  Helan Fangnian could not act as rashly as Yue Tingfeng could—this was his sister’s coming-of-age ceremony after all. It was a once-in-a-lifetime event, he could not ruin it.

  Helan Fangnian pushed Yue Tingfeng away. “We’re not done with this yet.”


  Yue Tingfeng straightened his shirt slowly and said, “Bring it on. We’re brothers after all, let’s settle this once and for all. There should be no grey area when it comes to women.”


  Even if Helan Fangnian did not come, Yue Tingfeng would go look for him anyway. He still wanted Helan Fangnian to come clean on what happened between the two of them in country M.

  Helan Fangnian clenched his jaw and hissed, “I will not give her up to you.”


  With that, he left.

  He picked up his coat, corrected his tie and smirked. “Go ahead and try to take her from me then.”
……

  After tidying up his look, Yue Tingfeng headed back into the banquet hall and looked around, Yan Qingsi was nowhere to be found. Instead, he saw his mother.

  “Mum.”


  Mrs. Yue was surrounded by a group of rich wives from various families. Seeing her son, she quickly pulled him to the side. “What did you do? Why did you bring that little slut here?” she berated.

  “She’s my woman, why shouldn’t I bring her? Where is she?”


  “Who knows where she’s run off to. She didn’t even come and greet me, such rudeness.”


  Yue Tingfeng quickly changed the subject. “You didn’t wear that new jade bracelet?”


  “Oh, Mrs. Wang from the Bo Yuan Financial Group wanted to borrow it and I didn’t know how to reject her.”


  While the two of them were chatting, a familiar voice rang out.

  “Tingfeng, Aunty, long time no see.”


  Mother and son looked up to see Yan Ruke dressed in a sky blue dress standing elegantly in front of them.

  “Ruke…… You……”


  Yue Tingfeng cut his mother off. “Mum, go chat with your friends over there. You’re an adult already, learn how to look at a person’s personality. Don’t always confuse a bad person for a good one.”


  Yan Ruke remained unmoved and greeted Mrs. Yue warmly. “Aunty, I’ll accompany you there, we got a lot of catching up to do.”


  Yue Tingfeng held on to Mrs. Yue. “Yan Ruke, don’t you have ears, did you not hear what I said? You won’t need your ears then. Let me find someone to cut them off for you.”


  Yan Ruke’s face paled. “Tingfeng, I know you don’t want to see me, if I’d known you were coming, I wouldn’t have let you see me. Miss Helan invited me personally, so I couldn’t be so rude as to reject a personal invitation.”


  “Tingfeng, how could you say that?” Mrs. Yue whispered.

  Suddenly, someone squeezed in between Mrs. Yue and Yue Tingfeng, holding onto both their arms. “What a merry affair, what are you talking about, mind if I join in?”


  Yan Ruke’s clenched her fist upon hearing that voice, that smile on her face was on the verge of disappearing.

  Looking at Yan Qingsi, Mrs. Yue said, “Where did you come from? You scared me.”


  Yan Qingsi spoke warmly to Mrs. Yue, “Aunty, it’s only been a few days since we last met and you’ve already become prettier! Thank you for your dress that day. Next time I’ll stop by the house to try your grilled steak again. I miss it so much.”


  Mrs. Yue pouted and said, “That was for my son, not you.”


  “Isn’t it the same? You love your son, your son loves me, so you love me too.” Yan Qingsi reasoned then turned over to look at Yue Tingfeng. “Isn’t that right, darling?”


  Yue Tingfeng pinched Yan Qingsi’s cheeks. “Of course that’s right. Where have you been?”


  Yan Qingsi shot him a cold look and said, “I was hurt by a jerk, so I went looking for nice guys for therapy, is there a problem?”
