Chapter 499: Chapter 498: 【What to Do When Entwined by Fate?】

[PS: The second update is here. Playing it cute, may I ask for a monthly ticket, please?]

When Fan Ruoxuan arrived at the Ye family, what else could her purpose be? The moment Fan Ruoxuan swung the stick and knocked out Li Xin, saving Su Feifei, and Ye Tianchen looked at her, her gaze was far from friendly. Ye Tianchen naturally guessed a thing or two.

Not long ago, the old master of the Fan family, Fan Xingyu, expressed intentions to marry Fan Ruoxuan to Ye Tianchen. Plainly speaking, he fancied Tianchen—a union between two great families based on mutual interests. Otherwise, no matter how handsome Ye Tianchen was, even multiplied by a thousand, he wouldn’t likely be considered good enough for the beautiful Fan Ruoxuan.

Among great families and powerful forces, marriages for the sake of alliance are not about beauty or ugliness. So, don’t think being born in a great family with endless glory and wealth is necessarily a good thing. Oftentimes, you have no control over your life. If you’re unlucky and caught the eye of some hideous daughter from a powerful family, or it’s a family mission, then your life will be filled with endless tears. Many decisions are not yours to make, sometimes even less so than ordinary people.

Ye Tianchen knew that Fan Ruoxuan had come because he called her an ”ugly monster,” and what puzzled him was, why were women so petty? Especially the beauties, they took pettiness to another level. He had casually made that comment back in the day because he didn’t want to marry into the Fan family. Little did he expect Fan Ruoxuan would take it to heart and actually show up in person, leaving Ye Tianchen at a loss for words.

”Heartless, then let me see just how heartless you really are...” As Fan Ruoxuan spoke, she shockingly placed her right hand on the button at the chest of her red, dragon patterned cheongsam.

”Hey... what are you doing? ’Don’t listen to impropriety, don’t speak of impropriety, don’t look at impropriety’... I’m not that kind of man, I won’t look, so stop that!” Ye Tianchen, thinking Fan Ruoxuan was about to undress, quickly shouted.

Fan Ruoxuan gave Ye Tianchen a fierce glare, especially because while he was talking about ”don’t look at impropriety,” he wasn’t avoiding his gaze at all. On the contrary, his eyes were wide open, staring intently at Fan Ruoxuan’s ample chest, his eyes gleaming with a man’s natural desires.

”What do you think? I just want to tell you that it’s your loss not to appreciate Miss here...”

No sooner had her words finished than Fan Ruoxuan turned around, and in a swift motion, took off her red, dragon patterned cheongsam. Ye Tianchen immediately widened his eyes to take a good look. Why wouldn’t he, when a beauty was offering a free view, and there’s no loss for him? Little did he know that once Fan Ruoxuan removed her cheongsam, underneath was a pink dress-style nightgown. The semi-transparent fabric revealed glimpses of her skin, her curvaceous figure, and especially her pert, high-raised buttocks that seemed naturally voluptuous. For someone like Ye Tianchen, who had a particular fondness for women’s behinds, this was a real temptation.

”Nice butt, very plump!” Ye Tianchen grinned and commented.

”Pervert!”

At that moment, another voice cut in, startling Ye Tianchen. Su Feifei had woken up, and he hadn’t noticed, his right hand still resting on her vest, while his eyes fixed on Fan Ruoxuan’s behind. Truth be told, Fan Ruoxuan had an extremely sexy figure, especially her shapely rear—one of the most rounded and uplifted he had seen among the many women he’d encountered, presenting a visual that naturally attracted men and stimulated vigorous secretion of hormones, difficult to resist.

”Ha ha, you’re awake. It’s good that you’re awake. Are you alright?” Ye Tianchen laughed as he looked at Su Feifei and asked.

Su Feifei gave Ye Tianchen a glare, stood up from the chair, turned to look at the voluptuous Fan Ruoxuan, and said with a lukewarm smile, ”Miss Fan’s figure is indeed not bad, though it seems like this might not be the right place to showcase it, right?”

”Life is but a fleeting few decades. If you have a good figure and don’t show it off, should you wait until you’re old and faded? Of course, for those who don’t ever have a figure, there’s no need to show off at all,” Fan Ruoxuan said with a light smile as she slipped back into her red, dragon patterned cheongsam.

”You... who are you saying lacks a figure?” Su Feifei glared at Fan Ruoxuan and demanded.

”I didn’t say you, but if you want to take it upon yourself, I don’t mind,” Fan Ruoxuan shrugged and casually smiled.

”Is that so? Even if you have a great figure, even if you have a big butt, Ye Tianchen still won’t fancy you. There must be many other large families who now want to tie the knot with the Ye family; you don’t stand a chance.”

