Soft, warm, and fragrant; easily pushed over; the obsessive demon king becomes addicted to pampering

Chapter 193 Drinking heavily when in a bad mood?

Ye Rufeng had anticipated this scene, so he wasn't surprised at all. He wore a seemingly indifferent smile but didn't say anything more.

A glint of light appeared in Jiang Chenyan's eyes behind his glasses. He looked at the other person coldly, and at that moment he finally understood why the Demon Alliance had acted this way.

Ye Rufeng's dispatch of assassins to kill Tong Guang not only touched a raw nerve with Si Hanye, but also crossed his bottom line. Despite their childhood friendship, he would never tolerate Ye Rufeng's act of killing a girl.

Jiang Chenyan's cheeks were no longer warm and gentle; they had turned cold and indifferent!

Ye Rufeng smiled. "Chen Yan must hate me a lot. Aren't you curious why I did this?"

"I have no interest in hearing this!"

No matter the reason!

Ye Rufeng shouldn't have laid a hand on the innocent... Jiang Chenyan only knew that, as he himself said, some things, once done, are done.

No matter how many high-sounding reasons or hardships he had afterward, none of them could justify Ye Rufeng's ruthless killing of his beloved.

Suddenly interrupted by the other party, Ye Rufeng didn't care at all, and regardless of whether Jiang Chenyan wanted to listen to these things, he continued to talk on his own.

"From childhood, Ruyan's biggest wish was to be your bride. This wish never changed as she grew up; in fact, it became even more persistent. As the eldest daughter of the Ye family, she always got whatever she wanted, but when it came to you, she was always anxious and insecure. Every move you made affected her heart. She had been looking forward to the resort trip for so long, but that night, all your thoughts were on someone else."

When Ye Rufeng spoke of his younger sister, a touch of sadness appeared on his face.

“I know it’s just her wishful thinking, and I understand that her love for you has nothing to do with anyone else, especially that girl who is truly innocent. But there’s nothing I can do. She’s my only sister, and I can’t bear to see her hurt by love.”

After a slight pause, Ye Rufeng looked at Jiang Chenyan again. "You know I've never been a good person; I'm willing to do anything to achieve my goals. As for this matter, Ruyan has been kept in the dark from beginning to end. Everything was done by me in private."

Jiang Chenyan sneered. Could the stakeholders in this incident really so confidently claim innocence?

"I told you, I have no interest in knowing any of this!"

Jiang Chenyan's gaze swept over Ye Rufeng beside the table. At this moment, Ye Rufeng gave Jiang Chenyan a feeling that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Perhaps I've never really understood the other person all these years.

He parted his lips slightly and said, "Even if she hadn't appeared, I would never have fallen in love with Ruyan. To me, Ruyan has always been just a friend, and there has never been any special emotional connection between us."

Ye Rufeng remained calm, showing no surprise at the answer. He had known it all along, and his sister knew the answer even better than he did, yet she stubbornly refused to give up.

This girl... she's so naive it's heartbreaking!

Jiang Chenyan left the Demon-Suppressing Prison. What Ye Rufeng did was unforgivable, both to Si Hanye and to him.

He looked up and gazed at the clear blue sky, which was cloudless and a vast expanse of azure.

The weather was lovely today, but unfortunately, such beautiful scenery failed to dispel the gloomy sadness that permeated the man's heart.

Looking back on everything, Jiang Chenyan never imagined that one day his love would become a sword piercing the girl.

It turned out that the man was right. Unable to control his heart, he revealed his affections in public, which actually put her in danger...

At the Ye family's main residence, Ye Ruyan wept bitterly, her thin shoulders trembling uncontrollably.

"Wanning, what should we do? What should we do? Is my brother really never coming back? How could this happen!"

Bai Wanning felt a pang of sorrow in his heart, sighed, and hugged Ye Ruyan tightly. "No, he... he'll be alright."

As she said this, her eyes reddened slightly, clearly indicating that she was not as calm as she appeared.

Ye Ruyan seemed to have grasped at the last straw. She suddenly raised her tear-streaked face and said urgently, "Wan Ning, do you have a way to save my brother? Please tell me, I beg you."

Hurriedly wiping away her tears, Ye Ruyan sobbed, "Wan Ning, I know this might put you in a difficult position. I'm truly at my wit's end. As the head of the Ye family, Father must put the family's interests first. But I'm different; I don't have that kind of magnanimity or sense of responsibility."

"I just want my brother to come back to me safely. I really can't bear the pain of losing him... Don't you have connections with that official? Could you please plead for me?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Wanning lowered her eyes, concealing the complex emotions within them. She knew that after that incident, she could no longer stay by Han-gege's side as before.

If it weren't for her father, she might not even be able to stand here.

They are now strangers.

Given how much Brother Han values ​​that girl, how could he possibly let the person who hurt her off so easily!

A bitter feeling welled up in Bai Wanning's heart. After hesitating for a moment, he finally softened.

"I'll give it a try!"

"Thank you, Wan Ning. No matter how things turn out, I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life."

Ye Ruyan gratefully took her hand, a hint of surprise blooming on her face.

For Ye Ruyan, Ye Rufeng was the pillar of her life. If she lost this brother, Ye Ruyan would completely collapse.

Therefore, whether for Ruyan or Rufeng, she was going to give it a try.

The private room in the bar was dimly lit, and the table was covered with all kinds of drinks.

Jiang and Qiao picked up the wine bottle and gulped down a few mouthfuls, their rather hearty manner leaving Tong Guang speechless.

"Yu Qiao, drink slowly."

Jiang and Qiao acted as if they hadn't heard, continuing to chug their drinks as they pleased.

"Don't just watch me drink, come on, drink with me!" Jiang Yuqiao said, handing a bottle of wine to Tong Guang.

Taking the bottle from the other person, Tong Guang hesitated for a moment, then tilted her head back and took two sips. Instantly, a bitter taste hit her tongue, and her pretty face scrunched up in pain.

"Ugh, this wine tastes awful!" Tong Guang complained as she put down the bottle. It was nothing like the sweet fruit wine she had at the manor.

Turning around, I saw the other person finish another bottle of wine in one go, their speed was astonishing.

Tong Guang quickly stopped him. "Hey, you can't keep drinking like this. What's wrong? Why are you forcing me to drink like this?"

"I was in a bad mood, feeling upset, so I..."

"So you're drowning your sorrows in alcohol?"

Jiang and Qiao "..."

Tong Guang shook his head helplessly and asked softly, "What's on your mind? You can tell me, and I'll listen, okay?"

Jiang and Qiao put down the wine bottle in their hands, raised their flushed faces, and looked at the girl.

She muttered softly, "It's all because of my brother."
