaming about things you shouldn't even be interested in, and stop having unrealistic expectations of people you don't deserve! Do you really think you can hide your little schemes from me? I'm telling you plainly now, absolutely not! So stop wasting your energy, get in the car and go home!"
Du Yunwei's voice was cold and resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.
Wen Yanyan's body stiffened slightly, and the expectation in her eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a deep sense of loss and resentment.
She bit her lip until it turned white, trying to make one last effort: "Mom, I really just want to see my sister, I don't have any other thoughts, please believe me this time, okay?"
Du Yunwei remained unmoved. She frowned impatiently and raised her voice: "Stop talking and get in the car! If you don't listen to me, don't expect me to take care of you anymore."
As she spoke, she turned and walked towards the car, her steps hurried, as if she didn't want to linger for even a moment longer.
Wen Yanyan sighed helplessly, knowing that her plan had fallen through.
She stomped her foot in frustration, her eyes filled with resentment and bitterness, but she still slowly followed behind her mother, turning back every few steps as she got into the car.
The car slowly started moving, leaving behind a place that filled her with both anticipation and disappointment, leaving only a trail of dust and endless melancholy in Wen Yanyan's heart.
The Ye Family Villa, a luxurious yet tranquil building, stands in a corner of the city, surrounded by meticulously manicured gardens where colorful flowers sway gently in the breeze, as if telling untold stories.
The interior of the villa is decorated in a magnificent and opulent style. Crystal chandeliers emit a soft yet dazzling light, illuminating every corner. The valuable paintings hanging on the walls showcase the owner's extraordinary taste and substantial wealth.
Ye Junhao sat in his spacious and bright study, with an exquisite mobile phone in front of him.
He frowned slightly, his eyes focused intently on his phone screen, and his fingers swiped gently as he sent a message to Nan Weiwei.
After sending the message, he waited quietly for a reply. However, not long after, a glaring red exclamation mark appeared on the screen.
His eyes suddenly seemed to freeze, and he paused slightly, a hint of surprise flashing across his previously calm face.
The initial surprise vanished in an instant, replaced by a faint, almost imperceptible sneer, a smile that seemed to conceal a hint of mockery and disdain.
He thought to himself, "Heh, I really didn't expect Nan Weiwei to be so decisive. She blocked me without hesitation. It seems she still has a lot of reservations about me."
His lips curled up slightly, revealing a half-smile, as if he had expected this outcome.
Just then, Li Shanshan, who had been standing quietly to the side, hesitated for a moment before finally mustering the courage to speak: "Young Master Ye..."
Her voice was soft but slightly nervous, and her eyes revealed a hint of unease and doubt.
The reason she left that cozy coffee shop was because she accidentally learned that Nan Weiwei and Nan Yifeng were together.
At that moment, her heart felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer; heartbroken, she felt as if her whole world had collapsed.
She walked aimlessly through the streets, tears welling in her eyes, unsure of where to go or what to do.
Later, fate led her to meet Ye Junhao unexpectedly.
Ye Junhao was a charming and elegant man. He noticed Li Shanshan's disappointment and confusion, so he invited her to be his assistant.
At first, Li Shanshan was full of doubts, not understanding why Ye Junhao would choose her, nor what his purpose was.
But as time went on, she seemed to vaguely know a little bit about it.
Ye Junhao's identity is very strange. He seems to have an unknown background and a complicated social circle. This person is dangerous, like a bomb hidden in the dark, which may explode at any time.
Moreover, the things he made her do were so strange that they were completely beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
All of these things are inextricably linked to Nan Yifeng, as if he has a special obsession or purpose with Nan Yifeng.
What's even more unexpected is that Ye Junhao secretly instructed him to send the message to Nan Yifeng!
Moreover, even the specific content of the information was carefully considered and meticulously arranged by him.
Every word and every sentence seems to hide some profound meaning, making people more curious and speculative about his true intentions.
Upon hearing Li Shanshan's voice, Ye Junhao slowly raised his head, his gaze falling on her with a hint of scrutiny and inquiry: "Li Shanshan, what did Nan Yifeng say after you sent the message?" His voice was deep and magnetic, yet dignified.
Li Shanshan lowered her head slightly, not daring to meet Ye Junhao's gaze. She took a deep breath and answered truthfully, "He didn't reply to the message."
Her voice trembled slightly, her heart filled with unease. She wondered how Ye Junhao would react next, and whether he would take his anger out on her because Nan Yifeng had not replied.
Ye Junhao leaned back on the large leather sofa, his fingers deftly playing with the exquisite lighter. The "click-click" sound seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet study.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Li Shanshan with a half-smile, and said slowly, "Li Shanshan, do you know why I need you to do things for me?"
Li Shanshan felt a little flustered under his deep and somewhat mysterious gaze. She subconsciously shook her head, her voice trembling slightly, "I don't know."
She was filled with doubts. Ever since she started working for Ye Junhao as his assistant, he always arranged things related to Nan Yifeng, but she really couldn't figure out his true intentions.
