Ye Tang looked at his younger brother’s agitated state and suddenly had the emotional thought, ‘Ye Kun has really grown up.‘
“This Fang Xi… she was once Xi Cheng’s lover?” Ye Tang asked bluntly. Ye Kun opened his mouth and nodded reluctantly. “Yeah.”
“You and Xi Cheng are best buds,” Ye Tang lightly commented.
Ye Kun grudgingly nodded but retorted, “So what? Before they broke up, we had no idea that the girl Xi Cheng had hidden away was Fang Xi. He doesn’t love her at all! He monopolized and wasted her youth!”
“Don’t comment on other people’s relationships so easily; you’re not the one involved, so you don’t have the right to judge. Just tell me what happened between you and her,” Ye Tang coldly reminded his brother.
Ye Kun shut his mouth, having calmed down. He took a deep breath and told Ye Tang, “I fell in love with a girl called Fang Xi. I’m the one who pursued her, but when I finally got her to fall for me, she got into a car accident and is still in the intensive care unit right now.”
He continued, “The doctors said they aren’t certain when she’ll wake up. They advise her family members to talk to her often; it might stimulate her to wake up sooner. When Shi Nian was unconscious previously, Yun Nan’s constant crying by his ear was what woke him up.”
Ye Tang looked at his little brother’s determined expression. “Are you planning to wake her up by crying, too?”
Ye Kun choked, stunned. ‘Big brother… is he teasing me? He felt his big brother wasn’t out to make things difficult for him, so he boldly voiced his thoughts. “Ye Tang, I plan to marry Fang Xi when she wakes up. I’ve already put the engagement ring on her finger!”
Ye Tang glared at him. “You put a ring on her finger while she’s unconscious, and you’re just going to treat it as if she’d agreed?”
Ye Kun nodded and confidently replied, “Shi Nian and Yun Nan agreed. They are our witnesses! Ye Tang, Fang Xi will agree when she wakes up!”
Ye Tang inclined his head. “I see. So that’s why, when Auntie Xi denounced Fang Xi, you publicly announced that Fang Xi is your fiancée? And even published an article to tell the world about you two’s love story?”
“Yeah!” Ye Kun openly admitted. “I asked Liang Han to write it for me!” Ye Kun added, feeling quite proud of this move.
Ye Tang’s voice became stern as he demanded, “Have you thought about the consequences your actions will bring our family? I know you’re defending your girlfriend, but where does that leave the Ye family’s reputation?”
Ye Kun did a double-take. Then, he bravely met Ye Tang’s gaze and stated, “Big Brother, this has nothing to do with the Ye family’s reputation. I fell in love with a girl, so naturally, I must stand up for her when others slander her. What consequence can such a thing bring to our Ye family? Is our family’s reputation so fragile that we need to sacrifice a girl’s innocence to protect it?”
