Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1055: Chapter 621: Passing the Torch Back and

"Alright, I’ll go get Luo Ye to come in. You two should have a good talk." Feng Tianzhi stood up, letting out a light sigh. "Why do I feel like I’m just a no-brainer? If my grandpa knew I did this, he’d probably be furious!"

"Thank you!" Ye Xuan stood up, his voice full of sincerity. "I owe you one. If you ever need my help, just ask. As long as I can do it, I won’t refuse."

"Isn’t that a bit cliché?" Feng Tianzhi gave him a sidelong glance. "Let me emphasize again, I’m not doing this for you, but for Little Ye’er. I don’t want to see her unhappy, understand?"

"Of course I understand, but no matter what, I’m grateful for your support." Ye Xuan sighed heavily. "If Little Ye’er had met you first, or else, I wouldn’t have had this chance."

"Hmm, now that sounds more like a person talking." Feng Tianzhi’s eyes curved into a smile. "You can say things like this to me more often, it’s the best compliment."

As the door closed slightly, Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile. Perhaps having a friend like this wasn’t bad. He was both a rival and a friend, but genuinely sincere. You never had to worry about him betraying you; even if he wanted to harm you, he’d give you a heads-up first.

Of course, this straightforwardness was only because of Ye’er’s presence; otherwise, it would be a different story.

The rumors about Feng Tianzhi weren’t baseless. Without some tricks, how could he have risen to his current position at this age? Even with family protection, it’s not something easily done. Before, he might have misunderstood Feng’s promotion, but now he doesn’t anymore.

Just like him, if he hadn’t risked his life along with enough strategy, how could he have become a Major General at 25?

Would Ye’er forgive him?

Over the years of knowing Luo Ye, he had a pretty accurate grasp of her personality. She seemed easy-going, but if she got stubborn, no one could persuade her.

Sigh, regardless, he had decided to change, never letting similar things happen again.

In the past, he always thought he needed power to protect Ye’er properly, so he’d always be cautious in his actions. Now it seems he was wrong. With Ye’er’s abilities, she didn’t need him to protect her in everything.

What she needed was a man who could walk alongside her, not someone who overshadowed her entire sky! In terms of talent and skill, Ye’er was no less than any man!

He had thought of these problems before; why hadn’t he figured them out?

Perhaps people always need to go through some things, experience loss, to truly confront the issues?

Ye Xuan chuckled bitterly. He never thought his feelings would one day need Feng Tianzhi’s support. He was very well aware that if he were to ask Ye’er for a private conversation now, she wouldn’t pay him any heed.

But Feng Tianzhi was different. He was Ye’er’s direct superior, so naturally, Ye’er wouldn’t disregard him.

"Creak..." The door opened, and Luo Ye walked in with a stern face. Ye Xuan quickly stood up, smiling ingratiatingly, "Ye’er."

"Hmm." Luo Ye responded, looking at him coldly. "Mayor Ye, please sit down. If you have something to say, please do. I don’t want my colleagues to think I have a lot of personal affairs!"

She called him Mayor Ye!

Previously, Feng Tianzhi also called him Mayor Ye, not Major General Ye!

Obviously, they were deliberately using this form of address to remind him of his current identity!

"Ye’er..." Ye Xuan smiled wryly, "Can you, not call me that?"

"May I ask, how you would like to be addressed?" Luo Ye looked at him without expression. "Please tell me honestly."

"Ye’er, are you really angry with me?" Ye Xuan reached out, trying to hold Luo Ye’s arm, but she swiftly evaded as if stung by a scorpion, "Mr. Ye, please have some respect!"

Alright then, back to Mr. Ye!

Ye Xuan sighed again, "Ye’er, my coming with the team represents my determination. Please give me another chance, okay?"

"Please refer to me as Luo Ye. Only my family calls me Luo Ye."

"Is one mistake enough to condemn me to hell?" Ye Xuan’s eyes were full of pain. "Ye’er, don’t be like this, okay? The way you’re acting now makes me... feel so unfamiliar."

"Unfamiliarity is to be expected." Luo Ye glanced at him indifferently. "Such a handsome man as Mr. Ye, it’s better for us to keep some distance. Otherwise, one day when blood is spilled within five steps, you wouldn’t even know why!"

"Ye’er, can you stop teasing me?"

"I’m not. I’m only speaking the truth." Luo Ye suddenly chuckled lightly. "I’m really worried about your next girlfriend. Seriously, from the moment I met you, I’ve been constantly facing various women, all kinds, all body types, quite the collection." She let out a long breath. "Now, I can finally put my heart at rest. I won’t have to deal with these matters anymore." She stood up. "If Mr. Ye wanted to talk about these things with me, there’s no need. Goodbye!"