”I don’t have a chance? Do you think you do? Does the Su family also want to form an alliance with the Ye family?”

”That’s different. Tianchen and I are in a relationship out of free will, unlike you, who are being forced into things. It’s too disgraceful.”

”Who gets a chance isn’t up to us. It’s only valid if he says so...”

Su Feifei and Fan Ruoxuan, the two women, were at loggerheads. Ideally, this shouldn’t happen—they both originated from great families, and their scheming and depth were far more advanced than that of ordinary women, rarely ever exposing themselves to jealousy or petty fights. However, when love strikes, even God could go mad and lose rationality, let alone mere mortals? Every person, no matter how powerful, cannot escape the seven emotions and six desires. Especially when it comes to war between women, it can be far more frightening than that between men.

”You said...,”

”You said...,”

Almost at the same time, Su Feifei and Fan Ruoxuan both turned around, intending to question Ye Tianchen. However, when they turned, they realized there was no sign of Ye Tianchen in the room. He had already left without them knowing, leaving only Su Feifei and Fan Ruoxuan arguing incessantly with each other.

”Oh, I am a person of pure kindness, yet fortune in love relentlessly pursues me!”

In the deserted corridor of the Ye family’s old mansion, Ye Tianchen slowly walked forward, shaking his head and muttering to himself. Suddenly, he caught the scent of food and the next moment, he vanished on the spot, reappearing in the open-air dining area set for the guests of the Ye family’s banquet.

”Master, give me some braised chicken wings...” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

In the Capital City, in a villa district that only military and government bigwigs are qualified to enter, a place not even figures like Fan Xingyu and Su Tianhe are eligible to enter, around a villa guarded 24 hours a day, stood eight armed guards in eight different directions, all elite special soldiers selected from the military. By logic, only the highest chief, the number one leader, is qualified for such protection. But the person inside this military and government villa was an old revolutionary predecessor who even the number one leader greatly respects. Special orders had been given to allocate this level of security to protect the revered elder generation revolutionaries.

”Who scared my Xin’er like this?” An old man with fully white hair, looking to be in his seventies and quite thin yet with bright, piercing eyes exuding a natural domineering presence, dressed in military attire, fully embodied the authority of a soldier.

”Yes, the Ye family sent someone over, Mr. Ye said it was all a misunderstanding, hoping that the two families could get along well,” a young soldier reported.

”What exactly happened? Tell me everything from start to finish,” the old soldier demanded seriously.

This old military man was Li Xin’s grandfather, the very figure Su Feifei hinted could stand on equal terms with Yang Yi, and whom even the number one leader held in high regard. His name was Li Jian, a veteran revolutionary who had devoted his life to the country and its people. All three of his sons had died on the battlefield, yet he never wavered. Now in his seventies, even after having retired for many years, he still contributes his ideas and suggestions to the military’s development. This old general, hardened by warfare, was known for his stubborn and fiery temper, readily able to slam the table and the bench even with the number one leader, embodying firmness and resilience throughout his life.

At this moment, when Li Jian saw his only grandson, Li Xin, carried in unconscious and frightened by two guards, his brow furrowed. Li Xin was his only grandson, and no matter how unruly or extravagant the boy was, he intended to protect him. The Li family had only Li Xin left to carry on its lineage, and Li Jian would not let it end on his watch. Otherwise, even in death, he would have no face to meet the ancestors of the Li family.

”The Ye family? Which Ye family?” Li Jian asked with a frown.

”That would be Ye Yuanshan,” the guard standing before Li Jian replied.

”Ye Yuanshan? What’s he? To think he lets his grandson assault my grandson, I refuse to believe there’s no justice left,” Li Jian said, slamming the table and raising his voice.

”Report, the thing is...”

”No need to say more, I know it all. Now, gather the guards from the security battalion and bring me Ye Yuanshan’s grandson, Ye Tianchen,” Li Jian cut off the guard, who wanted to continue, speaking sternly and angrily.

”But...”

”That’s an order!”

”Yes!”

The guard left the office, gathering over thirty members of the security battalion, each one armed with a submachine gun. After forming up, they set off in military vehicles, their destination naturally being the Ye family, to apprehend Ye Tianchen.

After seeing the guard leave the office, Li Jian stood up and walked over to his unconscious grandson, Li Xin. Shaking his head, he sighed and said, ”Xin’er, when will you grow up? I don’t have much time left. I’m fiercely upholding the honor of the Li family just to lay down a solid foundation for you. I decided to decisively capture Ye Tianchen without even sorting out right from wrong, solely to bolster the Li family’s reputation one more time. Even if I die, there shouldn’t be any great clan or power bold enough to easily target you. Grow up and mature quickly, I really cannot hold on much longer, this is the last time...” (To be continued.
