Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 705: Chapter 69: Love Triangle (Part 2)

Thinking of Xiao Xian, Yezi’s face lit up with a smile, which, when caught by Xu Lan Ya’s eyes, made her think he was happy because of his affection for her, making her heart skip a beat.

"Did I do anything disgraceful last night after I got drunk?" Xu Lan Ya usually only worried about men potentially acting out of line, so asking such a question today was truly unprecedented.

Seeing that her clothes were intact and she was simply covered with a blanket, Xu Lan Ya felt both disappointed and a bit touched.

Nowadays, honest men are really hard to find like searching with a lantern. Unconsciously, her heart had fallen for Yezi.

"No, just, you said some things that worried me." Yezi felt it was time to put his cards on the table.

His face, despite a sleepless night, showed hesitation, and he began pacing around the room.

"What did I say?" Xu Lan Ya was equally nervous, given her guilty conscience, especially about her past flings with other men. If all had been revealed, how would Li Ye view her?

"You said some things I didn’t understand, about your grandfather, northeast, spirit vein, your unwillingness to go, and how you are currently struggling." Yezi turned to face her, his eyes mixed seemingly with pity and affection.

Damn, after watching Korean dramas all night, he couldn’t quite nail the intensely affectionate look that the actors had; achieving even fifty to sixty percent was already quite good.

Xu Lan Ya’s anxiety eased, relieved that she hadn’t exposed her past disgrace. She bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Yezi, you clueless person, all that watching was in vain. Look at that, people’s tears are like a faucet, they can turn them on and off as they wish," Seeing Yezi deterred by a woman’s tears, Little Pig opportunely appeared, patting Yezi’s clothes. Yezi shivered and came to his senses.

He was almost tricked by her. Yezi quickly grabbed a tissue and handed it to Xu Lan Ya, his voice showing his panic, "Lan Ya, what’s wrong? Don’t cry."

"Ugh, I can’t stand this. I’ll just go back to sleep," Little Pig burrowed back into Yezi’s embrace to continue its comfy nap.

"Ah Ye, I don’t treat you like an outsider. Although to outsiders I am the glamorous heiress of the Xu Family, my life is actually not easy," Xu Lan Ya considered how much truth she should reveal. For someone like Li Ye who was new to love, she initially planned to devour him whole.

After all, Huang Tengchong mentioned that Yezi might be a Superpower User with exceptional taming skills, and his looks and physique were also factors that could benefit both the Xu Family and Xu Lan Ya herself.

But this youngster, though naive, wasn’t foolish.

His behavior yesterday at the pharmacy and his cautiousness these days showed that he knew how to advance and retreat. If she continued to deceive him with lies, it might just arouse his suspicions.

Xu Lan Ya made up her mind and ended up spilling everything about the past twenty years, including the Xu Family affairs and the childhood humiliations she endured, even revealing how she schemed to kill Xu Bohao.

After she finished, she was unable to stop crying, pathetically looking at Yezi.

Yezi didn’t expect Xu Lan Ya to be so thorough in her confession. Hearing these family internal affairs made his scalp tingle.

He knew he was in big trouble after learning so much about Xu Lan Ya; she wouldn’t let him go easily. Cold sweat started on Yezi’s back; at this moment, he was caught between a rock and a hard place.

Since it was out, he had to resolve the matter anyhow. Yezi, steeling himself, sat next to Xu Lan Ya, gently patting her shoulder: "Lan Ya, these things have passed, and it’s not entirely your fault. You were just trying to protect yourself."

"Yezi, you’re so good to me," Xu Lan Ya embraced Li Ye affectionately.

She had never shared these matters with anyone, and speaking them out loud now, she felt an unprecedented relief, leaning closely against his broad shoulders, her heart throbbing with excitement.

"You should just call me Ah Ye. I’m not used to others calling me Yezi," Yezi suppressed his urge to push Xu Lan Ya away, the only exception being his father and Mama, apart from that delicate girl who smiled like the twinkling morning stars.

All women, yet there was such a vast difference in the feelings they evoked. Xiao Xian always carried a faint fragrance of grass and trees, unlike Xu Lan Ya, who was draped in strong perfume.

Yezi’s thoughts drifted, his longing for Xiao Xian intensifying.

"Whatever you say, Ah Ye. What should I do? Grandfather entrusted me with a task, and I’ve botched it. Do I really have to go to the northeast? I can’t even grasp the situation there," Xu Lan Ya, drawing in his masculine aroma, felt waves in her heart and her mind foggy.

"You must go to the northeast and solve this. Otherwise, if the Mei Family finds the legendary ginseng spiritual vein, it would spell doom for the Xu Family." Yezi was also curious about what kind of spiritual vein could garner such fervent desire from major families, with personnel especially stationed to guard it.

"Alright, I will contact Celeste and Huang Tengchong, gather everyone, and head to the northeast together. You should come with me," Seeing Yezi nodding in agreement, Xu Lan Ya’s heart filled with satisfaction and without hesitation, she went to contact Aisha and the others.

Yezi sat in the living room, lamenting, "It really did happen as Little Pig jinxed, off to a business trip now. Well, it’s good in a way; I can avoid my father for some time." (To be continued.