"Ye’er!" Ye Xuan grabbed her, seeing her frown and staring at his hand without saying a word. He painfully closed his eyes and when he opened them again, his eyes were calm. "I won’t force you, in matters of the heart, I really won’t force you anymore. But, can you sit down and listen to me finish what I have to say?"

Luo Ye responded softly, nodding her chin at his hand: "Let go."

Ye Xuan obediently released his grip and after Luo Ye sat down, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief — his greatest fear was that she would find even listening to him bothersome!

"Ye’er, regarding past matters, I must sincerely apologize to you..." After thoroughly explaining his thoughts and realizations, Ye Xuan’s tone shifted, "Saying all this is not to move Ye’er into forgiving me, but to show you my resolve. Additionally, I must express that some things were inherently understood and others were inspired by Feng Tianzhi.

I must honestly admit, he is a gentleman beyond reproach. Previously, his initiative to recite the suicide note was entirely meant to emphasize me, and this, I must tell you.

I don’t wish to rely on others deliberately belittling themselves to complete me, while also giving Ye’er a chance to deliberate carefully. Regardless of Ye’er’s final decision, I will not change my heart."

"Understood!" Luo Ye furiously stood up, "Finished talking? Once you’re done, I’m leaving!"

"Said... finished." Ye Xuan looked at the suddenly furious Luo Ye in bewilderment, unsure where he went wrong.

Luo Ye glanced at him, feeling even more irritated.

This damned man, what does he think she is? A gift that can be given and taken away? Whatever she decides is her own business, why do these two need to decide? Thinking about it, unable to calm her anger, she sat back down in a huff, waving at Ye Xuan: "You, out, call Feng Tianzhi in for me!"

"Yes." Ye Xuan’s eyes darkened briefly, obediently replied, and retreated.

"Bastard!" Luo Ye angrily cursed softly, her chest heaved violently.

After Feng Tianzhi pushed the door open and entered, he looked at her cheekily: "Little Ye’er, did you miss me?"

Luo Ye pointed at the opposite seat with a frown: "You, sit properly!"

"At your command!" Feng Tianzhi sat properly, "Captain Luo, please instruct!"

"You..." Originally furious, Luo Ye laughed in anger, "Can you be serious?"

"Am I not serious?" Feng Tianzhi spread his hands innocently, "If I’m not serious, is there any serious man in this world?"

Luo Ye pouted, "If you were a serious man, would there be any unserious men in the world?"

Feng Tianzhi’s eyes quickly filled with laughter: "This is the Little Ye’er I know, let others do the worrying."

"Captain Feng..." Luo Ye grew serious, "Calling you in was impulsive, but I must clarify now, in the future, please don’t act on your own to arrange matters for me.

I don’t agree with your approaches, the matters between Ye Xuan and me are private, whatever the outcome should be resolved by us.

Neither of us are children, won’t act on impulse, the future is long, this time I want to think and decide clearly what to do ultimately, what’s your meddling for?

Does it make you great? You two pushing and yielding here, showing greatness, and me? What do you think I am? If I notice a second time, we can’t even be friends anymore!"

"So you’re admitting we’re friends?" Feng Tianzhi smiled, his eyes narrowing, "Little Ye’er, can I ask a personal question? What is your relationship with Ye Xuan now?"

Luo Ye glared at him: "What business is it of yours? Was I speaking to the wall?"

"I’m wrong, it’s all my fault!" Feng Tianzhi slapped himself twice, "Little Ye’er, have a generous heart and forgive me this once. Sigh, blame your overwhelming charm, making me lose my sense..."

"Enough, stop pretending!" Luo Ye hesitated, "I want to know, has Lianlian’s situation been investigated thoroughly yet?"

"Yes." Feng Tianzhi became serious as well, "Luo Ye, this situation is more complex than imagined, intelligence indicates the target isn’t only Luo Lian, but also you.

You were able to come along to France, seemingly what the opponent was expecting, this information, I just received, thus the mission besides safely rescuing Luo Lian, is also to ensure your safety.

I’ve weighed it, among the 11 people, Ye Xuan’s skills are the best, so in the squad you’re leading, he must be with you, there’s no room for negotiation!"

"Got it, business is business, I won’t refuse..." Luo Ye’s eyes narrowed, "I’ve suspected for a while, besides targeting Lianlian, the main focus is me, to lure me out for my life seems to be their intention. Furthermore, they seem well aware of my character and relationship with Lianlian, otherwise, why would it be so coincidental?"
