Nearly Fell for It! Ye Qingying's Memories

"Jiang Cheng, what do you think?"

Upon hearing Qin Yan's words, Jiang Cheng was about to say "Okay".

But the words were swallowed back down as soon as they reached his throat, and alarm bells rang in his mind.

Was Yan'er testing him?

That's right, that must be it.

It seemed like I was asking for his opinion, but actually I wanted to see his attitude...

If he agrees, this girl will be extremely jealous, and I'm sure I'll be in big trouble tonight.

That was close! I almost got infected!

"I'll do whatever you say."

After realizing what was happening, Jiang Cheng spoke calmly.

He would naturally not resist building a good relationship with Ye Qingying, especially since Ye Bufan had not yet returned to the Ye Family.

This is a perfect opportunity to sow discord!

Soon, the three arrived at a high-end restaurant.

"Qingying, you seem distracted. Did something happen?"

Qin Yan took Jiang Cheng's arm and pretended to be puzzled.

She had already noticed that Ye Qingying's eyes were practically glued to her little man.

"Nothing, I just thought of some things."

Ye Qingying took a sip of tea, her expression indifferent, revealing nothing unusual.

Qin Yan smiled and didn't ask any further questions.

She believed that as long as she continued to be affectionate with Jiang Cheng, Ye Qingying would eventually lose her temper.

She'll have plenty of ways to get this woman to speak up.

Even though the meal was almost over, and no matter how hard Qin Yan tried, Ye Qingying remained as steady as a mountain...

Could it be that she's mistaken?

Actually, Ye Qingying doesn't have any feelings for Jiang Cheng?

Qin Yan's resolve wavered.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing that Qin Yan was frowning, as if she was thinking about something, Jiang Cheng asked in confusion.

He had noticed something was off earlier; the girl's intimate gestures during the meal seemed too deliberate, as if she were asserting her dominance.

"I'm a little tired, let's go back."

Qin Yan shook her head and rested her head on Jiang Cheng's shoulder.

Since there's no chance today anyway, I might as well go back and spend time with my boyfriend.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng didn't think much of it and looked at Ye Qingying before speaking.

"Miss Ye, Yan'er and I will be leaving now."

After saying that, Jiang Cheng picked up Qin Yan and gently picked her up.

"Take a nap if you're tired."

Qin Yan hummed in agreement and nestled in Jiang Cheng's arms like a kitten.

Watching the two figures leave, Ye Qingying's expression showed a moment of loneliness.

Thoughts began to surge, and a hint of reminiscence appeared in her eyes.

To be precise, in her previous life, she met Jiang Cheng earlier than Qin Yan.

Jiang Cheng simply didn't know that.

At that time Kyoto University and Jiang Cheng University had an exchange activity.

She led a team to Jiang Cheng as a professor's assistant.

She thought it would be just an ordinary event, but she never expected to meet someone she would never forget.

At that time, she went to visit Grandpa Bai, who was Bai Shouzhong, the former Principal of Jiang Cheng University, but unexpectedly heard the sound of a flute.

Actually, she wasn't very interested in music.

But when she heard that piece of music, she stopped in her tracks, a rare occurrence, as the emotions it expressed resonated with her.

Even though she didn't know any musical instruments, she knew that the person playing this piece was a master.

Out of politeness, she didn't disturb them but stood outside and waited.

When the song ended, she was still in a daze for a long time.

Until Grandpa Bai's voice rang out,

"Brother Jiang, your Flute skills are truly remarkable; I am ashamed to admit my inferiority."

Upon hearing this, she assumed it was from Grandpa Bai's guest.

I thought he must be a respected elder, someone in his seventies.

But the next second, a young voice rang out.

She was slightly surprised and was about to go inside.

Then they heard the man say goodbye to Grandpa Bai and come out. He was a handsome young man with a gentle and refined appearance.

She was wearing a mask at the time, and the two only nodded to each other when they met.

She glanced at it briefly, not paying much attention.

But when she entered the room, her attention was drawn to several sheets of Xuan paper on the table.

Several poems were written on it with a brush, the characters were vigorous and powerful, yet still beautiful.

"In heaven, we wish to be birds flying wing to wing; on earth, we wish to be trees with intertwined branches."

Heaven and earth may pass away, but this sorrow will last forever.

She, who has always loved poetry and songs, was immediately captivated.

He quickly asked Grandpa Bai who wrote it, only to find out it was the young man from earlier.

He is accomplished in musical instruments, calligraphy, and poetry.

For the first time, she felt a strong curiosity about a man and wanted to get to know him better.

She didn't feel this way even when facing the sons of prominent families in Capital.

Finally, she learned the young man's name.

Jiang Cheng, a close friend of Grandpa Bai Unlikely Friendship.

But when a woman becomes curious about a man, that's when she begins to fall for him.

She was no exception!

In the following days, the more she learned about Jiang Cheng, the more attracted she became to him.

She knew she was falling for him.

She began planning to create a chance encounter with Jiang Cheng, even if it was just to start as friends.

But when she learned that Jiang Cheng had someone he liked, she could only leave sadly.

After returning to Capital, she went abroad to pursue further studies.

This departure lasted for several years.

When she returned, she tried her best to refrain from inquiring about Jiang Cheng's whereabouts.

When they met again, Ye Bufan had become the young master of the Ye Family, causing the Jiang Family to be destroyed, and Jiang Cheng had come to the Capital to seek revenge.

She would never forget the heartache she felt when she saw Jiang Cheng lose all his spirit, becoming like a walking corpse, with only revenge in his eyes.

She wanted to advise Jiang Cheng to live well, but what right did she have?

In Jiang Cheng's eyes, she was just a stranger, or even an accomplice who caused his family's ruin.

So she began to investigate the matter.

She believed there must be some misunderstanding.

Once the problem is solved, she will do everything in her power to make it up to Jiang Cheng for the rest of her life.

But just as she was focused on her investigation, Jiang Cheng was killed by Ye Bufan.

And they were accused of many unfounded crimes.

It was then that she saw Ye Bufan's true colors.

How could she allow the person she loved so deeply to suffer injustice even in death?

But by then Ye Bufan had already gained considerable influence, so she could only investigate secretly, hoping to help Jiang Cheng and the Jiang Family clear their name.

But through this investigation, she discovered a truth.

The reason her father developed a strange illness was because Ye Bufan was behind it.

He first poisoned her father, and then used his medical skills to save him when he was critically ill, thereby gaining her favor.

My goal is to get her!

Fortunately, she discovered it in time and prevented that beast Ye Bufan from succeeding.

From that day on, she began plotting how to kill Ye Bufan.

Soon, her opportunity arrived.

When Qin Yan, Shen Xiyue, and other women came to Jiang Cheng's door seeking revenge.

Seeing that the time was right, she took advantage of Ye Bufan's inattention and stabbed him in the back with a poisoned dagger without hesitation.

Only after witnessing Ye Bufan suffer countless torments and die in agony did she leave with heavy steps...
