Chapter 431 - Untitled
“Why are you here?” Fang Ying’s voice trembled as if she had seen a ghost. Her already weak body gave off a feeling that she was about to faint. She looked weak but her gaze was red like she was holding a grudge.
Rong Yan’s good mood was ruined and she said calmly, “I’ve been here all along. As for you, why are you here when it’s already so late?”
She acted as if she was the owner as this level belonged to Chu Li. Even Zhou Zheng and Jiang Qing would not disturb him if there was nothing urgent. Fang Ying was too insensible.
“I’m looking for Brother Chu. Please excuse us,” Fang Ying said coldly as she looked at Rong Yan with hatred.
“He’s not around.” Rong Yan smiled. “You look for him for at least four, five times every day, so you should not have anything urgent. Come tomorrow if you don’t mind. Fang Ying, aren’t you tired of disturbing Chu Li every day? He has already said that you have not recovered and should rest in your room. Or is it that you don’t want to recover?”
“I want to look for Brother Chu.” Fang Ying repeated. Her mouth had turned pale and she did not believe what Rong Yan said.
Rong Yan sneered. “I’ve already said that he’s not here.”
Her tone sounded cold as she looked at Fang Ying calmly. She felt that Fang Ying used to be very gentle, but she could no longer empathize with Fang Ying at all. Fang Ying gave her a horrible feeling. She did not mind someone fighting over Chu Li with her, but she hated people playing dirty tricks, and she hated treating Chu Li like an object and wanting to occupy him even more.
Fang Ying wanted Chu Li to be with her all the time and it was alright if she did not how to behave or observe the feelings of others. But, Rong Yan found it annoying that Fang Ying did not even know the basic code of conduct. Moreover, given Fang Ying’s birth and upbringing, it was impossible for her not to know all these and it was obvious she just wanted to occupy Chu Li.
But, that was the power of a girlfriend or wife, not hers.
“Rong Yan, why not leave for good since you’ve already left? Why do you have to come back?” Fang Ying lost her cool and screamed. She had a begrudging look and wanted to tear the woman in front of her apart.
She was deeply jealous of Rong Yan, jealous of this woman who caught all of Chu Li’s attention. Chu Li had already scolded her because of Rong Yan and even hurt Chen Yang. No one had ever made Chu Li like this and Fang Ying wondered if Chu Li would kill her if she hurt Rong Yan.
Fang Ying laughed coldly with sorrow and sarcasm.
Rong Yan crossed her arms and said calmly, “You have no right to interfere with whether or not I leave. Fang Ying, no one can force me to leave and even if I leave someday, it is not because of you but because I’ve decided to leave. What I do now have nothing to do with you.”
“How is it not related? If it was not because of you…”
“Hmmph, right, I remember something very interesting. Fang Ying, do you mind explaining to me who you were with in the room on the day I was caught by Brother Tian?” Rong Yan sneered before Fang Ying could finish her sentence. She had been puzzled by this question for almost a year and it was because of that incident that she was slowly disappointed in Chu Li. She was more and more hurt every time and treated him coldly until the two of them started to be more distant and fought every day.
“What are you talking about?” Fang Ying’s expression changed and she staggered. She looked calm but her split second of dodging did not escape from Rong Yan’s eyes.
“It’s okay if you don’t understand. Just take it as I mistook the wrong person and heard it wrong that day. At first, I wanted to ask Chu Li about it, but it seems like…”
“No!” Fang Ying’s voice instantly became sharp and Rong Yan sneered. She was better than Fang Ying in terms of breaking down a person’s defense. Fang Ying was already in a panic and she wanted to kill Rong Yan. It was easy for her to kill Rong Yan now that Chu Li was not around, but she did not want Chu Li to hate her forever. This was something she definitely did not want.
She could no longer stay here as Rong Yan had made it clear that if she continued to stay, Rong Yan would clarify about this incident. How did Rong Yan know about it and had she asked Chu Li about it? She was afraid that if she continued to stay and if Chu Li came back, Rong Yan would ask the two of them to explain what had happened that day. If the truth was uncovered, Chu Li would know about the ugly things she did and be disappointed in her. She did not want this to happen and she felt as if she was punched by someone the moment she thought of Chu Li’s disgusted face.
“Rong Yan, don’t be too arrogant. He will eventually leave you,” Fang Ying said this and walked away while sneering.
Rong Yan harrumphed and closed the door with a bang.
After a while, Chu Li came back with the ingredients that he searched for and rushed into the kitchen. Rong Yan had originally wanted to cook for him, but she had lost her interest now.