“Hehe,” Ye Junhao let out a low laugh, a laugh that was tinged with amusement and calculation. “I’m not looking for you because of your abilities. There’s only one reason: we have a common goal.”
Li Shanshan, "A common goal?"
"Well, don't you like Nan Yifeng? You... get Nan Yifeng, you want Nan Yifeng as a man, and I... I want Nan Weiwei as a woman."
As he spoke, he flipped the lighter in his hand as if he were handling a precious work of art.
Upon hearing this, Li Shanshan was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise and shyness flashing across her face. After hesitating for a moment, she mustered her courage and asked, "I...can I ask you why you want Nan Weiwei?"
She was really curious as to why Ye Junhao would target Nan Weiwei. Did they have some unknown past?
"Hehe, why?" Ye Junhao chuckled again, a hint of disdain and mockery flashing in his eyes. "Actually, my initial target was Xu Xiaoxiao. She's beautiful and has a great presence. I thought I could easily win her over."
"However, she actually had a child with Fu Yanchen and is even planning to have a second child. This kind of woman is no longer clean. In my eyes, she has lost her value. Nan Weiwei is different. She is like a pure white lotus flower, not yet tainted by the world. This kind of woman is worth pursuing."
Li Shanshan felt a ripple in her heart as she listened to Ye Junhao's words. She hadn't expected Ye Junhao to have such demanding standards for women.
She hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Young Master Ye, do you have a grudge against them?"
She really couldn't understand why Ye Junhao would go to such lengths to target Nan Weiwei and Xu Xiaoxiao. Was it simply because he wanted to destroy them because he couldn't have them?
Ye Junhao didn't answer her question. Instead, he suddenly changed the subject. He stood up, walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and said thoughtfully:
"Li Shanshan, tell me... what exactly is the source of Nan Yifeng's charm? Why is Nan Weiwei so devoted to him? It's truly perplexing! After all, in my opinion, Nan Yifeng isn't an exceptionally outstanding man. If it weren't for his good family background, what abilities does he have? It's just that he's an ordinary man, yet he can make Nan Weiwei fall head over heels for him. The reason behind this is really hard to fathom."
His voice carried a hint of doubt and resentment, as if he were jealous that Nan Yifeng was able to win Nan Weiwei's love.
Li Shanshan followed his gaze to the window, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
She herself deeply loved Nan Yifeng, but never received a response from him, while Nan Weiwei could make him so infatuated.
She sighed softly and said, "Young Master Ye, Nan Yifeng... he is gentle and considerate, very capable, and devoted to Nan Weiwei. Perhaps it is because of these qualities that Nan Weiwei is so devoted to him."
Ye Junhao turned around, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes. He said coldly, "Gentle and considerate? Capable? Hmph, in my opinion, these are nothing. There's nothing I, Ye Junhao, can't get if I want it. Nan Weiwei, I will definitely make her my woman."
His tone was firm and resolute, as if he had already made up his mind to achieve his goal.
Li Shanshan widened her eyes slightly, her gaze fixed on Ye Junhao's face, her eyes full of inquiry and curiosity.
She pursed her lips, hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Young Master Ye, may I ask you a question?"
“Say it…” Ye Junhao closed the lighter cap.
"It's just... you... seem to know them very well... you know their personalities and temperaments like the back of your hand. You... knew each other before?"
After asking that question, her heart started racing, and her hands instinctively clenched the hem of her clothes, as if she were afraid of hearing some secret she shouldn't know.
Ye Junhao's calm expression instantly turned cold. He slowly turned his face to the side, his deep eyes as cold as a frozen pool, staring straight at Li Shanshan with a gaze so chilling it seemed to freeze a person.
His eyes exuded an undeniable authority that made people afraid to look him in the eye.
“Li Shanshan…”
Ye Junhao's voice was low and cold, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, "Has anyone ever told you that curiosity killed the cat? There are some things you shouldn't ask, so you'd better not ask. Just do what you're supposed to do, understand? If you dare to do any investigation behind my back, get out of here immediately. I... want an obedient dog, not a meddlesome dog."
Ye Junhao's tone was firm and resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.
Li Shanshan felt a chill run from her feet to her head. Ye Junhao's icy gaze made her heart clench, as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.
Her body trembled slightly uncontrollably, and her originally fair cheeks turned somewhat pale.
She lowered her head nervously, not daring to meet Ye Junhao's gaze again. Her voice trembled with fear as she hurriedly replied, "Yes...! I'm sorry... Young Master Ye... I overstepped my bounds. I won't do it again." Li Shanshan's voice was so soft it was almost inaudible, as if she was afraid of angering the capricious Young Master Ye before her.
After saying that, she turned around hurriedly and walked towards the door with somewhat flustered steps.
With every step she took, she could feel Ye Junhao's icy gaze following her like a shadow, making her feel like she was being pricked by thorns.
Only when she walked out of the study and closed the door did she finally let out a long sigh of relief, as if she had returned from hell to the human world.
But she was still filled with doubt and unease, wondering what kind of untold story existed between Ye Junhao and Nan Weiwei, and whether she would be dragged into it and fall into an abyss of no return.
Time passed day by day, and New Year's Day arrived...
