Chapter Thirty-Three

  "I'll take her place." A sudden, firm voice cut through the silence of the room, and it seemed to echo back again and again. My eyes grew slightly moist. His hair moved as he was about to stand up, his movements not delayed in the slightest, without even a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

  This boy, seemingly gentle as jade but cold and unfeeling, with an iron heart and a cunning mind, yet for my sake, for this small, almost laughable self-esteem of mine, for this insignificant and harmless wish of mine, he would actually abandon his dignity as a man...

  Why is he so determined and unquestionable when there is gold under his knees?

  I suddenly smiled sincerely, reached out and grabbed his hand, he looked at me with a surprised gaze, saw my teary eyes and smiled slightly again. I stopped him from comforting me. Ye Chenyi, did you think I just wanted to thank you? Cheng Xiaofei may not be a good girl, but she's not heartless enough to watch someone abandon their dignity for her!

  So I took a step forward, without any regret, towards that man. I turned back to give Ye Chen Yi a bright smile, then coldly stared at Cheng Xiang Tian - and knelt down!

  For the first time, I knelt down, and the sound of my knees hitting the floor made my ears ring. I struggled to hold back the humiliation and resentment in my heart, and looked up at the man who could be called handsome with a raised head and chest. Suddenly, I realized that protecting Ye Chenyi's dignity made me very happy.

  Perhaps they did not expect me to persist in this way, or compromise, but it was never a joke. A cold smile spread across the man's stern face, and I knew he was mocking my humility: "I, Cheng Tian, am a man of my word, but you are just a small nanny, and Yiran is just a temporary interest. Of course, I don't need to bother with what you think." Although his words were somewhat harsh, at least he didn't deny it, and I thought that was good enough.

  On the other side, Mrs. Cheng's face turned pale when she heard the term "a mere woman", and her expression was not very pleasant.

  But this really has nothing to do with me anymore.

  "However," the man's tone changed as he turned to Ye Chenyi, "Young Master Ye should also be careful, I suppose your respected father wouldn't want you to indulge in women either?"

  His face changed color in an instant!

  My face turned iron-green, and I knew Ye Chenyi was no better off. A sudden murderous intent arose in my heart: that damned Cheng Xiangtian!

  "Hehe, thank you for your advice, Mr. Cheng." Suddenly, a gentle voice was heard, "However, I think my father will also believe in Chen Yi's choice." I didn't expect Ye Chenyi to be so steady and mature, unlike me who can't calm down, he once again used his usual disguise, although the disguise is ruthless, but Ye Chenyi, you don't know that the tenderness under your mask is so easy to see.

  I propped myself up with one hand, gave a cold smile, and spoke in a tone that was almost gnashing my teeth: "If Mr. Cheng has nothing else to say, then Chen Yiyu and I will take our leave." As soon as I finished speaking, I didn't wait for Ye Chenyiyu to bid farewell, and pulled him along to quickly walk out of the great hall.

  No need for the servant's guidance, I almost ran out of the Cheng family.

  "Xiao Fei, are you very familiar with this place?" I panted and leaned against my knee, suddenly hearing Ye Chenyi ask while looking at the building behind him. I knew he was asking me why I was so familiar with this place, and I also knew that his melancholy was because this was Cheng Yiran's home. I also knew that he would misunderstand. However, I didn't have the courage to admit that I used to be a member of the Cheng family, I didn't want him to dislike me.

  I would rather he leave me than be a shadow in his heart.

  I forced a laugh and glossed over it.

  He never asked questions like "Why can you do so much for Cheng Yiran?", I don't know if he didn't think of it at all, or if his personality since childhood suppressed him.

  ……

  Young Master Cheng Yiran had prepared a rich dinner and a brilliant smile to welcome us back.

  Ye Chenyi was unfairly given the seat of honor, I secretly resented Cheng Yiran and replied: "We should give a good impression to our future brother-in-law." He said with a smile. I punched him without courtesy.

  But I suddenly realized a problem!

  I and Cheng Yiran actually started biting each other's ears so openly, judging from Ye Chenyi's usual style, I thought he would definitely look unhappy now. But when I frowned at him, I saw that he was smiling and making a phone call, vaguely hearing two words - "Xiao Shi" ...

  Started with joy, ended in separation.