“Fang Ying came to look for you just now,” Rong Yan said calmly and kudos to her for being able to sound so calm. Sometimes, she really felt like she was a ninja.
“Oh, for what?” Chu Li did not give much reaction.
“I don’t know. You can go ask her.” Rong Yan turned around angrily and went back into the room before slamming the door. She leaned against the door and panted. What was she angry about? Seriously…
“Yan Yan, I’m hungry.” Chu Li knocked on the door and shouted pitifully.
“You can cook yourself. I’m tired and I want to sleep.” Rong Yan locked the door and switched on the light and she was shocked.
She thought that she had entered the wrong place for a moment.
The carpet, curtains, and painting were all changed. The carpet was her favorite European-styled and the curtains were in her favorite sea blue color. Even the painting on the wall was changed into her favorite style and the decorations no longer had any trace of Fang Ying.
She was shocked as this room had a complete makeover and she was not used to it. But… she felt so happy. She thought that he must have listened to what she said that day.
She thought that he must have heard about her grudges that day. Chu Li had ignored her thoughts for a very long time. But, she felt that she should reflect on herself too as she did not tell him much about her thoughts.
She did not tell him much. The negative emotions that Fang Ying gave her were kept in her heart and she had never expressed anything. Chu Li was never good at guessing her thoughts and he was extremely busy. He was not the worms in her stomach and would not know about her thoughts.
She bit her lip and almost cried tears of joy. She started to hate this room after knowing about Fang Ying and that there were too many traces of Fang Ying in this room. She could not sleep well in this room and there was a time where she was easily frustrated and anxious.
It was all gone.
“Yan Yan, let me know if there’s anything else you don’t like and I will change it.” His voice sounded low from outside the door.
She smiled and did not say anything for a while. “It’s good.”
Florence, France.
Third Young Master Ye and Cheng Anya were enjoying their honeymoon in France as they explored every part of Provence. It was their newlywed honeymoon and both of them were in a good mood. Provence was beautiful like heaven in October.
Third Young Master Ye owned a small castle on the south side of Provence. The lavender period lasted very long this year and they could see a field of purple flowers even in October. It was fragrant and the sea of flowers was very beautiful under the bright sun. It was the first time Cheng Anya saw such a beautiful sea of flowers every day. She could look at the lavender field from the north side of the small palace and she loved the afternoon when the wind would blow and the sea of purple flowers would sway like waves. The beauty was something that could not be described with words.
She felt comfortable, sweet, and relaxing just by staying in the castle all day and not going anywhere else.
She wanted to run around in the field but was forbidden by Third Young Master Ye as he was worried about her body and the child. Therefore, he did not allow her to be crazy and she could only enjoy it quietly. It would be a beautiful thing if she was allowed to wear a purple dress and run around in the field.
During their honeymoon, Third Young Master Ye almost brought her to every famous attraction in France and there were different surprises for her every day. However, Cheng Anya still liked Provence because it was really too beautiful.
Other than the purple flower field, there were rows of French phoenix trees lining the two sides of the streets. Many couples liked to stroll under the phoenix trees and the leaves would dance when the wind blew as if it was raining gold.
The floor would be covered with a layer of light gold and looked even more beautiful in the evening. The French phoenix trees looked even more beautiful as the sunset. Its beauty blended with the sunset, looking extremely beautiful.
Cheng Anya said, “I have no regrets now after coming to Provence for once in my lifetime.”
It was not her first time to France, but it was her first time coming to Provence, the beautiful heaven on earth. Third Young Master Ye liked the beautiful scenery of this place when he first bought this palace.
Although she liked City A, she had to admit that Provence was the most beautiful place.
She was willing to spend a month here for her honeymoon trip.
Third Young Master Ye just laughed. “We can come here often in the future if you like.”
Cheng Anya smiled and agreed. Third Young Master Ye joked. “Women like France because they can shop here. This is a fashionable country and is at the forefront of the global fashion scene. France’s clothing, perfume, and jewelry are their favorites and things that they are most envious of. But, you actually like the tranquility here.”
“I don’t need all this.” Cheng Anya smiled lightly. “It would be good if I could live on this heaven on earth forever.”
“Do you really like it so much?”
“It is natural here. Don’t you like it?” Cheng Anya asked in puzzlement. Why did he choose Provence as the first stop if he did not like it?
“To be honest, City A is the real heaven on earth to me.” Third Young Master Ye laughed.
“This is different.” Cheng Anya smiled. Some places were beautiful as they were dreamy while some were beautiful in reality. It was different. Provence belonged to the former while City A belonged to the latter.
